Ⅰ.阅读理解
ABursting into the classroom from recess (课间休息), 15 children take their seats and face the
woman they know as Ms. Yang.
“What day is it today？” she asks, in Mandarin Chinese (普通话)．
“Confucius' birthday！” the fifth graders shout in Mandarin.
“Why do we celebrate Confucius' birthday？”
“Because he's the greatest teacher in the history of China！” exclaims a brownhaired girl.
She is speaking Mandarin.
English is rarely heard in Lisa Yang's class at the Chinese American International School
(CAIS), despite the fact that few students are native speakers of Mandarin.
The United States is actively trying to increase the group of students in “critical languages”
such as Mandarin. The students at CAIS are way ahead in such a trend.
Founded 25 years ago, this small private school in San Francisco, USA, does what few other American schools do: It produces fully fluent speakers of Mandarin Chinese, by far the most
commonly spoken language in the world.
Mandarin Chinese is suddenly hot in American schools.
As China becomes the world's
leading economy sometimes this century, schools in the U. S. are scrambling to add Mandarin to
their list of foreign languages or expand Chinese programs already in place.
?It really is almost unprecedented (无前例的). People are looking at China as a force to be reckoned with... And to ensure that the U. S. has the ability to conduct trade, and to work with the Chinese, certainly having an understanding of Chinese language and culture is an advantage，” said Marty Abbott of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages(ACTFL)．
To develop Chineselanguage programs has not been smooth. A shortage of trained teachers
has made it difficult for some schools to join the race. When schools do get teachers, they often
hire them straight from China, and the teachers usually suffer culture shock when they come to the U. S.
Robert Liu remembers his first two years in an American classroom.
It was not an easy adjustment. ?In China, students respect their teachers，” he said.
Liu found that American students, however, expect an active teaching style. He had to use games to engage them rather than lectures.
To avoid many of the problems with foreign teaching styles, the CAIS has been working with the Chinese government to improve training of teachers who are sent to the U. S.
文章大意：本文为一篇说明文。随着中国经济地位的增长，美国的很多学校掀起了学习汉语的热潮。
1．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Understanding Chinese language and culture is helpful to work with Chinese.
B．Chineselanguage programs have met trouble during the development.
C．Many other American schools do the same as CAIS, founded 25 years ago.
D．A lack of trained Mandarin Chinese teachers is a problem for the programs.
答案：C 推理判断题。根据文章第八段第一句“Founded 25 years ago, this small private school in San Francisco, USA, does what few other American schools do...”可知，C项中“Many other American schools”表述错误。故答案选C。
2．What kind of problem is the most difficult to adjust in teaching Chinese in America?
A．To adapt themselves to the American life styles.
B．To communicate with the American students.
C．To get along well with the American students.
D．To be fit for the cultural differences in teaching styles.
答案：D 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段最后一句中的“the teachers usually suffer culture shock when they come to the U. S．”和倒数第二段内容可知，中国老师到美国任教时，遭遇到的最大问题就是文化冲击，由于教学风格的不同，老师们需要做出很大的调整。故答案选D。
3．The meaning of the underlined word “scrambling” is similar to
________.
A．climbing
B．rushing
C．changing
D．beating
答案：B 词义猜测题。根据第九段画线词上下句内容可知，画线词所在句的句意为：由于中国将会成为本世纪领先的经济体，很多美国学校正在加紧将普通话列入他们的外语名单当中或扩大现在已有的汉语项目。因此，画线词应为“加速，加紧”之意，故答案选B。
4．It can be learned from the passage that ________.
A．the students in Lisa Yang's class usually speak Chinese
B．there are few American students in Lisa Yang's class
C．we celebrate Confucius' birthday because he's the greatest history teacher
D．in America the students don't respect their teachers
答案：A 细节理解题。根据第六段中“English is rarely heard in Lisa Yang's class...”可知，在杨老师的课堂上很少用英语。A项表述正确。故答案选A。根据第五段的内容可知，C项错误；B、D两项在原文中没有涉及。故排除。
B
(2024·河南省七校联合考试) When it came to role models, Diana Ortiz said her mother, Marcia Dominguez, was the “hero”. Ms. Dominguez came to the United States from Cuba in 1979. She went to college and got a job as a social worker —
all the while raising three children in America mostly on her own.
