九年级英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

I left my hometown in London last year and now I have enjoyed working in this small city in China. Learning a foreign language opens you up to the culture and history of a country. So in order to know more about China, I started to learn Chinese.

But at times, I found myself in funny situations. When I greeted strangers in China, they began to talk a lot and very fast. They asked me questions about everything. But all I could do was to look at them with a blank face. I had no idea what they were talking about. Were they just being kind, funny or impolite? Many people want to make friends with me. But I am a bit upset when I find out the reason why they need a foreign friend. They say they want to practice their English. I don’t need friends like this. I like friends to share my feelings and ideas with.

However, the more Chinese I learn, the more similarities I find it has with English. In English, thick-skinned is to describe a person who doesn’t care for criticism (批评). I was surprised to find that houlianpi in Chinese means the same. And both languages share some common idioms (习语). For example, “look on with folded arms” means xiushoupangguan, and “burn the boats” is similar to pofuchenzhou.

I’m still on my journey to learn Chinese. I believe that sometimes you have the most fun on a journey.

1.The writer comes from __________.

A.the UK B.the USA C.Australia D.Canada

2.Many Chinese want to make friends with the writer because__________　 .

A.they are interested in Western culture

B.they want a partner to practice English with

C.they are willing to share feelings and ideas with him

D.they want to help foreigners with their Chinese

3.The underlined word “similarities” means “__________” in Chinese.

A.相似点 B.不同点 C.规律性 D.重要性

4.A thick-skinned person may __________.

A.be very strong and seldom fall ill

B.like to criticize others for their mistakes

C.talk a lot and speak fast

D.feel OK when he’s criticized

5.If there would be a paragraph before the last paragraph of the text, it most probably would be about __________.

A.the reasons why he wants to learn Chinese

B.the similarities Chinese and English share

C.the differences between Chinese and English

D.the importance of learning Chinese and English
