But the next step is making sure that you remember what you’ve read! 26 You may have just read the text, but the ideas, concepts and images(形象) may fly right out of your head. Here are a few tricks for remembering what you read. ● 27 If the plot, characters, or word usage is confusing for you, you likely won’t be able to remember what you read. It’s a bit like reading a foreign language. If you don’t understand what you’re reading, how would you remember it? But there are a few things you can do...Use a dictionary; look up the difficult words. ●Are you connected? Does a character remind you of a friend? Does the setting make you want to visit the place? Does the book inspire you, and make you want to read more? With some books, you may feel a connection right away. 28 How willing are you to make the connections happen? ●Read it; hear it; be it! Read the lines. Then, speak them out loud. And, put some characters into the words. When he was writing his novels, Charles Dickens would act out the parts of the characters. He’d make faces in the mirror, and change his voice for each character. 29 ●How often do you read? If you read frequently, you’ll likely have an easier time with remembering what you’re reading(and what you’ve read). 30 As you make reading a regular part of your life, you’ll make more connections, stay more focused and understand the text better. You’ll learn to enjoy literature—as you remember what you read! A. Are you confused? B. Practice makes perfect. C. What’s your motivation? D. Memory is sometimes a tricky thing. E. Marking helps you remember what you read. F. But other books require a bit more work on your part. G. You can do the same thing when you are reading the text! 五．阅读理解（8分） Handwritten Chinese characters can be beautiful. I still remember looking at Chinese and not understanding anything it said and yet feeling a strong attraction. In fact, some students start learning Chinese because of the characters. After having studied Chinese for a while, I realized that handwriting in Chinese takes a very long time to learn. Living as we do in a digital era(数字时代) with smartphones and computers, most students sooner or later ask themselves this question: Is it really necessary to learn how to write by hand in Chinese? When using smartphones or computers, we can use phonetic input(语音输入) systems, which choose the characters we want for us as long as we can remember how they are pronounced. When we enter different characters, we seldom need to be able to recognize the difference between characters in detail, because the computer makes the right choices for us. Do we really need to write Chinese by hand? I think most people agree that you should learn to write at least some characters at some point as a student of Chinese, although not necessarily straight away and not necessarily all the characters that you can say. But unless you don't care about written language at all, you should learn the basics of handwriting. Without them, it will be very hard to understand characters. You don't need to be a calligraphy master, but you do need basic handwriting skills to do this. Simply looking at things is, as usual, a bad way of learning. I think learning the most common 500 or so characters is a good idea for all students. If you actually want to write by hand, increase that to 1,000. Then learn to handwrite characters outside of the 1,000 most common ones on a need⁃to⁃know basis. 31.What does the author think of Chinese characters? A.They are less understandable than English words. B.They attract some foreigners to learn Chinese. C.They show the greatness of Chinese culture. D.They are not really that difficult. 32.What can we infer about Chinese characters in Paragraph 2? A.Chinese characters are very difficult for foreigners to learn. B.People believe learning to write Chinese characters is important. C.People doubt the necessity of learning to write Chinese characters. D.Chinese characters may disappear with the development of society. 33.What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A.Understanding Chinese characters.　　　 B.Being a calligraphy master. C.Getting into a good learning habit.　　　 D.Learning basic handwriting skills. 34.What would be the best title for the text? A.Is it necessary to learn to write Chinese characters by hand? B.When was the last time you wrote something by hand? C.What rules are there for handwriting? D.How to write Chinese characters on a computer? 六、书面表达（20分） 写一篇有关汉语的文章。内容如下： 1.汉语是世界上最古老的语言之一，也是联合国（United Nations）的工作语言之一。 2.现在世界上越来越多的人说汉语。 3.随着中国的发展与壮大，汉语在国际交流中起着重要的作用。 要求：1.字数120词左右； 2.可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 一、单词拼写 【答案】 1. symbol 2. classic 3. factors 4. attitude 5. reference 6. system 7.

