Boris, a foreign student at Communication University of China, often shares his experiences of Chinese culture on his vlog (视频博客).
In one video, for example, Boris shared how he had learned the Chinese word dongxi. He translated each part separately into “east west”. And he introduced one theory (说法) about how dongxi came to mean “things”. He told people that all marketplaces in ancient Chinese cities were set up along a single road that ran from east to west. So when you would say qu mai dongxi. you’d be saying, “I’m going to buy things.”
Some other videos show his reading Chinese poems and performing kung fu in Chinese traditional costume, which are quite welcome among his 40, 000 followers.
“Many of my followers are learning Chinese,” Boris said. “But sadly, they know little about Chinese culture and the country.”
Like many foreigners, Boris once believed that all Chinese could perform kung fu, flying onto roofs and walking over walls. He thought the country was not that developed. But after he got a scholarship (奖学金) to study in China in 2019, his view changed. “China has entered a new period, but many people’s impressions of China are still stuck in the1970s,” Boris said. “That’s why I started to shoot vlogs to share Chinese culture in 2019.”
Until now, Boris has posted more than 40 Chinese culture vlogs online. But making these vlogs is not easy. Take reading the poem Second Farewell to Cambridge by Xu Zhimo as an example.
“I can understand and read every word in the poem,” Boris said. “But to touch readers, I need to use proper feelings while reading.” So he needed to look for much background information and make his feelings suit each part of the poem.
Though shooting these vlogs takes lots of time, the young man feels proud that his vlogs have inspired many people. Boris said that he wanted to continue bridging the differences between two cultures. “This goal may not be achieved easily, but I will spare no efforts to do my part.”
44. Through the vlogs, Boris mainly wants to ________.
A. teach foreigners Chinese B. introduce a Chinese university
C. sell Chinese products D. share his experiences in China
45. Boris learned the Chinese word dongxi by ________.
A. translating it as a whole B. knowing its cultural background
C. making up some sentences D. comparing it with similar words
46. What inspired Boris to shoot vlogs
A. His hunger for new technology. B. His wish to show the real China.
C. His interest in Chinese culture. D. His dream to be a big vlogger.
47. The poem Second Farewell to Cambridge is mentioned to ________.
A. meet the followers’ needs B. express Boris’s love for poems
C. show Boris’s efforts at vlog-making D. give an example of Chinese culture
【答案】19. D 20. B 21. B 22. C
【解析】本文主要讲述了一位外国学生Boris在博客上分享学习中国文化的经历，包括他学到的一些词语的来历，中国诗歌，表演中国功夫，他的视频激励了许多人，Boris想通过这个来继续弥合两种文化之间的差异。
19. 细节理解题。根据“Boris, a foreign student at Communication University of China, often shares his experiences of Chinese culture on his vlog”可知，通过博客想分享他在中国的经历，故选D。
20. 推理判断题。根据第二段的内容，尤其“He told people that all marketplaces in ancient Chinese cities were set up along a single road that ran from east to west”可知，通过了解文化背景来学习“东西”这个词的含义，故选B。
21. 推理判断题。根据“China has entered a new period, but many people’s impressions of China are still stuck in the 1970s,” Boris said. “That’s why I started to shoot vlogs to share Chinese culture in 2019”可知，他了解到许多人对中国的印象还停留在20世纪70年代，他想通过视频来让人们了解中国的现状，了解真正的中国，故选B。

When I was little, I was really little. But my dream was big. I dreamed of being a basketball player. I tried out for the teams at school, but I was never given a chance.
As I got older, I did grow a little bigger, but not a lot bigger. On my 12th birthday, I decided to try a new sport: running. I told Grandpa. “I’m going to be an athlete.”
“Dave.” Grandpa began gently, “if you can’t be big, you can do something big.”
I ran 12 miles on my 12th birthday. On my 13th birthday, I did it again, but I added an extra mile. On my 14th birthday, I ran 14 miles. 15 on my 15th, 16 on my 16th, and you guessed it—17 miles on my 17th birthday.
All this running inspired（激发）another big dream. Someday, I’d run the Boston Marathon（波士顿马拉松赛）. I told Grandpa about my decision.
