I grew up in a tiny Baltimore row house in a faraway mountain area. My parents    36    the necessities of life    37    they couldn’t give much more. If I asked my father    38    a pair of jeans, he would say, “If you want them, make the money and buy them    39   .” He wasn’t being mean; he just couldn’t    40    them. From age 12 on, I did part-time jobs after school.

       When I    41    from high school, I joined the navy. Soon I was in a boot camp(新兵训练营) at Parris Island, S. C., where I learned that life in the navy centered around completing daily

   42   . These could be anything from cleaning the camp to conducting mock(模拟的) battles. Completing these tasks successfully    43    discipline, team-work and responsibility. It didn’t

   44    whether you were black, white or Asian; everyone worked together for the    45   of the company.

I went    46    to graduate from the U.S. Naval Academy and later became an officer in the navy. The part of my job I    47    most was the counseling(咨询) meeting I    48     with the family members of the men and women in my    49   , trying to help them deal with the long periods of    50   . These proved popular and word of them spread.   51    I was being asked to give encouraging    52    to business groups, educators and kids across the country.

But I consider the boot camp my first real    53   , and my life is still guided by the

   54    lessons I learned there. It taught me discipline, friendship and the pride related to setting a task every day and working hard to    55    it.

解析:

36. A      解析:provide意为“提供”。根据下文中的“they couldn’t give much more”可判断出作者的父母亲提供生活必需品。get意为“获得;赚得;赢得,博得,取得”;make意为“做,作,造,制造,做成,造成,建设;创作,著作,拟,起草;制定,设置;征收”;buy意为“买,购”。

37. B      解析:but用于构成并列句,意为“但是”,根据“My parents provided the necessities of life”与“they couldn’t give much more”的意思可判断出它们是转折关系。while表示对比,指“尽管” “虽然”,但程度不如still强烈,所引导的从句多位于主句之前,表示并列关系,指“而”“当……却……”,所引导的分句多位于句末,偶尔位于句首。but表示转折,指和上一分句所述情况相反,上下分句形成对比,一般不用在句首,更不用在句末,后面一般也不加逗号。so意为“因而,所以,那么,这样看来”。or意为“或,或者,还是”。

38. C      解析:ask...for意为“向……请求,要求”。根据下文中的if you want them可判断出表示“如果我向父亲要一条牛仔裤”。ask...about意为“向……问关于……”。ask of后接表示“人”的名词或代词,意为“要求,期望”。

39. C      解析:make the money and buy them是祈使句,其逻辑主语是you,所以要用反身代词yourself,表示“你自己”。

40. D      解析:afford指时间或经济能力可以“花费得起,经受得住”,须与情态动词can,could或be able to搭配。根据上文中的“they couldn’t give much more”可判断出“买不起”。pay意为“付清,偿清,缴纳”;find意为“找到;获得;发现;(偶然)看见,拾得,遇见”;produce意为“生,产生,生产,结(果实)”。

41. D      解析:graduate意为“毕业”,根据下文中的from high school可判断出当作者在高中毕业时,参加了海军。come意为“来,过来”,come from high school表示“来自高中”;return意为“回来,回去,返回”;escape意为“逃走,逃亡,逃脱,逃逸,逃避”,都与上下文的内容不相符。

42. B      解析:task意为“任务”,一般指分派的工作任务,也指自己要求做的工作,可指体力劳动或脑力劳动,多含困难和辛苦的意味。根据下文中的“These could be anything from cleaning the camp to conducting mock battles.”可判断出在海军的生活,集中在完成日常工作中。drill意为“操练,演习;(严格而有系统的)盘练,训练”;exercise意为“演习,操练,训练;〔常 pl.〕运动,体操”;report意为“告知,报告,汇报;报导(新闻、调查结果等);发表,公布,发表公报”。

46. B      解析:go on意为“继续”。根据上文中的“When I graduated from high school,I joined the navy.”可判断出作者继续学习,go out意为“出去,熄灭,过时,罢工,向往,辞职,倒塌”;go away意为“走开”;go off意为“离开,去世,消失,睡去,爆炸,被发射,进行,变质”。

