In recent years, Britain has seen a rise in interest in learning and teaching Chinese as a second language. In 2015, Britain's Department for Education devoted 10 million pounds to Chinese teaching in state schools across the country. Hundreds of pupils are taking part in the program, which aims to make at least 5, 000 young people fluent in Chinese by 2022.
A Chinese-English nursery named Hatching Dragons was established in London in 2015, accepting babies from as young as 6 months to 5 years old. Two years later, the first bilingual (双语的) English and Chinese primary school was opened at Kensington, London.
Petts Wood Mandarin-English Preschool, which opened Friday at Bromley in southeastern suburb of London, is the first Chinese immersion (沉浸式) preschool founded in Britain. After three years of planning and preparation, the school has drawn expert opinions on Chinese immersion learning from Europe, the US and China. It offers Chinese and English bilingual immersive education for children aged 2 to 5.
Bromley Councillor Kim Botting, who has visited China three times, is very interested in Britain-China education exchanges. He called the school a wonderful and fantastic thing for the community while attending the opening ceremony on Friday.
The local community showed huge interest and support to the newly established preschool. Xu Zhi, head teacher of Petts Wood, said the preschool offered up to 25 places and six children registered (before the opening, with many families signed up for trial lessons in the next few weeks.
"I had the idea of establishing a bilingual preschool three years ago when I realized that more and more British families wanted an earlier start for their children's Chinese learning," Xu said. "Many high school students in Britain also learn Chinese at school for two or three hours each week, but that is not enough and also a bit late for language learning."
(1)、What do we know about Petts Wood Mandarin-English Preschool?A、It opens to all children aged 2 to 6 in the community. B、It requires all students to register before the opening. C、It is the first Chinese immersion preschool in Britain. D、It employs teachers from Europe, the US and Japan.(2)、What does Kim Botting's attitude to Petts Wood Mandarin-English Preschool?A、Positive. B、Doubtful. C、Unconcerned. D、Unclear.(3)、Why does Xu Zhi mention high school students in the last paragraph?A、To show the difficulty of learning Chinese. B、To stress the importance of bilingual learning. C、To praise high school students for their efforts. D、To explain the necessity of a bilingual preschool.(4)、What is the text?A、A short story.

In a new set of studies, researchers found that people showed greater goal commitment and performance when they told their goal to someone they believed had higher status(地位) than themselves. In these studies, higher-status people were those who the participants thought had more prestige(威望) than they did.
In one study, 17l undergraduate students were seated at computers and told they had to move a slider(滑块) on the screen to the number 50 as many times as possible within the given time. After counting how many times they successfully did this, they had to do it again, but this time they were told to set and write down a goal.
The experimenter then informed the participants that a lab assistant would come around and check on their goals. In some cases, the lab assistant was dressed in a suit and introduced himself as a doctoral student in the business school who was an expert on today's study topic. For other participants, the same lab assistant dressed in casual clothing and introduced himself as a student at a local community college who was working part time at the business school. A third group of participants didn't share their goals with the lab assistant.
Results showed that participants who shared their goals with the higher-status lab assistant reported they were more willing to achieve the goal they set for themselves than those who told the lower-status assistant. And participants who shared their goal with the lower-status assistant performed no better than those who told no one about their goal. "These findings provide evidence that refutes popular media recommendations that one should stay silent about a goal," said Howard Klein, lead author of the new study.
"Contrary to what you may have heard, in most cases you get more benefit from sharing your goal than if you don't as long as you share it with someone whose opinion you value," Klein said. "You don't want him to think less of you because you didn't achieve your goal."
(1)、Why did the lab assistant change his clothes?A、To act out roles of different status. B、To approach the students more easily. C、To work for different business schools. D、To avoid being recognized by the students.(2)、What does the underlined word "refutes" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A、Deals with. B、Catches up with. C、Says no to. D、Relies on.(3)、Why do we benefit from sharing our goals with the right person?A、We care about what he thinks of us. B、We get useful advice and support from him. C、We improve ourselves according to his opinions. D、We find a strong sense of purpose by sharing.(4)、What might be the suitable title for the text?A、Share your goals — but do use the right words B、Share your goals — but be careful who you tell C、Share your goals — and you'll surely achieve them D、Share your goals — and you'll get mentally strong -

