April 20 marks United Nations Chinese Language Day. Our magazine has invited three Chinese learners to share stories of their studies!
Mike Fuksman, US: Learning Chinese brings me joy
One thing that I really appreciate about Chinese is that it is usually quite direct and literal. When you break each word down into its individual characters, they make sense together. “Elevator” is dianti—translated character by character, it means “electric stairs”. It’s pretty straightforward (直接的).
Alex Tani, UK: Learning Chinese can be enjoyable
For me Chinese had been a subject that could make the classroom deadly silent because how difficult it was to learn. But when I arrived in China in 2021, I found that learning the language could be enjoyable.
As a language lover, I would try to chat with locals in Chinese, sharing details about our daily lives. Sometimes we would also go to KTV together, where the vibe (氛围) was completely different from that of a classroom. The music and language learning flowed with ease.
Jennifer Holstein, US: Learning Chinese changed my life path
We stayed in school for 14 hours each day and attended listening, speaking, reading and writing classes. Even gym and music classes were in Mandarin (普通话). The process was challenging but I learned Mandarin quite well. In turn, opportunities started presenting themselves everywhere. Everyone wanted me to work for them. At that moment, I knew my effort was worth it.
1 What does Fuksman appreciate about Chinese?
A. Its straightforwardness. B. Its long history.
C. The way it is pronounced. D. The way it is written and read.
2. Which contributes to a more efficient and relaxing language learning?
A. A reliable language learning project.
B. Going to a KTV.
C. A good language learning environment.
D. A strict language teacher.
3. What does learning Chinese mean to Holstein?
A. It’s a long and boring journey.
B. It’s a lifetime task.
C. It opens the door to job opportunities.
D. It’s an interesting game.
【答案】1. A 2. C 3. C
【解析】

It was the day before Thanksgiving, and on the streets of New York City, people rushed about to prepare for the holiday. Among them was a man named Stuffy Pete, who was known for his big appetite.
As Stuffy Pete made his way down the street, he met another man, a well-dressed gentleman named Horace. Horace offered to treat Stuffy Pete to a Thanksgiving dinner at Delmonico’s, a fancy restaurant in the city. Stuffy Pete eagerly accepted, and the two men set off for the restaurant. On the way, Horace told Stuffy Pete about his own Thanksgiving tradition: every year, he visited the Tombs, a prison in the city, to bring a meal to a man named “Red” McGee.
When they arrived at Delmonico’s, Stuffy Pete had a great meal, while Horace ate only a small portion (一份) of soup. Afterward, they set off for the Tombs, where they were searched and admitted to the prison. There, they found “Red” McGee, who was surprised to see Horace. Horace explained that he had brought a Thanksgiving dinner for him, but “Red” McGee was ungrateful and insulting.
As they left the prison, Stuffy Pete was confused by Horace’s kindness to a man who showed no gratitude. Horace explained that he had once been like “Red” McGee, but had been given a second chance by someone who showed him kindness.
The two men parted ways, and Stuffy Pete walked home feeling grateful for his own life and the kindness of strangers.

As the world sees more and more extreme weather patterns, it’ s becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the effects of climate change. It is now a common topic of discussion and it has even found its way into the books we read. Because of this, a genre (类型) called climate fiction, or cli-fi, has found new life.
The term “cli-fi” was first used in 2007 by US climate activist it and writer Dan Boom. As the name suggests, climate fiction refers to stories with a central theme of climate change or global warming. These kinds of books can help us imagine what the world might be like in the future because of major climate change events.
Adeline Johns-Putra is a professor of literature at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool Universityin Suzhou and has edited many books on climate fiction. “It’s part of a pattern,” Johns-Putra told Smithsonian Magazine. “It’s a feedback loop (环), as these books feed into our awareness and that feeds into our demand to read these books.”
The genre is also gaining popularity with high school and college students because it looks at topics that are relevant to what’s really happening today. Also, many cli-fi novels tend to have dystopian (反乌托邦的) themes, which are very popular in young adult novels.
In 2015, cli-fi author Sarah Holding wrote for The Guardian that cli-fi “reconnects young readers with their environment”, which helps them appreciate it more, “especially when today, a large amount of their time is spent in the virtual world”.
Cli-fi has also helped to inspire students to pursue science majors, with some universities even offering courses specifically focusing on climate fiction.
“These books aren’t going to save the world in any straight form or way,” Johns-Putra commented. “But they’re certainly going to help us think about how the world gets saved.”
As Atwood wrote in her dystopian cli-fi novel Madd Addam, “People need such stories, because however dark, a darkness with voices in it is better than a silent void (空间).”
