theteacher,for some reason said:“I wish all of the white scholars to standfor a moment.”I rose with the others.The teacher looked at me and,calling my name,said:“You sit down for thepresent,and risewith theothers.”I did not quite understand her.She repeated:“You sit downnow,and rise with the others.”I sat down puzzled and dumb.I saw andheard nothing.When the other were asked to rise,I did not know it.Whenschool was dismissed,I went out unconsciously.A few of the white boyslaughed at me,saying:“Oh,youre a nigger,too.”I hurried on as fast as I could to where my looking glass hung onthe wall in my own little room.For an instant I was afraid to look,butwhen I did,I looked long and earnestly.I was accustomed to hearingremarks about my beauty;but now,forthe first time,I became consciousof it and recognized it.I noticed the ivory(象牙)whiteness of my skin,the beauty of my mouth,the size and liquid darkness of my eyes.I randownstairs and rushed to where my mother was sitting.I buried my headin her lap and cried out:“Mother,tell me,am I a nigger?”I could notsee her face,butI felt her hands on my head.I looked up into her face.There were tears in her eyes and I could see that she was suffering forme.And then it was that I looked at her critically for the first time.I had thought of her in a childish way only as the most beautiful womanin the world;now I looked at her searching for defects.I could see thather skin was almost brown,and that she did differ in some way from theother ladies who came to the house;yet,even so I could see that she wasmore beautiful than any of them.She must have felt that I was examiningher,for she hid her face in my hair and said with difficulty:“No,mydarling,you are not a nigger.”She went on:“If anyone calls you a nigger,dont notice them.”But the more she talked,the less was I reassured,and I stopped herby asking:“Well,mother,am I white?Are you white?”She answered tremblingly:“No,I am not white,but your father is oneof the greatest men in the country.The best blood of the South is in you.”This suddenly opened up in my heart a fresh fear,and I almost fiercelydemanded:“Who is my father?Where is he?”She stroked my hair and said:“Ill tell you about him some day.”I sobbed:“I want to know now.”She answered:“No,not now.”文章来自 http:/ 本篇文章谢绝转载.21.We can infer from the passage that“a nigger”means_.A.a white person B.a black

one-parent familyPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.For Americans,time is a“resource”that,like water or coal,canbe used well or poorly.“Time is money,”they say.“You only get somuch time in thislife;youd best use it wisely.”The future will notbe better than the past or the present unless people use their time froconstructive,future-oriented activities.Thus,Americans admire a“well-organized”person,one who has a written list of things to do anda schedule for doing them.The ideal person is punctual and treasures otherpeoples time.The American attitude towards time is not necessarily shared by others,especially non-Europeans.They are more likely to consider time assomething that is simply there around them,not something they can“use”.One of the more difficult things many foreign businessmen and studentsmust adjust to in the States is the notion that time must be saved wheneverpossible and used wisely every day.In their efforts to use their time wisely,Americans are sometimesseen by foreign visitors as automatons,unhuman creatures who are so tiedto their clocks and their schedules that they cannot participate in or文章来自 http:/ 本篇文章谢绝转载.enjoy the human interactions that are the truly important things in life.“They are like little machines running around,”one foreign visitorsaid.The emphasis Americans place on efficiency is closely related to theirconcepts of the future,change and time.To do something efficiently isto do it in the way that is quickest and requires the smallest investmentof resources.American businesses sometimes hire“efficiency experts”to review their operations and suggest ways in which they could accomplishmore than they are currently accomplishing with the resources they areinvesting.Popular periodicals carry suggestions for more efficient waysto clean house,raise children,tend the yard,and so on.In this context the“fast-food industry”can be seen as a clearexample of an American cultural product.McDonald s,Kentucky FriedChicken,Pizza Hut,and other fast-food establishments prosper in acountry where many people want to minimize the amountof time they spendpreparing and eating meals.The millions of Americans who take their mealsat fast-food restaurants cannot have much interest in lingering over theirfood while conversing with friends,as millions of Europeans do.AsMcDonald s restaurants have spread around the world,they have been viewedas symbols of American society and culture,bringing not just hamburgersbut an emphasis on speed,efficiency,and shiny cleanliness.The typicalAmerican food,some observers argue,is fast food.26.If a person treasures other peoples time,he .A.does not waste peoples time with conversation or activity thathas no beneficial outcomeB.does not believe the future will beany better thanthe present orthe pastC.likes to deep a written schedule of the daily activities with himD.likes to have his meals at the fast-food restaurants to save time27.In the eyes of the foreign visitors in the States,Americanpeople .A.think that time is always there which needs budgetingB.enjoy saving and using time wisely everydayC.are indifferent in that they are like feelingless machinesD.are so fully engaged that they are unable to enjoy the importantthings in life28.What is the job of an efficiency expert?A.Writing articles for periodicals.B.Recommending ways of efficient investment.C.Examining the quality of a companys products.D.Teaching people how to take care of their yard.29.Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Many Americans love having meals at fast-food restaurants.B.Americans are busier than other people in the world.文章来自 http:/ 本篇文章谢绝转载.C.The American fast-food industry helps spread the American culturearound the world.D.The United States is the father of the worlds fast-food industry.30.The best title for this passage is .A.The American Concept of TimeB.The Development of the American Fast Food IndustryC.How to Raise EfficiencyD.The American Food and CulturePassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.It is difficult to estimate the number of youngsters involved in homeschooling,where children are not sent to school and receive their formaleducation from one or both parents.Legislation and court decisions havemake it legally possible in most states for parents to educate theirchildren at home,and each year more people take advantage of thatopportunity.Supporters of home education claim that it is less expensive and farmore efficient than mass public education.Moreover they quote severalmerits:relief of school overcrowding,added curricular and pedagogical(课程和教学法)alternatives,strengthened family relationships,lowerdropout rates,increased motivation,higher standardized test scores,andreduced discipline problems.Supporters of home schooling also believethat it provides the parents with the opportunity to reinforce their moralvalues through education.Critics of home schooling movement claim that it creates as manyproblems as it solves.They acknowledge that,in a few cases,homeschooling offers educational opportunities superior to those found inmost public schools,but few parents can provide such educationaladvantages.Some parents who withdraw their children form the schools infavor of home schooling have an inadequate educational background andinsufficient formal training to provide a satisfactory education fortheir children.Typically,parents have fewer,not more technologicalresources available than do schools.However,the relatively inexpensivecomputer technology that is readily available today is causing some tochallenge the notion that home schooling is in any way not so good as morehighly structured classroom education.Finally,a sociological(社会学)concern is the restricted socialinteraction experienced by children who are educated at home.Technologywillneverreplacethepupil-teacherrelationship.Also,whilerelationships with parents and brothers and sisters may be improved,children taught at home may develop a distorted(歪曲的)view of society.31.The main idea of the passage is that .A.more and more parents are in favor of home schooling文章来自 http:/ 本篇文章谢绝转载.B.home schooling is superior to school education because it has beenlegally approvedC.though home schooling has its advantages,it creates as many newproblems at the same timeD.school education is no doubt better than home education32.Those who support home schooling think that .A.its less expensive and more efficient apart from other meritsB.it has added curricular and pedagogical alternativesC.it will cause fewer discipline problemsD.its more important to reinforce moral values33.Critics believe that .A.few parents can afford computers and technology when providing homeeducationB.few parents are qualified enough to provide a satisfactory homeeducationC.school
