A
Every week in China, millions of people will sit in front of their TVs watching teenagers compete for the title Character Hero, which is a Chinese spelling competition. In this challenge, young competitors must write Chinese characters by hand. To prepare for the competition, the competitors usually spend months studying dictionaries.
Perhaps the show’s popularity should not be a surprise. Along with gunpowder and paper, many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy (书法) to be one of their primary contributions. Unfortunately, all over the country, Chinese people are forgetting how to write their own language without computer’s help. Software on smart phones and computers allows users to type the word using the Latin alphabet (字母). The correct character is chosen from a list. The result? It’s possible to recognize characters without remembering how to write them.
But there’s still hope for the paint brush. China’s Education Ministry wants children to spend more time learning how to write.
In one Beijing primary school we visited, students practise calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls. Soft music plays as a group of six-year-olds dip brush pens into black ink. They look up at the blackboard often to study their teacher’s examples before carefully trying to reproduce those characters on thin rice paper. “If adults can survive without using handwriting, why bother to teach it now?” we ask the calligraphy teacher, Shen Bin. “The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture,” she reasons. “Students must learn now so they won’t forget when they grow up. ” says the teacher.
( )11. What can we learn about the Character Hero?
A．It draws great public attention across the country.
B．It’s the most-viewed TV programs in the world.
C．It means to spread Chinese culture to the world.
D．It’s open to people of all ages and all walks.
( )12. Why are Chinese people forgetting how to write the characters?
A．Chinese people don’t refer to dictionaries very often.
B．Chinese people no longer use brush pens or practice calligraphy.
C．Chinese people are using the Latin alphabet instead of the characters.
D．Chinese people needn’t write by hand as often with the help of technology.
( )13. According to Shen Bin, being able to write characters by hand is ______.
A．necessary for adults to survive in China
B．a requirement made by the Education Ministry
C．helpful to keep Chinese tradition and culture alive
D．an ability to be developed only when you are students
【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。作者通过叙述汉字拼写大赛谈到了汉字拼写的现状。

Any foreigner who has tried to learn Chinese can tell how hard it is to master the tones required to speak and understand. And anyone who has tried to learn to play the violin or other instruments can report similar challenges.
Now researchers have found that people with musical training have an easier time learning Chinese. Writing in the online edition of Nature Neuroscience, researchers from Northwestern University say that both skills draw on the same parts of the brain that help people discover changes in pitch(音调)．
One of the study’s authors, Nina Kraus, said the findings suggested that studying music “actually tunes our sensory system”. This means that schools that want children to do well in languages should hesitate before cutting music programs, Dr. Kraus said. She said music training might also help children with language problems.
Mandarin speakers have been shown to have a more complex encoding(编码)of pitch patterns in their brains than English speakers do. This is because in Mandarin and other Asian languages, pitch plays a central role. A single-syllable word can have several meanings depending on how it is intoned.
For this study, the researchers looked at 20 non-Chinese speaking volunteers, half with no musical background and half who have studied an instrument for at least six years.
As they were shown a movie, the volunteers also heard an audio tape of the Mandarin word “mi” in three of its meanings: squint, bewilder and rice. The researchers recorded activities in their brain stems to see how well they were processing the sounds. Those with a music background showed much more brain activities in response to the Chinese sounds.
The lead author of the study, Patrick C. M. Wong, said it might work both ways. It appears that native speakers of tonal languages may do better at learning instruments.
( )14. Why does Chinese learning have something to do with music training?
A．Because there is the same difficulty in learning Chinese and music.
B．Because skills to learn the two make use of the same parts of the brain.
C．Because music training might help people with language study.
D．Because people who do well in Chinese study do well in music.
( )15. The underlined word “intoned” in the fourth paragraph can be replaced by the word “________”．
A．created B．spelled
C．seemed D．pronounced
( )16. What would be the best title for this passage?
A．Mandarin Speakers Are Smarter Than English Speakers
B．Skilled Ear for Music May Help Language Study
C．Pitch Plays a Central Role in Chinese Learning
D．Schools Need to Develop Music Programs
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。任何一个学过汉语的外国人都知道掌握说话和理解所需要的声调有多难。目前有研究人员发现，受过音乐训练的人学习语言更容易。
14．B 细节理解题。根据第二段中“researchers from Northwestern University say that both skills draw on the same parts of the brain that help people discover changes in pitch”可知，汉语学习和音乐训练用到的都是大脑相同的部位，这些部位有助于人们发现音调中的变化。故汉语学习和音乐训练有关系。
15．D 词义猜测题。根据第四段中“This is because in Mandarin and other Asian languages，pitch plays a central role. A single-syllable word can have several meanings depending on how it is intoned. ” 可知，在普通话和其他亚洲语言中，音调起着关键作用。对一个单音节词而言，当人们以不同的音调说这个词时，这个词就表达出不同的意思。在第六段中以“mi”为例，这个词不同的音调就代表着不同的意思。故画线单词表达的应是人们对一个单音节词的“发音”。
16．B 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，研究表明，经过音乐训练的人，在学汉语方面会更加容易。音乐训练和汉语学习均用到了大脑相同的部位。该部位可以帮助人们更好地发现语调的变化，有助于人们学习语言。所以短文的最佳标题是“熟练的音乐听觉有助于语言学习”。

You may be surprised to learn that English gets 30 to 45 percent of its words from French. The reason goes back to the year 1066, when Norman forces invaded (入侵) what is now Britain. The Normans were from northern France and spoke French. During the Norman occupation, French became the language of England’s rulers and wealthy class. This lasted for more than 300 years. Other people in England continued to speak English during this period.
