七、阅读理解（共13小题；共26分）
A
I never forget my mother is a strong woman. She came to America when she was 12—old enough to remember her language. She achieved scores and grades high enough to be admitted to Duke University. With a degree in computer science, she finally became the manager of a company in New York. My mother could give fluent speeches, saying "wolves" correctly.
It was my mother who always stressed the importance of language. From the time I was born, I was read to. I would fall asleep to the sounds of my parents' voices, whether it was my dad's softly accented, or my mother's clear English. The flow of language was unbroken, and whether in Chinese or English, the stream of communication flowed through our house. One October morning in the sixth grade, after my mother had left to catch the train to the city, I left the house for the bus stop. I was surprised when I saw our car, the door hanging open. As I drew closer, I saw my mother lying on the ground.
In the hospital, it was hard to believe that the lady who lay before me was my mom. My mother could not remember my name. As the leaves changed colors, it became clear that the stroke(中风) had created a wall between my mother's mind and mouth; her mind was not any less clear, but the words she said were not what she meant.
The battle my mother faced taught me the importance of language. Without it, identity does not exist; relationships cannot be formed; stories cannot be told; directions cannot be given, and knowing anything about anyone is impossible. Without language, communication cannot take place. Without
language, one cannot express the beauty of a sunset or the kindness of a stranger. The world would pass us by in silence.
86. What can we know from the second paragraph?
A. The author was taught to read since she was born.
B. The author's father spoke English well.
C. The author couldn't fall asleep without being read to.
D. The author's parents taught her language by talking a lot.
87. According to the last two paragraphs, what was the author's mom unable to do?
A. Think clearly.
B. Express herself well.
C. Speak.
D. Open her mouth.
88. What is this passage mainly about?
A. A strong mother.
B. The importance of teaching language.
C. A family disaster.
D. The significance of language.
B
Learning another language isn't easy, but most people can learn a second language well if they're willing to put in the necessary time. Here are some practical suggestions for studying effectively, overcoming anxiety, and learning the grammar and skills necessary for success in foreign language classes.
Study everyday
Language learning is cumulative: you cannot put it off until the weekend. Study one or two hours for every class hour if you want a good mark.
Distribute(分配) your study time in 15 to 30 minutes period throughout the day.
Study a different task each time: vocabulary now, grammar next, etc. Get an overview during the first half hour: spend 10 minutes reviewing dialog, 10 minutes learning new vocabulary, 10 minutes learning new grammar. So you'll at least have looked at it all. About 80% of your study time should be spend on recitation(背诵) or practice.
Attend and participate(参与) in every class—even if you aren't well prepared
Class time is your best opportunity to practice. Learn the grammar and vocabulary outside of class in order to make full use of the class time. Spend a few minutes "warming up" before each class by speaking or reading the language.
Make yourself comfortable in the classroom
Get to know your classmates, so you'll feel you're among friends. Visit your teacher during office hours to get acquainted(熟悉的): explain your goals and fears about the course to your teacher.
Learn grammar if you don't already know it
Grammar is the skeleton(骨架) and the basic structure of a language, and you must learn it.
Practice for tests by doing what you'll have to do on the test
If the test will require you to write, then study by writing—including spelling and accents. If you're asked to listen, practice listening. Ask for practice questions and make up your own test questions. Try to invent changes on patterns and forms. Over learning is also required in tests preparation: study beyond the paints of recognition to mastery.
Develop a good attitude
Have a clear personal reason for taking the class. Set personal goals for what you want to learn. Leave perfectionism at the door; give yourself permission to make mistakes and learn from them.
89. What does the underlined word "cumulative" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Process of gaining knowledge or skill by doing and seeing things.
