One day about eight years ago in the departure lounge of a flight from New York’s LaGuardia airport to O’Hare in Chicago, I found a young boy in tears and his mother at his side also appeared upset. I walked to them and invited them to our VIP lounge.
As it turned out, the boy, Miles and his mom were returning to their home in Kansas City. Miles has had some health problems. Though he had received more than thirty operations in a Jewish Hospital in New York, he would be back for more.
Miles enjoyed spending his time in our VIP lounge looking at the entire wall filled with the pictures of many celebrities who often came to our office. We soon added Miles’ picture to the wall among those celebrities.
Among the celebrities, Miles liked the country singer Garth Brooks best. Miles would just sit and stare at Garth’s picture.
One day, Mr. Brooks was waiting in the lounge for his flight. As he looked at the collection of photographs, Garth asked about the youngster with the big smile. We told him about Miles. We also told him how much Miles loved and respected him. He nodded and left.
About six months later, Garth was going to be performing in Kansas City and he asked our workers to help him get in touch with the family. He wanted Miles to be his guest. That evening, not only did Miles sit in the front row, but he and Garth also had a private meeting after the performance.
Although Miles would receive many more treatments after that special evening, his smile greeted us with every following visit. The face of a sick boy was changed by the joy of a stranger.
24. What was the author probably?
A. A worker at an airport. B. A photographer in the lounge.
C. A country singer in the USA. D. A doctor in a Jewish hospital.

“Long time no see.” is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s e-mail, I laughed. I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish.
Obviously, it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greeting with wrong English grammar and structure! Later on, my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting. I was too surprised to believe her. Her words were unbelievable. So I did research on Google.com. To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages containing “Long time no see.”. Though it is sort of informal, it is part of the language that Americans use daily. Interestingly, if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word, the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.
Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence. Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies. In the 1930s, Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a worldwide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens. Detective Chan liked to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius. “Long time no see.” was his symbol. Soon after Charlie Chan, “Long time no see.” became a popular expression in America thanks to the popularity of these movies.
Some scholars compare America to a huge melting pot. All kinds of cultures are mixed in the pot together, and they change the colour and taste of each other. Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed pot.
You can have some examples from other countries, such as pizza from Italian, sushi from Japanese, and déjà vu from French etc. There is a long list! Since Americans admire Chinese culture more and more nowadays, I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future. In this way, the American’s melting pot keeps adding richness and flavour.
28. What did the writer himself feel surprised at?
A. The Chinglish expression “Long time no see.”.
B. Finding out Americans use the expression every day.
C. So many literal translations of the expressions used in America.
D. “Long time no see.” is used as a standard American English greeting.
29. What do the underlined words “melting pot” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. A container for storage. B. Culture mixture.
C. A kind of cooked dish. D. American changing cultures.
30. According to the passage, what can be inferred?
A. Detectives translated the phrase “Long time no see.”.
B. Cultures cannot be changed in the huge melting pot.
C. The huge melting pot greatly affects all kinds of languages.
D. Hollywood made “Long time no see.” popular.
31. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Some Chinese expressions are introduced into English.
B. The phrase “Long time no see.” is widely accepted in America.
C. Some American expressions can be used in China.
D. American English keeps being enriched by different cultures.
D
Shared e-scooters (电动滑板车) are becoming common across Australia. While they may offer a low-carbon option for tourism, do they benefit tourist cities? Our research team at Griffith University’s Cities Research Institute partnered with Neuron Mobility to conduct a survey of Townsville tourists between 2020 and 2021.
We analyzed the visiting e-scooter users’ travel and spending behaviors. Though their e-scooter hire costs were identical (一样的) , the visitors who rode the e-scooters the most spent most money in Townsville.
The active e-scooter users completed average 11 e-scooter trips, covering nearly 26 kilometers each while in Townsville. Many of these trips would have been completed by walking if e-scooters were unavailable. But they would have taken longer to complete each trip on foot, thus limiting the total number of destinations visited. Some other trips wouldn’t have occurred at all. One user commented, “We enjoyed being able to travel to areas that we would not normally have been to or were too far to walk in a reasonable amount of time.”
Many of these users said they did not need to use a car thanks to the e-scooters. This meant they were able to travel along the streets in Townsville without being trapped in the already busy roadways.
Across all the e-scooter users surveyed, most had never ridden an e-scooter before, but 91 percent reported they could ride it easily. Confirming the positive effect of e-scooters on both city image and visitor experience, 93 percent said they enjoyed travelling within Townsville. Besides, of all the visitors, active users spent more money on restaurants and cafes than the conditions without using e-scooters. Light users also spent a greater amount of money, mainly on shopping and services.
Henry, an e-scooter user said, “The weekly pass was extremely cost-effective. I highly recommend it and I will use e-scooters again. ” In fact, tourist cities like Townsville that adopt e-scooter sharing are promoting their image and tourism economy.
32. What will happen to the place where e-scooters are available?
A. Visitors can visit more attractions.
B. No trips will be finished on foot.
C. Visitors will be charged less money.
D. It will take visitors longer to get around.
33. What can be known about travelling in Townsville by car?
A. Cars will make tourists miss some views.
B. Visitors will be easily stuck in traffic jams.
C. Cars will take visitors to many places of interest.
D. Visitors will feel relaxed and comfortable to travel.
34. Why does the author mention the expenses of the visitors?
A. To confirm e-scooters are easy to handle.
B. To describe tourists’ experiences in Townsville.
C. To show e-scooters help promote local economy.
D. To compare spending ways between active and light users.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Tourism Booms in Townsville Thanks to E-scooters.
B. Townsville Encourages Its People to Use E-scooters.
C. Tourists Benefit from Local Traditional Transportation.
D. E-scooters Are Becoming the Main Means of Transportation.

