Ⅲ.阅读理解
Although I started learning English during my college years，when I entered the States，I only understood two English words “Yes” and “No”．We learned many grammar rules but we could not make the language connections to the real English
nguage frustration worries almost all first generation immigrants.For example，I got a letter from a Chinese­American who has lived in the States for a long time and has a good IT job saying “My 11­year­old girl writes quite well，but as her parents，we could not even read her article.”In addition，my Chinese­American professor friend has difficulty reading a novel.Improving our English skills has become a long journey for all of us.Honestly，if I have a chance，I really want to reach out to everyone in the world who has had a similar experience：learning a second language in adulthood.I wish I could encourage them to speak out about the culture shock，frustration they felt about the differences between West and East.
I have mainly focused on my English writing since 2008 after I found “Literacy Volunteers”，an organization that specially focuses on helping immigrants improve their English.I decided to challenge myself，writing a story like an American.I saw many wonderful Americans there.As soon as I met my teacher Alice，I asked her to be my private language tutor and have taken Tims English class.Every week Alice and I have worked on my English essays sentence by sentence.
To observe the culture differences between West and East，occasionally，I posted a few of my English essays online.I mentioned previously about American culture; when people read the same article or even face the same situation，American and Chinese act very differently.In my viewpoint，these differences make America the strongest country in the world.I know you have the right to express your own opinions，but accusing others without proof is not acceptable.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。

作者虽然在大学期间学了几年英语，但由于没有注重口语，以至于到了美国发现只能听懂“Yes”和“No”。

类似的情况还发生在很多移民到美国的中国人身上。

1．The purpose of the passage is________.
A．to show how hard a Chinese­American lives in
America
B．to share her experience of improving her English
C．to imply grammar rules are not important
D．to warn Chinese­Americans of English
【解析】主旨大意题。

作者在文中简述了初到美国时自己的英语水平以及她如何提高自己的英语水平，故B符合题意。

【答案】 B
2．If the author had a good master of English，________.
A．she would open a school for Chinese­Americans
B．she would like to hear the differences
spoken out
C．she could lend a hand to the children for learning
D．she might earn some money by giving advice
【解析】细节理解题。

在第一段的尾句，作者用了“I wish I could...”的虚拟语气结构，表明如果有能力，她愿意……故B与该句意义相符。

【答案】 B
3．In the passage，“Literacy Volunteers” is________.
A．only intended to help the Chinese­Americans
B．an organization which is set up to make a profit
C．of great use to people like the author
D．a school showing how to enjoy literature
【解析】细节理解题。

根据文章第二段的“that specially focuses on helping immigrants improve their English”可知，该组织是为了帮助移民提高英语水平，因为作者是移民，故C正确。

A．Americans and Chinese are of the same idea about something
B．culture shock only exists between Chinese and
Americans
C．accusing others freely can be acceptable in America

【解析】推理判断题。

在尾段中，作者讲述了中美文化的差异，正是这种差异使美国成为一个强国，由此推断对人们有着重大的影响，故选D。

误解分析：文化差异不仅仅只影响中美的国民，故排出B；根据最后一段的内容，排除A项；作者讲到没有证据的指控他人是不可接受的，故排除C项。

【答案】 D
