I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but I didnt: understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that: hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed(解散). As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up；she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible (负责任) for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized(强调) the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating(欺骗) themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously(认真地) about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girls test paper. I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed very strange to her that I hadnt talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued(继续) to believe that I had cheated on the test.1.The story took place(发生) exactly _.Ain the teachers officeBin an exam roomCin the schoolDin the language lab2.The girl wanted to borrow a pen, because _.Ashe had not brought a pen with herBshe had lost her own on her way to schoolCthere was something wrong with her ownDher own had been taken away by someone3.The teacher saw all this, so she asked the boy _.Ato go on writing his paperBto stop whisperingCto leave the room immediatelyDto stay behind after the exam4.The thing(s) emphasized in her talk was (were) _.AhonestyBsense of dutyCseriousnessDall of the above(B)Imagine this: Youre sitting in a London café with an English friend. He turns to you and asks if you think that “bird over there is a bunny boiler”. Would you: A) look blank and tell him rabbits cant fly; B) curse the day you ever started studying the terrible English language; or C) give your opinion of whether that girl over there is crazy or not?Teachers and students often talk about the “plateau (高原)” of language learning. The metaphor sees every word learned as a step on the journey towards fluency. When youve reached a certain high level, you stop improving and hit the “plateau”. Thousands of English language learners have wandered around for years on this flat, boring plateau. However, few have come up with ideas about how to get off it. If you answered A or B to the above situation then my solution may come as a surprise: You need slang (俚语) to lift you up and away.Of course textbooks wont recommend this route. Slang is too fast-changing to be recorded in them. And slang is also a dirty word to some teachers, who only like polite English. But English is not only an old-fashioned, polite language, it is also changing quickly. At the end of 2005, two fat new dictionaries “The New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English” and “Cassells Dictionary of Slang” hit the bookshops. Ignoring Englishs slang is like travelling to a new country and only visiting places recommended in a 10-year-old guidebook. Boring. So where can you get a fix?New books are good slanguage (slang-language) sources. If youre tired of reading, buy a CD. Musicians and rappers like the UKs Artic Monkey and The Streets and the US Kelis and Eminem are slang sensations (引起轰动的人), constantly playing tricks with the Queens English.As the Austrian-British philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein said, the limits of your language are the limits of your world. So why not widen your horizons with a little properly used slanguage? From there its just a short step to pushing yourself and your friends off the plateau on all-new adventures.5.The first paragraph is mainly written to _.Ashow British people enjoy chatting with friends in a caféBprove that slanguage is difficult to studyCpresent the topic to be discussed in the passageDlet the reader choose a correct answer6.According to the passage, the underlined “bird” in Paragraph 1 probably refers to _.AEnglish languageBa young womanCslanguageDa rabbit7.Which of the following is TRUE of people on the “plateau” of language learning?AThey never make any improvement in language learning.BThey usually lose heart in language learning.CThey know nothing about slang.DThey are puzzled by how to learn a language better.8.In the passage, slanguage is best seen as _.Aa key to the “plateau” problemBa dirty word to some teachersCa 10-year-old guidebookDa foreign language(c)Im an American-born Chinese. I wouldnt say Im more American than Chinese or vice versa. My character was equally molded by both cultures. For a long time, I was comfortable with being from two cultures. I was fluent in “Chinglish”.However, as I grew up, something unexpected rose, causing a parallel tension between the two corresponding cultures. During Chinese events when I was in China, the host would sometimes make fun of America. My relatives would look at me and laugh, asking me how I felt. But how could I respond to a question like that? If I said I was uncomfortable, it would just make me seem even more American in their eyes. But I couldnt pretend to laugh either. So, I often just stayed quiet and smiled.Sometimes, Id leave China feeling less Chinese than when I went in.This past summer, on my way back to Rochester, a man at the airport kept asking my father and I where we were from. When I told him I was from the United States, he didnt seem to believe me.He then went on to ask the terrible question, “But like where are you really from, like, where were you born?” And no matter how specific our answers were, the man still seemed a little doubtful. He then went on to ask us if we knew where Tampa, Florida was and if we knew anything about it. Its moments like these when I realize that sometimes my appearance makes it hard for me to seem fully American.These experiences made me question if I was more Chinese or American.I felt like I was neither. So, if I wasnt completely one culture or the other, what was I? In China, I would feel more American, while in America, I would feel more Chinese. There was no balance between my two cultures.But this doesnt mean that I dont embrace (拥抱) both my identities. I love both my Chinese cultural identity and my American one. I just need to learn to love them together.9.How did the author feel about his identity at the very beginning?ASpecial.BConfident.CConfused.DRidiculous.10.Why did the author feel less Chinese when he left China?ABecause he found it hard to remain quiet and have a big smile.BBecause he was unable to speak fluent Chinese at his hometown.CBecause he had lost face in front of his relatives and friends.DBecause he was treated as an American by his Chinese relatives.11.What made the man at the airport keep questioning where the author was from?AHis cultures.BHis experience.CHis look.DHis air tickets.12.What could be the best title of the passage?ABeing Culturally HomelessBA Boy with Two IdentitiesCA Chinese Boy Born in AmericanDBetter Chinese than American(D)Fourteen-year-old Thuch Salik became an overnight star last year, after a video of him selling souvenirs at Angkor Archaeological Park in multiple languages and dialects went popular online.At the time of the video being filmed, Thuch lived with his parents and two brothers close to the park. His parents had relocated the family from the city of Battambang to Siem Reap to work in the tourist trade, but got into great debts during the move.Thuch was always a bright boy and often begged his mother to allow him to study foreign languages, but she had no money to provide lessons for him. Yet this didnt fail the determined teenager.“I learned from tourists. When they say something, I listen. One day, two days, three days, I listened,” said Thuch. “I remember, and I say like the tourists.”Since the video was posted, Thuch and his family have received donations and offers of help from around the world.Initially, Thuch went with his mother and younger brother to Phnom Penh and was sent to BELTEI International School by a Cambodian businessman. This month, however, Thuch Salik flew to China to begin his study at Hailiang Foreign Language School in Zhejiang Province, China.Zhejiang Hailiang Charity Foundation will fully cover Thuchs expenses until he finishes university, or even doctoral study, according to a statement from the Hailaing Education Group.The group revealed that a major factor in giving Thuch this chance to realize his dreams is due to their newly-launched “One Belt One Road” International Talent Study-in-China Philanthropic Program. As a part of this program, Hailiang will offer scholarships to talented youths in BRI countries from poor backgrounds.11,What might be the best way to learn foreign languages according to Thuch?ACommunicating with local tourists day after day.BReceiving education at foreign language schools.CMoving to the country speaking target languages.DLearning from actions, and acting from learning.12.How could Thuch study at Hailiang Foreign Language School?AHe passed serious tests.BHis parents relocated the family.CHe benefited from “One Belt One Road”.DHe got help from a Cambodian businessman.13.What can we know about Thuch?AHe is natural for languages.BHe moves to China from Battambang.CHe becomes rich from the tourist trade.DHe is determined to get formal schooling.14,What does the text mainly talk about?AA little Cambodian businessman becomes popular.BA little trader gets rid of poverty by learning languages.CA little Cambodian language genius moves to China.DA little boy becomes a video star by selling souvenirs.完成后请自行核对答案！答案：(A)BCDA（B)CBDA (C)BDCA（D)DCAC学科网（北京）股份有限公司学科网（北京）股份有限公司