One day about eight years ago in the departure lounge of a flight from New York’s LaGuardia airport to O’Hare in Chicago, I found a young boy in tears and his mother at his side also appeared upset. I walked to them and invited them to our VIP lounge.
As it turned out, the boy, Miles and his mom were returning to their home in Kansas City. Miles has had some health problems. Though he had received more than thirty operations in a Jewish Hospital in New York, he would be back for more.
Miles enjoyed spending his time in our VIP lounge looking at the entire wall filled with the pictures of many celebrities who often came to our office. We soon added Miles’ picture to the wall among those celebrities.
Among the celebrities, Miles liked the country singer Garth Brooks best. Miles would just sit and stare at Garth’s picture.
One day, Mr. Brooks was waiting in the lounge for his flight. As he looked at the collection of photographs, Garth asked about the youngster with the big smile. We told him about Miles. We also told him how much Miles loved and respected him. He nodded and left.
About six months later, Garth was going to be performing in Kansas City and he asked our workers to help him get in touch with the family. He wanted Miles to be his guest. That evening, not only did Miles sit in the front row, but he and Garth also had a private meeting after the performance.
Although Miles would receive many more treatments after that special evening, his smile greeted us with every following visit. The face of a sick boy was changed by the joy of a stranger.

“Long time no see.” is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s e-mail, I laughed. I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish.
Obviously, it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greeting with wrong English grammar and structure! Later on, my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting. I was too surprised to believe her. Her words were unbelievable. So I did research on Google.com. To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages containing “Long time no see.”. Though it is sort of informal, it is part of the language that Americans use daily. Interestingly, if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word, the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.
Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence. Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies. In the 1930s, Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a worldwide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens. Detective Chan liked to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius. “Long time no see.” was his symbol. Soon after Charlie Chan, “Long time no see.” became a popular expression in America thanks to the popularity of these movies.
Some scholars compare America to a huge melting pot. All kinds of cultures are mixed in the pot together, and they change the colour and taste of each other. Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed pot.
You can have some examples from other countries, such as pizza from Italian, sushi from Japanese, and déjà vu from French etc. There is a long list! Since Americans admire Chinese culture more and more nowadays, I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future. In this way, the American’s melting pot keeps adding richness and flavour.
28. What did the writer himself feel surprised at?
A. The Chinglish expression “Long time no see.”.
B. Finding out Americans use the expression every day.
C. So many literal translations of the expressions used in America.
D. “Long time no see.” is used as a standard American English greeting.
29. What do the underlined words “melting pot” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. A container for storage. B. Culture mixture.
C. A kind of cooked dish. D. American changing cultures.
30. According to the passage, what can be inferred?
A. Detectives translated the phrase “Long time no see.”.
B. Cultures cannot be changed in the huge melting pot.
C. The huge melting pot greatly affects all kinds of languages.
D. Hollywood made “Long time no see.” popular.
31. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Some Chinese expressions are introduced into English.
B. The phrase “Long time no see.” is widely accepted in America.
C. Some American expressions can be used in China.
D. American English keeps being enriched by different cultures.

Shared e-scooters (电动滑板车) are becoming common across Australia. While they may offer a low-carbon option for tourism, do they benefit tourist cities? Our research team at Griffith University’s Cities Research Institute partnered with Neuron Mobility to conduct a survey of Townsville tourists between 2020 and 2021.
We analyzed the visiting e-scooter users’ travel and spending behaviors. Though their e-scooter hire costs were identical (一样的) , the visitors who rode the e-scooters the most spent most money in Townsville.
The active e-scooter users completed average 11 e-scooter trips, covering nearly 26 kilometers each while in Townsville. Many of these trips would have been completed by walking if e-scooters were unavailable. But they would have taken longer to complete each trip on foot, thus limiting the total number of destinations visited. Some other trips wouldn’t have occurred at all. One user commented, “We enjoyed being able to travel to areas that we would not normally have been to or were too far to walk in a reasonable amount of time.”
Many of these users said they did not need to use a car thanks to the e-scooters. This meant they were able to travel along the streets in Townsville without being trapped in the already busy roadways.
Across all the e-scooter users surveyed, most had never ridden an e-scooter before, but 91 percent reported they could ride it easily. Confirming the positive effect of e-scooters on both city image and visitor experience, 93 percent said they enjoyed travelling within Townsville. Besides, of all the visitors, active users spent more money on restaurants and cafes than the conditions without using e-scooters. Light users also spent a greater amount of money, mainly on shopping and services.
Henry, an e-scooter user said, “The weekly pass was extremely cost-effective. I highly recommend it and I will use e-scooters again. ” In fact, tourist cities like Townsville that adopt e-scooter sharing are promoting their image and tourism economy.
32. What will happen to the place where e-scooters are available?
A. Visitors can visit more attractions.
B. No trips will be finished on foot.
C. Visitors will be charged less money.
D. It will take visitors longer to get around.
33. What can be known about travelling in Townsville by car?
A. Cars will make tourists miss some views.
B. Visitors will be easily stuck in traffic jams.
C. Cars will take visitors to many places of interest.
D. Visitors will feel relaxed and comfortable to travel.
34. Why does the author mention the expenses of the visitors?
A. To confirm e-scooters are easy to handle.
B. To describe tourists’ experiences in Townsville.
C. To show e-scooters help promote local economy.
D. To compare spending ways between active and light users.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Tourism Booms in Townsville Thanks to E-scooters.
B. Townsville Encourages Its People to Use E-scooters.
C. Tourists Benefit from Local Traditional Transportation.
D. E-scooters Are Becoming the Main Means of Transportation.