“But, Dave, you haven’t trained for the marathon. Are you sure you’re ready ” Grandpa asked. But he still promised to walk over and cheer me on.
I ran fast that day, But I fell at Mile 18 and was driven to the hospital. Later that night, I called Grandpa and told him I failed.
“No,” he said calmly, “you didn’t fail. You discovered something.”
“I did ” I asked.
“Yes, you discovered that big dreams don’t just come true. They take work. If you train and work hard, I promise to wait for you next year and cheer you on.”
I trained every day, running miles and miles. Sadly, just two months into my training, Grandpa died. He wouldn’t be waiting for my second Boston Marathon. I decided I’d run for him.
That day, I ran fast. “Keep going! You can do it!” His words filled my head as I forced my legs to make each painful step. As I crossed the finish line, I threw my arms in the air and cried, “Grandpa, we did it!”
23. Why did Dave fail to join the school basketball team
A. He couldn’t run fast. B. He didn’t work hard.
C. He was not tall enough. D. He wasn’t a quick learner.
24. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph A refer to
A. Adding an extra mile. B. Running on his birthday.
C. Training for the marathon. D. Trying out for the basketball team.
25. Which of the following words best describes Grandpa

C. Think Twice D. The Story of Grandpa
【答案】23. C 24. B 25. D 26. A
【解析】
本文主要讲述了作者通过自己的努力终于参加了马拉松比赛，并且取得了成功的故事。
23. 细节理解题。根据“When I was little, I was really little. But my dream was big. I dreamed of being a basketball player”可知，因为作者不够高，所以没有进入篮球队，故选C。
24. 词义猜测题。根据“I ran 12 miles on my 12th birthday. On my 13th birthday, I did it again, but I added an extra mile”可知，在作者13岁生日时也坚持跑步，只不过是额外增加了一英里，所以it指代“在生日这天跑步”，故选B。
25. 推理判断题。根据“Yes, you discovered that big dreams don’t just come true. They take work. If you train and work hard, I promise to wait for you next year and cheer you on”可知，从祖父在作者失败时对他的鼓励可以看出，祖父是一个鼓舞人心的人，故选D。
26. 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文多次出现“big dream”这样的词语，可以推断出本文也是围绕“大梦想”这个线索展开描述，故选A。

Did you know that vocabulary (词汇) is more important than grammar If you have good vocabulary, you can communicate successfully, even if the grammar is not completely perfect.
However, one common problem is learning new words and then forgetting them. So when you want to use a new word in a conversation, you can’t remember it at that moment. Does this often happen to you The reason for this difficulty is that most students try to learn vocabulary by studying lists and dictionaries and remembering the words. But it may not work if you don’t have a very good memory.
The best way to learn vocabulary and remember the words successfully, is to learn new words and use them at once. You can do this with a very simple exercise. Every time you learn a new word, for example, from an English lesson or an article, write it down in your vocabulary notebook. Writing is more active than just reading a definition (释义). You should write the word, the definition in English or translation, one example sentence from the article or dictionary and one example sentence that you create.
Imagine you just learn the word “generous”, write in your vocabulary notebook: generous (adjective), definition—giving or willing to give freely. Example one, from the article: Thanks for paying for my dinner, you’re very generous. Example two, my example: My brother is generous because he volunteers at the animal shelter on weekends. It’s best if your example sentences are true to your life, because this creates a personal connection with the new word. The next day, read your vocabulary notebook again and try to add one more example sentence using the new word. It’s helpful for you to remember it. These two simple steps—writing the word and using it at once—help you remember and use new words.
Do you have a vocabulary notebook If not, start now.
27．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to
A．The problem. B．The new word. C．The conversation. D．The dictionary.
28．What’s the correct order of the following steps of taking vocabulary notes
①Make your own example sentence.
②Write the word, its English definition or translation.
③Copy an example sentence from the article or dictionary.
④Read your notebook again and add one more example sentence.
A．②③①④ B．②③④① C．③④②① D．③②①④
29．How can we make the best example sentences according to the writer
A．By asking for help from friends. B．By explaining words’ definitions.
C．By connecting them with our life. D．By adding words from the article.
