Street Ping Pong— Ping!
Do you like
table tennis? If you had travelled to cities in the UK like London or Birmingham
last summer, you might have seen one of the dozens of free tablesthat were there as part of a
project (项目) called Ping!.
What is Ping!?21世纪370266629网
Ping!is a three-year table tennis project.
It has been running since 2010 and this year, 2012, is the final year. The idea
is to put free table tennis tables in eight different towns in the UK for four
weeks during the summer. Each table comes with its own bats and balls and is
free to play. You can find the tables outdoors.
What does
Ping! hope to achieve?
It would be great if Ping!helped find a
new Olympic table tennis star but what Ping!really hopes. to achieve is just to get people playing and having fun
together."Putting a ping pong table on the street gives people a chance to
connect with other people," said MeeraSodha, Ping! Project Manager.
One of the towns that took part in the project was Hull,
a city in England. Forty-five tables were put into the city. JakobAdamski, an
ESOL student learning.English, said, "I really enjoyed playing table
tennis in the park. It was alsoagood way for me to practise my English and meet
people."
50 When did the Ping! project start?
A. Last summer.
B. Last winter.
C. In 2010.
D. In 2012.
51. What's the Ping!project?

C. Teaching people how to .play table tennis.
D. Putting free table tennis tables in some towns.21世纪370266629网

The right
name is important in the business world. All you have to do is think of the
names for some of the products you buy every day and you’ll agree that the name and the product are connected in the everyone’s mind.
In many
countries, successful trade or brand names are protected by law. This is so
that other companies cannot make a product and, in fact, be buying something different.
Businesses register a company or a product name with the government. In fact,
more than 1,000 product and company names are registered every hour. Many
companies spend a lot of money to find the right name for their products. A
good example of this is. In the car industry. Some successful names for cars
have powerful associations (联系).The Ford Mustang and the Jaguar
are only two examples of choosing the names of animals that are fast and
strong.
When a U. S
company decides to sell its product in another country, it has to make sure
that the product name translates properly. When Coca-Cola introduced its soft
drink to China, it looked for the right name. It wanted a name that would do
two things. One was to present its image(形象)in Chinese and
the second was to be close to its first brand name—Coke.
It took some efforts before finding the right word —which
sounds similar and translates as “happiness in the
mouth”. Asian company names are not new to the United
States. The brand names of Samsung and Sony have been successful. Finding the
right brand name is a big business. Asian companies that sell to foreign
markets pay to find a name that will connect with its customers. There are even
naming companies that specialize in inventing product names. These companies
can charge (要价)up to $100,000 a word for their
creations. But it’s worth it. Successful companies know
how important the right brand names are for their development.
53. Why are trade names protected by law in many
countries?
A. To make companies pay for naming service.
B. To help people choose the best products
C. To present good images of the products.
D. To prevent good images from being copied
54. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Many companies care about the cost of finding the
right names
B. Creative trade names can help companies to have a
larger sale
C. The government often does business with naming
companies
D. It is considered necessary for cars to be names after
animals
55. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. The Business of Names
B. The Development of Names
C. The Rules of Naming Business
D. The Methods of Choosing Names
D
Reading
Oliver James'Affluenza,I thought
about what often happens at home.My 12-year-ole daughter is in tears."I
have so take a test tomorrow.I don't understand any of it,"she cries
out.After shouting and shutting her door,she calms down enough to go through
her notes.The following dry I ask her how the test went and the just
says"OK,I got a nine".
"Wow.well
done!"I say,before she finishes with "But I never get
a ten!"
According to James,this obsession with getting top marks has been a bad
development,which encourages people to think of education in terms of work and
money.To test this,I asked my daughter why she was so worried about her
tests.She looked at me as if I was thick."Well,if I don't get good
grades,I won't be able to afford nice things like a car and stuff."
I was quite
surprised,because I don't consider myself a pushy parent.But James suggests and
it leaves students feeling failures even if they are very bright.He points to
the Danish system(体制)of education as a better model.Creating
happy citizens who have good social skills is seen as more important than high
achievements at school or the needs of business.
For me,I
cannot remember the last time I had to work out the area of a circle,recite a
Shakespeare poem or grammar rules,yet I have lived a happy life.What I really
needed to learn at school was how to make polite conversations,or how to avoid getting into debt or how to develop
good personality.
This is in
fact similar to what Oliver James really has in mind.And he
is looking for schools where students are encouraged to find and follow their
own interests,something more like Tongjon.Tongjon has been developed in some
Korean private schools.It is quite different from the more rigid system of
learning things by heart that is used in Korea,and indeed in many other school
systems around the world.
As the
Russian poet Pushkin said,"Inspiration(灵感)is needed in
geometry(几何学)just as much as in poetry ",and
inspiration does not come from endlessly revising for tests or getting worried
about them .
56.What does the writer probably think of his/her
daughter?
A.She sets herself a goal too high to reach.
B.She should be more polite to her parents.
C.Sheis hard-working but not very bright.
D.She takes her grades much too seriously.
57.What does the word "obsession"in paragraph 3 mean?
A.A plain and unavoidable fact.
B.A satisfied and very proud state.
C.A practical and widely-used way.
D.A fixed and often unreasonable idea.
58.What can we infer from the passage?
A.Social skills are as important as high grades.
B.Interest in grades can shake self-confidence.
C.The writer regrets not having studied hard at school.
D. Danish educational system is for very smart students.
59.The writer wants to tell us that____.
A.learning happily is the key to self-development.
B. top marks may be helpful to increase one's interest.
C. tests should be improved to give children
inspiration.
D.education should meet one's needs for word and money.

One possible version
I had an experience
of sharing. When my family moved, I had to go to a new school and study in a
new class. The first test made me so nervous that I failed. I got worried and
felt helpless until one of my new classmates came up to me and asked softly if
I was OK. After I told him about my problem, he gave me some advice. From then
on, we got to know each other and shared our ideas ,problems, and happiness. We
became good friends. Sharing with friends helped me bring back my confidence
and fit in with others.