There can be magic in the touch of a hand that loves you. It brings comfort and a silent promise that says, "I am here and you are not alone."
I memorized every detail about my children. As babies, they reached for me whenever they were hungry or tired or just needed to be held. Sometimes, if they woke in the night, just the touch of my hand would ease them back to sleep. They clung to me when they took their first steps and we held hands when crossing streets and walking from the car to their classroom on their first day of school.
As they grew older and more independent, I noticed that they didn't hold my hand much any more. I told myself it was part of growing up, and I should just be glad they could do things on their own now.
But when you've been needed so much for such a long time, it's hard to step back and feel unnecessary.
Then one day, I was visiting my oldest son in New York, where he was working as an actor on a TV show. As we were about to cross a busy street that was filled with traffic, he grabbed my hand and shouted, "Hang on to me, Mom," then led me safely across.
At that moment, I realized two things. First, my boy had become a man. Second, it was clear that our roles had changed. We still needed each other, but in different ways than before.
That scene has replayed in various ways with each of my three children. They have all taught me to lean on them just as they once leaned on me, and that we can always lean on each other. We live miles apart, but stay in touch every day. There is magic and comfort and healing in the touch of a hand that loves you, even if it "touches" you from afar.

B、She was worried that they couldn't manage themselves. C、She was glad to be able to step back and enjoy herself. D、She felt a bit uncomfortable when not needed so much as before.(3)、The author's visit to her son in New York made her realize ____.A、she needed her son more than before B、her son had become mature and reliable C、time with children is always happy D、she was unwilling to accept the change in their roles(4)、What is the author's main purpose in writing the text?A、To show the power of the touch of a hand.

"I'm going to play basketball, Daddy." Lauren flew into my arms when I came in from work. "That's 1 , honey," I replied naturally. I thought she meant outside the house—on the driveway. Into the kitchen, my wife Helen's silence indicated I had 2 something. After a while, she spoke slowly, "Lauren is joining the girls' high-school basketball team."
I 3 my girl's sportsmanlike courage, but 4 was still in my stomach. Lauren was only just 1.55m tall. 5 legs and a heavy body were surely a(n) 6 for her in playing basketball.
Finally, the game day arrived. Lauren and her teammates moved out. Their game faces seemed 7 to win. At first, though not playing, Lauren followed the movement on the court and 8 every play. I could even 9 her shout "No way!" when a referee made an unfair call against a teammate. Sitting on the sidelines, Lauren still enjoyed the game very much.
Suddenly, the announcer's voice boomed, "Number thirty-three, Lauren Wray, in." My heart 10 wildly. What if she got injured or other girls on the team made fun of her? But what I saw was that Lauren made every effort to keep pace with the others. Just before the end of the game, they 11 the ball to Lauren. She caught it. She shot. 12 she scored!
The audience began clapping and 13 . Lauren's brown eyes shone as she wiped her sweaty forehead. Lauren's uplifting spirits and impressive performance, wrapped in a small 14 , struck everyone greatly. I felt enormously 15 to have Lauren as my daughter.

20、 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Kids are begging parents for cell phones at younger and younger ages, leaving families with tough choices to make. It might take some time to teach kids how to use phones as tools, not toys. Here are a few ways to get the message across.
Tell them not to use phones at school. Phones can be a distraction (干扰) from learning when used in the classroom. In fact, 43% of teens admit that they often or sometimes use their phones as a way to avoid face-to-face communication with others.
Encourage them to contact long-distance relatives. They're also for keeping in touch with people who you may not get to talk to as often. If you have families who live in another city or state, ask your kids to strike up (发起谈话) a conversation.
Lead by example. Setting an example is not only about how you use your phone, but also about how much you use it. When you feel bored and expect to glance over social media, fight it by taking a short walk.
Advise them not to use phones at the dinner table. For many families, the only time they truly get together is breaking bread at the end of a long day. Asking your children to leave their phones far from the dinner table is a great way to solve the problem.
Sometimes, kids need a little push in order to make better choices about their phones. If they're struggling with healthy habits, put some real-world events on the calendar. Good options include going to an amusement park, working together on a craft project or signing your kids up for sports.
A. Plan other forms of entertainment.
B. Prepare a dinner together with your children.
C. Screen time before bed reduces sleep quality.
D. They can also prevent students from connecting with one another.
E. So it is wise of parents to stress the importance of parent-child time.
F. Also, instead of reading a headline, why not pull out a book to read?
G. Phones aren't just for texting the best friend who lives two blocks away.
