　　Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)

　　Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed

by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four

choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken

the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

　　Passage 1

　　Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:

　　 The fourth-graders atChicago's McCormick Elementary School don't know

Chinese is supposed to be hard to learn. For most, who speak Spanish at home,

it's becoming their third language. They've been heating and using Chinese

words since nursery, and it's natural to give a “ni hao”when strangers enter

the classroom.“It's really fun!” says Miranda Lucas, taking a break from a

lesson that includes a Chinese interview with Jackie Chan. “I'm teaching my

mom to speak Chinese.”

　　 The classroom scene at McCormick is unusual, but it may soon be a common

phenomenon in American schools, where Chinese is rapidly becoming the hot new

language. Government officials have long wanted more focus on useful languages

like Chinese, and pressure from them -- as well as from business leaders,

politicians, and parents -- has produced a quick growth in the number of

programs.

　　Chicago city officials make their best effort to include Chinese in their

public schools. Their program has grown to include 3,000 students in 20

schools, with more schools on a waiting list. Programs have also spread to

places like Los Angeles, New York City, and North Carolina. Supporters see

knowledge of the Chinese language and culture as an advantagein a global

economy where China is growing in importance. “This is an interesting way to

begin to engage with the world's next superpower,” says Michael Levine,

director of education at the Asia Society, which has started five new public

high schools that offer Chinese. “Globalization has already changed the

arrangements in terms of how children today are going to think about their

careers, The question is when, not whether, the schools are going to adjust.”

　　(76) The number of students leaming Chinese is tiny compared with how many

study Spanish or French. But one report shows that before-college enrollment

( 报名人数 ) nearly quadrupled between 1992 and 2002, from 6,000 to 24,000.

Despite the demand, though, developing programs isn't easy. And the No. one

difficulty, everyone agrees, is having enough teachers. Finding teacher “is

the challenge,” says Scott McGinnis, an academic adviser for a language

institute and a Chinese teacher for 15 years at the college level. “Materials

are easy comparison. Or getting schools funded.”

　　1. The best title for this passage might be_____.

　　A. Next Hot Language to Study: Chinese

　　B. Next Hot Language to Study: Spanish
