on 8 January 1942 (300 years after the death of Galileo) in Oxford，England.His parents' house was in North London，but during the Second World War Oxford was considered a safer place to have babies.When he was eight，his family moved to St Albans，a town about 20 miles north of London.At eleven Stephen went to St Albans School，and then on to University College，Oxford，his father's old college.Stephen wanted to do mathematics，although his father would have preferred medicine.Mathematics was not available at University College，so he did Physics instead.After three years and not very much work he was awarded a firstclass honors degree in Natural Science.Stephen then went on to Cambridge to do research in Cosmology，there being no one working in that area in Oxford at that time.His supervisor was Denis Sciama，although he had hoped to get Fred Hoyle who was working in Cambridge.After gaining his Ph.D.he became first a Research Fellow，and later on a Professorial Fellow at Gonville and Caius College.After leaving the Institute of Astronomy in 1973 Stephen came to the Department of Applied Mathematics andTheoretical Physics，and since 1979 has held the post of Lucasian Professor of Mathematics.The chair was founded in 1663 with money left in the will of the Reverend Henry Lucas，who had been the Member of Parliament for the University.It was first held by Isaac Barrow，and then in 1663 by Isaac Newton.Professor Hawking has twelve honorary degrees，was awarded the CBE in 1982，and was made a Companion of Honour in 1989.He is the recipient of many awards，medals and prizes and is a Fellow of The Royal Society and a Member of the US National Academy of Sciences.36．Stephen W．Hawking went to the same college as ______at his teens.A．Galileo B．his father C．Isaac Barrow D．Isaac Newton37．Which of the following shows the right order of what happened to Hawking?a．He gained his Ph.D.b．He went to Cambridge.c．He was given a firstclass honors degree.d．He began to hold the post of Lucasian Professor of Mathematics.e．He went to St Albans School.A．ecbad B．aecdb C．aecbd D．cbdea38．According to the passage，Stephen W．Hawking had never spent much time studying ______.A．Cosmology B．Mathematics C．Physics D．Medicine39．Before Stephen Hawking went to Cambridge，______.A．there was no one studying cosmology in EnglandB．There was no one studying cosmology in OxfordC．There were only a few scientists studying cosmology in OxfordD．Cosmology is widely studied in BritainBV olunteer work plays an important role in America's high school education.A certain number of volunteer hours are a must for high schoolers.Great numbers of high school students are engaged in volunteer work for the purpose of having a promising future.V olunteer work is a critical part of college applications.In America，the perfect score is not the only factor to be considered in college admission which becomes more and more competitive.High school students are finding that whether they have impressive volunteer experience or not tends to be a key factor.Princeton University once enrolled a girl who successfully sold a large quantity of girl scout cookies(女童子军饼干)．Instead of selling cookies in front of supermarkets or from door to door，the girl walked into a big company and asked to see the CEO.Beginning from the good taste of her cookies，she explained how the money would be used to help poor children and how the company would benefit if he bought her cookies.At last，her courage and wisdom impressed both the CEO and Princeton University.V olunteering is a great preparation for future careers.Rather than picking a volunteer job randomly(随意的)，some high school students choose activities based on potential careers or majors.Kymberly Bays is a high school graduate.Five days after she had received her high school diploma(毕业证书)，she embarked on a journey to Africa for six weeks to be a volunteer teacher at a poor school.She also raised $1000 through a parttime job to buy textbooks for the school.Since Kymberly wants to be a foreign news correspondent，she said the trip to Africa would help her learn more about adapting to foreign places and see how others live.40．The underlined word “enrolled” in the passage most probably means ______.A．achieved B．admitted C．wanted D．dealt with41．A great quantity of high school students who are engaged in volunteer work aims to ______.A．have more work experience B．earn more moneyC．have a promising future D．learn about the society42．To support her idea，the author develops the passage mainly by ______.A．listing reasons B．using quotations C．making comparisons D．giving examples 43．What does Kymberly Bays want to be in the future?A．A teacher. B．A businessman.C．A reporter. D．A statesman.Ⅳ.任务型阅读How to be a good listenerEveryone loves a good listener.But there are more reasons to develop the skill of listening than to win hearts or popularity contests.Listening heals hurts and builds bridges.It gives us the ability to understand and empathize，to view the world from our own point.It can bring us wisdom over and above mere intelligence.But most importantly，it allows us to give the people around us the gifts they crave (渴望) most—a sense of worth.As it turns out，there's more to good listening than just keeping quiet and allowing someone to speak.Effective listening is actually a combination of two key communication skills：listening and verifying(确认)．