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 land 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 China’s future development, as well as the people’s longing to learn about
Chinese civilization and culture.
Indeed, it’s as the former president of South Africa Nelson Mandela put it, “if you talk to a
man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language,
that goes to his heart.”34．What did Wanjiku do after graduating from university?
A．She went abroad. B．She travelled to China.
C．She found a job. D．She learned Chinese.
35．HSK is a test for ______.
A．native speakers B．non-native speakers
C．middle school students D．college students
36．What does the underlined sentence mean?
A．Wangjiku has lots of friends.
B．Many people want to live in China.
C．Wangjiku has passed HSK3 exam.
D．Lots of people want to pass HSK6 exam.
37．What may be the best title for the text?
A．People Share the Experience of Learning Chinese
B．Chinese Play an Important Role in Economy
C．Chinese Language Study Takes Off
D．Different Opinions about the Function of Chinese
C
Scientists blame greenhouse gases for being a major cause of climate change around the
world. This is because greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere and make the planet warmer.
Now, a team of researchers has announced a successful experiment that turned carbon
dioxide into useful liquid fuel. The researchers created a device, called a reactor, which changes
carbon dioxide into a pure form of formic acid(甲酸). Formic acid is a substance (物质) found in
ants and some other insects, as well as in many plants. It is used as an antibacterial material and in
the processing of some kinds of clothing.
Haotian Wang led the research team. He said in a statement that the results of the experiment
were important because formic acid is a major carrier of energy. So, the substance can provide a
way to reuse carbon dioxide and prevent it from being released into the atmosphere. “It’s a
fuel-cell fuel that can generate electricity and send out carbon dioxide which you can grab and
recycle again,” Wang said.“Other methods for turning carbon dioxide into formic acid require intense purification
processes,” Wang said. Such methods are very costly and require a lot of energy. The Rice
University team said it was able to reduce the number of steps in the traditional process to create a
low-cost, energy-saving method.
The researchers reported the reactor device performed with a conversion rate (转化率) of 42
percent. This means that nearly half of the electrical energy can be stored in formic acid as liquid
fuel. The team said the reactor was able to create formic acid continuously for 100 hours with little
degradation (退化) of the device’s parts.
Wang said the reactor could easily be used to produce other high-value products, including
alcohol-based fuels. The researchers noted that the technology could also be a big help in solving
another major energy problem—how to store large amounts of power in small places.
38．What factor is the main cause of climate change?
A．Chemistry waste. B．Greenhouse gases.
C．Formic acid. D．Liquid fuel.
39．What do we know about formic acid?
A．It is a large amount of power. B．It is high- value equipment
C．It can be found in ants. D．It is a substance in clothing.
40．What is Wang’s attitude towards his own research?
A．Optimistic. B．Aggressive.
C．Doubtful. D．Uncaring.
41．In what magazine can you read this text?
A．A travel magazine. B．A science magazine.
C．A music magazine. D．A sports magazine.
D
We talk continuously about how to make children tougher and stronger, but whatever we’re
doing, it’s not working. Rates of anxiety disorders and depression are rising rapidly among
teenagers. What are we doing wrong?
Nassim Taleb invented the word “antifragile” and used it to describe a small but very important
class of systems that gain from shocks, challenges, and disorder. The immune (免疫的) system is one of them: it requires exposure to certain kinds of bacteria and potential allergens (过敏原) in
childhood in order to develop to its full ability.
Children’s social and emotional abilities are as antifragile as their immune systems. If we
overprotect kids and keep them “safe” from unpleasant social situations and negative emotions, we
deprive (剥夺) them of the challenges and opportunities for skill-building they need to grow strong.
Such children are likely to suffer more when exposed later to other unpleasant but ordinary life
events, such as teasing and social rejection.
It’s not the kids’ fault. In the UK, as in the US, parents became much more fearful in the 1980s
and 1990s as cable TV and later the Internet exposed everyone, more and more, to those rare
occurrences of crimes and accidents that now occur less and less. Outdoor play and independent
mobility went down; screen time and adult-monitored activities went up.
