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.

41. By saying “Language is the tool of my trade”, the author means that ______.

A. she uses English in foreign trade

B. she is fascinated by languages

C. she works as a translator

D. she is a writer by profession

    M: Hey Betsy, did you hear the great news
    W: No, Frank, I haven′t. What is going on
    M: I just got a promotion, and I am going to throw huge party for all of my friends. I would loveit if you would come.
    W: Wow, thanks so much, when is the party
    M: I am thinking of having it on Saturday. I am hoping there will be 150 people there. Thisreally is a big promotion for me and my family.
    W: Wow,150 people. That is a lot. This must be a big promotion. I would love to go. I think itwould be a great time.
    M: Oh great, the more the merrier. This really is a big deal for me. We can now afford the newhouse my wife has always wanted. I just hope I don′t have to put too many hours in. I would hate tolose too much time with my family.
    W: I can understand that, but let′ s keep focusing on the bright side. I can′ t wait for that party.


    答案:
    解析:
    Teaching Contents: Listening to a dialogue about Frank ' s inviting Betsy to his party. Teaching Objectives:
    (1) Knowledge objectives
    ①Students will learn some new words or expressions, like promotion, throw a party, the more the merrier.
    ②Students will know how to invite people for parties, as well as how to react to people' s invitation.
    (2) Ability objective
    Students' listening ability for general ideas and detailed information can be improved.
    (3) Emotional objectives
    ①Students will learn to share their happiness with their friends.
    ② Students will be willing to apply their English into daily use.
    Teaching Key and Difficult Points:
    (1) Teaching key point
    Students will know how to invite people for parties and how to react towards people' s invitation.
    (2) Teaching difficult point
    ① Students ' listening ability for general ideas and detailed information can be trained.
    ② Students will make offers for their own party to their friends.
    Major Steps:
    Step 1 Warming up (3 minutes)
    I will begin the class by sharing my experience of a fantastic birthday party last week. Then I will give them 1
    minute to think about one of their unforgettable parties. And they can share it with the whole class by telling the time,the theme, the activities of that party.
    (Justification: By talking about their own parties, they will recall back some related expressions under this topic.
    And this will prepare them for the following listening.)
    Step 2 Pre-listening (5 minutes)
    I will present some new expressions first, like promotion, throw a party, the more the merrier by making up ashort paragraph--People celebrate important occasions, like weddings, promotions or birthdays. Usually they like tothrow a party to get their families and friends together and have fun. For most parties, it is the more the merrier andthat' s why people will invite a lot of people to their parties.
    (Justification: It is easier to teach the new expressions with the help of context. For example, if I tell students that"throw a party" means "have or hold a party", they will not only understand the explanation, but also get to know howto use the expression by comparing the context provided.)
    Step 3 While-listening (6 minutes)
    First, I will play the tape once. And before they are ready, I will remind them that during listening they should notpay much attention to any specific words or expressions and all they need to do is to get the main idea of it. Afterlistening, I will invite some students to tell the class what happened, and why it happened.
    Next, I will ask them to listen to the dialogue for the second time with a filling task on the blackboard.

    (Justification: Listening for the first time is to train students' listening ability for general ideas and the secondtime is to train their listening ability for detailed information.)
    Step 4 Post-listening (6 minutes)
    (1) Students need to work with their desk-mates to do the dialogue with the help of the chart on the blackboard.
    (2) Then they will be divided into groups of 4 to design a party for their parents' anniversary. They need to figureout the theme, the time, the activities and the invitation letters of this party. Two groups will be invited to share their
    ideas.
    (Justification: The first activity is for students to practice the targeted language point--how to invite people forparties and how to react to people's invitations. The second activity is to provide a chance for them to use thelanguage actively.)

    第二篇

    Lawrence Curry

    When I tell people my name,they always ask me if I'm related to Lawrence Curry,the novelist,and when I say,yes,he was my great-uncle,they always want to know what he was like. "We've read all his books,"they say,"but please tell us what he was really like."When I described him,as I knew him,they go disappointed.It seems that they find it difficult to accept such a great figure could have had such an ordinary character.
    My great-uncle was tall,with a long thin body.When he walked,he moved stiffly,with his arms clamped against his sides,looking like nothing so much as a pair of scissors.When I knew him,his hair as quite white,though it was supposed to have been yellow when he was young. His eyes were blue and deep set and had an anxious look about them as if he found the world a puzzling place.This expression of anxiety,which arose from nothing more than short-sight一he refused to wear glasses一inspire the protective instincts of his lady admirers,much to the irritation my great-aunt who thought all women were fools,except herself.
    Great-uncle Curry was naturally lazy. He spent a great deal of his time in the village pub playing darts.He was also a compulsive reader from the local telephone directory to great-aunt's shopping lists.For a man whose book showed such a deep perception of the complexities of human behavior, his conversation was surprisingly trivial.He delighted in discussing English weather,the price of beer,his grandchildren's most amusing words.
    He loved gossip,but he was kind.I never heard him make a malicious remark,but the wisdom of his writing never appeared in his conversation.As a child,we much preferred the company of his cousin,Stanly,who was a successful shop-owner who always brought us bags of sugar and broken biscuits.Taking it all in all,I have to admit my famous great-uncle was rather a bore.

    Why do people get disappointed after I gave the description of my great-uncle?
    A:They didn't believe what I told them about my great-uncle.
    B:They expected to hear something extraordinary about this great novelist.
    C:They don't like my great-uncle any more.
    D:They found they mistook my great-uncle as the famous writer Lawrence Curry.

