Ⅲ.閱讀理解
A
“Long time no see.” is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence from an American friend's e-mail, I laughed. I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish.
Obviously, it is a word-by-word literal translation(直譯) of the Chinese greeting with wrong English grammar! Later on, my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting. I was too surprised to believe her. Her words were unbelievable at all. So I did research on Google. To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages involving “Long time no see.” Though it is sort of informal, it is part of the language that Americans use daily. Interestingly, if you type this sentence in Microsoft Word, the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.
Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence. Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan's movies. In the 1930s, Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a worldwide famous Chinese detective(警探) named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens. Detective Chan liked to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by citing Confucius. “Long time no see.” was his symbol. Soon after Charlie Chan, “Long time no see.” became a popular expression in America thanks to the popularity of these movies.
Some scholars compare America to a huge melting pot. All kinds of cultures are mixed in the pot together, and they change the color and taste of each other. Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed pot.
You can have some examples from other countries, such as pizza from Italian, sushi from Japanese, and déjà vu from French, etc. There is a long list! Since Americans admire Chinese culture more and more nowadays, I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future. In this way, the American's melting pot keeps adding richness.
1.What did the writer himself feel surprised at
A.The Chinglish expression “Long time no see.”
B.So many literal translations of the expressions used in America.
C.“Long time no see.” is used as a standard American English greeting.
D.Finding out that Americans use the expression every day.
2.What do the underlined words “melting pot” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A.Confucius's words.　B.Cultural fusion.　C.A kind of cooked dish.　D.American changing cultures.
3.What can be inferred from the passage
A.Detectives translated the phrase “Long time no see.”
B.Cultures cannot be changed in the huge melting pot.
C.The huge melting pot greatly affects all kinds of languages.
D.Hollywood made “Long time no see.” popular.
4.What is the main idea of the passage
A.American English keeps being enriched by different cultures.
B.Americans have a strong interest in Chinese culture.
C.Some American expressions can be used in China.
D.Some Chinese expressions are introduced into English.
B
No high school exchange student chooses the small town in the Midwest over California or New York City, but Ole has enjoyed this and I don't think he regrets it anyway. It has been a good adventure for us and I think for him too.
Ole's stay was inspiring, entertaining, and fun. We enjoyed his time here and have learned almost as much as he has. He is a very well-rounded kid with many experiences, a very good understanding of America, and speaks English very well. He and we now take many of the things he initially was amazed by for granted. It has been fun watching him experience a lot of these.
He got to experience playing soccer for his school. We went to many games and he was fortunate enough to have a coach and team that were kind enough to a new kid and gave him much playing time.Since they had had no school sports before, the whole concept of having your classmates cheer for you at regionals and fans watching the games, let alone having it on TV, was a huge thing for him.The team also gave him a bunch of immediate friends and acquaintances. He liked being able to go to the high school basketball and football games too. He also got to go to several of the school dances, a thing they don't do in his hometown.
We do feel fortunate to have had a kid who made an effort to get out and meet people, ask for rides, but was careful about whom he hung out with. Our three kids did not meet any high school exchange students that were as well known in the school or as well liked and accepted as Ole had been.
We do expect that this hosting experience is the start of a lifelong relationship.
5.What does the underlined word “We” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A.High school students.　　　B.Exchange students.
C.The host family.　　　D.Team coaches.
6.What was a brand new experience for Ole
A.Attending school dances.　　　B.Competing in games.
C.Hanging out with friends.　　　D.Watching live telecasts.
7.What does the author think about Ole's stay
A.It is adventurous.　　　B.It is a win-win experience.
C.It leads to misunderstandings.　D.It contains both fun and regret.
8.What is the purpose of this text
A.To express appreciation.　　　B.To compare different cultures.
C.To advertise a good service.　　　D.To share a unique experience.

