第一节 阅读理解（共15小题；每小2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
When I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, And at restaurants did not take her seriously ,did not give her good service ,pretended not to Understand her ,or even acted as if they did not hear her.
My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she . I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人).I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs.Tan.”
And my mother was standing beside me ,whispering loudly, “Why he don’t send me cheek already two week lone.”
And then , in perfect English I said : “I’m getting rather concerned .You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.”
Then she talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t tolerate any more excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately , I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”
The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs.Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.
When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.
41.Why was the author’s mother poorly served?
A.She was unable to speak good English.
B.She was often misunderstood.
C.She was not clearly heard.
D.She was not very polite.

Years ago，l lived in a building in a large city． The building next door was only a few feet away from mine． There was a woman who lived there，whom I had never met，yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon，sewing or reading．

One bright morning I decided to clean my flat，including washing the window on the inside．Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning，l sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest． What a surprise! Across the way， the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible． Her window was clean!
Then it dawned on me．l had been criticizing(批评) her dirty window，but all the time I ．was watching hers through my own dirty window．
That was quite an important lesson for me． How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart，through my own shortcomings? Since then，whenever I wanted to judge(评判) someone，l asked myself first，"Am 1 100-king at him through my own dirty window?"Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly．

第6题：
I've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat writing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the more wonderful thing in the world. Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother."But the desk," she'd said again, "it's for Elizaheth."
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in acdou. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened.And a gulf opened between us. I was "too emotional". But she lived "on the surface".
As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she ebose that she did forgive me. I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came. My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace-it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and l could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told, as she'd never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside--a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times. Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
The passage shows that _______A.mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter
B.mother was too serious about everything her daughter had done
C.mother cared much about her daughter in words
D.mother wrote to her daughter in careful words答案：A解析：由第二段最后一句“But she lived‘onthe surface”’和全文内容可知．作者的母亲表面上很冷漠，但心里充满了对作者的爱，正确答案是A。 -

第9题：
When I was about 12 1 had an enemy,a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings．Week by week her list grew:I was skinny,I wasn't a good student,I was boyish,I talked too loud,and so on．I put up with her as long as I could．At last,with great anger,I ran to my father in tears.
He listened to my outburst quietly．Then he asked,"Are the things she says true or not?"
True?I wanted to know how to strike back．What did truth have to do with it?
"Mary,didn't you ever wonder what you are really like?Well,you now have that girl's opinion．Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true．Pay no attention to the other things she said."
I did as he directed and discovered to my surprise that about half the things were true．Some of them I couldn't change(like being skinny),but a good number I could and suddenly wanted to change．
For the first time in my life I got a fairly clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy．He refused to take it.
"That's just for you,"he said．"You know better than anybody else the truth about yourself,once you hear it．But you've got to learn to listen,not to close your ears in anger or hurt．When something said about you is true you'll know it．You'll find that it will echo inside you."
Daddy's advice has returned to me at many important moments．

It was the first snow of winter – an exciting day for every child but not for most teachers. Up until now, I had been old enough to dress myself, but today I would need some help. Miss Finlayson, my kindergarten teacher, had been through first snow days many times, but I think she may still remember this one.
I managed to get into my wool snow trousers. But I struggled with my jacket because it didn’t fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes. At least my hat and scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty. Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots（靴子）.
In her calm, motherly voice she said, “By the end of winter, you will all be able to put on your own boots.” I didn’t realize at the time that this was more a statement of hope than of confidence（信心）.
I handed her my boots and stuck out my foot. Like most children, I expected grown-ups to do all the work. After much pushing, she managed to get the first one into place and then, with a sigh, worked the second one on too.
I announced, “They’re on the wrong feet.”
She struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again.
“They’re my brother’s boots, you know,” I said. “I hate them!”
Somehow, from long years of practice, she managed to act as though I wasn’t an annoying（烦人的）little girl, She pushed and pushed, less gently this time. With a greater sigh, seeing the end of her struggle with me, she asked, “Now, where are your mittens（连指手套）?”
I looked into her eyes and said, “I didn’t want to lose them, so I hid them in the toes of my boots.”

