閱讀下面的短文,根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容選擇最佳答案.

  Yang Zhenhua has been a taxi driver for years. He knows every corner of the city. His work usually wins him thanks except when he meets foreigners, for Yang doesn't know any English.

  “Now I study English in my free time,” said Yang in his 40s. He pulls an English textbook from the toolbox. “I study English to help with Beijing's Olympics(奧林匹克運動會),” he said proudly. Yang is just one of the millions of common people in Beijing who started to learn English when Beijing was decided to host the 2008 Olympic Games.

  Learning and speaking English is “hot” among the people of this 3,000-year-old city. From schools to factories, men and women, old and young are studying their “ABC”. Books teaching useful expressions for everyday communication(交際) are the most popular.

  Some people, such as taxi drivers, bus conductors and the police, are asked to learn basic English. Nearly 3,000 students from 50 universities in Beijing reached the streets last August as volunteers(志愿者) to teach English to the people of this city. They taught common and useful sentences, such as greeting(打招呼) and asking and answering simple questions.

  Official figures(數(shù)字) show that about 15% of Beijingers can speak English, more or less. It is said that it will rise to 70% or 80 % during the following six years. Besides, the government encourages(鼓勵) the use of English in many places. The city underground railways give messages by radio in both English and Chinese.

  English, not Chinese, is used as the most important working language for the Olympic development. In the Beijing 2008 Olympic Committee(委員會), nearly all the committee members can speak English freely. Many are very good at the language.

1.Yang Zhenhua can hardly win himself thanks from foreigners because ________.

[  ]

A.he isn't polite to them at all

B.he is a common taxi driver

C.he can't speak English

D.he doesn't know the city well

2.According to the report, the English beginners in Beijing best like to learn ________.

[  ]

A.the letters A, B, and C

B.everyday English

C.English texts

D.words and expressions

3.Nearly 3,000 students from 50 universities in Beijing reached the streets last August to ________.

[  ]

A.practice their spoken English

B.show their love of Beijing

C.tell people the importance of English

D.teach the Beijingers English

4.Which of the following is true?

[  ]

A.All Beijingers are asked to speak English.

B.Beijingers are encouraged to use as much English as possible.

C.All the taxi drivers in Beijing must speak English.

D.Beijingers study English to be in the Beijing Olympics.

5.The report is about ________.

[  ]

A.the importance of English

B.how to learn English well

C.the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games

D.Beijingers' interest in learning English

答案:C;B;D;B;D
解析:

  1.這是一道細(xì)節(jié)題.短文首段中His work usually wins him thanks except when he meets foreigners, for Yang doesn't know any English.說明,楊振華幾乎不能從外國人贏得感謝的原因是因為他不懂英語.

  2.這是一道轉(zhuǎn)換理解題.短文第三段尾句Books teaching useful expressions for everyday communication are the most popular.和該段中the English beginners in Beijing like to learn everyday English.只不過是同一意思的不同表達(dá)法而已.

  3.這是一道細(xì)節(jié)題.短文第4段中Nearly 3,000 students from 50 universities in Beijing reached the streets last August as volunteers to teach English to the people of this city.清楚地說明.

  4.這是一道正誤辨認(rèn)題.根據(jù)短文倒數(shù)第二段中the government encourages the use of English in many places.表明,政府鼓勵北京人盡可能多地使用英語.

  5.這是一道主旨大意題.全文報道了北京人根據(jù)當(dāng)前形勢的需要,在政府的鼓勵下,對學(xué)習(xí)英語的極大興趣.