47. C      解析:enjoy意为“享受……之乐,欣赏,喜爱”。根据下文中的“These prove popular and word of them spread.”可判断出作者最喜欢做咨询工作,因为只有喜欢才能把工作做好。take意为“取得,获得,拿到,(从某处)得到”。hate意为“不愿,不喜欢”,与下文所提供的情境矛盾。do虽然可以与the part of my job构成短语,但与副词more无法连用。

48. D      解析:hold意为“举行,开(会)”。“I held with the family members of the men and women...”是定语从句,作meeting的定语,表示与男女家庭成员在一起举行的咨询会。end意为“使完结,了结,终止”;begin意为“开始,着手,动手”;continue意为“连续,继续,延伸”。

Several years ago, while attending a communication course, I experienced a most unusual process.The instructor asked us to list   36  in our past that we felt   37    of, regretted, or incomplete about and read our lists aloud.
This seemed like a very  38  process, but there' s always some   39 soul in the crowd who will volunteer.The instructor then   40  that we find ways to   41  people, or take some action to right any wrong doings.I was seriously wondering how this could ever  42   my communication.
Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: “Making my   43  , I remembered an incident from high school.I grew up in a small town.There was a Sheriff   44  of us kids liked.One night, my two buddies(伙伴) and I decided to play a   45   on him.

Nearly 20 years later.Sheriff Brown's name   48   on my list.I didn't even know if he was still   49 .Last weekend, I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Roger Brown still listed.I tried his number.After a few   50 , 1 heard, "Hello?" I said, "Sheriff Brown?" Paused."Yes." "Well, this is Jimmy Calkins."
“And I want you to know that I did it?” Paused.“I knew it!” he yelled back.We had a good laugh and a   51  discussion.His closing words were: “Jimmy, I always felt bad for you   52  your buddies got it off their chest, but you were carrying it   53  all these years.I want to thank you for calling me for your sake.”
Jimmy inspired me to   54   all the items on my list within two years, and I always remember what I learned from the course: It's never too late to   55  the past wrongdoings.

I grew up poor – living with six brothers, my father and a wonderful mother. We had   36 money and few worldly goods, but plenty of love and attention. I was   37  and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could   38  afford a dream.
My dream was to be a   39 .When I was sixteen, I could crush a baseball, throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball. I was also   40 : my high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who   41 me the difference between having a dream and showing strong belief. One particular   42 with him changed my life forever.
It was a summer and a friend recommended me for a summer   43 . This meant a chance for my first income—cash for a new bike and new clothes, and the   44 of savings for a house for my mother. The opportunity was attracting, and I wanted to   45  at it.
Then I realized I would have to   46  summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn’t be playing. I was   47  about this.
When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as   48 as I expected him to be. “You have your whole life to work,” he said. “Your   49 days are limited. You can’t afford to waste them.”
I stood before him with my head   50 , trying to think of how to explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth   51  his disappointment in me.
“How much are you going to make at this job?” he demanded.
“$ 3.25 an hour,” I replied.
“Well, is $ 3.25 an hour the price of a   52 ?” he asked.
That   53 laid bare for me the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I devoted myself to   54  that summer, and within the year I was offered a $ 20,000 contract. I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $ 1.7 million, and bought my mother the   55 of my dreams.

My dream was   38  . By the time I was sixteen, I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour baseball and   39   anything that moved on the field.

I am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language — the way it can evoke(唤起) an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them all — all the Englishes I grew up with.

Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, I’ve been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” English. But I feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than “broken”, as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness. I’ve heard other terms used, “limited English,” for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including people’s perceptions (认识) of the limited English speaker.

I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother’s “limited” English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly, her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.

I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I won’t get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as “broken”, and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal(内在的) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure: I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show; her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.

1.By saying “Language is the tool of my trade”, the author means that       .

A.she uses English in foreign trade

B.she is fascinated by languages

C.she works as a translator

D.she is a writer by profession

2.The author used to think of her mother’s English as      .

A.impolite

B.amusing

C.imperfect

D.practical

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?

A.Americans do not understand broken English.

B.The author’s mother was not respected sometimes.

C.The author’s mother had positive influence on her.

D.Broken English always reflects imperfect thoughts.

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A.The changes of the author’s attitude to her mother’s English.

B.The limitation of the author’s perception of her mother.

C.The author’s misunderstanding of “limited” English.

D.The author’s experiences of using broken English.
