第二节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）

阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从21～40各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。

Most people who travel from China to the US find that, despite having studied English for years, they have to “re-learn” it 16 arriving.

Words that we learned in English classes are not 17 the same way here. To truly be part of the “melting pot” , 18 in English is not enough. You need an accent to stand out.

When I first came to the US for graduate school, I was a 19 foreigner. I felt so out of place that I wanted to hide everything about me that was “ 20 ” . To talk like an American became one of my goals.

During my first term as a teaching assistant (TA), my students 21 they could not understand me. I learned later from a study that this complaint was 22 among US students with an international TA. It is called the “Oh, no!” syndrome (综合症): “Oh, no! Not another international TA, and not that 23 again!’’

So I imitated (模仿) the way 24 speakers talk and, over time, I made 25 good progress that American friends started to 26 my English as having “almost no accent’’. I took this as a sign of my success. Ever since, people have often 27 me for someone from many 28 : the Midwest, the West Coast, China, Japan, South Korea. Most frequently, people think I am from California.

But then suddenly, conformity (一致) was 29 a praise：If I talk like an American, am I still Chinese? If I lose my Chinese accent, do I also lose my cultural identity? Am I denying my past by being 30 into a new culture?

Now I 31 that a person’s accent is a permanent record of their past cultural experience and it is a 32 of one’s exposure to diverse cultures.

As a fourth-year student in the US，I am no longer a nervous foreigner．My nervousness has been 33 by a desire to hold on to my cultural 34 . Now I consciously add some Chinese “accent’’ when I speak. I do not wish to speak“ 35 ’’ English because I am proud of who I am.

16. A. before B. if C. from D. upon

17. A. put B. pronounced C. used D. understood

18. A. fluency B. sense C. quality D. interest

19. A. nervous B. stupid C. strange D. curiou

20. A. valuable B. different C. dangerous D. foolish

21. A. complained B. whispered C. told D. informed

22. A. interesting B. rare C. common D. special

23. A. accent B. trouble C. Chinese D. English

24. A. other B. native C. popular D. famou

25. A. so B. such C. much D. many

26. A. praise B. encourage C. criticize D. teach

27. A. regarded B. mistaken C. treated D. thought

28. A. countries B. cities C. states D. place

29. A. more than B. no longer

C. nothing but D. not as important a

30. A. melted B. joined C. absorbed D. connected

31. A. doubt B. regret C. notice D. realize

32. A. mark B. way C. fact D. matter

33. A. changed B. dropped C. replaced D. taken

34. A. origins B. beliefs C. knowledge D. understanding

35. A. poor B. Chinese C. perfect D. British

第二部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2.5分，满分50分）

阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。

A

Though we were poor and struggling, my sister managed to buy me a pair of “magic shoes” that changed my life.

Anne is six years older than me. Growing up, we were very poor, and my mother worked evenings at a factory in a small town. Not seeing my mother much, Anne took over much of the maternal support. During those teenage years, Anne was always there for me, not only as a big sister, but as a mother and my best friend.

When I was seventeen and had no money, I thought my only chance of going to college was if I could win a scholarship. I had an important interview for such an award. Anne at that time was struggling surviving on a part-time job. I told her of my interview, that General Motors was sending me a bus ticket, and I would get to visit the city for my scholarship interview. I was excited about the adventure and asked her advice on what to wear. I showed her my best outfit and how I planned to be careful, how I sat so that the hole in the bottom of my shoe would not be seen, but I wasn’t sure what I would do if it rained.

Anne suggested that we go shopping, and we took the bus to a store and we found a beautiful pair of leather shoes on sale. She told me to try them on, but I thought it was just for fun as neither of us had ever owned anything that expensive before. But this time was different. Anne handed me the boxed shoes and said, “Here, I’ll buy these for you.”

“But…” was all I could say.

“You deserve them,” she replied. “I want to see you get that scholarship.”

I went to the interview and crossed my legs so that my beautiful new shoes shone with pride. I won the scholarship and became an engineer. Now, after twenty years have passed, I still have that pair of shoes with me, and I just wear them on those little occasions when I need to feel special. It’s kind of like having magic ruby slippers when you’re homesick.

36. Why did the author say that Anne was like the author’s mother?

A. Because she took care of the author.

B. Because Anne was much older than the author.

（上接B7版）

C. Because Anne looked like the author’s mother.

D. Because Anne admired the author’s mother.

37. Anne suggested that they go shopping in order to ______.

A. buy a pair of new shoes for the author

B. buy a pair of new shoes for herself

C. repair the author’s poor shoe

D. try on different kinds of clothe

38. The interview was successful probably because ______.

A. the interviewers noticed her new shoes and liked them

B. the author looked especially beautiful wearing the shoe

C. the author was confident with the new shoes on

D. the shoes are a pair of “magic shoes”

B

Reading about history is nice, but finding ties to long-ago historical events in your own back yard is really exciting.

