george was very interested in old dictionaries. hed recently found a collector in australia who was selling a rare first edition. when the parcel arrived, the book was in perfect condition and george was delighted. but while he was having lunch, george glanced at the photo in the newspaper that the book had been wrapped in. he was astonishedthe smiling face was older than he remembered but unmistakable! trembling, george started reading. “bookends have bought ten bookstores from their rivals dylans. the company, owned by multi-millionaire richard pike, is now the largest bookseller in australia. ” 56. how did george feel about richard after his disappearance?

(c)i am a writer. 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 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.63. by saying “language is the tool of my trade”, the author means that _.a. she is a writer by profession b. she is fascinated by languagesc. she works as a translatord. she uses english in foreign trade 64. the author used to think of her mothers english as _.a. impolite b imperfect c. amusing d. practical65. the author gradually realizes her mothers english is _.a. rich in meaning b. in the old style c. easy to translate d. well structured66. what is the passage mainly about?a. the authors misunderstanding of “limited” english.b. the limitation of the authors perception of her mother.c. the changes of the authors attitude to her mothers english.d. the authors experiences of using broken english.(d) they were going to fort lauderdale three boys and three girls and when they boarded the bus, they were carrying sandwiches and wine in paper bags, dreaming of golden beaches and sea tides as the gray, cold spring of now york went behind them.as the bus passed through new jersey, they began to notice vingo. he sat in front of them, completely in silence.deep into the night, outside washington, the bus pulled into howard johnsons, and everybody got off except vingo. the young people began to wonder about him. when they went back to the bus, one of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself. “want some wine?” she said. he smiled and took a swig from the bottle. he thanked her and became silent again. after a while, she went back to the others, and vingo nodded in sleep.in the morning, they awoke outside another howard johnsons, and this time vingo went in. the girl insisted that he join them. he ordered black coffee and some cookies as the young people talked about sleeping on beaches. when they returned to the bus, the girl sat with vingo again, and after a while, slowly and painfully, he began to tell his story. he had been in prison in new york for the past four years, and now he was going home.“are you married?”“i dont know.”“you dont know?” she said.“well, when i was in prison i wrote to my wife,” he said, “i told her that i was going to be away for a long time, and that if she couldnt stand it, if the kids kept asking questions, and if it hurt her too much, well, she could jus forget me. id understand. get a new man, i said shes a wonderful woman. i told her she didnt have to write me. and she didnt. not for three and a half years.”“and youre going home now, not knowing?”“yeah. well, last week, when i was sure the parole (假释) was coming through, i wrote her again. we used to live in brunswick, just before jacksonville, and theres a big oak (橡树) just as you come into town. i told her that if she didnt have a new man and if shed take me back, she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree, and id get off and come home. if she didnt want me, forget it no handkerchief and id go on through.”“wow,” the girl exclaimed, “wow.”she told the others, and soon all of them were in it, looking at the pictures vingo showed them of his wife and three children.now they were 20
