2023-2024学年 人教版（2019）选择性必修二 Unit2 Bridging Cultures 单元测试卷
学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________
一、阅读理解
A Bachelor of Arts degree requires basic skills in a second language. It means you have to complete two years of university-level language study. I was lucky because I had studied Spanish before, though I wasn’t good at it, so I chose this language to learn at college. But that first day of Spanish class practicing mock(模拟的) conversations in an overcrowded room felt like the worst days of middle school Spanish classes. I felt I was not improving.
After my first year in college, I decided to travel to a Spanish-speaking country for part of the summer to improve my Spanish. I traveled to Guatemala for three weeks study: two in Quetzaltenango, which is a mid-sized town, and one in rural area. I lived with a host family, had one-on-one language classes, learned traditional weaving, and drank the most delicious hot chocolate I have ever tasted and went to strange places by myself. I communicated. I learned.
It was not until I traveled that I discovered the power of a second language. I had opened the door to conversations with people on a whole continent. By the time I did my official study abroad in Valdivia, Chile for the spring quarter of my second year of college, I was already at a fluent speaking level. I could make friends. I could talk about ideas and people’s lives. I could ask questions. I could be myself.
When you’re trying to learn a second language in a classroom, you’re surrounded by other people who also don’t speak the language. So whatever stage of language learning you’re now at, try to push yourself to find a couple of non-class opportunities to improve your skills. If you’re in a university town, there are probably language learners looking for language partners. There are increasing opportunities for formal and informal tutoring online in various languages. They’re all out there; it’s just up to you to find them.

13、答案：
Dear Kyle,
Knowing that you are thinking about having college education in China, I’m very glad and firmly believe that it’s a right choice.
You are sure to benefit a lot from it. With four years spent in China, you’ll have a further understanding of traditional Chinese culture and the present Chinese society, which will in turn make it easy for you to make more friends and start your own business after graduation. If you don’t want to stay in China, the ability of speaking Chinese and experiences of living in China can also guarantee you many good job opportunities.
As for me, I would be more than happy to help you. You can stay in my place before you settle down. All in all, if I were you, I wouldn’t let go of such a good chance. Write to me soon to let me know your decision.
Yours,
Li Hua
