“Lives of great men all remind us that we can make our lives sublime (崇高的)” is a line from A Psalm of Life (《人生颂》) that Chen Lin read in a Learn video when he was 96 years old.
With a “life is to give, not to take” attitude, Chen Lin devoted his life to the development of foreign language education in China.
Born in 1922, Chen worked in foreign education for more than 70 years. In 1950, he started teaching at Beijing Foreign Studies University. At the university, Chen was known for his nickname of “Three UP Professor”, since he always insisted on “standing up” and “speaking up” when teaching. Also, when class was over, he would instantly “shut up”.
In the 1980s, in most English classes, teachers did most of the speaking, while students mostly only listened. But Chen encouraged students to speak and practice more. Outside of class, Chen still tried his best to popularize English among common people. In 1981, he took part in the TV program Follow Me (《跟我学》) and taught people English in a fun way, which started a craze for learning English.
In 1999, Chen led experts to develop English curriculum standards (课程标准). Before that, English teaching goals from primary to university were not connected. But the standards changed the situation, making English education work like “one package”.
To help students learn English more effectively, Chen advised providing suitable English-learning material for students at different levels. “I have been a teacher all my life, and I want to be an English teacher again in my next life.” Chen said.
“I think there is no more noble profession than to teach and make students useful to the people.”
24. What can we know according to the passage
A. Chen Lin was the leading expert in developing English curriculum standards.
B. Most teachers encouraged students to speak and practice more in the 1980s.
C. Chen Lin was famous for his attitude toward life.
D. Chen Lin created Follow Me alone to encourage students to learn English.
25. Why did Chen Lin teach people English in the TV program Follow Me
A. To become more famous in China. B. To make English popular among common people.
C. To encourage more people to attend his class. D. To show his fun way of teaching English.
26. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Chen Lin decided to teach English again.
B. Chen Lin thought only teaching was a noble profession.
C. Chen Lin was proud of being an English teacher.
D. Chen Lin hoped more people could become English teachers.
27. Which of the following words can best describe Chen Lin
A. Humorous and generous. B. Devoted and enthusiastic.
C. Intelligent and independent. D. Energetic and honest.
C
Kangaroos can communicate with humans, according to a new study. The report is the first research of this kind to be done on marsupials — a type of mammal whose young get carried in pouches (育儿袋) on their mother’s body. It suggests kangaroos are cleverer than previously thought.
Researchers from the University of Roehampton in the UK and the University of Sydney in Australia tested kangaroos at three locations — the Australian Reptile Park, Wildlife Sydney Zoo and Kangaroo Protection Co-operative. The scientists put food in a box that the kangaroos could not open, and waited to see what the animals would do.
Rather than giving up, 10 out of the 11 kangaroos actively looked at the person who had put the food in the box and then looked at the box. The researchers said this could be interpreted as the kangaroos requesting help to open the container.
Dr Alexandra Green, a co-author of the study, told The Guardian newspaper that some of the kangaroos actually approached the person and started scratching and sniffing them, then looked back at the box. “So they were really trying to communicate,” Green said.
This behaviour is not uncommon in animals. However, it is usually only seen in domesticated animals. Domesticated means animals that have been bred (饲养) to live alongside people, such as pets or farm animals. The lead author of the study, Dr Alan McElligott, explained, “Through this study, we were able to see that communication between animals can be learnt and that the behaviour of looking at humans to access food is not related to domestication.”
“Indeed kangaroos showed a very similar pattern of behaviour we have seen in dogs, horses and even goats, when put to the same test,” he added.
It is hoped that the study will give people a more positive attitude towards kangaroos, which are sometimes seen as pests that damage farmers’ crops.
28. Why did the kangaroos look at the person and then the box
A. They were curious. B. They were asking for help.
C. They were confused by the box. D. They were playing with the person.
29. What does Dr Alan McElligott say about kangaroos’ behavior
A. It is only seen in wild animals.
B. It has nothing to do with domestication.
C. It sets kangaroos apart from other animals.
D. It can only be learned by domesticated animals.
30. What purpose is the study expected to serve
A. Protecting farmers’ crops from kangaroos.
B. Calling on people to protect kangaroos.
C. Changing the way people see kangaroos.
D. Encouraging people to domesticate kangaroos.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. How kangaroos access food B. Why Kangaroos are our friends
C. Kangaroos can “talk” to us D. Kangaroos are cleverer than we thought
D
Lion dance, which mimics (模仿) a lion with kung fu and acrobatic (杂技的) styles, is a traditional Chinese performing art that could often be seen during festive occasions like Spring Festival. It’s believed to have started in the Three Kingdoms period and peaked in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. In ancient China, the lion was regarded as a symbol of good luck. The lion dance is often performed in celebrations to this day and in 2006, it was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产).
