mothers chinese english. because of her english, she was often treated unfairly. 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.my mother has realized the limitations(局限，限制) of her english as well. when i was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend i was she . i was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. one time i had to call her stockbroker (股票經(jīng)紀(jì)人). i said in an adolescent（不成熟的） voice that was not very convincing, “this is mrs. tan. . ”and my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly, “why he dont send me check already two week long. ”and then , in perfect english i said : “im getting rather concerned . you agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasnt arrived. ”then she talked more loudly. “what he want? i come to new york tell him front of his boss. ” and so i turned to the stockbroker again, “i cant tolerate（容忍） any more excuse. if i dont receive the check immediately , i am going to have to speak to your manager when i am in new york next week. ”the next week we ended up in new york. while i was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real mrs. tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken english. when i was a teenager, my mothers broken english embarrassed me. but now, i see it differently. to me, my mothers english is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. it is my mother tongue. her language, as i hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. it was the language that helped shape the way i saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.49. why was the authors mother poorly served?a. she was unable to speak good english. b. she was often misunderstood. c. she was not clearly heard. d. she was not very polite. 50. from paragraph 2, we know that the author was _ . a. good a pretending b. rude to the stockbroker c. ready to help her mother d. unwilling to phone for her mother51. after the author made the phone call, _ .a. they forgave the stockbroker b. they failed to get the check c. they went to new york at once d. they spoke to their boss at once52. what does the author think of her mothers english now?a. it confuses her. b. it embarrasses her. c. it helps her understand the world. d. it helps her tolerate rude people. c.the american newspaper has been around for about three hundred years. in 1721, the printer james franklin, benjamins older brother, started the new england courant, and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper. he filled his paper with stories of adventure, articles on art, on famous people, and on all sorts of political subjects.three centuries after the appearance of franklins courant, few believe that newspapers in their present printed form will remain alive for long. newspaper companies are losing advertisers，readers, market value, and in some cases, their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable just several years ago. the chief editor of the times said recently, “at places where they gather, editors ask one another, how are you?, as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law case.” an article about the newspaper appeared on the website of the guandian, under the headline “not dead yet.”perhaps not, but the rise of the internet, which has made the daily newspaper look slow and out of step with the world, has brought about a real sense of death. some american newspapers have lost 42% of their market value in the past three years. the new york times company has seen its stock(股票) drop by 54% since the end of 2004, with much of the loss coming in the past year. a manager at deutsche bank suggested that stock-holders sell off their times stock. the washington post company has prevented the trouble only by changing part of its business to education; its testing and test-preparation service now brings in at least half the companys income.53. what can we learn about the new england courant?a. it is mainly about the stock market.b. it marks the beginning of the american newspaper.c. it remains a successful newspaper in america.d. it carries articles by political leaders.54. what can we infer about the newspaper editors? a. they often accept readers suggestions. b. they care a lot about each others health.c. they stop doing business with advertisers.d. they face great difficulties in their business.55. which of the following found a new way for its development?a. the washington post. b. the guardian.c. the new york times. d. new england courant.56. the author seems to feel _ about the future of newspapers.a. satisfied. b. hopeful. c. worried. d. surprised. d. forty-three years seems like a long time to remember the name of a mere (僅僅的) acquaintance(熟人). i have forgotten the name of an old lady, who was a customer on the paper route in my home town when i was a twelve-year-old boy. yet it exists in my memory that she taught me a lesson in forgiveness that i shall never forget.on a winter afternoon, a friend and i were throwing stones onto the roof of the old ladys house. the aim of our play was to observe how the stones changed to missiles(炸彈) as they rolled to the edge of the roof. i found myself a perfectly smooth rock and threw it out. the stone was too smooth, however, so it slipped from my hand as i let it go and headed straight not for the roof but for a small window on the old ladys back porch. at the sound of crashed glass, we knew we were in trouble and ran away.i was too scared about getting caught that first night to be concerned about the old lady with the broken window in winter. however, a few days later, when i was sure that i hadnt been discovered, i started to feel guilty for her misfortune. she still greeted me with a smile each day when i gave her the paper, but i was no longer able to act comfortable in her presence.i made up my mind that i would save my paper delivery money, and in three weeks i had the seven dollars to cover the cost of her window. i put the money in an envelope with a note explaining that i was sorry for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost for repairing it.i waited until it was dark, snuck up to the old ladys house, and put the letter i didnt sign through the letter slot in her door. my soul felt redeemed (彌補(bǔ)) and i could have the freedom of, once again, looking straight into the old ladys kind eyes.the next day, i handed the old lady her paper and was able to return the warm smile that i was receiving from her. she thanked me for the paper and gave me a bag of cookies she had made herself. i thanked her and ate the cookies as i continued my route. after several cookies, i felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag. when i opened the envelope, i was surprised. inside were the seven dollars and a short note that said, “im proud of you!” 57. which of the following sentences is not true according to the passage? a. the author was a newsboy when he was 12 years old. b. the old lady didnt know who broke the window. c. the author felt guilty of breaking the old ladys window. d. the story happened forty-three years ago.58. the underlined words “snuck-up” in the fifth paragraph probably means “_”. a. went quietly b. quickly made my way c. stole something of no value d. searched in a secret way59. which of the following would be the best title for the passage? a. a bag of cookies b. a broken window c. the secret in the cookies d. a painful lesson60. _ probably impressed the author of the passage most. a. the cookies made by the lady b. the note inside the cookie bag c. the broken window d. the ladys forgiveness三、 任務(wù)型閱讀（共5小題，每小題1分，共5分）根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從下框的a-f選項(xiàng)中選出能概括每一段主題的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有一項(xiàng)為多余項(xiàng)。a. gift giving proven to be valuable. b.