Yet free play in which kids work out their own rules of engagement, take small risks, and learn
to master small dangers turns out to be vital for the development of adult social and even physical
competence. Depriving them of free play prevents their social-emotional growth. Norwegian play
researchers Ellen Sandseter and Leif Kennair warned: “We may observe an increased anxiety or
mental disorders in society if children are forbidden from participating in age-adequate risky play.”
They wrote those words in 2011. Over the following few years, their prediction came true.
Kids born after 1994 are suffering from much higher rates of anxiety disorders and depression than
did the previous generation. Besides, there is also a rise in the rate at which teenage girls are
admitted to hospital for deliberately harming themselves.
What can we do to change these trends? How can we raise kids strong enough to handle the
ordinary and extraordinary challenges of life? We can’t guarantee that giving primary school
children more independence today will bring down the rate of teenage suicide tomorrow. The links
between childhood overprotection and teenage mental illness are suggestive but not clear-cut. Yet
there are good reasons to suspect that by depriving our naturally antifragile kids of the wide range of
experiences they need to become strong, we are systematically preventing their growth. We should
let go—and let them grow.
42. Why does the author mention the immune system in Paragraph 2?
A. To stress its importance. B. To analyze the cause of anxiety.
C. To question the latest discovery. D. To help understand a new word.43. Parents overprotect children because ______.
A. children are not independent enough
B. they are concerned about their children’s safety
C. parent-monitored activities are a must
D. they want to keep children from being teased
44. According to the author, free play can ______.
A. promote children’s toughness B. strengthen children’s friendship
C. reduce children’s risky behavior D. develop children’s leadership skills
45. Which of the following does the author probably agree with?
A. Stop trying to perfect your child.
B. It takes great courage to raise children.
C. Prepare the child for the road, not the road for the child.
D. While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about.

China is expected to make more 71 （ contribute ） to global containment （ 控 制 ） of
COVID-19 by developing vaccines （ 疫 苗 ） through international cooperation, leading
international public health experts said. Having 72 （ effective ） brought the disease under
control, China can work to help 73 （strong） global health systems and improve global
preparedness for the next public health crisis, Seth Berkley, CEO of the Global Alliance for
Vaccines and Immunizations, said at a seminar last week. “China has done a remarkable job on
COVID-19 control. It’s really extraordinary to see a country 74 （ hit ） by a severe disease
respond so quickly,” he said. “China tried to slow this disease down, not just for China 75 for
the world.” But with reduced COVID-19 cases in China 76 a result of its containment,
domestic vaccine developers may need international cooperation so further clinical trials can be
conducted in other countries. Some Chinese companies have shown interest in international
cooperation, 77 can help to develop vaccines for the disease.
Berkley said some organizations wanted to work with China in the development of vaccines
to contribute to containment of the disease globally. They wanted to work on bringing Chinese
science and vaccine manufacturers to the world, 78 (try) to make sure that the
quality is there and 79 China can work through the thicket of international regulations.
China has world-class vaccine research and development teams, and vaccine manufacturing in
China 80 (make) great progress over the past decades. They will continue to support China
in the research, development and manufacturing of vaccines.

6、书面表达
Good morning, everyone,
I am Li Hua from Xingguang Middle School. The topic of my speech is “Let’s ride bicycles”.
As is known to all, with the improvement of people’s living standards, cars have become a
popular means of transport, bringing great convenience to our life. However, they have also
caused some problems such as air pollution and traffic jams.
How can we solve the problems then? As far as I’m concerned, riding bicycles is a good
solution. For one thing, bicycles don’t need any petrol and they are energy-saving. For another
thing, bicycles are environmentally friendly because they won’t give off waste gas. What’s more,
riding bicycles is a good way for us to exercise and it is beneficial to our health.
Therefore, let’s take the responsibility to build up a low-carbon city by riding bicycles. Come
on and join us!
Thank you!
