a house in austin, texas, which is now a museum. visitors to austin can see the house. it was saved from destruction (破坏) and turned into a museum in1934. the museum is a good way to learn about the interesting life of the american writer.william porter rented this house in austin and lived there with his wife athol and daughter margaret for about two years. many objects in the museum belonged to the porters. others did not. an important piece in the room is the original photograph over here. it was taken there in the house about 1895. the piano there goes back to the 1860s. his wife took lessons on it when she first moved to austin.porter did not start his career as a successful writer. he worked at a farm, land office and bank. he also loved words and writing. the museumm has a special proof of porters love of language - his dictionary. it is said that he had read every word in that dictionary.later william porter was forced to leave austin because he was charged with financial wrongdoing at the bank and lost his job. because he was afraid of a trail (审判), he left the country secretly. but he returned because his wife was dying. after her death, he faced the trial and became a criminal. he served three and a half years in a prison in ohio.william porter would keep his time in prison a secret. but there was one good thing about it. it provided him with time to write. by the time he was freed, he had published 14 stories and became well known as o.henry.porter later moved to new york city and found great success there. he published over 180 stories in the last eight years of his life.46. o.henrys house in austin has been well kept up till now so that _. a. americans can explore their history b more visitors will be attracted to austinc. visitors can learn about o.henrys life d. it can show the way of life in the 1860s47. what do we know about the piano in the house?a. it was hated by porters daughter. b. it has a long history of about 150 years.c. porters wife gave music lessons on it. d. porter usually created music on it.48. how does the museum prove (证明) porter was fond of language?a. with a dictionary he used. b. with the records they keep.c. using the books they wrote. d. using the photograph they keep.49. why did porter escape from austin?a. he didnt want to lose his job. b. he didnt want to make trouble.c. he meant to save his wifes life.d. he was charged with a crime.50. from the last two paragraphs we know that _.a. porter became famous suddenly b. porter spent his time in prison writingc. porter suffered a lot from his time in prisond. life in prison provided what he could write for porter b “i dont speak english”-these are the first words i learned when i came to america. soon i was able to pronounce the four words clearly, and said them whenever an american tried to talk to me. this answer was very effective（有效的）at ending our conversation and saving me from another uncomfortable situation, or i would have to communicate in a language that i was not familiar with.before coming to the states, i thought i knew english pretty well. but the truth is that the grammar and vocabulary-based english that is taught in schools overseas（海外的）is not the english people speak in america.but fear not! once you are in america, you can immediately begin to bridge the gap（弥补差距）between the learned english that you already know, and the spoken english that is all around you. to do this, first of all, it is important not to fear when you realize that you may not be as prepared for daily communication as you thought. for me, as soon as i stopped worrying about my accent and started speaking, i made rapid progress. often the people didnt notice my mistakes because they were so glad to finally be able to communicate with me.another good idea is to listen carefully and pay attention to the way in which ideas are expressed. for example, if you are working hard and you want to stop working and rest for a little while, you can either say “i would like to stop working and rest for a while” or “i want to take a quick break from work.” the first sentence, i quickly learned, sounds dry and too formal for any kind of communication, while the second is an idiom（成语）that is widely used in american english conversation.finally, use what you already know-the vocabulary, the grammar and the spelling. try to use these into the spoken language for more impressive and accurate（精确）speaking results.51what s the main idea of this passage?ayoud better say “i dont speak english” in the usa.bhow you can improve your spoken english in the usa.cidioms are widely used to express your ideas in the usa.dlistening is the best way to improve your spoken english in the usa.52at first the writer preferred to use the sentence “i dont speak english” to .aadmit he is a foreigner bsave much time for himselfcprevent himself from being laughed at davoid getting upset in communicating with others53whats the problem with the english taught outside the english-speaking countries?ait is quite different from what the natives speak. bit is taught in boring and wrong grammar.cit has nothing to do with english. dit has too small a vocabulary.54when did the writer make rapid progress in spoken english?aas soon as he paid attention to the way americans spoke.bthe minute he found what has been learned useless.cthe moment he got rid of the fear of speaking.dimmediately he arrived in the usa.55all the following are tip given buy the writer except “ .”aspeaking bravely blistening carefullycusing what you have learned dmaking few mistakescplaying basketball isnt ladylike. thats what jewell chapmans high school headmaster told her in 1961 when he was against the girls basketball program.“we were very discouraged, ” said chapman, a forward（前锋）for her high school team of des moines.nearly 50 years later, chapman is back on the playground. shes 62 and plays for “hot pink grannies” ,joining about 10 other women on a team whose uniforms are black trousers and hot pink socks. they play in the iowa granny basketball league.its one of dozens of basketball leagues for women over 50 that have arisen across the country. for some, its a chance to exercise and meet people; for others, its a once refused chance to make up.“you see more and more elderly womens teams taking part in state and national competitions,” said michael rogers, a professor in sports studies at wichita state university. “in the future it will be something common to have leagues like this.”yearly surveys by the national sporting goods association show the number of women aged 55 and older who play basketball at least 50 times a year has grown from 16,000 in 1995 to nearly 131,000 ten years later.the women on the hot pink grannies are good natured but competitive when game time comes.“i think im tough” says colleen pulliam, 69, showing off her strong arms at her challengers in a game against “strutters”, know for their bright yellow socks.granny basketball leagues and similar groups spread quickly through much of the country, including california, louisiana, new mexico, pennsylvania and washington, d.c.56which is right about chapman?ashe thinks playing basketball isnt ladylike. bshe is now 62 years old and feels discouraged.cshe plays basketball again about 50 years later. dshe is a forward in the hot pink grannies.57the underlined sentence “its a once refused chance to make up” in the fourth paragraph means .ait is chance to realize their old dream bit is chance to take part in sportscit is chance to earn a reputation dit is chance to compete for medals58who is probably a player of “hot oink grannies”?ades moines.bcolleen pulliam.cmichael rogers.dstrutters.59which of the following statements is true?asome elderly women play basketball with the purpose of getting wealthy.bgranny basketball leagues have spread all over the usa.cthe women on the hot pink grannies are good natured and less competitive.dthe number of women aged 55 and older who play basketball has greatly increased.60from the passage we can infer .ain the 1960s, playing basketball wasnt considered as a girls sportbthe color of the socks is of great importance to granny playerscmore and more granny players are confident about getting higher scoresdjewell chapmans high school headmaster has already changed his
