Nodira, 18, lives in the Tashkent region of Uzbekistan. She was born with a rare disease and is now paralyzed(癱瘓) from the waist down. Her life is confined to a wheelchair but her dreams know no such boundaries. Her hopes for the future include attending university, riding in her father’s car and being able to walk like other children.
Nodira, which means ‘unique’ in Uzbek, is one of five children in a poor family. Every morning, after reciting her prayers, Nodira feeds the hens and goats from her wheelchair. The rest of her day is spent knitting for other people and helping her mother with the household chores.
Nodira has never been to school because it is too far from her home and inaccessible for her wheelchair. A local teacher used to come and tutor her at home and, as a result, she was able to finish third grade. After that, her parents moved to another town and the tutor could not visit as much.
Despite the many difficulties in Nodira’s life she is lucky to be living with her family. The stigma(羞辱) attached to the children living with disabilities, combined with the lack of wheelchair access in schools and the economic difficulties faced by many Uzbek families, have led many parents to place children with disabilities in special institutions.
These days, Nodira does homework exercises at home and reads as much as she can. Still, it is unlikely that she will be able to finish her primary education, much less attend university. While missing out on an education is a great disappointment to Nodira, her greatest wish, for a true friend, can still come true. “What I want more than anything is a friend who also has a disability,” she says. “Somebody will not feel sorry for me or make fun of me, and will understand what my life is like.”
小題1:The underlined sentence in the first paragraph probably means “_____”.
A．her dreams will help her desert her wheel chair
B．her dreams are never limited by her disability
C．she often dreams of moving freely without a wheel chair
D．she never dreams of recovering from her disability
小題2:Nodira does all the following every day EXCEPT _____.
A．give food to some animals
B．to make clothes from woolen or cotton thread
C．drive cars designed for the disabled
D．help with the housework
小題3:The underlined word “tutor” in the 3rd paragraph can be replaced by “_____”.
A．educateB．visitC．treatD．comfort
小題4:What Nodira wants most is ______.
A．to go to universityB．to walk on her own feet
C．to finish her primary educationD．to find a true friend

I am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language — the way it can evoke（喚起） an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them all — all the Englishes I grew up with.
Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, I've been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as "broken" English. But I feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than "broken", as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked certain wholeness. I've heard other terms used, "limited English," for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including people's perceptions(認識) of the limited English speaker.
I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother's "limited" English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.
I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I won't get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for a lack of a better term might be described as "broken", and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal (內(nèi)在的) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure: I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show; her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.
46. 小題1:By saying "Language is the tool of my trade", the author means that ______.
A．she uses English in foreign tradeB．she is fascinated by languages
C．she works as a translatorD．she is a writer by profession
47. 小題2:The author used to think of her mother's English as ______.
A．impoliteB．a(chǎn)musingC．imperfectD．practical
48. 小題3:Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?
A．Americans do not understand broken English.
B．The author's mother was not respected sometimes.
C．The author' mother had positive influence on her.
D．Broken English always reflects imperfect thoughts.
49. 小題4:The author gradually realizes her mother's English is _____.
A．well structuredB．in the old style
C．easy to translateD．rich in meaning
50. 小題5:What is the passage mainly about?
A．The changes of the author's attitude to her mother's English.
B．The limitation of the author's perception of her mother.
C．The author's misunderstanding of "limited" English.
D．The author's experiences of using broken English.

  The playwright George Bernard Shaw once said humorously, “England and America are two nations divided by a common language. If he were writing today, he might add ‘divided by a common technology--- e-mail’”.
Two completely different styles of e-mail have formed on either side of the Atlantic-Euromail and Amerimail. Americail is informal and chatty. It’s likely to begin with a “Hi” and end with a “Bye”. The chances of Amerimail containing a smiley face or an “xoxo” are disturbingly high. We Americans are unwilling to dive into the meat of an e-mail. We feel we have to first inform recipients (收信人) about our vacation on the island which was really excellent except the jellyfish were biting and the kids caught a cold, so we had to skip the whale watching trip, but about that investors’ meeting in New York. Amerimail is a bundle of contradictions, casual and yet direct, respectful yet over proud. In other words, Amerimail is America.
Euromail is stiff and cold often beginning with a formal “Dear Mr. X” and ending with a simple “Sincerely”. You won’t find any mention of kids or the weather or jellyfish in Euromail. It’s all business. It’s also slow. Your correspondent might take days even weeks to answer a message. Euromail is exactly like the Europeans themselves.
Recently about 100 managers were asked on both sides of the Atlantic whether they noticed differences in e-mail styles. Most said yes. Here are a few of their observations:
“Americans tend to write (e-mail) exactly as they speak.”
“Why don’t you just call me instead of writing five e-mails back and forth?”
“Europeans are less interested in checking e-mail”.
“In general, Americans are much more responsive to e-mail—they respond faster and provide more information.”
So which is better, Euromail or Amerimail? I realized it’s not popular these days to suggest we have anything to learn from Europeans, but I’m fed up with an inbox filled with casual, barely meaningful e-mails from friends and colleagues. If the alternative is a few earnestly written, carefully worded bits of Euromail, then I say, “Bring it on.”
小題1:What did George Bernard Shaw mean by saying “England and America are two nations divided by a common language”?
A．There is not much difference between British English and American English.
B．Both England and America speak the common language, so they are much the same.
C．Either England or America is a divided nation, though they share a common language.
D．There is sharp difference between England and America despite their common language.
小題2:Which of the following is most likely to be the “meat” of an Amerimail?
A．The jellyfish were biting.
B．We had an excellent vacation on the island.
C．We had to skip the whale watching trip.
D．We were to attend the investors’ meeting in New York.
小題3:On receiving an e-mail, Europeans tend to __________.
A．respond to it immediately and earnestly
B．take more time than Americans to respond to it
C．respond by calling up their correspondent
D．never respond to it all
小題4:What are characteristics of Amerimail?
A．Informal and chattyB．Casual and indirect
C．Stiff and coldD．Formal and direc60
小題5:We can conclude from the passage that __________.
A．the different e-mail styles do much harm to the relationship between the two sides on Atlantic
B．Amerimail is more appreciated by the writer for being informative and casually written
C．Euromail always impresses the writer as something more pleasant to read
D．the writer doesn’t favor either e-mail style as both have their own shortcomings

