检测题2:阅读理解

Lucas is a 22-year-old student from France. He has been studying Chinese language and culture at Peking University for two years. When he first arrived in Beijing, he felt a little nervous because everything was new to him—the language, the food, and the way people lived. But now, he says China has become his second home.
One of the biggest surprises for Lucas was the food. He used to think Chinese food was just fried rice and noodles, but he soon discovered a world of delicious dishes. His favorite is Peking duck, and he often goes to a small restaurant near his campus with his Chinese friends. "The food here is so flavorful," he says. "Every province has its own special dishes, and I want to try them all!"
Studying in China has also helped Lucas improve his Chinese quickly. At first, he could only say a few simple words, but now he can have long conversations with his classmates and even watch Chinese TV shows without subtitles. He practices every day by talking to street vendors, asking for directions, or chatting with his roommates. "The best way to learn a language is to use it," Lucas says. "Chinese people are very friendly—they are always patient when I make mistakes."
In his free time, Lucas likes to explore Beijing. He has visited the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and many ancient hutongs. He also enjoys joining campus activities, like the Chinese calligraphy club and the martial arts team. "These activities help me learn more about Chinese culture and make new friends," he explains. Last month, he even went to Xi'an with his classmates to see the Terracotta Army. "It was amazing! I felt like I was traveling back in time."
Lucas says his time in China has been unforgettable. "I not only learned a lot about Chinese culture but also made friends from all over the world," he says. "After graduation, I want to work in a company that connects China and France. I hope to be a bridge between the two cultures."

Dear Diary,
Yesterday was the worst Saturday ever. It all started when Dad said we needed to "spend quality family time" instead of playing video games. I tried to argue—my new game "Zombie Apocalypse 3" was supposed to release its final level that morning—but Dad wouldn't listen. He even hid my game controller in the kitchen cabinet.
Mom suggested we make pancakes together. At first, I thought it might be okay. But then Rodrick, my older brother, decided to "help." He poured three cups of sugar into the batter instead of three tablespoons. When Mom tried to flip the first pancake, it stuck to the pan and burned. Rodrick laughed so hard he spilled his orange juice all over the table.
After the pancake disaster, Dad said we should go for a hike in the park. Manny, my little brother, brought his favorite teddy bear, Mr. Fluffypants. Halfway through the hike, Manny dropped Mr. Fluffypants into a mud puddle. He started crying so loud that a group of squirrels ran up a tree. Dad had to carry Manny on his shoulders the whole way back, and I had to carry the muddy teddy bear. By the time we got home, I was covered in dirt and my feet hurt.
I ran to the kitchen to get my game controller, but it was gone! I asked Mom where it was. She said, "Oh, I gave it to Rodrick. He said he needed it to 'test something'." I found Rodrick in his room—playing "Zombie Apocalypse 3" on his computer! He had swapped my controller for his old one that doesn't even work.
I yelled at Rodrick, and we started fighting. Mom came in and sent both of us to our rooms without dinner. Now I'm sitting on my bed, staring at Rodrick's broken controller. Tomorrow, I'm going to hide his drumsticks. That'll teach him to mess with my video games.

When he first arrived in Beijing, he felt a little nervous because everything was new to him—the language, the food, and the way people lived. But now, he says China has become his second home. One of the biggest surprises for Lucas was the food. He used to think Chinese food was just fried rice and noodles, but he soon discovered a world of delicious dishes. His favorite is Peking duck, and he often goes to a small restaurant near his campus with his Chinese friends. "The food here is so flavorful," he says. "Every province has its own special dishes, and I want to try them all!" Studying in China has also helped Lucas improve his Chinese quickly. At first, he could only say a few simple words, but now he can have long conversations with his classmates and even watch Chinese TV shows without subtitles. He practices every day by talking to street vendors, asking for directions, or chatting with his roommates. "The best way to learn a language is to use it," Lucas says. "Chinese people are very friendly—they are always patient when I make mistakes." In his free time, Lucas likes to explore Beijing. He has visited the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and many ancient hutongs. He also enjoys joining campus activities, like the Chinese calligraphy club and the martial arts team. "These activities help me learn more about Chinese culture and make new friends," he explains. Last month, he even went to Xi'an with his classmates to see the Terracotta Army. "It was amazing! I felt like I was traveling back in time." Lucas says his time in China has been unforgettable. "I not only learned a lot about Chinese culture but also made friends from all over the world," he says. "After graduation, I want to work in a company that connects China and France. I hope to be a bridge between the two cultures." 1. What does Lucas study at Peking University? A. English language and literature B. Chinese language and culture C. French history and art D. International business 2. Why did Lucas feel nervous when he first arrived in Beijing? A. He didn't like Chinese food B. He couldn't find his campus C. Everything was new to him D.

Travel around China for a year C. Work in a company connecting China and France D. Study Chinese culture further B Dear Diary, Yesterday was the worst Saturday ever. It all started when Dad said we needed to "spend quality family time" instead of playing video games. I tried to argue—my new game "Zombie Apocalypse 3" was supposed to release its final level that morning—but Dad wouldn't listen. He even hid my game controller in the kitchen cabinet. Mom suggested we make pancakes together. At first, I thought it might be okay. But then Rodrick, my older brother, decided to "help." He poured three cups of sugar into the batter instead of three tablespoons. When Mom tried to flip the first pancake, it stuck to the pan and burned. Rodrick laughed so hard he spilled his orange juice all over the table. After the pancake disaster, Dad said we should go for a hike in the park. Manny, my little brother, brought his favorite teddy bear, Mr. Fluffypants. Halfway through the hike, Manny dropped Mr. Fluffypants into a mud puddle. He started crying so loud that a group of squirrels ran up a tree. Dad had to carry Manny on his shoulders the whole way back, and I had to carry the muddy teddy bear. By the time we got home, I was covered in dirt and my feet hurt. I ran to the kitchen to get my game controller, but it was gone! I asked Mom where it was. She said, "Oh, I gave it to Rodrick. He said he needed it to 'test something'." I found Rodrick in his room—playing "Zombie Apocalypse 3" on his computer! He had swapped my controller for his old one that doesn't even work. I yelled at Rodrick, and we started fighting. Mom came in and sent both of us to our rooms without dinner. Now I'm sitting on my bed, staring at Rodrick's broken controller. Tomorrow, I'm going to hide his drumsticks. That'll teach him to mess with my video games. —Greg Heffley 1.Why was Greg unhappy at the beginning of Saturday? A. His game controller was hidden B.
