本文通過介紹作者在美國出生，小的時候不懂漢語，到唐人街上買魚被嘲笑的一次經(jīng)歷，反映了作者對中國語言文化傳承的反思。
小題1:　當(dāng)“我”三歲的時候，父母給“我”看一些卡片，上面有一些中國的漢字，但是“我”都把它們推開了。Chinese characters“漢字”，符合語境。custom“風(fēng)俗”，game“游戲”，language“語言”，均太抽象，不適合用于卡片，不符合語境。
答案　C
小題2:由語境可知，此處為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，父母將一些帶漢字的卡片給“我”看，但是“我”把它們推開了。push aside“把……推向一旁”，符合語境。push ahead“向前推，推行”，push around“把……推來推去”，push along“離開”，均不符合語境。
答案　D
小題3:媽媽相信當(dāng)“我”準(zhǔn)備好的時候就會學(xué)的。when符合語境。
答案　A
小題4:由句中的but所表示的轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系可知這個時間一直沒有到來。這里指“我”準(zhǔn)備好學(xué)習(xí)漢語的時候，與上句照應(yīng)。
答案　C
小題5:叔叔對“我”說漢語，但是“我”能做的就是盯著他，非常迷惑，直撓頭。顯然stare (at)“盯著”，符合語境。
答案　D
小題6:“還不會說漢語�。俊彼⌒Α拔摇闭f，“你甚至在唐人街連條魚都買不來�！贝颂幨鞘迨鍖Α拔摇鄙埔獾某靶Α９视胠augh at“嘲笑”。care about“對……感興趣，關(guān)心”；argue with“與……爭吵”；ask after“問候，詢問……的健康狀況”。
答案　B
小題7:“嘿，這是在美國，不是中國，我現(xiàn)在用或不用漢語都能立馬給你買來(一些魚)。”right now“立刻，馬上”，符合語境。
答案　A
小題8:“我”說完轉(zhuǎn)向媽媽想征求她的同意。permission“允許，同意”，符合語境。decision“決定”；information“信息”；preparation“準(zhǔn)備”。
答案　B
小題9:“我”重復(fù)了一下這幾個字，跑下樓到了唐人街。根據(jù)語境可知“我”不會說漢語，顯然應(yīng)該是重復(fù)媽媽說的，故用repeat。
答案　A
小題10:“我”找到了那個賣魚的攤點(diǎn)，有很多顧客圍著。stand“售貨處，攤點(diǎn)”，符合題意。farm“農(nóng)場”；pond“池塘”；market“市場”。
答案　B
小題11:“我”想買些鮮魚，但是漁夫不理會“我”說的英語，轉(zhuǎn)而去招呼下一位顧客。ignore“忽視，不顧，不理”，符合語境。guess“猜想”；forget“忘記”；doubt“懷疑”。
答案　D
小題12:后面的人的笑聲隨著他們的不耐煩而增加。with隨著，符合語境。
答案　C
小題13:隨著時間一秒秒的過去，“我”背上龍的氣息越來越強(qiáng)烈——“我”的血液沸騰了——迫使“我”大叫起來。second“秒，瞬間”，符合語境。effort“努力”；desire“欲望”；movement“運(yùn)動”。
答案　A
小題14:由語境可知，應(yīng)選forcing“迫使，強(qiáng)迫”。allow“允許”；persuade“說服”；lead“領(lǐng)導(dǎo)”。
答案　A
小題15:大家突然都大笑起來，“我”的臉紅了，兩手空空跑回了家。根據(jù)上下文可知D項(xiàng)符合語境。
答案　D
小題16:“我”沒有買到魚，只有兜里緊攥著的那20美元的鈔票。empty?handed“空手的”，符合語境。open?mouthed“目瞪口呆的，吃驚的”；tongue?tied“發(fā)音不清的，結(jié)結(jié)巴巴的”；broken?hearted“傷心的”。
答案　C
小題17:他們是華人，“我”也是，“我”應(yīng)該感到很自在的，相反，“我”卻成了嘲笑的對象，一個給這門語言丟臉的人。feel at home“感覺自在”，符合語境。
答案　B
小題18:有時“我”也嘲笑自己那次買魚的事。incident“發(fā)生的事，小插曲”，符合語境。trade“貿(mào)易”；deed“行為”；challenge“挑戰(zhàn)”。
答案　D
小題19:但是，最終玩笑開到自己身上了。
答案　C
小題20:每次嘲笑都是文化的缺失，每次嘲笑都是“我”身上民族傳統(tǒng)的消失。
答案　B

