Chinese netizens who like to create and use cyber words such as "geilivable" might find a new regulation very "ungeilivable"．The new regulation by the General Administration of Press and Publication last week banned the use of Chinglish words created by netizens for publishing in the Chinese language．
"Geilivable", combining the pinyin geili （giving strength） with the English suffix （后綴） for adjectives, literally means "giving power" or "cool"．Different suffixes and prefixes were then added to the word．"Hengeilivable" means "very cool", and "ungeilivable" means "dull, not cool at all"．
Cyber language is popular among Chinese netizens, who create Chinglish words to reflect phenomenon in society．One example is "antizen", which refers to college graduates who earn a meager salary and live in small rented apartments, like tiny and laborious ants．
David Tool, a professor with the Beijing International Studies University, said it's very interesting to combine Chinese with English to create new words．"English is no longer mysterious to the Chinese people．They can use the language in a flexible way according to their own experiences," Tool said．
At the announcement of the regulation by the General Administration of Press and Publication, netizens expressed their concern．
"The administration is totally 'ungeilivable'," said a netizen named laoda1713．"I know other netizens will shed tears with me．．．it is a good chance to enrich our language"．
"Language is always developing," said a columnist, Wang Pei．"It needs to be updated to absorb foreign culture and folk wisdom．"
But an unnamed official with the administration said that, in fact, many senior staff from news media who supported the regulation were worried that years later, the younger generation would forget how to use formal Chinese expressions．The official also pointed out that the regulation was only for formal publications in Chinese language, and it only banned Chinglish words in the publication．
71．The new regulation by the General Administration of Press and Publication may be aimed at
．
A．simplifying the Chinese language B．limiting the development of language
C．banning the use of Chinglish D．making the netizens more serious
72．The underlined word meager in the third paragraph probably means
．
A．poor B．flexible C．high D．plentiful
73．From this passage we can infer that
．
A．the Chinese people like their own language only
B．the English words are considered informal in China
C．nobody in China will support the new regulation
D．"geilivable" will be popular among Chinese netizens
74．Which may be the title of this passage?
A．New regulation is announced B．Cyber words make language lively
C．Different views about cyber language D．New phenomenon in China
75．On which column of China Daily can you find this passage?
A．Entertainment B．Business C．Travel D．Opinion1分，滿分20分）
The three youths leaned over the metal rails along the sea-wall and watched a few fishermen pull in their nets. About thirty metres away, a boat pulled alongside the slippery steps leading
36
to the sea.
“Hey, look!” exclaimed Rahim. “Those two men are
37
heavy rocks. I thought we no longer do muscle labour in this technological
38
. ”
“They are
41
laborers who know how to spread the weight of the rocks they
42
. See how the man positions the rock just at the slope of his
43
. Some of the rock’s weight is set
44
his head, some on the right hand and some on the left hand. His body isn’t bent. His legs are well
45
. ”
“You’re right, Josh. He may have a small build.
46
he certainly well knows his job. Dear me! And to think we have been studying
47
! ” Rahim thought about all that was happening. Suddenly, he said, “Technology won’t
48
the human being completely, it appears.”
“I don’t think it will. ”
49
Joshua. “You can harvest a crop of potatoes or wheat with one of those large, multi-purpose tractors, but you
50
use that equipment to harvest lea leaves and tomatoes, will you?”
“You can get a computer to
51
multiple-choice assessments, but you cannot get the computer to produce of assess essays, can you?” asked Michael.
“Well, the washing machine leaves my shirt collar quite as
52
as ever --- that’s domestic technology for you! ” said Rahim.
“One day, perhaps, there won’t be anybody
53
who can carry a large rock the way those men do. It’s not going to be a very
54
world, I’m afraid.” Sighed Michael.
“You’re too much of a pessimist (悲觀主義者)，Mike.” Said Joshua. “
55
will always be other things that will make the world exciting. ”

閱讀短文，根據所讀內容在表格空格處填上適當的單詞或短語，每空不超過3個單詞。Happy birthday! Do birthday really make people happy? Of course they do．Birthday celebrate the day when we were born．Besides, that extra candle on the cake suggest another year of growth and maturity（成熟）—or so we hope．We all like to imagine that we are getting wiser and not just older．Most of us enjoy seeing the wonder of growth in others, as well．For instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud．For Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process．But growing old? That is a different story．
Growing old is not exactly for people in youth-oriented（以年輕人為中心）American culture．Most Americans like to look young, act young and feel young．As the old saying goes, “You’re young as you feel．” Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old．People in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom．But Americans seem to favor those that are young, or at least “young at heart”．
Many older Americans find the “golden years” to be anything but golden．Economically, “senior citizens” often struggle just to get by．Retirement at the age of 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal income．Social security benefits usually cannot make up the difference．Older people may suffer from poor nutrition, medical care, and housing．Some even experience age discrimination（歧視）．American sociologist Pat Moore once dressed up like an older person and wandered city streets．She was often treated rudely--even cheated and robbed．However, dressed as a young person, she received much more respect．
Unfortunately, the elderly population in America is increasing fast．Why? People are living longer．Fewer babies are being born．And middle-aged “baby boomers” are rapidly entering the group of the elderly．America may soon be a place where wrinkles（皺紋）are “in”．Marketing experts are ready noticing this growing group of consumer．
