第一节阅读短文回答问题（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）

A

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 doesn?t send me check already two weeks long.”

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.

56. From Paragraph 2, we know that the author was .

A. good at pretending

B. rude to the stockbroker

C. ready to help her mother

D. unwilling to phone for her mother

57. After the author made the phone call, .

A. they forgave the stockbroker

B. they failed to get the check

C. they went to New York immediately

D. they spoke to their boss at once

58. What does the author think of her mother?s English now?

A. It confuses her.

B. It embarrasses her.

C. It helps her understand the world.

D. It helps her tolerate rude people.

B

American cities are similar to other cities around the world. In every country, cities reflect the values of the culture. Cities contain the very best aspects of a society: opportunities for education, employment and entertainment. They also contain the very worst parts of a society: violent crime, racial conflict and poverty. American cities are changing just as American society is changing.

After World War II city residents became wealthier more prosperous. They had more children. They needed more space. They move out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes. They bought houses in the suburb areas near a city where people live. These are areas without many offices or factories. During the 1950s the American “dream” was to have a house in the suburbs.

Now things are changing. The children of the people who left the cities in 1950s are now adults. They unlike their parents want to live in the cities. Many young professionals, doctors, lawyers and executives are moving back into the city. Many are single; others are married but often without children. They prefer the city to the suburbs because their jobs are there; they are afraid of the fuel shortage; or they just enjoy the excitement and opportunities which the city offers.

This population shift is bringing problems as well as benefits. Countless poor people must leave their apartments in the city because the owners want to sell the buildings or make apartments for sale instead of for rent. In the 1950s, many poor people did not have enough money to move to the suburbs; now many of these people do not have enough money to stay in the cities.

Only a few years ago, people thought that the older American cities were dying. Some city residents now see a bright , new future .Others see only problems and conflicts. One thing is sure：many dying cities are alive again.

59.What does the author think of cities all over the world ?

A. They are alive .

B. They are hopeless.

C. They are similar

D. They are different.

60.Why did American city residents want to live in the suburbs after World War Ⅱ?

A. Because older American cities were dying.

B. Because they were richer and needed more space.

C. Because cities contained the worst parts of society.

D. Because they could hardly afford to live in the city.

61. According to the 4th paragraph , a great many poor people in American cities -__________

A. are faced with housing problems

B. are faced to move to the suburbs

C. want to sell their buildings

D. need more money for daily expenses

62. We can conclude from the text that ____________

A. American cities are changing for the wars

B. people have different views on American cities

C. many people are now moving from American cities

D. the population is decreasing in older American cities

C

Life in 2060

Let us suppose it is now about A.D.2060.Let?s believe it is about sixty years from now. Of course things have changed and life is very different.

V oyages to the moon are being made every day. It is easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been built .The hotels are air conditioned. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of the young and old.

What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They haven?t yet started to take on their supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power, but they may some day. But many foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.

Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred ye ars ago, most of our planet?s surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pets. The harvest is always good. Farming , of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm, it is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.

People are now largely vegetarians .You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. Therefore the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes and cures of diseases and pain, and it is possible to get rid of disease. No one has to be ill any more.

Such would be our life in 2060

How to Be a Winner

Sir Steven Redgrave

Winner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals

“In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes(糖尿病). Believing my career（职业生涯）was over, I felt extremely low. Then one of the specialists said there was no reason why I should stop training and competing. That was it -the encouragement I needed. I coul d still be a winner if I believed in myself. I am not saying that it isn?t difficult sometimes. But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn't finished yet. Nothing is to stand in my way.”

Karen Pickering

Swimming World Champion

“I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. I manage that sort of workload by putting it on top of my diary. This is the key to success-you can?t follow a career in any field without being well-organized. List what you believe you can achieve. Trust yourself, write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and you?ll be a step closer to achieving them.”

Kirsten Best

Poet & Writer

“When things are getting hard, a voice inside my head tells me that I can?t achieve something. Then, there are other distractions, such as family or hobbies. The key is to concentrate. When I feel tense, it helps a lot to repeat words such as …calm?, …peace? or

…focus?, either out loud or silently in my mind. It makes me feel more in control and increases my confidence. This is a habit that can become second nature quite easily and is a powerful psychological（心理的）tool”

____72.___ Sure, you?ve heard your mother say it a hundred times, but no one likes to see a ball of masticated meat in your mouth. If you feel you must speak immediately, if you have only a relatively small bite, tuck it into your cheek with your tongue and speak briefly.

Chew quietly, and try not to slurp. Making noises is not only unappetizing, and distracting, but it can also interrupt the flow of conversation.

____75__．You don't want people to think that you are tired of their company. If you must leave the table, make your excuses somewhat obvious and appear to be pressing.

My cousin Xiao Hong and I went on trip to my uncle’s last Sunday. We were riding along a hillside then suddenly some big stones were rolled down and knocked down our bikes. Xiao Hong’s legs got serious hurt and so was mine. We could not move a bit. Fortunately, I saw some farmers ahead. Waving our hand, we cried for help like crazy.
