14、er and mother seemed happy as they could be.The tickets lady asked how many tickets the father wanted, he proudly answered, “Please let me buy eight childrens tickets and two adults tickets, so I can take my family to the circus.”The ticket lady told him the price.

15、ere was no longer a smile on the mans face. He quietly asked, “How much did you say?”The ticket lady again told him the price.The man obviously didnt have enough money.

The writer saw the circs that night.(B)Lu Xun is one of the greatest Chinese writers of the 20th century. Besides his famous stories, he also wrote many in
21、fluential articles about the living conditions of Chinese people.Born in 1881 to a wealthy family, Lu Xun had a happy childhood. In 1893, however, his grandfather, a senior government official, was put into prison for taking money. At the same time, his father became seriously ill. From that time on
22、, his family were no longer accepted by their relatives and friends. These early experiences greatly influenced his writing.By the time Lu Xun arrived in Nanjing to study at university in 1899, he already believed that Chinese society had to change and become modern. In 1902 he went to study in Japa
23、n. There, he began writing articles for several Chinese student magazines. He showed a gift for writing and translating and he even wrote several books, although none was popular. He returned to China in 1909 because he was in need of money.After working for several years as a teacher in Beijing, Lu
24、 Xun again returned to writing. In 1918, he wrote his famous short story Diary of a Madman. It was the first Chinese novel published using the everyday language that people spoke, which helped make it a great success. This, together with his novel The True Story of Ah Q (1921), made Lu Xun a leading
25、 Chinese writer.Although successful, Lu Xun still worried greatly about Chinas future. In 1926, he moved to Shanghai and gave up writing stories in order to devote himself to what he called “pen warfare”. He now only wrote articles which called on the people to fight against the government. For this
26、, the government stopped him from publishing any more books. He was forced to write his articles using false names.Since his death in 1936, Lu Xuns importance and influence have grown. Today, many of his writings are included in school textbooks and his works are read by millions around the world.31
27、. Which of the following greatly influenced Lu Xuns writing according to the passage?A. The people he met in Japan.B. The experiences in his early life.C. Working as a teacher in Beijing.D. His fathers being put into prison.32. According to the passage, why was Lu Xuns story Diary of a Madam so popu
28、lar?A. It was based on Lu Xuns diary.B. It was the first novel to use everyday language.C. Its story took place in modern times.D. It was written using a western style.33. The underlined word “This” (Paragraph 4) refers to .A. the success of Diary of a MadmanB. the use of everyday language C. the fi
29、rst Chinese novelD. The True Story of Ah Q34. After moving to Shanghai, Lu Xun mainly wrote .A. funny storiesB. articles about himselfC. articles against the governmentD. stories about government officials35.

30、m publishing books.b. He wrote Diary of a Madman.c. His father became ill.d. He moved to Shanghai.e. His writings were put into textbooks.A. c-a-b-d-e B. c-b-d-a-eC. a-c-d-b-e D. a-d-b-c-e(C)The Vieira family moved to the United States in 1981. At that time, they decided to stop speaking Spanish at
31、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 cannot communicate with them. Unfortunately this is common. When people move t
32、o 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 directly with more people around the world. You do not have
33、 to depend on others to talk for you, so youre more independent. People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate.Furthermore, speaking a second language also allows people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively. Local expressions, vocabulary, and even jo
34、kes can have a powerful effect on a persons understanding of another 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,
35、the world can become closer. Countries will then have more respect for each other and better understand each others problems.The benefits of knowing more than one language are clear. In fact, there are no disadvantages. It is very sad that many people dont try to learn another language. It is even w
36、orse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become silenced.36. What is 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.37. The passage begins wi
37、th the experience of the Vieira family in order to_.A. discuss the need for teaching a new languageB. introduce the passages main characters to the readersC. describe the advantages of moving to another countryD. show the problems of speaking only one language38. The underlined phrase “multi-languag
38、e speakers” (Paragraph 5) means “people who know _.”A. their mother language B. a new languageC. more than one language D. body language39. According to the passage, if you can speak more than one language, you can_.A. find a better jobB. make more friendsC. better understand historyD. communicate m
39、ore independently40. Based on the last paragraph, which of the following is the worst?A. Not knowing another language.B. Forgetting ones mother language.C. Refusing to learn another language.D.
