Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Many years ago，I had my first chance to visit Russia.“Russians are a very polite people，”I had been told before my arrival.One of my friends explained that a gentleman will pour the lemonade for the ladies and show other good manners.
Toward the end of my three­week trip，I was invited by my Russian friend Nicolai Vasilevich and his wife Yulya out to dinner.At the end of a wonderful meal，Yulya asked if I would like a banana.I politely declined(婉拒)and thanked her，and explained I was most satisfied with the meal.But my mind was racing：“What should I do？Should I offer her a banana though they are as close to her as they are to me？What is the polite thing to do？”
“Would you like a banana？”I asked Yulya.
“Yes，”she smiled，but didn't try to take any of the three bananas in the fruit basket.
“Which one would you like？”I asked again.
“That one，”she pointed at one of the bananas.So thinking about Russian politeness，I picked the banana Yulya had pointed at.Then I peeled it half way and handed it to her.Smiles on Yulya's and Nicolai's faces told me I had done the right thing.After this experience，I spent much time letting the world know that in Russia，the polite thing was to peel bananas for ladies.
However，sometime during my third trip I learned I was wrong.
“Oh no，David，”a Russian politely corrected me.“In Russia，when a man peels a banana for a lady，it means he has a romantic interest in her.”How embarrassed I felt.
So to communicate properly with people of different cultures，we should watch
carefully how people of the same culture communicate with each other.Besides，don't be afraid to ask questions about their culture.

Gareth Ellis，13，is the youngest son of Alan，an engineer，and Kath，a nursery teacher.His older brothers work in banking and computers，but Gareth's dream was always to become a clown (小丑)．Three years ago，Alan，Kath and Gareth joined the circus.“People laugh when we tell them，”says Kath.“But it's true.Gareth has wanted to be a clown since we took him to the circus when he was three.”
When Alan lost his job，he and Kath decided to see if they could find full time circus jobs.They both got jobs with a famous circus and Gareth began training to become a clown.He calls himself Bippo.They travel with the circus during the summer and return home for the winter.Gareth's brothers are old enough to look after the house while they are away.
“I can't say it was easy，” says Kath.“There was a lot to think about and organise.We only had a car and a very small caravan (可供居住的拖车) to sleep in，and we were leaving behind our lovely house.The only thing Gareth missed was his long，hot baths.”
“People ask about my education，”says Gareth，“but from the beginning，wherever we go，someone has always come to teach me.I follow the same books as everyone back at school and I've got a computer.I've never fallen behind my classmates.”
And the future? “It was a difficult decision，”says Kath，“but there was no other way to teach Gareth about being a clown.I'm happy to say it's working，and we're enjoying it.”And Gareth？“I'm going to be the main clown in a circus one day，” he says，“perhaps Bippo's circus.”

In France，there once lived a man named Louis Pasteur，who was a doctor of science.The thing that concerned him most was the disease rabies (狂犬病)．“I must find the rabies germs (细菌) that hide inside people and make them so sick that they die，”he thought.“Once I find them，I'll think of a way to kill them.”
Many people thought Pasteur was wasting his time.Some laughed at him and said，“You'll never do it.”
Pasteur didn't care what people thought；he believed in himself.He kept right on working.
At the same time，in Germany，a boy named Joey was about to get into trouble.He was teasing (逗弄) a dog.But this dog was sick with rabies，which made the dog mad.Unfortunately，the dog bit him.The rabies germs were passed from the dog to Joey.
Soon the little boy was very sick.His parents could only wait.But then there was news.Joey's mother saw it and shouted for joy.“A doctor of science has found
a way to save sick people like Joey！” she said.The man，of course，was Louis Pasteur.Joey's parents quickly prepared Joey for the long journey to Pads.
“Dr.Pasteur，”said the mother.“Our little boy is very sick.Can you help us？”
“Perhaps，”said Pasteur.“I've invented a vaccine (疫苗)．It is strong enough to kill the rabies germs.Joey will be the first person to have my rabies vaccine.”
“The first person？”asked Joey's worried father nervously.“Will it be dangerous？Are you sure it will work？”
“I believe it will，”said Pasteur.
Slowly the vaccine killed more and more of the rabies germs.Joey began to get well.Dr.Pasteur's vaccine was a success!
From then on no one had to be afraid of rabies anymore，and people who had laughed at him before，respected him.He is recognized as one of the world's greatest scientists.

