When the Spring Equinox comes, the time of the day is the same as the time of the night. Here are things you may not know about the Spring Equinox. Eating spring vegetables: Eating spring vegetables during the Spring Equinox is a custom in China. “Spring vegetables” refers to seasonal vegetables that differ from place to place. The ancient teachings in the Chinese classic, Huangdi Neijing, suggests that people eat seasonal foods to help keep healthy and bring good luck. Swallows fly north: The ancient Chinese people divided the fifteen days of the Spring Equinox into three “hou’s,” or five-day parts. As the Chinese old saying goes, swallows fly back to the North in the first hou; thunder cracks the sky in the second hou; lightning occurs frequently in the third hou. Egg-standing games: Standing an egg upright is a popular game across the country during the Spring Equinox. It is an old custom that dates back to 4,000 years ago. People practice this tradition to celebrate the coming of spring. It is believed that if someone can make the egg stand, he will have good luck in the future. Flying kites: Spring Equinox is a good time to fly kites. In ancient times, people did not have good medical resources. So to pray for health, they wrote their illness on paper kite. When the kite was in the air, people would cut off the string to let the paper kite fly away. Later flying kites developed into a popular game of spring. On the Spring Equinox, people write a blessing on the kite, hoping that the gods in the sky would see it. Reward farm cattle: This practice is popular. In the southern area of the Yangtze River.

The Harris Academy in Upper Norwood (London) is one school that’s taking action. Students there aren’t allowed to use words such as coz (because), ain’t (isn’t/aren’t, etc.) and yeah (yes) when they’re speaking. A letter has been sent to parents explaining the decision, according to an article in the Daily Mail. But why? “The big problem is that many of these words are appearing in written work,” explained Mr. Hank, an English teacher. “This puts many children at a disadvantage. We do want them to be able to communicate properly with people and be understood. We are going to teach them the rules. If they decide not to use these rules with friends, that is fine. But I want them to know that when writing and speaking in a formal (正式的) situation, they should use Standard English.” So, what’s causing the problem? Firstly, slang is just about everywhere these days: in TV soaps, reality shows, songs and films. Secondly, with more and more people using it in conversations with friends and workmates, it’s becoming more acceptable. Also, the increase in the use of mobile phones and social networking sites is having an influence—while texting, people often use abbreviations or phonetic forms of words, such as wot (what), dat (that), dis (this), n (and), w (with), gonna (going to) and wanna (want to). However, many people think that the effort to control languages doesn’t make sense. “The very nature of English is its flexibility (灵活性),” said a Jamaican poet in a recent interview. “You can’t control the type of language that people use,” he added. “The reason why English is such a popular language is because it develops well to fit the way it is being used,” a language expert explained. Is the “war” on slang worth fighting? ( )52．How does the writer show that slang is not allowed in some schools? A．By telling a story. B．By using a saying. C．By giving an example. D．By describing a picture. ( )53．How many reasons for people to use slang are mentioned? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five. ( )54．What can we infer from the Jamaican poet’s words in Paragraph 5? A．Any language has its own rules. B．English is the most popular language. C．It’s acceptable for people to use slang. D．The effort to control slang is really meaningful. ( )55．Which is the best title for this passage? A．Slang matters, doesn’t it? B．Is slang learning necessary at school? C．How to teach slang at school? D．Slang or not slang at school? 第二节请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处 There are some things that we don’t often think about, like walking, because there really is no need to. There are other things we don’t often think about, like learning, but we should. __56__ However, many of us have no real idea what the best way to learn is. So a group of scientists in the USA interviewed some excellent students to find some answers. ___57___ Almost all students re-read（重读） when they are trying to learn new information.

But this doesn’t help much with learning. ___60___ It is much better to try and learn less at one time and study it a few days later. A. Here are their findings. B. All through our lives, we are learning new things. C. The answers are very helpful to improve your reading. D. It’s also not a good way to spend hours learning without stopping. E.
