1、Unit 1 ( DCDADDBCADDDDCB )Language is a way to communicate with each other. We started to learn language when we were born. However, people are used to speaking their native language, so immigrants are having many problems between the first generation and the second generation because they dont have
2、 the same native language. Also, the second generation is losing their identity. Especially in America, there are many immigrants that came from different countries to succeed in the States. Because they suffer in lots of areas such as getting a job and trying to speak English, they want their child
3、ren to speak English, not only at school, but also at home in order to be more successful. Because of this situation, their children are losing their ethnic identity and, even more, they are ignoring their parents whose English is not very good.I think most immigrants are trying to preserve their na
4、tive language in their new country, but this doesnt help very much in getting a good job. My aunt didnt teach Korean to her children in order to help them succeed in the US; she did so, hopefully, to help them establish a Korean identity. Though the second generation is born in the new country, they
5、 often get confused about their identity. My cousins told me that when they visited Korea a few years ago, they felt different from other Koreans. They could even feel it just strolling around the street because they wore different clothes.We must realize that language is important and valuable for
6、many reasons. Immigrants should make an effort not to be ignored by their children and to make their children understand their heritage by teaching them the parents language. This is important in helping the second generation establish their identity. 1. Which people are having trouble with language

10、 words caused trouble for a man who wanted to fly from Los Angeles to Oakland, California. His problems began at the airport in Los Angeles. He thought he heard his flight announced, so he walked to the gate, showed his ticket, and got on the plane. After flying for twenty minutes, the man began to
11、worry. Oakland was north of Los Angeles, but the plane seemed to be heading west, and when he looked out his window all he could see was ocean. Is this plane going to Oakland? he asked the flight attendant (服务员). The flight attendant was shocked. No, she said. Were going to Auckland-Auckland, New Ze
12、aland.English is not the only language with similar-sounding words. Other languages, too, have words that can cause mistakes, especially for foreigners.Auckland and Oakland. When similar-sounding words cause a mistake, probably the best thing to do is just laugh and learn from it. Of course, sometim
13、es its hard to laugh. The man who traveled to Auckland instead of Oakland didnt feel like laughing. But even that mistake turned out all right in the end. The airline (航空公司) paid for the mans hotel room and meals in New Zealand and for his flight back to California. Oh well, the man later said, I al
14、ways wanted to see New Zealand. 6. The main topic of this passage is _. A. mistakes made by people in airports B. troubles experienced by foreigners in a new country C. difficulties had by people when taking a plane D. problems caused by words that sound alike 7.

17、eak clearly and slowly D. to laugh and learn from it Yinlan looked at the people sitting around the table and smiled with satisfaction. Everyone in her family was thereher children, her grandchildren, and her new great-grandson, just one month old. Her whole family had come to celebrate the Harvest
18、Moon Festival (节日).Two days after the Harvest Moon Festival, Yinlan died peacefully in her sleep. Her family was sad but at the same time grateful. They felt happy that they had been able to celebrate the Harvest Moon Festival with her one last time. Everyone said it was remarkable that Yinlan had d
19、ied just two days after the holiday.Actually, the timing of Yinlans death was not remarkable at all. Recently sociologists (社会学家) studied the death rate among elderly Chinese women in California. They discovered that the death rate drops 35 percent before the Harvest Moon Festival and then rises 35
20、percent. Sociologists believe that these changes in death rate show the minds power over the body. The Harvest Moon Festival, when families gather, is important to elderly Chinese women. Apparently some women are able to postpone (推延) their deaths so that they can celebrate the festival one last tim
21、e.The idea that people can postpone the time of their deaths is not new. Many families tell stories of a relative who held on to life until after an important event. The stories people tell, however, are just that: stories. They are not proof that people can postpone their deaths. The sociologists w
22、ork is important because the sociologists studied facts, not stories. The factsthe drop and rise in death ratesprove that people really can postpone their deaths.11. When did Yilan die? A.