    On April twenty-second, some American children stayed out of school but they were not punished. They were with their parents. As Faith Lapidus tells us, it was Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day.
The Ms. Foundation for Women started the program seventeen years ago, in 1993. At first it was just called Take Our Daughters to Work. Gloria Steinem and other foundation leaders pointed to studies showing that self-image suffers as girls become teenagers. They can lose trust in their abilities and intelligence, especially in areas like science, math and technology. So the Ms. Foundation planned a day for parents in New York City to show girls all the possibilities for them in the professional world. But there was so much interest, the organizers decided to make it national.
At first, girls mostly followed their mom or dad around at work to learn about their jobs. Later, employers and schools began to offer organized activities. But from the beginning there were protests(反對) from parents and others about the exception of boys. So in 2003 the day was renamed Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work.
2007 was the last year that the Ms. Foundation for Women headed the program. Now, the event is run by a twelve-person group called the Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Foundation.
The event is connected with Mattel, the company that makes Barbie dolls.
Carolyn McKecuen is president of the foundation. She says a total of about thirty-three million children and adults are involved in the program. About one-third of the adults work at large companies or nonprofit organizations. Another third are in small businesses. The rest work in education.
Carolyn McKecuen says the numbers from this year's event are not final yet. But early reports suggest that participation was up at least ten percent from last year. And she says the foundation is hoping to find support to expand the program internationally. She says there are lots of requests from other countries for information about how to set up similar programs.
小題1:It was called Take Our Daughters to Work at first because ______.
A．girls are considered to be clever than boys
B．girls are considered to be more foolish than boys
C．girls aren’t confident in some areas as they becomes older
D．girls don’t want to learn some science subjects
小題2:Why was the day renamed as Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day later?
A．Because some parents were against only girls’ having the chance.
B．Because some parents wouldn’t like to take their daughters to work.
C．Because some employers were against parents’ taking their children to work.
D．Because some schools didn’t want to give any students’ time to leave school.
小題3:How many years did the Ms. Foundation for Women head the program?
A．17B．18C．14D．10
小題4:From this passage we can learn ______.
A．April twenty-second is a day for some American children to stay out of school for punishment
B．the Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day is a national in America
C．Mattel is the president of the foundation whose company makes Barbie dolls
D．Lots of other countries want to set up similar programs for parents and children
小題5:The last paragraph shows that ______.
A．the program becomes more and more welcome
B．the program will come an end without international support
C．the program has been copied by many other countries
D．Carolyn McKecuen wants more and more children to take part in the program

The 92-year-old, thin, calm and proud lady, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o’clock, even though she is nearly blind, moved to a nursing home today.
Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary. After many hours of waiting patiently in the hall of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready.
As she walked slowly to the elevator, I provided a true description of her tiny room, including the old sheets that had been hung on her window. “I love it,” she said with the happiness of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy.
“Mrs. Jones, you haven’t seen the room…just wait.”
“That doesn’t matter,” she replied. “Happiness is something you decide ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn’t depend on how the furniture is arranged. It’s how I arranged my mind. I have already decided to love it. It’s a decision I make every morning when I wake up. Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open I’ll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I’ve stored away.” She went on to explain, “Old age is like a bank account. You take what you’ve put in. So, my advice to you would be to put in a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories. Thank you for your part in filling my memory bank.” And with a smile, she said, “All my memories are happy ones.”

One morning I was woken by my mother’s angry voice. I opened my eyes and found it was seven forty , so jumped out of bed and rushed to a nearby bus stop without breakfast. Fortunately the bus started going as soon as I got on it. I was sure I could reach the school before the bell rang.
However, the bus suddenly stopped. There was something wrong with it and we had to get off and wait for another one. I felt I couldn’t wait and the school was only fifteen minutes’ walk, so I ran to the school as fast as possible. Just at this moment, it began to rain hard.

“It’s you again, Jim,” Mr. Smith said angrily. “I’ve told you not to be late, but you...” Then he suddenly stopped when he noticed my wet clothes.
