Question

    Chinese-language teacher Xie Fang is excited that one of her former students from Indonesia has been admitted to Beijing Language and Culture University. The 19-year-old student, Alivin Rizqi Adrian, achieved his dream of studying in China with a scholarship provided by the Chinese government.

Xie met the boy five years ago when she was selected to teach Chinese at Budi Utama Three Languages National School in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The school, founded in 2006 by local Chinese, teaches in three languages — Indonesian, English and Chinese. The school has more than 970 primary, middle and high students, half of whom have Chinese ancestry.

Xie taught students to speak and comprehend Chinese during her year at the school. “Most Indonesian children start to learn Chinese after they enter primary school,” Xie said. “But the textbooks from Singapore seemed relatively difficult for them at that stage.” Xie modified the content of the textbooks to make it easier and more interesting for the Indonesian children to learn Chinese.

One student in particular, Alvin Rizqi Adrian, impressed Xie a great deal. “At that time, he was a middle school student. He was so interested in Chinese that he worked very hard to learn and practice,” she said. Since 2004, Guangdong has sent 1,000 Chinese teachers to more than 30 Chinese schools in 10 countries and regions.

Indonseria has the largest number of Chinese teachers sent form Guangdong, who mainly work in kindergartens, schools and universities founded by overseas Chinese. They usually spend one to two years on the foreign assignment. “Those days in Chinese that he worked very hard to learn and practice,” she said.

2.词义猜测题。前句But the textbooks from Singapore seemed relatively difficult for them at that stage.提到“新加坡的教材相对较难”而后文to make it easier and more interesting for the Indonesian children to learn Chinese提到“印尼孩子学习汉语变得更容易、更有趣”因此推断是因为谢老师对教材做了修改。综合分析，故选B项。

3.推理判断题。根据第4段One student in particular, Alvin Rizqi Adrian, impressed Xie a great deal. “At that time, he was a middle school student.