Qiu Haiwei, 17, and Huang Qingliang, 16, are two lion dance lovers in Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region. They started learning the dance two years ago. Though lion dance performances are breathtaking, learning the art is another matter.
Dancing on the poles makes the art a fascinating sight. There are 21 poles of heights between 1.2 meters and 2.5 meters with up to 1.8 meters between them. A single false step will send the performers falling to the ground below.
As a result, the ancient art form has fallen out of favor with the young generation, as the skills take years to master while only a low wage can be earned. Also, coaches and funding can be hard to find, so it’s difficult for a lion dance troupe (表演队) to survive. But since 2017, local authorities in Guangxi have teamed up with companies and schools to help reboot the ancient art.
“We must work hard to help pass on the heritage and its spirit to future generations,” Deng Minghua, a national inheritor of the cultural heritage, told Xinhua.
32. What’s the longest distance between two poles used for lion dance
A. 1.8 meters. B. 2.5 meters. C. 1.2 meters. D. 2.4 meters.
33. Why is it difficult for the lion dance troupe to survive
A. No one wants to learn lion dance.
B. Mastering lion dance takes decades.
C. The payment is not satisfying enough.
D. Coaches are not professional enough.
34. What can be learned about lion dance according to the text
A. People will perform it only in spring festival.
B. Local authorities attach great importance to it.
C. It started in the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
D. It has been added to the list of tangible cultural heritage.
35. What’s the text mainly about
A. The future development of lion dance.
B. How to perform lion dance successfully.
C. Why young generations don’t prefer lion dance.
D. The importance of keeping lion dance culture alive.

8-year-old Evan was standing by the sidewalk when he noticed Mrs. Carter opening her shop again.
Several days ago, when Evan was passing by her store, he saw a closed sign on the store’s door. When the shop remained closed for not just two days, Evan was worried he’d never be able to get his “dream job”.
85-year-old Mrs. Carter was a woman selling flowers for a living and Evan had befriended her when he helped her cross the street one day.
Now seeing her again, Evan ran up to her and greeted her. “Can I help you today, Evan Do you want flowers ” Mrs. Carter asked. Evan smiled, “I’m looking for a job! Can you please hire me ”
“A job ” the elderly lady laughed, thinking Evan was too little for that. But Evan proudly replied he knew many things, like making sandwiches and helping his mom get grocery bags from the car. Mrs. Carter laughed and asked Evan how much money she would have to pay him if she hired him.
Evan shook his head. “All I want is a big bouquet (花束) for my mom. Her name is Stacey and her birthday is one week away. Mom says we should work hard for what we want. I want to work hard for that bouquet. Can you hire me ” Evan asked. Mrs. Carter was impressed and nodded.
Then for a whole week, Evan would come to Mrs. Carter’s store in the evenings and help her, and having Evan around relieved Mrs. Carter’s boredom while she was working. Some customers thought Evan was lovely and entertaining, so they bought more flowers. Mrs. Carter’s business became better.
A week later, on Evan’s last day on the job, Mrs. Carter was emotional. They had grown close for working together, and Evan had become like a grandchild to her. While making a huge bouquet for Evan’s mother, Mrs. Carter secretly placed one envelope into the bouquet. The envelope contained $200.

“I will!” Evan smiled and waved goodbye to Mrs. Carter.

8-year-old Evan was standing by the sidewalk when he noticed Mrs. Carter opening her shop again.
Several days ago, when Evan was passing by her store, he saw a closed sign on the store’s door. When the shop remained closed for not just two days, Evan was worried he’d never be able to get his “dream job”.
85-year-old Mrs. Carter was a woman selling flowers for a living and Evan had befriended her when he helped her cross the street one day.
Now seeing her again, Evan ran up to her and greeted her. “Can I help you today, Evan Do you want flowers ” Mrs. Carter asked. Evan smiled, “I’m looking for a job! Can you please hire me ”
“A job ” the elderly lady laughed, thinking Evan was too little for that. But Evan proudly replied he knew many things, like making sandwiches and helping his mom get grocery bags from the car. Mrs. Carter laughed and asked Evan how much money she would have to pay him if she hired him.
Evan shook his head. “All I want is a big bouquet (花束) for my mom. Her name is Stacey and her birthday is one week away. Mom says we should work hard for what we want. I want to work hard for that bouquet. Can you hire me ” Evan asked. Mrs. Carter was impressed and nodded.