30．What’s the best title for the passage
A．Tips for Translating Words B．Advice on Using Grammar
C．Abilities of Creating Examples D．Ways of Learning New Words
【答案】27．B 28．A 29．C 30．D
【解析】本文主要讲述了学习新单词的方法。
27.词句猜测题。根据“So when you want to use a new word in a conversation, you can’t remember it at that moment.”可知，当你想在对话中使用一个新词时，你一时想不起来，推出it代替上文的“a new word”；故选B。
28．细节理解题。根据“You should write the word, the definition in English or translation”；“one example sentence from the article or dictionary”；“and one example sentence that you create”和“The next day, read your vocabulary notebook again and try to add one more example sentence using the new word. ”可知，正确的顺序是②③①④；故选A。
29．细节理解题。根据“It’s best if your example sentences are true to your life, because this creates a personal connection with the new word.”可知，将新单词与生活相结合；故选C。
31．最佳标题题。根据全文内容可知，主要讲述了学习新单词的方法；故选D。

Dear Li Lei, My sister practices playing the violin in an after-school class, so my parents asked me to go and learn it too. But I’m just not a music girl. You know, I’m interested in sports and I want to choose what I like. Now, I’m so upset. What should I do Anna

I hope what I said is helpful to you.
Li Lei
Dear Anna,
I understand your feeling. Here is what I think. Maybe your parents won’t know how you feel if you don’t talk to them about it. Why not honestly and kindly let them know music and you are never a good match, but sports and you are made for each other Meanwhile, you’d better tell them you have had a clear life goal and are old enough to make your own decisions. Further-more, try to get a proper chance to prove that you are talented in sports. Only then will they know you better and let you choose what you love to do. I’m sure your parents will be up for helping you explore different options.
I hope what I said is helpful to you.

Boris, a foreign student at Communication University of China, often shares his experiences of Chinese culture on his vlog (视频博客).
In one video, for example, Boris shared how he had learned the Chinese word dongxi. He translated each part separately into “east west”. And he introduced one theory (说法) about how dongxi came to mean “things”. He told people that all marketplaces in ancient Chinese cities were set up along a single road that ran from east to west. So when you would say qu mai dongxi. you’d be saying, “I’m going to buy things.”
Some other videos show his reading Chinese poems and performing kung fu in Chinese traditional costume, which are quite welcome among his 40, 000 followers.
“Many of my followers are learning Chinese,” Boris said. “But sadly, they know little about Chinese culture and the country.”
Like many foreigners, Boris once believed that all Chinese could perform kung fu, flying onto roofs and walking over walls. He thought the country was not that developed. But after he got a scholarship (奖学金) to study in China in 2019, his view changed. “China has entered a new period, but many people’s impressions of China are still stuck in the1970s,” Boris said. “That’s why I started to shoot vlogs to share Chinese culture in 2019.”
Until now, Boris has posted more than 40 Chinese culture vlogs online. But making these vlogs is not easy. Take reading the poem Second Farewell to Cambridge by Xu Zhimo as an example.
“I can understand and read every word in the poem,” Boris said. “But to touch readers, I need to use proper feelings while reading.” So he needed to look for much background information and make his feelings suit each part of the poem.
Though shooting these vlogs takes lots of time, the young man feels proud that his vlogs have inspired many people. Boris said that he wanted to continue bridging the differences between two cultures. “This goal may not be achieved easily, but I will spare no efforts to do my part.”
44. Through the vlogs, Boris mainly wants to ________.
A. teach foreigners Chinese B. introduce a Chinese university
C. sell Chinese products D. share his experiences in China
45. Boris learned the Chinese word dongxi by ________.
A. translating it as a whole B. knowing its cultural background
C. making up some sentences D. comparing it with similar words
46. What inspired Boris to shoot vlogs
A. His hunger for new technology. B. His wish to show the real China.
C. His interest in Chinese culture. D. His dream to be a big vlogger.
47. The poem Second Farewell to Cambridge is mentioned to ________.
A. meet the followers’ needs B. express Boris’s love for poems
C. show Boris’s efforts at vlog-making D. give an example of Chinese culture
C
When I was little, I was really little. But my dream was big. I dreamed of being a basketball player. I tried out for the teams at school, but I was never given a chance.
