一、阅读理解
（2019河南安阳第三十六中学高一上期末）
Every week in China, millions of people will sit in front of their TVs watching teenagers compete for the title Character Hero, which is a Chinese-style spelling bee（拼字大赛）. In this challenge, young competitors must write Chinese characters by hand. To prepare for the competition, the competitors usually spend months studying dictionaries.
Perhaps the show's popularity should not be a surprise. Along with gunpowder and paper, many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy to be one of their primary contributions to civilization. Unfortunately, all over the country, Chinese people are forgetting how to write their own language without computerized help. Software on smartphones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet. The correct character is chosen from a list. The result It's possible to recognize characters without remembering how to write them.
But there's still hope for the paint brush. China's Education Ministry wants children to spend more time learning how to write.
In one Beijing primary school we visited, students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls. Soft music plays as a group of six-year-olds dip brush pens into black ink. They look up at the blackboard often to study their teacher's examples before carefully attempting to reproduce those characters on rice paper. "If adults can survive without using handwriting, why bother to teach it now "we ask the calligraphy teacher, Shen Bin. "The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture, "she reasons. "Students must learn now so they don't forget when they grow up, "says the teacher.

Whether you are a native speaker or are learning English as a second language, you can benefit from learning how to improve English language skills. This article delivers the top five methods of improving your English language skills in the shortest amount of time.
1
Get a dictionary.
A dictionary can be a great way to improve your vocabulary-after all, it is filled with words. 2 When you find yourself with a few extra free moments, take out your pocket dictionary and learn a new word.
3
Two quick examples are Elements of Grammar by Strunk & White and Essentials of English by Hopper, Gale & Foote. Grammar books typically help with not only grammar, but also the correct usage of punctuation and even tips to improve the clarity of your speech or writing.
Learn to use words in the correct order.
Words are used in different orders in different languages in the world when trying to express the same meaning. In order to speak English fluently as a native would speak, you are going to have to learn the proper order of words in English sentences. 4
Speak English with native English speakers.
Probably the single best technique for learning a new language is immersing yourself in the language. 5
Take an English course.
These days, you can find a course tailored specifically to how you learn best---a visual course, an audible course or even an interactive instructor lead course. You can take any of these types of courses live or on the Internet.
A. Get a book on grammar.
B. How to learn English.