25、tories of putting off death. 15. What provides us with proof? A. The stories of family members. B. The numbers showing death rates. C. The important events. D. The postponing of death. Unit 3 (BABAC ABCDB BBACD)So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue
26、 to undertake things for children that children can only do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do th
27、e impossible.Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is als
28、o a public activity: it can be seen and observed.Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public examination.If teacher and learner r
29、oles are distinguishable, how can teaching aid the child in the quest for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children.When the roles of teacher and learner a
30、re seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learn
31、ing to read by reading. 1. The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that _. A. it is one of the most difficult school courses B. too much time is spent in teaching about reading C. students spend endless hours in reading D. reading tasks are assigned with little gui
32、dance 2. The teaching of reading will be successful if _. A. teachers can enable students to develop their own way of reading B. teachers can improve conditions at school for the students C. teachers can devise the most efficient system for reading D. teachers can make their teaching activities obse
33、rvable 3. The word examination at the end of Paragraph 3 most probably means _. A. inquiry B. observation C. control D. suspicion 4. According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when _. A. children become highly motivated B. teacher and learner roles are identical C.
34、 teaching helps children in the search for knowledge D. reading enriches childrens experience 5. The main idea of the passage is that _. A. teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to read B. teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possible C. reading abilit
35、y is something acquired rather than taught D. reading is more complicated than generally believed Society usually tends to focus on the negative side of inner-city schools. Many people like to stereotype (模式化) these schools which, while these general statements may be true in some cases, tend to be
36、worse most of the time. People think that the students of these schools receive inferior educations. My school, an inner-city school named St. Ignatius, is regarded as one of the best in the state. People also believe that violence occurs on a daily basis, both in the school itself and in the nearby
37、 city. I cannot even remember a serious fight at St. Ignatius. People who think that the teachers at inner-city schools lack love for their job worsen this typical stereotype even further. My teachers not only had a love for teaching, but they were also able to cultivate a love for learning in their
38、 students.Take Mrs. Borroni, my Spanish teacher, for example. She would often take time out of her class to tell her students about the numerous activities after class with which we should get involved. She loved her job so much that she stayed after school every day to moderate activities such as A
39、mnesty International (an international organization that protects human rights) and the Spanish Club. Her students, including me, joined all of the clubs which she moderated just because she made them so interesting.After reading all of this, most people would argue that St. Ignatius should not be c
40、onsidered a true inner-city school. While this may hold some truth, I am arguing that my life was greatly enriched simply because of the schools location in the middle of Cleveland, as opposed to a poor suburban area.6. What do people often think negatively about? A. Inner-city schools. B. Stereotyp
41、es. C. St. Ignatius. D. Violence. 7. What can the author never remember seeing at St. Ignatius? A. Amnesty International. B. A serious fight. C. A Spanish club. D. Inferior students. 8. What would Mrs. Borroni do after school? A. Give Spanish classes. B. Tell students about activities. C. Guide stud
42、ents in special groups. D. Help students love learning. 9. Why might a reader of this article not view St. Ignatius as a real inner-city school? A. It is not in the middle of the city. B. It is in a poor suburban area. C. It enriched the authors life. D. It might be better than others. 10. How does
43、the author feel about inner-city schools? A. The stereotypes about them are not at all true. B. They are not necessarily all bad, as they can be good. C. They are much poorer than those in the suburbs. D. The students there are more enlightened. Before going to high school, I had a very simple view
44、of life. I usually did not think about the subjects of crime, poverty, or homelessness. As far as I knew, these things did not exist. The area around my school forced my eyes open as early as the first day of school. On the long bus ride through the city, I saw homeless dogs walking the streets. I a
45、lso clearly recall seeing a homeless person picking through a trash can for the first time ever. The poverty of the area around my school made me see how truly lucky I was. I now began to appreciate everything which had been handed to me in life. In the long run, this led me to put a lot more faith
46、in God because of all that He had given me. I started going to religious services more often. This also indirectly led to my involvement in the community around the school.Students lives become enriched simply by attending an inner-city school. When a person is exposed to city life, many different a
47、dvantages can be gained. For someone who had lived in the suburbs all his life, such as myself, a new style of living can be experienced. This alone expands ones views of life in general. The religious aspect of my life grew, I was easily able to get involved in community service projects, and I bec
48、ame much more aware of the dangers which exist in the city. Going to school in the city helped me to overcome the simple views I once had, and I am now better prepared to take on the challenges which await me in life. 11. What sort of school does the author go to? A. A religious school. B. A high school. C. A community school. D. A s
