When I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother's Chinese English. Because of

her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.

My mother has realized the disadvantages of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she. I was forced(强迫) to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人). I said in a voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs Tan.” And my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly, “Why he doesn't send me the cheek. It's already two weeks late.”

And then, in perfect English I said: “I'm getting rather anxious .You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn't arrived.” Then she talked more loudly. “What does he want? I'll come to New York and say it in front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can't accept any more excuses. If I don't receive the check at once, I have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”

The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English. When I was a teenager, my mother's broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother's English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is clear and direct. It was the language that helped me form the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.

( ) 56. Why was the author's mother poorly served?

A. They thanked the stockbroker.

B. They failed to get the check.

C. They went to New York at once.

D. They spoke to their boss at once. ( ) 59. What does the author think of her mother's English now?

A. It confuses her.

B. It embarrasses her.

C. It helps her understand the world.

D. It helps her forgive(原谅) rude people. ( ) 60. What can we infer from the passage?

(C)

A report from the United Nations said that around 60 million people across the world, with 80% of them in Asia, are drinking polluted water. Some 4,500 children die every day because of polluted water.

A report showed that environmental problems kill 3 million children under five years old each year, making them one of the key contributions(贡献) in more than 10 million child deaths worldwide each year. Dangerous factors include indoor and outdoor air pollution, water pollution,

lack of good hygiene facilities(卫生设施) and poor ecological(生态的) systems, it said.

Another study showed that parents and experts from seven countries including the United States, India and Nigeria, regarded pollution as the biggest threat to children's natural living environment.

Many parents say that children today are being brought up with fewer blue skies than when they were little kids. Mrs. Green tries to teach her daughter Susan by setting a personal example. She picks out recyclable waste and uses the water from the washing machine to wash the toilet.

Chinese children mostly learn about environmental protection in school. Some non-governmental organizations and child centers also teach kids to protect the environment. “More parents have become aware of it. Family is now playing a more important role,”says a Chinese official. Vera Lehmann, an expert from Germany says many Chinese are increasingly aware of polluted. “I was surprised to find how much schools in China are willing to contribute to educating the children on environment,” Lehmann said.“There has been a big change between now and ten years ago when I first traveled here.”

( ) 61.What is the main cause of child deaths?

A. Polluted water.

B. Poor ecological systems.

C. Environmental problems.

D. Indoor and outdoor air pollution.

( ) 62. How many dangerous factors are mentioned in the article?

A. Three.

B. Four.

C. Five.

D. Six.

( ) 63. From the example of Mrs. Green , we can know that she is a woman who_________.

A. takes good care of her daughter.

B. is strict with her daughter.

C. likes housework very much.

D. pays much attention to recycling.

( ) 64. Which is right according to the article?

A.80% of the people in Africa are drinking polluted water.

B. The government now plays a more important role in protecting the environment.

C. Not only developed countries regarded polluted as the biggest threat to children's

natural living environment.

D. Vera Lehmann thinks China still pays no more attention to the poor condition as

usual.

( ) 65. What's the best title of the article?

A. Children today are in poor families.

B. Teaching children to stay green.

C. Children died of pollution.

D. The biggest problem in the world.

(D)

When you’re packing for an adventure(冒险), what’s the most important thing you’ll need? If you don’t want to get lost, you’ll need a map! Or better yet, a GPS. What about other animals, how do they know where they’re going?

While humans depend on technology to travel, some animals have something better. Researchers, mainly from Oregon State University, US, found that Chinook salmon(鲑鱼) have a “built-in GPS” of the Earth’s magnetic field(磁场). This means as soon as they are born they are able to direct themselves in the ocean. It acts like a big map inside their brain.

Scientists placed some baby salmon into a big swimming pool. To simulate the Earth’s magnetic field, the put magnetic coils(线圈) all around the pool. Then, by changing the direction of the coils, the salmon began to change their own direction. They started to face in the direction of their ocean feeding area. This is a safe place in the ocean where salmon can find food to eat.

When the scientists changed the coils to the opposite side, the salmon also turned in the opposite direction. Just by using their “built-in GPS”, the salmon were able to find out the direction of their feeding area.

How did Chinook salmon get their “built-in GPS”? The scientists believe that their navigation(导航) skills came through evolution(进化). The fish that were able to reach the feeding area lived longer. Then they could pass on their navigation skills to their babies. So if you’re ever lost and in need of some help, maybe you should ask a salmon to point you in the right direction! ( ) 66. According paragraph 2, Chinook salmon___________.

A. have their own magnetic field

B. learn directions from their mother

C. can find directions in the ocean

D. have the same navigation skills as humans ( ) 67. What does the underlined word “simulate” in paragraph 3 probably mean?

A. 模拟

B. 学习

C. 利用

D. 改变

( ) 68. The passage mainly talks about _________.

A. the wide use of the GPS

B. the evolution of the Chinook salmon

C. the research of ocean life

D. Chinook salmon and their built-in GPS

( ) 69. The passage is probably from__________.

A. a love story

B. a science report

C. an advertisement

D. a guide book ( ) 70. Which statement is TRUE?

A. Humans also have “built-in GPS”.

B. A salmon has a big map inside its brain.

C. A baby salmon isn’t able to direct itself in the ocean.

D. The salmon are able to find out the direction of their feeding area.

71 Here are some predictions: things to come, things to go.

The Spring Festival, the most important Chinese holiday when everyone returns home, has caused headaches for millions of Chinese. More than 2 billion people travel at the same time, making getting travel tickets and the journey difficult. 72 China plans to build more than 120,000 kilometers of railway and a fast transportation network that will serve 90% of the population by 2020.
