However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner.Born in September, 1897, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies' two daughters.

My house, furniture and everything Id owned was sold to pay debts that I didn't even know I had. In a week I had lost my husband, my home and my parents who had refused to accept a divorce in the family. Id lost everything except my four teenage children. I used every penny I had to buy five plane tickets from Missouri to Hawaii. Everyone said I was crazy to think I could just go to an island and survive. I was afraid they were right.Knowing that no one in the world was going to help us, I rented a cheap apartment. I worked 18 hours a day and lost 30 pounds because I lived on one meal a day. One night as I walked alone on the beach, I saw the red orange glow of the lave (火山岩) pouring out of Kilarea Volcano in the distance. It was time to live my imagination!The next day I quit my job and invested my last paycheck in art supplies and began doing what I loved. I hadnt painted a picture in 15 years. I wondered if I could still paint. My hands trembled the first time I picked up a brush. But before an hour had passed, I was lost in the colors spreading across the canvas in front of me. And as soon as I started believing in myself, other people started believing in me, too. The first painting sold for $1,500 before I even had time to frame it.The past six years have been filled with adventures. My children and I have gone swimming with dolphins, watched whales and hiked around the volcano. We wake up every morning with the ocean in front of us and the volcano behind us. The dream I had more than 40 years ago is now reality. Im living freely and happily ever after.1. It can be inferred from the passage that _.

I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of languagethe 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 allall the Englishes I grew up with. Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, Ive 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. Ive heard other terms used, “limited English,” for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including peoples perceptions(认识)of the limited English speaker. I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mothers “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 wont 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. 1.

Americans do not understand broken English.B. The authors mother was not respected sometimes. C. The authors mother had positive influence on her. D. Broken English always reflects imperfect thoughts.4. The author gradually realizes her mothers English is.A. well structured B. in the old styleC. easy to translate D. rich in meaning5. What is the passage mainly about? A. The change of the authors attitude to her mothers English. B. The limitation of the authors perception of her mother. C. The authors misunderstanding of “limited” English. D. The authors experiences of using broken English. 【参考答案】58.1-5 DCBDA 阅读理解-BFor ten years Jo Eddings felt that she had been banging her head against a brick wall. “I cant describe my frustration. I felt so helpless,” she says. “What I wanted was the help with my very bright daughter who had a problem with language.” She was slow to learn to talk and at 9 her reading and writing were still poor.“We took her to psychologists and all sorts of experts, but for years nobody seemed to be able to give us a proper diagnosis or know what to do.” But that changed this month when she heard a radio program about an exhibition called Genes Talking at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) in London. It was about a research project to discover a gene lined with a condition known as specific language impairment. “As soon as I heard it I knew that this was what Id been looking for,” she says. “I wasnt alone; I wasnt mad. There was someone who understood my daughter.”SLI covers speech and grammar problems suffered by children, the most familiar of which is dyslexia (诵读困难). About 8 percent of children are recognized as dyslexic. But a similar number may be suffering from other forms of SLI and are not recognized. The condition is the failure of different parts of the brain to deal with speech and language, and different failures manifest (表明) themselves in different ways.The scientist involved in the ICA project was Professor Heather van der Leiy, the director of the Centre for Developmental Language Disorders and Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London, and a leading expert on SLI. “If we can find a genetic link, it will provide the kind of hard evidence that this is a genuine problem, which is needed if we are to cure the disease,” she says.1. The underlined part in the first paragraph probably means Jo Eddings couldnt _. A. understand her daughter and was very sad B. help her daughter out of trouble and felt helpless C. afford to treat her daughters disease and felt sad D. find where to treat her daughters disease and felt ashamed 答案解析：答案为B。本题为句意推测题。从划线部分后文 “I cant describe my frustration. I felt so helpless,” she says. “What I wanted was the help with my very bright daughter who had a problem with language.”可知，Jo Eddings 对于女儿的疾病感到沮丧、无助，他非常需要帮助。故答案为B。由第二段首句 “We took her to psychologists and all sorts of experts”可推测，他们带着女儿看了许多心理医生和各种专家，应该有能力支付治疗费用，故C选项错误。A选项和D选项的 “felt ashamed” 与文意不符。2. Jo Eddings was pleased when she _. A. visited and exhibition called Genes Talking B. heard a radio program about an exhibition C. discovered a gene linked with her daughters problem D. was given a proper diagnosis of her daughters illness.答案解析：答案为B。本题为细节题。由第二段 “But that changed this month when she heard a radio program” 可知，答案为B。3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage ? A. Jo Eddings daughter was lonely and mad. B. Dyslexia is an unknown problem among the public. C. “SLI” stands for Specific Language Impairment. D. Jo Eddings daughters illness was cured at last.答案解析：答案为C。本题为推理题。由第二段 “It was about a research project to discover a gene lined with a condition known as specific language impairment.” 和第三段首句 “SLI covers speech and grammar problems suffered by children, the most familiar of which is dyslexia.”可以推断，C选项正确。 由第二段倒数第二句话 “I wasnt alone; I wasnt mad.” 可知，选项A错误。由第三段 “About 8 percent of children are recognized as dyslexic.” 可知，B选项错误。D选项未提及。4. On which column can we read the above passage in a newspaper? A. Education News. B. Health News. C. Business News. D. Economy News. 答案解析：答案为B。本题为推理题。结合全文和最后一段研究SLI的专家描述 “If we can find a genetic link, it will provide the kind of hard evidence that this is a genuine problem, which is needed if we are to cure the disease,” 可推断，Jo Eddings的女儿的疾病属于基因问题，和健康有关，故答案为B。 - 9 -
