Do you know that some words in English were taken from Chinese? They are most often from Cantonese, the language used by people from Guangdong Province. Word 1: typhoon
In English, a typhoon is a very powerful storm that happens around the China Sea. According to the Merriam-Webster New Book of Word Histories, the first typhoons reported in the English language were in India and were called “touffons” or “tufans”. They meant great storm or flood.
Later, when English ships met violent wind and rain in the China Sea, Englishmen learned the Cantonese word “tai-fung”, which means “great wind”. The modern form of the word “typhoon” was spelled in another way to make it like an English word. Word 2: ketchup
Most Americans would have a hard time believing that ketchup was not created right here in the USA.
Ketchup is America’s most popular sauce. But the story of ketchup began more than 500 years ago in South-east Asia. The word “ketchup” probably came from a Chinese word “ke-tsiap”. The word first met the English language in the late 17th century, when a British person in Indonesia found this sauce. Back in England, “ketchup” once included many types of sauces. Later, English people brought ketchup with them to the USA and put tomatoes in it until the mid-19th century.
28. The underlined word “violent” in Paragraph 4 means “ A. soft
B. strong
C. quiet
29. According to the passage, the word “ketchup” A. once meant many kinds of sauces B. was created right here in the USA C. had tomatoes in it when it was created

Many of us may have experienced the pleasant moment of seeing recommended songs after we listen to some songs on a music app. When we open shopping websites, we often see things we want to buy on the home page. The businessman can decide which is the best place to build a new entrance in a big supermarket in the city center. If you want to take a taxi on a taxi app, it can even guess where you want to go before you tell it! Aren’t these things amazing?
This is based on data (数据). Data is no longer only about numbers, but information from almost every side of our lives: our shopping habits, interests or what we eat. All of this is called “big data”. In December, 2017, President Xi Jinping called for China to speed up its big data strategy (战略) to better serve social and economic (经济的) development. As a result, people’s lives can be improved as well. He also asked for greater use of big data in areas like education, social security and transportation.
We have seen big data being used more often in China in the past few years. The role it plays in tourism (旅游业) is just one example. Many travelers today like to share their experiences with others on the Internet. All the data that travelers share online is helping the tourism industry get a lot of information. After the data is analyzed (分析), these tour sights can know about travelers’ needs better. In this way, services will be improved, which is helpful to the development of the whole industry. As a result, travelers can expect better tours in the future.
Moreover, big data is also an important growth tool for economic development. With growth rate of 30 percent every year, sales of big data industry in China will reach one trillion yuan yearly by 2020. Having so many good influences, big data is sure to be seen more and more in China.
