Sarah is a British student from Woodpark School in London. She is visiting Xinhua Junior High School in Beijing on an 1 (education) exchange with her group members.
She lives in a friendly host family. As a guest, she has learnt 2 (use) chopsticks. They also are teaching her a little Chinese.
From Monday 3 Friday, she spends school time studying with Chinese students. At the weekend, she 4 (tour) around Beijing and visits places of interest with her host family.
So far it 5 (be) a fantastic experience. Eric, one of Sarah’s group members, has learnt to play t’ ai chi. He is very interested in Chinese culture and history. The teachers gave an 6 (introduce) on Chinese painting to him. He has tried to paint some pictures, but he wasn’t very 7 (succeed). But he will keep 8 (try).
Sarah has made friends with some Chinese students. She plans 9 (keep) in touch with them after she returns home. She hopes to see them soon because her new friends are going to come over to Britain for the 10 (two) part of the exchange in the coming month. She says she can’t wait!
Dear Laura,
Thanks for your message. Yes, I’m having a great time on my exchange programme in France. I was a bit nervous before I arrived here, but there was no reason to be. My host family is really nice.
They go out of their way 1 (make) me feel at home. The grandmother has a teenage granddaughter at about 2 (I) age who is really kind. She always talks to me in French to help me practise. And you wouldn’t believe how quickly my French has 3 (improve)! I’m very comfortable speaking French now. Though I still make lots of 4 (mistake), it doesn’t worry me as it used to.
My biggest challenge is learning how to behave at the dinner table. 5 you can imagine, things are really different from the way they are at home. For example, you shouldn’t put your bread on your plate. You 6 (suppose) to put it on the table! I thought that was pretty strange 7 first, but now I’m used to it. You shouldn’t eat anything with your hands except bread, not even fruit. You have to cut it up and eat it with a fork. Another thing is that it is very 8 (polite) to say you’re full. If you don’t want any more food, you should just say, “It was delicious.” Also, you shouldn’t put your elbows on the table. I have to say that I find it difficult to remember everything, but I’m 9 (gradual) getting used to it. I don’t find French customs so strange any more.
I’ll write again soon and tell you more about my life in France. Hope you are having 10 good school year.
Yours,
Lin Yue
The best way to learn a new language is to make friends with local people. Lily is from the UK. She had d 1 in speaking Chinese when she came to China at first. She felt l 2 because she didn’t have any friends at school. Later, she tried her best to use body language to e 3 her ideas. Then she made a lot of Chinese friends. They o 4 parties and a lot of other activities for her. Friendship brought Lily much j 5 and raised her spirits. She also got more chances to practise speaking Chinese. The ability to speak Chinese gave her much confidence in a new life.
二、完形填空
After a few weeks in China, I started to notice something strange at the dinner table. I was in a restaurant with my friends when, beside us on 1 table, a group of four men were 2 at each other and waving (挥舞) their money around. I finally learned that they were actually “fighting” to 3 the bill!
This scene made me 4 what that would look like in the UK. It would be almost unheard of. In a British restaurant, you’ll just pay for yourself. It’s called “splitting (分开) the bill”.
I guess there is one 5 that could explain some of the differences between East and West. How you pay the bill depends on how you order, as well as how you eat. Usually in Chinese restaurants, the group decides on each dish, 6 the group eats all of the dishes. Can you imagine trying to work out how to split the bill if you’re all sharing!
It is 7 for Western-style food. Each person chooses the food that he or she wants. 8 isn’t often practiced. So it’s 9 to pay for what you ordered. I personally enjoy both practices. It’s nice to treat your friends to dinner 10 . And it’s nice to be treated. And on days when I eat Western food, I know there will be no “fighting” over who should pay!
1.A.another B.others C.other D.the other
2.A.laughing B.shouting C.fighting D.working
3.A.check B.leave C.refuse D.pay
4.A.care about B.worry about C.think of D.agree with

