Liu Xiaoming, Chinese ambassador to Britain, said in a congratulatory letter to the launching ceremony 5 the carefully­selected books in the “Chinese Bookshelf” will serve as a bridge for 6 (culture) exchanges and a window for Western readers 7 (understand) China. “Chinese publishing 8 (transform) itself in the last 10 to 20 years, and it is now among the leading publishing 9 (nation) of the world...

I. 阅读理解 A recent documentary produced by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has caused a stir in China and in the UK. The documentary titled Are Our Kids Tough Enough? focuses on five Chinese teachers who are sent to teach 50 UK teens at a school in Hampshire. The teachers instruct the students for a month. The students are then tested, and the results are compared to the ones of those who have continued in the regular UK education system. The idea is to see if the Chinese method improves academic performance. The Chinese teachers use their own teaching methods but receive strong resistance from the students. A clip from the documentary online shows some problems, with Chinese teachers calling their students lazy and lacking in discipline, while the students say the high pressure and harsh teachers are driving them crazy. This has aroused a new debate in both China and the UK, with some arguing the teenagers need more regulation and discipline. Others say Chinese methods encourage rote learning (死记硬背) instead of independent thinking. For instance, Chinese language teachers should do more than pass on knowledge about words and characters. They should inspire students, helping them feel the sentiment from Chinese literature. This is a higher level of teaching. Yang Dongping, dean of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, says, “The Chinese teaching methods are designed to strictly train the majority. Foreign teaching methods, however, are more natural and relaxing, and designed to inspire students’ interest in learning. Education methods are based on culture. That is why a successful education method in one place may not work that well when simply ‘transplanted’ into another place.” Yang Dongping says, “The documentary does reflect some problems rooted in traditional Chinese teaching methods. Nobel prize winner, Yang Zhenning, gave a very fair comment on this issue. He said the Chinese-style education method works for most ordinary qualified students effectively, helping them reach high standards. However, it may weaken the training for high-potential outstanding students.” 1. Why are five Chinese teachers sent to teach 50 UK teens? A. To test the intelligence of the UK teens. B. To help the school improve their teaching efficiency. C. To do some practical research into the UK education system. D. To test the effectiveness of Chinese teaching methods. 2. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “harsh” in the fourth paragraph? A. Extremely strict. B. Quite friendly. C. Rather cold. D. Very attractive. 3. According to Yang Dongping, Chinese teaching methods ________. A. fit all countries B. could be improved C. are the best in the world D. are not as good as British methods II. 七选五 When I decided to leave my home country to pursue a degree in Canada, I hadn’t expected that communication would be an issue. 1 I took English lessons in my teens and scored well on English tests. But soon after my arrival in Canada, I realised how wrong I was. In research discussions, surrounded by native English speakers, I had to be careful. I needed to consciously follow each conversation and translate it to my native language. 2 Finally, I tried to find the right English words to communicate that response. Constantly thinking about what I would say next, I had a hard time remaining focused in conversations. But when I again failed to say exactly what I meant in a meeting a few months later, a simple idea occurred to me. 3 Communicating with my colleagues by email, I had more time to think and comfortably express my thoughts. Over time, this practice helped improve my English significantly. 4 I decided to remind them that English is not my first language. I asked them to speak more slowly to help me follow the discussions. It was a little awkward to draw attention to what might be seen as a weakness. And at first, the other members of the research team seemed slightly surprised. But the dynamics quickly improved. They seemed to become more aware of how they were speaking, and I felt more comfortable joining in the conversation. 5 A. Plus, I learnt to be open with my colleagues. B. Why not contribute to the discussion in writing? C. I had thought I could express myself in English easily. D. Gradually I grew uncomfortable with oral communication. E. Then, I had to reflect carefully on it and think of a response. F. How can one deny the significance of effective communication? G. With efforts on both sides, we could overcome language barriers. Ⅲ.完形填空 One day, I stood at the roadside waiting for a bus. Everything was going as 1 when suddenly I heard a 2 beside me; it was a boy in 3 clothes, with a face that seemed like it had never been washed at all. I felt so disgusted at that moment that I tried to 4 myself away from that little boy. The boy kept 5 me, shouting, “Bhaiya! Bhaiya!” (Big brother! Big brother!), but I didn’t answer him at all. My 6 self was cursing the country for its poor 7 . Always begging for money—it all kept annoying me, making me feel more 8 to answer that dirty little boy who kept calling to me. “Bhaiya! Bhaiya!” I heard him call out again. This made me very angry and I shouted at him that I had no money to give him. And the boy, without even bothering to hear my words of 9 , said to me, “Bhaiya, could you please help me 10 the road?” The next moment, I felt 11 . I couldn’t feel my legs. The sudden feeling of 12 had engulfed (吞没) me from within. Was this what I had become? Had prejudice engulfed me to such a level where I decided that they begged for money and food every time somebody passed by? I held the boy’s hand 13 and for the first time, without a feeling of disgust that he might not have 14 for days or weeks, I helped him cross the road, and that successful act of assistance 15 a new hope inside me. I realised that our being judgmental will surely have a very bad effect unless we overcome it. 1. A. normal B. imagined C. discussed D. possible 2. A. sigh B. weep C. voice D. scream 3. A. small B. shabby C. lovely D. ugly 4. A. pull B. drive C. throw D. force 5. A. touching B. looking at C. interrupting D. following 6. A. curious B. better C. noble D. inner 7.

C　上文提到作者要去加拿大读书，后文又提到作者十几岁时英语成绩很好，说明作者一开始觉得自己的英语水平在加拿大沟通不成问题。故选C。 2. E　根据空前的“I needed to consciously...to my native language.”及空后的“Finally”可知，空处与前后句构成顺承关系。E项中的Then与空后的顺序词汇相呼应，且E项中的“a response”与空后的“that response”相对应。故选E。 3. B　根据上文可知，本句应承接上文说明这个主意是什么，结合后文作者写电子邮件可推测，作者想出的办法是通过书面形式而非口语参与讨论。故选B。 4. A　根据下文可知，空处是作者主动对同事坦白自己的缺点，A项中的colleagues对应后文中them。 故选A。 5. G　本句为本段最后一句，上文提到作者和同事的沟通情况有了改善，说明在他们双方的努力下，作者也在逐渐克服语言障碍。故选G。 Ⅲ.完形填空 One day, I stood at the roadside waiting for a bus.
