Ⅵ.阅读理解
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
2024·效实中学高一检测If you are fond of learning languages, you must start learning Chinese. English is the most widely spoken language in the world and it is a more powerful language in all fields. But it is expected that Chinese, which is one of the six official languages of the United Nations(UN), will be the most important language in the coming years. What are the reasons behind the rapid spread of this language and why should you learn it?
My desire to learn languages was the reason why I studied many Latin languages and in the process, I deepened my knowledge of the languages and their literature. However, I did not feel self-sufficient(自给自足的) from this knowledge. I gained a lot of information about the Western world. But my thinking was always about Asian civilisations. I always felt I needed to learn Chinese to be a global citizen because “without learning Chinese, we see with one eye”.
My contact with many international organisations and government institutions(机构) made me believe that Chinese is one of the most important languages of our time.After visiting the world's most celebrated capitals such as Paris and London, I discovered that the Chinese language can be seen everywhere in these places. In the subway in Paris, you will hear instructions in French, English and Chinese. In London, for example, the Chinese language was introduced for instruction in schools.
China is an important political(政治的) and economic country because it is making great economic progress that has never been seen before. The world is watching China with great surprise, and this peaceful Chinese rise makes us decide to focus on learning the Chinese language and knowing more about Chinese culture.
To be a global citizen these days, I would advise you to learn Chinese. It will add more beauty to your life and allow you to better understand Chinese civilisation.
( D )1.What can we learn about languages in the future according to the first paragraph?
A.Some of them will disappear.
B.More official languages will be added to the UN.
C.English will still have an advantage over others.
D.The Chinese language will probably be second to none.
( A )2.What can be inferred from Paragraph 2 about the author?
A.He realised the necessity of learning Chinese.
B.He got bored with learning Latin languages.
C.He was doing some research on the Chinese language.
D.He was satisfied with his knowledge of language learning.
( D )3.What do the examples in Paragraph 3 show?
A.Paris is worth a visit.
B.Chinese learning is very popular in schools in London.
C.People in some Western countries like speaking Chinese.
D.The Chinese language is playing an important role in the world.
( A )4.What mainly causes Westerners to start learning Chinese according to the text?
A.The rise of Chinese economy.
B.Their love for language learning.
C.The long history of Chinese civilisation.
D.Their curiosity about Asian culture.
【语篇解读】随着中国经济的崛起,汉语预计将成为世界上最重要的语言。
1.D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But it is expected that Chinese, which is one of the six official languages of the United Nations(UN), will be the most important language in the coming years.(但预计作为联合国六种官方语言之一的汉语在未来几年里将成为最重要的语言。)”可知,中文可能会成为首屈一指的语言。故选D。
2.A 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I always felt I needed to learn Chinese to be a global citizen because ‘without learning Chinese, we see with one eye’.(我一直觉得我需要学习汉语才能成为一名全球公民,因为‘不学习汉语,我们就是用一只眼睛看东西’。)”可知,作者认为要成为全球公民就要学习汉语,不学习汉语就不能全面地看世界。由此可推断出,作者意识到学习汉语的必要性。故选A。
3.D 推理判断题。根据第三段首句“My contact with many international organisations and government institutions(机构) made me believe that Chinese is one of the most important languages of our time.(我与许多国际组织和政府机构的接触使我相信汉语是我们这个时代最重要的语言之一。)”可知,作者通过和国际组织和政府机构的接触意识到了汉语的重要性;下文“After visiting the world's most celebrated capitals such as Paris and London, I discovered that the Chinese language can be seen everywhere in these places. In the subway in Paris, you will hear instructions in French, English and Chinese. In London, for example, the Chinese language was introduced for instruction in schools.(在参观了巴黎和伦敦等世界上最著名的首都后,我发现汉语在这些地方随处可见。在巴黎的地铁里,你会听到法语、英语和中文的指示。例如,在伦敦,汉语被引入学校教学。)”列举了汉语在巴黎等世界著名的首都的普遍使用。由此可推断出,作者列举这些例子是为了说明汉语在世界上正发挥着重要作用。故选D。
4.A 推理判断题。根据第四段“中国是一个重要的政治和经济国家,因为它正在取得前所未有的巨大经济进步。全世界都在惊讶地注视着中国,中国的和平崛起让我们决定专注于学习汉语和更多地了解中国文化。”可知,中国在经济上正取得前所未有的进步,这让全世界瞩目,中国的崛起使西方人决定学习汉语、了解中国文化。由此可推断出,中国经济的崛起是西方人开始学习汉语的主要原因。故选A。

Ⅷ.语法填空
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
2024·潍坊一中高一检测When I was young I hated languages. It was not until my 1.__graduation__(graduate) from high school 2.__that__ I considered learning 3.__a__ second language—Spanish.
I was working in a school for disabled children in a class of six. Only two children could speak, but I realised 4.__gradually__(gradual) that every child could communicate. Some of them used physical signs and movements 5.__to__express__(express) themselves. Others used their voices—they made noises which changed depending 6.__on/upon__ how they felt. They even “talked” to each other, 7.__having__(have) arguments and friendly chats like anyone else. Every child in that room had likes and dislikes, desires and fears 8.__that/which__ they communicated every day, without saying a single sentence.
As time went on, I learned not only Spanish but the language of every one of the children I cared for. I had been making excuses for not trying all these years and here 9.__were__(be) disabled children showing me how important communication really was. It made me want to challenge 10.__myself__(I) and really learn Spanish.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者小时候讨厌学语言,但当他接触到一群不能讲话却又对交流充满热情的孩子后,他认识到了交流的重要性,并且决定真正学习西班牙语。
1.graduation 考查名词。my是形容词性物主代词,其后应接名词,graduate的名词形式是graduation。故填graduation。
2.that 考查强调句型。分析句子结构可知,此处考查not until的强调句型:it was not until...+that...(直到……才……)。故填that。
3.a 考查冠词。结合句意可知,此处表示“再一……”,用“a+序数词”来表示,且second以元音音素开头。故填a。
4.gradually 考查副词。用副词修饰动词realised。故填gradually。
5.to express 考查非谓语动词。句意:他们中有些人用肢体语言或动作来表达自己。分析句子结构可知,句子的谓语为used,空处应用非谓语动词,再结合句意可知,此处表目的,用不定式。故填to express。
6.on/upon 考查介词。固定短语depend on/upon意为“取决于/依赖”。故填on或upon。
7.having 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,句子的谓语为talked,所以此处应用非谓语动词,逻辑主语They和have之间是主动关系,用现在分词作状语。故填having。
8.that/which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,此处是定语从句,先行词likes and dislikes, desires and fears指物,关系词在从句中充当宾语。故填that或which。
9.were 考查时态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知,此处是句子的谓语动词,根据had been making可判断时态为一般过去时,here位于句首时句子用完全倒装,即“here+谓语+主语”,本句的主语是disabled children,所以谓语动词用were。故填were。
10.myself 考查代词。句意:它让我想挑战自己并且真正地学习西班牙语。此处作challenge的宾语,再结合句意“我想挑战自己”可知,用反身代词。故填myself。
