beast. It had such a big mouth that it could swallow many people with one bite. All

beast Nian. He turned out to be an immortal(不朽的)god. Before the god left, he told
people to put up red paper decorations on their windows and doors to scare away Nian
at the end of each year. Because red is the colour Nian feared the most.
From then on, the custom of putting up red paper and firing firecrackers to scare
away Nian have remained. However, people today have forgotten why they are doing
this. Most people feel red and the sound of firecrackers add to the excitement of

Mr Guo is a teacher from Xi’an. He asked his students to hand in their homework
through a QR code (二维码). “We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate
(使产生) the codes, and in the end everything gets easier,” said Guo. “When
students finish the homework, they keep it on WeChat. Then, each student makes his
own QR code and gives it to me. So I can check their work everywhere using my computer
or telephone.”
The QR codes can be sent to Mr Guo by email, QQ and WeChat. When Guo scans (扫描)
his students’ QR codes, their homework appears on his phone. He finds that their
homework becomes more creative, with many pictures, music and even videos.
Guo’s students like the new way and think it is interesting. “We are living
in the information age. Many students like to work with computers, which makes
learning more fun.” said Tingting, a student of Guo’s.
“The paper is not easy to keep, but the code is easy to keep and share.” Guo
said. “It is worth trying to use new technology in education. Education itself is
a kind of creation. I don’t want my students to fall behind the times.”
However, some parents are worried. They are afraid that their children will spend
too much time on computers and less time communicating with teachers. But in fact,
it’s unnecessary. Students still need to look up information in books and write
it down when they do their homework. They only use the code when they hand in their
work, which doesn’t take them too much time. Also for teachers, it allows them to
check the students’ work at any time. And it’s also an easy way to share homework
with other students.
79. According to the passage, students can keep their homework on ______.
A. WeChat B. QQ C. email D. blog
80.Guo’s students think the new way is ______.
A. strange B. boring C. interesting D. unnecessary
81. What does “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to (指代)?______
A. The paper is not easy to keep.
B. Keeping and sharing the code easily.
C. Trying to use new technology in education.
D. Education itself is a kind of creation.
82. Some parents are worried, because they think their children will ______.
A. talk with teachers face to face
B. spend too much time on computers or phones
C. not like the new way of handing in homework
D. find the QR codes too difficult to use
D
It was recently reported that Chinese math textbooks have been introduced to the
United Kingdom. Half of all elementary schools in England are encouraged to adopt
traditional Asian methods for teaching math and E41 million was used for new
textbooks and training teachers. As Chinese, we are very proud of our country
Over the past century, Asians have been learning from the Western education system.
However, in a study, Chinese middle school students from Shanghai scored much higher
in math, science, and reading than British students. It was hard for the British
educators to believe the result. But that was a fact. The result pushed British
educators to rethink their educational style: Perhaps relatively strict Chinese
teaching is more effective in the development of students' learning abilities
Besides the UK, the United Arab Emirates, Kenya, Malaysia, and many other
countries have shown great interest in the Chinese style of teaching. Speaking of
education, there is no exact right or wrong. Meeting the actual needs is the key
to successful education. At the same time the UK wishes their future to experience
stricter teaching, China is working hard on reducing(减少)the pressure from exam-
oriented education(应试教育).
83. Which foreign country first began to use Chinese education style?_____
A. The UK. B. Malaysia. C. Kenya D. The USA
84. How many foreign countries are mentioned in the passage?______
A.3 B.4 C.5 D.6
85. What's the underlined word's meaning in Chinese?_____
A.拒绝 B.改变 C.采纳 D.检验
86. Why did the UK introduce Chinese education style?______
A. Because their teachers have no teaching experience
B. Because they want to study Chinese
C. Because the UK can buy Chinese textbooks
D. Because Chinese education style is more useful and effective(有效的)
87. What does the passage mainly talk about?______
A. Why England must learn from China
B. Chinese better and more useful teaching style
C. How many countries are learning from China.
D. The cleverer Chinese students.
