阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Whether you are hoping to relax or you are looking forward to staying active in vacation, seeking out great hikes is a good choice. If you are planning a trip to southern California, or you live in San Diego, now it is time to search for new hiking trails（路线）. Here are some of the most popular hikes in San Diego.
Cedar Greek Falls
For this hike, you'll hike from the Cedar Crock Falls to the Devil's Punch Bowl, which is a pool at the base of Cedar Creek Falls. It can really heat up in the summer, and it is hard to hike, so be sure to pack lots of water and protein-filled snacks（小吃）.
Cuyamaca Peak（顶峰）
The peak is in Cuyamaca Rancho State Park, and you'll see plenty of snow-capped trees if you do this hike in the winter. There are 37 trails in the state park, but you'll want to stick to Azalea Glen Loop. It's a difficult seven-mile hike that will 'bring you right to Cuyamaca Peak.
Cowles Mountain
It is well known that, Cowles Mountain is the highest point in San Diego—so it's worth visiting for the fact that you can see Mexico from the peak. The three-mile hike is quite difficult. If you are willing to wake up before the sun, Cowles Mountain is a beautiful spot to watch the sunrise. It's one of San Diego's popular hikes, so starting early might also help avoid the crowds.
Swami's Beach
Take the trail from Swami's Beach to Cardiff Beach and you will experience impressive ocean views and the smooth sound of waves crashing onto the sand. As an easy out-and-back hike, the path is accessible（可进入的）from Swami's Beach and is about three miles in total.
1. What do you need to take if you choose Cedar Creek Falls
A. A raincoat. B. An umbrella.
C. Food and water. D. A hat and a map.
2. What is Cowles Mountain famous for
A. The difficult hiking trail. B. Being the peak in San Diego.
C. The beautiful sunrise. D. The great length of the trail.
3. Which hiking trail will you choose if you want to see the sea
A. Cedar Greek Falls. B. Cuyamaca Peak.
C. Cowles Mountain. D. Swami's Beach.

