第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

A

Dear Manic:

I am a 30-year-old woman with no friends. I have always been shy and a bit lonely. In the first two years after graduation, I kept in touch with most of my friends, but slowly they went away. My best friend and I were roommates for a while but we didn’t get on well with each other for a period of time because of some reasons. We both admitted that we had made mistakes about it. But then she grew very close to her new roommate after I moved out. Then she moved across the country and that just made it harder to truly repair our friendship.

About seven years ago, I was injured and never healed（愈合）properly. I now have great pain and have to change jobs as a result. I get along with the people at my new job but no friendships really work, mostly because of large age differences. Meanwhile, the people from my old job kind of rejected me. I was friendly to some of them, but they said that I left them alone and never gave them enough attention.

I live in a small town with very little to do. The entire social scene is made up of only bars. It’s really not my thing. I can’t drink because of the medicine I take for my illness. And it’s really no fun to go to a bar and be the only person there who doesn’t drink.

I don’t think I’m a hard person. I’m kind, considerate（体贴的）and patient. People seem to really like me, but no one seems to want to be friends with me. I’m really looking forward to advice about how I can go through that.

Signed, Erica 21. What is the problem with Erica?

Change is natural part of language development．The words you like to use are probably a little different from those that your grandparents used when they were young．A study carried out by a British company found that the use of e-mail has had a bad influence on the standard of written English．

According to the research，computer users today are too busy to hit the ―shift‖ buttons on their keyboards——e-mails are often written in lower case，that is to say, with no capital letters for names or the beginning of sentences. Spelling mistakes are generally accepted even in formal e-mails．And nouns are often used as verbs (e.g. Please bookmark this site. )

With the development of the Internet，e-mail and mobile phone messages，a new language has developed within just a few years—we call it Weblish．The latest oxford English Dictionary has included many new words showing the changes in our communication culture.

While some language experts are concerned about the future of English and want to do something，John Simpson，chief editor of the dictionary says，―The standards may be different now but it has certainly encouraged writing and communication，which means a faster development of language change．There are a large number of words that either come from the Internet or have been given new meanings by the Internet．‖ 25．All the following changes can be accepted in e-mail writing except ． A．no capital letters B．spelling mistakes C．nouns being used as verbs D．no verbs in a sentence 26．The second paragraph mainly tells ． A．the mistakes found in English e-mails. B．the side effects of the use of e-mails C．the changes in English used in e-mails. D．the reason why people use e-mail.

27．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Spelling mistakes are not allowed in today’s e-mails.

B．The Internet develops new words as well as new meanings to some old words. C．Weblish is only used in e-mails.

D．We cannot find Weblish in a dictionary at present.

28．According to the passage，John Simpson probably agrees that ． A．the Internet has brought great changes to English. B．mistakes in e-mail are very important to English. C．everyone should learn to write e-mails in Weblish. D．the use of e-mail stops the development of language.
