21、Song Lam, or Waiata to some of her New Zealand Maori friends, argues that Mandarin and Maori have much in common, particularly the five vowels(元音) which sound the same in both languages. And the mythological(神话) figure Maui of Maori legend has a Chinese “twin brother”, the Monkey King. Both could turn themselves into any shape or figure at any time.

Some academics claim that one of the native tribes in Taiwan, China speaks a language similar to Maori, notably in the naming of numbers. Evidence gleaned by archaeologists(考古学家) shows an ancient link between the peoples of Australasia and Taiwan, with the native language of Taiwan having similarities to the prehistoric Australasian language.

Confused by Maori place names and customs when she first moved to New Zealand, Song Lam spent eight years researching and three years writing her book, The Maori of New Zealand, which is believed to be the first Chinese-language publication to include Maori words, values and customs. The 120-page book, including 10 pages of photos and maps, descbribes Maori legends, traditions, history and folk tales.

Song Lam was inspired to write the book in 1990 when she tried to sign up for an education course in New Zealand and was asked for her comments on a local historical event, which she knew nothing about. She involved her two sons in her project and research after explaining to them the stories behind Maori place names. The younger boy, aged 10, used his skill at drawing to contribute an historic map of Maori tribes in New Zealand.

“Both Chinese and Maori like to present a gift when visiting others or receiving warm reception,” Lam says. “My book will be a good gift when I visit a Maori community.”

【1】According to Song Lam, what do Mandarin and Maori have in common?

A．Fairy tales of the same character.

B．Confusing place names and customs.

C．Similar pronunciation of vowels.

D．The magic power of the Monkey King.

【2】What does the underlined word “gleaned” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Controlled.

B．Gathered.

C．Grown.

D．Switched.

【3】Why is Song Lam’s younger son mentioned in Paragraph 4?

A．To tell his curiosity about Maori.

B．To prove his unique talent in painting.

C．To stress the importance of education.

D．To show his help with the publication.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Cultures Share Language Bond

B．The First Book about Maori

C．Adaptation to Life in New Zealand

D．Languages Bridge Misunderstanding

22、   Every two or three months, Thyago Ohana goes out on the busy streets of Vienna with a sign saying "Free Hugs". The handsome 32-year-old Brazilian, who works in international trade at India's Vienna embassy, chooses a popular site, like the historic shopping street, Kaerntner Strasse. There he opens his arms to anyone who wants a hearty embrace(拥抱).

He does it because back in 2012, when he was feeling very stressed and anxious during a visit to Paris, a stranger gave him a free hug. He's never forgotten how it filled him with unexpected calm and joy.

For those who take up his offer, the hug makes them laugh and smile. But sometimes it does more, as when an elderly woman in a tour group stopped and watched him. The group moved on, but she remained and asked, "Can I have a hug?" "Of course you can!" said Thyago who wrapped his arms round her. When they broke their embrace, she kept holding onto his shoulders and looked into his eyes. "Thank you," she said. "I can't remember the last time I was hugged this way."

It's a memory that still makes Thyago emotional. "It was a really powerful moment of human connection. It's why 1 keep doing it."

Of our five senses, our sense of touch is the one that is most easily taken for granted. "A child can be born blind or deaf and they will grow up just fine," says David J Linden, author of Touch: The Science of Hand, Heart, and Mind. "Yet if a baby is lacking in loving social touch for the first two years of life, then all sorts of disasters unfold." That's one reason why when babies are born, they are now usually placed on their mother's skin.

Linden says however you do it, "maximizing touch in your life is a good thing"- whether holding hands, petting a dog, going to the hairdresser, hugging our kids, our partners or even a

stranger.

【1】Why did Thyago Ohana offer free hugs to strangers?

A.He longed for calm and joy.

B.He felt stressed and upset.

C.He wanted others to feel connected and cared.

D.He hoped to help others cure their diseases.

【2】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 suggest?

A.Our sense of touch isn't so important.

B.Our sense of touch is undervalued.

C.Our sense of touch does no good to us.

D.Our sense of touch is thought highly of.

【3】What does David J Linden think of social touch?

A.The way of offering social touch counts.

B.Offering hugs is the best way to get social touch.

C.Blind kids will be cured as long as they get enough social touch.

D.Many problems can be tracked back to babyhood short of social touch.

【4】Where is this text most likely from?