Over time, the two languages combined and shared words. Some researchers believe that about 10,000 French words eventually entered the English language. However, although English took many French words, their meanings have not always stayed the same. Sometimes the differences in meanings can be very important, and lead to funny or strange situations if the words are used in the wrong way.
Take, for example, the French word “college”. In English, college can often be used in place of the word “university”, or sometimes as a school within a university. However, in French, college actually means “middle school”, or the level of schooling for students in grades five or six through eight.
There are many other similar words in the two languages with completely different meanings. In English, the word “chat” is a verb which means “to talk casually”; but in French, the word “chat” is the word for an animal: a cat.
If an English speaker says someone is jolly, that means they are cheerful or friendly. But in French, “jolie” means someone is good-looking or pleasant to look at. In any case, both are nice things to say to someone.
( )17. What does the author stress about the French words in English?
A．Their spelling forms.
B．Their changes in history.
C．Their puzzles for English.
D．Their different meanings.
( )18. What does a Frenchman mean if he says he likes a chat?
A．He likes a kind of pet.
B．He wants to have a talk.
C．He hates to speak English.
D．He prefers to chat in French.
( )19. What is the French word “jolie” used to do?
A．Replace “jolly” in English.
B．Describe people’s looks.
C．Refer to people’s happiness.
D．Prove the change in French.
( )20. What is the text mainly about?
A．Comparison between two languages.
B．Difficulty in grasping English.
C．French words in English.
D．Development of English.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了英语中存在大量法语词汇的现象，解释了其原因并举例说明了它们在英语和法语中的不同含义。
17．D 推理判断题。根据第二段中“However, although English took many French words, their meanings have not always stayed the same. Sometimes the differences in meanings can be very important, and lead to funny or strange situations if the words are used in the wrong way. ” 可知，作者强调了英语中的法语单词的不同含义。
18．A 推理判断题。根据第四段中“In English, the word ‘chat’ is a verb which means ‘to talk casually’； but in French, the word ‘chat’ is the word for an animal: a cat. ”可知，如果一个法国人说他喜欢a chat，他的意思是“他喜欢一种宠物”，因为在法语里chat是cat的意思。
19．B 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“But in French, ‘jolie’ means someone is good-looking or pleasant to look at. ” 可知，在法语中jolie的意思是说某人长得好看或看上去是令人愉快的。由此可知，jolie 在法语里是用来“描述人的外表”。
20．C 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“You may be surprised to learn that English gets 30 to 45 percent of its words from French. ”和第二段中“Over time, the two languages combined and shared words. Some researchers believe that about 10,000 French words eventually entered the English language. ”可知，本文主要讲述的是“英语中的法语单词”。

Any foreigner who has tried to learn Chinese can tell how hard it is to master the tones required to speak and understand. And anyone who has tried to learn to play the violin or other instruments can report similar challenges.
Now researchers have found that people with musical training have an easier time learning Chinese. Writing in the online edition of Nature Neuroscience, researchers from Northwestern University say that both skills draw on the same parts of the brain that help people discover changes in pitch(音调)．
One of the study’s authors, Nina Kraus, said the findings suggested that studying music “actually tunes our sensory system”. This means that schools that want children to do well in languages should hesitate before cutting music programs, Dr. Kraus said. She said music training might also help children with language problems.
Mandarin speakers have been shown to have a more complex encoding(编码)of pitch patterns in their brains than English speakers do. This is because in Mandarin and other Asian languages, pitch plays a central role. A single-syllable word can have several meanings depending on how it is intoned.
For this study, the researchers looked at 20 non-Chinese speaking volunteers, half with no musical background and half who have studied an instrument for at least six years.
As they were shown a movie, the volunteers also heard an audio tape of the Mandarin word “mi” in three of its meanings: squint, bewilder and rice. The researchers recorded activities in their brain stems to see how well they were processing the sounds. Those with a music background showed much more brain activities in response to the Chinese sounds.
The lead author of the study, Patrick C. M. Wong, said it might work both ways. It appears that native speakers of tonal languages may do better at learning instruments.
( )14. Why does Chinese learning have something to do with music training?