Then for a whole week, Evan would come to Mrs. Carter’s store in the evenings and help her, and having Evan around relieved Mrs. Carter’s boredom while she was working. Some customers thought Evan was lovely and entertaining, so they bought more flowers. Mrs. Carter’s business became better.
A week later, on Evan’s last day on the job, Mrs. Carter was emotional. They had grown close for working together, and Evan had become like a grandchild to her. While making a huge bouquet for Evan’s mother, Mrs. Carter secretly placed one envelope into the bouquet. The envelope contained $200. When handing him the bouquet, she said, “Will you come to see me someday, Evan I’d be delighted to have you here.”
“I will!” Evan smiled and waved goodbye to Mrs. Carter.

“Lives of great men all remind us that we can make our lives sublime (崇高的)” is a line from A Psalm of Life (《人生颂》) that Chen Lin read in a Learn video when he was 96 years old.
With a “life is to give, not to take” attitude, Chen Lin devoted his life to the development of foreign language education in China.
Born in 1922, Chen worked in foreign education for more than 70 years. In 1950, he started teaching at Beijing Foreign Studies University. At the university, Chen was known for his nickname of “Three UP Professor”, since he always insisted on “standing up” and “speaking up” when teaching. Also, when class was over, he would instantly “shut up”.
In the 1980s, in most English classes, teachers did most of the speaking, while students mostly only listened. But Chen encouraged students to speak and practice more. Outside of class, Chen still tried his best to popularize English among common people. In 1981, he took part in the TV program Follow Me (《跟我学》) and taught people English in a fun way, which started a craze for learning English.
In 1999, Chen led experts to develop English curriculum standards (课程标准). Before that, English teaching goals from primary to university were not connected. But the standards changed the situation, making English education work like “one package”.
To help students learn English more effectively, Chen advised providing suitable English-learning material for students at different levels. “I have been a teacher all my life, and I want to be an English teacher again in my next life.” Chen said.
“I think there is no more noble profession than to teach and make students useful to the people.”
24. What can we know according to the passage
A. Chen Lin was the leading expert in developing English curriculum standards.
B. Most teachers encouraged students to speak and practice more in the 1980s.
C. Chen Lin was famous for his attitude toward life.
D. Chen Lin created Follow Me alone to encourage students to learn English.
25. Why did Chen Lin teach people English in the TV program Follow Me
A. To become more famous in China. B. To make English popular among common people.
C. To encourage more people to attend his class. D. To show his fun way of teaching English.
26. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Chen Lin decided to teach English again.
B. Chen Lin thought only teaching was a noble profession.
C. Chen Lin was proud of being an English teacher.
D. Chen Lin hoped more people could become English teachers.
27. Which of the following words can best describe Chen Lin
A. Humorous and generous. B. Devoted and enthusiastic.
C. Intelligent and independent. D. Energetic and honest.
C
Kangaroos can communicate with humans, according to a new study. The report is the first research of this kind to be done on marsupials — a type of mammal whose young get carried in pouches (育儿袋) on their mother’s body. It suggests kangaroos are cleverer than previously thought.
Researchers from the University of Roehampton in the UK and the University of Sydney in Australia tested kangaroos at three locations — the Australian Reptile Park, Wildlife Sydney Zoo and Kangaroo Protection Co-operative. The scientists put food in a box that the kangaroos could not open, and waited to see what the animals would do.
Rather than giving up, 10 out of the 11 kangaroos actively looked at the person who had put the food in the box and then looked at the box. The researchers said this could be interpreted as the kangaroos requesting help to open the container.
Dr Alexandra Green, a co-author of the study, told The Guardian newspaper that some of the kangaroos actually approached the person and started scratching and sniffing them, then looked back at the box. “So they were really trying to communicate,” Green said.
This behaviour is not uncommon in animals. However, it is usually only seen in domesticated animals. Domesticated means animals that have been bred (饲养) to live alongside people, such as pets or farm animals. The lead author of the study, Dr Alan McElligott, explained, “Through this study, we were able to see that communication between animals can be learnt and that the behaviour of looking at humans to access food is not related to domestication.”
“Indeed kangaroos showed a very similar pattern of behaviour we have seen in dogs, horses and even goats, when put to the same test,” he added.
It is hoped that the study will give people a more positive attitude towards kangaroos, which are sometimes seen as pests that damage farmers’ crops.
