冲刺2024年中考英语必考题型终极预测（江苏专用） 专题15 阅读回答问题15篇 （2023·江苏盐城·校考二模）阅读并回答问题。 The story behind “Bro Shank You” Row Row Row Your Boat, a traditional English nursery rhyme, which is still popular today, has enjoyed a second wave of popularity because of a Chinese farmer. Liu Tao, a middle-aged farmer from Yangshuo, Guilin, South China’s Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, loves English and nicknames himself “Teacher Liu” on a short video platform (平台). Netizens (网友) are amused by his funny accent, and tease him calling him “Bro Shank You”. “In the 1980s, so many international friends came to visit Yangshuo that they even outnumbered the Chinese people on the street. When seeing me, they would say hello.” Liu said. From then on, he dreamed of being an English tour guide. He then returned home to do farm work, but he never stopped learning English. Borrowing textbooks from friends, Liu began homeschooling. “Practice makes perfect. Only when I repeat one sentence several times, can I remember it.” Liu even has a diary of oral English where he wrote down many dialogues used in different occasions. Though the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced the local tourism, Liu remains true to his original aspiration. He turned to a short-video platform to introduce his hometown in both Chinese and English. Some people laugh at Liu’s accent, but most of them show their support for him after hearing his story. “If you had been him, most of you might have given up.” “He is pretty good at self-learning!” “I do admire his thought of introducing his hometown.” Liu doesn’t feel lost in people’s attention, as he knows too well how transient (转瞬即逝的) people’s attention can be. But he does hope that the audience can get happiness and enjoy the beautiful views of his hometown from his videos. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 1．Why has Row Row Row Your Boat enjoyed a second wave of popularity? 2．What are netizens amused by? 3．When did he dream of