In their heavily populated area, neighbors Adam Giles, 13, and Derek Hann, 12, uncovered pieces of glass that looked quite different from what’s used today. “After digging about two feet down, I came across an interesting bottle,” Derek said. The bottle had a “pontil scar” on the bottom, an indication that it was hand-blown rather than machine made. It also had the name “Fraser” on one side.

Adam found remains of a green bottle and some very thick brown glass – again, far different from today’s.

After doing research on the computer, the boys contacted Aimee Wells of the county’s (县) Cultural Resources office. She showed them a computer program that digitally puts old maps over modern satellite photographs.

Bingo! Their back yards were once part of a military (军事的) encampment (营地) called Camp Alger used by Ohio soldiers on their way to fight in the Spanish-American War in 1898.

So how do a few bottles get connected to a brief war that was more than a century ago? “We get there by good judgment,” Wells said. “We know the time period of the bottles and what happened in that area.” Anyone can dig a hole, but archaeologists seek a deeper understanding. How do objects found relate to things around them?

When Derek and Adam realized that a soldier might have held that Fraser bottle 110 years ago, they wondered what he might have been thinking. What did he see as he looked around him? How did he pass the time waiting to go into battle?

Historical records show that while waiting for orders, the soldiers in and around Camp Alger played baseball, played instruments and walked seven miles to the Potomac River once a week for baths. A spread of strange fever forced the closing of the camp, and there are no buildings to study. “What’s left is only what’s in the ground,” Wells said.

Derek’s and Adam’s back yards have joined the 3,400 places listed on the county’s register of archaeological sites. The boys were given tips on how to dig effectively and safely, and on how to document the location of items found.

The official record of their finds serves as another piece of the puzzle for historians seeking to form a more complete story of what happened.

“Not everybody is going to have historical objects in their own yard,” Wells said. “That’s okay. Make your own time capsule and bury it. What would you want people to know about your life years from now?”

39. What is the passage mainly about?

A. What Adam Giles and Derek Hann found in their back yard and its relationship with an encampment.

B. How Adam Giles and Derek Hann dug out the remains of an ancient military encampment.

C. The great contributions Adam Giles and Derek Hann made to the cause of archaeology.

D. The tips on how to dig out ancient objects buried under the ground safely and effectively.

40. From the passage, we can see that the boys’ discovery ______.

A. includes all kinds of hand-made and machine-made gla

B. couldn’t have been meaningful without Aimee Wells’ help

C. has helped historians find out what happened in 1898

D. has added the county to the list of archaeologist site

41. When Wells said “We get there by good judgment.” (Paragraph 6), she meant that ______.

A. they have figured out how to get to the place where the brief war happened

B. they have established the ties to Camp Alger by finding out the time period of the bottle

C. they have managed to dig out the bottles in the back yard safely with common sense

D. they were able to locate the soldier who used the Fraser bottles 110 years ago

42. Which of the following fits the description of historical records?

A. The soldiers in and around Camp Alger delighted in playing basketball in their spare time.

B. When Camp Alger was forced to close, all the buildings there were destroyed.

C. The soldiers in and around Camp Alger often buried some bottles underground as time capsules.

D. Camp Alger was forced to close because of a spread of a strange fever.

C

This is a dangerous world we live in. The number of murders goes up every year, people are dying of cancer, more people contract (感染) HIV, more teens are using drugs, etc. You know this because you’ve heard all the statistics on the news and in the paper. But do you really have an accurate idea what they mean? The numbers are going up, but how do they compare to the growth in population? Are more cases of these diseases being reported because of better testing techniques, or are the diseases more common? The fact is that without knowing the background statistics mean very little.

This growing trend of reporting only part of the information is becoming dangerous. For example, several years ago a high school student reported the dangers of the chemical known as dihydrogen monoxide. This chemical, found in most cancerous tumors (肿瘤), is often found in the blood of people drunk on alcohol, and causes complete physical and mental dependence for those who take the chemical even once. After reading his report, more than 75% of his Advanced Placement Chemistry class voted to forbid this dangerous chemical! Every one of the above statements is true, yet this chemical is necessary to all life on earth. The students made the mistake because they voted knowing only a few statements and statistics, rather than the chemical’s full background.

