2012BBarditch High School decided to an All-School Reunion. Over 450 people came to the event. There were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park. Several former teachers were on hands to tell stories about the old days. Ms. Mabel Yates, the English teacher for fifty years, was wheeled to the Park.Some eyes rolled and there were a few low groans(嘟囔声)when Ms.Yates was about to speak. Many started looking at their watches and coming up with excuses to be anywhere instead of preparing to listen to a lecture from and old woman who had few kind words for her students and made them work harder than all the other teachers combined.Then Ms. Yates started to speak:“I cant tell you how pleased I am to be here. I havent seen many of you since your graduation, but I have followed your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies. I have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my students. Although I havent appeared in person, I have attended your college graduations, weddings and even the birth your children, in my imagination.”Ms. Yates paused and started crying a bit. Then she continued:“It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me. Regardless of our motives, I can see that you have all been successful in you chosen path.”“There is no greater comfort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her years of work. You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I love you all from the bottom of my heart.”There was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then someone started clapping.

I was a bright-eyed ghl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell. My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college an the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait. Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopt and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic-and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy. You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 81. Our home was a complete zoo-a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant talking as few as one class each semester. The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, But I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree！I am not special, just single-minded.

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.41. By saying “Language is the tool of my trade”, the author means that _.A. she uses English in foreign tradeB. she is fascinated by languagesC. she works as a translatorD. she is a writer by profession42. The author used to think of her mothers English as _.A. impoliteB. amusingC. imperfectD. practical43. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?A. Americans do not understand broken English.B. The authors mother was not respected sometimes.C. The author mother had positive influence on her.D. Broken English always reflects imperfect thoughts.44. The author gradually realizes her mothers English is _.A. well structuredB. in the old styleC. easy to translateD. rich in meaning45. What is the passage mainly about?A. The changes 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.41.D推理理解题。“trade”本身就有“职业，行业”之意，加之文章第一段和最后一段都谈到了作者是一名作家。42.C细节理解题。 答案见第三自然段。43.B理解判断题。 由第三自然段最后一句话可知。44.D细节理解题。 由本文最后一句话可知。45A主旨大意题。 由开始对母亲语言的批判到最后认为母亲语言的丰富性，全文主要围绕母亲的语言来展开。2008B I love charity (慈善) shops and so do lots of other people in Britain because you find quite a few of them on every high street. The charity shop is a British institution, selling everything from clothes to electric goods, all at very good prices. You can get things you wont find in the shops anymore. The thing I like best about them is that your money is going to a good cause and not into the pockets of profit-driven companies, and you are not damaging the planet, but finding a new home for unwanted goods. The first charity shop was opened in 1947 by Oxfam. The famous charitys appeal to aid postwar Greece had been so successful it had been flooded with donations (捐赠物). They decided to set up a shop to sell some of these donations to raise money for that appeal. Now there are over 7,000 charity shops in the UK. My favourite charity shop in my hometown is the Red Cross shop, where I always find childrens books, all 10 or 20 pence each. Most of the people working in the charity shops are volunteers, although there is often a manager who gets paid. Over 90% of the goods in the charity shops are donated by the public. Every morning you see bags of unwanted items outside the front of shops, although they dont encourage this, rather ask people to bring things in when the shop is open. The shops have very low running costs: all profits go to charity work. Charity shops raise more than 110 million a year, funding (资助) medical research, overseas aid, supporting sick and poor children, homeless and disabled people, and much more. What better place to spend your money? You get something special for a very good price and a good moral sense. You provide funds to a good cause and tread lightly on the environment.40. The author loves the charity shop mainly because of _.A. its convenient location B. its great variety of goodsC. its spirit of goodwill D. its nice shopping environment41. The first charity shop in the UK was set up to _.A. sell cheap products B. deal with unwanted thingsC. raise money for patients D. help a foreign country42. Which of the following is TRUE about charity shops?A. The operating costs are very low. B. The staff are usually well paid.C. 90% of the donations are second-hand. D. They are open twenty-four hours a day.43. Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?A. What to Buy a Charity Shops. B. Charity Shop: Its Origin & Development.C. Charity Shop: Where You Buy to Donate. D. The Publics Concern about Charity Shops.本文主要介绍了慈善商店的基本特色以及慈善商店的创建与发展。40C 推理判断题。由第一段第四句The thing I like best about them is that your money is going to a good cause”“我“最喜欢慈善商店的一点是你的钱用于有用的事业可推断出C 项为正确答案。goodwill”含义为“好意”41D 事实细节题。由第二段第二、三两句the famous charity”s appeal to aid postwar Greece had been so successful” 可知第一个慈善商店的建立是为了筹钱援助战后的希腊。而从文章的第一段可知作者是英国人。因此，D 项正确。C项中的patients”未提。42. A42. 事实细节题。由第四段第一句The shops have very low running costs”可知A项正确。running”相当于operating” 含义为“运营”由第三段第一句中volunteer（志愿者）可知B项不正确。由第三段第二句可知慈善商店中90%以上的商品为公众捐赠，但并不能推出是“二手货”，故C 项不正确。D项未提43. C 主旨大意题。本文的最后一句为主题句。由a good moral sense (好的道德感)和You provide funds to a good cause（你为一项有意义的事业提供资金）可知 C项为最好题目。Charity Shop: Where You Buy To Donate. （慈善商店-一个买东西就相当于捐款的地方。）2007BCharles Blackman：Alice in WonderlandAn Exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV),Australia10 June 12 August 2007Venue (地点) The Ian Potter CentreAdmission Free entryCharles Blackman is famous for his beautiful painting of dreams.