Two weeks ago, a 5-year-old girl named Sunshine Oelfke emptied out her piggy bank (存钱罐) onto the living room floor and immediately started counting. Her grandmother, Jackie Oelfke, thought she was playing as she carefully lined up the coins, but then she saw the girl put the coins into a plastic bag and place it in her backpack.
“What are you doing with that money ” Jackie asked her granddaughter.
“I’m taking it to school,” Sunshine replied. “I’m going to take it for milk money. My friend Layla doesn’t get milk— her mom doesn’t have milk money and I do.”
Jackie’s heart melted at Sunshine’s words. Choked with strong feelings, Jackie held her sweet granddaughter tightly in her arms.
Last week, Jackie and Sunshine met with her teacher, Rita Hausher, and handed her the $30 the kindergartner had saved. There are 20 kids in Sunshine’s class and about half don’t get milk. It costs $ 0.45 a carton (纸盒). The total adds up to about $180 a month for every child in the class to have milk every day.
After dropping Sunshine off at school, Jackie posted a tearful video on Facebook to explain her granddaughter’s plan. To her surprise, many people offered to donate toward the cause. Within a week, Jackie raised more than $1,000. Now every student in Sunshine’s class can get free milk for the rest of the year.
Jackie said Sunshine doesn’t see her kind act as a big deal. She was just trying to look out for her friends. “She doesn’t understand the effect she’s brought about,” Jackie said. “But now she knows she can do whatever she puts her mind to.”
4. Why did Sunshine empty her piggy bank
A. She hoped to show off her savings in class. B. She needed to train her counting skills.
C. She wanted to play with the coins. D. She intended to pay for her friend’s milk.
5. How did Jackie feel upon hearing Sunshine’s words
A. Relieved. B. Touched. C. Curious. D. Proud.
6. In Jackie’s eyes, what did Sunshine learn from the experience
A. Two heads are better than one. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. D. There’s no such thing as a free lunch.
7. What is the best title for this passage
A. Small Coins, Big Changes. B. Jackie’s Piggy Bank.
C. Piggy Bank and Carton Milk. D. A Moved Grandmother.
C
Directed by the AFM private company, National University of Science and Technology(NUST)MISIS engineers, together with the Karfidov Lab design group, have invented a machine named Salatomat that could serve meals to users in a very short time. The engineers say this machine cooks dishes from vegetables and cereals(谷物)in 30-60 seconds, so it can produce between 150 and 500 meals per day.
The cooking machine contains 16 basic ingredients-vegetables, cereals, potatoes, noodles-and 20 dressings and toppings. With this set, Salatomat can cook up to 1, 000 different dishes, with the user able to make a personal choice of products. These dishes are especially fit for those who live a healthy lifestyle or have some health problems.
“The machine has its own ‘brain’. It can remember users’ choices and medical history. And it knows what is in it and what it can produce with the help of the RFID chip,” said Aleksey Karfidov, head of the department of technological equipment engineering at NUST MISIS.
“The process begins with the preparation of products -putting ingredients into the robot, cutting vegetables, and controlling the temperature (cooling or heating, depending on the dish),” said Aleksey Karfidov. According to the developers, the robot is able to ensure the safety of food and quick preparation of well-balanced meals. The machine will also be completely non-contact-all cooking steps are carried out by itself.
All ingredients inside Salatomat are put into clean containers. Ingredients can be stored in the containers for eight hours at most, and if not used, they must be removed and cleaned.
8. What is Salatomat designed to do
A. Store different foods. B. Help prepare meals.
C. Wash the dishes. D. Grow vegetables.
9. What can be inferred about Salatomat according to Aleksey Karfidov
A. It’s smart. B. It’s unworkable. C. It’s expensive. D. It’s space-saving.
10. What does paragraph4 mainly talk about
A. The way Salatomat works. B. The change Salatomat brings.
C The cost of buying ingredients. D. The importance of food safety.
11. What should users notice when using Salatomat
A. Clean it up after each use.
B. Mix everything together before it works.
C. Keep a close eye on its temperature.
D. Take out its ingredients stored over eight hours.
D
If you think English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language
According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles (肌肉).
The study also found the younger people learn a second language, the greater the effect is. A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London (UCL), took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners. Scans showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference was. “Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists.
It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn. Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible(灵活的).” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”
The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learnt English as a second language between the ages of two and thirty-four. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.
12. What is mainly talked about in this passage
A. Man has a great ability of learning a second language.
B. Language learning is closely connected with maths study.
C The study done by the researchers from UCL is very successful.
D. Studying a foreign language can improve man’s ability to think.
13. Why does the writer mention “exercise” in the second paragraph
A. To suggest language learning is also a kind of physical labor.
B. To make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well.
C. To prove that one needs more practice when he/she is learning a language.
D. To show the significance of using the language when you learn a language.
14. What does the underlined word “bilinguals” probably mean in Paragraph 3
A. An active foreign language learner.
B. A person who can speak two languages.
C. A researcher on foreign language learning.
D. A person who is good at learning foreign languages.
15. What can we know from the scientific findings
A. The ability of learning a second language is changing all the time.
B. The experience of learning a second language has a bad effect on brain.
C. The earlier you start to learn a second language, the higher the grey matter density is.
D. There is no difference between a later second language learner and one without a second language.

Jackie’s heart melted at Sunshine’s words. Choked with strong feelings, Jackie held her sweet granddaughter tightly in her arms.
Last week, Jackie and Sunshine met with her teacher, Rita Hausher, and handed her the $30 the kindergartner had saved. There are 20 kids in Sunshine’s class and about half don’t get milk. It costs $ 0.45 a carton (纸盒). The total adds up to about $180 a month for every child in the class to have milk every day.
After dropping Sunshine off at school, Jackie posted a tearful video on Facebook to explain her granddaughter’s plan. To her surprise, many people offered to donate toward the cause. Within a week, Jackie raised more than $1,000. Now every student in Sunshine’s class can get free milk for the rest of the year.
Jackie said Sunshine doesn’t see her kind act as a big deal. She was just trying to look out for her friends. “She doesn’t understand the effect she’s brought about,” Jackie said. “But now she knows she can do whatever she puts her mind to.”

