People do this all the time in their own language

20、, so it is necessary (必要的) to do this in a foreign language, too. Here are some examples.1. "What's the matter？" "I went to a party last night, so I"2. "I feel so tired these days."" I think you'd better"3."Of course, she never stops talking. She

27、ke, 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 remember

28、 the birthdays of their own national heroes.But this doesn't mean that Americans don't care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained

29、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(哲學(xué))Some social scie

30、ntists 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

31、 States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.So the old thinker's ideas are still alive and well.Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture

32、 to the West.As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.64The opening paragraph is mainly intended to _.Aprovide some key facts about ConfuciusBattract the readers' interest in the subjectCshow great respect for the ancient thinkerDprove

35、B寫作意圖題。作者開篇提出，如果孔子活到今天，按照西方點(diǎn)蠟燭慶祝他的生日，吹蠟燭是一件麻煩的事情。作者以這個作為開場白，目的是吸引讀者。C有一定的干擾性。作者在后面講述了西方人不會這么做，這并不代表他們不尊重孔子，由此我們排除C。65. A推理判斷題。第四段的第一句就是本段的主旨句。這一段講述了孔子文化在西方的受歡迎程度，因此我們可以得出答案。66. D主旨大意題。全文講述了孔子學(xué)院在西方的受歡迎程度。它架起了東方文化向西方輸送的橋梁，因此是古老的思想家與未來的結(jié)合。C有一定的干擾性。本文介紹了孔子思想在西方國家的傳播，因此C的范圍過大。67. C文章出處題。本文介紹了孔子學(xué)院在西方的盛行，因

38、t he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame(受責(zé)備), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people cant read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; th