The point of this article is that one should be aware of what is and is not being said. When one finds a new fact or number, one should try to consider other important information before forming an opinion with only half-truths. Always remember that the author is trying to convince you of his or her own view, and will leave out information that is different to his view. For example, look again at the statistics that suggest skiing is safe. Only 32 people may die each year when skiing, while 897 die from lightning strikes, but which is really the most dangerous? If you think about it, you realize far fewer people go skiing each year than the number of people who are in danger of a lightening strike. When you think about it, skiing is more dangerous than you might at first think when looking at statistics. If we teenagers are to be left in this world, we had better be able to think critically, and form our own views, rather than be easily persuaded by another’s. To be warned is to be prepared.

43. In the first paragraph, what problem does the writer want to warn us?

A. We are now living in a dangerous world.

B. We get a lot of false statistics from the media.

C. There are around us more and more murders, diseases etc.

D. Statistics alone without full background doesn’t give us an accurate picture of things.

44. Why does the writer use the example in the second paragraph?

A. To show the danger of reporting only part of the information.

B. To argue that high school students are easily persuaded.

C. To prove what is necessary to us might be dangerous.

D. To warn us of the harmful substance around us.

45. Relative information is often left out because _____.

A. relative information is not that important

B. the author is trying to show what he or she says is true

C. too much information will make readers feel confused

D. readers are not able to analyze so much information at once

46. What can we learn from the passage?

A. Some measures must be taken to protect our dangerous world.

B. We should learn to think critically and look at problems from all sides.

C. The growing trend of reporting only half-truths is getting out of control.

D. Teenagers ought to improve their ability of telling right from wrong.

Andrew Carnegie was a 19th century steel tycoon (大亨) who became one of the 20th century’s most famous philanthropists (慈善家). His life story is one of the most famous rags-to-riches accounts in United States history.

Carnegie was born in Dunfermline, Scotland, on November 25, 1835. The son of a weaver, he came with his family to the United States in 1848 and settled in Allegheny, Pennsylvania. At age thirteen, Carnegie went to work as a bobbin (线轴) boy in a cotton mill (纱厂). He then moved rapidly through a succession of jobs with Western Union and the Pennsylvania Railroad. In 1865, he resigned to establish his own business enterprises and eventually organized the Carnegie Steel Company, which started the steel industry in Pittsburgh. At age sixty-five, he sold the company to J. P. Morgan for $480 million and devoted the rest of his life to his philanthropic activities and writing, including his autobiography (自传).

Many persons of wealth have contributed to charity, but Carnegie was perhaps the first to state publicly that the rich have a moral obligation to give away their fortunes. In 1889 he wrote The Gospel (福音) of Wealth, in which he asserted that all personal wealth beyond what was required to supply the needs of one’s family should be regarded as a trust fund to be administered for the benefit of the community.

Carnegie set about giving away his fortune through innumerable personal gifts and through the establishment of various trusts. In his thirties, Carnegie had already begun to give away some of his fast-accumulating funds. His first large gifts were made to his native town. Later he created seven philanthropic and educational organizations in the United States, including Carnegie Corporation of New York, and several more in Europe.

One of Carnegie’s lifelong interests was the establishment of free public libraries to make available to everyone a means of self-education. There were only a few public libraries in the world when, in 1881, Carnegie began to promote his idea. He and the Corporation subsequently (随后) spent over $56 million to build 2,509 libraries throughout the English-speaking world.

After this program was ended in 1917, the Corporation continued for about forty years an interest in the improvement of library services. Other major programs in the Corporation’s early history included adult education and education in the fine arts.

During his lifetime, Carnegie gave away over $350 million. He died in Lenox, Massachusetts on August 11, 1919.

52. Carnegie became wealthy by ______.

A. his investment in weaving industry

B. his father’s financial support

C. starting his steel business from nothing

D. his philanthropic activitie

53. What is the correct order of events related to Carnegie?

a. He sold his company. b. He organized the Carnegie Steel Company.

c. He worked in a cotton mill. d. He came to the United States.

e. He wrote The Gospel of Wealth.

A. c, d, e, b, a B. c, b, a, d, e C. d, c, b, e, a D. d, b, a, e, c

54. Which of the following is TRUE about Carnegie?

A. He was the first wealthy person who contributed to charity.

B. He believed that it was the duty of the wealthy to help society.

C. He called on the wealthy to give away all of their fortune to help the poor.

D. He was willing to give personal gifts only to his friends and relatives.

55. Carnegie established public libraries in order to ______.

A. become famous B. earn more money

C. improve library services D. help people educate themselve
