15.Most people who travel from China to the US find that,even though they have studied English for years,they have to"re-learn"it upon arriving.
Words that we learned in English classes are not pronounced the same way here.To truly be part of the"melting pot(大熔爐)",speaking English fluently(流利地)is not enough.You need an accent to stand out.
When I first came to the US for graduate school,I was a nervous foreigner.I felt so out of place that I wanted to hide everything about me that was"different".To talk like an American became one of my most important tasks.So I tried to copy the way native speakers talk and,over time,I made good progress.
Soon my American friends started to praise my English as having"almost no accent".At a conference in Washington DC,someone even said:"You speak with a Midwestern accent."
I took this as a sign of my success.People usually thought I was from California."Why California?"I would ask.They would reply:"Well,you certainly don't look American,but you don't talk like a Chinese person,so you are most likely from California.Most Asian Americans are from there."
Suddenly,conformity(一致) was no longer a compliment.(贊美) If I talk like an American,am I still Chinese?If I lose my Chinese accent,do I also lose my cultural identity(身份)?
Now I realize that a person's accent is a lasting record of their past cultural experience.An accent is often taken to mean that you haven't learned about a culture,when,in fact,it is a mark of one's experience of different cultures.
As a fourth-year student in the US,I am no longer a nervous foreigner.My nervousness has been replaced by strongly wanting to hold on to my cultural origins(出身).Now I always speak with a bit of a Chinese"accent".I do not wish to speak"perfect"English because I am proud of who I am.
66.Why does the author think people have to"re-learn"English upon arriving?(No more than 15words)
She thinks they need to learn an American accent.
67.How did the author feel when others praised her English?( No more than 5words)
She was proud of herself./She felt she was successful.
68.What is the author's most important job when she first came to the US?( No more than 10words)
To talk like an American was her most important job.
69.Why did the author decide to speak with a bit of a Chinese"accent"?( No more than 10words)
She wanted to keep some of her Chinese identity.
70.What is the article mainly about?( No more than 15words)
The author's changing attitude toward her Chinese accent..

分析 本文主要講述作者對(duì)漢語語音態(tài)度的轉(zhuǎn)變.

解答 66.She thinks they need to learn an American accent.
67.She was proud of herself./She felt she was successful.
68.To talk like an American was her most important job.
69.She wanted to keep some of her Chinese identity.
70.The author's changing attitude toward her Chinese accent.
66.She thinks they need to learn an American accent.細(xì)節(jié)題. 根據(jù)文章二 段Words that we learned in English classes are not pronounced the same way here. 可知作者認(rèn)為重新學(xué)英語的原因是我們學(xué)的與美國的語音不一樣.
67.She was proud of herself./She felt she was successful.細(xì)節(jié)題. 根據(jù)文章第 五段I took this as a sign of my success. 可知我把他們對(duì)我的贊揚(yáng)看成是我的成功.
68.To talk like an American was her most important job.細(xì)節(jié)題. 根據(jù)文章第三 段To talk like an American became one of my most important tasks.可知我最重要的工資就是像美國人一樣聊天.
69.She wanted to keep some of her Chinese identity.細(xì)節(jié)題. 根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第三 段If I lose my Chinese accent,do I also lose my cultural identity(身份)?可知作者留著一些中國的口音的目的是想保留自己的身份.
70.The author's changing attitude toward her Chinese accent.主旨大意題. 通讀全文可知本文主要講述作者對(duì)漢語語音態(tài)度的轉(zhuǎn)變.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做閱讀表達(dá)題時(shí),理清文章的脈絡(luò)、掌握文章的主旨大意,并能運(yùn)用簡潔的語言表達(dá).回答要有針對(duì)性觀點(diǎn)要明確.不要摘抄文章原句.
