I am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language—the way it can evoke（唤起） an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them all—all the Englishes I grew up with.
Born into a Chinese family that had recently 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 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, “limited English,” for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including people’s perceptions（认识）of the limited English speaker.
I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother’s “limited” 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（内在的） 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.
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 languages
C. she works as a translator
D. she is a writer by profession
The author used to think of her mother’s English as ______.
A. impolite B. amusing
C. imperfect D. practical
Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?
A. Americans do not understand broken English.
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.
The author gradually realizes her mother’s English is _____.
A. well structured B. in the old style
C. easy to translate D. rich in meaning
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 “limited” English.
D. The author’s experiences of using broken English.

Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is essential to one's life. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.
But for many people, the thought of food as the first thing in the morning is never a pleasure. So in spite of all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures could be obtained, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast increased by 33%—from 8.8 million to 11.7 million—according to the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation of America.
For those who dislike eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years have shown that, for grown-ups especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect work,” said Arnold E. Bender, former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve work.”
Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better work is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not grown-ups. “The literature,” says one researcher, Dr Earnest Polite at the University of Texas, “is poor.”
1.The main idea of the passage is that _______.
|
A．breakfast has nothing to do with people's health |
|
B．a good breakfast used to be important to us |
|
C．breakfast is not as important to us as gasoline to a car |
|
D．breakfast is not as important as we thought before |
2.For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that _______.
|
A．several studies have been done in the past few years |
|
B．the omission of breakfast has little effect on one’s work |
|
C．grown-ups have especially made studies in this field |
|
D．eating little in the morning is good for health |
3.The underlined part “nor does giving people breakfast improve work” means _______.
|
A．people without breakfast can improve their work |
|
B．not giving people breakfast improves work |
|
C．having breakfast does not improve work, either |
|
D．people having breakfast do improve their work, too |
4.The word "literature" in the last sentence refers to _______.
|
A．stories, poems, play, etc |
|
B．written works on a particular subject |
|
C．newspaper articles |
|
D．the modern literature of America |
5.What is implied but not stated by the author is that _______.
|
A．breakfast does not affect work |
|
B．Dr Polite works at an institution of higher learning |
|
C．not eating breakfast might affect the health of children |
|
D．Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in London |

A group of graduates, well established in their careers, were talking at a reunion and decided to visit their old university professor, now retired. During their visit, the conversation turned to complaints about stress in their work and lives.
Offering his guests hot chocolate, the professor went into the kitchen and returned with a large pot of hot chocolate and other things including cups-porcelain(瓷杯子), glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some elegant -- telling them to help themselves to the hot chocolate.
When they all had a cup of hot chocolate in hand, the professor said: "I notice that all the nice looking and expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. The cup that you're drinking from adds nothing to the quality of the hot chocolate. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was hot chocolate, not the cup; but you consciously went for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each others cups. Now consider this: Life is the hot chocolate; your job, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life. The cup you have does not define, nor change the quality of life you have. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the hot chocolate we have. The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything that they have. Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Thank the Lord for your blessings in 2011. And enjoy your hot chocolate in 2012!”
1. When did they decide to go to see their professor?
|
A．After the reunion. |
B．During the get-together. |

|
A．Because cups were not enough for everyone. |
|
B．Because cups were beautiful. |
|
C．Because the professor wanted to teach them something. |
|
D．Because hot chocolate should be contained in different cups. |
3.What caused the professor to say those words?
|
A．Their graduation. |
B．Their reunion. |
C．Their visit. |
D．Their complaints. |
4.What does the word “cup” in this passage refer to?
|
A．Life |
B．happy things in life |
|
C．hot chocolate |

5.What is the purpose of the professor’s words?
|
A．To tell them life is not easy, so try their best to be happy. |
|
B．To educate them that the happiest people don't have the best of everything. |
|
C．To wish them to be grateful to their life and make the best of everything that they have. |
|
D．To use different cups to tell them they should try different things in life. |