Even when we've managed to hear a person's entire message，we often interpret it wrong—according to our own understanding，experience，or prejudice.As an effective listener，your goal is to hear and absorb what another has to say—in exactly the way they mean it to be understood.Only then can you respond properly.This is much easier read than done，so here are a few helpful tips.1．Give the speaker your full attention.Stop talking and remove all distractions.Turn off the TV，your phone，or computer.Watch your body language.The way you look at the speaker，or the way you stand or sit，makes a huge difference.The right listening body language communicates that we are listening openly and attentively，and puts the other person at ease.2．Be patient.Not everyone is a gifted speaker.Some people take longer to find the right word to make a point.Others are too worried to get their message across properly.If necessary，ask the speaker to explain further.It will help him/her speak more exactly and it will help you hear and understand better.3．Keep your emotions in check.If what someone is saying creates an emotional response in you，make an extra effort to listen carefully.When we're angry，frightened or upset，we often miss key parts of what is being said.4．Hold your fire.Don't jump to conclusions immediately.A good listener doesn't react until comprehension is complete.If you respond in a way that makes the other person defensive，even if y ou “win” the argument，you may lose something far more valuable.5．Even if you think you understand，VERIFY.Never assume you got the message right.Pause，think about what was said，and then ask “Is this what you meant？” or “Am I understanding this right？”6．Empathize.Take a moment to stand in the other person's shoes，to look at the situation from his/her point of view—especially when you're being told something personal or painful，or something you strongly disagree with.The more shoes you are able to successfully stand in within your lifetime，the less puzzled you'll find your life and relationships to be.44.______ of good listening ●45.______ hurts.●Building 46.______.●Allowing us to 47.______ and empathize，and viewing the world in an allround way.●Bringi ng us wisdom over and above mere intelligence.●48.______ the people around us feel worthy.Components of effective listening ●Good listening consists of two key communication skills：49.______ and verifying.50.______ to bea good listener ●Listening to the speaker 51.______.●Trying to be a 52.______ listener.●Avoiding being affected by your emotions.●Waiting before you take 53.______.●V erifying.●Empathizing.Ⅴ.书面表达根据图画内容，以“We Want Our Schoolbags Lighter”为题，用英语写一篇150词左右的短文。

Unit 4 The next step(满分：120分；时间：100分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)A【导学号：22380046】During the past Spring Festival，many children may have received red packets from their families.But Xing Pu，a 40­year­old economist，is asking the government to give red packets to every Chinese citizen.Xing suggested the government give out 1,000 yuan to each Chinese since the government income has increased rapidly in recent years.He said his suggestion would allow everyone to directly enjoy the fruits of the country's economic success，help the lower­income groups deal with rising prices and increase consumption(消费)around the country.Recent years have seen the government carry out a series of pro­poor(扶贫)and pro­rural(惠农)policies，including increasing spending on public healthcare and calling off the agricultural tax.But the lower­income group still needs more help while being hit hard by an 11­year high in prices and recent snowstorms.Xing said while making the draft，he has borrowed many ideas from practices in countries like the United States and Singapore.Earlier this year，the governments of the two nations offered cash handouts(救济)to their citizens as the result of a surplus in government income.As for in China，“We can even encourage the rich to donate their 1,000 yuan red packet to the poor，” said Xing.Although Xing's suggestion has gained wide support among ordinary Chinese on the Internet，many other economists criticized it as unpractical.Even Xing himself admitted he made the suggestion without any careful calculation.But they agreed with Xing's point that the growing economic pie should be shared among the people.“To better use the increase of money，handing out money is not a solution that holds good for all time.It could be better to improve the public service or cut the price of energy use in daily life，” said Qiao Xinsheng，an economic professor.【语篇解读】春节期间孩子会得到家人给的红包但40岁的经济学家也要求政府发给农民红包，从而引起了广泛的讨论。

The passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.Everyone wants some degree of success. Many people believe that they deserve(值得) success simply because they believe that they deserve success. But there is a widespread belief that people who get on in life may be successful not because they deserve it, but because of influential (有影响的) friends or the right background. Sometimes it may just be a comforting and harmless belief, while at the other extreme it can be very destructive.I once met a brilliant young engineer who worked in a chemical plant. Because of her knowledge and experience, she should have been promoted （升职） to Production Manager. Instead, the job went to a man who was totally unsuited for the post. Everyone knew that he only got it because he was politically acceptable to his superiors (上司). This injustice discouraged the young engineer and many of her colleagues（同事）. It alsomeant that the factory was much less efficient than it could have been.All the same, we should not be pessimistic (悲观的). More and more then modern world depends on having people who are in the job because they are good enough, not just because their faces fit. There is a story of a factory owner who sent for an engineer to see to a machine which would not go. He examined it, then took out a hammer and tapped, once. The machine started up immediately. When he presented his bill, the owner protested, “This can t be right! $100 just for tapping（敲打） a machine with a hammer ?” The engineer wrote out a new bill: “For tapping a machine, $1; for knowing where to tap， $99.”1. The engineer at the chemical plant was not promoted because_____ .A. it was politically less good for the boss to accept her than the manB. her boss did not think she had the right qualifications for the jobC. the man who got the promotion was more experienced than she wasD. it is more difficult for a woman to get a promotion than for her male colleague2. The engineer who repaired the machine was right in charging $ 100 because______ .A. he hit the machine to get it started againB. the factory owner could not have repaired it himselfC. he was charging for his knowledge and expert skillsD. he was the only person who could find out what was wrong with it3. What can we learn about the author s attitude toward the widespread belief that “people who get on in life may be successful not because they deserve it”?A. He quite agrees with it.B. He doesn't express his opinion at it.C. He completely disagrees with it.D. He doesn't quite agree with it.4. According to the text, which of the following is NOT true?A. Having influential friends or right background seems helpful sometimes.B. The engineer had good reason to overcharge the factory owner.C. Not all those who are good in their jobs have the chance to be promoted.D. Those who are good in their jobs are still largely needed by the modern society.Ⅲ.

Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Educating girls quite possibly brings in more good than any other investment(投资) available in the developing world.Parents in low-income countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution(贡献) to the family: girls grow up only to marry into other people's families and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and are kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school, which results in trapping women in a vicious circle(恶性循环) of neglect(忽略).An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces a completely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children, making sure that her daughters are given a fair chance. The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of that of boys, will be educated and healthy. The vicious circle is thus transformed(转换) into a virtuous circle.Few will argue that educating women has great social benefits(利益). But it has big economic advantages as well. Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages(工资) of female workers. Wages rise by 10 to 20 percent for each additional(增加) year of schooling.

In Kansas City, Missouri, a computer helps fire-fighters. The computer contains information about every one of the 350,000 street addresses in the city. When fire-fighters answer a call, the computer will give them important information about the burning building: its position, size, type and so on. In fact, the computer system has almost unlimited ways of helping fire-fighters with the problems facing them. For instance, it can give medical information about invalids(病残者) living in a burning building. With this information, the fire-fighters can take special care to find these sick persons and remove them quickly and safely.The Kansas City computer system also helps a medical record of each of the city’s 900 fire-fighters.This kind of information is specially useful when a fireman is injured. With this medical information, doctors at the hospital can treat the injured fire-fighters more quickly and easily.The fire-fighters themselves greatly appreciate the computer’s help. They know about possible dangers ahead of them and can prepare for them. Many times the computer information helps to save lives and property(财产), sometimes the lives are those of fire-fighters themselves!1.