Peanuts to This
Proudly reading my words，I glanced around the room，only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes.Confused，I glanced toward my stone­faced teacher.Having no choice，I slowly raised the report I had slaved over，hoping to hide myself.“What could be causing everyone to act this way？”
Quickly，I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task.This was the first real task I received in my new school.It seemed simple：go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington.Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country，I had never heard of that name before.As I searched the name of this fellow，it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different！One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts，while the other led some sort of army across America.I stared at the screen，wondering which one my teacher meant.I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice：flip(擲) a coin.Heads—the commander，and tails—the peanut guy.Ah！Tails，my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter，George Washington Carver.
Weeks later，standing before this unfriendly mass，I was totally lost.Oh well，I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk，burning to find out what I had done wrong.As a classmate began his report，it all became clear，“My report is on George Washington，the man who started the American Revolution.”The whole world became quiet！How could I know that she meant that George Washington?
Obviously，my grade was awful.Heartbroken but fearless，I decided to turn this around.I talked to Miss Lancelot，but she insisted：No re­dos；no new grade.I felt that the punishment was not justified，and I believed I deserved a second chance.Consequently，I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year.Ten months later，that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather，now having an entirely different conversation.I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade.Justice is sweet！      (2012·北京，B)
小題1:What did the author’s classmates think about his report?
A．Controversial.B．Ridiculous.
C．Boring.D．Puzzling.
小題2:Why was the author confused about the task?
A．He was unfamiliar with American history.
B．He followed the advice and flipped a coin.
C．He forgot his teacher’s instruction.
D．He was new at the school.
小題3:The underlined word “burning” in Para.3 probably means “________”．
A．a(chǎn)nnoyedB．a(chǎn)shamed
C．readyD．eager
小題4:In the end，the author turned things around ________.
A．by redoing his task
B．through his own efforts
C．with the help of his grandfather
D．under the guidance of his headmaster

About a year ago，if you had asked who Dinara Safina was，the answer would have been，“She is Marat Safin’s younger sister.” She was overshadowed by her wonder brother.But now she has made a name for herself：the world No.1 player in women’s tennis.
The 22­year­old Russian overtook Serena Williams of the US for top ranking on April 20.“Before，every place I go，I am Marat’s sister.Nothing else，”she told New York Times.“I always wanted to be myself，and now finally the results come，and people can know me as Dinara Safina.”
Safina has made it to two great event finals，in the 2008 French and in the 2009 Australian Open，and won a silver medal in the Beijing Olympic Games.
Clearly，family isn’t the only connection Safina and her brother share.Their DNA burns with competitive fire.Safin has held the distinction for years of being a hottempered player on court.When he lost his temper，he would smash a racket (球拍)．Safina is as emotionally explosive as her brother.A headline in the newspaper The Australian once described her as “mad as a snake”．The Sydney Morning Herald，during the Australian Open，summed up Safina’s volatile (不穩(wěn)定的) emotional state with the headline—Safina goes from basket case to top of the world.
It’s not rare for a family to have two top tennis players.Safina’s father owns a tennis academy and her mother worked as a coach.“I had no choice but to become a tennis player，but I don’t mind being a tennis player，” Safina said.
From this talented family she is also given one of her best weapons on court，her size.She is 1.82 meters tall and weighs 70kg.But it is hard work that led her to her recent success.
“I hope to prove to everyone over the coming months that I deserve the honor of being world No.1，”she said.
小題1:What is the passage mainly about?
A．How Safina came first in women’s tennis.
B．How the parents taught Safina to play tennis.
C．How her brother helped Safina play tennis.
D．How Safina beat her brother in playing tennis.
小題2:Which one of the following doesn’t contribute to Safina’s success?
A．Her hard work and strong competitiveness.
B．Her emotional explosion and volatile emotional state.
C．The fact that she is 1.82 meters tall and weighs 70kg.
D．The fact that her parents are both good tennis players.
小題3:Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Serena Williams was topped by Safina on ranking list on April 20.
B．Dinara Safina was always very confident and eager to succeed.
C．Safina was eager to become a tennis player when she was a child.
D．Marat Safin won the two finals，in the 2008 French and in the 2009 Australian Open.
小題4:What can we infer from the headline “Safina goes from basket case to top of the world”？
A．Safina wanted to top the world in tennis when she was a baby in a basket.
B．After she won the Australian Open，Dinara Safina cried.
C．Too nervous at first，Safina finally gained confidence and won.
D．Safina learnt from the basket case and finally came top of the world.