9.A.strange B.simple C.quick D.creative
10.A.often B.always C.never D.sometimes

There are many festivals around the world. Dads have Father’s Day. Mums have Mother’s Day. But do our grandparents have a 1 ? Yes, they do.
The Double Ninth Festival is a 2 day for old people in China. The festival is on lunar (农历) September 9th. On this day, people show 3 and respect (尊敬) for their grandparents.
Respecting old people is a tradition in China. There are many ways for Chinese people to 4 their respect. When an old person enters a room, everyone should stand up. Also, people are introduced from the 5 to the youngest. When we give something to an old person, two hands are used. The old usually don’t have to buy tickets for buses and young people always 6 their seats to old people on a crowded subway or bus.
However, in Western countries, old people have 7 lifestyles from those in China. They don’t often live with their children—they live 8 . They don’t want to get help from others. They even don’t want to be offered seats by others.
Westerners 9 respect old people. For holidays, families usually 10 at the grandparents’ homes.
A great smile and a warm hug are enough for grown children to show their respect.

三、语法选择
It is said that a new culture can always keep your eyes and your mind open. Now I am studying in Russia as 1 exchange student. I learn about it from my own experience.
One of 2 differences is about people’s way of life. One day, a Russian friend invited me to a well-known restaurant in Moscow. I 3 to try local food. After arriving there, I found nothing on the table but some small plates. To my great surprise, on the plates there 4 only a few slices of tomatoes, nuts, and several pieces of onions. 5 the dishes were simple, we drank a lot and I felt the passion (热情) from the bottom of my friend’s heart. In China, when we invite our friends or relatives, we always provide 6 with a big dinner with all kinds of dishes. We like to prepare 7 we can to show our friendliness.
8 Russian custom also surprises me greatly. As we know, it is 9 cold in winter there that it takes a lot of courage to just go outside. However, when winter comes, Russians enjoy 10 . They even take their kids outside to swim. Like their parents, Russian kids rub (揉擦) their bodies 11 snow before jumping into the water. The water is freezing cold, but they all play 12 in it! Sometimes they invite us to join them, but we have to say no, because it is really difficult for us 13 it just like them!

四、阅读理解
Living in a foreign culture can be exciting, but it can also be confusing (令人困惑的). A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences. They agreed that misunderstandings and miscommunication (错误传达) were always possible, even over something as simple as “yes” and “no”.
On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific, Lisa thought people weren’t paying any attention to her. The day was hot. She went into a store and asked, “Do you have cold drinks?” The woman there didn’t say anything. Lisa repeated the question: Still the woman said nothing. She later learned that the woman had answered her. She had raised her eyebrows (眉毛), which in Micronesia means “yes”.
Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that was known for its cabbage. She asked the waiter, “Do you have cabbage today?” He nodded his head. Jan waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod (点头) means “no”.
Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his students if they understood. They answered with different nods and shakes (摇头) of the head. He thought some people had not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing. He soon found out that his students did understand. In India, people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on where they come from. You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean “yes” or “no”.
1.These Americans teaching English in other countries found that they ________.
A.should go abroad for vacations B.needed to learn foreign languages
C.should often discuss their experiences D.had problems with communication

A.Body language in foreign restaurants. B.Class discussion in Indian schools.

How do people from all over the world spend their free time? Let’s have a look.
◆InternetPeople from Canada spend about 43.5 hours online every week, 8 hours longer than Americans. Canada has long cold winters, so people spend lots of time at home.
◆Outdoors
People from New Zealand spend most of their free time outdoors. The countryside there is great for mountain climbing and water sports.
◆Bars
Spain has a lot of bars. In Spain, a bar is for families, not just drinkers. It’s a meeting place and often an eating place. When none of your family or friends are free, you can still go to a bar by yourself. People around you in the bar may ask you to join them.
◆Museums
The UK has six of the top 20 most visited museums in the world, such as the National Gallery (美术馆), the British Museum and Tate Modern.
◆Parties
As for parties, most people will think of Brazil. Its carnival (狂欢节) is famous all around the world. Bangkok and Berlin are two of the best cities for partying. In Bangkok, you can meet friendly people and visit great nightclubs. In Berlin, you can enjoy beautiful music on the streets.
◆Exercising
In Greece and Estonia, over 80 percent of people exercise every day. The Olympic sports are very popular in these two countries, but Estonia has a very special game: ice cricket (冰上板球)!

