Question

You may know the English letters A, B and C. But do you know there are people called ABC? You may like eating bananas. But did you know there is such a thing as a “banana person”? How strange! Are these people from “another earth” ? No. They are just Chinese people like you and me.
ABC means American-born-Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States. Sometimes, people call an ABC a “banana person”. A banana is yellow outside and white inside. So, when a person is a banana, he or she is white inside---hinting like a Westerner(西方人) and yellow outside --- looking like a Chinese.
Do you know why? Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them don’t speak Chinese. Also, they are not interested in Chinese politics(政治), But if ABCs can’t speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are Chinese. They are oversea Chinese. These people may be citizens(公民) of another country like the US, Canada or Singapore. But they have Chinese blood. Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair. But they are not Chinese citizens. They are not people of the People’s Republic of China. For example, we all know the famous scientist C.N. Yang(杨振宁). He got the Nobel Prize Physics in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen.

解析试题分析：这篇短文中作者主要给我们介绍了什么是ABC，它指的是在美国出生的中国人。这样的人具有美国的国籍，从小受美国的思想影响，但是在外表上仍然是中国人，有中国的血统。短文中作者还给我们举例向我们解释了ABC。
【小题1】细节理解题。根据短文的第二段中ABC means American-born-Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States. 可知，ABC的意思是美国出生的中国人，他是一个中国人，但是出生在美国。故选C。
【小题2】细节理解题。根据短文第二段中So, when a person is a banana, he or she is white inside---hinting like a Westerner(西方人) and yellow outside --- looking like a Chinese.可知，我们说一个人是香蕉人，是因为他里面是白色的，思想就像西方人一样；而外面是黄色的，外表就像中国人。故选B。
【小题3】词义猜测题。根据划线的单词所在的句子以及上下文可知，ABC具有其他国家的国籍，但是有中国的血统，因为他们的父母、祖父母，甚至曾祖父母都是来自中国的。故这里的blood 的意思是血统。故选A。
【小题4】细节理解题。根据短文的最后一段He got the Nobel Prize Physics in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen. 可知，这里提到了杨振宁，他在1957年获得了诺贝尔物理奖，但是他是一个美国公民。故这里作者提到这个例子是说明美国出生的中国人，他们是美国国籍，所以他们不是中国的公民。故选C。
【小题5】主旨大意题。这篇短文中作者主要给我们介绍了什么是ABC，它指的是在美国出生的中国人。这样的人具有美国的国籍，从小受美国的思想影响，但是在外表上仍然是中国人，有中国的血统。短文中作者还给我们举例向我们解释了ABC。故应该选D。
