28、e talk.B.His perfect pronunciation of Mandarin.C.His success in speaking Chinese for half an hour. D.His passion for promoting Chinese Mandarin.解析：听力原文 Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg recently surprised Chinese students when he spoke to them in Chinese. In a talk at Tsinghua University in Beijing,
29、Zuckerberg spoke Chinese for about 30 minutes. Although his Mandarin was far from perfect, students and faculty cheered his effort. Zuckerberg“s talk raises a larger question: is Chinese the language of the future? Could it replace English as the world“s international language? Mandarin Chinese alre
30、ady has the most native speakers of any language. And, China may soon surpass the United States as the world“s largest economy. The study of the Chinese language is increasing in the United States and around the world. This year, about 60,000 American college students were studying Chinese. That is
31、three times as many as in twenty years ago. A small but growing number of American parents are even sending their children to bilingual Chinese immersion schools. They think knowing Chinese could give their children a competitive advantage. Clayton Dube, the head of the U.S.-China Institute at the U
32、niversity of Southern California, thinks Chinese will grow in importance, especially for people who want to work and do business in China. But he does not think Chinese will overtake English any time soon. “As China rises, you can anticipate that more people will adopt the language. But is Chinese g
33、oing to replace English? I don“t think socertainly not in my lifetime, probably not in the next two, three, or four generations.“ English rose to prominence through the British Empire in the nineteenth century. American dominance in the twentieth century spread the language even further. Dube says A
34、merican pop culture is one reason for English“s popularity as a foreign language. “American movies, music, television, video games have wide audiences. So far China“s success in this realm has been very limited. Chinese films, Chinese television shows, and Chinese music don“t have a huge following o
35、utside of China.“ Chinese is also a more difficult language to learn. The U.S. Foreign Service Institute estimates it would take a native English speaker 2,200 hours to reach professional fluency in Chinese. That is four times longer than it would take to reach the same level in Dutch, French, or Sp
36、anish. While Chinese grammar is much simpler, Chinese has a tone and writing system that is more difficult for adult learners to master.

37、grants or the children of immigrants. For most Americans, Britons, and Australians, learning a foreign language is a choice, not a necessity. China Daily estimates that 400 million Chinese are studying English. That means China has more English learners than the U.S. has English speakers. In Mark Zu
38、ckerberg“s talk at Tsinghua University, what surprised the students? 解析 录音开头提到，脸书创始人马克扎克伯格向中国学生说起了汉语，这令他们很吃惊(surprised)。最近在北京清华大学的讲话中，扎克伯格讲了近 30 分钟的汉语，由上述内容可知 C 项“他成功地说了半小时的汉语”正确。A 项“他努力地准备演讲”未在录音中提到。录音提到他的汉语远非完美(far from perfect)，因此 B 项“他完美的普通话发音”错误。D 项“他推广汉语普通话的热情”没有在录音中提到。A.Now more American pare
39、nts are doing so.B.More American college students study Chinese.C.China has become the world“s largest economy.D.Chinese could help their children in the competition. 解析：听力原文 Why are some American parents sending their children to learn Chinese? 解析 录音提到，有些美国父母们甚至将孩子送到双语中文浸入式学校，他们认为懂汉语能为他们的孩子带来竞争优势(g
40、ive their children a competitive advantage)。因此 D 项“汉语对孩子的竞争有帮助”为正确答案。A 项“现在更多美国父母这样做”符合事实，但这只是说明了趋势，并不能体现父母这样做的原因。B 项“更多的美国大学生学习汉语”也是录音提到的一种现象，也不是原因。C 项“中国已成为世界最大的经济体”时态不对，录音原文是说中国很快(soon)会成为世界最大的经济体，说的是将来的情况。A.The British Empire in the 19th century.B.The wide-spread American pop culture. C.American
41、 dominance in the 20th century.D.The great difficulty in learning Chinese.解析：听力原文 What increases English“s popularity according to Clayton Dube? 解析 Dube 说美国流行文化(American pop culture)是英语作为一门外语得以流行的原因之一，因此 B项“广泛传播的美国流行文化”为正确答案。A 项“19 世纪的大英帝国”和 C 项“美国在 20 世纪的主导地位”是英语得以传播的原因，但不是 Dube 的观点。D 项“学习汉语的巨大困难”利
42、用了录音后面关于“汉语学习很困难”的细节说明来设置于扰项，这与英语的流行无关。A.People can choose to do it or not to do it. B.Immigrants are relatively good at doing it.C.It is quite necessary and essential to do so.D.It requires a lot of hard work and energy.解析：听力原文 What do most Americans, Britons and Australians think of learning a for
43、eign language? 解析 录音最后提到，对大多数美国人、英国人和澳大利亚人来说，学习外语是一种选择，而不是必要的(a choice，not a necessity)。因此 A 项“人们可以选择做或者不做这件事”为正确答案。录音有提到移民或移民的后代大多数会多种语言，但这是由于家庭条件促成的，但不代表他们就“更擅长学外语”，故 B 项错误。C 项“这样做非常必要，也非常关键”与他们的观点“不是必要的”相反。D 项“它需要很多精力和努力”利用了录音关于学习中文费时费力这一信息设置干扰项，与问题没有关系。Now listen to the following recording and a
44、nswer questions 20 to 22. （分数：12.00）A.Most of the new employees in McKinsey & Co. graduate from it.

47、s. The MBA has become the symbol of power and wealth, and is the degree that numerous people, both in America and all over the world, dream of or rather desire. HBS is the founder of MBA and there is a legend about it. The United States was an agricultural society for the most part of the 19th centu
48、ry. Many people, represented by President Thomas Jefferson, were suspicious of industry and big business. They believed that an agricultural society in which people were hard-working, self-reliant, and honest, was the best form of society for the United States, while big business would weaken this A
49、merican spirit. Therefore, when Harvard University proposed to found a business school, there was a bitter quarrel over it. Finally, Harvard University found an ingenious way. In 1908,I-IBS was founded as a graduate school, and did not enroll undergraduates. Students must obtain a bachelor degree before applying for HBS. In doing so, HBS is not only different from other business schools, but stands at a higher level. As a result, HBS becomes the first graduate school in America which can grant an MBA degree. HBS is the cradle of the cas