8. What is cli-fi?
A. Stories about country life.
B. Stories with dystopian themes.
C. Stories about the future.
D. Stories about climate change.
9. What effect does cli-fi have on young students?
A. It raises their awareness of the real world.
B. It encourages them to write their own cli-fi.
C. It teaches them to appreciate what they have.
D. It makes them more interested in the virtual world.
10. What does Atwood think of cli-fi?
A. They are too dark for people.
B. They tend to make people feel empty.
C. They should involve different voices.
D. They can get people to think about their reality.
11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the article?
A. To introduce a genre of fiction.
B. To warn readers of future climate crises.
C. To introduce a famous US climate activist.
D. To inspire students to choose science majors.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是气候小说或气候变化小说的流派的产生。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“As the name suggests, climate fiction refers to stories with a central theme of climate change or global warming.(顾名思义，气候小说是指以气候变化或全球变暖为中心主题的故事。)”可知，cli-fi是关于气候变化的故事。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第四段的“In 2015, cli-fi author Sarah Holding wrote for The Guardian that cli-fi “reconnects young readers with their environment”, which helps them appreciate it more, “especially when today, a large amount of their time is spent in the virtual world”.(2015年，气候变化小说作者Sarah Holding为《卫报》撰文称，气候变化小说“将年轻读者与他们所处的环境重新联系起来”，这有助于他们更加欣赏它，“尤其是在今天，他们的大量时间都花在了虚拟世界中”。)”可知，气候变化小说对年轻学生的影响是它提高了他们对现实世界的认识。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“As Atwood wrote in her dystopian cli-fi novel Madd Addam, “People need such stories, because however dark, a darkness with voices in it is better than a silent void (空间).”(正如Atwood在她的反乌托邦气候变化小说Madd Addam中所写的那样，“人们需要这样的故事，因为无论多么黑暗，有声音的黑暗总比寂静的空虚要好。”)”可知，Atwood认为气候小说可以让人们思考他们的现实，故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第二段的“The term “cli-fi” was first used in 2007 by US climate activist it and writer Dan Boom. As the name suggests, climate fiction refers to stories with a central theme of climate change or global warming. These kinds of books can help us imagine what the world might be like in the future because of major climate change events.(2007年，美国气候活动家兼作家Dan Boom首次使用了“气候变化小说”一词。顾名思义，气候小说是指以气候变化或全球变暖为中心主题的故事。这类书可以帮助我们想象由于重大气候变化事件，未来的世界可能会是什么样子。)”可知，作者写本文的目的是介绍一种新的写作体裁。故选A。
D
Earthquake forecasting is one of the most ancient skills known to mankind. From ancient Greece to the present day, countless scientists have tried to develop tools to predict earthquakes. Their attempts usually focused on searching for reliable evidences of coming quakes.
However, there are many reasons why predicting quakes is so hard. “We don’t understand some basic physics of earthquakes,” said Egill, a research professor at the California Institute of Technology. Scientists have also attempted to create mathematical models of movement, but precisely predicting would require great mapping and analysis of the Earth’s crust. Other challenges include a lack of data on the early warning signs, given that these warning signs are not yet entirely understood. Actually, real earthquake prediction is very similar to the diagnosis of potential human illnesses based on observing and analyzing each patient’s signs and symptoms. As it turns out，quake prediction is extremely difficult.
Many sources show that earthquake forecasting was a recognized science in ancient Greece. Ancient Greeks lived very close to nature and were able to detect unusual phenomena and forecast earthquakes. The first known forecast was made by Pherecydes of Syros about 2500 years ago: he made it as he scooped water from a well and noticed that usually very clean water had suddenly become muddy. Indeed, an earthquake occurred two days later, making Pherecydes famous. Nowadays, seismic and remote-sensing methods are considered to have the greatest potential in terms of solving the earthquake prediction problem.
Currently, Terra Seismic can identify a forthcoming earthquake with a high level of confidence. Generally, Terra Seismic does not predict a quake if the earthquake’s epicenter is located beyond a depth of 40 km. Fortunately, such quakes are almost always harmless, since quake’s energy reduces before reaching the Earth’s surface. “Scientists have tried every possible method to try to predict earthquakes,” Bruneau said. “Nobody has been able to crack it and make a believable prediction.”
12. Why is earthquake forecasting so difficult?
A. Some basic physics of earthquakes is unknown.
B. Data on early warning signs are fully understood.
C. Mapping and analysis of the Earth’s crust are impossible.
D. Earthquake prediction is the same as the diagnosis of human illness.
13. Why does the author give the example of Pherecydes?
A. To explain why Pherecydes was famous.
B. To explain Ancient Greeks lived very close to nature.
C. To show earthquake forecasting is a science with a long history.
D. To show remote-sensing methods are the best solution to earthquake prediction.
14. What does Bruneau mean in paragraph 4?
A. Scientists have methods to predict earthquake.
B. Terra Seismic can predict an earthquake.
C. Some quakes are harmless if quake’s energy is released.
D Scientists have no reliable method to predict an earthquake.
15. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The reasons for earthquake forecasting. B. The history of earthquake forecasting.
