Knowing how to ask for them can make our life much easier! Use greetings (问候语) and polite expressions. Starting the conversation with a greeting is necessary. If you want to get a nice answer, begin by saying “hello” first. And some words like “may, can and could” will help you express yourself better. Build your words. You should know the basic (基本的) words when asking for directions. It may be useful to remember some famous places. Then try to use the right words when asking for a direction. Get to know the transportation system (交通系统). Sometimes, it can happen that you are still far from your place. Which kind of public transportation should you choose? You might ask like this “Is it far? Do I need to take the bus or the subway there?” Don’t be afraid of using symbols. Every city in the world has its own symbols. You can decrease search time if you know what the most important symbols are in the city. Your place might be around the symbols. Don’t be too shy to ask. Learn to relax if you get lost somewhere. We all do that now and then especially when visiting a new city. But always make sure you can ask others for help! 25. Which of the following expressions may not help you when asking for directions? A. Tell me... B. Could you please... C. May I ask... 26. What does the underlined word “decrease” mean in Chinese? A. 增加 B. 减少 C. 浪费 27. What’s the best title for the passage? A. How to Ask for Directions B. When to Ask for Directions C. Why We Should Ask for Directions 28. How many suggestions does the writer give in the passage? A. Four. B. Five. C. Six. 【答案】25. A 26. B 27. A 28. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了如何问路。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据“If you want to get a nice answer, begin by saying ‘hello’ first. And some words like ‘may, can and could’ will help you express yourself better.”可知，像“may”、“can”和“could”这样词会帮助你更好地表达自己，而“Tell me…”显得不够礼貌，故选A。 【26题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“You can decrease search time if you know what the most important symbols are in the city.”可知，如果你知道城市中最重要的标志是什么，你可以减少搜索时间，所以decrease意为“减少”，故选B。 【27题详解】 最佳标题题。根据“Asking for directions is the first thing we do when we arrive in a new place, or even when we are just trying to find a place.”以及全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了如何问路，故选A。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中提到的五个建议：“Use greetings and polite expressions”、“Build your words”、“Get to know the transportation system”、“Don’t be afraid of using symbols”、“Don’t be too shy to ask”可知，作者给出了五条建议，故选B。 C All over the world, more and more people are studying Chinese as a second language. Chinese is too hard to learn, right? Really, written Chinese is difficult to learn! However, the spoken language is quite different.

With the help of the right tool, you can make it easier and study anytime anywhere. Here are some apps to help you. App Started in What you can do 2011 ◆raise questions online and get satisfying answers ◆discuss any topic you want to know about with others 2012 ◆download (下载) meaningful audio (有声) books and listen offline ◆get more recommendations (推荐) according to your reading taste 2007 ◆look up a new word through voice search without having to spell it ◆understand how a word is used by reading example sentences 2009 ◆search for videos about study such as “how to take notes” ◆connect with and learn from people who have similar interest 21. According to the passage, _______ was started about 16 years ago. A. B. C. 22. According to the chart, which of the following is NOT true? A. We can ask questions and get answers on Zhihu. B. We can read example sentences about a new word on Youdao. C. We can play different kinds of online video games on Ximalaya FM. 23. The writer wants to tell us _______. A. learning is difficult B. study only happens in schools C. right tools are helpful for studying 24. The passage is mainly about _______. A. some ways to learn English well B. some useful Apps to help you study C. some suggestions about a healthy life B Asking for directions is the first thing we do when we arrive in a new place, or even when we are just trying to find a place. Knowing how to ask for them can make our life much easier! Use greetings (问候语) and polite expressions. Starting the conversation with a greeting is necessary. If you want to get a nice answer, begin by saying “hello” first. And some words like “may, can and could” will help you express yourself better. Build your words. You should know the basic (基本的) words when asking for directions. It may be useful to remember some famous places. Then try to use the right words when asking for a direction. Get to know the transportation system (交通系统). Sometimes, it can happen that you are still far from your place. Which kind of public transportation should you choose? You might ask like this “Is it far? Do I need to take the bus or the subway there?” Don’t be afraid of using symbols. Every city in the world has its own symbols. You can decrease search time if you know what the most important symbols are in the city. Your place might be around the symbols. Don’t be too shy to ask. Learn to relax if you get lost somewhere. We all do that now and then especially when visiting a new city. But always make sure you can ask others for help! 25. Which of the following expressions may not help you when asking for directions? A. Tell me... B. Could you please... C. May I ask... 26. What does the underlined word “decrease” mean in Chinese? A. 增加 B. 减少 C. 浪费 27. What’s the best title for the passage? A.

