Question

【題目】 When Faith Wan jiku graduated from the Technical University of Kenya last year, she immediately enrolled (注冊) at the Confucius Institute in Kenyatta University. She wanted to learn Chinese，as she believed that it would help her land a good job.

She has just completed the Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (HSK) 3 exam. HSK is a test of Chinese language level for non-native speakers, organized by the Confucius Institute Headquarters.

However，this level isn't enough for Wanjiku，who plans to pass HSK 6. She wanted to increase her level or Chinese and improve her spoken Chinese. And Wanjiku isn’t alone. The number of people taking the HSK reached 6.8 million in 2018 and went up 4.6 percent from a year earlier, the Ministry of Education said on May 31.

Chinese is becoming an increasingly popular choice of language to study around the world. Currently， middle school students in Russia can take Chinese as an elective languages test in the country’s national college entrance exam, Sputnik News reported.

In May，Zambia became the fourth country in Africa- after Kenya, Uganda and South Africa – to introduce Chinese languages to its schools.

Behind the growing popularity of Chinese language leaning is the international community’s positive attitude toward China’s future developments, as well as the peoples longing to learn about Chinese civilization and culture.

Indeed，it’s as the former president of South Africa Nelson Mandela put it，“if you talk to a man in a langrage he understands，that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his in language，that goes to his heart.”

【答案】

【1】B

【2】A

【3】B

【解析】

本文為新聞報(bào)導(dǎo)。文章主要講了全世界都在學(xué)中國話，作者以肯尼亞工業(yè)大學(xué)畢業(yè)的Wanjiku想學(xué)習(xí)中文為例，來說明漢語在全球的影響。

【1】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“She wanted to learn Chinese，as she believed that it would help her land a good job.” 她想學(xué)中文，因?yàn)樗�相信這會(huì)幫助她找到一份好工作。可知，畢業(yè)后Wanjiku想學(xué)漢語，故選B。

【2】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“HSK is a test of Chinese language level for non-native speakers, organized by the Confucius Institute Headquarters.” HSK是由孔子學(xué)院總部組織的針對非母語人士的漢語水平測試。可知，漢語水平考試是一項(xiàng)針對非母語人士的考試。故選A。

【3】

詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第三段中However，this level isn't enough for Wanjiku，who plans to pass HSK 6. （然而，對于打算通過HSK六級考試的Wanjiku來說，這個(gè)水平還不夠。）和 “The number of people taking the HSK reached 6.8 million in 2018 and went up 4.6 percent from a year earlier, the Ministry of Education said on May 31.” （教育部5月31日表示，2018年，參加HSK的人數(shù)達(dá)到680萬人，比上年同期增長4.6%。）由此可推斷出劃線句子“And Wanjiku isn’t alone”的意思是與Wanjiku有同樣想法的人不止一個(gè)，即有很多人都想通過HSK六級考試，故選B。
