Question

【題目】With the rapid development of China's economy, more and more foreigners begin to learn Chinese because they are beginning to realize the importance and growing influence of China. Pupils in Warwickshire will soon be learning Mandarin after new links were forged(建立聯(lián)系) with a region in China.

Head teachers from the county spent a week in Shenzhen in South-east China, making links with schools and touring different education establishments.

Schools that took part are now looking to introduce Mandarin lessons. Pupils from schools in Warwickshire and Shenzhen are starting to write and e-mail each other and plans are being made to share lessons over the Internet.

The trip was arranged by Warwickshire County Council and funded by the British Council as the first stage of development of a range of ties with the economically booming city.

International development officer Judith Young said: “We are entering an exciting period of school relation between Warwickshire and Shenzhen. There is a real appetite for sharing ideas among the Chinese. We were able to see the differences and similarities between the education systems and there are many areas in which our schools, teachers and pupils will be able to benefit from a different cultural perspective(觀點) and links with a country that is becoming very important on the world stage.

Throughout the high profile(引人注目) visit led by our county education officer, Eric Wood, our group was made to feel very welcome and attracted a great deal of interest. Our visit to a primary school was featured as the main news item on television that night. A mark of how highly the visit was valued is that plans are being made for a return visit to Warwickshire of civic leaders, senior education officials and school principals.”

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】A

【2】B

【3】C

【解析】隨著中國經(jīng)濟的快速發(fā)展，越來越多的外國人開始學(xué)習(xí)漢語，開始意識到中國的重要性和影響力越來越大，與中國建立學(xué)習(xí)普通話的聯(lián)系。讓雙方的老師與學(xué)生都能從中受益。

【1】A

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段內(nèi)容“Head teachers from the county spent a week in Shenzhen in South-east China, making links with schools and touring different education establishments.” 來自農(nóng)村的班主任在中國東南部的深圳待了一個星期，目的是加強與學(xué)校的聯(lián)系和參加不同的教育機構(gòu)。分析本句可知目的是與深圳學(xué)校加強聯(lián)系，故選A。

【2】B2. How does Judith Young feel about the future co-operation?

A. Upset. B. Confident.

C. Disappointed. D. Unsure.

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段Judith Young said “…teachers and pupils will be able to benefit from a different cultural perspective(觀點)…”Judith Young說老師和學(xué)生都能夠從不同的文化視角中獲益。根據(jù)本句可推斷出Judith Young 對合作的前景充滿信心。故選B。

【3】C

主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句“Pupils in Warwickshire will soon be learning Mandarin after new links were forged(建立聯(lián)系) with a region in China.”在沃里克郡的學(xué)生在與中國地區(qū)的學(xué)生建立新的聯(lián)系之后很快就會學(xué)普通話。由此哥推斷出C是正確的。
