China has become a great political and economic superpower and they want their children to become bilingual. It is common knowledge that, to master any language, especially ones mother tongue, one must begin from childhood. But there are challenges and barriers for children of Englishspeaking homes to succeed in their journey towards bilingualism. Take my family as an example. While my wife and I are products of English education, we had some foundation in Chinese which we kept up in our working life. But the language of communication in our home is mainly English. We are glad that our three children had between 8 and 11 years Chinese schooling before switching over to English schools. Their foundation in Chinese has become an advantage in their adult life. They can hold their own in the spoken language, but would find it hard to write a business letter in Chinese for lack of usage. We have a grandson who will be two years old shortly. His parents have given us the unenviable(艰难的) task of making him bilingual. It is a very tough assignment, as we are with him only a couple of hours on most days. For the rest of the time, he is being surrounded by English sounds by his busy parents. Fortunately, our perseverance is paying off. After eight months, he has been used to hearing Chinese sounds, and even he can now quite comfortably identify common everyday objects in Chinese.【解题导语】本文介绍了很多新加坡的华人让孩子学习汉语的情况。5Why is it becoming necessary for some Chinese Singaporean children to learn Chinese? ABecause most of the Singaporeans come from China. BBecause their parents are missing their motherland. CBecause China has become a great political and economic superpower. DBecause Chinese is the official language in the UN.C解析：细节理解题。由第一段第二句可知，中国的政治和经济地位的提高，使中国在世界上起着越来越重要的作用。这是促使新加坡的华人儿童学习汉语的主要原因。6The underlined word“bilingual”in Paragraph 1 probably means “_”. Aa person who knows EnglishBa person who knows Chinese Ca person who knows only one languageDa person who knows two languagesD解析：词义猜测题。第一段第一句提到，越来越多的接受英语教育的新加坡籍华人父母意识到孩子要同时掌握英语和汉语的重要性，因此bilingual应指“会两种语言的人”。7The author uses the example of teaching his grandson mainly to prove that _. Athere are challenges for children of Englishspeaking homes to learn ChineseBhis foundation in Chinese is a big advantage in teaching his grandsonChe is quite good at teaching small children ChineseDlearning Chinese is very popular in SingaporeA解析：推理判断题。由第二段第二句可知对于一个处于英语环境的儿童，要掌握汉语需要克服很多困难和挑战。再根据第五段第三、四句可知，作者认为这是一项艰巨的任务，因为他的孙子每天大多数时间都和讲英语的父母待在一起。
