Everyone loves ice cream.But Ecuadorians，particularly in Andean cities，are convinced they love it more there than anywhere else.There are art shows made about it，no celebration is considered complete without it，and it’s everywhere—even early on a weekday morning.
“I eat ice cream every single day，” says Javier Lasluisa，a chef in Quito.“It’s an off day if I don’t at least taste it.” His father and grandfather were both “ice cream men”，he says，making and selling the treat.And he and his wife recently started developing recipes for their own ice cream brand.He says it may not be daily food for all Ecuadorians.But it’s a key part at any special event or festival in the Andean zone of the nation.“We are a country that values our traditions，and ice cream is a part of that，” he says.
Local legend has it that Angél Lozado’s great-great-great-great grandmother Rosalia Surez “invented” the special style of ice cream，“helado de paila”，in Ecuador.Mr Lozado carries on the tradition by running Helados de Paila Fifth Generation Rosalia Surez.Five generations later，he says that he has a lot of extended family members running their own ice cream operations，big and small.And although he has moved toward a more industrialized approach to ice cream production，he says he still rents his services making the copper-pot(铜锅的) traditional type for weddings and parties.
“One can function without ice cream，but a celebration doesn’t feel complete without it，” Mr Lozado says.“The tradition of eating ice cream is kept alive in many ways by making it the old-fashioned way.”
Martina Mino Pérez，an Ecuadorian visual artist and cook，has organized several interactive art projects that revolve around ice cream，taste，and memory.The idea was inspired，in part，by memories of a childhood birthday party and how she can feel transported back to that moment and her mother’s homemade ice cream when eating lemon-flavored sweets.“Ice cream is a good way to symbolize memory，” she says.“Memory is never full; it’s always incomplete.Frozen in time until it melts away(融化)．”

Mary-Jo Saunders goes to kindergarten every morning，just like many other five-year-olds in New York.Today，she is learning a poem.What is special is that it is a Chinese poem and that she is able to recite it without an accent.Soon she is going to learn Chinese handwriting too.“Learning the world’s most spoken language might give Mary-Jo a head start in her future career，” says her mother Alison.“I think it’s good for her to stretch herself by listening to and pronouncing new sounds，as well as learning to read and write Chinese characters.”
More and more ambitious parents in the world are signing their children up for Chinese classes.Keen for their sons and daughters to succeed in life，they see being fluent in a second or third language as an advantage.Learning Chinese is becoming such a global interest that the language has been included in the education systems of more than 75 countries.Over 4,000 overseas universities offer Chinese language courses and about 25 million people are learning Chinese outside China.
It is easy to understand why Chinese is becoming so popular.Learning Chinese may help people get more job opportunities.China is already a global economic power，and its influence is growing.For example，there is China’s Belt and Road Initiative，which motivates many countries along the Silk Road to cooperate more closely.It has created thousands of local jobs，many of which need people with a knowledge of Chinese.Another reason is that studying Chinese provides access to wonderful Chinese history and culture.Adam Turner，a school head teacher in the UK，cites this as one of the most appealing aspects of the recently added Chinese course.“Students love the mystery of China，” he explains.“They want to know all about its traditions，dynasties and art forms.Learning Chinese helps them see life from a new perspective(角度) and broaden their minds to the outside world.”

Everyone loves ice cream.But Ecuadorians，particularly in Andean cities，are convinced they love it more there than anywhere else.There are art shows made about it，no celebration is considered complete without it，and it’s everywhere—even early on a weekday morning.
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。本文主要围绕厄瓜多尔人对冰激凌的热爱展开，介绍了相关人物与冰激凌的故事以及冰激凌在当地所承载的文化意义等内容，展现了冰激凌作为一种文化传统在厄瓜多尔的独特地位。
Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
“I eat ice cream every single day，” says Javier Lasluisa，a chef in Quito.“It’s an off day if I don’t at least taste it.” His father and grandfather were both “ice cream men”，he says，making and selling the treat.And he and his wife recently started developing recipes for their own ice cream brand.He says it may not be daily food for all Ecuadorians.But it’s a key part at any special event or festival in the Andean zone of the nation.“We are a country that values our traditions，and ice cream is a part of that，” he says.
Local legend has it that Angél Lozado’s great-great-great-great grandmother Rosalia Su rez “invented” the special style of ice cream，“helado de paila”，in Ecuador.Mr Lozado carries on the tradition by running Helados de Paila Fifth Generation Rosalia Su rez.Five generations later，he says that he has a lot of extended family members running their own ice cream operations，big and small.And although he has moved toward a more industrialized approach to ice cream production，he says he still rents his services making the copper-pot(铜锅的) traditional type for weddings and parties.
“One can function without ice cream，but a celebration doesn’t feel complete without it，” Mr Lozado says.“The tradition of eating ice cream is kept alive in many ways by making it the old-fashioned way.”
Martina Mino Pérez，an Ecuadorian visual artist and cook，has organized several interactive art projects that revolve around ice cream，taste，and memory.The idea was inspired，in part，by memories of a childhood birthday party and how she can feel transported back to that moment and her mother’s homemade ice cream when eating lemon-flavored sweets.“Ice cream is a good way to symbolize memory，” she says.“Memory is never full; it’s always incomplete.Frozen in time until it melts away(融化).”

解析

解析
4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A.To publicize a trip destination.
B.To introduce a cultural tradition.
C.To show new ways of making ice cream.
D.To point out the importance of celebrations.

Mary-Jo Saunders goes to kindergarten every morning，just like many other five-year-olds in New York.Today，she is learning a poem.What is special is that it is a Chinese poem and that she is able to recite it without an accent.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了学习中文的全球趋势及其原因。
Soon she is going to learn Chinese handwriting too.“Learning the world’s most spoken language might give Mary-Jo a head start in her future career，” says her mother Alison.“I think it’s good for her to stretch herself by listening to and pronouncing new sounds，as well as learning to read and write Chinese characters.”
More and more ambitious parents in the world are signing their children up for Chinese classes.Keen for their sons and daughters to succeed in life，they see being fluent in a second or third language as an advantage.Learning Chinese is becoming such a global interest that the language has been included in the education systems of more than 75 countries.Over 4,000 overseas universities offer Chinese language courses and about 25 million people are learning Chinese outside China.
It is easy to understand why Chinese is becoming so popular.
Learning Chinese may help people get more job opportunities.China is already a global economic power，and its influence is growing.For example，there is China’s Belt and Road Initiative，which motivates many countries along the Silk Road to cooperate more closely.It has created thousands of local jobs，many of which need people with a knowledge of Chinese.Another reason is that studying Chinese provides access to wonderful Chinese history and culture. Adam Turner，a school head teacher in the UK，cites this as one of the most appealing aspects of the recently added Chinese course. “Students love the mystery of China，” he explains.
“They want to know all about its traditions，dynasties and art forms.Learning Chinese helps them see life from a new perspective(角度) and broaden their minds to the outside world.”
5.Why does Mary-Jo Saunders’s mother have her learn Chinese
A.To give her an advantage in future work.
B.To make her a top student in kindergarten.
C.To support her to grow into a poetry expert.
D.To improve her handwriting skills in general.

解析
7.What can be inferred from Adam Turner’s words
A.Learning Chinese can ensure a promising future.
B.Spreading Chinese language and culture is necessary.
C.Studying Chinese can help develop cultural awareness.
D.Starting a new Chinese learning program has been an appeal.
√

解析
8.What could be the best title for the text
A.Global Popularity of Learning Chinese

C.The Importance of Being Ambitious Parents
D.How China’s Belt and Road Initiative Progresses