As I got older, I did grow a little bigger, but not a lot bigger. On my 12th birthday, I decided to try a new sport: running. I told Grandpa. “I’m going to be an athlete.”
“Dave.” Grandpa began gently, “if you can’t be big, you can do something big.”
I ran 12 miles on my 12th birthday. On my 13th birthday, I did it again, but I added an extra mile. On my 14th birthday, I ran 14 miles. 15 on my 15th, 16 on my 16th, and you guessed it—17 miles on my 17th birthday.
All this running inspired（激发）another big dream. Someday, I’d run the Boston Marathon（波士顿马拉松赛）. I told Grandpa about my decision.
“But, Dave, you haven’t trained for the marathon. Are you sure you’re ready ” Grandpa asked. But he still promised to walk over and cheer me on.
I ran fast that day, But I fell at Mile 18 and was driven to the hospital. Later that night, I called Grandpa and told him I failed.
“No,” he said calmly, “you didn’t fail. You discovered something.”
“I did ” I asked.
“Yes, you discovered that big dreams don’t just come true. They take work. If you train and work hard, I promise to wait for you next year and cheer you on.”
I trained every day, running miles and miles. Sadly, just two months into my training, Grandpa died. He wouldn’t be waiting for my second Boston Marathon. I decided I’d run for him.
That day, I ran fast. “Keep going! You can do it!” His words filled my head as I forced my legs to make each painful step. As I crossed the finish line, I threw my arms in the air and cried, “Grandpa, we did it!”
23. Why did Dave fail to join the school basketball team
A. He couldn’t run fast. B. He didn’t work hard.
C. He was not tall enough. D. He wasn’t a quick learner.
24. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph A refer to
A. Adding an extra mile. B. Running on his birthday.
C. Training for the marathon. D. Trying out for the basketball team.
25. Which of the following words best describes Grandpa
A. Creative. B. Modest. C. Generous. D. Encouraging.
26. What is the best title for the text
A. Dream Big B. The Boston Marathon
C. Think Twice D. The Story of Grandpa
D
Did you know that vocabulary (词汇) is more important than grammar If you have good vocabulary, you can communicate successfully, even if the grammar is not completely perfect.
However, one common problem is learning new words and then forgetting them. So when you want to use a new word in a conversation, you can’t remember it at that moment. Does this often happen to you The reason for this difficulty is that most students try to learn vocabulary by studying lists and dictionaries and remembering the words. But it may not work if you don’t have a very good memory.
The best way to learn vocabulary and remember the words successfully, is to learn new words and use them at once. You can do this with a very simple exercise. Every time you learn a new word, for example, from an English lesson or an article, write it down in your vocabulary notebook. Writing is more active than just reading a definition (释义). You should write the word, the definition in English or translation, one example sentence from the article or dictionary and one example sentence that you create.
Imagine you just learn the word “generous”, write in your vocabulary notebook: generous (adjective), definition—giving or willing to give freely. Example one, from the article: Thanks for paying for my dinner, you’re very generous. Example two, my example: My brother is generous because he volunteers at the animal shelter on weekends. It’s best if your example sentences are true to your life, because this creates a personal connection with the new word. The next day, read your vocabulary notebook again and try to add one more example sentence using the new word. It’s helpful for you to remember it. These two simple steps—writing the word and using it at once—help you remember and use new words.
Do you have a vocabulary notebook If not, start now.
27．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to
A．The problem. B．The new word. C．The conversation. D．The dictionary.
28．What’s the correct order of the following steps of taking vocabulary notes
①Make your own example sentence.
②Write the word, its English definition or translation.
③Copy an example sentence from the article or dictionary.
④Read your notebook again and add one more example sentence.
A．②③①④ B．②③④① C．③④②① D．③②①④
29．How can we make the best example sentences according to the writer
A．By asking for help from friends. B．By explaining words’ definitions.
C．By connecting them with our life. D．By adding words from the article.
30．What’s the best title for the passage
A．Tips for Translating Words B．Advice on Using Grammar
C．Abilities of Creating Examples D．Ways of Learning New Words
