Yet so few of us realize them. Often, a dream dies as quickly as it is born 36 we lack the confidence to keep it. When I was old enough to understand the realities of life, I realized that society puts a high 37 on youth, beauty and academic achievement. This discovery gave me some idea to develop my dream although I was 38 .My dream was 39 .I just dreamed of becoming a 40 when I was in secondary school. The employment field was a highly 41 place. It gave not only fierce competition to a disabled job-seeker but also the unfriendly treatment from the 42 strong and healthy. They see the disabled as the back row of society.43 , I refused to sit in the back row. I decided to 44 a course in typing run by the government. When I 45 over the application form to the interviewer, she looked at me, then moved her eyes to my body. She advised me to 46 my choice from typing. But I was 47 to stay with it. “I will be a really good typist,” I told her. She 48 me.On the fifth month of the sixth-month course, five students were 49 to do some copy typing. I was one of them. I was very efficient and finished half of the work given to us all.50 work came to me after this test. I could see quite clearly the way to 51 my dream. I was taken on as one of the typists in one of the offices immediately after my graduation. I did not 52 starting at the bottom of the ladder. Being a typist was just the beginning of the 53 . Having achieved one dream, I set out to achieve others. I worked and studied at the same time, which was no easy task. But all my efforts paid 54 at last.Dreamers should keep reaching out for their dreams, whatever the 55 , until they get what they want in life and live their dreams.36.

Or have you ever received a telephone call from a retailer asking you whether an item you purchased a month before was meeting your needs？No doubt you noticed these gracious acts．Business firms in this highly competitive decade are quick to institute programs designed to ensure product and service quality．But it's often the ''little things'' that help build a permanent tie between seller and buyer．If you want to make those ''little things'' a high customer service priority，here are a few tips for you to follow．Make a list of the simple, but gracious acts you can perform for your customers．It might include handing out key chains or other small gifts to customers after a purchase, or extending delivery service to elderly customers．Just be sure every item is realistic，economical and easy to carry out．Training in the ''little things'' helps your people learn skills and attitudes．If you want your people to hand out small gifts of your business, be sure they're kept in stock．If you want your people to take extra time with customers, be sure you schedule enough staffing during peak business hours．If you want your people to follow up with customers on the telephone at the end of each month, be sure you drop the sales load a bit at that time．Training in the ''little things'' doesn't end with a single activity．It must become part of everyday life in your business．Emphasize the importance of the ''little things'' by word and deed．Be sure everyone visibly practices the art of customer courtesy each day．Announce the power of the ''little things'' through every possible means. The more cheer leading you do about this topic, the more it will become deeply fixed in the workplace．56. The underlined word ''gracious'' can most likely be replaced by _______．A．surprising B．warmhearted C．interesting D．kind 57. If you want your people to accompany customers much longer,_______．A．be sure little things are kept in stockB．be sure enough assistants are available during rush business hoursC．be sure you drop the sales load a bit at that timeD．be sure to let them follow up with you58. The main idea of this passage is ________A．how to train the employees in the business firmB．the importance of ''little things'' in today's businessC．the necessity of giving away little thingsD．praising employees who show courtesy to customersBApparently, we are safe neither at home nor in the business office. We use water in both places，but the research shows that chemicals added to our local water supply to kill harmful bacteria can have unwanted side effects. These chemicals can cause potential harm through drinking and in seemingly harmless activities as cleaning one’s house.They are released from water by daily actions like water running out of tap, spraying from garden pipes, or splashing in dishwashers and washing machines. As the water is moving, these chemicals are released into the air and then breathed in. Once inside our bodies, they start to affect our health.Does this mean we should stop bathing? No, say the scientists, but we should put all pollution into perspective. Activities at home such as the burning of coal, cooking oil, or even candles release carbon monoxide and particulates such as cigarette ashes which have been proven as harmful to health as working or living near heavy traffic. New tugs, bedding, and even clothing give off that “new smell”, which is a sure sign of chemicals. In the office, newly applied paint, newly purchased telephones and other telecommunications equipment, and computers release polluting chemicals, too. As offices and homes often have inadequate ventilation (通风), these