B. Having to do with comparison.
C. Having ability to do what is needed.
D. Increasing in amount by one addition after another.
90. A good learner is one who according to the passage.
A. never permits himself to make mistakes
B. can learn something from the mistakes he makes
C. follows the goals that other persons set for themselves
D. can get to know his classmates and doesn't take his teachers' advice
91. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Tips on Studying a Foreign Language
B. Advice on How to Learn Grammar
C. Suggestions for Studying Vocabulary Effectively
D. How to Make Yourself Comfortable in the Classroom
C
One of the latest trend(趋势) in American Childcare is Chinese au pairs. Au Pair in Stamford, Conn., for example, has got increasing numbers of request for Chinese au pairs from zero to around 4,000 since 2004. And that's true all across the country.
"I thought it would be useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age," Joseph Stocke, the managing director of a company, says of his 2-year-old son. "I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future." After only six months of being cared by 25-year-old woman from China, the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions, his dad says.
Li Drake, a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband, had another reason for looking for an au pair from China. She didn't want her children to "miss out on their roots". Because I am Chinese, my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to (接触) the language and culture," she says.
"Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom," says Suzanne Flynn, a professor in language education of children. "But parents must understand that just one year with au pair is unlikely to produce wonders. Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12."
The popularity of au pairs from China has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children to learn Chinese. It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years.
92. What does the term "au pair" in the text mean?
A. A mother raising her children on her own.
B. A child learning a foreign language at home.
C. A professor in language education of children.
D. A young foreign woman taking care of children.
93. Li Drake has her children study Chinese because she wants them .
A. to live in China some day
B. to speak the language at home
C. to catch up with other children
D. to learn about the Chinese culture
94. What can we infer from the text?
A. Learning Chinese is becoming popular in America.
B. Educated woman do better in looking after children.
C. Chinese au pairs need to improve their English skills.
D. Children can learn a foreign language well in six months.
D
The Americans and British use different greetings. In the USA the commonest greeting is "Hi". In Britain it is "Hello!" or "How are you?". "Hi!" is creeping into (不知不觉地进入) British, too. When they are introduced to someone, the Americans say, "Glad to know you." The British say, "How do you do?" or "Pleased to meet you." When Americans say "Good-bye", they nearly always add, "Have a good day," or "Have a good trip," etc. to friends and strangers alike. Britains are beginning to use "Have a good day."
The British usually use "have got" in the sense of "have". The Americans hardly ever do.
Am. E:
--- Do you have a car, room, etc.?
--- Yes, I do.
Br. E:
--- Have you got a car, room, etc.?
--- Yes, I have.
There are a number of differences between American English and British English in the spelling of words, for example, check (US) / cheque (UK); center (US) / centre (UK). Many American English words ending in "or" such as honor, vigor, labor are spelt in British English with an "our" like honour, vigour, labour. Many verbs in American English with "ize" or "izing" forms such as organize, realizing are spelt in British English with "ise" or "ising" like organise, realising. In American English, "practice" is used as both a verb and a noun. In British English, the verb is spelt "practise", and the
noun "practice". And in the main, American English avoids the doubling up of consonants(辅音字母) in nouns and verbs while British English does not. In American English, for example, one writes "travel, traveled, traveling, traveler" while in British English one writes "travel, travelled, travelling, traveller".
It was once predicted(预测) that British English and American English would become separate languages finally. But the opposite has happened. The links between the two countries are so strong that linguistically(语言上), and probably culturally too, they are closer together than ever.
95. The Americans hardly say
A. Good-bye, have a good day!
B. Glad to know you!
C. Hi!
D. Have you got a car?
96. An Englishman writes .
A. cheque; center
B. honor; organise
C. traveled; practice
D. labour; traveller
97. What does the third paragraph talk about?
A. There are lots of differences in spelling between Am. E and Br. E.
B. Why the Americans and the British use different spellings.
C. There are few differences in spelling between Am. E and Br. E.
D. The different usages of words in Am. E and Br.
E.
98. What is the passage mainly talking about?
A. British English and American English would become separate languages finally.
B. The differences between British English and American English in every way.
C. The differences between British English and American English in greetings and spellings.
D. British English and American English are closer together than ever.
