As we all know, Chinese is the language spoken by the largest number of people in the world. Since China is getting stronger and stronger, Chinese becomes more and more popular.
Jimmy America I am a big fan of Chinese culture and I love China very much. To get to know more Chinese culture, I need to learn Chinese well. However, Chinese is too difficult for me. Now reading is the hardest part for me. But I won’t give up. I believe that Chinese will be popular all over the world, so it is very important for us all to learn Chinese.
Amelia Cuba Before coming to China, I studied Japanese for 2 years in college. The experience of learning Japanese makes me feel that Chinese ought to be easy to learn as well. But it turns out that I was totally wrong. Now, I speak Chinese every day. And I try my best to communicate with others in Chinese although not very fluent (流利的).
Tony the UK With the rapid development of China these years, many companies in the UK need to trade with China much more than before. It means more businesses with Chinese and more people who can use Chinese are needed. For them, Chinese is worth learning. My friend, Daniel, is learning Chinese now.

Pinyin, a system (体系) that uses Latin letters, tells us how to pronounce Chinese characters. What you learned in your first Chinese class in primary school was probably pinyin. The year 2018 marked pinyin’s sixtieth birthday.
In 1958, Chinese linguist (语言学家) Zhou Youguang and his team Pinyin designed pinyin. Before that, Chinese people used many other methods to denote the pronunciation of Chinese characters. In ancient China, people used other Chinese characters that had the same pronunciation to denote Chinese characters. Some of the symbols were Chinese character strokes (笔画). For example, a vertical stroke (一竖) was pronounced as “i” in pinyin. Some people in the southeast of China still use this method. However, these methods are not as simple to use as pinyin. Because of pinyin, many illiterate (不识字的) people have learned how to read. We use pinyin to get Chinese characters into computers and phones. Pinyin has been useful in other ways too. It helps to introduce the use of Standard Chinese, or Mandarin, so people who speak different dialects (方言) can still understand each other.
Pinyin is not only popular in China. Many people around the world start to learn Chinese by learning pinyin. You might say “nihao” instead of “hello” to a foreign friend. The Oxford English Dictionary includes more than 100 Chinese words in pinyin, such as “zhongguomeng” for “Chinese dream”, and “wanggou” for “online shopping”.
Pinyin is not only a language, but also a cultural bridge that joins China to the world, Guangming Daily noted. Pinyin is still young, but it has been and will still be a useful tool (工具) in the future.
21.The underlined word “denote” in the second paragraph probably means “________” in Chinese.
A.改变 B.发展 C.奉献 D.标注
22.Paragraph 2 mainly tells us about ________.
A.the history of pinyin B.the designers of pinyin
C.the problems of pinyin D.the future of pinyin

A.pinyin is popular only in China B.pinyin is popular all over the world
C.pinyin will not be used in the future D.English will be replaced by pinyin
24.What does the writer think of the future of pinyin
A.Worrying. B.Unsure. C.Hopeful. D.Sad.
25.What can we learn from the passage
A.Pinyin is useful in many ways.
B.We will not use pinyin in the future.
C.Pinyin has been used since ancient China.
D.People in the southeast of China prefer to use Pinyin.

