25、People at home keep asking me, "Is it hard to learn Chinese? Why have you learned it so well?" Well, there's one thing that makes Chinese easy to learn: there are so many people to talk to. You've probably heard that it's the most spoken language. Today it's also one of the most written languages online. And with so many Chinese people interested in learning English, it couldn't be easier to find a friend for language learning. You just have to know where to look for them.

The really good place to look for them is QQ. QQ has the same status(地位) in China as AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) does in the US. It is reported that at any moment, up to 9,000,000 people are using QQ. They're at work, or in a web café(网吧), or at home, and the information of the users can be found. If you sign on with your address set to "abroad", you'll soon find that many thousands of them are interested in speaking to you! This is a great way for you to learn Chinese, and for them to learn English. I think that it's a very interesting way of cultural contact(文化交流), too, for ordinary people from around the world to be able to have one-on-one contact.

【1】 In the first paragraph(段落), the writer tells us ___________.

A. why his family members want to learn Chinese

B. where you can find people to talk to for language learning

C. the easiest thing to do is learning Chinese

D. Chinese isn’t so hard to learn as his friends think

【2】From the second paragraph we know that QQ and AIM are __________.

A. addresses for the Internet users

B. documents you need to get online

D. programs of a computer

26、   There have been many great inventions that changed the way we live. The first great invention was one that is still very important today—the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things.

Then in the early 1800’s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn’t have to explore(探测) much anymore. They began to work to make life better.

In the second half of the 19th century, many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the light and the radio. These all became a big part of our life today.

The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions：the helicopter in1907, movies with sound in 1923. the computer in 1927, and jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made.  Nylon（尼龙）came in 1937. It changed the kind of clothes people wear. 

By this time most people had a very good life, and man has a desire to explore again. The world was known to man but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their steps into space. 

New inventions will someday allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.

27、

The ancient silk road was a once in a life time journey. It was one of the most important milestones of trade and culture in world history, and the pioneer, Zhang Qian, could not be easily forgotten by history. He was an outstanding diplomat, traveler and explorer in the Han Dynasty of China, honored as the “the first Chinese to open their eyes to see the world” and “the Columbus of the east”.

In 138 BC, at the reign of Emperor Wudi, Zhang Qian was sent to the west of China for an alliance with the Yue-chi people to fight against the Xiongnu. He started his trip from Chang’an（now Xi’an in Shaanxi Province）to Longxi （in Gansu Province）. Along the way, no matter how difficult the environment was, his faith was firm. But unfortunately, Zhang was caught by the Xiongnu people just as he left Han, and was held prisoner for ten years.

Zhang finally managed to escape with some of his men and continued to travel west without any dry food or drinking water. Due to the excellent skill of shooting arrows, they survived by eating some birds and other animals along the way. When Zhang at last reached the Yue-chi in Northern India, he was disappointed to find that they didn’t want to fight against the Xiongnu people. On the return journey, Zhang Qian and his men were again caught. It was not until 125 BC that they returned to Chang’an.

Though Zhang hadn’t finished his mission, he brought back first-hand information on the geography, ethnography, and societies of Central Asia. The paths Zhang Qian explored later served as the highways connecting Europe, the Middle East, Mesopotamia, Central Asia, and East Asia. Commodities, crops, animals, religions, ideas, music, technology, and artifacts have been transported by diplomats, merchants and soldiers along this network of highways, which have, since the 19th century been known as the “Silk Road”. Zhang Qian has been remembered as the great explorer that opened up a new era of cultural exchange between East and West with long-lasting treasure well observable today.

【1】What is the passage mainly about?

A．The importance of the Silk Road.

B．Zhang Qian and the Silk Road.

C．Zhang Qian and Xiongnu people.

D．The paths Zhang Qian explored.

【2】The underlined word “alliance” in Paragraph 2 has the similar meaning to _______.

A．decision

B．exploration

C．agreement

D．war

【3】According to the passage, what is true about the Silk Road?

A．Columbus set the footprints on the ancient silk road.

B．The Silk Road was a highway to Europe in Han Dynasty.

C．Zhang Qian was a pioneer opening up the Silk Road.

D．The Silk Road has the greatest value in Chinese history.

【4】Which words best describe Zhang Qian?

A．Proud and excellent.

B．Careful and confident.

C．Honest and faithful.

D．Brave and strong-minded.