In Chinese, what word do you usually use to call your mother? It’s “Mama”, isn’t it? And as you know, in America, kids call their mother “Mom” or “Mommy”. In French, the word is “Maman” and in Arabic, it’s “Ummi”.
Have you noticed what these words for “mother” have in common? Well, they all have a sound close to “m”. Similarly, the words for “father” almost all have the sound “b” or “p”. There are over 7,000 languages around the world. The words for other things are usually very different from one language to another. But why are the words for “mother” and “father” so similar?
The answer lies in how babies start to talk. The easiest sound a baby can make is “ah”. A child can make this sound without the use of his tongue (舌头) or lips. Then, if he is going to change things a little bit, the easiest thing to do is to break up that sound by closing his lips for a while. The child, by this point, has long been doing this to suck (吸吮) milk. And so, the baby ends up with the sound “mah”.
Babies “speaking” in this way are just playing. Adults, however, don’t hear them that way. When a baby says “mah mah”, it sounds as if he is calling someone. And the person that the child is calling upon so early in his life is most likely to be his mother. The mother takes “mah” as meaning her. When speaking to her child, she calls herself “mama”. The word “mama” starts to mean “mother”. This happens with human babies worldwide.
After babies begin making “m” with their lips, they put their lips together and pick up the sound “bah” or “pah”. When they make this sound, they are thought to be calling their second closest caretaker (监护人): their father.
That’s why you call your mother “mama” and your father “baba”. You have been doing this ever since you started to make sounds.
1.All over the world, the words for “father” almost all have the sound ________.
A.“m” B.“b” C.“b” or “p” D.“m” or “p”
2.What is the easiest sound a baby can make?
A.“Ah”. B.“Mah”. C.“Pah”. D.“Bah”.
3.According to the article, when babies make the sound “mah”, they are ________.
A.playing B.calling their mother
C.calling their father D.saying they are hungry
4.In order to make the sound “bah”, babies ________.
A.bite their lips B.put their lips together
C.close their lips for a short time D.use neither their tongue nor their lips
5.We can learn from the article that ________.
A.some babies find it difficult to make the sound “mah”
B.babies in ancient times did not call their mother “mah mah”
C.babies all over the world call their father “bah ba” or “pah pah”
D.babies pick up the sound “mah” before they pick up the sound “pah”
When we compare schools in the U.S. and China, even though there are many differences, we can find quite a few unexpected similarities.
Students in both countries have a lot in common in some ways. This includes their experiences with popular culture such as technology and social media, their shared care for the environment, and the fact that all of them were greatly influenced by COVID-19.
Students in both countries are part of what can be called a “TikTok culture”, though this Chinese app is probably more popular in the U.S. than in China itself. The Chinese term “kuaicanshi yule” (fast-food type entertainment) is a better way to say it. It describes “snackable content”— short and attractive media made for fast-changing online trends that try to get people’s limited attention. No matter what app or device they use, students have been greatly influenced by technology, in both good and bad ways. In fact, Chinese students do face stricter rules from their schools about using social media, but many are good at finding ways to get around them.
What’s more, students in both countries are interested in similar trends (趋向) in fashion, food, music, and film. A good example is that they often know about the latest popular things, like popular TV series, in similar ways.
In the end, what students in both countries want most is the same: a good, successful, and safe life. Their education systems help them in different ways, and both can learn from each other. This idea is even more important in our globalized world. Together, we need to solve worldwide problems like climate change and diseases, and also deal with (处理) disagreements between the U.S. and China. Here we find a common challenge: the education systems in both countries do not help students fully understand each other. This is not new, but it surely needs our serious attention.
1.What can we learn about the students in the U.S. and China from Paragraph 2?
A.They show no interest in traditional culture.
B.They have chances to experience social media.
C.They are pleased with their living environment.
D.They were hardly influenced by COVID-19.
2.What do Chinese students face about using social media in school?
A.Rules to control them. B.Support from parents.
C.Encouragement from schools. D.The risk of leaving school.
3.What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?
A.To show the problems both sides need to solve.
B.To tell readers that students in China work harder.
C.To describe how schools in both countries are similar.
D.To explain how technology influences students’ lives.
4.Which of the following can be the best title?
A.Young Lives, Same World B.Schools of America and China
C.Why Students Are Different D.How to Understand Other Countries
All around the world, people drink tea. But in different countries, people have very different ideas about drinking tea. 1
2 The Chinese drink it at any time of the day at home or in tea houses. They like to drink plain tea (清茶) best.
Tea is very important in Japan. The Japanese have a special way of serving tea called the “tea ceremony (仪式)”. It is very old and full of meanings. People do everything in a special way in the ceremony. 3
Another tea drinking country is England, and the late afternoon is people’s “teatime”. Almost everyone has a cup of tea then. The British usually make tea in a teapot (茶壶) and drink it with milk and sugar. 4
In the United States, people drink tea mostly for breakfast or after meals. Americans usually use tea bags to make their tea. 5 In summer, many Americans drink “iced tea”.
A.There is even a special room for it in Japanese homes.
B.They also eat cakes, chocolate and a few candies at teatime.
C.Here are some countries and their tea-drinking habits.
D.It is fast and easy to use tea bags to make tea.
E.Tea is very nice for some old people.
F.In China, for example, people always serve (提供) the tea when people get together.
阅读下面短文, 从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填人短文空白处的最佳项, 使短文通顺、连贯, 意思完整。
In different countries, people have different opinions about numbers. For example, Americans don’t like number 13. If they invite some friends for dinner and it happened that there are 13 people sitting at the table, the host will invite another friend to join them. 1 Americans always plan to get married on July 7th.
2 Because it sounds like the word “death” in Chinese. Because of this, many buildings skip (跳) the fourth floor. 3 In Hong Kong, some buildings even skip all floors numbered with 4, such as 4, 14, 24, 34 and all 40-49 floors. Some buildings also skip the 13th floor, because this is seen as an unlucky number in the west. 4 so what’s a “lucky” number in China? The Chinese pronunciation of the number “8” has almost the same sound as that of the Chinese character “发[fa:]”, which means making a fortune. 5 Some people will even spend a lot of money to have the number 8 in their phone numbers or vehicle license plate (车牌照) numbers. For example, The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics began at 8:08 pm.on August 8, 2008. Everybody thinks it was a good day.
A.And simply they call it the fifth floor.
B.But they think number 7 is a good number.
C.So, people think it is a very lucky number.
D.In China, the most unlucky number is four.
E.As a result, a building whose highest floor is 50 may have only 35 physical floors.

