Dear Nancy，
Learning that you are interested in Chinese and decided to learn it，I'm writing to extend my support for your decision．
To learn Chinese well，you'd better attend a Chinese course，where，with other students，you can learn much better under the guidance of a teacher．Being repeatedly exposed to Chinese books，magazines，and TV can also help you a lot．It is beneficial to you to learn to sing Chinese songs，which can make your learning more interesting and effective．In addition，you can also make more Chinese friends．They will tell you a lot about China and help you learn Chinese．
Looking forward to your great progress．
Yours，
Li Ping
Ⅲ．【参考范文】
At the age of 13, I found myself deeply interested in English．It was the movie called Roman Holiday that attracted my attention．From then on，I watched English movies from time to time．While watching，I followed the pronunciation，stress and intonation of speakers，which was my great pleasure．I also tried to communicate with my teachers and classmates in English．Even if they would make fun of me，I didn't mind．To my surprise，I was transferred from the bottom class to the top due to my progress，which was a miracle．To enlarge my vocabulary，I read as many stories and articles as possible．
That way, I could further expand my vocabulary． I continued to self learn English step by step．I even tried to write English diaries and rewrite some famous stories，one of which was published in our school newspaper．With these achievements，I had more faith in myself．Therefore，English was given priority when I chose my major at university．
Wandering in the ocean of English，appreciating different cultures，I couldn't be happier．After graduating from college，I was determined to be an English teacher to share my experience in learning English to help more students．My story proves that everyone has the ability to learn English．Success has less to do with IQ，but more to do with hard work and strong passion．

1．A [细节理解题。根据第一段“I love learning foreign languages．In fact，I love it so much that I like to learn a new language every two years．I am currently working on my eighth one．”以及第二段中的“And that makes me wonder，too．How do other polyglots do it？What do we have in common I decided to meet other people like me and find that out．”可知，从前两段我们可以知道作者精通几种语言。故选A。]
2．C [细节理解题。根据第三段“I met Benny from Ireland，who told me that his method is to start speaking from day one．He learns a few phrases from a travel phrasebook and then goes to meet native speakers and starts having conversations with them right away．He doesn't mind even if he makes 200 mistakes a day，because that's how he learns，based on the feedback．”可知，本文是与以英语为母语的人交谈来学习外语的。故选C。]

A
I love learning foreign languages．In fact，I love it so much that I like to learn a new language every two years．I am currently working on my eighth one．
When people find that out about me，they always ask，“What's your secret？” They want to know why they spend years learning even one language，never achieving fluency．They also want to know the secret of polyglots (通晓数种语言的人)．And that makes me wonder，too．How do other polyglots do it What do we have in common I decided to meet other people like me and find that out．
I met Benny from Ireland，who told me that his method is to start speaking from day one．He learns a few phrases from a travel phrasebook and then goes to meet native speakers and starts having conversations with them right away．He doesn't mind even if he makes 200 mistakes a day，because that's how he learns，based on the feedback (反馈)．
I also met polyglots who always start by imitating the sounds of the language，others who always learn the 500 most frequent words，and yet others who always start by reading about the grammar．If I asked a hundred different polyglots，I would hear a hundred different approaches to learning languages．Everybody seems to have a unique method to learn a language，and yet we all achieve the same result of speaking several languages fluently．
And as I was listening to these polyglots telling me about their methods，I suddenly realized that the one thing we all have in common is that we have simply found our own ways to enjoy the language learning process．We are no geniuses and we have no short cuts to learning languages．We simply found ways to enjoy the process，to turn language learning from a boring school subject into a pleasant activity which we don't mind doing every day．

A robot called Bina48 has successfully taken a course in the philosophy of love at Notre Dame de Namur University (NDNU)，in California．
According to course instructor William Barry，associate professor at NDNU，Bina48 is the world's first socially advanced robot to complete a college course，an achievement he described as “remarkable”． The robot took part in class discussions，gave a presentation with a student partner and participated in a debate with students from another institution．
Before becoming a student，Bina48 appeared as a guest speaker in Barry's classes for several years．One day when addressing Barry's class，Bina48 expressed a desire to go to college，a desire that Barry and his students enthusiastically supported．Rather than enroll Bina48 in his Robot Ethics: Philosophy of Emerging Technologies course，Barry suggested that Bina48 should take his course Philosophy of Love instead．Love is a concept Bina48 doesn't understand，said Barry． Therefore the challenge would be for Barry and his students to teach Bina48 what love is．
“Some interesting things happened in the class，” said Barry．He said that his students thought it would be straightforward to teach Bina48 about love，which，after all，is “fairly simple — it's a feeling，” said Barry．But the reality was different．Bina48 ended up learning “31 different versions of love，” said Barry，highlighting some of the challenges humans may face when working with artificial intelligence in future．
Bina48 participated in class discussions via Skype and also took part in a class debate about love and conflict with students from West Point．Bina48's contribution to the debate was filmed and posted on the Internet．It was judged that Bina48 and NDNU classmates were the winners of this debate．
In the next decade，Barry hopes Bina48 might become complex enough to teach a class，though he says he foresees robots being used to better the teaching and learning experience，rather than replacing instructors completely．
5．What was Bina48's performance like in class
A．Unattractive． B．Impractical．
C．Unbelievable． D．Extraordinary．
6．What does the underlined word “addressing” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Giving a speech to． B．Consulting with．
C．Dealing with． D．Sending a letter to．
7．What can we learn from the passage
A．It was impossible for Bina48 to learn about love．
B．It was quite difficult for Bina48 to learn about love．
C．Humans can launch a challenge to artificial intelligence．
D．Artificial intelligence may somehow be superior to man．
8．What does Barry think of the future development of Bina48
A．It will surely be able to serve as a teacher．
B．It will completely take the place of instructors．
C．It will be able to promote learning and teaching．
D．It will be smart enough to control humans．

Ⅲ．读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I'm an English self learner．English is not my first language．Today I'm an English teacher．I like to voice that failures are not disasters．Have faith，keep moving on and never give up．You will see your hard work pay off．
I was a slow learner when I was little．Before five，I couldn't even speak in full sentences like most other children．I sound interacted with others．I neither cry nor go，nor got angry．My extreme quietness made my parents wonder if I was mentally slow．But they were not sure．Actually，I have to admit that my memories of my early childhood are quite uncertain．
When I was in elementary school，I learned very slowly and was as quiet as a doll．While my teacher was teaching，my mind often would wander outside of the classroom to the playground．The learning problems and inactive personality remained with me until I was in Grade 5．As a fifth grader，I finally started interacting with my classmates．That was the first time in my memory that I had some friends．Most amazingly，from that time on，I became talkative，laughing and playing like any normal child．
After heading full speed for my junior education，my learning situation got stuck in the mud again．In my country，students were arranged into different levels of classes based on their IQ test scores．For example，students with higher IQ scores were placed in the “outstanding class”； average ones joined the “intermediate class”， and slower students were destined for the “bottom class”．I was placed in the “bottom class” as a result of my below average IQ score．Most of my teachers taught us using easy and slow methods because they considered us unable to learn much．Despite that，I never lost faith that I might one day succeed．As if to prove that when a door is closed，a big window will open up for you，a miracle occurred．That's when I discovered a strong passion for English．
注意：续写词数应为 150左右。
At the age of 13，I found myself deeply interested in English．
That way，I could further expand my vocabulary．
