五、阅读理解(B篇)
Boris, a foreign student in China, often shares his experiences of Chinese culture on his vlog.
In one video, Boris shared how he had learned the Chinese word dongxi. He told people 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 he is reading Chinese poems and performing kung fu in Chinese traditional costume(服装), which are quite welcome among his 40,000 followers.
“Many of my followers are learning Chinese,” Boris said. “But they know little about China.”
Like many foreigners, Boris once believed all Chinese could perform kung fu, flying onto roofs and walking over walls. But after he came to China, he found China had changed. That’s why he started to shoot vlogs to share Chinese culture.
Boris has posted more than 40 Chinese culture vlogs. But making these vlogs is not easy. Take reading the poem Second Farewell to Cambridge as an example. “I can understand and read the poem,” Boris said. “But to touch readers, I need to use proper feelings.” So he needed to look for much background information.
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.
( )1. What does Boris mainly want to do through the vlogs
A. He wants to teach foreigners Chinese.
B. He wants to introduce a Chinese university.
C. He wants to sell Chinese products.
D. He wants to share his experiences in China.
D
( )2. How did Boris learn the Chinese word dongxi
A. By translating it as a whole.
B. By knowing its cultural background.
C. By making up some sentences.
D. By comparing it with similar words.
( )3. How many followers does Boris have
A. Forty. B. Four hundred.
C. Four thousand. D. Forty thousand.
B
D
( )4. Why is the poem Second Farewell to Cambridge mentioned
A. To meet the followers’ needs.
B. To express Boris’ love for poems.
C. To show Boris’ efforts at vlog-making.
D. To give an example of Chinese culture.
C
( )5. The passage is probably written to ________.
A. praise Boris’ actions
B. tell the facts about making vlogs
C. attract more visitors to China