A.A health magazine. B.A research paper.

C.A guide book. D.A biology textbook.

23、   Growing up in Taiwan as the daughter of a calligrapher（书法家），one of my most treasured memories was my mother showing me the beauty, the shape and the form of Chinese characters. Ever since then, I was attracted by this amazing language.

But to an outsider, it seems to be as impenetrableas the Great Wall of China. Over the past few years, I've been wondering whether I can break down this wall, so that anyone who wants to understand and appreciate the beauty of this complex language could do so. I started thinking about how a new, fast method of learning Chinese might be useful.

At the age of five, 1 started to learn how to draw every single stroke（笔划）for each character in the correct order. I learned new characters every day during the next fifteen years. You only need 1 ,000 to understand the basic communication. The top 200 will allow you to read 40 percent of basic literature-enough  to read road signs, restaurant menus, to understand the basic idea of the web pages or the newspapers. Today I'm going to start with 8 characters to show you how the method works.

Open your mouth as wide as possible until it's square. You get a mouth---口. This is a person going for a walk with two legs. Person---人.The shape of the fire is a person with two arms on both sides, as if she was yelling crazily, u Help! I'm on fire!" ---火. This is a tree---木.This is a mountain--山.The sun---日. The moon---月.The symbol of the door looks like a pair of car doors---门.These eight characters are the building blocks for you to create lots more characters.

【1】What does the underlined word " impenetrable " in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Available to learn about.

B．Worthwhile to access.

C．Difficult to get across.

D．Important to understand.

【2】Why did the author try to think of fast ways to learn Chinese?

A．To prove her ability to learn.

B．To help her mother with her career.

C．To get better grades in exams.

D．To enable more people to enjoy Chinese.

【3】With the most frequently used 200 characters people can       .

A．read restaurant menus

B．understand newspapers well

C．communicate with natives

D．enjoy basic literature

【4】What will the author probably talk about next?

A．How the eight characters build other characters.

B．What other meanings the eight characters have.

C．Where the eight characters can be used in daily life.

D．Why the eight Chinese characters are formed in this way.

24、   As an international body charged with the mission of keeping world peace and development, the United Nations cannot operate without financial support from its member countries. And as a firm defender of multilateralism (多边主义) and a beneficiary of globalization, China knows how important it is to safeguard the current world order in which the UN plays an important role. China is aware how important it is that it does its bit to ensure the UN can accomplish its missions, and knows that this is a responsibility it must undertake for the benefit of all.

And Chinese people can take pride in the fact that the country has overtaken Japan to be the second-largest contributor to the UN regular budget. Since how much a country pays to the regular budget of the United Nations is a standard on how powerful the country is, at least financially. It is therefore natural that China’s contribution to the UN budget should rise from 2.05 percent in 2005 to 12.01 percent this year. That hike is an indicator of what the country has achieved over the past 13 years. With the country’s further development, there is no doubt that its financial contribution to the UN will continue to rise. China will pay as it should.

However, the more money a country pays, the more responsibility it shoulders and more say it is entitled to enjoy as a major player on the world stage. But the reality is that the rights and international standing China enjoys are still disproportional (不相称的) to what it does for the UN and its contribution to the development of the world economy. As a responsible member of the international community, China is struggling for reform of the UN and the global governance system so they are more effective and representative of the international community as a whole.

Although peace and development remain the themes of the times, uncertainty and instability are on the rise. With this in mind, all countries should make combined efforts to deepen understanding, increase trust and promote cooperation. China is committed to building a community with a shared future for humanity and will continue to work with the UN to realize that vision.

【1】What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A. China is against multilateralism and globalization.

B. The UN needs financial help from its member countries.

C. China doesn’t agree with the UN on keeping the current world order.

D. The UN must undertake the responsibility to ensure China’s benefit.

【2】What does the underlined word “hike” in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Walk. B. Rise.

C. Budget. D. Contribution.

【3】What can we infer from paragraph 3?

A. If a country pays more money, it can take on less responsibility.

B. China’s contribution to world economy equals the rights it enjoys.

C. China is making great efforts to improve the situation of the UN.

D. The global governance system is very satisfying now.

【4】What is the main idea of the text?

A. China is keeping world peace and development instead of the UN.

B. China contributes most to the UN regular budget.

C. China enjoys more say as a great power on the world stage.

D. China is working with the UN in search for common good.
