When Faith Wan jiku graduated from the Technical University of Kenya last year, she immediately enrolled (注册) at the Confucius Institute in Kenyatta University. She wanted to learn Chinese，as she believed that it would help her land a good job.
She has just completed the Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (HSK) 3 exam. HSK is a test of Chinese language level for non-native speakers, organized by the Confucius Institute Headquarters.
However，this level isn't enough for Wanjiku，who plans to pass HSK 6. She wanted to increase her level or Chinese and improve her spoken Chinese. And Wanjiku isn’t alone. The number of people taking the HSK reached 6.8 million in 2018 and went up 4.6 percent from a year earlier, the Ministry of Education said on May 31.
Chinese is becoming an increasingly popular choice of language to study around the world. Currently， middle school students in Russia can take Chinese as an elective languages test in the country’s national college entrance exam, Sputnik News reported.
In May，Zambia became the fourth country in Africa- after Kenya, Uganda and South Africa – to introduce Chinese languages to its schools.
Behind the growing popularity of Chinese language leaning is the international community’s positive attitude toward China’s future developments, as well as the peoples longing to learn about Chinese civilization and culture.
Indeed，it’s as the former president of South Africa Nelson Mandela put it，“if you talk to a man in a langrage he understands，that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his in language，that goes to his heart.”

Wanjiku想学习中文为例，来说明汉语在全球的影响。
【1题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段中的“HSK is a test of Chinese language level for non-native speakers, organized by the Confucius Institute Headquarters.” HSK是由孔子学院总部组织的针对非母语人士的汉语水平测试。可知，汉语水平考试是一项针对非母语人士的考试。故选A。
【3题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段中However，this level isn't enough for Wanjiku，who plans to pass HSK 6. （然而，对于打算通过HSK六级考试的Wanjiku来说，这个水平还不够。）和 “The number of people taking the HSK reached 6.8 million in 2018 and went up 4.6 percent from a year earlier, the Ministry of Education said on May 31.” （教育部5月31日表示，2018年，参加HSK的人数达到680万人，比上年同期增长4.6%。）由此可推断出划线句子“And Wanjiku isn’t alone”的意思是与Wanjiku有同样想法的人不止一个，即有很多人都想通过HSK六级考试，故选B。
