I said in an adolescent (青少年的) voice that was not very certain, “This is Mrs. Tan.” My mother was standing beside me saying, “Why he doesn’t send me check, already two weeks late.” And then, in perfect English I said: “I’m getting rather worried. You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.” My mother then talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New York to tell him in front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t accept any more excuse. If I don’t 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 mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s 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 me see things, express ideas, and make sense of the world. 59 Why was the writer’s mother poorly served? Because _________. A. she was unable to speak good English B. she was often treated unfairly C. she was not clearly heard D. she was not very polite 60. From Paragraph 2, we know that the writer was _________. A. good at pretending B. rude to the stockbroker C. ready to help her mother D. not willing to phone for her mother 61. After the writer made the phone call, the writer and her mum _________. A. received the check at once B. still failed to get the check C. went to New York immediately D. spoke to the stockbroker's boss at once 62. What does the underlined phrase “make sense of” in last paragraph mean? A. confuse B. surprise C. understand D. refuse 63. We can know from the passage that Chinese English _________. A. is clear and natural to native speakers B. is well received by native speakers C. is widely used in America D. may bring inconvenience in America 64. The best title of the passage might be _________. A. Great Mother B. Natural English C. Mother’s Chinese English D. Perfect English 【答案】59. A 60. D 61. B 62. C 63. D 64. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了小时候妈妈的中式英语让作者很难为情，具体讲述了妈妈让自己代替她接电话的事情，而长大后作者觉得妈妈的英语是完美的、自然的，它帮助作者看清事物、表达思想并理解这个世界。 【59题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Because of her Chinese English, she was often treated unfairly”可知由于她的中国英语，她经常受到不公平的待遇。故选A。 【60题详解】 推理判断题。根据“I was made to ask for information or even to shout at people who had been rude to her.”可知作者是被迫替妈妈打电话，由此可推出作者是不愿意的。故选D。 【61题详解】 推理判断题。根据“If I don’t receive the check immediately, I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”以及“The next week we ended up in New York”可知尽管作者在电话中威胁要找股票经纪人的老板，但最终他们还是没有收到支票，不得不亲自去纽约找他的老板。故选B。 【62题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“It was the language that helped me see things, express ideas, and make sense of the world.”可知正是这种语言帮助我看待事物，表达思想，理解世界，故此处划线部分和understand意义相近。故选C。 【63题详解】 推理判断题。根据“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.”可知百货商店里、银行里、饭店里的人都不把她当回事，不给她良好的服务，假装听不懂她的话，甚至装作没听见她的话，可推知中式英语会给美国生活带来不便。故选D。 【64题详解】 最佳标题题。本文主要围绕作者对母亲“中国式英语”的看法展开，从最初的尴尬到后来的理解和接受，以选项C“妈妈的中国式英语”为标题最合适。故选C。 C.

The same kind of method can be used with important dates. If you have a picture in your mind of a particular event, it’s much e____75____ to remember than just a number on a calendar.

Answer the questions. （3%） Read this dialogue between Karen Lu and Alice Evans on a daily television talk show called “Our World”. Alice has recently travelled around India on an elephant. Karen: Welcome to the programme. First of all, Alice, what gave you the idea to travel around India on an elephant? Alice: Well, it all started when I went to a photographic exhibition of elephants. Then, a few days later, I started reading a book about an Englishman travelling all the way to India on foot. I suddenly had the idea to travel on an elephant. Karen: So what did you do next? Alice: I rang a friend in India and told him I wanted to buy an elephant. He told me about the prices of elephants. He said that I would need two people to help me: one person to cut the animal’s food, because elephants can eat up to 200kg of food each day, and another person to drive the elephant. Karen: Is it expensive to buy an elephant? Alice: We bought a female elephant called Tara for about US$6,000. Karen: Well, Alice, you’d found your elephant. What did you do next? Alice: Next, we had to plan our route. As we had to sell Tara at the end of the journey, we decided to travel to Sonepur in northern India where the world’s oldest elephant market is located. The market lasts for two weeks every year and elephants can never be sold there before the special date of 23rd November. The whole journey would take about 64 days to complete. Karen: I see. And did you have any problems on your journey? Alice: Yes, a few, but nothing too serious. At the beginning, Tara hurt her foot. But that got better after a week. The weather was very bad as well. And we often found uninvited guests in our tents—snakes—which made sleeping rather difficult! Karen: That sounds awful! And what finally happened when you reached the end of your journey? Alice: I had grown very fond of Tara, and I didn’t want to sell her, even though I knew I had to. Luckily, however, I met some old friends at the market. They were looking for an elephant for their national park. I knew that Tara would be safe in the national park, so I gave her to them. I was very sad to say goodbye. 78. Alice got the idea of traveling on an elephant from a film, didn’t she? ______________________________________ 79. Why did they decide to travel to the elephant market in northern India? ______________________________________ 80. Where did Tara go at the end of the journey? ______________________________________ 【答案】78. No./No she didn’t. 79. Because they had to sell Tara at the end of the journey. 80.