It is really a happy thing to look back on the days I spent with Jennie. We met in night school. After Jennie and I had completed the required courses, we started teaching in the same school. For a time we were just casual friends, but one day, when I was telling Jennie about my problem son, we discovered we were kindred (同類的) spirits. "He’s a difficult little character," I explained. Jennie looked thoughtful. "Maybe you’re only seeing him with your eyes." She was silent for a moment and then added softly, "It is only with the heart that one sees rightly." I stared at her. "You’re quoting (引用) that! It’s from The Little Prince, Saint-Exupery’s book for children, one of my favorites. You know it, too?" Jennie nodded. "I love it. I’ve read it so often. I’ve practically memorized it."
Now, when I think of Jennie, I recall that book because Jennie —more than anyone I know —possessed the gift of seeing with the heart.
From that moment of a treasured book shared, our friendship grew steadily. It wasn’t that I didn’t have an excellent relationship with my husband and son, but my mother had died shortly after my marriage, and I had neither sisters nor daughters. I realize, now, how I needed someone to share those little, seemingly unimportant things that add so much to life —things that must be shared to be fully appreciated.
And it was Jennie who helped me with my fourth-grade problem child. One day I was at my wit’s end. "What he needs is a good beating!" I exploded.
"He’s probably had plenty of those," Jennie said. "Maybe he just needs sincere praise for anything he does right, and a hug or two each day." I followed this suggestion, and eventually, because of Jennie, I discovered a lovable little boy.
Looking back, I have to admit that she taught me so much. The days I spent with her has become one of my happiest memories.
小題1:What does the underlined part mean in the fourth paragraph?
A．I was unsure of how to treat my son.
B．I decided to give up my job.
C．I faced financial difficulties.
D．I was very disappointed with myself.
小題2:How did the author and Jennie’s friendship grow?
A．They both were interested in children’s education.
B．They both liked a novel, The Little Prince.
C．They often chatted together about their families.
D．They both worked in the same school.
小題3:We learn from the text that __________.
A．the author has the gift of seeing with the heart
B．the author had no friends before meeting Jennie
C．the author had lost her mother before her marriage
D．the author seldom praised her son in the past
小題4:How does the author feel about her family?
A．No one listened to her seemingly unimportant things.
B．She didn’t get along well with her husband and son.
C．She once seldom spoke to her mother.
D．She felt quite lonely in her family.
小題5:The text is mainly about _________.
A．how to educate children properly
B．the fact that we should see nature differently
C．the influence of friendship in life
D．how friendship begins and develops

The Albinas married when Mr. Albina was 30, and they spent the early marriage in Argentina. Then they decided to move to Chile, which meant they had to cross the Andes Mountains. They and their 20s sons made the difficult two-week journey on horses. One night there was a terrible snow storm in the mountains, during which Mrs Albina gave birth to triplets (三胞胎), a boy and two girls.
Mrs Albina now has 30 more girls, including the twins who are 15 months old. The oldest Albina children are in their 30s and 40s. They are on their own now, but 18 of the kids still live with their parents in a two-room house. The house has electricity but no toilet or running water. Clearly, the Albinas don’t have enough money and food for the big family. Why, then, do they continue to have children?
The Albinas do not use birth control because it is against their religion. They can let other people take care of their kids, but Mrs Albina doesn’t allow it. “When we were babies,” she said, “our mother left us at an orphanage and never returned. Then a couple adopted my brothers, and I was left behind. I was heartbroken. I promised that when I became a mother I would never give my children away.”
So the Albina family continues to grow. They have so many kids that they run out of names and have to give some children the same name. There are three Susannas, three Miriams, two Estrellas, and two Soledades.
Will the family stop at 53 kids? Mr Albina is 77, and Mrs Albina is 59. “I am getting old,” she said with a smile, “and I would like God to think of me and consider my age. But if God sends more children to me, yes, there will be more.”  
小題1:What is said about the children in the Albinas in the passage?
A．Some children are raised by others.
B．God sent the children to the Albinas.
C．The children are all twins or triplets.
D．Most of the children are independent now.
小題2: It can be inferred from the passage that______.
A．Mrs Albina experienced a hard childhood
B．the Albinas would like to use birth control
C．ten kids in the family share the same name
D．the Albina family has lived in three countries
小題3:How old was Mrs Albina when the Albinas got married?
A．30.B．25.C．12.D．18.
小題4:What is the attitude of Mrs. Albina to continuing to have babies?
A．He is very positive.
B．He doesn’t want to have more.

Not long ago, few little girls imagined they could grow up to become astronauts. For years in the United States, on1y men had that opportunity . In 1983, that changed. Sally Ride made history by becoming the first American woman to travel to space.
On Monday, Ride died at the age of 61, ‘‘Sally was a national hero and a powerful role model,”President Barack Obama said in a statement. “She inspired generations of young girls to reach for the stars.”
Ride became interested in space when she was a kid. “If you asked me when I was 12 whether I wanted to be an astronaut ,I’m sure I wou1d have said yes,” she said in a 2010 interview . “ But I didn’t even think about that as a possible career.”
After studying physics in college and graduate school, Ride got her chance. She was accepted into NASA’s astronaut training program in 1978, and then chosen to be the first American female in space. In 1983, she blasted into space aboard the Challenger shuttle.“There is no amusement park ride on the Earth that even comes so close,” she said.
Ride returned to space on the Challenger a second time in1984 . Between the two missions, she spent a total of 343 hours in orbit. After that, she remained involved with the space program and also worked to share her passion for science with kids. She co-authored six science books for children , and started her own science education company.
Ride knew that she he1d a unique place in history . “ I realized how important it was for a woman to break that barrier and open the door for other women to be able to do the same exciting things that the men had been doing,” she said.
Since Ride’s historic trip, more than 40 other American women have traveled to space. They all had Ride to thank for opening the door to the final frontier.
