y arrived in California, I’ve been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” English. But I feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than “broken”, as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness. I’ve heard other terms used, “l(fā)imited English,” for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including people’s perceptions(認(rèn)識(shí))of the limited English speaker.I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother’s “l(fā)imited” English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that 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.I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I won’t get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as “broken”, and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal(內(nèi)在的) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure. I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show: her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.28. By saying “Language is the tool of my trade”, the author means that ______.A. she uses English in foreign trade B. she is fascinated by languagesC. she works as a translator D. she is a writer by profession29. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?A. Americans do not understand broken Eng

lish.B. The author’s mother was not respected sometimes.C. The author’ mother had positive influence on her.D. Broken English always reflects imperfect thoughts.30. The author gradually realizes her mother’s English is _____.A. well structured B. in the old style C. rich in meaning D. easy to translate31. What is the passage mainly about?A. The changes of the author’s attitude to her mother’s English.B. The limitation of the author’s perception of her mother.C. The author’s misunderstanding of “l(fā)imited” English.D. The author’s experiences of using broken English.DThroughout the history of the arts, the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists. No matter what objects they select, artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change---to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before.Landscape (風(fēng)景) is another unchanging element of art. It can be found from ancient times through the17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists. In the 1970s Alfred Leslie, one of the new American realists, continued this practice. Leslie sought out the same place where ThomasCole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before. Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature, Leslie paints what he actually sees. In his paintings, there is no particular change in emotion, and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background. He also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography to help both the eye and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom.Besides, all art begs the age-old question: What is real? Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another. The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and the Cro-Magnon

cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests. To sum up, understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods.Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant. Past or present, Eastern or Western, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience. Many and different are the faces ofart, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings.32. The underlined word “poetry” most probably means ________ .A. an object for artistic creation B. a collection of poemsC. an unusual quality D. a natural scene33. Leslie’s paintings are extraordinary because ___________.A. they are close in style to works in ancient timesB. they look like works by 19th-century paintersC. they draw attention to common things in lifeD. they depend heavily on color photography34. What is the author’s opinion of artistic reality?A. It will not be found in future works of art. B. It does not have a long-lasting standard.C. It is expressed in a fixed artistic form. D. It is lacking in modern works of art.35. Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?A. History of the arts. B. Use of modern technology in the arts.C. New developments in the arts. D. Basic questions of the arts.第二節(jié) 七選五補(bǔ)全短文 (共5小題，每小題2分，滿分10分) （請(qǐng)將答案寫(xiě)到II卷上，否則不給分！）根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier（收銀臺(tái)）in her general store. 36_I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying “thank you.”At first I was paid in candy. 37 I worked every day after school, and during the summer and on weekends and holidays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. My father helped me set up a bank account. 38By the time I was 12, my grandmother thought I had done such a good job that she promoted me to selling cosmetics（化妝品）I developed the ability to look customers dir

For example, if a student wonders what teaching is like, he or she can choose to work in an elementary school classroom a few afternoons each month.52 there are many benefits, opponents 53 problems with the new requirement. First, they__54 that the main reason students go to school is to learn core subjects and skills. Because service learning is time-consuming, students spend 55 time studying the core subjects. Second, they believe that forcing students to work without 56 goes against the law. By requiring service, the school takes away an individual’s freedom to choose.In my view, service learning is a great way to 57 to the community, learn new skills, and explore different careers. 58 , I don’t believe you should force people to help others ? the 59 to help must come from the heart.

There is 1 African proverb that says, “Until a son is old enough, he will not bother 2 (ask) what killed his father in order to take revenge.” The ceremony demonstrated that China has come of age and can no longer be ignored by the rest of the world.No 3 (few) than 17 countries sent a total of 1,000 troops to take part in the parade, joining 12,000Chinese troops in Tian’anmen Square.