chemicals can build up to become health problems. Their poisonous effects are only now being slowly recognized.These facts suggest that, at a minimum, proper airing of newly purchased goods with an obvious chemical smell is a wise warning. Home and office windows should be opened during good weather. Even one’s car needs to be ventilated as well while in the garage.We need further research to understand better other potential health dangers, too. For example, the effects of overcrowding of schools (carbon dioxide build-up ), the factory work environment ( an endless list of potentially dangerous substances), and even home heating andcooling (the air conditioner may be our enemies, not our friends) have only recently started to come to light. Until we understand the effects of our new technological environment better, we can only hope that “there is no place like home.”59. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A. The air we breathe in is harmful.B. Chemicals are released in the running water.C. Chemicals are added to the drinking water.D. The water in everyday use is unsafe.60. In Paragraph 2, the underlined sentence means that ___________________________.A. homes and offices should be aired oftenB. any pollution should be taken into considerationC. bathing should be done with cautionD. we should prevent any pollution from doing harm to us61. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To call on us to guard our water.B. To show us that no place is like home.C. To make us aware of the pollution around us.D. To argue that neither homes nor offices are safe.CTOKYO --- The number of domestic infections cases of influenza A/H1N1 in Japan hits 42 on Sunday after a total of 34 people in Osaka and Hyogo counties were confirmed to have been infected, local media reported.The total number of the infection in the country now stands at 46, including the first four cases contracted abroad. The country is now facing the risk of grass-root outbreak which could lead the WHO to raise its new flu pandemic alert（传染病预警）to the highest level of 6 from the current 5, experts has warned.The 34 newly confirmed domestic cases, 11 in Osaka and 23 in Hyogo, included high school students, college students and teachers, the health ministry and local governments said on Sunday. Japan on Saturday confirmed the first eight cases of domestic infection on students of a Kobe high school. The later confirmed cases in Osaka are said to have contacted the Kobe students in a volleyball match. Osaka and Hyogo are neighboring in the Kansai region.All of the 42 people had no record of overseas travel. Meanwhile, a total of 143 students at the Kansai Okura Senior High School where many infections in Osaka were found, have shown symptoms of influenza since around Monday, according to local media reports. The privately run school said it will be closed from Monday through Saturday. More than 1,000 educational facilities -- kindergartens, and elementary, junior and senior high schools -- in Osaka and Hyogo counties have decided to suspend classes for certain periods following the confirmation of new flu infections in the counties, Kyodo News reported.The two counties have requested private schools to follow suit. Osaka Governor Toru Hashimoto held a meeting of a new flu task force on Sunday and decided to ask facilities such as movie theaters to suspend operations to prevent the spread of the flu. TV clips showed people in Kansai region started to wear masks in public spaces and rushed to drug stores for buying medicines.The Japanese government on Saturday shifted the stage of its new-flu action program from “a period of overseas outbreak” to “a period of domestic outbreak” and called for companies and schools in the areas concerned to allow individuals to avoid commuting(出行)during rush hours.The Kyodo News quoted Masato Tashiro, a member of the World Health Organization's emergency committee, as saying that several hundred people in Japan already may have been infected with the new flu.62. According to the passage, the total number of the A/H1N1 infection in Japan now is__________.A. 42B. 34C. 46D. 14363. The reasons for the happening of the later confirmed cases in Osaka are the following Except__________.A. 143 students at the Kansai Okura Senior High School have shown symptoms of influenza.B. Some students in a Kobe High school got infected.C. Osaka and Hyogo are next to each other in the Kansai region.D. The later infected people contacted the Kobe students in a volleyball match.64. What is the implied meaning of what Masato Tashiro said in the last paragraph?A. The real situation about the new flu in Japan may be worse than it has been reported.B. Several hundred people have been infected but they don’t know it.C. The WHO has to raise its new flu pandemic alert to the highest level.D. The WHO’s emergency committee are trying to confirm the number of infection in Japan.65. Which of the following is one of the measures already taken by the Japanese government?A. Raising the new flu pandemic alert to the highest level.B. Holding a meeting to ask some facilities in the country to stop their operations.C. Calling for individuals in the whole country to avoid commuting during rush hours.D. Changing its stage of its new-flu action program to a more serious level.66. The purpose of the passage is __________.A. to introduce the domestic infection cases in Japan.B. to draw people’s attention to the worsening situation of influenza A/H1N1 in Japan.C. to give some advice on preventing the spread of the flu.D. to call for educational facilities in Japan to suspend classes for some time.DHigh school dropouts earn an average of $ 9,000 less per year than graduates. Now a new study dispels a common belief about why they quit. It’s much more basic than flunking out（不及格）.Society tends t o think of high school dropouts as kids who just can’t cut it. They are lazy, and perhaps not too bright. So researchers were surprised when they asked more than 450 kids who’d quit school about why they left.