18、 this kind of cellphone message: Come and ride our bike for free! These messages are part of the battle between bike-sharing companies Ofo and Mobike. Both of the companies are trying to attract more users and the competition is still going on.Since the introduction of Mobike in Shanghai last April,
19、 China has seen a trend (潮流) of riding shared bikes to schools, workplaces or to go sightseeing. However, this boom across the country also caused many problems such as illegal (违规) parking, vandalism (故意破坏) and stealing.For example, in the East Lake scenic area of Wuhan last month, many shared bike
20、s were thrown into a ditch (沟) full of rubbish. Most of the bikes were damaged.26. Where can you possibly find this passage? A. In a story book. B. In an instruction book. C. In a newspaper. D. In an advertisement. 27. Whats the main idea of the book?A. There are two bike-sharing companies fighting
21、each other. B. More and more people like to go out by sharing-bike. C. The sharing-bike market has many problems. D. Its impossible for people to take care of sharing-bikes as their own ones. BAirbnb, the American apartment rental (租赁) company, released its Chinese name last month. It is “Aibiying (
22、爱彼迎)”, meaning “to welcome each other with love”. The name has been met with laughter in China, although it means something good. The Chinese name is just hard to pronounce and sounds strange!Its not easy for companies to come up with a good brand (品牌) name. But its even more difficult to translate
23、it into Chinese. “Foreign companies have to understand there is meaning in Chinese characters. Its not like English where you can take letters and mix them together to make different sounds,” Tait Lawton from Nanjing Marketing Group told CNN. “The wrong name will just give the wrong impression.”But
24、some brands have done great jobs. Coca-Cola is a good example. Its Chinese name “kekou kele (可口可乐) ” means “delicious fun” and stays true to the original English. On top of that, part of the name sounds like the Chinese word for “thirsty”.British bank HSBC also came up with a clever one, “hui feng (
25、汇丰)”, which suggests (暗示) “profitable (利益丰厚的) business exchanges”. A direct translation for HSBC, Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, wouldnt have worked in China. It sounds like every other local bank, instead of a global big company, according to Vladimir Djurovic from Labbrand, a company
26、that helps brand foreign companies in China. “There is no absolute (绝对的) rule (when choosing a good Chinese name). The right name will always depend on a couple of things,” he said.28. People dont like the Chinese name of Aibiying because _.a. it doesnt have a good meaningb. its difficult to pronoun
27、cec. it sounds stranged. it doesnt follow translation rulesA. ab B. bc C. cd D. ad 29. What does Tait Lawton tell us?A. Chinese is the most difficult language to learn.B. Foreign companies know little about Chinese characters.C. The wrong name will bring bad luck to the company.D. Differences betwee
28、n languages make the translation hard.30. Why does the writer think HSBCs Chinese name “hui feng” is a good one?A. Because it expresses the meaning of the original English.B. Because it sounds like its English pronunciation.C. Because it sounds like a big local bank.D. Because it has a good meaning.
29、CA new bus in Singapore is making headlines (成为新闻热点) for a strange reason. It is what is written on the signs inside the bus that has people talking. The signs are written in Singlish!Quite different from the English we are familiar with, the signs read, for example, “Here cannot go in” instead of “
30、You cannot go in from here”, and “Here can charge (给充电) phone” instead of “You can charge your phone here”.English is one of the official languages in Singapore. But the English Singaporeans use in their daily lives is far from standard English and earns it the name “Singlish”. In Singapore, migrant
31、s (移民) from many countries, including China, India and Malaysia, all speak their own versions (版本) of “English”. The New York Times calls Singlish a “patchwork (拼凑品)”.For example, in Singlish you can easily find influences from Chinese. Singaporeans use Chinese sentence structures like “Toilet where?” instead of “Where is the toilet?”. They also add words like “leh” and “meh” at the end of a sentence to show their mood (情绪). This comes from Cantonese.Though it may seem interesting, S
