Before arriving in China, I had read lots of books about China. Therefore, when I arrived, I was excited to be living in this huge historically and culturally rich country. It was so greatly different from the UK. The food, the landmarks, the big cities and everyday life—I couldn’t wait to explore.
However, learning Chinese hadn’t even entered my mind, not because I was lazy, but because I had no confidence to learn the most difficult language in the world. Besides this, once I moved to China, I lived in Shanghai. It is an international city, with many people speaking English as a second language. So I thought English would be sufficient.
But after a year in China I found many expats(侨民) spoke Chinese. Perhaps it was achievable after all? I felt uncomfortable because so many Chinese people could speak English while I couldn’t even speak the most basic Chinese. To face the challenge, I decided to begin my language journey and my only regret is that I didn’t start earlier.
In the two years since starting to learn I have made great progress. Now, I am able to talk in Chinese on many topics. Learning to speak Chinese isn’t as difficult as I once expected. When I speak to Chinese people in Chinese, they almost always understand me. The most challenging thing is listening since Chinese people talk at such a speed. I can’t always understand what’s been said, but my weekly online language exchanges help with this. Learning Chinese has taken a lot of hard work. But there is still a long way to go before I reach my goal of fluency(流利). Learning Chinese not only helps me in day-to-day life, but deepens my cultural understanding of such a great country. So, to all my non-Chinese friends I say this, don’t be afraid, face the challenge and be confident.
5．What did the writer do after arriving in China?
A．Read a lot of books about China. B．Couldn’t wait to study Chinese.
C．Tried to learn more about China. D．Missed his life in his home of UK.
6．What does the underlined word “sufficient” probably mean?
A．Enough. B．Important. C．Necessary. D．Possible.
7．Why does the writer think listening is the most challenging?
A．He has a hearing problem.
B．Chinese people speak too fast.
C．Chinese is the most difficult language.
D．He doesn’t know much about many topics.
8．Which is the main idea of the text?
A．A new opinion in learning.
B．Exploring the joy of learning Chinese.
C．The writer’s journey of learning Chinese.
D．The value of learning a new language.

四、用单词的适当形式完成短文
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
The Amazon Rainforest is home to a great variety of plant life; 26 , its soil is 27 (surprising) poor in nutrients. In fact, the soil in the region cannot support agriculture for more than a few years. If we give scientists a report 28 lists the nutrients of that soil, he or she will probably think that only desert 29 (plant) can survive in it! Then why is the soil so poor in nutrients? For one thing, the rainy season has 30 impact on the soil. In the rainy season, the water level can rise to more than 12 metres. 31 the water goes away, it takes away the nutrients in the soil. 32 another thing, due to the Amazon’s hot climate, it is difficult for the soil 33 (build) up enough nutrients. Dead plants and animals 34 (break) down more quickly. The nutrients are soon taken in by the roots of the plants deep beneath the ground. As a result, most of the forest’s nutrients are locked up in the plants themselves, 35 (allow) them to grow at an unbelievable speed.


五、英汉互译
请根据上下文内容，将文中划线部分译成汉语或者英语。
I was a smartphone addict. 36 The smartphone had taken up too much of my time, and I thought it was not easy to quit the habit.
One day, I looked down at my smartphone when crossing the road, and I was nearly knocked off my feet. At the moment. 37 我意识到我必须做出改变. The first day was the hardest. Very soon, 38 时间慢了下来. The empty hours stretched out in front of me, and I felt disconnected from everyone and everything. It was scary at first. Then somehow I began to feel free. Most important of all, 39 I began to appreciate the beauty in life with my own eyes, instead of through my smartphone camera. My offline relationships benefited as well. By the end of the week, I almost did not want to turn my phone back on. I cannot escape from the modern world, but I can cut back on the amount of time I spend on smartphone every day, and I do. 40 Life beyond smartphones is richer and more beautiful, and I am going to make use of it.
