Pinyin, a system that uses the Latin letters, tells us how to pronounce Chinese characters.What you learned in your first Chinese class in primary school was probably pinyin.The year 2018 marks pinyin's sixtieth birthday.

In 1958, Chinese linguist(语言学家) Zhou Youguang and his team designed pinyin.Before that, Chinese people used many other methods to

denote( 标注) the pronunciation of Chinese characters.In ancient China,

people denoted Chinese characters using other Chinese characters that had the same pronunciation.Some of the symbols are Chinese character

strokes(笔画)．For example, a vertical stroke(一竖) pronounced as “i” in

pinyin.Some people in Taiwan still use this method.However, these methods are not as simple as pinyin.Because of pinyin, many illiterate( 不识字的) people have learned how to read.We use pinyin to type Chinese characters into computers and phones.Pinyin has been useful in other ways, too.It helps to promote the use of Standard Chinese, or Mandarin, so people who speak different dialects(方言) can still understand each other.

Pinyin is not only popular in China.Many people around the world start to learn Chinese by learning pinyin.You might say “nihao” instead of “hello” to a foreign friend.The Oxford English Dictionary (《牛津英语词典》) includes more than 100 Chinese words in pinyin, such a s zhongguomeng for “Chinese dream” ，and wanggou for “online shopping ”．

Pinyin is not only a language tool, but also a cultural bridge that connects China to the world, Guangming Daily noted.Pinyin is still young.But it has been and will still be a useful tool in the future.

( )6.The underlined word “promote” in the second paragraph may mean “

” in the passage.

A．解释B．改善

C．表达D．介绍

( )7.Paragraph 2 mainly tells us about .

A．the history of pinyin B．the designers of pinyin

.

A．pinyin is popular only in China B．pinyin is

popular all over the world C．pinyin will not be

used in the future D．English will be replaced(代替

) by pinyin

( )9.We can learn from the passage .

A．pinyin has been used since ancient China B．

people in Taiwan prefer to use pinyin C．pinyin is

Do you know what smart phones can do for us? We can make phone calls，take photos，call a Didi Taxi，send short messages or e-mails，check e-mails，surf the Internet and watch videos almost anywhere. Especially，smartphone shopping has become more and more popular in our life

because people can buy almost everything they need there. You are wondering how to shop on smartphones? Let me show you. If you live in the central part of the city, and you need to buy some fresh grapes from the east of the city, you can use your smartphone. To start with，all you need to do is download a shopping app( 应用程序)and find a suitable store you like.

Shopping on the smartphone has a lot of advantages，of which the most important is perhaps its convenience. People don't have to waste a

lot of energy and time to go from one shop to another to choose things they like. This is especially good for the old，the sick and the busy people who cannot go to the shops by themselves.

However，shopping on the smartphone also has its disadvantages. The first disadvantage is that people can't see the goods or try them on by themselves. Sometimes，the real goods may not be the same as what they

have seen on the smartphone. The second disadvantage is that some shops on the Internet are not registered( 登记的). They will never deliver( 递送)anything to you after they get the money from you. Once you are cheated，you will find that you have nowhere to go to complain(投诉).

Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you, and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves? Although it might sound a little far from you, living in a “smart”city like this could happen sooner than you think.

Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a “tele-presence system(远程遥控系统)”allowing users to control the heating and locks, take part in video meetings, and receive

education, health care and government services. Around the city, escalators ( 自动扶梯) will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system.

The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business.

“About 75% of the world’s population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems. Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener, ”said Dan Hill, head of a research company.
