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 i 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.1. the author used to think of her mothers english as.a. impolite b. amusingc. imperfectd. practical2. 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 authors mother had positive influence on her.d. broken english always reflects imperfect thoughts.3 the author gradually realizes her mothers english is.a. well structuredb. in the old stylec. easy to translated. rich in meaning4 what is the passage mainly about?a. the change 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. if it really is whats on the inside that counts, then a lot of thin people might be in trouble.some doctors now think that the internal(内部的) fat surrounding important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.“being thin doesnt surely mean you are not fat,” said dr jimmy bell at imperial college. since 1994, bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with mri machines to create “fat maps” showing where people store fat.according to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits of internal fat, even if they are slim.even people with normal body mass index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside. of the women, as many as 45 percent of those with normal bmi scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of internal fat. among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent.according to bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat. they eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat. scientists believe we naturally store fat around the belly first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere.doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes(糖尿病). they want to prove that internal fat damages the bodys communication systems.the good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet. “if you want to be healthy, there is no shortcut. exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle.” bell said.5what is the passage mainly about?a. thin people may be fat inside.b. internal fat is of no importance.c. internal fat leads to many diseases.d. thin people dont have diabetes.6according to the passage, which of the following is wrong?aexercise can help to reduce the internal fat.bpeople can get rid of internal fat by improving diet.cmen are more likely to have too much internal fat.dpeople with heart disease all have internal fat.7from the last paragraph, we can find that _.ainternal fat leading to disease has been provedbexercise plays an important role in peoples life for keeping healthycthin people usually have internal fat even if they are slimdit is easier to burn off internal fat than external fat8 the underlined part in the last paragraph means _.aa long roadba clear differencecan easy wayda short distance the dodo is among the most famous extinct creatures, and a poster child for human-caused extinction events. despite its bad name, and the fact that the species was alive during recorded human history, little is actually known about how this animal lived, looked, and behaved. a new study of the only known complete skeleton(骨架) from a single bird takes advantage of modern 3-d laser scanning(扫描) technology to open a new window into the life of this famous extinct bird.the study was presented at the 74th annual meeting of the society of vertebrate paleontology in estrel, berlin. leon claessens, associate professor at the college of the holy cross, and lead researcher on the study said that, the 3-d laser surface scans we made of the fragile dodo skeletons enable us to reconstruct how the dodo walked, moved and lived to a level of detail that has never been possible before. there are so many outstanding questions about the dodo bird that we can answer with this new knowledge.a complete dodo skeleton, found by an amateur collector and barber, etienne thirioux, on the island of mauritius between 1899 and 1917, has remained unstudied, even though it is the only complete dodo skeleton from a single individual bird known to exist. all other skeletons are incomplete combinations, meaning that they are gathered from more than one individual. in addition, thirioux constructed a second, partially combined skeleton, which contains many bones that also belong to a single bird. being able to examine the skeleton of a single, individual dodo, which is not made up from as many individual birds as there are bones, as is the case in all those other combined skeletons, truly allows us to appreciate the way the dodo looked and see how tall or fat it really was, said juilan hume, of the natural history museum uk, a co-author on the study.the scans were performed on site in durban, south africa, and allow examination of the biology of this mysterious extinct bird in detail for the first time. using the newest digital tools and techniques, the scans provide an insight into how the flightless dodo may have developed its giant size, and how it walked and lived in its forest home. according to kenneth rijsdijk, a biologist from university of amsterdam, “the skull of the dodo is so large and its mouth so strong that it is easy to understand that the earliest naturalists thought it was related to sharks and other birds of prey（猛禽）, rather than the pigeon family.”9the underlined phrase “a poster child” in para. 1 is closest in meaning to “ ”.a. a typical exampleb. an endangered animalc. a child who puts up posters on the boardd. a child posted in a newspaper as an advertisement10the researchers study the dodo skeleton to find out .a. ways to save the dodob. the dodos living habitsc. the birds natural habitatd. the cause of the dodos extinction11what is special about the dodo skeleton found by an amateur collector?a. it is gathered from more than one individual.b. it reminded unstudied