Ⅱ.完形填空
Most people who travel from China to the US find that，despite having studied English for years，they have to “relearn” it 1 arriving.Words that we learned in English classes are not 2 the same way here.To truly be part of the “melting pot”， 3 in English is not enough.You need an accent to stand out.
When I first came to the US for graduate school，I was a 4 foreigner.I felt so out of place that I wanted to hide everything about me that was “ 5 ”．To talk like an American became one of my goals.
During my first term as a teaching assistant (TA)，my students 6 they could not understand me.I learned later from a study that this complaint was 7 among the US students with an international TA.It is called the “Oh，no！”syndrome：“Oh，no！Not another international TA，and not that 8 again！”
So I imitated (模仿) the way 9 speakers talk and，over time，I made 10 great progress that American friends started to 11 my English as having “almost no accent”．I took this as a sign of my success.Ever since，people have often 12 me for someone from many 13 ：the Midwest，the West Coast，China，Japan，South Korea.Most frequently, people think I am from California.
But then suddenly, conformity (一致) was 14 a praise：If I talk like an American，am I still Chinese？If I lose my Chinese accent，do I also lose my cultural identity？Am I denying my past by being 15 into a new culture?
Now I 16 that a person's accent is a permanent record of their past cultural experience and that it is a 17 of one's exposure to diverse cultures.
As a fourth­year student in the US，I am no longer a nervous foreigner.My
nervousness has been 18 By a desire to hold on to my cultural 19 ．Now I consciously add some Chinese “accent” when I speak.I do not wish to speak “ 20 ” English because I am proud of who I am.
【语篇解读】本文讲述了作者初到美国时追求标准的英语口语，但是后来意识到了母
语口音的特殊意义，所以作者改变初衷，在讲英语时加入了一些母语口音，以此表明自己的
文化渊源。

1．A.before B．if
C．from D．upon
D[此处考查upon的用法。

upon或on后可接名词或动词­ing形式，表示“一……就……”，其意义相当于连词as soon as。

“upon arriving”即“as soon as sb.arrives”。

] 2．A.put B．pronounced
C．used D．understood
B[从本段后文accent(口音)一词的使用以及下文的描述可以看出，作者是在讨论英
语发音的问题。

]
3．A.fluency B．sense
C．quality D．interest
A[从后文...is not enough.You need an accent to stand out.来看，作者认为，
要成为the“melting pot”(熔炉)的一部分，光凭一口流利的英语还不够，你还需要借助
口音(accent)使自己脱颖而出。

fluency“流利，流畅”；sense“感觉”；quality“质量，
品质”；interest“兴趣”。

]
4．A.nervous B．stupid
C．strange D．curious
A[从作者后文的描述“I felt so out of place...”，并结合最后一段中的“I am no longer a nervous foreigner”来看，作者初次到美国时的感觉应是“紧张”。

] 5．A.valuable B．different
C．dangerous D．foolish
B[从作者设定的目标“To talk like an American”来看，作者试图掩饰自己与别人
不一样的地方。

that was “different”作为修饰everything的定语从句，表示“与别人
不同的一切”。

]
6．plained B．whispered
C．told D．informed
A[从后文“they could not understand me”以及下文的complaint一词可推断出，作者在当助教(TA)时学生因听不懂他说的话而抱怨。

complain“抱怨”。

whisper“低语”；inform“告知”。

]
7．A.interesting B．rare
C．common D．special
C[从后文学生的抱怨“...Not another international TA...”来看，这种抱怨在由外籍助教教授的美国学生中是很普遍的。

C．popular D．famous
B[为了迎合学生的需要，作者模仿当地人说话的方式。

native“本地的，当地的”，native speakers在这里指土生土长的美国人。

]
10．A.so B．such
C．much D．many
B[根据句中的that可排除C、D两项。

such...that...和so...that...均可表示“如此……以至于……”，但用法不同。

当被修饰的词是不可数名词时，只能用“such＋adj.＋不可数名词＋that...”结构。

progress是不可数名词，可排除A。

]
11．A.praise B．encourage
C．criticise D．teach
A[结合语境“我讲的英语‘几乎没有了口音’”，以及下一段中的praise一词可确定选项。

encourage“鼓励”；criticise“批评”。

]
12．A.regarded B．mistaken
C．treated D．thought
B[mistake...for...“把……错认为是……”。

因为作者的英语口语中几乎没有了母语的口音，所以人们很难判断出他来自哪里，往往将其误认为是来自其他一些地方的人。

] 13．A.countries B．cities
C．states D．places
D[后文所列举的不仅仅是一些国家的名字，还包括一些地区，所以应选择D。

]
14．A.more than B．no longer
C．nothing but D．not as important as
B[作者忽然意识到，口音上与美国人的这种一致性对他来说不再是一种赞美。

通过对下文的理解可以看出，作者认为在母语口音消失的同时，他也失去了自己的文化特性(cultural identity)。

仅”；not as important as“不如……重要”。

通过理解句意可确定选项。

relate“与……相关”；join“连接，接合”；connect“连接”。

A[从后文来看，作者在说英语时有意识地加入一些汉语“口音”，以此来体现自己的文化渊源。

]
20．A.poor B．Chinese
C．perfect D．British

perfect“准确的，地道的”。

结合对前文的理解可排除其他选项。