【导语】本文主要讲述的是Sarah在中国进行教育交换活动以及她小组的一个成员的事情。
1.句意:她和她的小组成员在一次教育交流里参观了在北京的新华中学。根据前面定冠词“an”以及后面单词“exchange”可以判断此处应填一个形容词,来修饰后面的exchange。又因为education是名词,其形容词形式为educational,故填educational。
2.句意:她已经学会了使用筷子。根据前面的“learnt”,可知learn的用法为learn to do sth,又因为use是动词,故此空应为to use,故填to use。

6.句意:老师们给他做了中国画的介绍。根据短语give sb.sth.以及不定冠词“an”可以判断此处应填一个单数名词,因为introduce是动词,故用其名词形式introduction。故填introduction。
7.句意:但是他并没有很多成功。根据“he wasn’t very”可以判断此处应填一个形容词,因为succeed是动词,所以用其形容词形式successful,故填successful。
8.句意:但是他将会一直尝试。keep doing sth.“保持做某事”,所以此处应填try的-ing形式trying,故填trying。
9.句意:她计划回国后与他们保持联系。分析本句,考查plan to do sth“计划做某事”,固定短语,因此此处应该填动词不定式。故填to keep。
10.句意:她希望很快能见到他们,因为她的新朋友下个月将会来英国参加交换活动的第二部分。根据前面的“the”可以判断“the+序数词”表示第几个,因此此处应填two的序数词second表示第二部分的交换。故填second。
Dear Laura,
Thanks for your message. Yes, I’m having a great time on my exchange programme in France. I was a bit nervous before I arrived here, but there was no reason to be. My host family is really nice.
They go out of their way 1 (make) me feel at home. The grandmother has a teenage granddaughter at about 2 (I) age who is really kind. She always talks to me in French to help me practise. And you wouldn’t believe how quickly my French has 3 (improve)! I’m very comfortable speaking French now. Though I still make lots of 4 (mistake), it doesn’t worry me as it used to.
My biggest challenge is learning how to behave at the dinner table. 5 you can imagine, things are really different from the way they are at home. For example, you shouldn’t put your bread on your plate. You 6 (suppose) to put it on the table! I thought that was pretty strange 7 first, but now I’m used to it. You shouldn’t eat anything with your hands except bread, not even fruit. You have to cut it up and eat it with a fork. Another thing is that it is very 8 (polite) to say you’re full. If you don’t want any more food, you should just say, “It was delicious.” Also, you shouldn’t put your elbows on the table. I have to say that I find it difficult to remember everything, but I’m 9 (gradual) getting used to it. I don’t find French customs so strange any more.
I’ll write again soon and tell you more about my life in France. Hope you are having 10 good school year.
Yours,
Lin Yue
【答案】
1.to make 2.my 3.improved 4.mistakes 5.As 6.are supposed 7.at 8.impolite 9.gradually 10.a
【导语】本文主要讲述了作者林月向朋友劳拉讲述了自己在法国交换生项目中的经历和感受,重点描述了在寄宿家庭的生活以及法国餐桌礼仪的文化差异。
1.句意:他们想方设法让我有宾至如归的感觉。go out of one’s way to do sth意为“想方设法做某事”。故填to make。
2.句意:这位祖母有一个和我年龄相仿的十几岁孙女,她非常善良。设空处修饰名词age,需用形容词性物主代词my。故填my。