28. Why did the kangaroos look at the person and then the box
A. They were curious. B. They were asking for help.
C. They were confused by the box. D. They were playing with the person.
29. What does Dr Alan McElligott say about kangaroos’ behavior
A. It is only seen in wild animals.
B. It has nothing to do with domestication.
C. It sets kangaroos apart from other animals.
D. It can only be learned by domesticated animals.
30. What purpose is the study expected to serve
A. Protecting farmers’ crops from kangaroos.
B. Calling on people to protect kangaroos.
C. Changing the way people see kangaroos.
D. Encouraging people to domesticate kangaroos.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. How kangaroos access food B. Why Kangaroos are our friends
C. Kangaroos can “talk” to us D. Kangaroos are cleverer than we thought
D
Lion dance, which mimics (模仿) a lion with kung fu and acrobatic (杂技的) styles, is a traditional Chinese performing art that could often be seen during festive occasions like Spring Festival. It’s believed to have started in the Three Kingdoms period and peaked in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. In ancient China, the lion was regarded as a symbol of good luck. The lion dance is often performed in celebrations to this day and in 2006, it was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产).
Qiu Haiwei, 17, and Huang Qingliang, 16, are two lion dance lovers in Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region. They started learning the dance two years ago. Though lion dance performances are breathtaking, learning the art is another matter.
Dancing on the poles makes the art a fascinating sight. There are 21 poles of heights between 1.2 meters and 2.5 meters with up to 1.8 meters between them. A single false step will send the performers falling to the ground below.
As a result, the ancient art form has fallen out of favor with the young generation, as the skills take years to master while only a low wage can be earned. Also, coaches and funding can be hard to find, so it’s difficult for a lion dance troupe (表演队) to survive. But since 2017, local authorities in Guangxi have teamed up with companies and schools to help reboot the ancient art.
“We must work hard to help pass on the heritage and its spirit to future generations,” Deng Minghua, a national inheritor of the cultural heritage, told Xinhua.
32. What’s the longest distance between two poles used for lion dance
A. 1.8 meters. B. 2.5 meters. C. 1.2 meters. D. 2.4 meters.
33. Why is it difficult for the lion dance troupe to survive
A. No one wants to learn lion dance.
B. Mastering lion dance takes decades.
C. The payment is not satisfying enough.
D. Coaches are not professional enough.
34. What can be learned about lion dance according to the text
A. People will perform it only in spring festival.
B. Local authorities attach great importance to it.
C. It started in the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
D. It has been added to the list of tangible cultural heritage.
35. What’s the text mainly about
A. The future development of lion dance.
B. How to perform lion dance successfully.
C. Why young generations don’t prefer lion dance.
D. The importance of keeping lion dance culture alive.

Kangaroos can communicate with humans, according to a new study. The report is the first research of this kind to be done on marsupials — a type of mammal whose young get carried in pouches (育儿袋) on their mother’s body. It suggests kangaroos are cleverer than previously thought.
Researchers from the University of Roehampton in the UK and the University of Sydney in Australia tested kangaroos at three locations — the Australian Reptile Park, Wildlife Sydney Zoo and Kangaroo Protection Co-operative. The scientists put food in a box that the kangaroos could not open, and waited to see what the animals would do.
Rather than giving up, 10 out of the 11 kangaroos actively looked at the person who had put the food in the box and then looked at the box. The researchers said this could be interpreted as the kangaroos requesting help to open the container.
Dr Alexandra Green, a co-author of the study, told The Guardian newspaper that some of the kangaroos actually approached the person and started scratching and sniffing them, then looked back at the box. “So they were really trying to communicate,” Green said.
This behaviour is not uncommon in animals. However, it is usually only seen in domesticated animals. Domesticated means animals that have been bred (饲养) to live alongside people, such as pets or farm animals. The lead author of the study, Dr Alan McElligott, explained, “Through this study, we were able to see that communication between animals can be learnt and that the behaviour of looking at humans to access food is not related to domestication.”
“Indeed, kangaroos showed a very similar pattern of behaviour we have seen in dogs, horses and even goats, when put to the same test,” he added.
It is hoped that the study will give people a more positive attitude towards kangaroos, which are sometimes seen as pests that damage farmers’ crops.
