单选题Before long China began a campaign to get rid of "Chinglish" (Chinese mixed with English). It was decided that Chinglish was a grave illness for China's development and should be obliterated. In nearly every part of China, people at home and abroad can see some ridiculous road signs in so-called English. Disappointingly, the language in fact is Chinglish. Yuan Shixi, a Beijing official taking charge of the campaign, said several months ago "Linguistic (语言) perfection is of more importance with the number of the foreigners rising. " Not everyone, however, has the scorn (蔑视) of the Beijing government for Chinglish. "One can choose whatever words as long as they can express the exact meaning," explained by a British linguist in an interview. There exist so many Chinglish examples in the current world that many websites have been established to collect the related phrases, many of which are from English instructions on packages. Once the campaign against Chinglish is successful, the Chinese people will switch their attention to English-language versions of newspapers and magazines immediately, which are playing an even more important part in teaching right English. Let's just wait and see.

单选题Prime Minister Tony Blair and David Beckham were leading a last-minute charm offensive to secure the 2012 Olympics for London — as a new row flared with leading rival Paris. Mr Blair hailed the capital's "brilliant" bid to host the games and said the event would provide a "wonderful legacy" for British sport. He was addressing a reception at the High Commissioner's residence in Singapore, attended by a glittering array of sporting stars led by David and Victoria Beckham. Mr Blair, speaking alongside Lord Coe and his bid team, told guests: "We are very proud of our country and we feel we can make the Olympic movement proud of this bid as well." Dignitaries at the event included the Princess Royal, Sir Steve Redgrave, Daley Thompson, Jonathan Edwards, Sir Matthew Pinsent, Denise Lewis, David Hemery. Tanni Grey-Thompson and Sir Bobby Charlton. French officials were earlier angered by critical comments about the centrepiece Paris stadium— the Stade de France — made by two Australian consultants to the London bid. Jim Sloman, the former chief operating officer of the Sydney Games, and architect Rod Sheard, had claimed at a press conference that the arena was not ideal for athletics, prompting anger from the Paris bid team. Though the French team decided not to make an official complaint, relations have been further strained following comments said to have been made by French President Jacques Chirac. Speaking ahead of the G8 conference in Scotland, the politician reportedly told German and Russian leaders that all Britain has ever done for European agriculture is "mad cow". He is also quoted as telling diplomats: "We can't trust people who have such bad food." Mr Blair, who is due to head off to the G8 summit in Scotland before Wednesday's International Olympic Committee vote, refused to trade barbs with French president Jacques Chirac.

单选题Automation refers to the introduction of electronic control and automatic operation of productive machinery. It reduces the human factors, mental and physical, in production, and is designed to make possible the manufacture of more goods with fewer workers. The development of automation in American industry has been called the "Second Industrial Revolution." Labor's concern over automation arises from uncertainty about its effects on employment, and fears of major changes in jobs. In the main, labor has taken the view that resistance to technological change is futile. In the long run, the result of automation may well be an increase in employment, since it is expected that vast industries will grow up around manufacturing, maintaining, and repairing automation equipment. Unquestionably, however, there will be major shifts in jobs within plants and displacement of labor from one industry to another. The interest of labor lies in bringing about this transition with a minimum of inconvenience and distress to the workers involved. Also, union spokesmen emphasize that the benefit of the increased production and lower costs made possible by automation should be shared by workers in the form of higher wages, more leisure, and improved living standards. To protect the interests of their members in the era of automation, unions have adopted a number of new policies. One of these is the promotion of supplementary unemployment benefits plans. It is emphasized that since the employer involved in a SUB plan has a direct financial stake in preventing unemployment, he will have a strong incentive for planning new installations so as to cause the least possible disruption in jobs and job assignments. Some unions are working for dismissal pay agreements, requiring that permanently laid off workers be paid a sum of money based on length of service. Another approach is the idea of the "improvement factor," which calls for wage increase based on increases in productivity. It is probable, however, that labor will rely mainly on reduction in working hours in order to gain a full share in the fruits of automation.

单选题The burning of coal is very wasteful of energy. This can be realized when we remember that one pound to coal burned in the furnace of a power station (26) raise enough team to drive a generator (27) will produce enough current to light a one barelectric fire for three hours. On the other hand, if all the energy in the atoms of a pound of coal could be released, (28) should be enough energy to (29) all the machinery in all the factories in Britain for a month. In simpler words, all this means that one pound of any element or compound of element, if completely converted (30) energy by breaking up the atoms, would (31) the same amount of heat (32) the burning of 1,500,000 tons of coal. Scientists have calculated that if a bucket of sand from the beach could be completely (33) into energy, and if the energy so obtained was used to drive electric generators, enough (34) would be produced to supply the whole of Europe for five years. (35) other words, a bucket of sand contains enough energy to (36) a thousand million pounds' worth of electricity. Albert Einstein was the first man to realize the vast (37) of energy locked in the atom. Einstein was also the first to show in theory how the energy of the atom might be released. Indeed without Einstein's theory (38) was the result of many complicated mathematical calculations, there would never have been any practical (39) of nuclear power. In 1905, which was many years before other scientists really understood a great deal about atomic energy, Einstein declared that if you "destroyed" a given mass of matter, you would obtain (40) its place an enormous amount of energy. (41) support this theory, Einstein worked (42) what is probably the most important equation in the history of mathematics. It was (43) no means a complicated equation, but in fact a very simple (44) . Here it is: E=MC2. Turned into simple language, Einstein's equation means that energy(E) is equal (45) mass(M) multiplied by the speed of light(C) squared(C2).