C All over the world, more and more people are studying Chinese as a second language. Chinese is too hard to learn, right? Really, written Chinese is difficult to learn! However, the spoken language is quite different. Many famous people in the world ask their children to learn how to speak Chinese at first. When the US President Donald Trump visited China in November last year, his granddaughter Arabella sang Chinese songs and recited Chinese poems in a sweet voice in the video. President Xi Jingping praised her in public. Actually, Arabella has been learning Chinese since she was only eighteen months old. Why do many famous people begin to pay more attention to learning Chinese? The first reason is that Chinese is the language spoken by the largest number of people in the world. Learn to speak Chinese and you can speak with millions of people around the world. Second, with thousands of years of history, Chinese culture is very fascinating. Learning Chinese well will help you understand Chinese culture better. Of course, there are still other reasons, such as travel, business and so on. All in all, it is more convenient for you to develop all kinds of relationships with China if you can learn Chinese well. 29. According to the passage which of the following is TRUE? A. Written Chinese is easier to learn than spoken Chinese. B. Arabella began to learn Chinese when she was two years old. C. Chinese is spoken by the largest number of people in the world. 30. _______ reasons are mentioned (提到) in Paragraph 2 to explain why many famous people begin to pay more attention to learning Chinese. A. Two. B. Four. C. More than five. 31 We can infer (推测) from the passage that _______. A. President Xi Jingping never praised Arabella in public B. learning Chinese can only help you understand Chinese culture better C. it is easier for people who can speak Chinese to travel or do business in China 32. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Learning Chinese. B. Chinese culture. C. Famous people. D Wen Xionghui is a calligraphy (书法) teacher who works at Dongyuan Senior High School in Heyuan, Guangdong Province. Every Friday afternoon, he travels to rural (农村的) areas in Heyuan to teach students calligraphy. Wen started working as a volunteer calligraphy teacher in rural schools in 2014. “It takes me at least 1.5 hours to reach the nearest school by bus, and over 3 hours to get to the farthest school,” Wen says. The journey is harder if there’s bad weather, but Wen has never missed a class. “I’m glad when I see students make progress. I feel tired but happy,” he adds. Most of Wen’s students are left-behind (留守) children. Wen says that although rural children start to learn calligraphy later than children in cities, this doesn’t mean that they aren’t excellent students. In fact, he always finds students with a talent for art in rural schools, and some have become quite skilled because they keep practicing. Wen not only teaches students calligraphy in rural areas, but also spreads a love of traditional art and culture. “Teaching art is really meaningful in rural areas because there aren’t enough art teachers there,” Wen says. Li Zhihong, an expert in calligraphy, thinks that Wen has set a good example for his students. “He has taught them that learning calligraphy requires perseverance (毅力), just as what he has worked hard with for years,” Li says. 33. How often does Wen teach calligraphy in rural schools? A. Once a week. B. Twice a week. C. Three times a week. 34. What does Wen think of teaching in rural schools? A. Easy but boring. B. Tiring and boring. C. Tiring but meaningful. 35. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. What Wen thinks of rural children. B. Why city children are excellent learners. C. What problems the left-behind children have. 36. Which of the following ideas may Li agree with? A. Wen is a great teacher. B. Every teacher should volunteer in rural schools. C. Perseverance is the most important thing for a student. E Do you know Xi’an, the capital city of China’s Shanxi province, held the National Games last September? Starting from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, the city had held many sports events. Among them, cuju is one of the most enjoyable one. Cuju, as the origin (起源) of modern soccer, was an ancient Chinese competitive game involving (涉及) kicking a ball through an opening into a net. As the ancestor (祖先) of soccer, it first appeared in the well-known ancient Chinese historical work Zhan Guo Ce《战国策》, which described cuju as a form of entertainment (娱乐) among the general public.

Liu Che, emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was crazy about cuju, too. He would set up a cuju field wherever his army went. He used cuju as a way of training soldiers. _____________ The earliest record of women cuju players can be back to the Han Dynasty. We can see from the paintings women with their hair tied, waving their long sleeves and looking beautiful when playing cuju. Up to the Tang Dynasty. women players were usually seen at the royal court as emperors enjoyed watching soccer games. At that time, several different skills were widely used in playing cuju, mainly serving for fun. As a way of national culture protection, cuju was listed into the first China’s intangible cultural heritages (非物质文化遗产) in 2006. 37. Where can we probably find this passage? A. In an art magazine. B.
