Ⅳ. 阅读理解 A 13、 Many Chinese girls love "small, fresh meat", which refers to young, effeminate(女人气的) male stars. However, not everyone is a fan of them. On Sept. 6, an article described some male stars as too effeminate. This came after CCTV was criticized for inviting several young male stars to perform on First Class for the New Semester，an educational TV show for primary and secondary school students, which aired 5days earlier. After that, many parents left comments online, saying the stars in the show had a bad influence on their children. The popularity of effeminate male stars is partly down to the influence of Japanese and South Korean pop culture, an expert told China Daily. However, the “femininity” of males isn't a recent social phenomenon. In fact, being effeminate was popular among Chinese men centuries ago. Indeed, the debate about effeminate male stars has been going on for a while. In July, a Hong Kong singer said during the singing reality show Sing! China that he feels tired of seeing effeminate male stars. “It isn't that they're not good, but we should discover ourselves.”He said during the show. His opinion was shared by a Chinese director. “Some young actors are feminine and they should be more manly,” he said. Deng Xiquan, head of the Youth Research Institute at the China Youth and Children Research Center, believes such a phenomenon is completely natural.“It will be replaced by a new youth culture at some stage. If a man has feminine beauty, this doesn't mean that he lacks responsibility,” Deng told China Daily. Deng's opinion was echoed by the People's Daily.“A man's strength should be judged on the basis of their inner qualities - not their phyical apperance,” it wrote. 1．First Class for the New Semester aired on_________ A．Sept.6 B．Sept.3 C．Sept.2 D．Sept.1 2．From the third paragraph we can know that_________ A．the popularity of effeminacy appeared in Japan first B．young, effeminate male stars are popular in South Korea C．in China, being effeminate was popular hundreds of years ago D．Chinese experts don't think effeminate male stars are popular 3．Which of the following is RIGHT about the Hong Kong singer? A．He doesn't like effeminate male stars. B．He thinks some young actors are more manly. C．He doesn't know anything about Sing! China. D．He asks women to discover themselves. 4．The underlined word“echoed" here means“_________”in Chinese. A．利用 B．附和 C．质疑 D．声明 5．What’s the passage mainly about? A．“Feminine” men cause hot debates. B．The time being effeminate appeared. C．The way to become effeminate men. D．People criticize effeminate men. B 14、One day after school, I went to the teacher's office to see my teacher, but nobody was there. As I was about to leave, I noticed a piece of paper on the floor. I picked it up and saw the words "FINAL-TERM EXAMINATION" at the top. I put the paper into my school bag secretly and ran out of the room. After I came back home, I took out the paper quickly. It was the exam paper of my worst subject, History. I felt excited. My heart beat fast. I took out my History book and started working on the answer. I had never answered any questions so seriously. On the day of the History exam, I went into the exam hall confidently. When the paper was sent to me, I dreamt of getting the highest mark in the whole grade and could not help smiling. "My History teacher always encouraged me to work hard and get better grades, but I let him down time and time again. This time I will give him a big surprise," I thought. When the teacher said we could start, I turned the paper over. To my surprise, all the questions were different. Later I felt nervous. In the end, I almost left the paper undone. After the exam. I ran to the toilet, took out the paper and carefully read it from the top. Oh! It was last year's exam paper. I read all the questions but I hadn't read the date. This is a lesson in which I know I have to put my feet on the ground. I regretted doing such a silly thing. After that, I told my teacher the truth and I promised to be honest.

Then do you watch the popular program?“A Bite of China(舌尖上的中国)” is a documentary on Chinese delicious food which has been broadcasted by Chinese central television. Is there any holiday that isn't celebrated with a special festival food? Here are several traditional Chinese foods: Eggs hold a special meaning in many cultures, and China is no exception(例外). The Chinese believe eggs mean producing something new. After a baby is born, parents may hold a "red egg and ginger party," where they pass out eggs to announce the birth. In some areas of China the number of eggs represents the sex of the child, for example, an even number(1,3,5,---) for a girl, and an odd number(2,4,6---) if a boy has been born. Noodles are a symbol of longlife in Chinese culture. They are as much a part of a Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cake with lit candles is in many countries. Since noodles represent long life, it is considered very unlucky to cut it off. Although westerners sometimes may be very sorry to see fish lying on a plate, in China a whole fish is a symbol of richness. In fact, at a party it is traditional to serve the whole fish last, pointed toward the valued guest. Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish, yu, sounds like the word for richness or plenty, and it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the year to come. A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat Festival is Zongzi. This tasty dish is made of rice dumplings with meat, peanut or other delicious food in bamboo leaves. The tradition of Zongzi is meant to remind us of a great man, Qu Yuan. The 50-minute program tries to bring something new by presenting more cultural elements(元素),such as eating habits and the quality of eating. 1．A bite of China is _______________. A．a book B．a documentary C．a guide book D．a newspaper 2．How many kinds of traditional food are mentioned in the passage? A．two B．three C．four D．five 3．A girl has been born in Mr. Li’s home. How many red eggs may he pass out to his friends according to Chinese tradition? A．two eggs B．none C．three eggs D．six eggs 4．Which of the following is RIGHT according to the passage? A．We can cut birthday noodles off in China if we think they are too long. B．It is impolite to server a whole fish last at a party in China. C．The program lasts for one hour. D．There are many kinds of Zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival. 5．What does the writer mean in the last paragraph? A．The writer thinks the program is too long. B．The writer thinks the program has more meanings inside than the story itself. C．The writer thinks everyone can have a good eating habit after watching the program. D．The writer thinks the program has brought many kinds of delicious food to us. D 16、He was just an ordinary postman. Day after day, he shuttled(穿梭) back and forth across the village.

I think it’s helpful not only to improve your Chinese but also to have a better understanding about China. However, a successful activity depends on how interested students feel. Thus, a good theme will be abslutely necessary. In my opinion, you may consider "Chinese Spring Festival" as your theme. For example, giving a lecture about the Spring Festival may make students get a general idea of it, writing couplets, guessing riddles and making Jiaozi are all the activities that are really interesting and attractive. In this way, students who are involved in the activities will surely experience Chinese culture. Xiao Ming 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
