    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

           This week, London will be full of celebrations to welcome the Year of the Rat. Every year, London’s Chinatown holds a great event to celebrate Chinese New Year, the largest event outside of Asia.

           This year in the UK, there seems to be a huge amount of interest in Chinese culture. For the third year running, the “China in London” season is being held. This extended event will run from February to April, ending in the Olympic torch relay, when the Olympic flame will pass through London on its way to the start of the Beijing Games.

           The “China in London” season will incorporate a huge number of events, ranging from art exhibitions to modern dance, film festivals to tea tastings, musical concerts to children’s half-term activities. In addition, another Chinese culture festival, “China Now” is launching at Chinese New Year.

           This is a nationwide season of events leading up to the Beijing Olympics. As well as cultural events, this programme includes an education programme for schools to develop relationships with China, and a Football Exchange, where the UK Football Association will be coaching children in China and offering a lucky few the chance to visit Britain on a football tour.

           The main Chinese New Year celebration will be held on Sunday 10th February, and is expected to attract around 300,000 visitors. It will showcase both traditional and contemporary Chinese arts, bringing together British-born and Chinese performers.

           The most important thing of the day is the grand parade(游行） through the streets of London, led by a traditional dragon dance, followed by musicians, acrobats, artists and children. There will be a large stage and screen in Trafalgar Square featuring(展现）martial arts, music and dance.

           It wouldn’t be Chinese New Year without fireworks and firecrackers, so Leicester Square will see displays on the hour all afternoon. Nearby theatres and arts centres will also be holding special New Year events, such as variety shows.

           Happy New Year to you, we hope you enjoy your celebrations as much as we will enjoy them in London.

    Next Hot Language to Study: Chinese
    The fourth-graders at Chicago’s McCormick Primary School are unaware of the difficulty in learning Chinese. For most, who speak Spanish at home, it’s becoming their third language. They’ve been learning and using Chinese words since kindergarten, and it’s now second nature to give a hearty “ni hao” when strangers enter the classroom.
    The classroom scene at McCormick is unusual, but it may soon be a common fixture(固定物) in American schools, where Chinese is rapidly becoming the hot new language. Government officials have long wanted more focus on security—useful languages like Chinese, and pressure from them—as well as from business leaders, politicians, and parents—has driven a quick growth in the number of programs.
    Chicago itself is home to the largest effort to include Chinese in US public schools. The program here has grown to include 3,000 students in 20 schools, with more schools on a waiting list. Programs have also spread to places like Houston, Los Angeles, New York City, and North Carolina. It’s true that the number of students learning Chinese is tiny compared with how many study Spanish or French.
    Advocates (提倡者，拥护者) see knowledge of the Chinese language and culture as a help in a global economy where China is growing in importance. “This is an interesting way to begin to engage with the world’s next superpower,” says Michael Levine, director of education at the Asia Society, which has started five new public high schools that offer Chinese. “Globalization（全球化) has already changed the arrangements in terms of how children today are going to need to think about their careers… The question is, when not whether, the schools are going to adjust.”
    In Chicago, the trend extends beyond schools with high numbers of Asian students. “The fact that my students are 98% low income and 99% Latino(拉丁美洲人) and they are succeeding in this, tells me everyone should have a try at learning languages,” says Virginia Rivera, principal at McCormick.“We want to give our young people opportunities to advance… and Chinese is a great opportunity to survive in today’s economy,” says Richard M. Daley, Mayor of Chicago.
    【小题1】The first paragraph is mainly written to _______.

    A．show the importance of Chinese learning
    B．introduce the topic to be followed
    C．advise primary schools to teach Chinese
    D．prove it’s easy for children to learn language
    【小题2】 How many languages are mentioned in this passage?
    A．Six.B．Two.
    C．Three.D．Four.
    【小题3】 In the last paragraph, the underlined word “this ”probably refers to _____.
    A．the competition between Latino and Asian students
    B．the global economy
    C．the interesting way to engage with China
    D．the Chinese learning
    【小题4】 What CANNOT be learned from this passage?
    A．Most students at McCormick can speak three languages.
    B．Chinese is gaining its popularity in all schools in Chicago.
    C．French has far more speakers than Chinese does in Chicago.
    D．Globalization in a way makes it necessary to learn Chinese.
    【小题5】 Which of the following is mainly about in this passage?
    A．The Chinese learning in Chicago.
    B．The ways to learn Chinese.
    C．McCormick Primary School.
    D．Globalization and Chinese learning.

    Evidently, our very first president, George Washington, thought being thankful was a big deal. In 1789 he declared the last Thursday in November to be a national Thanksgiving holiday. The intention was to strengthen the unity of the American people by encouraging them to gather together to honor their own families and give thanks for their country. Thanksgiving celebrations were popular even before the Indians and the Pilgrims famous feast. As time marched on, the people of the New England states continued to celebrate the holiday but the people in the lower states went about their own business ignoring it. Sarah Josepha Buell Hale, an active participant in her own community, was shocked. She believed Thanksgiving should be a priority（优先）in America for all Americans. She made a decision to be actively involved.

She wrote to President Zachery Taylor. He said no. Four years later, she wrote to President Franklin Pierce. He said no. Four years later, she wrote to President James Buchanan. He also said no. Finally, four years later, she got the attention of President Abraham Lincoln. He said, “Yes! “In 1863 he declared the fourth Thursday in November as a Thanksgiving National Holiday!