“The vast majority actually had passing gra des and they were confident that they could have graduated from high school.” John Bridgeland, the executive researcher said. About 1 million teens leave school each year. Only about half of African-American and Hispanic（美籍西班牙的）students will receive a diploma, and actually all dropouts come to regret their decision. So, if failing grades don’t explain why these kids quit, what does? Again, John Bridgeland: "The most dependable finding was that they were bored.” “They found classes uninteresting; they weren’t inspired or motivated. They didn’t see any direct connection between what they were learning in the classroom to their own lives, or to their career aspirations.”The study found that most teens who do drop out wait until they turn sixteen, which happens to be the age at which most states allow students to quit. In the US, only one state, New Mexico, has a law requiring teenagers to stay in high school until they graduate. Only four states: California, Tennessee, Texas and Utah, plus the District of Columbia, require school attendance until age 18, no exceptions. Another researcher says raising the compulsory attendance age may be one way to keep more kids in school．“As these dropouts look back, they realize they’ve made a mistake. And anything that sort of gives these people an extra push to stick it out and stick it through to the end, is probably helpful measure.”New Hampshire may be the next state to raise its school attendance age to 18. But critics say that forcing the students unwilling to continue their studies to stay in school misses the point－the need for reform. It's been called for to reinvent high school education to make it more challenging and relevant. And to ensure that kids who do stick it out receive a diploma that actually means something.67. Most high school students drop out of school because＿＿．A. they have failing gradesB. they take no interest in classesC. they are discriminated againstD. they are lazy and not intelligent68. According to the passage, which state has a law requiring school attendance until theygraduate?A. New Hampshire.B. Utah.C. New Mexico.D. The District of Columbia.69. The underlined words “stick it out” probably means“___________”．plete schoolingB.solve the problemC.love having classesD.believe in themselves70. In the last paragraph, the writer is trying to____________.A. analyze the reason why students quit schoolB. suggest raising the compulsory attendance ageC. raise awareness of reforming high school educationD. wish to make laws to guarantee no educationII卷（共35分）第一节任务型阅读（共10小题，满分5分）The latest scientific studies show that the sun and the oceans have far more important influences on the world's climate than human activity.The head of the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC), Professor Fred Singer, put forward a suggestion to the UN-sponsored IPCC. He said, “We donated our time and best efforts to produce this report out of concern that the IPCC gave us an incorrect reason for global-warming based on incomplete and faulty science.”“Global-warming news has led to the demand for unrealistic efficiency standards for cars, the construction of uneconomic wind and solar energy stations, the establishment of large production facilities for uneconomic fuels such as ethanol(乙醇) from corn, requirements that electric companies buy expensive power from so-called‘renewable’energy sources, and plans to reduce, at considerable expense, carbon dioxide from power plants.“While it is absolutely nothing wrong to increase energy efficiency, they cannot be regarded as a realistic means to control climate. In addition, policies have been developed that try to hide the huge cost of greenhouse gas controls.“Seeing science clearly misused to shape public policies that have the potential to cause serious economic harm, particularly on low-income groups, we choose to speak up for science at a time when too few people outside the scientific community know what is happening, and too few scientists who know the truth have to speak out against the IPCC.”NIPCC is what its name suggests: an international organization of non-governmental scientists and scholars who have come together to understand the causes and consequences of climate change.“Because we don't believe climate change is caused by human greenhouse gas, we are able to look at evidence the IPCC ignores. Because we do not work for any governments, we can make our research more scientific and fairer.”第二节单词拼写(共10小题,满分5分)1. The event did not live up to e___________________________.2.