28. Why did the kangaroos look at the person and then the box
A. They were curious. B. They were asking for help.
C. They were confused by the box. D. They were playing with the person.
29. What does Dr Alan McElligott say about kangaroos’ behavior
A. It is only seen in wild animals.
B. It has nothing to do with domestication.
C. It sets kangaroos apart from other animals.
D. It can only be learned by domesticated animals.
30. What purpose is the study expected to serve
A. Protecting farmers’ crops from kangaroos.
B. Calling on people to protect kangaroos.
C. Changing the way people see kangaroos.
D. Encouraging people to domesticate kangaroos.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A How kangaroos access food B. Why Kangaroos are our friends
C. Kangaroos can “talk” to us D. Kangaroos are cleverer than we thought
【答案】28. B 29. B 30. C 31. C

Lion dance, which mimics (模仿) a lion with kung fu and acrobatic (杂技的) styles, is a traditional Chinese performing art that could often be seen during festive occasions like Spring Festival. It’s believed to have started in the Three Kingdoms period and peaked in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. In ancient China, the lion was regarded as a symbol of good luck. The lion dance is often performed in celebrations to this day and in 2006, it was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产).
Qiu Haiwei, 17, and Huang Qingliang, 16, are two lion dance lovers in Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region. They started learning the dance two years ago. Though lion dance performances are breathtaking, learning the art is another matter.
Dancing on the poles makes the art a fascinating sight. There are 21 poles of heights between 1.2 meters and 2.5 meters with up to 1.8 meters between them. A single false step will send the performers falling to the ground below.
As a result, the ancient art form has fallen out of favor with the young generation, as the skills take years to master while only a low wage can be earned. Also, coaches and funding can be hard to find, so it’s difficult for a lion dance troupe (表演队) to survive. But since 2017, local authorities in Guangxi have teamed up with companies and schools to help reboot the ancient art.
“We must work hard to help pass on the heritage and its spirit to future generations,” Deng Minghua, a national inheritor of the cultural heritage, told Xinhua.
32. What’s the longest distance between two poles used for lion dance
A. 1.8 meters. B. 2.5 meters. C. 1.2 meters. D. 2.4 meters.
33. Why is it difficult for the lion dance troupe to survive
A. No one wants to learn lion dance.
B. Mastering lion dance takes decades.
C. The payment is not satisfying enough.
D. Coaches are not professional enough.
34. What can be learned about lion dance according to the text
A. People will perform it only in spring festival.
B. Local authorities attach great importance to it.
C. It started in the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
D. It has been added to the list of tangible cultural heritage.
35. What’s the text mainly about
A. The future development of lion dance.
B. How to perform lion dance successfully.
C. Why young generations don’t prefer lion dance.
D. The importance of keeping lion dance culture alive.
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. D

8-year-old Evan was standing by the sidewalk when he noticed Mrs. Carter opening her shop again.
Several days ago, when Evan was passing by her store, he saw a closed sign on the store’s door. When the shop remained closed for not just two days, Evan was worried he’d never be able to get his “dream job”.
85-year-old Mrs. Carter was a woman selling flowers for a living and Evan had befriended her when he helped her cross the street one day.
Now seeing her again, Evan ran up to her and greeted her. “Can I help you today, Evan Do you want flowers ” Mrs. Carter asked. Evan smiled, “I’m looking for a job! Can you please hire me ”
“A job ” the elderly lady laughed, thinking Evan was too little for that. But Evan proudly replied he knew many things, like making sandwiches and helping his mom get grocery bags from the car. Mrs. Carter laughed and asked Evan how much money she would have to pay him if she hired him.
Evan shook his head. “All I want is a big bouquet (花束) for my mom. Her name is Stacey and her birthday is one week away. Mom says we should work hard for what we want. I want to work hard for that bouquet. Can you hire me ” Evan asked. Mrs. Carter was impressed and nodded.
Then for a whole week, Evan would come to Mrs. Carter’s store in the evenings and help her, and having Evan around relieved Mrs. Carter’s boredom while she was working. Some customers thought Evan was lovely and entertaining, so they bought more flowers. Mrs. Carter’s business became better.
A week later, on Evan’s last day on the job, Mrs. Carter was emotional. They had grown close for working together, and Evan had become like a grandchild to her. While making a huge bouquet for Evan’s mother, Mrs. Carter secretly placed one envelope into the bouquet. The envelope contained $200. When handing him the bouquet, she said, “Will you come to see me someday, Evan I’d be delighted to have you here.”
“I will!” Evan smiled and waved goodbye to Mrs. Carter.

He pulled it out and found the money in it. “But I told Mrs. Carter not to pay me! I think this got here by mistake!” said Evan.
Paragraph 2:
Then, Evan and his mom hurried to return the money to Mrs. Carter. When they reached her shop and were about to return the money, Mrs. Carter smiled and said, “It’s my pay for Evan. He did a very good job. Keep it. The flowers are my gift for you.” Stacey was grateful for Mrs. Carter’s kindness and invited her home for dinner that night to celebrate her birthday together. From then on, Stacey started to join Evan in helping Mrs. Carter in her shop and they became friends.