My Life at Renda
I learned very quickly that being a teaching assistant(TA)at the University of Iowa would be different from a teacher at Renmin University.______(46)Eyes staring,mouths open, students examining my big nose,hands nervous,people whispering while I wrote my name on the blackboard.
At Iowa,when my first classes began,half my students still hadn't arrived.When everyone finally found a seat,ringing cellphones and loud yawns（哈欠）interrupted my opening remarks.
It is not that American students were disrespectful.______(47)They were,however,far more skeptical than the students I had at Renda. The truth is I couldn't fault them for their skepti- cism.Undergraduates at large US universities-especially freshmen and sophomores-often have several classes a semester handled by TAs.In some.cases,the TA sets the course content. ______(48)Most have good intentions,but only a few are as effective as flesh-and-blood pro-fessors.
Every teacher has to confront obstacles to learning-no matter what the culture.Students who talk during lectures,students who cheat,students who question the grade they get for a paper or project-dealing with these is all part of the job.______(49)
The difference,I think,is that in the US I had to swallow more of my pride.______(50) I had a responsibility to teach them,of course,but I had to do so indirectly-as a guide who himself had a few things to learn from the students.______(50)
A: Back at Renda,I had walked into my first classes feeling like a celebrity.
B: In my students' minds,I had little to offer them,except perhaps some sample questions for the mid-term exam.
C: In others,the TA works as a grader and discussion leader.
D: I encountered these in China,and I faced them in the US.
E: On the other hand,being taught by a graduate student is not necessarily bad.
F: Most were polite,or at least,indifferent.答案：B解析：文章的第一段说在爱荷华大学做助教和在人民大学任教是不一样的。第二段讲了作者第一次进人大的课堂面对中国学生时的情景，感觉自己好像是个名人（celebrity)。
前两句讲了美国学生的一些表现：上课迟到、老师开始讲课时手机铃声响起、打哈欠等，似乎对老师不很尊敬。但作者认为美国学生并非对老师不尊敬，大多数人还是很有礼貌的，如果说他们对教师缺少敬意的话，他们至少也不会不尊重教师。
前面一句有In some cases，后面一句很自然地会出现In others...。
如果说第二段和第三段分别讲了中国和美国学生的不同的话，这一段则谈到了他们的共同点。作者先提了一些现象，最后说这些现象在中国和美国他都遇到过。
前一句讲在美国作为一名助教他得把“自豪感咽下去一点”，即不能把自己看得太高。为什么呢？ 下面一句作了解释：因为在他学生的眼里，除了给他们提供一些期中考试的样题，他没有什么可以给他们的。 -
第21题：
When I was about 12 1 had an enemy,a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings．Week by week her list grew:I was skinny,I wasn't a good student,I was boyish,I talked too loud,and so on．I put up with her as long as I could．At last,with great anger,I ran to my father in tears.
He listened to my outburst quietly．Then he asked,"Are the things she says true or not?"
True?I wanted to know how to strike back．What did truth have to do with it?
"Mary,didn't you ever wonder what you are really like?Well,you now have that girl's opinion．Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true．Pay no attention to the other things she said."
I did as he directed and discovered to my surprise that about half the things were true．Some of them I couldn't change(like being skinny),but a good number I could and suddenly wanted to change．
For the first time in my life I got a fairly clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy．He refused to take it.
"That's just for you,"he said．"You know better than anybody else the truth about yourself,once you hear it．But you've got to learn to listen,not to close your ears in anger or hurt．When something said about you is true you'll know it．You'll find that it will echo inside you."
Daddy's advice has returned to me at many important moments．
Why did the girl's father ask her to make the list?A.He wanted to keep the list at hom
B.He didn't know what the girl's enemy had sai
C.He wanted the girl to talk bac
D.He wanted her to check if she really had these weak point答案：D解析：参见第四段。 -
