For example, the Confucius Institute at the University of Texas at Dallas has been the home of a Confucius Institute for 10 years.It sponsors Confucius Classrooms at 21 local public and private schools, where tens of thousands of students are learning Mandarin.【語(yǔ)篇解讀】該文是一篇說(shuō)明文，主要是介紹普通話在美國(guó)學(xué)生中日益流行。1Why did Thomas Cheatham decide to study Mandarin instead of Latin?AMandarin was easier to learn than Latin.BMandarin could be helpful to his future career.CMandarin might help him learn more about China.DMandarin could enable him to study computer engineering.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第二句“while it's a difficult language to master，the high school junior，who plans to study computer engineering，thinks it will be important for his career”可知，Thomas Cheatham認(rèn)為學(xué)好普通話對(duì)他的未來(lái)職業(yè)有幫助，所以才決定學(xué)習(xí)普通話。2The underlined word “edge” in Paragraph 4 probably means“_”Aa slight advantageBthe outside limitCa sharp tone of voiceDan exciting qualityA詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境尤其是第三段最后一句中的“Chinese is a good language to know，especially with China becoming a growing power”和第四段第一句中的“a language spoken by a billion people”可知，隨著中國(guó)的發(fā)展，學(xué)好普通話大有裨益，由此可推知，學(xué)好普通話讓美國(guó)學(xué)生在全球經(jīng)濟(jì)中有一定的優(yōu)勢(shì)，這與文章第五段的內(nèi)容呼應(yīng)。故畫線詞意為“優(yōu)勢(shì)”，與A項(xiàng)含義相近。3Which of the following statements might Marty Abbott agree with?AMandarin should be taught in classrooms throughout the US.BThose skilled at Chinese will be the most competitive in the future.CThe US government's policy has helped popularize Mandarin in the US.DAmericans learn Mandarin because they worry about their economic security.C推理判斷題。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境尤其是對(duì)第六段的整體理解可推知，在Marty Abbott看來(lái)，美國(guó)政府的政策有助于普通話在美國(guó)的推廣。4What does the author mainly talk about in this passage?AThe rising popularity of Mandarin among American students.BThe great benefits of learning Mandarin for American students.CThe influence of China's growing power on American education.DThe effect of Confucius Institutes in promoting Mandarin in the US.A主旨大意題。根據(jù)對(duì)全文的整體理解可推知，本文主要講述的是普通話在美國(guó)學(xué)生之間日益流行的現(xiàn)象，這與最后一段的進(jìn)一步論述呼應(yīng)。故選A。.閱讀七選五(2019·濟(jì)南市模擬)About one hundred years ago many educated people learned and spoke French when they met people from other countries.Today most people speak English when they meet foreigners._1_ There are more people who speak English as a second language than people who speak English as a first language.Why is this?_2_ One of them is that English has become the language of business.Another important reason is that popular American culture(like movies and music) has quickly spread throughout the world._3_Is it good that English has spread to all parts of the world so quickly? _4_ It's important to have a language that the people of the earth have in common.Our world has become

is this？”，并結(jié)合本段中的“One of them is”和“Another important reason is”可推知，此空表述英語(yǔ)流行有諸多原因，故選G項(xiàng)。3C承接上文美國(guó)文化在全球的流行可知，它的語(yǔ)言也隨之而來(lái)，故選C項(xiàng)。4D承接上文的疑問(wèn)句，并結(jié)合下文的肯定陳述“It's important to have a language that the people of the earth have in common”可知，此處表示英語(yǔ)在全世界的傳播是一件好事，故選D項(xiàng)。5B結(jié)合下文“Maybe the popularity of English won't last that long either”可知，B項(xiàng)“但是它并沒(méi)有流行起來(lái)”符合語(yǔ)境，銜接上下文。.語(yǔ)法填空(2019·貴陽(yáng)市適應(yīng)性考試一)China's space program has become the first to land a spacecraft on the 1._(so­call) dark side of the
