| A. The Development of HSK B. Putonghua’s Deep Influence C. Chinese---More than a Language D. The Increasing Number of Foreigners Learning Chinese E. Job-hunting Becoming Easy with a Certain Level of Chinese |
Chinese is a member of the Sino-Tibetan family of languages and spoken by over a billion people in China. It is also one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. Learning Chinese is becoming more and more popular among foreigners. _______
Growing numbers of foreigners are showing a desire to learn the Chinese language, according to the latest official statistics. By the end of last year, nearly 30 million people from more than 85 countries and regions were learning standard Chinese-Putonghua. China is also witnessing a growth in the number of foreign students who come to study Chinese and related courses. An estimated 410,000 foreign students have signed up for Chinese courses over the past 10 years. It is estimated that the number of foreigners coming to China to learn the language has maintained an average annual growth rate of 35 per cent over the past few years.
The Reason Why Chinese is Getting Popular
China’s continuous economic expansion and the strengthening of its trade and business ties with the rest of the world have been behind the interest in learning Chinese. These kinds of business engagements have in turn sparked a huge demand for professional employees in foreign countries with a good command of Chinese._______
The trend is more evident among some of China’s largest trading partners, particularly Japan, the United States, the Republic of Korea and some nations in Southeast Asia. “I think a good knowledge of Chinese can help me find work back in my country as there are a growing number of business companies setting up operations in China,” said a 24-year-old female student of Peking University who comes from South Korea. She added that a certificate of the Chinese Proficiency Test, or Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (HSK), is important when seeking work in a large company in South Korea. Nowadays, more and more foreigners every year outside China took the HSK, according to statistics from China’s Ministry of Education. This trend is expected to increase.________
The HSK test began in Beijing in 1988. It is a national standardized test designed to assess foreign students’ command of the Chinese language. In 1991, the HSK test was held on a trial basis in Singapore, Japan and Australia It has since been gradually accepted by educational departments in more countries. So far, the Office of the State Commission for the Chinese Proficiency Test has set up 44 testing centres in 27 cities in China, including Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions, and 55 centres in 24 other countries in Asia, Europe, the Americas and Oceania. Since 1991, people from 120 countries have taken the test in those centres, said Vice-Minister of Education Zhang Xingsheng.________
The Chinese language-as well as Chinese culture and other languages and cultures-has played a tremendous role in developing human civilization and pushing forward social progress, Zhang said.“Hopefully the exchange of languages can help enhance understanding and friendship between peoples of different countries,”he added.

Earth Day at 40: What Good Is It Now? After 40 years, outsourced activism is replacing traditional Earth Day activities, and green’s gone mainstream, experts say. So what’s the point? |
以下是这些报道的简要内容介绍，请配对它们的标题。Where did this most popular day for couples come from? And how does it come into beings, year after year? Noel Lenski, professor of the University of Colorado, said the lovers’ holiday traces its roots to raucous annual Roman festivals held every year on February 15 and remained wildly popular well into the fifth century A.D.
The first Earth Day in 1970 was a raucous, radical teach-in that helped spur clean-air, clean-water, and endangered species legislation in the United States. Now, 40 years later, Earth Day is every day, as the saying goes. The thing is, it’s also everyday- environmentalism that has become a routine with greenness as much a marketing tactic as a moral pursuit.
Some 242 million turkeys were raised in the U.S. in 2010 for slaughter, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. Last year’s birds were worth about U.S. $3.6 billion. Before the big dinner, debunk the myths, we need to know that the first “real” U.S. Thanksgiving wasn’t until the 1800s and get to the roots of Thanksgiving 2010.
Father’s Day traditionally takes a backseat to Mother’s Day, and, for the most part, dads are cool with that, experts say. Nevertheless, as traditional roles around the house gradually change, fathers are gaining more attention on their special day, at least as measured in the monetary value of gifts estimated to be given on June 19, 2011, when the holiday will be celebrated in dozens of countries.
Cookouts, fireworks, and, of course, a chance to wish Uncle Sam a big “happy birthday” —the day means summer in full swing across the United States and beyond. Besides the founders of the US, Fireworks, first authorized by Congress in 1777, are another legacy. More than 14,000 fireworks displays light up U.S. skies each year.
下面文章有4处（第1～4题）需要添加小标题。请从以下选项（A、B、C、D和E）中选出符合各段意思的小标题，并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。
| A. There are few statues in the Middle East. B. Art is a good means for people to know about religions. C. Artists express their feelings and opinions in their works. D. People know more about our culture through learning art history. E. Art is more objective than history itself. |
A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general history classes. Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics and war. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions, and psychology.
In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective: it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly “political” artist. In his well-known painting The Third of May 1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its misuse of power over people. Over a hundred years later, symbolic images were used in Pablo Picasso’s Guernica to express the horror of war. Meanwhile, on another continent, the powerful paintings of Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros – as well as the works of Alfredo Ramos Martins – depicted these Mexican artists’ deep anger and sadness about social problems.
In the same way, art can reflect a culture’s religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art was almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldn’t read, they could still understand biblical stories in the pictures on church walls.
By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was (and still is) its absence of human and animal images. This reflects the Islamic belief that statues are unholy. That’s why no figures can be found in or around places of interest in these regions.