Directed by the AFM private company, National University of Science and Technology(NUST)MISIS engineers, together with the Karfidov Lab design group, have invented a machine named Salatomat that could serve meals to users in a very short time. The engineers say this machine cooks dishes from vegetables and cereals(谷物)in 30-60 seconds, so it can produce between 150 and 500 meals per day.
The cooking machine contains 16 basic ingredients-vegetables, cereals, potatoes, noodles-and 20 dressings and toppings. With this set, Salatomat can cook up to 1, 000 different dishes, with the user able to make a personal choice of products. These dishes are especially fit for those who live a healthy lifestyle or have some health problems.
“The machine has its own ‘brain’. It can remember users’ choices and medical history. And it knows what is in it and what it can produce with the help of the RFID chip,” said Aleksey Karfidov, head of the department of technological equipment engineering at NUST MISIS.
“The process begins with the preparation of products -putting ingredients into the robot, cutting vegetables, and controlling the temperature (cooling or heating, depending on the dish),” said Aleksey Karfidov. According to the developers, the robot is able to ensure the safety of food and quick preparation of well-balanced meals. The machine will also be completely non-contact-all cooking steps are carried out by itself.
All ingredients inside Salatomat are put into clean containers. Ingredients can be stored in the containers for eight hours at most, and if not used, they must be removed and cleaned.
8. What is Salatomat designed to do
A. Store different foods. B. Help prepare meals.
C. Wash the dishes. D. Grow vegetables.
9. What can be inferred about Salatomat according to Aleksey Karfidov
A. It’s smart. B. It’s unworkable. C. It’s expensive. D. It’s space-saving.
10. What does paragraph4 mainly talk about

If you think English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language
According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles (肌肉).
The study also found the younger people learn a second language, the greater the effect is. A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London (UCL), took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners. Scans showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference was. “Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists.
It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn. Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible(灵活的).” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”
The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learnt English as a second language between the ages of two and thirty-four. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.
12. What is mainly talked about in this passage
A. Man has a great ability of learning a second language.
B. Language learning is closely connected with maths study.
C. The study done by the researchers from UCL is very successful.
D. Studying a foreign language can improve man’s ability to think.
13. Why does the writer mention “exercise” in the second paragraph
A. To suggest language learning is also a kind of physical labor.
B. To make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well.
C. To prove that one needs more practice when he/she is learning a language.
D. To show the significance of using the language when you learn a language.
14. What does the underlined word “bilinguals” probably mean in Paragraph 3
A. An active foreign language learner.
B. A person who can speak two languages.
C. A researcher on foreign language learning.
D. A person who is good at learning foreign languages.
15. What can we know from the scientific findings
A. The ability of learning a second language is changing all the time.
B. The experience of learning a second language has a bad effect on brain.
C. The earlier you start to learn a second language, the higher the grey matter density is.
D. There is no difference between a later second language learner and one without a second language.

【答案】Dear David,
I’m glad to know you’re learning Chinese! Hearing that you have difficulty learning Chinese, I know how you feel and I would like to give you some advice.
First, read aloud little poems. Chinese is a beautiful language, and I’m sure you’ll enjoy its rhyme and rhythm. Second, try to communicate often. You can find a Chinese friend with similar interests to practise speaking Chinese. Last, use websites of Chinese media, such as China Daily, where you’ll find lots of useful learning resources. The Great Wall was not built in one day. I’m sure your constant efforts will be rewarded.
Good luck!
Yours,
Li Ming

阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Whether you are hoping to relax or you are looking forward to staying active in vacation, seeking out great hikes is a good choice. If you are planning a trip to southern California, or you live in San Diego, now it is time to search for new hiking trails（路线）. Here are some of the most popular hikes in San Diego.
Cedar Greek Falls
For this hike, you'll hike from the Cedar Crock Falls to the Devil's Punch Bowl, which is a pool at the base of Cedar Creek Falls. It can really heat up in the summer, and it is hard to hike, so be sure to pack lots of water and protein-filled snacks（小吃）.
Cuyamaca Peak（顶峰）
The peak is in Cuyamaca Rancho State Park, and you'll see plenty of snow-capped trees if you do this hike in the winter. There are 37 trails in the state park, but you'll want to stick to Azalea Glen Loop. It's a difficult seven-mile hike that will 'bring you right to Cuyamaca Peak.
Cowles Mountain
It is well known that, Cowles Mountain is the highest point in San Diego—so it's worth visiting for the fact that you can see Mexico from the peak. The three-mile hike is quite difficult. If you are willing to wake up before the sun, Cowles Mountain is a beautiful spot to watch the sunrise. It's one of San Diego's popular hikes, so starting early might also help avoid the crowds.
Swami's Beach
Take the trail from Swami's Beach to Cardiff Beach and you will experience impressive ocean views and the smooth sound of waves crashing onto the sand. As an easy out-and-back hike, the path is accessible（可进入的）from Swami's Beach and is about three miles in total.
1. What do you need to take if you choose Cedar Creek Falls
A. A raincoat. B. An umbrella.
C. Food and water. D. A hat and a map.
2. What is Cowles Mountain famous for
A. The difficult hiking trail. B. Being the peak in San Diego.
C. The beautiful sunrise. D. The great length of the trail.
3. Which hiking trail will you choose if you want to see the sea
A. Cedar Greek Falls. B. Cuyamaca Peak.
C. Cowles Mountain. D. Swami's Beach.

