(appreciate) China’s culture and history.Ⅰ.阅读理解A In American English, when someone says he has to “face the music”, it does not mean he is going to a musical performance or a concert.Imagine a friend asks you to take care of her beautiful sports car.She says, “Please do not drive it.It is an extremely fast car.”But you want to pretend the car is yours.So, you drive it around one night.As bad luck would have it, you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign.When your friend returns, you must “face the music”.It can be losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her car or both.In 1851,the writer James Fenimore explained “face the music”.In a theater, the orchestra (管弦乐队) sits in front of the stage.So, actors on stage face the musicians.Many actors are very nervous, a condition called stage fright.They may want to run away.“Facing the music” means accepting it and not surrendering (屈服) to it.Word experts say “face the music” may come from the army.A soldier could be forced out of the horse cavalry (骑兵团) because of the serious mistakes in the war.The army drummers would play a sad beat.The soldier would be seated backward on a horse and face the music of the drums.To “take your medicine” is to accept the bad result from something you have done.And if someone says “You made your bed.Now lie in it”, he means you create a bad situation and you must deal with it.But it’s fun to “lie in the bed and enjoy music”.“Pay the piper” is also similar to “face the music”.1.According to Paragraph 2, when your friend comes back, .A.you can go to a concertB.you can refuse to repair the carC.you can pretend the car is yoursD.you have to accept the bad result2.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.A theater. B.Stage fright.C.The stage. D.The orchestra.3.Which of the following is different from other three expressions?A.Pay the piper.B.Take your medicine.C.Lie in the bed and enjoy music.D.You made your bed.Now lie in it.B There is increased understanding of Chinese vocabulary and concepts outside China, and more Chinese words are being used in the English language, according to a recent report.Shaolin, a form of Chinese kung fu, was listed as the most recognised Chinese word, according to a report issued by the China Foreign Languages Publishing Administration (CFLPA) on Saturday.Top ten list words and concepts also included: “yinyang” “yuan” “gugong” “nihao” “wushu” “qi” “qigong” “renminbi” and “majiang or mahjong”.Chinese concepts listed among the top 100 include Chinese traditional festivals, soft power, economic, scientific and technological development, such as “a community with a shared future” “Belt and Road” “Alipay” and “Chang’e lunar probes”.China Central Television (CCTV) said that many Chinese words which were translated into English in the past have now been replaced by the pinyin, such as “jiaozi” replacing “dumpling” and “mantou” replacing “steamed bun”.Words about the Spring Festival have also been often searched on English-language websites in recent years, including “chunlian”, the Spring Festival couplets, “chunyun”, the Spring Festival travel rush, “chunwan”, the CCTV New Year’s Gala, and “hongbao”, red envelopes containing money.“The festival is now being celebrated in more countries around the world,” CCTV said, “adding that Chinese elements have also been used by leading fashion designers, including dragon, phoenix and peony designs, as well as the Chinese zodiac animals (生肖).”The report came from surveys in eight major English-speaking countries, and also calculated data (数据) of more than 300 Chinese vocabulary entries which appeared on the main websites in English-speaking countries.4.Which of the following words is the most well-known outside China according to the report?A.Nihao. B.Shaolin.C.Yinyang. D.Renminbi.5.“Steamed bun” is probably a kind of .A.food B.drinkC.music D.plants6.What can we infer from the passage?A.Foreigners like pinyin very much.B.China has a great influence in the world.C.The survey was made by China Central Television.D.Few foreigners are interested in the Spring Festival.7.What would be the best title for this passage?A.Chinese Words Go to the WorldB.A Report About Chinese VocabularyC.Chinese Culture Is Popular WorldwideD.A Survey About Foreigners’ Favourite WordsⅡ.完形填空James Charles is the manager of Kiplin Automotive Group.For about two months, he has been 8 people to use the company’s parking lot as a safe place to sleep at night.Charles was first 9 to pursue (从事) his labor of love after he found there was a woman 10 in a car.Knowing the woman was 11 , Charles tried to get her into a shelter.However, he was 12 to find that every shelter in the city was full. 13 he paid for her to stay in a hotel for a few nights, he knew there were other people experiencing the same situation.“That was really the 14 I got at that time and I realised I needed to do something for those people without delay (耽搁),” he said.Then Charles 15 made a post online asking community members to 16 the word about his plan, so that more people in need could know his good 17 .“For those going through 18 times, we would like to 19 a safe place for you.