6.which　考查定語從句。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,設空處引導非限制性定語從句,且在從句中作主語,先行詞指物,因此應用關(guān)系代詞which來引導。
7.globally　考查副詞。設空處作狀語,因此應用副詞。故填globally。

Ⅲ. A
◎語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了美國英語不斷被不同的文化豐富的社會現(xiàn)象。
1.C　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“Later on, my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting. I was too surprised to believe her.Her words were unbelievable at all.”可知,作者感到驚訝的是“Long time no see.”被用作標準的美國英語問候語。故選C。
2.B　詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第四段中的“Some scholars compare America to a huge melting pot. All kinds of cultures are mixed in the pot together”可知,一些學者把美國比作一個巨大的熔爐,所有類型的文化都在爐中融為一體。由此推測畫線的melting pot表示“文化融合”,與B項意思一致。故選B。
3.D　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的“In the 1930s, Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a worldwide famous Chinese detective...Soon after Charlie Chan, ‘Long time no see.’ became a popular expression in America thanks to the popularity of these movies.”可推知,好萊塢讓“Long time no see.”流行了起來。故選D。
4.A　主旨大意題。通讀全文,尤其是根據(jù)第四段“Some scholars compare America to a huge melting pot.All kinds of cultures are mixed in the pot together...Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed pot.”可知,本文主要介紹了美國英語不斷被不同的文化豐富這一現(xiàn)象。故選A。

【熟詞生義】　type v.輸入
長難句
原句　Since Americans admire Chinese culture more and more nowadays, I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future.
分析　本句為主從復合句。Since引導原因狀語從句;主句中,believe后面是省略了that 的賓語從句。
譯文　因為美國人現(xiàn)在越來越欣賞中國文化,我相信將來會有更多漢語變成美國英語。
B
◎語篇解讀　本文是一篇記敘文。作者一家是高中交換生Ole的寄宿家庭,文中描述了Ole在學校的生活以及作者對Ole和這次寄宿經(jīng)歷的看法。
5.C　詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞后的“enjoyed his time here and have learned almost as much as he has”和最后一段“We do expect that this hosting experience is the start of a lifelong relationship.”可知,作者一家是Ole的寄宿家庭,他們很享受他在這里的時光,所以畫線詞指的是“寄宿家庭”。故選C。
6.A　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句“He also got to go to several of the school dances, a thing they don't do in his hometown.”可知,他還參加了幾場學校舞會,這在他的家鄉(xiāng)是沒有的。由此可知,對Ole來說,參加學校舞會是全新的體驗。故選A。
7.B　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句“It has been a good adventure for us and I think for him too.”、第二段第一句“Ole's stay was inspiring, entertaining, and fun.”、第三段第一句“He got to experience playing soccer for his school.”和最后一句“He also got to go to several of the school dances, a thing they don't do in his hometown.”、第四段第一句中的“We do feel fortunate to have had a kid”等內(nèi)容可知,作者認為Ole的到來為他們的家庭帶來了正面的影響,而Ole也從中接觸到很多不一樣的東西,所以作者認為Ole的寄宿是一段雙贏的經(jīng)歷。故選B。
8.D　推理判斷題。通讀全文可知,作者描述了Ole的交換生生活,贊揚了Ole美好的品格,最終Ole和寄宿家庭合作愉快,各有所得,所以作者把經(jīng)歷和體驗寫了出來。由此判斷,這篇文章的目的是分享這次獨特的經(jīng)歷。故選D。
【高頻詞匯】　1.exchange n.交換;交流 v.交換;交流;交易;兌換　2.inspiring adj.鼓舞人心的　3.entertaining adj.有趣的,使人愉快的　4.take...for granted認為……是理所當然的;對……不予重視　5.fortunate adj.幸運的　6.let alone 更別提
【差距詞匯】　well-rounded adj.人格完滿的;全才的;全面的
長難句
原句　We do feel fortunate to have had a kid who made an effort to get out and meet people, ask for rides, but was careful about whom he hung out with.
分析　這是一個主從復合句。主句中,do feel是對謂語進行強調(diào);who引導的定語從句修飾先行詞kid;whom引導的賓語從句作介詞about的賓語。
譯文　我們的確感到幸運有過這樣一個努力出去結(jié)識人們,請求搭車,但注意和誰一起閑逛的孩子。
