解析:
【语篇解读】本篇文章为记叙文。“我”长在美国,已熟悉英语,但身为中国人,因为没有学习汉语而导致了去中国城买鱼的尴尬,这让我明白了一个道理:“笑话”反映的是一种文化的缺失,我们不应该让文化丢失。
36. 根据本段第一句中the language of my ancestors可知,这里父母是想利用有汉字的闪存卡放在我面前。故选C项。其余三项不符合语境。
37. 由本句中but这个转折连词可知,这里表明作者没有看它,而是将其放在了一边。put aside意为“把某物放到一边”,符合语境,故选D项。put ahead意为“拨快”;put around意为“传播”。
38. 由本句中I was ready可以推断出:我母亲认为当我准备好的时候,我才会学。此处只有when符合语境。故选A项。
39. 由本句中But及never可知,这里强调的是:我学习汉字的时间从来没有来过。故选C项。
40. 由本句中的confused可知,当叔叔跟我讲汉语的时候,我困惑了,不明白了。因此我只能用眼睛盯着我的叔叔看。A项意为“瞄准”;B项意为“开玩笑”;C项意为“点头”;D项意为“注视,等着眼睛看”。只有D项符合语境,其余三项不符合,排除。
41. A项意为“关心”;B项意为“嘲笑”;C项意为“与……争论”;D项意为“问候,问安”。由本句中You can’t even buy a fish in Chinatown.可以推断出,叔叔是在嘲笑我。故选B项。
42. 由本句中I’ll get some___ with or without Chinese.及联系下段可知,我想证明给我的叔叔看,我现在就能去唐人街买到鱼。right now意为“现在,立即”,符合语境。故选A项。。
43. 由下段中母亲说话的内容可知:我希望征得母亲让我去卖鱼。A项意为“决定”;B项意为“许可”;C项意为“信息”;D项意为“准备”。由语境可知,应为母亲的许可比较合适,其余三项与语境不符,排除。
44. 由上句母亲话中的Xin Xian Yu及我没有学习汉语可以推断出:我为了防止忘掉要
买的东西的名字,而不断重复着母亲的话。故选A项。
45. A项意为“农场”;B项意为“货摊”;C项意为“池塘”;D项意为“集市,市场”分析句子结构可知:我发现鱼摊被很多顾客围着。故选B项。
46. 由第二段中You can’t even buy a fish in Chinatown及本句中turned to serve the next customer可知,这个卖鱼人没有在意我说的话,即无视,不理睬。只有D项符合句意。
47. 本句中The laugh of the people behind increased表明我身后的人因为失去耐心而开始
笑起来。with impatience意为“因为不耐烦”。故选C项。
48. 由本段的第三句中turned to serve the next customer及本句中the breath of the dragon on my back grew stronger可知,当我再一次问的时候,我生气了。second表示“在一”的意思。故选A项。
49. 由本句中my blood boiling可知,我被激怒了,因此我强迫自己大声喊出我要买的东西。B、C、D三项不符合作者当时的心情,故排除。
50. 由上句中The crowd erupted into laughter可知,因为我说错了汉语而引来了大家的哄堂大笑,这让我十分难堪,故我的脸变红了。因此答案为D。
51. 上段中母亲让我买Xin Xian Yu及由本句中except for the ﹩20 bill可知,我没有买到鱼,而是空着手回家的。故选C项。
52. 由本段中They’re Chinese. I’m Chinese.可知,同为中国人,我应该感到自在,自如才对。这与后面的Instead, I was the joke…形成对比。故选B项。
53. A项意为“交易,买卖”;B项意为“行动,所做之事”;C项意为“挑战”;D项意为“发生的事(常指小事)”。由本句中I laugh at可知,作者时常以自己买鱼的那件小事自嘲。故答案为D项。
54. 分析句意可知,这里作者以买鱼这件小事自嘲,当然自嘲的对象是作者本人。因此C项符合语境。
55. 分析句子结构可知,该空应fading away意思相近。A项意为“被扔掉”;B项意为“被丢失”;C项意为“被分开”;D项意为“被反映的”。因此B项符合语境和句意。