Professor White has written some short stories, but he is better known for his plays. 22. That was a time when she still looked relatively handsome. 23. No matter what you do, you should put your heart into it. 24. An increasing number of people are joining the Information Age via the Internet. 25. How does written Chinese connect Chinese people today with those of the past? 四、七选五 【答案】26-30 DAFGB 【解析】 26.空后表示：你或许刚刚读完一篇文章，但文章中的大意和出现的概念、形象可能就从你的大脑中消失了。根据but可知前后语意相反。刚刚读完文章就会忘记，那么记忆有时就是件很棘手的（tricky）事。 27.空格单独一行，且与下面的标题句并列，由此推断该句应为概括性语句，它与本段都属于a few tricks的范畴。再结合下文的confusing和don’t understand what you’re reading可知，本段是对产生的困惑给出小诀窍，故A项：你困惑吗？为最佳选项。 28.根据空格前面内容可知，读书需要联想。有些书，你或许马上能建立联想。空格后句意：你怎么才能建立这些联想呢？此处表示转折，而且前面用some books，后面必定有other之类的与之对应的词，而F项：But other books require a bit more work on your part满足这两个条件。 29.空格位于段末，根据文章的写作思路推测此处应是段落总结性的句子。再分析空格前的内容可知，该段主要讲了阅读，所以G项：你阅读时也可以这样做！符合语境。 30.空格前一句：如果经常阅读的话，你会记住你正在读和读过的内容；空格后一句：当阅读成为你日常生活的一部分时，你会产生更多的联想，阅读时会更加专注，同时也能更好地理解所读内容。通过frequently，regular等词汇推知，要多阅读，才能记住内容。此处B项（熟能生巧）符合语境。 五．阅读理解 ◎语篇解读　本文是一篇议论文。我们生活在一个拥有智能手机和电脑的数字时代,学习手写汉字真的有必要吗?作者给出了自己的答案——手写汉字有必要。 31.B　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In fact, some students start learning Chinese because of the characters.(事实上,一些学生开始学习中文是因为汉字。)”可知,汉字吸引了一些外国人学习中文。故选B。 32.C　推理判断题。第二段中讲到了我们生活在数字时代并介绍了智能手机或电脑如何帮我们输入汉字,并且其中提到了两个问题:“Is it really necessary to learn how to write by hand in Chinese?”和“Do we really need to write Chinese by hand?”。由此可知,人们怀疑学习写汉字的必要性。故选C。 33.A　词义猜测题。根据画线词所在的句子以及前面的两个句子“但是,除非你根本不在乎书面语言,否则你应该学习书写的基本要点。没有它们,就很难理解汉字。你不需要成为一名书法大师,但你确实需要基本的书写技能才能做到这一点。)”可推测画线词“this”指代上文中的“understand characters”。故选A。 34.A　主旨大意题。文章第一段点出了汉字的书写这一话题,第二段指出生活在数字时代的学生对学习写汉字的必要性持怀疑的态度,第三、四段阐述了大多数人的观点以及作者的观点。由此可知A项“有必要学习手写汉字吗?”适合作为文章标题。故选A。 【高频词汇】　1.sooner or later迟早　2.in detail详细地 3.at least至少　4.straight away马上 【熟词生义】　enter v.输入 长难句 原句　When using smartphones or computers, we can use phonetic input systems, which choose the characters we want for us as long as we can remember how they are pronounced. 分析　本句是一个主从复合句。句子主干是we can use phonetic input systems。When using smartphones or computers为when引导的时间状语从句,省略了主语和be动词;which引导的是非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词phonetic input systems,其中we want是省略了关系代词的定语从句,修饰先行词characters,as long as...pronounced是as long as引导的条件状语从句,how they are pronounced为how引导的宾语从句。 译文　当使用智能手机或电脑时,我们可以使用语音输入系统,只要我们能记住它们的发音,语音输入系统就可以为我们选择我们想要的汉字。 