(A)
Once when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus. Finally, there was only one family between the ticket office and us. This family made a big impression on me.
There were eight children, all probably under the age of 12. You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money. Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children talked excitedly about the clowns. It was clearly a very important day out for them. The father 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 children’s tickets and two adults’ tickets, so I can take my family to the circus.”
The ticket lady told him the price.
The man’s wife lowered her head. There was no longer a smile on the man’s face. He quietly asked, “How much did you say?” The ticket lady again told him the price.
The man obviously didn’t have enough money. But how could he tell his kids the bad news?
Seeing what was happening, my dad took a $20 note from his pocket and dropped in on the ground. (We were not rich ourselves at all!) He then tapped the man on the shoulder and said, “Excuse me, sir, you dropped this.”
The man understood my father was helping him. He picked up the money, looked straight into my dad’s eyes, and in tears replied. “Thank you. This really means a lot to me and my family.”

th
Lu Xun is one of the greatest Chinese writers of the 20 century. Besides his famous stories, he also wrote many influential 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, 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 Japan. 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 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 Chinese writer.
Although successful, Lu Xun still worried greatly about China’s 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, 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 Xun’s 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. Which of the following greatly influenced Lu Xun’s 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 father’s being put into prison.
32. According to the passage, why was Lu Xun’s story Diary of a Madam so popular? A. It was based on Lu Xun’s 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 Madman B. the use of everyday language C. the first Chinese novel D. The True Story of Ah Q
34. After moving to Shanghai, Lu Xun mainly wrote . A. funny stories
B. articles about himself
C. articles against the government D. stories about government officials
35. In what order did these events take place in Lu Xun’s life? a. The government stopped him from 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-e C. 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 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 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 directly with more people around the world. You do not have to depend on others to talk for you, so you’re 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 jokes can have a powerful effect on a person’s 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, 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 is even worse 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 with the experience of the Vieira family in order to_______. A. discuss the need for teaching a new language
B. introduce the passage’s main characters to the readers C. describe the advantages of moving to another country D. show the problems of speaking only one language
38. The underlined phrase “multi-language speakers” (Paragraph 5) means “people who know ______.”
A. their mother language B. a new language C. more than one language D. body language
39. According to the passage, if you can speak more than one language, you can____. A. find a better job B. make more friends
C. better understand history
D. communicate more independently
40. Based on the last paragraph, which of the following is the worst? A. Not knowing another language.
B. Forgetting one’s mother language. C. Refusing to learn another language. D. Failing to communicate with others.