第Ⅰ卷 阅读题一、现代文阅读（35分）（一）现代文阅读Ⅰ（本题共5小题，19分） 阅读下面的文字，完成1-5题。
材料一：在漫长的古代历史上，人类对历史的认知方式大致经历了三个发展阶段。
在文字产生之前，传递历史记忆与生产、生活经验的主要方法是口耳相传。
“当人类之渐进而形成一族属或一部落也，其族部之长老每当游猎斗战之隙暇，或值佳辰今节，辄聚其子姓……纵谈己身或其先代所经之恐怖、所演之武勇……展转作谈料，历数代而未已。
”在文字发明之前，人们主要通过口耳相传的方式来认知历史。
文字产生之后，人们开始用文字在某些载体上记录自身的实践活动，形成了大量的文书和文献资料。
两河流域的古巴比伦、赫梯、亚述，尼罗河流域的古埃及等王朝与帝国，留下了数量可观的铭文、档案文书、王名表、编年史等。
中国的商、周时期，统治者设置专门的史官，记录重大事件与保存重要文书。
历史记事作为一种历史认知方式，它通过用文字记录国家的政治、经济、军事与宗教等事务，形成了大量第一手的档案史料。
然而，历史记事所留下的文字记载，“彼此之间是孤立的，没有标明互相间的关系”。
历史记事的不足之处，是所记事件的简要性与所记事件之间的不连贯性。
从历史记事到历史叙事，是人类在历史认知方式上的一次重大飞跃。
历史叙事与历史记事的不同在于：历史叙事的结构“一系列事件之间具有连贯性”，历史记事则是片段式的、不相连贯的；历史叙事的要素相对完整，包括“故事、人物、观点和意义”。

2021年高二上学期第二次月考英语试题 Word版缺答案第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）ATo get an extra 14 years of life, don't smoke, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly and drink alcohol in a proper amount. That is according to a study published this Monday in the Public Library of Science Medicine Journal.After tracking more than 20,000 people aged 45-79 years in the United Kingdom from about1993-xx, Kay-Tee, Khaw of the University of Cambridge and his colleagues found that people who adopted these four healthy habits lived an average of 14 years longer than those who didn't."We've known for a long time that these behaviors are good things to do, but we've not seen this benefit before," said Susan Jebb, head of Nutrition and Health at Britain's Medical Research Council. "The benefit was also seen regardless of whether or not people were fat and what social class they came from."Study participants (参与者) scored a point each for not smoking, regular physical activity, eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day and moderate alcohol intake.Public health experts said they hoped the study would inspire governments to introduce policies helping people to adopt these changes. But because the study only observed people rather than testing specific changes, it would be impossible to conclude that people who suddenly adopted these healthy behaviors would surely gain14 years."We can't say that any person could gain 14 years by doing these things," said Doctor Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization." The 14 years is an average across the population of what's theoretically (理论上) possible.""Most people know that things like a good diet matter and that smoking is not good for them", Susan Jebb said, "We need to work on providing people with much more practical support to help them change."1. Which of the following doesn't belong to the four healthy habits?A. Eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day.B. Having a cigarette before going to bed every day.C. Doing proper exercise in the morning every day.D. Drinking alcohol in the proper amount every day.2. We can learn from the passage that _____.A. the study observed people as well as tested specific changesB. only those from first class can benefit from these healthy behaviours.C. there is no need for people under 45 adopt these good habits.D. Susan Jebb did not take part in the study .3. What can be inferred from the passage?A All the people are well aware of the harm of their bad habits.B. People aged 45-79 have bad habits in the United Kingdom.C. Governments should take measures to help people change their bad habits.D. People have adopted the four healthy habits after knowing they're good.4. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Healthy Habits May Gain You Extra 14 yearsB. Smoking and Drinking Cuts You 14 YearsC. A New Way of Keeping HealthyD. Smoking and Drinking Harms Your HealthBA trip to the library can change your life. That is the idea of the Get It Loud in Libraries project，which challenges the habit of speaking in a low voice. The sweet tones of singer Diana Vickers rang out recently，surrounded by books as well as fans，at Lancaster Library.Plan B，Adele，Florence and the Machine，Speech Debelle，and the Thrills have also performed for the project.This five-year project aims to increase access(进入) to libraries while developing youth talent and has attracted more than 8,500 visitors,5,000 of whom are first time library users.“I think it’s wonderful，”Vickers says. “I’ve been playing in front of big crowds and I’m excited about close environments where you can be close to your fans.”As a child growing up in nearby Blackburn，she says that her school library was a “second home ”to her. When she was young she loved Peter Rabbit and Mr.Men books，and later her favorites included Little Women and The Lovely Bones.Attracted by the stage，the young who would once never have been to a library have been returning to borrow books and CDs. The project’s founder，Stewart Parsons，has worked in libraries for 25 years. He feels that the concerts have made libraries something that the young want to be part of. A mother，Lauren Zawadzki，sent him a text message after a concert：“Your work is great！！！Both Izaak and Dom have been reading in the library for the last half hour...You should be proud. They would never have suggested that before the concerts.”Parsons hopes that the activity is changing the way people view libraries. “My big worry is that libraries trail(拖拉)behind slightly；they shouldn’t. This is about bringing libraries up to date. The beautiful thing is that people are reconnecting with the library in a wa y they haven’t done before.”5．The Get It Loud in Libraries project aims to ________.A．collect money for libraries to buy booksB．develop youth talent for singingC．provide a performing place for music loversD．attract more people to read in libraries6．According to the passage，Vickers’s attitude towards Libraries project is that of ________. A．unconcern B．praiseC．doubt D．worry7．What can we know about Diana Vickers from the passage?A．She liked reading in her childhood.B．She doesn’t like being cl ose to her fans.C．She once worked at a library.D．She plains about the noisy environment.8．According to the passage，Zawadzki ________.A．advised libraries to keep quietB．praised Parsons for helping her readingC．praised the Get It Loud in Libraries projectD．found her children’s talent for singingCMany people tend to plain about not having good friends in their lives. Sadly，they seem to think that their own pany is not enough to make them happy. Nothing could be further from the truth though. In order to get along with others，the first thing you need to do is learn to get along with yourself. Only in this way will you succeed in developing healthy，solid relationships with others.Listen to your inner voice. Remember that inner voice that keeps whispering to you what you really want and need as well as what you do not really want and need. It is about time you started listening to it. In order to get to know yourself in depth，it is important to learn and accept what you want and what you do not want.Learn to enjoy your own pany.

