Unit 2 Bridging Cultures Using Language 课后巩固练习 -2025-2026学年高中英语人教版选择性必修第二册

Unit2 Using Language课后巩固练习 1.阅读理解 A One day after more than a month of classes, I read aloud a paragraph from my book, recognizing all of the characters smoothly except one. I sat back and started to register a sense of achievement: I was actually reading Chinese. The language was starting to make sense. But before the sense of satisfaction was half formed, Teacher Liao said,"Budui!" It meant, literally,“Not correct."You could also translate it as"no""wrong""nope"" uh-uh"and "flatly and clearly incorrect".There were many Chinese words that I didn't know, but I knew that one well. A voice in my head whined,"All of the rest of them were right; isn't that worth something?" But for Teacher Liao it didn't work like that. If one character was wrong,it was simply budui. "What's this word?" I asked, pointing at the character I had missed. "Zhe-the zhe in Zhejiang." "The third tone?" "The fourth tone," I breathed deeply and read the section again, and this time I did it perfectly. That was a victory-I turned to Teacher Liao and my eyes said (or at least I imagined them saying), "How do you like me now?" There seemed to be some satisfaction in her eyes,but she simply said,"Read the next one." It was her way of teaching. Success was expected and failure was criticized and immediately corrected. You were right or you were budui; there was no middle ground. I grew to hate budui. The bu was a rising tone and the dui dropped abruptly,just as my confidence was built and then it broke down all at once. And it bothered me all the more because I knew that Teacher Liao was only telling the truth: Everything I did with the language was budui. I was an adult, and as an adult I should be able to accept criticism where it was needed. But that wasn't the American way;I wanted to be praised for my effort; I didn't mind criticism as long as it was candy-coated. For Teacher Liao, the single B on the report card matters much more than all the A's that surround it: Keep working; you haven't achieved anything yet. And so I worked harder. I was frustrated but I was also stubborn; I was determined to show Teacher Liao that I was dui. 1. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “ whined" paragraph 3? A. Burst out. B.

B Chinese-language teacher Xie Fang is excited that one of her former students from Indonesia has been admitted to Beijing Language and Culture University. The boy,Alvin Rizqi Adrian, achieved his dream of studying in China with a scholarship provided by the Chinese government. Xie met the boy when she was selected to teach Chinese at Budi Utama Three Languages National School in Yogyakarta,Indonesia. The school, founded in 2006 by local Chinese, teaches in three languagesIndonesian, English and Chinese. The school has more than 970 primary, middle and high students, half of whom have Chinese ancestry. Xie taught students to speak and comprehend Chinese during her year at the school."Most Indonesian children start to learn Chinese after they enter primary school," Xie said."But the textbooks from Singapore seemed relatively difficult for them at that stage."

The Students' Union 三、【参考范文】 After reading his son's homework, Chris was lost in thought. He realized that his son had a deeper understanding of life than he had expected. The boy saw the good in things that seemed unpleasant at first, and even found value in his father's scolding. Chris felt a wave of guilt wash over him. He had been so focused on his own stress and anxieties that he had neglected to see the positive impact his tough love was having on his son. He understood now that his scolding, though harsh, was a way of pushing his son to become better. Realizing all these, he suddenly became relaxed. The tension in his shoulders eased, and a smile spread across his face. He decided to change his approach to parenting.Instead of scolding and quarreling, he would try to communicate more effectively with his family, sharing his feelings and concerns instead of bottling them up. He would also make an effort to appreciate the good in every situation, just as his son had done. Chris knew that it wouldn't be easy, but he was ready to make the effort for the sake of his family's happiness and harmony. From that day on, Chris made a conscious effort to be a more understanding and supportive father, and the atmosphere at home gradually became warmer and more loving. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
