Lu Xun is one of the greatest Chinese writers of the 20tℎ century．Besides his famous s tories, he also wrote many influential articles about the living conditions of Chinese people． Born in 1881to a wealthy family, Lu Xun had a happy childhood．In 1893, however, his gra ndfather, a senior government official, was put into prison for taking money．At the same ti me, his father became seriously ill．From that time on, his family were no longer accepted b y their relatives and friends．These early experiences graetly influenced his writing．By the time Lu Xun arrived in Nanjing to study at university in 1899, he already believed th at Chinese society had to change and become modern．In 1902he went to study in Japan．T here, he began writing articles for several Chinese student magazines．He showed a gift for writing and translating and he even wrote several books, although none was popular．He re turned to China in 1909because he was in need of money．After working for several years as a teacher in Beijing, Lu Xun again returned to writing．I n 1918, he wrote his famous short story Diary of a Madman．It was the first Chinese novel p ublished using the everyday language that people spoke, which helped make it a great succes s． This, together with his novel The True Story of Ah Q （1921）, made Lu Xun a leading Ch inese writer．Although successful, Lu Xun still worried greatly about China's future．In 1926, he moved to Shanghai and gave up writing stories in order to devote himself to what he calleed"pen wa rfare"．He now only wrote articles which called on the people to fight against the governme nt．For this, the government stopped him from publishing any more books．He was forced t o write his articles using false names．Since his death in 1936, Lu Xun's importance and influence have grown．Today, many of hi s writings are included in school textbooks and his works are read by millions around the wo rld．（1）Which of the following greatly influenced Lu Xun's writing according to the passage？________A The people he met in Japan．B The experiences in his early life．C Working as a teacher in Beijing．D His father's being put into prison．（2）According to the passage，why was Lu Xun's story Diary of a Madmam so popular？________A It was based on Lu Xun's diary．B It was the first novel to use everyday language．C Its story took place in modern times．D It was written using a western style．（3）The underlined word"This"（Paragraph 4）refers to________．A the success of Diary of a Madman．B the use of everyday language．C the first C hinese novel．D The True Story of Ah Q．（4）After moving to Shanghai，Lu Xun mainly wrote________．A funny stories．B articles about himself．C articles against the government．D stories about governmment officials．（5）In what order did these events take place in Lu Xun's life？________A c-a-b-d-e B． C a-c-d-b-e D．15.The Vieira family moved to the United States in 1981. At that time, they decided to stop speaking Spanish at home and only communicate in English. This was because they were now living in an English-speaking country.Now the Vieira children are adults, and they sometimes travel to Spain to visit their family and friends. But they cannot communicate with them. Unfortunately this is common. When people move to new countries, they often leave their own customs and mother language behind. This is a mistake because there are many benefits（益处）to knowing more than one language.One advantage of speaking more than one language is that you can communicate directly with more people around the world. You do not have to depend on others to talk for you, so you're more independent. People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate.Furthermore, speaking a second language also allows people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively. Local expressions, vocabulary, and even jokes can have a powerful effect on a person's understanding of another culture. So, knowing more than one language increases your knowledge of other cultures.Finally, having more multi-language speakers improves relationships between countries. If people from different countries can communicate well, the world can become closer. Countries will then have more respect for each other and better understand each other's problems.The benefits of knowing more than one language are clear. In fact, there are no disadvantages. It is very sad that many people don't try to learn another language. It is even worse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become silenced.（1）What is the passage mainly about?A The benefits of learning other languages.B The reasons why people come to America.C The importance of learning English.D How to learn another language.（2）The passage begins with the experience of the Vieira family in order to ______.A discuss the need for teaching a new languageB introduce the passages main character s to the readersC describe the advantages of moving to another countryD show the problems of speaking only one language（3）The underlined phrase "multi-language speakers" means people who know ______.A their mother languageB a new languageC more than one languageD body lan guage（4）According to the passage, if you can speak more than one language, you can ______.A find a better jobB make more friendsC better understand historyD communi cate more independently（5）Based on the last paragraph, which of the following is the worst?A Not knowing another language.B Forgetting one's mother language.C Refusing to learn another language.D Failing to communicate with others.16.