3.句意:你不会相信我的法语进步有多快!根据“has”可知,此处时态应用现在完成时,故空处用improve的过去分词improved。故填improved。
4.句意:虽然我仍然犯很多错误,但这不像以前那样困扰我。lots of后接可数名词复数mistakes。故填mistakes。
5.句意:正如你所想象的,这里的情况与家里完全不同。固定搭配“as you can imagine”表示“正如你所想象的”。故填As。
6.句意:你应该把它放在桌子上!be supposed to do sth意为“应该做某事”,为固定用法,符合语境。主语是You,时态为一般现在时,be用are。故填are supposed。
7.句意:起初我觉得这很奇怪,但现在我习惯了。at first“起初”,固定短语。故填at。
8.句意:另一件事是说“我饱了”是非常不礼貌的。 根据“If you don’t want any more food, you should just say, ‘It was delicious.’”可知,说吃饱了是不礼貌的,用形容词impolite“不礼貌的”,作表语。故填impolite。
9.句意:我不得不说,我觉得很难记住每件事,但我逐渐习惯了。此处应用副词修饰动词短语,gradual的副词形式为gradually。故填gradually。

【导语】本文主要讲述了莉莉学习中文的经历。
1.句意:她刚来中国时讲汉语有困难。根据“Lily is from the UK.”和“when she came to China at first.”可知,莉莉来自英国,所以刚开始学汉语是有困难的,have difficulty in doing sth“做某事有困难”。故填(d)ifficulty。
2.句意:她感到孤独,因为她在学校没有朋友。根据“because she didn’t have any friends at school”可知,莉莉在学校没有朋友,所以会感到孤独,lonely“孤独的”,是形容词。故填(l)onely。
3.句意:后来,她尽量用肢体语言来表达自己的想法。根据上文可知,莉莉学习汉语有困难,所以她用肢体语言表达自己的想法,express“表达”,是动词;此处也可填动词explain,表示“解释自己的想法”,to后接动词原形。故填(e)xpress/(e)xplain。
4.句意:他们为她组织了聚会和许多其他活动。根据“parties and a lot of other activities”可知,此处指组织聚会和许多其他活动,应用动词organize或organise,时态为一般过去时,对应过去式是organized/organised。故填(o)rganized/(o)rganised。
5.句意:友谊给莉莉带来了许多快乐,使她精神振奋。根据“raised her spirits”可知,友谊给莉莉带来了许多快乐,应填joy,是不可数名词。故填(j)oy。
二、完形填空
After a few weeks in China, I started to notice something strange at the dinner table. I was in a restaurant with my friends when, beside us on 1 table, a group of four men were 2 at each other and waving (挥舞) their money around. I finally learned that they were actually “fighting” to 3 the bill!
This scene made me 4 what that would look like in the UK. It would be almost unheard of. In a British restaurant, you’ll just pay for yourself. It’s called “splitting (分开) the bill”.
I guess there is one 5 that could explain some of the differences between East and West. How you pay the bill depends on how you order, as well as how you eat. Usually in Chinese restaurants, the group decides on each dish, 6 the group eats all of the dishes. Can you imagine trying to work out how to split the bill if you’re all sharing!
It is 7 for Western-style food. Each person chooses the food that he or she wants. 8 isn’t often practiced. So it’s 9 to pay for what you ordered. I personally enjoy both practices. It’s nice to treat your friends to dinner 10 . And it’s nice to be treated. And on days when I eat Western food, I know there will be no “fighting” over who should pay!
1.A.another B.others C.other D.the other

