Listening test is one of the most important parts of the English exam. Here are some tips for you.
Before you start to listen, you need to relax. Don’t be stressed out. And try to read the questions. These questions usually help you understand the conversation or the passage.

☆What happened?
☆When, where, and how?
☆What does the speaker want to tell us?
In this way, you may understand the passage better.

Can you understand the following words?
“Long time no see.”
“Good good study, day day up.”
“I like your smile, but unlike you put your shoes on my face.”
Yes, we call these examples Chinglish, like “people mountain, people sea”.
Chinglish usually means English vocabulary with Chinese grammar on street signs or products. However, many English speaking tourists love them. Tom has been living in Beijing for years. “I think many Chinese people dislike Chinglish. But I love it. It’s quite interesting. I think if the translations of English in China are all perfect, something will be lost from Chinese culture.” However, Chinglish will probably become a part of history in future. Beijing has made a plan to correct Chinglish within five years. “It is so funny to see Chinglish on the signs. And they are a kind of trouble for communication between the Chinese and foreigners,” a Beijinger said.
However, some people in China like Chinglish. They think that English has “borrowed” a lot from other languages such as German, French and Spanish in the past, and now as Chinese’s turn. What is Chinglish according to the passage?
| A．The English words easy to pronounce. |
| B．The Chinese words difficult to translate. |
| C．The English words with Chinese grammar. |
| D．The Chinese words that foreigners love. |
What does “people mountain, people sea” mean?
| A．There are many people. | B．Humans are powerful. |
| C．All the people are running. | D．Humans respect nature. |
What does Tom think about Chinglish?
| A．It shows Chinese are popular. |
| B．It is hated by all foreign tourists. |
| C．It helps him to learn English well. |
| D．It is also a part of Chinese culture. |
The last paragraph but one (倒数第二段) tells us that Beijing will____.
| A．put English words into Chinese |
| B．change English and Chinese |
| C．help foreigners to learn Chinglish |
| D．correct Chinglish in future |

| A．French | B．Chinese |

Astronauts on board the Shenzhou-10 spacecraft have taught a lesson from space to schoolchildren through a live video. The astronauts made some experiments in the lab Tiangong-1. They showed a lot of physical(物理的) phenomenon（现象） in a zero-gravity（失重的） environment.
Greetings from space have opened a new history in China.
Wang Yaping, Shenzhou-10 Astronaut, said, "Hello, everyone. I am Wang Yaping. I will host the lecture today.” It is the country’s very first space lecture. And all eyes were on the female space teacher Wang Yaping and her two other partners.
The first part of the class was all about weight. This floating（漂浮的） pose looked like a pose from a Chinese Kongfu movie. Audiences were amazed by it.
Wang Yaping later did some other experiments to show what happens in zero gravity. She also did an experiment of what water is like on space.
In Beijing, about 330 students attended the class and ask questions of the astronauts from video calls.
Song Xinke said, "It’s very interesting. The experiment that impressed me a lot is the water balloon. The phenomenon is very beautiful. We have not learned enough knowledge to understand it. So I want to learn more after the class."
Liu Yuezhang said, "I feel very excited about this class. I have lots of questions and the astronauts are answering our questions. They teach us a lot of knowledge."
China’s very first lesson from space was a new chapter（篇章） in history. The experiment is sure to be a great encouragement for the young to explore the unknown. And get a greater understanding of the universe.