Two weeks ago, a 5-year-old girl named Sunshine Oelfke emptied out her piggy bank (存钱罐) onto the living room floor and immediately started counting. Her grandmother, Jackie Oelfke, thought she was playing as she carefully lined up the coins, but then she saw the girl put the coins into a plastic bag and place it in her backpack.
“What are you doing with that money ” Jackie asked her granddaughter.
“I’m taking it to school,” Sunshine replied. “I’m going to take it for milk money. My friend Layla doesn’t get milk— her mom doesn’t have milk money and I do.”
Jackie’s heart melted at Sunshine’s words. Choked with strong feelings, Jackie held her sweet granddaughter tightly in her arms.

第一节（共15小题: 每小题2.5分, 满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Whether you are hoping to relax or you are looking forward to staying active in vacation, seeking out great hikes is a good choice. If you are planning a trip to southern California, or you live in San Diego, now it is time to search for new hiking trails（路线）. Here are some of the most popular hikes in San Diego.
Cedar Greek Falls
For this hike, you'll hike from the Cedar Crock Falls to the Devil's Punch Bowl, which is a pool at the base of Cedar Creek Falls. It can really heat up in the summer, and it is hard to hike, so be sure to pack lots of water and protein-filled snacks（小吃）.
Cuyamaca Peak（顶峰）
The peak is in Cuyamaca Rancho State Park, and you'll see plenty of snow-capped trees if you do this hike in the winter. There are 37 trails in the state park, but you'll want to stick to Azalea Glen Loop. It's a difficult seven-mile hike that will 'bring you right to Cuyamaca Peak.
Cowles Mountain
It is well known that, Cowles Mountain is the highest point in San Diego—so it's worth visiting for the fact that you can see Mexico from the peak. The three-mile hike is quite difficult. If you are willing to wake up before the sun, Cowles Mountain is a beautiful spot to watch the sunrise. It's one of San Diego's popular hikes, so starting early might also help avoid the crowds.
Swami's Beach
Take the trail from Swami's Beach to Cardiff Beach and you will experience impressive ocean views and the smooth sound of waves crashing onto the sand. As an easy out-and-back hike, the path is accessible（可进入的）from Swami's Beach and is about three miles in total.
1. What do you need to take if you choose Cedar Creek Falls
A. A raincoat. B. An umbrella.
C. Food and water. D. A hat and a map.
2. What is Cowles Mountain famous for
A. The difficult hiking trail. B. Being the peak in San Diego.
C. The beautiful sunrise. D. The great length of the trail.
3. Which hiking trail will you choose if you want to see the sea
A. Cedar Greek Falls. B. Cuyamaca Peak.
C. Cowles Mountain. D. Swami's Beach.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D

