第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节 （共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

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 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 4 remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.

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 80

countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese

culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy (哲学). Some social scientists suggest

that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the

drawbacks of Western 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.

is.
