1、2014高考英語閱讀理解：2013暑假練習題（9）及答案解析 (第 A篇) I am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language — the way it can evoke (喚起)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 Engl

2、ishes 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

3、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, “l(fā)imited English” , for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including people’ s perceptions (認識) of the li

4、mited English speaker. I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up，my mother’ s “l(fā)imited” 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 thoug

5、hts 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

6、 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 (內(nèi)在的) language, and for

7、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.

The lack of right male (男性的) role models in many of their lives — at home and particularly in the school environment (環(huán)境) — means that their peers are the only people they have to judge th

15、emselves against. They don’t see men succeeding in society so it doesn’t occur to them that they could make something of themselves.Without male teachers as a role model, the effect of peer actions and street culture(文化) is allpowerful. Boys want to be part of a club. However, schools can provide

16、the environment for change, and provide the right role models for them. Teachers need to be trained to stop that but not in front of a child’s peers. You have to do it one to one，because that is when you see the real child. It’s pointless sending a child home if he or she has done wrong. They see i

17、t as a welcome day off to watch television or play computer games. Instead, schools should have a special unit where a child who has done wrong goes for the day and gets advice about his problemssomewhere he can work away from his peers and go home after the other children. 6. Why did Tom give up

18、studying? A. He disliked his teachers. B. His parents no longer supported him. C. It’s cool for boys of his age not to care about studies. D. There were too many subjects in his secondary school. [解析]　細節(jié)理解題。由第一段最后一句話“One of the reasons that made it cool for him not to care was the power of his

[解析]　推理判斷題。由第一段最后一句話和第二段內(nèi)容“their peers are the only people they have to judge themselves against...”可推論

20、出對于學生來說對他們產(chǎn)生很大影響的就是他們的同齡人。 [答案]　A 8. What should schools do to help the problem schoolboys? A. Wait for their change patiently. B. Train leaders of their peer groups. C. Stop the development of street culture. D. Give them lessons in a separate area. [解析]　推理判斷題。由最后一段“Instead，schools should ha

21、ve a special unit where a child who has done wrong goes for the day and gets advice about his problems—somewhere he can work away from his peers and go home after the other children.”可推論出學校應(yīng)該為這樣的學生設(shè)立獨立的空間單元，來有針對性的采取措施解決他們的問題。 [答案]　D 9.

22、_____. A. is with the boy alone B. teaches the boy a lesson C. sends the boy home as punishment D. works together with another teacher [解析]　細節(jié)理解題。由第三段最后一句話“You have to do it one to one，because that is when you see the real child.”可知在單獨面對和幫助這樣的問題學生時，老師會看到他們最真實的一面，這樣的方式最有效果。 [答案]　A ************
