Ⅴ.阅读理解
It is known to all that China developed so fast in the last decades(几十年). A lot of foreigners have seen its changes. Here are what they think.
James from the U.S.: Over the last several years, great changes have taken place in their lives. The life of my friend Wang Qi is a good example. When I first came to China, his family lived in a small house in a village. They never had spare money for snacks, clothing, or travel. But now they live in a big, comfortable apartment(公寓) near the city centre. They often go out to eat on weekends. They sometimes go shopping for fashionable clothes and like to travel during holidays.
Linda from Australia: I used to think “Made in China” was the bad quality, but now these three words represent(代表) the products with low prices and good quality. Since the popularity(流行) of Taobao, many foreigners feel like finding a door to another world, because the products they bought surprised them. They are also surprised by the new online payment, Alipay and WeChat Pay.
Emily from the U.K.: Transportation has been greatly changed in China in the past few years. In ancient times, people used to travel by horse or carriage(马车). Then people had buses, trains and ships. Now they have not only more private cars, but also planes and high-speed trains. All of the modern transport could offer people quick and pleasant travel. Now modern transportation has completely changed their lives.
The changes show China is developing fast. Its influence can be seen everywhere, and many foreigners have been attracted by its charm.
(　　)27.What is James talking about

B.Because the products made in China have low prices and good quality.
C.Because Taobao is very popular among them.
D.Because they like the new online payment.

A.4. B.6. C.8. D.10.
(　　)30.The underlined word “charm” in the last paragraph means “　　　　” in Chinese.

A.Wang Qi's family live a happy life now.
B.Linda thinks the quality of Chinese products is poor.

Ⅵ.任务型阅读
Recently, I asked some of my American friends what Chinese people are like. They used the words such as “smart”, “hard-working”, “serious”, “conservative”(保守的) and “a little bit like robots”. They also said Chinese was the most difficult language to learn. But I don't think so.
First of all, not all Chinese people have high IQs. Chinese students are hard-working and do well in American schools, so many Americans think Chinese people are smart. But scientists say there is no connection between races(种族) and intelligence(智力).
Second, not all Chinese people are conservative. If you walk down a Chinese street, you will see that not all the people wear clothes in dark colours. More and more Chinese like to wear clothes of different styles that show their personalities(个性).
Third, Chinese people are not serious or just like robots outside school or work. They are active. They have many different and interesting hobbies and do many activities in their free time. They live a colourful life.
Last, Chinese isn't the most difficult language to learn in the world. In fact, the grammar of Chinese is easier than that in many languages. Also, there are 50,000 characters in Chinese, but knowing 2,000 to 3,000 Chinese characters is enough to read news-papers and books.