Pay special attention to your personal hygiene(卫生). Do your hair and nails often and experiment with new styles. Follow a healthy diet and exercise regularly to stay in good shape. No matter how busy your daily schedule is，always find at least an hour per day for yourself，when you can either relax doing absolutely nothing，or doing something that you enjoy.Learn to respect your own boundaries. Find out what your boundaries are and learn to respect them. You are the only one who knows what you can and what you cannot accept；no one else can point that out to you，or force you to promise(妥协).9. What is the purpose of listening to your inner voice？A．To keep a good state of mind.B．To enjoy the time by yourself.C．To know more about yourself.D．To form a relationship with others.10.

The underlined word “boundaries” nearly means “”.A．limits B．aims C．ambitions D．weaknesses12. What is the structure of the passage？DThe UN EnvironmentProgrammesays that rising temperatures could mean the end for some migrating animals.Migrating or mobile animals move through several environments as they travel away from the cold of winter to warmer areas. Birds may fly from one part of the world to another, perhaps stopping at feeding grounds on the way. Whales and turtles (海龟) cover vast areas of ocean. The report says that changes in any one of the places which these animals use can cause serious harm. "Obviously these animals have developed their travelling patterns over thousands of years. But climate change is almost certain to be extreme over the next 25 to 50 years and it is extremely unlikely that these animals can change their habits fast enough," said the report author Dr Robert Hepworth.Hardest hit by rising temperatures are turtles. Scientists have found that at higher temperatures, turtles produce far more female eggs than male ones. In parts of Malaysia, turtle birthing sites are producing only females, the report says. It also provides evidence that some turtles are more likely to develop cancer as the waters get warmer.With birds, the main problem is climate-related damage to important areas at either end of the travels or at resting places along the way. About one-fifth of migrating birds are now in danger because of climate-related changes including rising sea levels, land loss and more violent storms, the report concludes.Other animals picked out as particularly in danger include:1. the North Atlantic Right Whale, whose main food (tiny shrimp) is disturbed by the change in ocean flows .2. the White-Nose Dolphin, which is out-peted by other kinds of dolphins in warmer waters.The report is not all bad news. Even with major climatic changes, protecting the environment can still help mobile animals to recover. "We need governments to start taking action at t he national and international lever. “The clock is running.” said Dr Hepworth. And some animals are already adapting, with the report mentioning whales that are changing their feeding behaviour, finding new feeding grounds and new foods to eat.13. What is the main topic of the text?A. How animals are adapting to changes in temperature.B. The effect of climate change on migrating animals.C. The actions required to save migrating animals.D. The need for government policies to prevent global warming.14. By saying "the clock is running" in the last paragraph, Dr Hepworth means that “_______”.A. it may be too late to save some animalsB. there is not much time to solve the problemC. it is time to start protecting the animalsD. it takes time to plete the actions15. According to the report, how will global warming affect turtles in the future?A. They will only produce female babies.B. Their food supply will gradually disappear.C. Some will suffer from higher rates of cancer.D. They will be in greater danger because of more violent storms.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳答案。

第Ⅰ卷阅读题一、现代文阅读（36分）（一）论述类文本阅读（本题共3小题，9分）阅读下面的文字，完成下列小题。
从民间文化的角度看，守住青山绿水，是中国传统自然观、宇宙观的体现。
失去了青山绿水，人们对众生万物的敬畏和想象，对自然山水的能动和悦纳，对生活空间的叙述和表达，就失去了依托。
人类对自然的认识，经历了一个漫长的发展历程。
对万物众生的敬畏和想象，是中国人认识自然的起点。
如在先秦古籍《山海经》(包含神话、地理、物产等内容)中，我们可以感受神州大地幅员之辽阔，见识山川物产之丰饶，更会为里面诡谲华丽的自然世界所震惊。
日本民俗学家伊藤清司曾将《山海经》中的空间划分为内部世界和外部世界，前者指人类的生活空间，与之相对的即外部世界，二者相对独立、互为依存。
在虔诚仰慕并企图利用大自然之余，人类对神秘而又神圣的未知世界充满了敬畏。
循着对善灵瑞兽的正面想象，人类赋予自身走向自然的合法性；对怪力乱神的负面想象，又恰如其分地给予人类种种约束，避免因过度索取而对自然造成严重破坏。
人们对自然的敬畏和想象，不仅在((博物志))《述异记》等历代文献中得以记载，而且在世代民众生活中实践传承。
我们在乡间田野常见的山神庙、龙王庙，正是内部世界与外部世界的象征边界。
敬畏在信仰中流淌，想象在仪式中演绎。
进入内部世界，民众对生活环境的选择更有能动性，对秀美山水的悦纳更具艺术性，同时也更能反映民众的生活关学。

A
There are about 7,500 apple varieties in the world. While 2,500 of those varieties are being grown in the United States, the Gala, Fuji, and Honeycrisp varieties occupy American market. Instead of sticking to the familiar, here are other delicious apples to try this fall. These special fruits will be the apple of your eye.
