    本文通过介绍作者在美国出生，小的时候不懂汉语，到唐人街上买鱼被嘲笑的一次经历，反映了作者对中国语言文化传承的反思。
    小题1:　当“我”三岁的时候，父母给“我”看一些卡片，上面有一些中国的汉字，但是“我”都把它们推开了。Chinese characters“汉字”，符合语境。custom“风俗”，game“游戏”，language“语言”，均太抽象，不适合用于卡片，不符合语境。
    答案　C
    小题2:由语境可知，此处为转折关系，父母将一些带汉字的卡片给“我”看，但是“我”把它们推开了。push aside“把……推向一旁”，符合语境。push ahead“向前推，推行”，push around“把……推来推去”，push along“离开”，均不符合语境。
    答案　D
    小题3:妈妈相信当“我”准备好的时候就会学的。when符合语境。
    答案　A
    小题4:由句中的but所表示的转折关系可知这个时间一直没有到来。这里指“我”准备好学习汉语的时候，与上句照应。
    答案　C
    小题5:叔叔对“我”说汉语，但是“我”能做的就是盯着他，非常迷惑，直挠头。显然stare (at)“盯着”，符合语境。
    答案　D
    小题6:“还不会说汉语啊？”他取笑“我”说，“你甚至在唐人街连条鱼都买不来。”此处是叔叔对“我”善意的嘲笑。故用laugh at“嘲笑”。care about“对……感兴趣，关心”；argue with“与……争吵”；ask after“问候，询问……的健康状况”。
    答案　B
    小题7:“嘿，这是在美国，不是中国，我现在用或不用汉语都能立马给你买来(一些鱼)。”right now“立刻，马上”，符合语境。
    答案　A
    小题8:“我”说完转向妈妈想征求她的同意。permission“允许，同意”，符合语境。decision“决定”；information“信息”；preparation“准备”。
    答案　B
    小题9:“我”重复了一下这几个字，跑下楼到了唐人街。根据语境可知“我”不会说汉语，显然应该是重复妈妈说的，故用repeat。
    答案　A
    小题10:“我”找到了那个卖鱼的摊点，有很多顾客围着。stand“售货处，摊点”，符合题意。farm“农场”；pond“池塘”；market“市场”。
    答案　B
    小题11:“我”想买些鲜鱼，但是渔夫不理会“我”说的英语，转而去招呼下一位顾客。ignore“忽视，不顾，不理”，符合语境。guess“猜想”；forget“忘记”；doubt“怀疑”。
    答案　D
    小题12:后面的人的笑声随着他们的不耐烦而增加。with随着，符合语境。
    答案　C
    小题13:随着时间一秒秒的过去，“我”背上龙的气息越来越强烈——“我”的血液沸腾了——迫使“我”大叫起来。second“秒，瞬间”，符合语境。effort“努力”；desire“欲望”；movement“运动”。
    答案　A
    小题14:由语境可知，应选forcing“迫使，强迫”。allow“允许”；persuade“说服”；lead“领导”。
    答案　A
    小题15:大家突然都大笑起来，“我”的脸红了，两手空空跑回了家。根据上下文可知D项符合语境。
    答案　D
    小题16:“我”没有买到鱼，只有兜里紧攥着的那20美元的钞票。empty?handed“空手的”，符合语境。open?mouthed“目瞪口呆的，吃惊的”；tongue?tied“发音不清的，结结巴巴的”；broken?hearted“伤心的”。
    答案　C
    小题17:他们是华人，“我”也是，“我”应该感到很自在的，相反，“我”却成了嘲笑的对象，一个给这门语言丢脸的人。feel at home“感觉自在”，符合语境。
    答案　B
    小题18:有时“我”也嘲笑自己那次买鱼的事。incident“发生的事，小插曲”，符合语境。trade“贸易”；deed“行为”；challenge“挑战”。
    答案　D
    小题19:但是，最终玩笑开到自己身上了。
    答案　C
    小题20:每次嘲笑都是文化的缺失，每次嘲笑都是“我”身上民族传统的消失。
    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(掷) 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)
    小题1:What did the author’s classmates think about his report?
    A．Controversial.B．Ridiculous.
    C．Boring.D．Puzzling.
    小题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.
    小题3:The underlined word “burning” in Para.3 probably means “________”．
    A．annoyedB．ashamed
    C．readyD．eager
    小题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 (不稳定的) 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.
    小题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.
    小题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.
    小题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.
    小题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 (同类的) 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.
    小题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.
    小题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.
    小题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
    小题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.
    小题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.”  
    小题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.
    小题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
    小题3:How old was Mrs Albina when the Albinas got married?
    A．30.B．25.C．12.D．18.
    小题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.
    C．He hopes God will give them more.
    D．He lets nature take its course.

    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.
