Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) Growing up in America as a child of first-generation Chinese immigrants, I was used to living in two worlds. But as I grew older, the Chinese side faded away, inch by inch. While I happily accepted the bills tucked in red envelopes that adults gave to children for Lunar New Year and consumed my weight in mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I didn't feel connected to the culture. Before my children were born I had already decided that I would teach them Mandarin (普通话). I felt that they ought to be able to speak the language of their grandparents, the first language their mother encountered. Parenting books advised narrating your actions while with your baby, so I started digging out long-buried words:"ball", "eat", "sleep", "play". However, as this exercise continued, the gaps in my Mandarin became more and more obvious. One morning, when my daughter asked "What is the word for 'arm'?" I panicked. Had I already reached the boundaries of my knowledge? Luckily, these days the ready availability of Chinese language media -- from books to television shows to music -- is a much-needed boon (福音) to parents like me: second-generation immigrants who want to pass the language on to their children. The first time I stepped into the local library in my Bay Area hometown, I was amazed to find a well-stocked Chinese section in the children's wing. The tale of the Monkey King and the legend of Chang'e immediately caught my daughter's imagination. When I see my son converse with his grandfather in Mandarin or when my daughter insists on fish for Lunar New Year, the time spent reading all those books closely feels well-spent. My youngest child recited Li Bai's Quiet Night Thoughts for the Moon Festival performance at his preschool last fall. For generations of Chinese children, it's the first piece of literature they memorize. It's performed for all occasions, but most often for the Moon Festival. Its four lines describe how the glow of the full moon reminds the poet of his distant home. Decades ago, my Chinese teacher explained to me how the steadfast (坚定不移的) moon connects all those who seek its light, no matter how far apart they are. So, too, does language. It influences culture and history and memory, and connects future generations to past ones. Before my bed the bright moon's glow Seems like frost on the ground Raising my head, I gaze at the moon Lowering my head,I think of home My son's voice rang out with confidence and his arms swept up to indicate the moon above. Joy and wonder lit up my father's face as he listened to the familiar verses from the mouth of his grandson: verses that had been spoken by my father and my grandparents when they were students in China, and by countless boys and girls before that. 52.We can learn from the first paragraph that the author A. was brought up in an all-English environment B. once lost her sense of belonging to Chinese culture C. was deeply attracted by Chinese culture when she was a child D. preferred Lunar New Year and the Mid-Autumn Festival to any other festival 53.According to the article, how did the author teach her children Mandarin? ①By sending them to a Chinese school in the Bay Area. ②By bringing them to the local library to read Chinese books. ③By speaking the words of her actions in Mandarin while with them. ④By making use of Chinese language media, such as books, television shows and music. A.①②③ B.①②④ C.①③④ D.②③④ 54.According to the article, when she realized that her children were very interested in Chinese culture, the author A. felt reconnected to Chinese culture B. was full of hope for the inheritance of Chinese culture C.thought of her own experience of learning Chinese as a child D. felt that all her efforts to teach them Mandarin had been worth it 55.What's the main idea of this article? A Language plays an important role in passing down family traditions. B. Language and culture are capable of connecting people throughout time and space. C. Learning Chinese poems is a great way to deepen your knowledge of the Chinese language. D. Knowing the Chinese language will provide you with a better understanding of Chinese culture. (B) Movie makers constantly seek new ways to draw people into theaters. Over the years, they've added sound and color, widescreen formats, and advanced computer-generated imagery to enhance the movie-going experience. Many special effects started as gimmicks (噱头) but have become essential components of big-budget films, while others had more temporary appeal. One peculiar gimmick was the effort to add odors (气味) to movies. Several serious attempts were made to enhance films with odors. In 1959, Behind the Great Wall used 50 odors through a theater's air-conditioning system. In 1969, producer Mike Todd Jr. introduced Smell-O-Vision for Scent of a Mystery, releasing scents like pipe smoke and food to each seat. The film failed, and Smell-O-Vision disappeared from the industry. Another filmmaker, William Castle, employed various inexpensive gimmicks to attract audiences to his low-budget horror films. For Macabre (1963), he