Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2分,共8分)
(2024·广东高一联考期中)
Thomas Cheatham had planned to study Latin during his time at Hebron High School in Texas.But when he learned that the school district was going to offer a Chinese class,he quickly changed his mind.
“I think Chinese would be beneficial than Latin,” said Cheatham,who is now in his second year of studying the language.He speaks Chinese to order food at Chinese restaurants and reads social media posts from his Chinese-speaking friends.While it’s a difficult language to master,the high school student,who plans to study computer engineering,thinks it will be important for his career.“Chinese is a good language to know,especially with China becoming a growing power,” he said.
Many experts agree that proficiency (熟练) in a language spoken by about 1.4 billion people worldwide will give American students an edge in the global economy.
“People’s interest in Chinese is growing fast,” said Marty Abbott,director of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages.“We’re seeing it in all parts of the country.”
Abbott predicts that as many as 100,000 students are now studying Chinese in public and private schools,throughout the US.She said the US government had designated (指定) Chinese as an “important needs” language and provided professional development programs for teachers.“Our government wants to increase our language ability for national security and economic competitiveness,” Abbott added.
At the same time,the Chinese government is spreading knowledge of the Chinese language and culture through Confucius Institutes (孔子学院) set up in many US states.For example,the Confucius Institute at the University of Texas in Dallas has been the home of a Confucius Institute for more than 10 years.It sponsors Confucius Classrooms at 21 local public and private schools,where tens of thousands of students are learning Chinese.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要通过Thomas Cheatham学习汉语的例子说明了汉语在美国学生中越来越受欢迎的现象,许多专家认为,精通一门全世界14多亿人使用的语言将使美国学生在全球经济中占据优势。美国各地有多达10万名学生在公立和私立学校学习普通话。
1.What is Thomas Cheatham’s attitude towards learning Chinese?
A.He thinks it’s a waste of time and effort.
B.He finds it difficult but necessary for his career.
C.He doesn’t care about learning Chinese at all.
D.He thinks it’s easy to learn Chinese.
观点态度题。根据第二段中的“I think Chinese... important for his career.”可知,托马斯·切塔姆发现学习中文很难,但对他的事业来说是必要的。故选B。
√
2.The underlined word “edge” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.
A.advantage B.quality
C.outside D.challenge
词义猜测题。根据第二段内容可知,第二段举例说明了学习中文的好处,即优势,由此可推知,汉语是一门全世界约14亿人说的语言,许多专家认为熟练掌握中文的美国学生会在全球经济中有优势。由此可知,画线词edge意为“优势”,和A选项“advantage(优势)”意思相近。故选A。
√
3.Why does the US government want to increase American students’ language ability?
A.To learn more about Chinese history and politics.
B.To promote Chinese culture and language.
C.To improve international security.
D.To compete with other countries in the global economy.
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句可推知,美国政府提高美国学生的语言能力的原因是为了在全球经济中与其它国家竞争。故选D。
√
4.What is the purpose of the Confucius Institutes set up in the US?
A.To establish better relations between China and the US.
B.To spread knowledge of Chinese culture and history.
C.To promote Chinese language learning in the US.
D.To provide financial support for Chinese students in the US.
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段内容可推知,中国在美国设立孔子学院的目的是在美国促进汉语学习。故选C。