Two weeks ago, a 5-year-old girl named Sunshine Oelfke emptied out her piggy bank (存钱罐) onto the living room floor and immediately started counting. Her grandmother, Jackie Oelfke, thought she was playing as she carefully lined up the coins, but then she saw the girl put the coins into a plastic bag and place it in her backpack.
“What are you doing with that money ” Jackie asked her granddaughter.
“I’m taking it to school,” Sunshine replied. “I’m going to take it for milk money. My friend Layla doesn’t get milk— her mom doesn’t have milk money and I do.”
Jackie’s heart melted at Sunshine’s words. Choked with strong feelings, Jackie held her sweet granddaughter tightly in her arms.
Last week, Jackie and Sunshine met with her teacher, Rita Hausher, and handed her the $30 the kindergartner had saved. There are 20 kids in Sunshine’s class and about half don’t get milk. It costs $ 0.45 a carton (纸盒). The total adds up to about $180 a month for every child in the class to have milk every day.
After dropping Sunshine off at school, Jackie posted a tearful video on Facebook to explain her granddaughter’s plan. To her surprise, many people offered to donate toward the cause. Within a week, Jackie raised more than $1,000. Now every student in Sunshine’s class can get free milk for the rest of the year.
Jackie said Sunshine doesn’t see her kind act as a big deal. She was just trying to look out for her friends. “She doesn’t understand the effect she’s brought about,” Jackie said. “But now she knows she can do whatever she puts her mind to.”
4. Why did Sunshine empty her piggy bank
A. She hoped to show off her savings in class. B. She needed to train her counting skills.
C. She wanted to play with the coins. D. She intended to pay for her friend’s milk.
5. How did Jackie feel upon hearing Sunshine’s words
A. Relieved. B. Touched. C. Curious. D. Proud.
6. In Jackie’s eyes, what did Sunshine learn from the experience
A. Two heads are better than one. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. D. There’s no such thing as a free lunch.
7. What is the best title for this passage
A. Small Coins, Big Changes. B. Jackie’s Piggy Bank.
C. Piggy Bank and Carton Milk. D. A Moved Grandmother.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. A
C
Directed by the AFM private company, National University of Science and Technology(NUST)MISIS engineers, together with the Karfidov Lab design group, have invented a machine named Salatomat that could serve meals to users in a very short time. The engineers say this machine cooks dishes from vegetables and cereals(谷物)in 30-60 seconds, so it can produce between 150 and 500 meals per day.
The cooking machine contains 16 basic ingredients-vegetables, cereals, potatoes, noodles-and 20 dressings and toppings. With this set, Salatomat can cook up to 1, 000 different dishes, with the user able to make a personal choice of products. These dishes are especially fit for those who live a healthy lifestyle or have some health problems.
“The machine has its own ‘brain’. It can remember users’ choices and medical history. And it knows what is in it and what it can produce with the help of the RFID chip,” said Aleksey Karfidov, head of the department of technological equipment engineering at NUST MISIS.
“The process begins with the preparation of products -putting ingredients into the robot, cutting vegetables, and controlling the temperature (cooling or heating, depending on the dish),” said Aleksey Karfidov. According to the developers, the robot is able to ensure the safety of food and quick preparation of well-balanced meals. The machine will also be completely non-contact-all cooking steps are carried out by itself.
All ingredients inside Salatomat are put into clean containers. Ingredients can be stored in the containers for eight hours at most, and if not used, they must be removed and cleaned.
8. What is Salatomat designed to do
A. Store different foods. B. Help prepare meals.
C. Wash the dishes. D. Grow vegetables.
9. What can be inferred about Salatomat according to Aleksey Karfidov
A. It’s smart. B. It’s unworkable. C. It’s expensive. D. It’s space-saving.
10. What does paragraph4 mainly talk about
A. The way Salatomat works. B. The change Salatomat brings.
C. The cost of buying ingredients. D. The importance of food safety.
11. What should users notice when using Salatomat
A. Clean it up after each use.
B. Mix everything together before it works.
C. Keep a close eye on its temperature.
D. Take out its ingredients stored over eight hours.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. D
D
If you think English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language
According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles (肌肉).
The study also found the younger people learn a second language, the greater the effect is. A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London (UCL), took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners. Scans showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference was. “Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists.
It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn. Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible(灵活的).” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”
The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learnt English as a second language between the ages of two and thirty-four. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.
12. What is mainly talked about in this passage
A. Man has a great ability of learning a second language.
B. Language learning is closely connected with maths study.
C. The study done by the researchers from UCL is very successful.
D. Studying a foreign language can improve man’s ability to think.
13. Why does the writer mention “exercise” in the second paragraph
A. To suggest language learning is also a kind of physical labor.
B. To make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well.
C. To prove that one needs more practice when he/she is learning a language.
D. To show the significance of using the language when you learn a language.
14. What does the underlined word “bilinguals” probably mean in Paragraph 3
A. An active foreign language learner.

【答案】Dear David,
I’m glad to know you’re learning Chinese! Hearing that you have difficulty learning Chinese, I know how you feel and I would like to give you some advice.
First, read aloud little poems. Chinese is a beautiful language, and I’m sure you’ll enjoy its rhyme and rhythm. Second, try to communicate often. You can find a Chinese friend with similar interests to practise speaking Chinese. Last, use websites of Chinese media, such as China Daily, where you’ll find lots of useful learning resources. The Great Wall was not built in one day. I’m sure your constant efforts will be rewarded.
Good luck!
Yours,
Li Ming