Cosmic Crisp
A cross between Honeycrisp and Enterprise, the Cosmic Crisp takes the best qualities of both of these apples and combines them into a delicious and juicy apple. It’s perfect eaten plain, but when used in an apple pie, it maintains its firmness, making it a great apple for baking.
Swee Tango
The Swee Tango, as a cross between a Honeycrisp and a Zestar apple, takes on flavors of honey and a bit of orange. Usually in apple recipes, other materials are added to improve the apple flavor, but the Swee Tango stands strong on its own. So it’s the perfect apple for apple -centric dishes such as apple pie, and even baked apples.
Ginger Gold
With a golden -green color, the Ginger Gold apple is pretty mild in flavor with a bit of ginger as mentioned in its name. This variety is fully grown a bit earlier than most other apples with their season
beginning as early as August. So, if you’re eager for fall, then the Ginger Gold is the perfect apple to start baking your favorite fall treats.
RubyFrost
Grown classically as one of American varieties, the RubyFrost allows apple lovers the chance to enjoy
this sweet fruit through the winter months. Not only can the RubyFrost stand a bit of cold weather, they reach their finest flavor during the winter months, making it a great, late season apple. 1．What do Cosmic Crisp and Swee Tango have in common? A ．They are of the same flavor. B ．They have one same parent. C ．They remain firm after baking. D ．They are strongly flavored.
2．How is Ginger Gold named? A ．By its colour and flavor. B ．By its harvest season. C ．By its usage for baking.
D ．By its parents.
3．Which one may be the best choice for New Year celebrations in America? A ．Cosmic Crisp.
B ．RubyFrost.
C ．Ginger Gold.
D ．Swee Tango.

When Faith Wanjiku graduated from the Technical University of Kenya last year, she immediately enrolled (注册) at the Confucius Institute in Kenyatta University. She wanted to learn Chinese, as she believed that it would help her have a good job.
She has just completed the Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (HSK) 3 exam. HSK is a test of Chinese language level for non -native speakers, organized by the Confucius Institute Headquarters.
However, this level isn’t enough for Wanjiku, who plans to pass HSK 6. She wanted to increase her level of Chinese and improve her spoken Chinese. And Wanjiku isn’t alone. The number of people taking the HSK reached 6.8 million in 2018 and went up 4.6 percent from a year earlier, the Ministry of Education said on May 31.
Chinese is becoming an increasingly popular choice of language to study around the world. Currently, middle school students in Russia can take Chinese as an elective language test in the country’s national college entrance exam, Sputnik News reported.
In May, Zambia became the fourth country in Africa -after Kenya, Uganda and South Africa—to introduce Chinese language to its schools.
And many English -speaking countries have shown an interest in allowing their students to learn Chinese. The US government announced the launch of “1 Million Strong” in 2015, a plan that aims to bring the total number of learners of Chinese to l million by 2020.
Behind the growing popularity of Chinese language learning is the international community’s positive attitude toward Chinas future development, as well as the people’s longing to learn about Chinese civilization