    答案:B
    解析:
    根据文章第一段最后一句:" It seems that they find it difficult to accept such a great figure could have had such an ordinary character.”由此可以判断人们失望是因为他们很难接受这样一个伟大的人物居然是这样一个普通人,所以选B。
    第二段第五句提到:" This expression of anxiety , which arose from nothing more than short-sight",他焦虑的神情来自于他的近视,所以选C“他视力不好”。 arise在文中的意思是“起因于······,由······产生”。
    第二段第五句提到:" This expression of anxiety...inspire the protective in-stincts of his lady admirers" , inspire意为“激发”' protective instinct意为“保护的本能”。所以选 B,即让他的女性崇拜者想要保护他。
    文章的后两段指出了劳伦斯是一个天生懒惰、无聊的人,有强迫阅读症,只有D“劳伦斯是一个幽默的人”这点在全文都没有提及,所以选D。
    文章的最后一段提到:" Stanly , who...who always brought us bags of sugar and broken biscuits",小孩子更喜欢叔祖父的表兄是因为他总带给他们糖和饼干,都是孩子爱吃的东西,所以B正确。

    Time is very important in our lives.It organizes our everyday moments.However,time never had any importance in my life until I received a watch from my father that organized my life and made me more responsible.
    It came from Denmark to the U.A.E.jewelry shop in a gray box.It weighs 0.24 kilograms. It's round in the center with two silver bands that go around my wrist.And all of it is made of silver. This object tells me the importance of time in my life.
    I received this gift on a gray-sky day.I had to go to the airport at 9:00 AM to pick up my uncle Aui and take him to my father's house.However,I was late because I was hanging out with my friends.Later on that day,around 11:00 AM,I remembered my uncle,but I was very late for him. He had left the airport and taken a taxi to my father's house.
    I got to my father's house at 2:00 PM on the same day and looked at my angry father's face.I felt ashamed of myself at that moment.After I said hi to my angry father and tired uncle,my father asked me to sit next to him where he handed me this watch which was a gift from him.Then he said,"Essa,did you have fun with your friends today?"I answered, "Yes,father,and I'm sorry about not picking up my uncle Ali."He said,"What you did was not very nice and you should be sorry for your actions."I was ashamed and said,"Father,I'll never do it again.I promise."He said,"I hope today you learned something important,and this watch will be a reminder for you." He told me to take this watch and use it as an organizer of my life.
    I learned a very important lesson from my father:to respect time and never be late to get someone.This watch is important to me,not because of its price,but because of the lesson that I learned from it.

    Time was not so important in my life and I was not a very responsible person before I received a watch from my father.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:A

  • 第16题:

    If I were in a movie, then it would be about time that I______ my head in my hands for a cry.

    A bury B am burying C buried D would bury


    正确答案:C
    本题重点考查虚拟语气。句子中有两处虚拟语气,一是if ... could be ...,另外是it is time that ... 解题的关键是要判断出第二处的虚拟语气。在It is time that ... 句型中that后的从句中的动词要用过去式,所以[C]buried为正确选项。

    Time is very important in our lives.It organizes our everyday moments.However,time never had any importance in my life until I received a watch from my father that organized my life and made me more responsible.
    It came from Denmark to the U.A.E.jewelry shop in a gray box.It weighs 0.24 kilograms. It's round in the center with two silver bands that go around my wrist.And all of it is made of silver. This object tells me the importance of time in my life.
    I received this gift on a gray-sky day.I had to go to the airport at 9:00 AM to pick up my uncle Aui and take him to my father's house.However,I was late because I was hanging out with my friends.Later on that day,around 11:00 AM,I remembered my uncle,but I was very late for him. He had left the airport and taken a taxi to my father's house.
    I got to my father's house at 2:00 PM on the same day and looked at my angry father's face.I felt ashamed of myself at that moment.After I said hi to my angry father and tired uncle,my father asked me to sit next to him where he handed me this watch which was a gift from him.Then he said,"Essa,did you have fun with your friends today?"I answered, "Yes,father,and I'm sorry about not picking up my uncle Ali."He said,"What you did was not very nice and you should be sorry for your actions."I was ashamed and said,"Father,I'll never do it again.I promise."He said,"I hope today you learned something important,and this watch will be a reminder for you." He told me to take this watch and use it as an organizer of my life.
    I learned a very important lesson from my father:to respect time and never be late to get someone.This watch is important to me,not because of its price,but because of the lesson that I learned from it.

    I felt ashamed of myself and my action when I saw my angry father and tired uncle.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:A
    解析:
    根据是文中第一段第三句话:但是,以前时间在我的生命中并不重要,直到我从父亲那里收到一块手表,这块手表帮助我安排我的生活而且使我变得更加有责任感。
    根据是第二段第一句:这块丹麦制造的手表装在一只灰色盒子里,是在阿拉伯联合酋长国的一家珠宝首饰店买的。
    第三段第三句:可是因为和朋友们出去玩,我迟到了。可见作者不是因为做作业而迟到。
    根据是第四段第二句:那一刻我感到很惭愧。
    文中对此没有提到。
    依据是第四段最后一句:他让我拿走这块手表,用它来安排自己的生活。
    依据是最后一段最后一句:这块手表对我来说很重要,不是因为它价格昂贵,而是因为我从中学习到的这个道理。
