From the very beginning of our studies, we have known that many Chinese characters can change their pronunciations in different contexts(语境).
But how will you feel if you're told that many of the pronunciations we learned in textbooks will be considered incorrect?
Last month, an article titled “Chinese Characters Whose Pronunciations Have Changed” caused heated discussions online. The article claimed(声称) that some pronunciations, which were considered to have been misread before, are now correct. They include the characters in well - known sentences from ancient poems.
One example is by Du Mu from the Tang Dynasty. “I go by slanting stony path to the cold hill; Where rise white clouds, there appear cottages(村舍) and bowers(凉亭).”
Many Internet users disagreed with the changes. They argued that altering pronunciations would “change the rhyme of the sentences in poems, ruining the beauty of Chinese literature”.
According to CGTN, supporters of the change say, “This is how language advances, and the pronunciations should adapt to the needs of society, rather than remain in the past.”
An official from the Ministry of Education responded, saying that most of the so - called “new” pronunciations have not yet been confirmed. However, according to the fifth and sixth editions of the Modern Chinese Dictionary, quite a few pinyin spellings have already been changed: 呆板 (dāi, first tone, 原 ái, second tone) and 确凿 (záo, second tone, 原 zuò, fourth tone).
“In some senses, pronunciation is a choice between the most popular version and the version with the longest history,” professor Zhang Yiwu told China Daily.

答案： 1. D 细节理解题。根据第一段可知，很多汉字会在不同的语境中会改变它们的发音。故选 D。
2. A 细节理解题。根据第二段“The article claimed (声称) that some pronunciations, which were considered to have been misread before, are now correct.”可知，以前一些读错的发音现在是正确的。故选 A。
3. C 推理判断题。画线句“I go by slanting stony path to the cold hill; Where rise white clouds, there appear cottages and bowers.”中的几个关键词“stony path (石径)”、“cold hill (寒山)”、“white clouds (白云)”等可知，诗中有“石径”、“寒山”、“白云”等，由此判断这句诗是“远上寒山石径斜，白云生处有人家”。故选 C。
4. D 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段“supporters of the change say, ‘This is how language advances, and the pronunciations should adapt to the needs of society, rather than remain in the past.’ ”可知，支持者认为，发音应该适应社会的需要，而不是停留在过去。故选 D。
5. D 推理判断题。根据第七段“However, according to the fifth and sixth editions of the Modern Chinese Dictionary, quite a few pinyin spellings have already been changed: 呆板 (dāi, first tone, 原 ái, second tone) and 确凿 (záo, second tone, 原 zuò, fourth tone).”提及“呆板”和“确凿”两个词语的例子可知，作者通过举例子的方式展开第七段。故选 D。