[3]此处是“介词on+which”引导的定语从句,修饰先行词animal bones and shells。[4]By the Shang Dynasty (around 1600-1046 BCE), these symbols had become a well-developed writing system. Over the years, the system developed into different forms, [5]as it was a time when people were divided geographically, leading to many varieties of dialects and characters .This, however, changed under Emperor Qinshihuang of the Qin Dynasty (221-207 BCE). [4]“by+过去的时间”作时间状语时,句子用过去完成时。[5]as引导原因状语从句,该从句中when引导定语从句,修饰先行词a time; leading to ...是动词-ing短语作结果状语。Emperor Qinshihuang united the seven major states into one unified country where the Chinese writing system began to develop in one direction.That writing system was of great importance in uniting the Chinese people and culture.Even today, [6]no matter where Chinese people live or what dialect they speak, they can all still communicate in writing.

[7]此处是“介词by+which”引导的定语从句,修饰先行词an important means。[8][9]都是which引导的定语从句,which在从句中作主语。Today, the Chinese writing system is still an important part of Chinese culture.[10]As China plays a greater role in global affairs , an increasing number of international students are beginning to appreciate China’s culture and history through this amazing language.

According to Paragraph 2, when your friend comes back, .A. you can go to a concertB. you can refuse to repair the carC. you can pretend the car is yoursD. you have to accept the bad result解析: 推理判断题。根据第二段中的When your friend returns,you must “face the music”.It can be losing her friendship or paying forrepairs to her car or both.可知,当你的朋友回来时,你必须面对现实,接受你的行为造成的不良后果。2. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. A theater. B. Stage fright.C. The stage. D. The orchestra.解析: 代词指代题。根据画线词前的Many actors are verynervous, a condition called stage fright.和画线词后的not surrendering(屈服) to it可知,许多演员很紧张,也就是怯场。他们可能会想临阵脱逃。face the music意味着承受怯场心理而不是妥协。3. Which of the following is different from other three expressions?A. Pay the piper.B. Take your medicine.C. Lie in the bed and enjoy music.D. You made your bed.Now lie in it.解析: 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的But it’s fun to “lie in thebed and enjoy music”.可知,lie in the bed and enjoy music表达的是正面含义,而其他三个习语都表达负面含义。B There is increased understanding of Chinese vocabulary and conceptsoutside China, and more Chinese words are being used in the Englishlanguage, according to a recent report. Shaolin, a form of Chinese kung fu, was listed as the mostrecognised Chinese word, according to a report issued by the ChinaForeign Languages Publishing Administration (CFLPA) on Saturday.Top ten list words and concepts also included: “yinyang” “yuan”“gugong” “nihao” “wushu” “qi” “qigong” “renminbi” and “majiang ormahjong”.Chinese concepts listed among the top 100 include Chinese traditionalfestivals, soft power, economic, scientific and technologicaldevelopment, such as “a community with a shared future” “Belt andRoad” “Alipay” and “Chang’e lunar probes”.China Central Television (CCTV) said that many Chinese wordswhich were translated into English in the past have now been replaced bythe pinyin, such as “jiaozi” replacing “dumpling” and “mantou” replacing“steamed bun”.Words about the Spring Festival have also been often searched onEnglish-language websites in recent years, including “chunlian”, theSpring Festival couplets, “chunyun”, the Spring Festival travel rush,“chunwan”, the CCTV New Year’s Gala, and “hongbao”, redenvelopes containing money.“The festival is now being celebrated in more countries around theworld,” CCTV said, “adding that Chinese elements have also been usedby leading fashion designers, including dragon, phoenix and peonydesigns, as well as the Chinese zodiac animals (生肖).”The report came from surveys in eight major English-speakingcountries, and also calculated data (数据) of more than 300 Chinesevocabulary entries which appeared on the main websites in English-speaking countries.语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。一项报告显示,越来越多的中文词语被外国人接受并以拼音的形式被应用于英语中。本文是一篇说明文。一项报告显示,越来越多的中文词语被外国人接受并以拼音的形式被应用于英语中。4. Which of the following words is the most well-known outside Chinaaccording to the report?A. Nihao. B. Shaolin.C. Yinyang. D. Renminbi.解析: 细节理解题。根据第二段可知,“shaolin”一词高居该排行榜榜首,是最有影响力的中文词汇。5. “Steamed bun” is probably a kind of .A. food B. drinkC. music D. plants解析: 推理判断题。根据第五段可知,拼音“mantou”取代了英文单词“steamed bun”。6. What can we infer from the passage?A. Foreigners like pinyin very much.B. China has a great influence in the world.C. The survey was made by China Central Television.D. Few foreigners are interested in the Spring Festival.解析: 推理判断题。根据第五段可知,现在出现一种趋势,就是直接用中文拼音代替英文翻译。再结合第一段可以判断,中国对世界有重大影响。7. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Chinese Words Go to the WorldB. A Report About Chinese VocabularyC. Chinese Culture Is Popular WorldwideD.
