第一节 阅读理解（共15小题；每小2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
When I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, And at restaurants did not take her seriously ,did not give her good service ,pretended not to Understand her ,or even acted as if they did not hear her.
My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she . I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人).I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs.Tan.”
And my mother was standing beside me ,whispering loudly, “Why he don’t send me cheek already two week lone.”
And then , in perfect English I said : “I’m getting rather concerned .You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.”
Then she talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t tolerate any more excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately , I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”
The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs.Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.
When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.

A.She was unable to speak good English.
B.She was often misunderstood.
C.She was not clearly heard.
D.She was not very polite.

第4题：
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，回答41－45题。 I am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language—the way it can evoke(唤起) an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them all—all the Englishes I grew up with.
Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, I’ve been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” English. But feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than “broken”, as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness. I’ve heard other terms used, “limited English,” for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including people’s perceptions(认识)of the limited English speaker.
I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother’s “limited” English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is ,because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.
I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I won’t get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as “broken”, and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal(内在的) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure: I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show; her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.

BThe author's brothers and sisters were good at music and languages.
CThe author read a lot of books about the natural world and the oil industry.
DThe author spent a lot of time working on riddles.
正确答案： B解析：
细节题。A项属于无中生有，文中只提到“博物学家”是天生的，而“科学家”是后天培养的。并没有说天生的博物学家能否成为科学家。B项可以根据第一段的“Unlike them，I had no ear for music and languages，1 was not an early reader and I could not do mental enthusiastic”得出。C项属于对文章的误解。第三段的“burning the midnight oil”是“开夜车，点灯夜读”的意思，而非“石油工业”。D项迷惑性较大。它是对第三段“Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle”的误解。文章原意是作者通过大量的调查探索，会有所顿悟，故而解开谜团，而不是花大量的时间解谜。故B项为正确答案。 -

I am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language—the way it can evoke(唤起) an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them all—all the Englishes I grew up with.

第22题：
单选题Which of the following may NOT describe the character of the author’s mother?AExpressive.
BUnselfish.
CRealistic.
DTough.
正确答案： A解析：
推理题。注意题干中的关键词NOT。根据题干定位至原文描述作者母亲的部分，即第四段。该段中作者谈到自己的母亲时说到：…she set a selfless and hardy example.由此可知B和D两个选项是上述两个形容母亲性格的词的同义表达，故不能选。根据该段内容还知，母亲为了生活把作者(长子)当作自己的帮手来维持生计说明母亲是个现实的人，也排除C。并且该段的最后提到：I thirsted for my mother’s attention. … I clearly recall, at the ripe old age of 7, coming to the conclusion that I would never get it.说明作者想要得到的是母亲的关注(attention)和爱(love)，而他永远得不到这些，但这并不是说母亲不爱他，只是母亲不善于表达自己的情感，因此A选项的“善于表达的”并不是母亲的性格。本题为反选题，故正确答案为A。 -
第23题：
单选题The author’s experiences during the childhood indicate all of the following EXCEPT that _____.Athe author is the first child of the family
Bhis family led a very hard life
Chis mother gave less attention to him
Dhis mother treated him as more than an assistant
正确答案： C解析：
推理题。注意本题的关键词EXCEPT。根据题干定位至原文第四段。由本段第二句可以看出，作者是家里最年长的，A选项的说法正确，不选。从第三句母亲肩上的担子很重可以推断出家里生活艰难，B选项的说法也正确，不选。该段的第五、六句指出，作者渴望得到母亲的关心，并在第七句中进一步指出他需要了解到母亲不仅仅把他当作一个帮手和持家的小顶梁柱，他需要得到母亲的爱，但从后文得知，他并未得到这个，也可以说，在母亲眼里作者仅仅是一个维持生计的帮手，由此便可知C选项的说法正确而D选项的说法错误。本题为反选题，故正确答案为D。