offered $1,000 life insurance policies in case viewers died of fright. In Thirteen Ghosts, he used "Illusion-O," providing handheld ghost glasses that allowed viewers to see or remove the ghosts. Although these gimmicks were only marginally successful and often caused more laughter than screams, Castle's movies were entertaining and profitable. Thirteen Ghosts was even remade in 2001. The 1975 movie Earthquake introduced Sensurround Sound, promising sound powerful enough to "crack ribs." This effect was achieved using large subwoofer speakers that emitted powerful vibrations (震动). However, the vibrations disturbed audiences in neighbouring theaters, leading most theater owners to abandon Sensurround. Only three more films -- Midway (1976), Rollercoaster (1977), and Battlestar Galactica (1978) featured the effect. The most famous special effect is 3-D. Studios experimented with three-dimensional photography as early as 1922, but the first hit 3-D movie was House of Wax in 1953. This effect requires special glasses to provide each eye with a slightly different image, creating a sense of depth. Although dozens of 3-D movies were released between 1953 and 1955, technical problems and eyestrain complaints caused the novelty to wear off. For the next 40 years, 3-D films became less common, primarily associated with IMAX releases. However, with improved technology, 3-D has made a comeback. In 2009, a 3-D film made nearly $2.8 billion worldwide, ensuring that more 3-D movies will follow. Even though some gimmicks failed, others were linked to box office successes. With advancing technology, new gimmicks will continue to emerge, potentially offering even more exciting experiences for moviegoers. 56.What can be learned about William Castle's gimmicks? A. They scared viewers greatly.B. They didn't cost much to make. C. They didn't help to attract viewers.D. They are still seen in today's movies. 57.What do Smell-O-Vision and Sensurround Sound have in common? A. Neither featured sensory effects.B. Neither was widely adopted in theaters. C. Both were created by the same filmmaker.D. Both involved visual enhancements to movies. 58.Which statement about 3-D movies is true according to the passage? A. 3-D technology was mainly used for horror films before 2009.B.3-D movies were first introduced in the1970s. C. 3-D movies were popular from the 1950s to the 1990s.D. The first hit 3-D movie was released in 1953. 59.What is the main idea of the passage? A. The history of movie technologyB. The emergence and decline of 3-D movies. C. The evolution and impact of gimmicks in movies.D. The financial success of movies with special effects. Section C 8% Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A So it's not easy for English speakers to label place values clearly. B. The additional mental steps needed to solve problems cause more errors. C Differences between Chinese and English, in particular, have been studied for decades. D. This method is a powerful tool for solving more advanced multi-digit addition and subtraction problems. E. Different languages indicate different ways of thinking, causing people to solve math problems differently. F. That makes it easier for children to understand the place value as well as making it clear that the number system is based on units of 10. The Best Language for Math What's the best language for learning math? Hint: You're not reading it. Chinese. Japanese and Korean use simpler number words and express math concepts more clearly than English. The language gap is drawing growing attention as confusing English number words have been linked in several studies to weaker counting and arithmetic skill in children in English-speaking countries. ______60______ Among the researchers are Karen Fuson, a professor in the School of Education at Northwestern University, and Li Yeping, an expert on Chinese math education at Texas A&M University. Chinese has just nine number words,while English has more than two dozen. The trouble starts at "11". English has a unique word for the number, while Chinese (as well as Japanese and Korean, among other languages) have words that can be translated as "ten-one" -- spoken with the "ten" first. ______61______ English number words over 10 don't as clearly label place values. Number words for the teens reverse the order of the ones and "teens", making it easy for children to confuse, say, 17 with 71. As a result, children working with English-number words have a harder time doing multi-digit addition and subtraction (减法).______62______ It also feels more natural for Chinese speakers than for English speakers to use the "make-a-ten" addition and subtraction strategy. When adding two numbers, students break down the numbers into parts and regroup them into tens and ones. For instance, 9 plus 5 becomes 9 plus 1 plus 4. ______63______ Many teachers in America have increased instruction in the make-a-ten method and called for first-graders to use it to add and subtract. Now, you should feel lucky that you are learning math in China. Thanks to your mother tongue, all math problems just come less confusing and difficult to you! IV.
