B
Before arriving in China, I had read lots of books about China. Therefore, when I arrived, I was excited to live in this huge historically and culturally rich country.
However, learning Chinese hadn't even entered my mind, not because I was lazy, but because I had no confidence to learn the most difficult language in the world. Besides this, once I moved to China, I lived in Shanghai. It is an international city, with many people speaking English as a second language. So I thought English would be sufficient.
But after a year in China I found many expats(侨民) spoke Chinese. Perhaps it was achievable after all I felt uncomfortable because so many Chinese people could speak
English while I couldn't even speak the most basic Chinese. To face the challenge, I decided to begin my language journey and my only regret was that I didn't start earlier.
Since I started to learn Chinese two years ago, I have made great progress. Now, I am able to talk in Chinese on many topics. Learning to speak Chinese isn't as difficult as I once expected. When I speak to Chinese people in Chinese, they almost always understand me. The most challenging thing is listening since Chinese people talk at such speed. I can't always understand what's been said, but my weekly online language exchange helps with this. Learning Chinese has taken a lot of hard work. But there is still a long way to go before I reach my goal of fluency(流利). Learning Chinese not only helps me in daytoday life, but deepens(加深) my cultural understanding of such a great country.
( )26.What did the writer do before arriving in China
A.He read a lot of books about China.
B.He studied Chinese online.
C.He learned to cook Chinese food.
D.He read lots of Chinese books.
( )27.What does the underlined word “sufficient” probably mean
A.Enough. B.Useless.
C.Improper. D.Impossible.
( )28.How long has the writer learned Chinese since he came to China
A.One year.
B.Two years.
C.Three years.
D.Four years.
( )29.Why does the writer think listening is the most challenging
A.Because he has a hearing problem.
B.Because Chinese people speak too fast.
C.Because Chinese is the most difficult language.
D.Because he doesn't know much on many topics.
( )30.What is the passage mainly about
A.A new opinion on learning.
B.Exploring the joy of learning Chinese.
C.The writer's journey of learning Chinese.
D.The value of learning a new language.

It was a hot summer day. Clara was drinking juice in the yard. Her mom was cutting grass with a lawnmower (割草机). The lawnmower was loud, and Clara wished her mom would play with her instead. But Mom said the grass was tall and had to be cut.
Suddenly, the lawnmower stopped. Clara's mom looked sad. Clara wondered what was wrong. Her mom picked something up out of the grass, and walked to Clara.
Clara's mom had a little turtle in her hand! As Clara looked closer, she saw that one of his legs was in bad shape. "I think I broke his leg." Clara's mom said. "I'm really sorry. Will you help me nurse (照料) him back to health "
Clara felt bad for the little turtle. A turtle moved slowly, so he probably could not run away when he saw the lawnmower coming. And Clara's mom could not see him in the tall grass! It was a mistake, but Clara and her mom would do something to make it right. Clara named the turtle Phillip.
They took Phillip to the vet (兽医). The vet took an X-ray of Phillip's leg, and made sure that it was broken. The turtle got a little splint (夹板) and bandage. The vet told Clara that the turtle needed plants to eat, water to drink and a place to live in. Clara and her mom bought a small tank (水箱) for Phillip on the way home.
At home, Clara took good care of Phillip. She put water and rocks in the tank. She brought him fruit and leaves to eat, and kept his tank clean.

Reading has become part of our life. It can not only open our minds, but also make us relaxed and more knowledgeable. Our study can be improved if we read more good books.
Many students have difficulty in reading. Some students don't like reading, because they think it is boring. Some students have no time to read. They think reading is a waste of time. In my opinion, we can learn a lot of interesting things from books as long as we keep reading.
Books are our friends, so let's read them from now on.