promote open­minded thinking.Take hurried wake­up for example；in a study，researchers reported that imaginative (富于想象的) ideas are most likely to come to us when we're powerless and not focused.The brain conditions are at their weakest in these moments，allowing unexpected connections to be made.Sleepy people's “more outward moving thinking”leads th em to “widen their search” which leads to an increase in creative problem solving.By not giving yourself time to adjust your absent mind，you're missing the surprising solutions it may offer.The stress hormone(荷尔蒙) can harm certain physical parts that coat our brain cells.Damage to these parts slows down the speed with which signals are transported，making lightningquick “Find it！” moments less likely.A recent study found that subjects (被试者) who watched a sorrow­making video were less able to solve problems creatively than people who watched an upward video.A positive mood，wrote professor Ruby Nadler，increases “adaptability of recognition” while a negative one narrows our scope.So what should we do in mornings？We'd set the alarm a few minutes early and lie awake in bed，following our thoughts where they lead and writing down any creative thought.And once in the office，one of the right things to do is drink coffee.Caffeine(咖啡因) not only makes us more alert，but also increases the brain's level of positive hormone，which influences feelings of motivation and reward when we hit on a great idea.After we get that cup of coffee，we'd direct our computer browser not to the news of the day but to the funniest videos the web offers.Now there's YouTube­video of laughing ughing is a good way to start the day.36．We can infer from Paragraph 1 that most people may ________ in mornings.A．rush to make themselves awakeningB．promote open­minded thinkingC．do as experts tell them to doD．try to solve problems creatively37．In Paragraph 2 the author tells us that________.A．the stress hormone is a kind of skinB．the stress hormone coats our brain cellsC．sorrow­making videos are less capable than upward videosD．the stress hormone may damage certain physical parts38．What might as well we do in the morning?A．To set the alarm a few minutes earlier than working time.B．To lie awake in bed.C．To note the good idea that occurs to us while in bed.D．To lead to where creative thought exists.BYou've been waiting an hour to eat breakfast but your guests are still snoozing.“Unless you corrdinated(调整)a time for breakfast the evening before，let your guests sleep­in and enjoy your breakfast without them.If possible，keep their breakfast warm，or，better yet，when entertaining it's always a good idea to havecold breakfast (as well as lunch，dinner and snack)food on­hand.”You're hosting out­of­town friends for a couple of weeks.The husband is vegetarian (素食者) and the wife is a picky eater.Cooking for them is proving to be a strain on your budget and your nerves.“As a gracious host，you want to make sure and accommodate your guest's dietary needs，especially when they are related to health issues.Make an attempt to offer at least one dish based on his or her preferences.Those with special dietary needs are usually familiar with eating creatively.But if your guests get too picky or demanding，it is not necessary to break the bank.You can say ‘If you would provide the ingredients，I would be happy to follow the recipe’．”Your guest's teenage son is a Facehook addict and hogs your computer all day long.“If you have a guest whose fingers are fixated on your keyboard，kindly let him know that you are expecting work e­mail and give him enough time to finish using it.”Your visitors don't have a car and demand that you drive them everywhere.“If you've invited them，then you should at least offer to pick them up and return them to the airport.But draw the line there.It's time to remove your chauffeur's hat.If you have a second car not in use，you could offer them the keys after you confirm they are insured.Or，keep the chauffeur's hat on and offer to drive them to the nearest rental car agency due to their busy schedule.”39．What's the best title of this passage?A．How to deal with difficult house guests.B．How to host an out­of­town friend.C．How to rent a car when you're free.D．How to wait your guests to eat breakfast.40．When you have been waiting an hour to have breakfast while your guests are still sleeping，you can________.A．coordinate a time for breakfast from then onB．go into the guests' room and wake them upC．just enjoy your breakfast without them that dayD．keep their breakfast warm and enjoy your meal41．If your friend is a picky eater，then you can________.A．make sure of his/her health issuesB．try to offer one of his/her preferencesC．try making him/her eat “creatively”D．attempt to break your bank42．If your guests don't have a car，you should________.A．pick them up and return them to the airportB．remove your hat when returning your homeC．offer them your car if they are insuredD．drive them to the faraway rental car agencyCBy the middle of the 19th century，newspapers had become the primary means of providing and receiving information.The time between 1890 and 1920 is known as the “golden age”of the print media.The radio broadcast was widely used in the 1920's.Newspapers had to reevaluate their part as the primary information provider.Like the new media technology of today，the development of a low­cost and convenient media source produced results that radio would greatly affect the newspaper industry.In order to change this situation，editors spent a lot of time on the new design and at the same time more information and stories were added to newspapers.Hardly had newspapers adapted to radio when they began to reevaluate themselves because of a new and more powerful medium: television.Television became popular for the colorful pictures in it.Between 1940 and 1990，the sale of newspapers in America dropped from one newspaper for every two adults to one for every four adults.Some newspapers，like USA Today，started to use the short and quick stories that are usually featured on television.The technological development of today is creating new challenges and opportunities for traditional media.More and more websites are added to the Internet and almost any information can be found.The amount and rapidity of information on the Internet can be matchless，but it doesn't mean the end of the newspaper's existence.Newspapers in print remain a popular and powerful medium for the reporting.Thousands of people in the world read a newspaper every day!43．