（每题2分，共40分）ASix Chinese CharactersDear students, our country has a long history. Chinese characters usually have more than one meaning and some of them are particularly loved by Chinese people. Here are the top six lucky ones. Please note we use "pinyin" here because "pinyin" is the Chinese spelling system for the characters. For example, "fu" is the "pinyin" for good luck in Chinese. "pinyin" "fu" is only the phonic (语音的) part of the character and if you want to know the meaning of good luck "fu", you must read the Chinese character福because "fu" also represents (代表) other Chinese characters that sound the same.1.福"fu" means blessing, good fortune, good luck. Chinese character福"fu" is one of the most popular ones used during Chinese New Year. It is often displayed upside down on the front door of a house or an apartment. The upside down福"fu" means good luck comes since the character for upside down in Chinese sounds the same as the character for "come".2.禄"lu" means prosperity.It is used to mean official's salary(薪水) in feudal (封建的) China.3. 寿"shou" means longevity.Chinese character寿"shou" also means life, age or birthday.4.喜"xi" is happiness.The doubled character喜"xi" means double happiness. It is usually displayed everywhere at Chinese weddings.5.财"cai" is wealth or money.Chinese often say "money can make a ghost turn a millstone". It is to say money really can do a lot of things.

The land was wet and forested, and made a home for birds, other animals and many different plants.It made the perfect place for him to study and get to know the nature. He had seen some red-tail hawks, red foxes, wood turtles and other animals. He also found special native flowers.Suddenly it was announced that th e “empty” land would be improved by a lot of houses on it. The plants would be removed, the animals would run away and most would probably die. Then the wet soil would be covered with extra grounds.When he heard about the news, he was not happy. He was very worried that the land ans water would be polluted.Andrew wrote down clearly all the research he had down about the area, and how the houses would affect the local environment. He sent letters to members of local government and television reporters. He also called on his neighbors to oppose the building of the houses.Although he was only 12 years old, he had the courage and wisdom of a person much older. Andrew’ s teachers described him as gentle, shy and active. His classmates also admired how much he knew about local animals and plants, and the environment. Each day after school, Andrew went door-to-door, to ask the people to sign, who did not want the houses to be built. In only one month, he got the signatures of 250 people.In the end, the land remained a safe place for birds, animals and plants that belonged there.Andrew won many prizes for his brave and great work to stop the houses being built, and thus help save the environment.41.The passage is mainly about_______.A.250 people who signed to help Andrew.B.a brave boy who cared for the environment.C.the open land that suited animals and plantsD.the research of improving the environment.42.The underlined word “oppose” in the passage probably means_______.A. supportB. dislikeC. disagreeD. prefer43.Andrew was very worried because________.A.the animals would be killedB.new houses would be built on the open landC.not all the neighbors were going to signD.was praised by his teachers and classmates44.According to the passage, Andrew__________.A.was good at going door-to doorB.got in no touch with the reportersually acted like a person much olderD.was praised by his teachers and classmates45.We can infer that_______.A.the land would remain as it used to beB.the open land would be built into a parkC.the neighbors would have to move awayD.Andrew would soon work for the governmentCThe Vieira family moved to the United States in 1981.At that time, they decided to stop speaking Spanish at home and only communicate in English. This was because they were now living in an English-speaking country.Now the Vieira children are adults, and they sometimes travel to Spain to visit their family and friends. But they can't communicate with them. Unfortunately this is common. When people move to new countries, they often leave their own customs and mother language behind. This is a mistake because there are many benefits to knowing more than one language.One advantage of speaking more than one language is that you can communicate with more people around the world. You don't have to depend on others to talk for you, so you are more independent. People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate.Furthermore, speaking the second language also allows people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively .Local expressions, vocabulary, and even jokes can have a powerful effect on a person's understanding of other culture. So knowing more than one language increases your knowledge of other cultures.Finally, having more multi-language speakers improves relationships between countries. If people from different countries can communicate well, the world can become closer. Countries will then have more respect for each other and better understand each other's problems.The benefits of knowing more than one language are clear. In fact, there are no disadvantages. It is very sad that many people don't try to learn another language. It's even worse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become silenced.46.What's the passage mainly about?A.The benefits of learning other languages.B.The reasons why people come to America.C.The importance of learning English.D.How to learn another language.47.The passage begins with the experience of Vieira family in order to ________.A.discuss the need of teaching a new languageB.introduce the passage's main characters to the readersC.describe the advantages of moving to another countryD.show the problem of speaking only one language48.The underlined ph rase “multi­language speakers” (paragraph 5) means “people who know ________.”A.their mother languageB.a new languageC.more than one languageD.baby language49According to the passage, if you can speak more than one language, you can________A.find a better jobB.make more friendsC.better understand historymunicate more independently50.Based on the last paragraph, which of the following is the worst?A.Not knowing another language.B.Forgetting one's language.C.Refusing to learn another language.D.Failing to communicate with others.CTom Hanks was born on July 9, 1956.
