When you think of Beijing, the beautiful green waters and hills of Beihai Park and the grand and beautiful Forbidden City will come to your mind.
In recent years, groups of modern buildings and specially designed plazas have appeared on Beijing’s streets. Standing in the street, you can feel how Beijing has changed. But foreigners still like to go to the hutongs.
The word hutong comes from the Mongolian language. Hutongs come to Beijing more than 700 years ago. As time passed, the hutongs have remained, and have become an important part of the essence of Beijing.
Many foreigners, when they come to Beijing from their far countries, will go directly to visit the hutongs after setting down. They sit in the courtyards, chatting with the native Beijingers about neighbors and their life. It seems that through their chatting, they can find the true meaning of Chinese family life.
Waving good-bye, they have to leave the hutongs, and say goodbye to the families with whom they have chatted happily. But they don’t feel like leaving. The hutongs have brought great enjoyment to them.
Although every country has it own special cultural background, economic situation and level and feelings are similar. The hutong is a cultural symbol of this city. And the families of the hutongs are also unforgettable.
小題1:What do we often think of when we talk about Beijing?
小題2:Where do the foreigners still like to go although Beijing has changed a lot?
小題3:What do we know from the third paragraph ?
小題4:將文中劃線部分譯成漢語

小題3:The history of  the word hutong./ something about  the word hutong .
小題4:似乎通過他們的聊天,他們能發(fā)現(xiàn)中國家庭生活的真實(shí)意義
小題5:.D

試題分析:
小題1:本文的第一段提到當(dāng)我們提到北京,我們會想到北海公園和紫荊城的美,故本題的答案
為Beihai Park and Forbidden City.
小題2:本文的第二段最后一句提到雖然北京發(fā)生了巨大的改變,但外國人仍然喜歡去胡同,故  
本題的答案為 They still like to go to the hutongs.
小題3:本文第三段的主要含義是胡同一詞主要來自于蒙古語,700多年前傳到中國,胡同現(xiàn)今
仍然是北京的精髓之一,所以本段主要介紹的單詞胡同的歷史,故本題的答案為The history 
of the word hutong.
小題4:it seems that可翻譯成似乎……的含義,through翻譯成通過的含義,the meaning of可翻譯成……的含義,故文中劃線的部分可翻譯成“似乎通過他們的聊天,他們能發(fā)現(xiàn)中國家庭生活的真實(shí)意義”。
小題5:本文的最后一句含義是胡同的文化是一個城市的符號,胡同的家庭是讓人難以忘懷,故本題的最佳標(biāo)題可以為胡同和家庭,故本題選D。
點(diǎn)評:本文主要介紹了胡同的歷史,胡同一詞的由來,以及外國人到北京來,在胡同里生活的有關(guān)內(nèi)容,主要強(qiáng)調(diào)胡同不僅是北京城的符號,而且能夠讓外國的游客在這里體會到家的感覺,閱讀本文應(yīng)該以胡同為關(guān)鍵詞,通讀全篇,才能更好的理解本文。

When I was a foreign teacher in China,every day I taught English to my students and they taught me about China.One day the topic turned to saying “I love you”.I was shocked to learn that not one of my students had said this to their mothers,nor had their mothers said it to them.“Does your mom love you?” “Of course,”they answered.
“How do you know it?” was my logical question.They responded that their moms cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their caring.I was strummed. So mom's cooking and criticizing read out as “I love you”. “Then how do you say ‘I love you’ to her?” They agreed that getting good grades, followed by good jobs would be how they showed their love.
I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough,so I repeated these queries in classes over time.Gradually,I began to get different responses.Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with their moms.
One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl.When she came home from university,her mother met her at the door and hugged(擁抱)her.This had never happened before,but her mom said,“Now that you have gone I have more time to myself.”I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”
In my family we all say “I love you” a lot.While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth of feelings at that moment,and it is almost like a blessing we give each other. Those three little words carry a world of meaning,even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love.
小題1:The foreign teacher _________.
A.comes from AmericaB.is a young woman
C.is expressive enoughD.knows much about China
小題2:Chinese students prefer to show love by __________.

A.She is meeting her daughter at the door.
B.She loves her daughter and misses her.
C.She is glad that she has more time to herself.
D.She finds it interesting to hug her daughter.
小題4:In paragraph 5, what can we know from the sentence “ In my family we all say ‘I love you’ a lot” ?
A.“I love you.” is a daily greeting.
B.“ Love” is the most important word in our country.
C.They worry about each other.
D.“I love you” are the last words we say or hear from those we love.
小題5:What's the main idea of the passage?