六、书面表达 【范文】 Chinese is one of the most ancient languages in the world. Although English is used all around the world, more and more people speak Chinese nowadays. You will hear Chinese spoken in many countries and areas. Chinese is also one of the official languages of the United Nations. Now that China is becoming stronger, Chinese will certainly play a more important part in international communication. More and more people in the world are beginning to learn Chinese and many famous universities have set Chinese course. I’m sure that it is a good idea for people from other countries to learn Chinese. $$Unit5 Languages Around the World 【单元测试 · 基础卷】 课内知识检测（82分） 1.核心单词（20分） 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！15 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 1.　　　　 n.十亿  2.　　　　 adj.出生地的;本地的;土著的 n.本地人  3.　　　　 n.态度;看法  4.　　　　 n.体系;制度;系统  5.　　　　 prep.即使;尽管  6.　　　　 n.因素;要素  7.　　　　 n.符号;象征  8.　　　　 vt.& vi.雕刻  9.　　　　 n.王朝;朝代  10.　　　　 n.方式;方法;途径  11.　　　　 adj.传统的;最优秀的;典型的 n.经典作品;名著  12.　　　　 n.尊重;关注 vt.把……视为;看待  13.　　　　 n.文字;符号;角色;品质;特点  14.　　　　 adj.全球的;全世界的  15.　　　　 n.公共事务;事件;关系  16.　　　　 adj.特定的;明确的;具体的  17.　　　　 n.& vi.斗争;奋斗;搏斗  18.　　　　 vt.恳求;祈求;哀求  19.　　　　 n.间隔;开口;差距  20.　　　　 n.词汇  2.拓展词汇—灵活用（22分） 1.　　　　 vi.提到;参考;查阅 vt.查询;叫……求助于→　　　　 n.谈及;参考  2.　　　　 vt.以……为据点;以……为基础 n.底部;根据→　　　　 adj.以(某事)为基础的;以……为重要部分(或特征)的→　　　　 adj.基本的  3.　　　　 n.(植物、语言等的)变体;异体;多样化→　　　　 adj.各种各样的→　　　　 vi.变化;相异;有别  4.　　　　 adj.主要的;重要的;大的 n.主修课程;主修学生 vi.主修;专门研究→　　　　 n.大部分;大多数  5.　　　　 vt.欣赏;重视;感激;领会 vi.增值→　　　　 n.感激;欣赏;增值  6.　　　　 n.同等的人;相等物 adj.相同的;同样的→　　　　 adv.同样地;平等地→ 　　　　 n.平等  7.　　　　 n.要求;需求 vt.强烈要求;需要 vi.查问→　　　　 adj.要求高的  8.　　　　 vt.联系;讲述→　　　　 n.关系;联系;亲属→　　　　 n.(人、团体、国家之间的)关系;联系→　　　　 adj.相关的;有联系的→　　　　 n.亲戚 adj.相对的;相比较而言的  3.重点短语（21分） 1.　　　　　　指的是;描述;提到;查阅  2.　　　　　　因……而出名  3.　　　　　　一直以来;自始至终  4.　　　　　　浮沉;兴衰;荣辱  5.　　　　　　最初;在开始时  6.　　　　　　追溯到  7.　　　　　　在……中起作用/扮演角色  8.　　　　　　至少  9.　　　　　　观点;看法  10.　　　　　　过去常常做某事  11.　　　　　　习惯于……  12.　　　　　　消除隔阂/差距  13.　　　　　　与……相关;涉及;谈到  14.　　　　　　决定(做);承担;雇用;呈现  15.lead to 　　　　　  16.be connected with 　　　　　  17.in modern times 　　　　　  18.reach the goal 　　　　　  19.be close to 　　　　　  20.be senior to 　　　　　  21.aside from 　　　　　  4.经典句子结构（19分） 1.到商朝(约公元前1600年—公元前1046年)时,这些符号已经演变成一套成熟的书写体系。 By the Shang Dynasty(around 1600-1046 BCE), these symbols 　　　　 　　　　a well⁃developed writing system.  2.那种书写体系在统一中国人民和文化方面非常重要。 That writing system was 　　　　 　　　　 　　　　in uniting the Chinese people and culture.  3.即使在今天,不论住在哪里,也不论说何种方言,中国人都仍能通过书写(汉字)进行交流。 Even today, 　　　　 　　　　 　　　　Chinese people live or what dialect they speak, they can all still communicate in writing.  4.这是对大脑的锻炼;我对一门语言学得越多,我的大脑就会越强大。 It was exercise for the brain;　　　　 　　　　 I learnt of a language, 　　　　 　　　　my brain would grow.  5.难道你不喜欢让某人告诉你裤子看起来是否好看吗?