Radio had a great influence on the newspaper industry because________.A．it was cheaper and easier to receive information from radioB．many people were too poor to buy newspapers in the 1920'sC．nobody supported the development of the newspaper industryD．newspapers were not a primary information provider any longer44．USA Today is mentioned as an example to tell us________.A．it was a famous newspaper thenB．it had the most information at that timeC．some newspapers use some advantages of televisionD．television is a major means of media in the world45．We can learn from this passage that________.A．newspapers still play an important part in our lifeB．the “golden age” of the print media is in the 1920'sC．radio took the place of newspapers completely in the 1920'sD．newspapers can never catch up with the modern means or mediaDPoet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours(绕行路) in life than by the narrow road toward goals.I like this image.But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents' home in Boise in nine hours.We traveled the way most people do: the fastest，shortest，easiest road，especially when I was alone with four noisy，restless kids who hate confinement(限制) and have strong opinions about everything.Road trips felt risky，so I would drive fast，stopping only when I had to.We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.But then Banner，our lamb was born.He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise.I had two choices：leave Banner with my husband，or take him with me.My husband made the decision for me.That is how I found myself on the road with four kids，a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through.We took the country roads out of necessity.We had to stop every hour，let Banner shake out his legs and feed him.The kids chased him and one another.They'd get back in the car breathless and energized，smelling fresh from the cold air.We explored side roads，catching grasshoppers in waist­high grass.Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother，or fish leaping out of the water，it was better than the best ride down the freeway.Here was life.And new horizons (见识)．We eventually arrived at my parents' doorstep astonishingly fresh and full ofstories.I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique.On an empty section of road，everyone started quarreling.I stopped the car，ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead.I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight.But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journey—and the best part of yourself.46.Why did the author use to take freeways to her parents' home?A．It was less tiring.B．It would be faster and safer.C．Her kids would feel less confined.D．She felt better with other drivers nearby.47．The author stopped regularly on the country roads to ________.A．relax in the fresh airB．take a deep breathC．take care of the lambD．let the kids play with Banner48．What does the author discover from the trip according to Paragraph 6?A．Freeways are where beauty hides.B．Getting close to nature adds to the joy of life.C．Enjoying the beauty of nature benefits one's health.D．One should follow side roads to watch wild animals.49．Why did the author ask the kids to get out of the car on their way back home?A．To give herself some time to read.B．To order some food for them.C．To play a game with them.D．To let them cool down.50．What could be the best title for the passage?A．Charm of the DetourB．The Road to BraveryC．Creativity out of NecessityD．Road Trip and Country LifeⅣ.任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)(2013·扬州中学高三模拟)When I opened my e­mail t he other

But，at over 500 year s of age，time_is_catching_up_with_the_Mona_Lisa.The health of the famous picture，painted by Leonardo Da Vinci (莱昂纳多·达·芬奇) in 1505，is getting worse by the year，according to the Louvre Museum (卢浮宫博物馆) where it is housed. “The thin，wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago，〞the museum said. Visitors h ave noticed the changes but repairing the world's most famous painting is not easy. Expert s are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current(现在的) chemica l state.Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year，and many are attracted by the mystery of her smile. “It is very interesting that when you're not looking at her，she seems to be smiling，and then you look at her and she stops，〞said Professor M argaret Livingstone of Harvard University. “It's because direct vision(视觉) is excellent at picking up details，but less suited to look at shadows. Da Vinci painted the smile in sha dows.〞However，the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile. Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him，until it was eventuall y sold to France's King Francis Ⅰin 1169.In 1911，the painting was stolen from the Louvre by a former employee，who took it out of the museum hidden under his coat. He said he planned to return it to Italy. Th e painting was sent back to France two years later.During World War Ⅱ，French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.Like many old ladies，the Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell.1. The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means the Mona Lisa________.A．is losing its valueB．is being damaged after so many yearsC．is getting more valuable with years passingD．will rot away2．The smile of the Mona Lisa can only be seen________.A．by indirect vision B．at a distanceC．by direct vision D．in shadows3．Which of the following is TRUE about Mona Lisa？A．It was once taken away and hidden up by German forces.B．Its painter himself loved it greatly and always kept it in a shade.C．Mona Lisa stops smiling when you look at her wanting to see her smiles.D．King Francis Ⅰbought it and then returned it to Italy.4．It may add to the difficulty in repairing the painting that________.A．