Most people generally 31 them and the job they do—although there are certain people who do not believe that the police have the 32 that they should. www.ks5u.com What does a policeman actually do?

A policeman often has to control traffic either on foot in the centre of a town, or in a police car on the roads. 35 , in Britain, he might be in the Traffic Police and spend all, or a lot of, his time 36 up and down main roads and motorways.

And they often have to 40 the situation at great risk to themselves and their own 41 . www.ks5u.com We expect the police to solve crimes, of course, so an ordinary policeman, 42 he is not a detective, will often have to help 43 and arrest criminals（罪犯）. 　　And 44 do we call when there is a dangerous situation—an air crash, a 45 , a road accident, or a robbery? We call the police. 46 a policeman has to be 47 to face any unexpected and dangerous situation that may happen in the 48 world.

However, the impact of the current financial turbulence “on our economy is much less than on the rest of the world”, he said. Nicholas Stern, a former UK government advisor, also told China Daily it will take at least one or two years for the world to recover from the recession, which is now spreading from the US and the UK to the rest of the world. “We don’t know how long the recession will last, but it is unlikely to be short,” he said. Liu said China can use the downturn（衰退）as an opportunity to restructure its economy, which has relied heavily on government investment, foreign trade and low-cost technology over the past years. “When the economy is experiencing fast growth, companies are unwilling to upgrade their technologies,” Liu said. “The slowdown gives such firms the opportunity to enhance（提高）their competitive edge through better technologies.” www.ks5u.com From China Daily 51. It can be inferred from Liu’s words that the impact of the current financial turbulence on China’s economy is ________ in the world. A. more B. less C. the most D. the least 52. The underlined word “extent” probably means ________. A. sense B. degree C. size D. depth 53. According to the passage, the reason why Liu said this downturn is an opportunity for China to restructure its economy is that ________. A. China’s economy will not depend on government investment in the future B. Foreign trade will grow in the future C. The downturn will force China’s companies to upgrade their technologies D. Low-cost technologies will not exist in China (B) www.ks5u.com We have two daughters: Kristen is seven years old and Kelly is four. Last Sunday evening, we invited some people home for dinner. I dressed them nicely for the party, and told them that their job was to join Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang. Mommy would introduce them to the guests, and then they would take the guests’ coats upstairs and put them on the bed in the second bedroom. The guests arrived. I introduced my two daughters to each of them. The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids. Each of the guests made a particular fuss over Kelly, the younger one, admiring her dress, her hair and her smile. They said she was a remarkable girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age. I thought to myself that we adults usually make a big “to do” over the younger one because she’s the one who seems more easily hurt. We do it with the best of intentions. But we seldom think of how it might affect the other child. I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being outshined. I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes. I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom, crying. I said, “What are you doing, my dear?” She turned to me with a sad expression and said, “Mommy, why don’t people like me the way they like my sister? Is it because I’m not pretty? Is that why they don’t say nice things about me as much?” www.ks5u.com I tried to explain to her, kissing and hugging her to make her feel better. Now, whenever I visit a friend’s home, I make it a point to speak to the elder child first. 54. The underlined expression ‘make a big “to do” over’ (paragraph 4) means ____. A. show much concern about B. have a special effect on C. list jobs to be done for D. do good things for 55. The guests praised Kelly for carrying coats upstairs because of her ____. A. young age B. lovely smile C. pretty clothes D. beautiful hair 56. Kristen felt sad and cried because ____. A. the guest gave her more coats to carry B. the guests praised her sister more than her C. her mother didn’t introduce her to the guests D. she didn’t look as pretty as Kelly 57. We can conclude from the passage that ____. A. parents should pay more attention to the elder children B. the younger children are usually more easily hurt C. people usually like the younger children more D. adults should treat children equally (C) www.ks5u.com “Long time no see” is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s email, I laughed. I thought it was a perfect example of Chinese. Obviously, it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greeting with a ruled English grammar and structure. Later on, after being told it’s a standard American greeting, I couldn’t believe at all. So I did a research on Google. To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages containing. It has been widely used in emails, letters, movies, newspapers or any other places. Though sort of informal, it is part of the language that American use daily. However, if you type this expression in Microsoft Word, it 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 famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens. Detective Chan likes to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius. “Long time no see” was his trademark. Soon after Charlie Chan, “Long time no see” became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these movies. www.ks5u.com Some scholars refer to America as a huge pot of stew（混杂物）. All kinds of culture are mixed and they change the color and taste of each other. American Chinese, though a minority ethnic group in the United States, is also contributing some changes to the stew! Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed stew. You can have some other examples than adoptions from Chinese, such as pizza from Italian, susi from Japanese. There is a long list! Americans dont just simply borrow something from others. They will modify it and make it their own, so you wouldn’t be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant. Since Americans appreciate