The Feynman Technique (费曼学习法) was developed by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman. It’s a study method that helps students learn by teaching others. Have you ever tried this kind of method when studying
The Feynman Technique has been one of the most effective (有效的) study methods for many years. For one thing, it helps students really understand something instead of just memorizing information. What’s more, unlike traditional study methods like rereading textbooks or reviewing notes, it pushes students to be more actively involved in the learning process.
★ To begin with, choose a topic you want to learn, including sub-topics (子主题). If not, you’ll end up jumping between topics without developing a deeper understanding of any of them.
Secondly, it is the heart of the Feynman Technique that you can explain the topic simply enough to be understood by a sixth-grade student. This requires you to help the child understand by using the simplest and clearest language possible. This step helps divide indigestible topics into their most basic parts.
Thirdly, review your explanation and try to find any area where you felt that you couldn’t explain the topic simply. When possible, it can be very helpful to get advice from someone whose understanding is similar to that of a sixth-grader, such as your best friend.
You can improve your explanation by using the information collected from the third step. Finally, repeat the steps. The Feynman Technique works best with repetition, and that is why going through all the steps just once is usually not enough to fully understand the topic. Once you’re confident you’ve learned the topic, it’s time to give yourself a prize. Perhaps, like me, enjoy a nice cup of coffee.
26.The question sentence in paragraph 1 aims to ________.
A.to tell a new story B.to report the result C.to lead in the topic D.to support the idea
27.What BIG question does paragraph 2 answer
A.When can we use the method B.What is the method
C.Why is the method helpful D.Who developed the method
28.Which of the following can be put in ★
A.You must choose a proper topic and sub-topics.
B.You can explain the concept in simple terms.
C.It is best to review and refine your explanation.
D.If you want to use the method to study better, follow these steps.
29.Who can you get suggestions from according to the third step
A.Your parents. B.Your teachers. C.A 12-year-old girl. D.An expert in learning.
30.What’s the writer’s attitude towards the Feynman Technique
A.Positive. B.Indifferent. C.Doubtful. D.Critical.
D

When learning English, most people felt uncomfortable about speaking. They could remember lots of words and knew grammar rules, but speaking was difficult. Here are some ideas that are from some people’s experience.
Don’t worry about making mistakes. 31 Actually, other people will still know your meaning and they probably won’t notice your mistakes.
Use every chance you get to speak. 32 For example, it’s a good idea to use only English in class and not to speak to your classmates in your own language. At home, you should also try practicing new words and grammar learnt in class.
Think about extra speaking practice outside the classroom. You can easily join a conversation group, such as the chat groups in the study centre. 33 You can go to the English club and speak English with others.
34 With the development of Internet, online study provides us with more chances to study English. There are lots of websites where you can communicate with someone from all around the world.
Be confident to speak aloud. Many people are shy and they can’t speak English with confidence. However, language is a tool for us to express and make others understand us. We just need to speak what we want to express, and not take much care about others’ opinions. 35 .
A.They are difficult to join.
B.Practice speaking online.
C.Also, there are many clubs in the school.
D.It’s good for you to take the chance to speak English.
E.Making mistakes is normal when learning a language.
F.I’m sure you can feel a lot more confident without thinking too much.

Learning language is very important. What is the 36 way to learn a language We should remember how we learned our own 37 well when we were children. If we could learn the second language in the same way, we would not feel so 38 . Let’s think of what 39 small child does: he 40 to what people say, and he tries to copy what he hears. When he wants something, he has to ask for 41 . He is using the language, talking in it and thinking it all the 42 . If a second language is 43 all the time, it will soon be learned. It is important to learn a language 44 hearing people speak it, not by seeing what they write. We copy what we hear. In school, you learn to read and write as well as to hear and speak, 45 it is best to learn all the new words through the ears. Then say them and you can read them, spell them and write them later.

阅读下面短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
Hello, I’m Adam Smith. Do you know that many people are trying to learn a new language these days Some of them consider it as a hobby, while others have to learn a language because it is required by their jobs or study. As a foreigner who is really interested in Chinese culture, I like learning Chinese.
It is thought that a person needs to know at least 3,000 Chinese characters (汉字) to understand most Chinese newspapers. The problem for most foreigners, however, is that knowing 3,000 characters sounds like an impossible task, for many of the Chinese characters look the same. That’s why some people give up halfway. It’s the most difficult part for me, too. But I manage to learn how to write each character by watching videos online. Whenever I saw a character I didn’t know in the street or on a menu, I would just write it down on my phone and then look it up. Slowly I’ve learned the characters that are common in daily life.
As for speaking, I practice talking about different topics in Chinese in my daily life. It is the key to practicing speaking and helps me to think in a Chinese way. For example, whenever I was going to a shop, I would think how to say that in Chinese. Learning a language is never easy. Basically, I just use every tool on hand (现有) and take my learning step by step, and I’m still learning new things to this day!
