A, B and C C US former First Lady Michelle Obama, along with her mother and two daughters, made their first trip to China from March 20-26. They went to Beijing, Xi’an and Chengdu.‎ ‎“It’s not enough to get good grades in school,” she said in the speech. “It is better to travel 10,000 miles than to read 10,000 books. The experiences in other countries help make our life successful. By learning each other’s languages and by showing such curiosity (好奇) and respect (尊重) for each other’s cultures, you are building ‎ bridges of understanding and bonds of friendship,” she said. The US is the top destination (目的地) for Chinese students. More than 200,000 Chinese students are now studying in the US. In 2009, US President Barack Obama announced (宣布) his goal of sending 100,000 students to China. Since then, more than 68,000 US students have come to China. What’s more, many kids in the US are now studying Chinese. “Learning Chinese is a cool thing in school. It is good for our future,” said Mason Grabowski, 14, a student from Chicago. “It is a hard language, but it is never too early to start learning it.” ‎ ‎28.

President Obama hopes his daughters can build bridges of understanding by studying abroad C. Mason Grabowski thinks it’s too early for her to learn Chinese D. the US is the most popular destination for Chinese students D The secret of lucky numbers DO you have a lucky number? What is it? Many people have a special number that they hope will bring them good luck.‎ In Chinese culture, some numbers are believed to be lucky or unlucky based on the Chinese word that the number sounds similar to.‎ For example, the word for the number 8 sounds similar to the word for “making a fortune(发财)”. So, people consider it a very lucky number. Some people will even spend a lot of money to have 8s in their phone numbers or vehicle license plate (车牌照) numbers. The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics began at 8:08 p.m. on August 8, 2008.‎ The number 9 is also a lucky number because of its connection to the emperors of China. There were nine dragons on emperors’ robes (龙袍) and Chinese myth held that the dragon has nine children. The number 9 also stands for “long lasting”. That’s why a man always proposes to （向……求婚）a woman with 99 or 999 roses. So what’s a “bad luck” number in China? It might be 4. Many Chinese people see 4 as a “bad luck” number because it sounds similar to the character for “death”.‎ Because of this, many buildings skip(跨过) the fourth floor, and simply call it the fifth floor. In Hong Kong, some buildings even skip all floors numbered with 4, such as, 4, 14, 24, 34 and all 40-49 floors. Some buildings also skip the 13th floor, as this is considered an unlucky number in many Christian countries. As a result, a building whose highest floor is 50 may have only 35 physical floors. ‎ ‎32.What makes Chinese people believe a number is lucky or unlucky?‎ A. the shape of the number ‎ B. the sound of the number in Chinese C. the history of the numbers ‎ D. the sound of the number in English ‎33.Chinese people regard the number 9 as__________? ‎ A. becoming beautiful B. living a long life C. making a fortune D. living a happy life ‎34.From the passage, we know that____________. ‎ A. None of Chinese people like the number 4. ‎ B. Chinese people like the number 8 because it sounds lucky ‎ C. the number 9 is lucky because it means “wealth”‎ D. the number 8 is a lucky number for foreigners ‎ ‎35.What does this passage mainly talk about?‎ A.Meanings of different unlucky numbers.‎ B.Meaning of different lucky numbers.‎ C.Lucky or unlucky numbers in Western culture.‎ D.Lucky or unlucky numbers in Chinese culture.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎ Do you remember those times when your mother told you to avoid talking to strangers?

One day on her way to school，she went to a bank62  (draw) some money. To 63  surprise，the bank clerk(职员) asked her if she had had her lunch. She was surprised at such 64  question because in the American culture it would mean that the bank clerk is inviting her to lunch. Between unmarried young people it can also mean the young man's interest in dating the girl. Since this bank clerk 65 (be) a stranger to the American woman，she was very puzzled(困惑的)，and quickly answered that she had  66 (eat) already. After this she went on to school and was even67   surprised when one of the teachers asked her the same question.‎ By now she understood that it could not be an68  (invite) but was puzzled as to why they asked it. In the following days she was asked the same question again and again and she spent many hours 69 (try) to work out why so many people kept asking her this. At last she thought that these people must be 70 (concern) about her health.

Here is my advice.‎ First, as you are not a native speaker, you should pay attention to your pronunciation of each single word. You should make sure that you pronounce every word correctly, or you will not be understandable when you say it. Second, you have to imitate how they are speaking. You can read after an audio or a movie dialogue and imitate the tones. Third, I think making some foreign friends is a great way to improve your spoken English.They will correct the way you speak English.‎ Practice makes perfect. So, it’s important to practice every day.‎ I hope my suggestions will help you.‎ Yours,‎ David
