April 20 marks United Nations Chinese Language Day.On this day,people around the world celebrate the Chinese language.Teens has invited two Chinese learners to share stories of their studies.
Practicing Chinese with Chinese friends
I started taking a short beginners' course in Chinese when I was in the UK.Since I' came to China in 2021,I have been using an App on my phone called Hello Chinese.I find reading the small stories on it really helpful.I first read them with pinyin and the Chinese characters and then I'll read them again with just the characters.
Also,going out for dinner with my Chinese friends can be a good way to learn.In my life,I'm a bit more confident(自信的)to practice speaking naturally spoken Chinese.
David House,the UK
Chinese can make language simpler.
When I worked at Tsinghua University,one of my jobs was translating information from Chinese to English.Each day I would find something new and interesting about Chinese.Chinese can be emotive(有感染力的)and often give our information more clearly than English.For example,a Chinese sign at school might read,"特殊时间隔坐,人人有责".But the English sign would read:"During the special time,please sit apart from each other.We are all responsible for doing our part."The English is much longer and not as simple.
Madeleine King,Australia
Why April 20?

Climbing mountains is a good way of relaxing.More and more people would like to spend their free time climbing mountains.However,some environmental problems are caused by a large number of visitors.Do you think mountain visits should be limited(被限制)?
Some people think it is necessary to limit mountain visits.When too many people walk up mountains,they will damage(破坏) wild flowers and grass.Many people throw rubbish along the way.It will pollute the environment seriously.When they get to the top of the mountain and enjoy the great view,they usually have to do so with a crowd of other people.The huge rise in the number of visitors means there is not enough space for everyone.And more people will increase the danger of accidents,especially in bad weather.
Others think mountain visit s shouldn't be limited.Mountains belong to everyone,so no one has the right(权利) to stop them from climbing mountains whenever they want.Being in nature is also good for people's health.If mountain visits are limited,it means that people will miss a way of improving their health.
In a word,whether mountain visits are limited or not,we must try our best to protect mountains while going climbing.
More and more people enjoy climbing mountains.But too many mountain visits can(1) some environmental problems.Should mountain visits be limited?
Some people think mountain visits should be limited.Too many climbers will damage wild flowers and grass,and pollute the environment.A large number of climbers make the mountain top(2) .When they enjoy the great view together,they may be in a(3) situation.
Others don't think so.They think everyone has the right to climb mountains.If mountain visits are limited,people will lose their chances(机会)to (4) their health.

19.(12分)请阅读下面的非连续性文本,根据语篇内容,回答问题,并将答案写在答题卡相应的位置上。
With the development of the technology,people's life has changed greatly.In the past,connecting(联络) with friends meant spending time with them in person. Today,most young people like to connect with their friends online better.They think it is a good way to keep in touch with(与…………保持联系) their friends.However,experts worry that many young people are so busy connecting with friends online that they may lose their real﹣world friendships(友谊).
Technology hurts friendships.When we communicate with our friends in front of a screen,it's easier to misread their tones(语调) or body languages.We might think friends are smiling while they're actually upset.A friend might send a text message as a joke that says,"You're the worst friend!"But our feelings might be hurt because we think he's serious.
—Andy
Technology doesn't hurt friendships.In fact,it can make them stronger.My best friends live in California where I used to live.The last time I met them in person was three years ago.But I talk to them online every week.It feels like they're right there with me.Without technology,there wouldn't be close friends anymore.
—Anna
According to experts,staying connected online is not enough to build true friendships.Spending time together face﹣to﹣face is also quite important,especially when people are in trouble.During the hard times,people don't need someone who likes their pictures or posts.What they really need is someone who can offer them help.
(1)Please translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.
(2)According to Andy,what problem might people meet when communicating with their friends online?
(3)Where did Anna use to live?
(4)How long didn't Anna meet her friends in California in person?
(5)Please finish the chart above.
(6)Do you think technology is hurting your friendships?Why?

【分析】这篇短文主要讨论了登山活动的益处以及由于大量游客导致的环境问题。一些人认为应该限制登山活动,因为过多的人会破坏野花和草地,乱扔垃圾,还会增加事故的危险。另一些人认为不应该限制登山活动,因为山属于大家,每个人都有权利随时登山,而且接触大自然对健康有益。总之,无论是否限制登山活动,我们都应该尽力保护山脉。

(4)根据第三段If mountain visits are limited,it means that people will miss a way of improving their health.(如果登山活动受到限制,这意味着人们将失去一种改善健康的方式。)可知,限制登山活动人们就会失去改善健康的机会。此处to表示目的,后面接动词原形。故填improve。
(5)根据最后一段In a word,whether mountain visits are limited or not,we must try our best to protect mountains while going climbing.(总之,无论登山是否受到限制,我们都必须在登山时尽最大努力保护山脉。)可知,登山时,我们应该做我们所能做的一切去保护山脉。一切,everything。故填everything。

Technology doesn't hurt friendships.In fact,it can make them stronger.My best friends live in California where I used to live.The last time I met them in person was three years ago.But I talk to them online every week.It feels like they're right there with me.Without technology,there wouldn't be close friends anymore.
—Anna
According to experts,staying connected online is not enough to build true friendships.Spending time together face﹣to﹣face is also quite important,especially when people are in trouble.During the hard times,people don't need someone who likes their pictures or posts.What they really need is someone who can offer them help.

(5)Please finish the chart above. Spending time together face﹣to﹣face.

(6)主观题(言之有理即可)。根据But I talk to them online every week.It feels like they're right there with me.Without technology,there wouldn't be close friends anymore(每周我们都在线上聊天,就好像朋友一直和我在一起。没有科技,就没有这么亲密的朋友。)可知,科技让友谊更牢固。故答案可以为:No,I don't think so;Because technology can make us be closer and help each other at any time。
【点评】这是个综合型阅读题,题目中有英汉互译题、也有问答题,主要考查学生的阅读理解能力及知识运用能力。答题时细节理解题可直接根据文中细节得出答案;英汉互译题需要根据句意及汉英语言各自的语法习惯来翻译。
