More and more English-educated Chinese Singaporean parents are realizing the importance for their children to be not only good at the all-important English language, but also at Chinese. China has become a great political and economic superpower and they want their children to become bilingual.
It is common knowledge that, to master any language, especially one’s mother tongue, one must begin from childhood. But there are challenges and barriers for children of English-speak ing homes to succeed in their journey towards bilingualism.
Take my family as an example. While my wife and I are products of English education, we had some foundation (基础) in Chinese which we kept up in our working life. But the language of communication in our home is mainly English.
We are glad that our three children had between 8 and 11 years’Chinese schooling before switching over to English schools. Their foundation in Chinese has become an advantage in their adult life. They can hold their own in the spoken language, but would find it hard to write a business letter in Chinese for lack of usage.
We have a grandson who will be two years old shortly. His parents have given my wife and I the unenviable task of making him bilingual. It is a very tough assignment, as we are with him only a couple of hours on most days. For the rest of the time, he is being surrounded by English sounds by his busy parents.
Fortunately, our perseverance is paying off. After eight months, he has been used to hearing Chinese sounds, and even he can now quite comfortably identify common everyday objects in Chinese. Why is it becoming necessary for some Chinese Singaporean children to learn Chinese?
A.Because most of the Singaporeans come from China. |
B.Because their parents are missing their motherland. |
C.Because China has become a great political and economic superpower. |
D.Because Chinese is the official language in the UN. |
The underlined word “bilingual”in Paragraph 1 probably means _______ .
A.a person who knows English |
B.a person who knows Chinese |
C.a person who knows only one language |
D.a person who knows two languages |

A.there are challenges for children of English-speaking homes to learn Chinese |
B.his foundation in Chinese is a big advantage in teaching his grandson |
C.he is quite good at teaching small children Chinese |
D.learning Chinese is very popular in Singapore |
We learn from the passage that _______ .

The world’s astronomers came to their senses yesterday and approved a new definition of the word “planet” that would drop tiny Pluto from the club and relegate it instead to a lesser realm of “dwarf planets.” It was a welcome step away from a proposal that would have kept Pluto as a planet but meantime opened the door for dozens of small, icy bodies on the fringes of the solar system.
The important vote came after fierce debate at a meeting of the International Astronomical Union, which had been considering a proposal to define a planet as any object that orbits a star and is large enough for its own gravity to pull it into a spherical (球形的) shape. That definition was scientifically precise but led to results that offended common sense. An asteroid, a small moon, and another icy ball like Pluto would suddenly have risen to planet-hood, swelling the number of planets to 12, with many more icy rocks likely to qualify as more was learned about them.
Fortunately, the astronomers have now added another requirement to the definition. Planets must not only be large enough to be round, they must also have cleared out the neighborhood around their orbits. Pluto would not qualify — it orbits in a belt of icy debris on the edge of the solar system. Neither would an icy rock nicknamed Xena, which orbits in that same zone, nor Ceres, a big asteroid that marches in the company of other asteroids. Pluto’s moon, Charon, which had qualified under the first proposal, is also out of the running.
Pluto, with its small size and oddball orbit, should never have been deemed a planet in the first place. Henceforth there will be eight planets, at least three dwarf planets, and tens of thousands of “smaller solar system bodies,” like comets and asteroids. Our only regret is that the astronomers chose the name “dwarf planets” for Pluto’s new category instead of abandoning the word entirely when discussing these less-than-planetary bodies. We can know from the passage that the new definition of planet __________.
A.has been welcomed by all walks of life |
B.will kick the Pluto out of the planet group in the solar system |
C.still makes the Pluto as a planet |
D.will enlarge the number of planets in our solar system into permanently 12 |
After the new definition of “planet” was put forward, all of the following are regarded as planet except________.
A.Venus |
B.Ceres |
C.Mars |
D.Jupiter |
The writer’s attitudes towards the new definition of “planet” is________.
A.welcome |
B.indifferent |
C.hostile |
D.neutral |
If the original definition of “planet” had not been changed, there would be the following consequences except that ________.
A.thousands of icy rocks in space will be classified as planets |
B.some asteroids big enough to pull itself into a spherical shape will be regarded as planets. |
C.the Pluto will be relegated to “dwarf planet” |
D.there will be at least twelve or even more planets in the solar system. |
People in the United States honour their parents with two special days: Mother's Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father's Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care to their children. These two days offer an opportunity to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with childcare.
These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother's Day people wear camations(康乃馨). A red one symbolizes(象征) a living mother. A white one shows that mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honour their parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery. On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues(烤肉)for Father's Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.
Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make
them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are
valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of
the gift that is important, but it is "the thought that counts".
Greeting card stores, florists,candy makers, bakeries,
telephone companies, and other stores do a lot of business during
these holidays. Which is NOT a reason for children to show love and respectfor their parents?
A.Their parents bring them up. |
B.Their parents give love and care to them. |
C.Their parents educate them to be good persons. |
D.Their parents passed away before they grew up. |
What do you learn from the passage?
A.Mother's Day and Father's Day are both in May. |
B.Fewer women worked outside the home in the past. |
C.Not all the children respect their parents. |
D.Fathers are not as important as mothers at home. |
Which do you think is RIGHT about "carnation" ?
A.It only has two kinds of colour. |
B.It refers to the special clothes people wear on Mother's Dayor Father's Day. |
C.It's a kind of flower showing love and best wishes. |
D.People can wear carnations only on the second Sundayin May. |