It makes my English learning difficult. To solve this, I use several methods. First, I make word cards. I write a word on one side and its meaning and usage on the other. I review them whenever I have free time, like on the bus or before going to bed. Second, I try to use new words in sentences. This helps me understand and remember them better. For example, if I learn “delicious”, I’ll say “The cake is delicious” when eating. From this experience, I learn that persistence and proper methods are key to overcoming study problems. As long as I keep trying, I can make progress. 【解析】 【详解】[总体分析] ①题材：本文是一篇材料作文； ②时态：时态为一般现在时； ③提示：写作要点已给出，注意不要遗漏提示中的要点，可适当添加细节，并突出写作要点。  [写作步骤] 第一步，点明学习中遇到的最大问题——记不住英语单词及其带来的影响； 第二步，具体阐述解决该问题的两种方法，即制作单词卡片并利用碎片时间复习，以及在句子中运用新单词； 第三步，总结得出克服学习问题的关键在于坚持和合适的方法，点明主旨。 [亮点词汇] ①make word cards制作单词卡片 ②on one side在一面 ③going to bed去睡觉 [高分句型] ①In my study, the biggest problem is that I often can’t remember English words well.（使用that引导的表语从句） ②I review them whenever I have free time, like on the bus or before going to bed.（whenever引导时间状语从句） ③From this experience, I learn that persistence and proper methods are key to overcoming study problems.（that引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023学年上海外国语大学附属浦东外国语学校第二学期 初一 年级 英语 学科 期终考试 本卷共（15大）题共（9）页 满分： 120 分 考试时间： 90 分钟 （本卷选择题为连续编号） Part One Listening（30%） I.

Choose the best answer. （6%） When I was growing up in America I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her Chinese 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 realized that she was poor at English. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on the phone to pretend I was she. I was made to ask for information or even to shout at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人). I said in an adolescent (青少年的) voice that was not very certain, “This is Mrs. Tan.” My mother was standing beside me saying, “Why he doesn’t send me check, already two weeks late.” And then, in perfect English I said: “I’m getting rather worried. You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.” My mother then talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New York to tell him in front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t accept any more excuse. If I don’t 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 mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s 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 me see things, express ideas, and make sense of the world. 59.

Answer the questions. （3%） Read this dialogue between Karen Lu and Alice Evans on a daily television talk show called “Our World”. Alice has recently travelled around India on an elephant. Karen: Welcome to the programme. First of all, Alice, what gave you the idea to travel around India on an elephant? Alice: Well, it all started when I went to a photographic exhibition of elephants. Then, a few days later, I started reading a book about an Englishman travelling all the way to India on foot. I suddenly had the idea to travel on an elephant. Karen: So what did you do next? Alice: I rang a friend in India and told him I wanted to buy an elephant. He told me about the prices of elephants. He said that I would need two people to help me: one person to cut the animal’s food, because elephants can eat up to 200kg of food each day, and another person to drive the elephant. Karen: Is it expensive to buy an elephant? Alice: We bought a female elephant called Tara for about US$6,000. Karen: Well, Alice, you’d found your elephant. What did you do next? Alice: Next, we had to plan our route. As we had to sell Tara at the end of the journey, we decided to travel to Sonepur in northern India where the world’s oldest elephant market is located. The market lasts for two weeks every year and elephants can never be sold there before the special date of 23rd November. The whole journey would take about 64 days to complete. Karen: I see. And did you have any problems on your journey? Alice: Yes, a few, but nothing too serious. At the beginning, Tara hurt her foot. But that got better after a week. The weather was very bad as well. And we often found uninvited guests in our tents—snakes—which made sleeping rather difficult! Karen: That sounds awful! And what finally happened when you reached the end of your journey? Alice: I had grown very fond of Tara, and I didn’t want to sell her, even though I knew I had to. Luckily, however, I met some old friends at the market. They were looking for an elephant for their national park. I knew that Tara would be safe in the national park, so I gave her to them. I was very sad to say goodbye. 78.
