He has strict working timetables.BI 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 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.4Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?AAmericans do not understand broken English.BThe authors mother was not respected sometimes.CThe authors mother had positive influence on her.DBroken English always reflects imperfect thoughts.5The author gradually realizes her mothers English is _.Awell structured Bin the old styleCeasy to translate Drich in meaning6What is the passage mainly about?AThe change of the authors attitude to her mothers English.BThe limitation of the authors perception of her mother.CThe authors misunderstanding of “limited” English.DThe authors experiences of using broken English.CHow I Turned to Be OptimisticI began to grow up on that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunts house，and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America.We were on the bus then.I was crying，and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me.I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.I do not remember myself crying for this reason again.In fact，I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives.When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to seethe strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures.The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism，but the idea did not come to me at once.For the first two years in New York I was really losthaving to study in three schools as a result of family moves.I did not quite know what I was or what I should be.Mother remarried，and things became even more complex for me.Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other.I was often sad，and saw no end to “the hard times”My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home.I wrote letters，filled out forms，translated at interviews with Immigration officers，took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there，and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.From my experiences I have learned one important rule：Almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up，and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right，even though it will not be that easy.7How did the author get to know America?AFrom her relatives. BFrom her mother.CFrom books and pictures. DFrom radio programs.8Upon leaving for America the author felt_.Aconfused Bexcited Cworried Damazed9For the first two years in New York，the author_.Aoften lost her way Bdid not think about her futureCstudied in three different schools Dgot on well with her stepfather10What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4?AShe worked as a translator. BShe attended a lot of job interviews.CShe paid telephone bills for her family. DShe helped her family with her English.11The author believes that_.Aher future will be free from troublesBit is difficult to learn to become patientCthere are more good things than bad thingsDgood things will happen if one keeps tryingDHappiness is for everyone.You dont need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on.Why？Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.In fact，happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it.When you are in trouble at school，your friends will help you；when you study hard at your lessons，your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health；when you get success，your friends will say congratulations to you；when you do something wrong，people around you will help you to correct it.And when you do something good to others，you will feel happy，too.All these are your happiness.If you notice a bit of them，you can see that happiness is always around you.Happiness is not the same as money.It is a feeling of your heart.When you are poor，you can also feel you are very happy，because you have something else that cant be bought with money.When you meet with difficulties，you can say loudly you are very happy，because you have more chances to challenge yourself.So you cannot always say you are poor and poor and you have bad luck.As the saying goes，life is like a revolving(旋转的) door.When it does，it also opens.If you take every chance you get，you can be a happy and lucky person.12Those who have big houses may often feel _.Ahappy Blonely Cfree Dexcited13When you fall down in a PE class，both your teacher and your classmates will _.Alaugh at you Bplay jokes on you Cquarrel with you Dhelp you up14What will your friends say to you when you make great progress?AOh，so do I. BCongratulations. CGood luck. DIts just soso.15Which of the following is this passage about?ABad luck. BGood luck. CHappiness. DLife.EHow Can I Fight Laziness?Lazy people will never gain anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.16Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more positive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. 17Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. 18Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. 19Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.20Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.A. To fight family laziness, set an example.B. Knowing how to fight laziness is important.C. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.D. Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.E. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.F. Laziness appears when you no longer feel in charge of your own mind.G. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child.二、语法填空（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）The Lantern Festival, which falls on the 15th day of the first Chinese lunar month, 1. _ (mark) the finale of the Spring Festival, and with it, come rich Chinese traditions and joyful 2. _ (celebrate).At that night, people can see the full moon for 3. _ first time in a year.In Chinese, “yuan” literally means “first” and “xiao” refers to “night”.
