Shanghai Daily reports that “anchors at China Central Television CCTV have been banned from saying the English acronyms NBA, CBA, GDP, and the like in their programs.”The replacement for those handy acronyms? Chinese presenters must use the full Chinese name, standardized by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.Although CCTV (oops, we mean China Central Television)presenters must already have a score of at least 94 in their government-rated oral Mandarin proficiency exam, saying the full name of organizations like the CBA or WTO 10 and 6 characters long separately is sure to challenge even the most skillful anchors. CCTV sports anchor Sun Zhengping tells Shanghai Daily, “A full Chinese explanation of the English initials must be followed if my tongue slips. It is a little trouble but a necessary one because not every audience member can understand the initials.”Although the government isnt giving any official explanation for the shift, it is believed to have to do with a proposal by Huang Youyi, director of the China International Publishing Group, at Marchs NPC meeting. In his speech, Huang said, “With more and more publications mixing Chinese with English, measures and regulations should be adopted to avoid English invading Chinese. If we dont pay attention and dont take measures to stop the expansion of mixing Chinese with English, Chinese wont be a pure language in a couple of years.”Although China is far from the first country to take measures to protect local languages (the French and Qubcois beat them to it by a long way), acronyms are more about saving time than they are about corrupting a language, we would think. Good luck to the CCTV anchors.56. CCTV anchors have to “do some fast talking” because they can no longer _.A. speak as slowly as they likeB. mix English into ChineseC. use shortened Chinese expressionsD. have so much time for their program57. According the writer, “CBA” is supposed to be replaced with “_” by CCTV anchors.A. 中國(guó)男子籃球甲級(jí)聯(lián)賽B. 中國(guó)籃球協(xié)會(huì)全國(guó)男女籃球職業(yè)聯(lián)賽C. 中國(guó)籃球聯(lián)賽D. The Chinese Basketball Association58. When Sun Zhengping said “if my tongue slips”, he meant “if I _”.A. habitually use an English acronymB. speak a little bit too fastC. make a mistake in pronunciationD. say something impolite or improper59. Whats Huang Youyis proposal?A. Using full English names instead of short forms.B. Translating Chinese terms into proper English.C. Avoiding Chinese words mixing into English.D. Keeping our mother tongue as a pure language.60. Whats the main idea of the last paragraph？A. China has fallen behind in the matter.B. The ban is not necessary.C. Chinese shouldnt be corrupted. D. CCTV anchors will have a hard time.56-60 BAADB生活類（2020;2020威海二模）BIt looks exactly like other handicraft (手工藝品) shops in a traditional Chinese hutong, or alley, except that each item has a story. The citys first-of-its-kind charity shop, owned by Nathan Zhang, sells Chinese handicrafts along with used books, clothes and other items. The concept is that money from what is sold is donated to help rural (農(nóng)村的) women in China.“Many NGOs (non-governmental organizations) produce their own things but dont have a place to sell it,” said Zhang, who returned to Beijing in 2020;2020 after working in Canada for nearly a decade in the telecommunications world. “A rural womens group tried to open a little shop but only sold two things. When they put their products in my shop, everything sold out.”Located in Wudaoying Hutong in Dongcheng district, Brand Nus walls are lined with handicrafts from a number of different NGO supported projects aimed at benefiting women across the country. The other half of the space is filled with almost brand-new clothes that have been donated from Beijing citizens. The jackets, dresses, tops and pants sell for around 30 yuan ($4.40) each.Most of the money Brand Nu gets goes directly to the Beijing Cultural Development Center for Rural Women. The NGO offers a number of programs for poor women, including literacy classes (識(shí)字班), support networks and mental health education.Zhang is also working with a local Scottish designer to create a clothing line made from the fabric (織物) of second-hand garments. And he is collecting books and raising money to help the NGO build a library near Beijing. He plans on expanding his product line soon as well, engaging more disadvantaged women to make sweaters, soaps and other items that he can sell in Beijing to help raise their socioeconomic status in the countryside.Yet with ambitions come worries. Right now Zhang is operating on a shoestring budget and looking for work on the side to support both his business and his family. “I wanted to do something meaningful,” said Zhang. “If you can help one woman, you can help an entire family.”61. The name of the charity shop is _.A. Nathan Zhang B. NGOC. Wudaoyin Hutong D. Brand Nu62. The owner of the charity shop _.A. is a returned o