experts haven't noticed changes in its shape as visitors doB．it is likely to be stolen again when it's under repairC．it is uncertain which country，Italy or France，should take chargeD．experts aren't sure about the materials and the chemical state of its oil paint5．From the last paragraph，we can infer that________.A．many interesting stories have been written about the Mona LisaB．people are interested in the stories about the Mona LisaC．some mysteries still remain to be solved about the Mona LisaD．many more stories will be told about the MonaLisaBWhen I started teaching in school，I was sure I would change the world and touch children who needed love.Although most of my students seemed to respond pretty well to my teaching，there was a small group of teenage girls who became more and more hostile(敌对的) toward m e.One day a fight happened in my classroom. Attempting to end it，I stepped in to fa ce one of these hostile young women，who started hitting me in the face. Two boys jump ed up to control the girl，but the damage was done.While the girl was suspended(暂时停学) for a few days，I was determined that she would not returnto my classroom. But I also prayed. I wanted to see all the students right there in my daily work at school.On the top of my daily lesson-plan book，I wrote this statement，“To see all the chil dren in my classroom as always beautiful.〞It was the first thing I saw each day when I started teaching. With this view I could expect healing in my heart of any anger toward the girl.After her suspension，she returned to my classroom. The student's young mother was trying to raise six children while her husband was away in the war overseas. The motherand I agreed to work together to help her eldest daughter.There were no more incidents of anger the rest of the year. In fact，in the seven ye ars I remained at that school，I taught all six of this family's children. When the younges t was in my class，the mother told me，“Our family loves you.Every year one of my kid s says，‘I hope I' m in her classroom！’〞The standard of seeing each of my students as perfect was the best teaching tool I had，which led to success in the classroom.6．At the beginning of teaching，the author ________.A．was full of confidence in herselfB．doubted if she could be a good teacherC．was sure to win love from her studentsD．decided to change her students' life7．What happened in the author's class one day？A．A girl fought with two boys.B．She was hit by a girl.C．She hit a girl in the face.D．She fought with several girls.8．How was the girl punished？A．She was sent to another class.B．She was driven out of school at once.C．She had to stay at home for a few days.D．She was beaten heavily by her mother.9．When the girl returned to school，________.A．she apologized to the authorB．she took her mother to schoolC．the author was still angry with herD．the author treated her with love10．It can be inferred from the passage that________.A．the author got along better with boysB．the author tried to let the girl come to her classC．the girl's mother was very thankful to the authorD．all the six kids of the woman are hard to teachⅣ.翻译句子1．正在建造的房子是他的。

Languag e frustration worries almost all first generation immigrants. For example，I got a letter fro m a Chinese-American who has lived in the States for a long time and has a good IT j ob saying “My 11­year­old girl writes quite well，but as her parents，we could not even read her article.〞In addition，my Chinese American professor friend has difficulty readin g a novel. Improving our English skills has become a long journey for all of us. Honestl y，if I have a chance，I really want to reach out to everyone in the world who has had a similar experience：learning a second language in adulthood. I wish I could encourage t hem to speak out about the culture shock，frustration they felt about the differences betwe en West and East.I have mainly focused on my English writing since 2021 after I found “Literacy V ol unteers〞，an organization that specially focuses on helping immigrants improve their Engl ish. I decided to challenge myself，writing a story like an American. I saw many wonderful Americans there. As soon as I met my teacher Alice，I asked her to be my private lan guage tutor and have taken Tims English class. Every week Alice and I have worked on my English essays sentence by sentence.To observe the culture differences between West and East，occasionally，I posted a f ew of my English essays online. I mentioned previously about American culture；when p eople read the same article or even face the same situation，American and Chinese act ve ry differently. In my viewpoint，these differences make America the strongest country in t he world. I know you have the right to express your own opinions，but accusing others without proof is not acceptable.1．The purpose of the passage is________.A．to show how hard a Chinese-American lives in AmericaB．to share her experience of improving her EnglishC．to imply grammar rules are not importantD．to warn Chinese-Americans of English2．The underlined word “frustration〞in the first paragraph means________.A．failure and setbacksB．words and problemsC．understanding and progressD．slang and idioms3．If the author had a good master of English，________.A．she would open a school for Chinese-AmericansB．she would like to hear the differences spoken outC．she could lend a hand to the children for learningD．she might earn some money by giving advice4．In the passage，“Literacy V olunteers〞is________.A．only intended to help the Chinese-AmericansB．an organization which is set up to make a profitC．of great use to people like the authorD．a school showing how to enjoy literature5．From the last paragraph we can learn that ________.A．Americans and Chinese are of the same idea about somethingB．culture shock only exists between Chinese and AmericansC．accusing others freely can be acceptable in AmericaD．culture differences have great influence on the people课时作业(十一)ⅠⅡ.1.C句意：这家餐馆变得知名是由于它做的各种各样的食物满足所有人的口味。

The principal had called Jake t o his office and gave him the bag. As Jake walked into the classroom，he looked at Em ma and later thanked her very much for all the stuff.