A．Because there is the same difficulty in learning Chinese and music.
B．Because skills to learn the two make use of the same parts of the brain.
C．Because music training might help people with language study.
D．Because people who do well in Chinese study do well in music.
( )15. The underlined word “intoned” in the fourth paragraph can be replaced by the word “________”．
A．created B．spelled
C．seemed D．pronounced
( )16. What would be the best title for this passage?
A．Mandarin Speakers Are Smarter Than English Speakers
B．Skilled Ear for Music May Help Language Study
C．Pitch Plays a Central Role in Chinese Learning
D．Schools Need to Develop Music Programs
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。任何一个学过汉语的外国人都知道掌握说话和理解所需要的声调有多难。目前有研究人员发现，受过音乐训练的人学习语言更容易。
14．B 细节理解题。根据第二段中“researchers from Northwestern University say that both skills draw on the same parts of the brain that help people discover changes in pitch”可知，汉语学习和音乐训练用到的都是大脑相同的部位，这些部位有助于人们发现音调中的变化。故汉语学习和音乐训练有关系。
15．D 词义猜测题。根据第四段中“This is because in Mandarin and other Asian languages，pitch plays a central role. A single-syllable word can have several meanings depending on how it is intoned. ” 可知，在普通话和其他亚洲语言中，音调起着关键作用。对一个单音节词而言，当人们以不同的音调说这个词时，这个词就表达出不同的意思。在第六段中以“mi”为例，这个词不同的音调就代表着不同的意思。故画线单词表达的应是人们对一个单音节词的“发音”。
16．B 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，研究表明，经过音乐训练的人，在学汉语方面会更加容易。音乐训练和汉语学习均用到了大脑相同的部位。该部位可以帮助人们更好地发现语调的变化，有助于人们学习语言。所以短文的最佳标题是“熟练的音乐听觉有助于语言学习”。

You may be surprised to learn that English gets 30 to 45 percent of its words from French. The reason goes back to the year 1066, when Norman forces invaded (入侵) what is now Britain. The Normans were from northern France and spoke French. During the Norman occupation, French became the language of England’s rulers and wealthy class. This lasted for more than 300 years. Other people in England continued to speak English during this period.
Over time, the two languages combined and shared words. Some researchers believe that about 10,000 French words eventually entered the English language. However, although English took many French words, their meanings have not always stayed the same. Sometimes the differences in meanings can be very important, and lead to funny or strange situations if the words are used in the wrong way.
Take, for example, the French word “college”. In English, college can often be used in place of the word “university”, or sometimes as a school within a university. However, in French, college actually means “middle school”, or the level of schooling for students in grades five or six through eight.
There are many other similar words in the two languages with completely different meanings. In English, the word “chat” is a verb which means “to talk casually”; but in French, the word “chat” is the word for an animal: a cat.
If an English speaker says someone is jolly, that means they are cheerful or friendly. But in French, “jolie” means someone is good-looking or pleasant to look at. In any case, both are nice things to say to someone.
( )17. What does the author stress about the French words in English?
A．Their spelling forms.
B．Their changes in history.
C．Their puzzles for English.
D．Their different meanings.
( )18. What does a Frenchman mean if he says he likes a chat?
A．He likes a kind of pet.
B．He wants to have a talk.
C．He hates to speak English.
D．He prefers to chat in French.
( )19. What is the French word “jolie” used to do?
A．Replace “jolly” in English.
B．Describe people’s looks.
C．Refer to people’s happiness.
D．Prove the change in French.
( )20. What is the text mainly about?
A．Comparison between two languages.
B．Difficulty in grasping English.
C．French words in English.
D．Development of English.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了英语中存在大量法语词汇的现象，解释了其原因并举例说明了它们在英语和法语中的不同含义。
17．D 推理判断题。根据第二段中“However, although English took many French words, their meanings have not always stayed the same. Sometimes the differences in meanings can be very important, and lead to funny or strange situations if the words are used in the wrong way. ” 可知，作者强调了英语中的法语单词的不同含义。
18．A 推理判断题。根据第四段中“In English, the word ‘chat’ is a verb which means ‘to talk casually’； but in French, the word ‘chat’ is the word for an animal: a cat. ”可知，如果一个法国人说他喜欢a chat，他的意思是“他喜欢一种宠物”，因为在法语里chat是cat的意思。
19．B 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“But in French, ‘jolie’ means someone is good-looking or pleasant to look at. ” 可知，在法语中jolie的意思是说某人长得好看或看上去是令人愉快的。由此可知，jolie 在法语里是用来“描述人的外表”。
20．C 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“You may be surprised to learn that English gets 30 to 45 percent of its words from French. ”和第二段中“Over time, the two languages combined and shared words. Some researchers believe that about 10,000 French words eventually entered the English language. ”可知，本文主要讲述的是“英语中的法语单词”。
