AApplications for the 2018／19 academic year are now open．What’s it all about?The British Council in China is offering up to five ‘Generation UK—China’ scholarships for outstanding UK students who wish to study at mainland Chinese universities in“September 2018 or February 2019 for one semester or one year．Academic scholarships can be used at any mainland Chinese institution approved by the Ministry of Education to accept foreign students．You can decide where you want to be based and which subjects(at a non-degree level) you wish to study．The majority of students choose to study in Beijing．Do I need to speak Mandarin(普通话)?There are no language requirements for this programme．However，please check the course requirements of the Chinese institution you wish to study in．All language courses are suitable for complete beginners in Mandarin．However，there is the opportunity to be placed in classes for intermediate and advanced learners．In this case，you can expect an informal language test upon arrival to make sure you get put in the right class．If this is your first experience with the Mandarin language，we strongly recommend that you learn a few of the basics before you go．Why should I go?With 1.4 billion speakers worldwide，Chinese truly is a global language．Graduates who speak more than one language are highly sought—after，and with China’s increasing role in the world market，Mandarin is becoming a favourite among employers．Chinese universities attract many international students for their high-quality teaching and offer various scholarships．This is an opportunity to experience life in a completely different culture，gain new skills and improve your career prospects．21．What is the programme about?A．The UK students must study in China for one year．B．It offers scholarships for all outstanding UK students．C．Students can use scholarships at any Chinese institution．D．It gives scholarships for UK students to study in China．22．What is Chinese language requirement for the programme?A．Students must learn Mandarin from the basic level．B．It is necessary for students to have advanced level．C．Students had better gain some primary knowledge of Chinese．D．All the institutions have the same language requirements．23．What is the purpose of the programme?A．To attract students to study in China．B．To advertise the British Council in China．C．To introduce different universities in China．D．To stress the importance of the Chinese language．BThe 2013 Iron—Man Match took place on a cold and windy day in Lake Placid．While my dad had spent months training，nothing could have prepared him for what he met on that day．My entire family was there；however，I was supporting him from my summer camp，where I tracked him online．By 9：00 a．m．，my eyes were fixed on a dot on a screen that represented my father and his progress．He was making steady progress on the bike trail until all of，a sudden I saw his dot stop moving．I assumed this was a technical fault．After all，Camp Monroe Was not known for its Wi-Fi．Actually a gust of wind had caused a huge tent to blow into him，knocking him to the roadside．At the hospital，he discovered he had four broken bones．While still recovering from his accident，he was dealt a second blow．He was diagnosed(诊断)with cancer and，although still weak from his injuries，had to suffer from accelerated radiation and surgery．His athletic future was looking more and more bare．However，as he got better，he started to train again．Soon he was running weekly，bounding out of the house with a look of determination that both impressed and worried us．Much to our surprise，he just kept getting stronger．His desire to return to something he loved was greater than his expectation．Last summer，exactly three years after his accident，my father completed the Iron—Man once again．This time，he dashed across the finish line，his fist punching the air in celebration．Now，I believe in the power of determination to beat the odds，regardless of the circumstance．Today，because of my dad，I believe in setting my own rules，and not letting others command what I can or cannot do．And I believe that life is just like that little dot；it can be gone ina second，so we must make every moment count．24．What prevented Dad from moving on during the match?A．An accident．B．The flat tire．C．The technical fault．D．Terrible road conditions.25．How did the author feel about Dad’s future match while in hospital?
