(2024·吉林市期末)
Thanksgiving time came and all the relatives were gathered around the long table, or seated behind TV trays.The television was on and some folks were watching it while visiting with one another.Something on television got their attention and one of the adults said, “Listen at it!” Someone else replied.“Well, if that don't beat all.”
Simple phrases were spoken by folks whose language was simple and brief.They had several idioms that were just as colorful phrases and words that brightened the room and warmed the conversation.
In school we were taught to speak differently.The way our relatives spoke was discouraged.Sometimes our parents would say things we weren't taught in school.They'd often correct themselves, as if getting rid of a mistake.Of course we learned some of their phrases and used them.They were comfortable words to pronounce, familiar.
Our father's side of the family was from Arkansas and Oklahoma and they spoke with the accents native to their birth states.Their voices musical and often high, it was easy to pick up that effect in our own speech and at school my brother and I were often teased for the way we spoke.
Our mother's side of the family came from Illinois and they had a tendency to talk fast.They had an accent, too, and my brother and I added that to our own speech, confusing the kids at school all the more.Our father's side of the family loved to laugh and have a good time.Our mother's side of the family was more serious about how they took life in; their joys more silently experienced and enjoyed.It was a rich picture of culture and it gave my brother and me a colorful view in life.
Thanksgiving holiday was always an easy comfortable going day.It was the first real holiday of the season when everyone came together in one place, and a good time was spent happily together by all.

(2024·哈爾濱市質(zhì)檢)
Bursting into the classroom from recess (課間休息), 15 children take their seats and face the
woman they know as Ms. Yang.
“What day is it today?” she asks, in Mandarin Chinese (普通話).
“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 brown-haired 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 (無前例的). 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 Chinese-language 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:本文為一篇說明文。隨著中國經(jīng)濟地位的增長,美國的很多學(xué)校掀起了學(xué)習(xí)漢語的熱潮。
5.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Understanding Chinese language and culture is helpful to work with Chinese.
B.Chinese-language 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 推理判斷題。根據(jù)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項中“Many other American schools”表述錯誤。故答案選C。
6.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 推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段最后一句中的“the teachers usually suffer culture shock when they come to the U. S.”和倒數(shù)第二段內(nèi)容可知,中國老師到美國任教時,遭遇到的最大問題就是文化沖擊,由于教學(xué)風(fēng)格的不同,老師們需要做出很大的調(diào)整。故答案選D。