【答案】
1.A 2.B 3.D 4.C 5.A 6.A 7.C 8.D 9.B 10.D

7.句意:对于西餐来说,情况正好相反。

It is said that a new culture can always keep your eyes and your mind open. Now I am studying in Russia as 1 exchange student. I learn about it from my own experience.
One of 2 differences is about people’s way of life. One day, a Russian friend invited me to a well-known restaurant in Moscow. I 3 to try local food. After arriving there, I found nothing on the table but some small plates. To my great surprise, on the plates there 4 only a few slices of tomatoes, nuts, and several pieces of onions. 5 the dishes were simple, we drank a lot and I felt the passion (热情) from the bottom of my friend’s heart. In China, when we invite our friends or relatives, we always provide 6 with a big dinner with all kinds of dishes. We like to prepare 7 we can to show our friendliness.
8 Russian custom also surprises me greatly. As we know, it is 9 cold in winter there that it takes a lot of courage to just go outside. However, when winter comes, Russians enjoy 10 . They even take their kids outside to swim. Like their parents, Russian kids rub (揉擦) their bodies 11 snow before jumping into the water. The water is freezing cold, but they all play 12 in it! Sometimes they invite us to join them, but we have to say no, because it is really difficult for us 13 it just like them!

四、阅读理解
Living in a foreign culture can be exciting, but it can also be confusing (令人困惑的). A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences. They agreed that misunderstandings and miscommunication (错误传达) were always possible, even over something as simple as “yes” and “no”.
On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific, Lisa thought people weren’t paying any attention to her. The day was hot. She went into a store and asked, “Do you have cold drinks?” The woman there didn’t say anything. Lisa repeated the question: Still the woman said nothing. She later learned that the woman had answered her. She had raised her eyebrows (眉毛), which in Micronesia means “yes”.
Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that was known for its cabbage. She asked the waiter, “Do you have cabbage today?” He nodded his head. Jan waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod (点头) means “no”.
Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his students if they understood. They answered with different nods and shakes (摇头) of the head. He thought some people had not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing. He soon found out that his students did understand. In India, people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on where they come from. You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean “yes” or “no”.
1.These Americans teaching English in other countries found that they ________.
A.should go abroad for vacations B.needed to learn foreign languages
C.should often discuss their experiences D.had problems with communication

In Chinese, what word do you usually use to call your mother? It’s “Mama”, isn’t it? And as you know, in America, kids call their mother “Mom” or “Mommy”. In French, the word is “Maman” and in Arabic, it’s “Ummi”.
Have you noticed what these words for “mother” have in common? Well, they all have a sound close to “m”. Similarly, the words for “father” almost all have the sound “b” or “p”. There are over 7,000 languages around the world. The words for other things are usually very different from one language to another. But why are the words for “mother” and “father” so similar?
The answer lies in how babies start to talk. The easiest sound a baby can make is “ah”. A child can make this sound without the use of his tongue (舌头) or lips. Then, if he is going to change things a little bit, the easiest thing to do is to break up that sound by closing his lips for a while. The child, by this point, has long been doing this to suck (吸吮) milk. And so, the baby ends up with the sound “mah”.
Babies “speaking” in this way are just playing. Adults, however, don’t hear them that way. When a baby says “mah mah”, it sounds as if he is calling someone. And the person that the child is calling upon so early in his life is most likely to be his mother. The mother takes “mah” as meaning her. When speaking to her child, she calls herself “mama”. The word “mama” starts to mean “mother”. This happens with human babies worldwide.
After babies begin making “m” with their lips, they put their lips together and pick up the sound “bah” or “pah”. When they make this sound, they are thought to be calling their second closest caretaker (监护人): their father.
That’s why you call your mother “mama” and your father “baba”. You have been doing this ever since you started to make sounds.

