Question

9．If Confucius（孔子）were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28birthday with a big cake，there would be a lot of candles．IIe'd need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out．
While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day，few people in the United States will give him a passing thought．It's nothing personal．Most Americans don't even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes．
But this doesn't mean that Americans don't care about Confucius．In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China．
In the past two decades，the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities．More recently，the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80countries．These schools teach both Chinese language and culture．The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art，history and philosophy（哲學(xué)）．Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy．Students in the United States，at the same time，are racing to learn Chinese．So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States．Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers．
So the old thinker's ideas are still alive and well．
Today China attracts the West more than ever，and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West．
As for the old thinker，he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West，even if his birthday is．

Answer 1

分析 本文是一篇新聞報(bào)道．本文主要講述了外國(guó)人對(duì)中國(guó)文化的興趣越來(lái)越濃，對(duì)于孔子的思想也越來(lái)越感興趣這一社會(huì)現(xiàn)象．孔子思想已經(jīng)深入西方，成為西方人深入了解中國(guó)人的一座橋梁．美國(guó)學(xué)生對(duì)漢語(yǔ)產(chǎn)生了濃厚興趣，這就需要更多的老師傳播孔子思想和中國(guó)文化．

解答 64B．作者意圖題．根據(jù)文章第一段"If Confucius（孔子）were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake，there would be a lot of candles．He'd need a fan or a b wind to help him put them out．"可知文章開(kāi)篇做了一個(gè)有趣的設(shè)想，假如孔子活到現(xiàn)在，給他過(guò)生日，需用扇子或大風(fēng)幫他熄滅生日蛋糕上的蠟燭，目的是吸引讀者，引起讀者興趣．引起本文要討論的真正話題，故答案B正確．
65A．推理判斷題．根據(jù)"Today China attracts the West more than ever，and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West．"說(shuō)明中國(guó)對(duì)每個(gè)人有很強(qiáng)的吸引力，很多美國(guó)人對(duì)中國(guó)都很感興趣，故答案A正確．
66D．主旨大意題．本文主要講述的正是中國(guó)越來(lái)越引起世界的關(guān)注，同樣，中國(guó)的文化也引起了世界人民的興趣，很多人都開(kāi)始了解中國(guó)的文化，這給孔子這位中國(guó)的思想家?guī)��?lái)了新生，A項(xiàng)與文章內(nèi)容矛盾；C和D項(xiàng)太片面．故答案D正確．
67C．推理判斷題．本文主要講述了外國(guó)人對(duì)中國(guó)文化的興趣越來(lái)越濃，對(duì)于孔子的思想也越來(lái)越感興趣這一社會(huì)現(xiàn)象，那么很有可能是新聞報(bào)道的內(nèi)容，文章新穎有時(shí)效性，所以選C．A項(xiàng)指?jìng)饔洠�詳�?xì)描述人物的生平；B項(xiàng)指歷史論文，用詞要術(shù)語(yǔ)化；D項(xiàng)指哲學(xué)課本，應(yīng)著重哲學(xué)概念和思想．故答案C正確．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是一篇?dú)v史文化類閱讀．本文主旨鮮明，題目很容易在文中找到答案．做題時(shí)要注意文章的首段和每一段的首句或尾句，因?yàn)樗鼈兺�往就是文章的主題句．閱讀中要注意要點(diǎn)之間的關(guān)系．然后帶著問(wèn)題，再讀全文，找出答題所需要的依據(jù)，完成閱讀任務(wù)．
