“Hey, this is America, not China. I’ll get some 45 with or without Chinese.” I replied and turned to my mom for 46 .
“Remember to ask for fresh fish, Xin Xian Yu,” she said, handing over a $20 bill. I 47 the words, running downstairs into the streets of Chinatown.
I found the fish stand(摊位) surrounded in a group of customers. “I’d like to buy some fresh fish,” I shouted to 48 . But he took no notice of my English words and turned to 49 the next customer.

The Vieira family moved to the United States in 1981. At that time, they decided to stop speaking Spanish at home and only communicate in English. This was because they were now living in an English-speaking country.
Now the Vieira children are adults, and they sometimes travel to Spain to visit their family and friends. But they cannot communicate with them. Unfortunately this is common. When people move to new countries, they often leave their own customs and mother language behind. This is a mistake because there are many benefits to
2
knowing more than one language.
One advantage of speaking more than one language is that you can communicate directly with more people around the world. You do not have to depend on others to talk for you, so you’re more independent. People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate.
Furthermore, speaking a second language also allows people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively. Local expressions, vocabulary, and even jokes can have a powerful effect on a person’s understanding of another culture. So, knowing more than one language increases your knowledge of other cultures.
Finally, having more multi-language speakers improves relationships between countries. If people from different countries can communicate well, the world can become closer. Countries will then have more respect for each other and better understand each other’s problems.
The benefits of knowing more than one language are clear. In fact, there are no disadvantages. It is very sad that many people don’t try to learn another language. It is even worse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become silenced.
( )61. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The benefits of learning other languages.
B. The reasons why people come to America. C. The importance of learning English.
D. How to learn another language.
( )62. The passage begins with the experience of the Vieira family in order
to_______.
A. discuss the need for teaching a new language
B. introduce the passage’s main characters to the readers C. describe the advantages of moving to another country D. show the problems of speaking only one language
( )63. The phrase “multi-language speakers” means “people who know ______.” A. their mother language B. a new language C. more than one language D. body language
( )64. According to the passage, if you can speak more than one language, you
can____.
A. find a better job B. make more friends
C. better understand history D. communicate more independently ( )65. Based on the last paragraph, which of the following is the worst?
A. Not knowing another language. B. Forgetting one’s mother language.
C. Refusing to learn another language. D. Failing to communicate with others.
C
I’m Alfred. I was born with a problem in my backbone and mobility(行走能力)was a big challenge, but thanks to my teachers and friends, my school life was excellent.
My friends and I used to sit together and have lots of fun. Whenever we got a free period, we used to start shouting or play games. I would take part in all competitions,
3
such as poetry writing, story writing and painting and all activities like Teachers’ Day or anybody’s birthday and had much fun.
My English teacher was very tall. The moment she would enter the class, we would all sit quiet and open the books. She would encourage me by giving me important assignments and also morning news to read during the assembly(集会). She would come down and hear my English debate(辩论), which made me take part in all debate competitions.
The same was true of my biology and science teacher. She was very nice and sweet. She would always give me extra information on the biology project. I could not go to the lab for the practicals (lessons or exams in science, cooking etc. in which you have to do or make something yourself rather than write or read about it), so she would bring the lab down and help me with the biology and science practicals and would give me excellent marks.
My friends made me monitor and the naughty boys listen to me. My friends used to help me with my notes if I was absent. My teachers always gave me important project work and I felt proud when they patted me on the back after I finished it quickly and correctly.
I was never shouted at or made fun of or scolded(批评) by any of my friends and teachers. Today I saw the terrible punishments given to students on television news. I felt very sad.
I really want to express my love and thanks to all my wonderful teachers and friends, without whom my school life would not have been so excellent and unforgettable. I really pray to God that each child in the world is blessed with caring teachers and wants to attend school every day.
( )66. Alfred’s problem in his backbone _________ . A. made him have fewer friends than others

In China, I had English classes five times a week since fifth grade. However, I didn’t know how d 77 textbook English could be from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School.
When I first studied English, I was told to say “I am fine.” when people say “How are you?” But in the US, I f 78 that people say, “I am good.” or “I’m tired.” One day, someone g 79 me with “What’s up?” It made me confused. I thought for a m 80 and then smiled because I didn’t know what to say.
Since then, I have discovered more and more differences b 81 Chinese and US cultures. To my surprise, US girls s 82 a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan(晒黑). However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler, or “whiter.” I was also s 83 by how hard-working US students are.

The kids here are so t 85 , I am starting to be sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports.
