language to learn in the 21st century. with the worlds largest population and a rapidly growing middle class, china stands to become the engine of the worlds economy in the coming years. this will make learning chinese very important for people in many industries, or for those of us who wish to visit china or learn from its culture and history.there is an ongoing effort to modernize the writing system and standardize the language. an increasing number of people learning chinese are learning mandarin, so unless you absolutely need to learn another dialect (such as cantonese), be sure you are studying mandarin.for native english speakers, chinese is one of the most difficult and most different languages to learn. the vocabulary is wholly unfamiliar and unlike anything we know. in addition, in the chinese tone system, words are spoken in rising or falling tones, which help to tell between them. furthermore, there is the chinese writing system a collection of thousands of individual ideograms (表意文字), or symbols, which stand for a word or an idea. these ideograms have no phonetic value that is to say, we cant tell how the word is pronounced by how it is written. there is a method to present written chinese in a phonetic script called pinyin. if you are learning chinese, youll be working with this pinyin system, but the beauty of the traditional writing system shouldnt be passed up. all these factors make learning chinese difficult for us. yet, for a determined learner, theres always a way to overcome it.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲了世界上越来越多的人学汉语，以及汉语难学的原因。21learning chinese is

important.”可知，越来越多的人学汉语是因为中国在世界经济中起重要的作用，故答案为d。22from the text we can learn that _.athe author thinks chinese is as difficult as englishbthe author is interested in chinese and chinas culturecforeign languages can play a great role in industrial developmentdas long as the pinyin system is learned well, one can learn chinese well答案与解析：b细节理解题。根据第一段中的“for those of us who wish to visit china or learn

speech day, and right now its chris palaezs turn. the 8yearold is the joker of the class. with shining dark eyes, he seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy public speaking.but hes nervous. “im here to tell you today why you should. should.” chris trips on the “ld，” a pronunciation difficulty for many nonnative english speakers. his teacher, thomas whaley, is next to him, whispering support. “.vote for. me.” except for some stumbles,_chris is doing amazingly well. when he brings his speech to a nice conclusion, whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.a son of immigrants, chris started learning english a little over three years ago, whaley recalls(回想起) how at the beginning of the year, when called upon to read, chris would excuse himself to go to the bathroom.learning english as a second language can be a painful experience. what you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. “it takes a lot for any student，” whaley explains, “especially for a student who is learning english as their new language, to feel confident enough to say, i dont know, but i want to know.”whaley got the idea of this secondgrade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president. the answer broke his heart. whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public. he wants these kids to learn to boast(夸耀) about themselves.“boasting about yourself, and your best qualities，” whaley says, “is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident.”【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。canaan小学的whaley老师创办了一个“总统竞选项目”，不但让学生学会读书和在公共场所演讲，而且让学生学会夸耀自己，学会自信。24what made chris nervous?atelling a story. bmaking a speech.ctaking a test. danswering a question.答案与解析：b细节理解题。根据题干中关键词nervous可以直接定位到第二段第一句，该句提到了他紧张。然后找他紧张的原因，就继续往前文找信息句。根据“.today is speech day, and right now its chris palaezs turn.”和“.he seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy public speaking.”可知，今天是canaan小学的演讲日，现在轮到了chris。他虽然看起来是那种喜欢公开演讲的孩子，但是他很紧张。所以，演讲使chris很紧张。25what does the underlined word “stumbles” in paragraph 2 refer to?aimproper pauses. bbad manners.cspelling mistakes. dsilly jokes.答案与解析：a词义猜测题。根据第二段第二句中的“.you should. should.”以及本段后文中“.vote for. me.”这样的语句特点可知，chris的演讲不流畅，即有一些不恰当的停顿。这是他表现不好的地方，也与划线词后面的句意“他完成得非常好”在逻辑上构成转折关系，与原文except for的语意相呼应。26we can infer that the purpose of whaleys project is to _. ahelp students see their own strengthsbassess students public speaking skillscprepare students for their future jobsdinspire students love for politics答案与解析：a推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public. he wants these kids to learn to boast about themselves.”可知，whaley创办这个项目的目的不仅仅是让学生学会阅读和在公共场合演讲，他还希望学生学会自夸。a项意为“帮助学生看到自己的长处”，与原文意思相符。27which of the following best describes whaley as a teacher?ahumorous. bambitious.ccaring. ddemanding.答案与解析：c推理判断题。全文介绍了whaley老师通过创办“总统竞选项目”，不但让学生学会读书和在公共场所演讲，而且让学生学会夸耀自己，学会自信。根据第二段中的“his teacher, thomas whaley, is next to him, whispering support.”和“.whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.”等细节也可看出whaley老师是一个关心学生的老师。cfood festivals around the worldstilton cheese rollingmay day is a traditional day for celebrations, but the 2,000 english villagers of stilton must be the only

cooked. but have you ever asked yourself where they came from?it all started in peru. there, people grew potatoes over 2,000 years ago. they werent like the ones we know today. _31_ the first europeans to try to plant potatoes were the spanish. in 1537, spanish explorers discovered people eating what they called “papas”. they brought this strange vegetable back to spain in the 1550s.people generally didnt like the potato. lots of other vegetables were introduced into europe at the same time, like tomatoes and sweet potatoes, and people preferred those to the unattractive potatoes. _32_ very slowly, they spread through europe. there is a story that king louis of france liked potatoes and planted them in his royal garden. _33_so, what about chips? well, the belgians claim that they invented fried potatoes, although nobody really knows for sure. the first mention of “chips” in england is by the writer charles dickens in 1859. _34_ the americans call them “french fries” because soldiers from america went to france during the first world war and loved the dish. now, the americans eat over twenty million tons of chips a year.crisps are an american invention, although they call them “chips”. everybody agrees that a native chef, george grum, made the first crisps in 1853. one day, a difficult customer wanted fried potatoes, sliced thinly. when they arrived, he said they werent thin enough. _35_ in the end, grum got annoyed and sliced the potatoes as thinly as he could and fried them, and then added lots of salt. the dish was an immediate success.next time you are in
