Mary-Jo Saunders goes to kindergarten every day, just like many other five-year-olds in New York. Today, she is learning a poem (诗). What is special is that it is a Chinese poem and that she is able to recite (背诵) it perfectly. Soon she is going to learn Chinese handwriting too. “Learning the world’s most spoken language might give Mary-Jo a head start in the future,” says her mother Alison. “I think it can help her to succeed in life.”
More and more parents in the world are getting their children to take Chinese classes. Learning Chinese is becoming very popular. In fact, more than 75 countries now teach Chinese in schools. Over 4,000 colleges around the world offer Chinese classes, and about 25 million people are learning Chinese outside China.
It is easy to understand why Chinese is becoming so popular. Learning Chinese may help people get more job opportunities (机会). China is a big and important country, and it’s getting even more important with time. For example, it has started the Belt and Road Initiative (“一带一路”倡议) to encourage many countries along the Silk Road to be friends and work together. It has created thousands of jobs, and many of them need people with a knowledge of Chinese. Another reason is that studying Chinese helps people to learn about the amazing history and culture of China. “Kids find China very fascinating,” Adam Turner, a school head teacher in the UK, said. “They want to learn about its traditions, dynasties, and beautiful art. Learning Chinese helps them learn about the outside world and see the world in a new way.”
53. What do we know about Mary-Jo from Paragraph 1?
A. She loves writing poems.
B. She can recite many Chinese poems.
C. She learns Chinese in kindergarten.
54. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Importance of Chinese classes for kids.
B. Popularity of Chinese learning.
C. Famous Chinese colleges.
55. What has China’s Belt and Road Initiative brought to people?
A. A new country. B. Growing population. C. More job opportunities.
56. According to the last paragraph, which of the following is one reason for learning Chinese?
A. To see a different world.
B. To learn more job skills.
C. To travel more easily along the Silk Road.
【答案】53. C 54. B 55. C 56. A
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了越来越多的家长和孩子对学习汉语产生浓厚兴趣的现象。
【53题详解】

What do you think of when someone comes up with the topic of “museum”? Do you picture famous paintings hanging on a wall? Long, quiet halls full of priceless antiques (古董)? Or perhaps inventions from the past or future? Well, guess what? Museums have all of that and more!
There are lots of different kinds of museums all over the world. They each have something different to show you. Let’s check out some popular ones!
If you love art, there are art museums everywhere. A famous one is the Louvre in Paris, France. It’s where the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo live!
Museums aren’t just for grown-ups. They can be fun and educational for kids, too! Children’s museums are made just for young minds. These museums have things for children to play with. They make learning a fun experience for little kids.
If you’re into animals and nature, you’ll enjoy natural museums. They have plants, animals, rocks, and fossils (化石). You can even do hands-on activities and get close to nature.
There are also science and space museums! They can take you on a journey through space and teach you about the world around you. If you love to wonder about what’s out there, visit a science or space museum.
If you are crazy about history, you can’t miss history museums. They show you what life was like in the past. These museums might have models of people, objects, and even real things from long ago. For example, the Shaanxi History Museum is known for its collection of ancient artifacts (人工制品).

Mary-Jo Saunders goes to kindergarten every day, just like many other five-year-olds in New York. Today, she is learning a poem (诗). What is special is that it is a Chinese poem and that she is able to recite (背诵) it perfectly. Soon she is going to learn Chinese handwriting too. “Learning the world’s most spoken language might give Mary-Jo a head start in the future,” says her mother Alison. “I think it can help her to succeed in life.”
More and more parents in the world are getting their children to take Chinese classes. Learning Chinese is becoming very popular. In fact, more than 75 countries now teach Chinese in schools. Over 4,000 colleges around the world offer Chinese classes, and about 25 million people are learning Chinese outside China.
It is easy to understand why Chinese is becoming so popular. Learning Chinese may help people get more job opportunities (机会). China is a big and important country, and it’s getting even more important with time. For example, it has started the Belt and Road Initiative (“一带一路”倡议) to encourage many countries along the Silk Road to be friends and work together. It has created thousands of jobs, and many of them need people with a knowledge of Chinese. Another reason is that studying Chinese helps people to learn about the amazing history and culture of China. “Kids find China very fascinating,” Adam Turner, a school head teacher in the UK, said. “They want to learn about its traditions, dynasties, and beautiful art. Learning Chinese helps them learn about the outside world and see the world in a new way.”
53. What do we know about Mary-Jo from Paragraph 1?
A. She loves writing poems.
B. She can recite many Chinese poems.
C. She learns Chinese in kindergarten.
54. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Importance of Chinese classes for kids.
B. Popularity of Chinese learning.
C. Famous Chinese colleges.
55. What has China’s Belt and Road Initiative brought to people?
A. A new country. B. Growing population. C. More job opportunities.
56. According to the last paragraph, which of the following is one reason for learning Chinese?
A. To see a different world.
B. To learn more job skills.
C. To travel more easily along the Silk Road.

What do you think of when someone comes up with the topic of “museum”? Do you picture famous paintings hanging on a wall? Long, quiet halls full of priceless antiques (古董)? Or perhaps inventions from the past or future? Well, guess what? Museums have all of that and more!
There are lots of different kinds of museums all over the world. They each have something different to show you. Let’s check out some popular ones!
If you love art, there are art museums everywhere. A famous one is the Louvre in Paris, France. It’s where the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo live!
Museums aren’t just for grown-ups. They can be fun and educational for kids, too! Children’s museums are made just for young minds. These museums have things for children to play with. They make learning a fun experience for little kids.
If you’re into animals and nature, you’ll enjoy natural museums. They have plants, animals, rocks, and fossils (化石). You can even do hands-on activities and get close to nature.
There are also science and space museums! They can take you on a journey through space and teach you about the world around you. If you love to wonder about what’s out there, visit a science or space museum.
If you are crazy about history, you can’t miss history museums. They show you what life was like in the past. These museums might have models of people, objects, and even real things from long ago. For example, the Shaanxi History Museum is known for its collection of ancient artifacts (人工制品).
And finally, don’t forget about special museums for other interesting things. Some museums are about trains, cars, ships, airplanes, and even toilets!
Anyway, next time you’re looking for a fun time, find a museum! Who knows, you might be opening a window to a different world for yourself!