When we compare schools in the U.S. and China, even though there are many differences, we can find quite a few unexpected similarities.
Students in both countries have a lot in common in some ways. This includes their experiences with popular culture such as technology and social media, their shared care for the environment, and the fact that all of them were greatly influenced by COVID-19.
Students in both countries are part of what can be called a “TikTok culture”, though this Chinese app is probably more popular in the U.S. than in China itself. The Chinese term “kuaicanshi yule” (fast-food type entertainment) is a better way to say it. It describes “snackable content”— short and attractive media made for fast-changing online trends that try to get people’s limited attention. No matter what app or device they use, students have been greatly influenced by technology, in both good and bad ways. In fact, Chinese students do face stricter rules from their schools about using social media, but many are good at finding ways to get around them.
What’s more, students in both countries are interested in similar trends (趋向) in fashion, food, music, and film. A good example is that they often know about the latest popular things, like popular TV series, in similar ways.
In the end, what students in both countries want most is the same: a good, successful, and safe life. Their education systems help them in different ways, and both can learn from each other. This idea is even more important in our globalized world. Together, we need to solve worldwide problems like climate change and diseases, and also deal with (处理) disagreements between the U.S. and China. Here we find a common challenge: the education systems in both countries do not help students fully understand each other. This is not new, but it surely needs our serious attention.

2.What do Chinese students face about using social media in school?

阅读下面短文, 从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填人短文空白处的最佳项, 使短文通顺、连贯, 意思完整。
In different countries, people have different opinions about numbers. For example, Americans don’t like number 13. If they invite some friends for dinner and it happened that there are 13 people sitting at the table, the host will invite another friend to join them. 1 Americans always plan to get married on July 7th.
2 Because it sounds like the word “death” in Chinese. Because of this, many buildings skip (跳) the fourth floor. 3 In Hong Kong, some buildings even skip all floors numbered with 4, such as 4, 14, 24, 34 and all 40-49 floors. Some buildings also skip the 13th floor, because this is seen as an unlucky number in the west. 4 so what’s a “lucky” number in China? The Chinese pronunciation of the number “8” has almost the same sound as that of the Chinese character “发[fa:]”, which means making a fortune. 5 Some people will even spend a lot of money to have the number 8 in their phone numbers or vehicle license plate (车牌照) numbers. For example, The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics began at 8:08 pm.on August 8, 2008. Everybody thinks it was a good day.
A.And simply they call it the fifth floor.
B.But they think number 7 is a good number.
C.So, people think it is a very lucky number.
D.In China, the most unlucky number is four.
E.As a result, a building whose highest floor is 50 may have only 35 physical floors.
【答案】1.B 2.D 3.A 4.E 5.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲了在不同国家人们对数字的看法不同,如美国人不喜 13、认为 7 吉利,中国人认为 4 不吉利、8 吉利,且香港的一些建筑会跳过含 4 和 13 的楼层。
1.根据“Americans always plan to get married on July 7th.”可知,此处是在说明美国人对数字7的看法,结合前文提到美国人不喜欢13,可推断他们认为7是好数字,选项B“但他们认为数字7是个好数字”符合语境。故选B。
2.根据“Because it sounds like the word ‘death’ in Chinese. Because of this, many buildings skip (跳) the fourth floor.”可知,此处是在介绍中国的不吉利数字,且该数字与“death”发音相关,选项D“在中国,最不吉利的数字是4”符合语境。故选D。
3.根据“many buildings skip (跳) the fourth floor.”和“In Hong Kong, some buildings even skip all floors numbered with 4...”可知,此处是说跳过4楼后对楼层编号的处理,选项A“并且他们简单地称它为5楼”符合语境。故选A。
4.根据“In Hong Kong, some buildings even skip all floors numbered with 4, such as 4, 14, 24, 34 and all 40-49 floors. Some buildings also skip the 13th floor...”可知,此处是说跳过多个楼层后,实际楼层数会减少,选项E“因此,一栋最高楼层为50层的建筑实际上可能只有35层”符合语境。故选E。
5.根据“The Chinese pronunciation of the number ‘8’ has almost the same sound as that of the Chinese character ‘发[fa:]’, which means making a fortune.”可知,此处是在说明数字8因发音与“发”相近而被认为是吉利数字,选项C“所以,人们认为它是一个非常吉利的数字”符合语境。故选C。