between 1899 and 1917.c. it is the only complete dodo skeleton from a single individual bird.d. it can be examined with 3-d laser scanning technology.12what is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?a. to call peoples attention to wildlife protection.b. to criticize humans for the extinction events.c. to introduce a new way of studying the dodo.d. to give tips on how to study extinct creatures. military training has long been considered a ritual(仪式) that freshmen must go through in order to officially start their college lives. while some question the necessity of such training. many students see military training as a campus tradition that should be maintained. early in february, the ministry of education issued a new regulation that colleges and universities should carry out a minimum of 14 days compulsory military training for freshmen.in a report by beijing evening news, hou zhengfang, a beijing-based education phd, questioned the benefits of military training. “the training routine does little to improve students physical fitness over only two weeks time. maybe some disaster prevention training, such as earthquake survival or escaping from fires would be of greater benefit.”meng yang, a 19-year-old freshman at guangxi university, fainted during training. she said that many students, especially girls, are willing to train under direct sunshine. “for me, military training is physically challenging and even damages my health.”according to li jian from the student affairs office of guangzhou university, feeling dizzy happens frequently during military training and the school has received a lot of complaints from both students and parents: “but i still think military training is a good thing. students are easier to manage after the military training. they became more positive about their new environment after the training.”although autumn is fast approaching beijing, the noon heat burns 3300 freshmen on tsinghua universitys campus. chu jinjing, a freshman majoring in medicine, did feel some discomfort while training in sweaty clothes in the glaring heat, the 18-year-old still enjoyed being part of group going through strict exercises. “by going through this tough training, students bond faster and a sense of belonging to the school can be formed. ive made a lot of friends already.”according to the ministry of education, the purpose of military training is to teach students discipline, the spirit of teamwork and endurance. but in reality, according to xiong bingqi, deputy director of the 21st century education research institute, the effect is not satisfying. “such goals require long-term development. it is unrealistic to expect military training to make a difference in only 14 days.” he thus suggests that it should be up to schools to conduct military training in a way that best suits their students.however, wang wenhui, an 18-year-old freshman from xian jiaotong university, sees military training as a tradition that reaches beyond character building. “from junior and senior high school to college, we join military training to start a new journey. i would feel a bit incomplete without it.”13how many people expressing their opinions are mentioned in this passage?a4 b5 c6 d714according to hou zhengfang, it seems much more beneficial to give freshmen_.asurvival skills bmilitary training cthe spirit of teamwork and endurance dstrict exercises15what is the authors attitude towards military training? asupportive bsubjective cobjective drejective 16what is the best title for the passage? aa policy made by the ministry of education bmilitary training under fire ca new journey da best way to teach students discipline while astronauts in space get to do many exciting things, they miss out on ordinary things that we all take for grantedbeing able to walk on firm ground, hanging out with family and digging into a slice of hot steaming pizza. though not much can be done about the first two things, there may soon be a solution to the third one, thanks to this cool 3-d pizza printer!about a year ago, nasa offered $125 ,000 to anjan contractor, a 3-d technology expert, to build a device (设备) that would allow astronauts to make pizza on demand. the mechanical engineer promised that his invention would produce pies in large quantities that looked, tasted and even smelled like pizza made in common ovens.late last year, the engineer presented a video of his first prototype (原型) that begins by creating a single slice of dough (面团) that is cooked and printed at the same time. then comes the tomato “sauce” a mix of tomato powder, oil and water and finally, a protein slice that resembles cheese. while the video doesnt show the baking process, the inventor says that once the pizza is printed, it can be ready to be consumed in 7 seconds.while the pie in the video looks delicious enough to attract any pizza lover, anjan contractor is far from ready for astronauts. thats because he still has to find a solution to make the food container in the printer last for 30 years. though that may sound unrealistic, actually it is not.anjan contractor believes that the only way that is possible is that the water is removed from all the ingredients (配料) and then they are reduced to the powder form. this, as you can imagine, will not be so easy. but, while the printer may not be ready for space, it certainly looks ready enough for people on earth. hopefully, nasa and contractor will consider selling it to those not fortunate enough to go to mars!17 why does the author mention the things that astronauts in space cannot do?a. to ask us not to take common things for granted.b. to show they live a difficult life there.c. to show their life is boring in space.d. to introduce the topic of the text.18nasa offered $ 125, 000 to anjan contractor mainly to _.a. create some new type of 3-d print