C. The methods of earthquake forecasting. D. The future of earthquake forecasting.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了地震预报是古老的技能，解释了地震预报困难的原因以及地震预报的历史和方法等。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“However, there are many reasons why predicting quakes is so hard. “We don’t understand some basic physics of earthquakes,” said Egill, a research professor at the California Institute of Technology.(然而，预测地震如此困难的原因有很多。“我们不了解地震的一些基本物理原理，”加州理工学院的研究教授Egill说)”可知，地震预报如此困难是因为地震的一些基本物理原理尚不清楚。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Many sources show that earthquake forecasting was a recognized science in ancient Greece. Ancient Greeks lived very close to nature and were able to detect unusual phenomena and forecast earthquakes. The first known forecast was made by Pherecydes of Syros about 2500 years ago: he made it as he scooped water from a well and noticed that usually very clean water had suddenly become muddy. Indeed, an earthquake occurred two days later, making Pherecydes famous.(许多资料表明，地震预报在古希腊是一门公认的科学。古希腊人生活在与自然非常接近的地方，他们能够探测到不寻常的现象并预测地震。已知的第一个预测是在2500年前由Syros的Pherecydes做出的：当他从一口井里舀水时，他注意到通常非常干净的水突然变得泥泞。事实上，两天后发生了地震，Pherecydes因此而出名)”可推知，作者举Pherecydes的例子是为了表明地震预报是一门历史悠久的科学。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段““Scientists have tried every possible method to try to predict earthquakes,” Bruneau said. “Nobody has been able to crack it and make a believable prediction.”(Bruneau说：“科学家们已经尝试了所有可能的方法来预测地震。没有人能够破解它，做出可信的预测。”)”可推知，Bruneau在第4段中的意思是科学家没有可靠的方法来预测地震。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Earthquake forecasting is one of the most ancient skills known to mankind. From ancient Greece to the present day, countless scientists have tried to develop tools to predict earthquakes. Their attempts usually focused on searching for reliable evidences of coming quakes.(地震预报是人类已知的最古老的技能之一。从古希腊到现在，无数的科学家试图开发预测地震的工具。他们的努力通常集中在寻找即将发生地震的可靠证据上)”结合文章主要说明了地震预报是古老的技能，解释了地震预报困难的原因以及地震预报的历史和方法等。可知，这篇文章的主旨是地震预报方法。故选C。

【答案】Dear schoolmates,
Nowadays, an increasing number of animals are close to extinction. Now I am writing to appeal to everyone to make their own contribution to the protection of animals.
The key reason for animal extinction is that we humans hunt too much and destroy animal habitats. Then there is the damage caused by warming. In order to save the world’s animals, we should do our part to publicize not to destroy the habitat of animals, not to indiscriminately kill rare animals.
Here, I sincerely advocate that we all love animals and protect the environment.

57. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When we lived on a farm, a black-and-white Border Collie mix showed up at our gate one day. My young son Alec fell in love with this dog instantly, and within an hour, he had named him Oreo.
Within a day, I could see how he would make a house in a mess. The great outdoors itself barely seemed enough space for him to run. When he was let out of his fence, he became a mass of black-and-white fur rushing all over the place at breakneck speed. He never seemed to be tired of running, of jumping on people, or of barking. His high energy was entertaining, but also wearing (令人疲惫的). So it was usually my husband Gary’ s job to leash (栓链子) him up for walks.
One day in late summer, Gary, Alec, and I walked with Oreo to the edge of the field and loosed the leash. He took off on his normal run across the juicy, green fields and soon disappeared over the top of a hill. My family walked on the path along the fence at a much slower pace, looking for four-leafed clovers (四叶草) when suddenly we heard barking behind us.
We turned to see two unfamiliar dogs speeding toward us, and they did not look friendly. Ears back, teeth bared, they flew toward us over the dirt path. Gary pushed Alec and me toward a tree with some low-hanging branches. “Get Alec in the tree,” he ordered as he picked up a heavy stick. Heart pounding, I lifted Alec onto a branch, and Gary squared off (摆好架势) to face the attacking dogs and give us time to get into the tree.
注意：
1.所续写短文的词数应为80词左右；
2.续写部分为一段，开头语已为你写好。
Suddenly, a black-and-white ball shot over the hill and hit the bigger of the two dogs.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Suddenly, a black-and-white ball shot over the hill and hit the bigger of the two dogs. It was our Oreo who, seeing us in danger, bravely dived down the hill and bravely charged towards the fierce dogs. The bigger dog was thrown to the ground, and the other dog was also stunned by Oreo. The fallen dog struggled to stand up. They immediately backed away and were still barking at us. Gary held the stick to scare them. Oreo courageously pursued, and they obediently ran away with their tails between them. We were very grateful to Oreo for protecting us in times of danger. Coming down from the tree, Alec warmly hugged Oreo.