“It was always school first，” Diana said, “My mom had us in a straight line. If we got out of line, she corrected us. She was a perfect woman. She was beautiful, she had the education and she had everything — but the illness took over. When I was 11, it frightened me to see how quickly my mother's health was ruined by cancer. A week before I turned 14, my mother died at age 50. I had tried to prepare myself, but on the first morning I woke up without my mother, the sense of loss was painful.”
Diana had not seen her father for five years, who refused to provide for her. Diana then entered the city's foster care system. She has spent about four years in foster homes.
Despite Diana's hard teenage years, the values her mother had planted in her mind inspired her to go after higher education. Since August 2010, she has been a fulltime student majoring in law. A public organization offers her tuition but she has parttime jobs to help people like her and earn more life experience. Her goal is a job in the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
For now, Diana works 20 hours a week as a cashier at Marshalls, earning D|S7.25 an hour. In November, she moved into her own public housing studio apartment on the Lower East Side. She pays D|S236 a month in rent. Although she is out of foster care, Diana has been speaking at workshops for foster youths. She emphasizes that nothing should get in the way of their success, not the trials of their lives or what they may have lost.
“I tell the young who have the similar experience like me, ‘Why are you going to let what happened to you affect you in the long run？’” Diana said, “ ‘Why are you going to sit there and feel sorry for yourself? You're wasting precious time.’ It is a message my mother would approve of. My mom taught me that everything is not given to you. You have to go out and get it.”
1.Which of the following words can be used to describe Ms. Dominguez?
A.Learned, independent and strict.
B.Positive, simple and graceful.
C.Hardworking, dependent and tough.
D.Kind, determined and lonely.
2.How did Diana grow up after her mother passed away?
A.She was provided for by a law institute.
B.She depended on foster care system.
C.She relied upon the people like her.
D.She supported herself by doing parttime work.
3.What made Diana go on with her education despite there are so many difficulties?
A.The sense of loss from her mother's death.
B.The eagerness to achieve success.
C.The deep influence of her mother's values.
D.The wish to win prizes to please her mother.
4.With provided tuition, Diana still works after school because she knows ________.
A.success comes with her own struggle and efforts
B.rich experience helps her find better jobs
C.her tuition will be increased sharply
D.nobody is perfect in the world

In the late 1990s, a family visited the school where I taught deaf students. They said they would be moving here and planned to send their deaf daughter to my school as a first grader. They were upset that their child’s kindergarten teacher told them not to have high hopes for her. The teacher painted a bleak (暗淡的) picture for their little girl’s future. Standing behind them was Katherine, a beautiful five-year-old with long hair and dark eyes. The whole time her parents were there she didn’t make a sound or use sign language, even when her parents asked her to do so.
After a few weeks with Katherine, I discovered I was dealing with a very bright child. Although I was able to make her join in different learning activities, writing was always a struggle. I tried all kinds of methods to interest her in writing. Every time the pencils came out, she would refuse to write.
One day Katherine got off her bus and stood in front of the school crying. The teachers there did not know enough sign language to ask her what happened. Finally they led her into the office where they handed her a pen and a piece of paper. Katherine wrote: “PAC BAK.” Immediately the teachers realized she left her backpack on the bus. They called the bus driver back to school and soon Katherine got her backpack back.
That day Katherine discovered the power of the pen. From then on she fell in love with writing. She is a young woman now and has become an excellent writer, public speaker and student leader.

On Punctuality
A punctual man is in the habit of doing everything at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment.
The unpunctual man, on the other hand, never does what he has to do at the proper time. 1.________ There is a proverb that says, “Time flies never to be recalled.” This is very true. 2.________Time is more valuable than material things. In fact, time is life itself, and the unpunctual man is forever wasting and mismanaging his own valuable assets as well as others'. The unpunctual man is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters, or to return calls, or to keep appointments promptly. 3.________ He knows that he can't get through his immense amount of work unless he faithfully keeps every appointment promptly and deals with every piece of work when it has to be attended to.
4.________ If a person is invited to a dinner and arrives later than expected, he keeps all the other guests and the host waiting him alone. This is great disrespect.
