二、素养能力提升练
Ⅳ.阅读理解
When I was ten years old,I went to the US to visit some family friends.We travelled all the way from California to Las Vegas.I noticed something funny about the way everyone spoke English.I was thinking,“This is the way they speak in films!”
At the beginning of the holiday,one of my friends asked me if I wanted to order “French fries”. I couldn’t imagine what French fries were.What was fried and French?!Snails?Cheese?She was amazed that I had never tried them and she ordered a portion for us to share.When the waiter brought us some chips,I asked her where the French fries were.She pointed to the plate of chips!Later that week she said she was going to buy some “chips” from the supermarket.She came out with a packet of crisps!
During that holiday we were also offered “biscuits and gravy” with our lunch.This was a very strange idea to me,because in England biscuits are sweet.Gravy is a salty,meat-based sauce.I later realized that “biscuits” in America are savoury snacks.What we call “biscuits”, they call “cookies”.
One day,I saw an “eggplant” pizza on the menu in a restaurant!Eggs do not grow on plants,I thought.What on earth could an “eggplant” be?Something eggy and leafy?My dad ordered this pizza and it was covered in aubergines.I asked him where the “eggplant” was.He laughed and pointed to the aubergines.He told me,“They call this ‘eggplant’ in America!”
Although the same “language” may be spoken in different countries,there are likely to be many differences,not just in vocabulary but also in spelling,grammar and pronunciation!I think part of the excitement of learning a language is discovering the differences in how it is spoken in different places.
1.What can we learn from paragraph 2?
A.Holiday is a good time to relax.
B.French fries are popular worldwide.
C.The waiter provided poor service.
D.Chips and crisps are the same food.
2.Where does the author most probably come from?
A.America. B.France.
C.England. D.Italy.
3.How did the author feel when seeing an “eggplant” pizza on the menu?
A.Excited. B.Regretful.
C.Anxious. D.Confused.
4.What is the text mainly about?
A.Advantages of travelling.
B.High-end restaurants.
C.Food and tradition.
D.Cross-cultural misunderstanding.

Ⅷ.读后续写
阅读下面短文,根据其内容和所给段落的开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Niesha could not forget the way she had frozen in front of the class today.Mr.Roberts had divided the class into groups to do presentations.Today had been Niesha’s turn.However,her hands had shaken so badly that she couldn’t read her notes.Her voice had become softer even to silence.Mr.Roberts had kindly ended Niesha’s part of the presentation even though she had clearly not finished.He had also asked Niesha to stay after class for a moment.
“Niesha,I know you’re shy,but you worked hard on this project.I’d hate to see you give up on yourself.” Mr.Roberts had hesitated,“If I give you another chance until tomorrow,do you think you can find your courage?” Niesha had nodded,grateful for the chance.She had gone as quickly as she could to her next class.She had kept her head down and hoped the school day would end soon.
When she reached her back steps that afternoon,she could see an inviting light coming from the kitchen windows.Momma was baking.Momma studied Niesha’s face as she came into the kitchen.“What’s wrong,Niesha?”
Tears shone in Niesha’s brown eyes.She told her the whole story.Momma was silent for a moment,her hands still busy with the cake.“Why is it that you can talk to me about anything and everything,but you can’t talk to your class?” Momma asked.She set the timer and then said,“Let me show something.”
Niesha followed Momma to her bedroom.There Momma showed her a book filled with newspaper clippings(剪报)and pictures.In it there was a blue ribbon that said “First Place” and a picture of herself when she was very young,standing with her parents.
“I won it for public speaking.I started the school year as the shyest girl on the speech team,but I ended the year as the blue ribbon winner.It wasn’t easy at first—not sure of yourself at all.I worked hard,and mostly I faced my fears.You just need to find your courage.”
注意:续写词数应为80个左右。
Hearing Momma’s words,Niesha stared at the precious blue ribbon,lost in thought.____

1.D 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Later that week she said she was going to buy some ‘chips’ from the supermarket.She came out with a packet of crisps!”可知,chips和crisps是同一种食物。故选D项。
2.C 推理判断题。根据第三段中“This was a very strange idea to me,because in England biscuits are sweet.”可推知,作者来自英国。
3.D 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“What on earth could an ‘eggplant’ be?Something eggy and leafy?”可知,当看到菜单上的“茄子”比萨时,作者感到困惑。
4.D 主旨大意题。文章讲述了作者在十岁时去美国游玩的经历,在游玩期间,作者在美国体会到了英式英语和美式英语在词汇、拼写、语法和发音上的不同。可知这篇文章的主要内容是跨文化误解。
Ⅴ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了快速有效学英语的几种方法。
1.A 根据下一句“But if you want to learn English quickly and effectively,these tips can be of great help.”可知,此处说的是学习英语的方法。所以A项“按照自己的节奏学习是完全可以接受的。”符合语境。
2.C 根据下一句“Having this type of knowledge will be fundamental to your comprehension.”可知,此处说的是掌握英语知识。所以C项“Taking a course is a great way to study the basics of English”符合语境。
3.F 根据下一句“Finding a conversation partner to do real,face-to-face practice will allow you to put your skills to the test.”可知,此处说的是找到一个真正的谈话伙伴,进行面对面的练习。F项提出了学英语时没有英语交流的弊端,符合语境。

Ⅵ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了联合国的汉语日,并且介绍了汉语在联合国的发展过程。
1.encouraging 空处和上文的现在分词celebrating为并列的状语,因此用非谓语动词,encourage和逻辑主语UN Chinese Language Day之间是主动关系,应用现在分词形式。故填encouraging。
2.sixth 结合句意表达“第六”应用序数词。故填sixth。
3.who 空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词Cang Jie指人,关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词who。
4.was allowed 空处为句子谓语,主语Chinese和谓语动词allow是被动关系,结合时间状语in 1946判断此处用一般过去时的被动语态,主语不可数,谓语动词用单数。故填was allowed。
5.commonly 修饰动词used应用副词作状语。故填commonly。
6.after 结合句意可知,此处指中国在联合国的合法权益恢复后汉语在联合国的使用情况有所改善,因此应用介词after。
7.a language“语言”是可数名词,此处表泛指,且修饰词working的发音是辅音音素开头,应用不定冠词a。故填a。
8.exhibitions 和上文screenings和discussions并列,此处应用名词的复数形式作宾语。故填exhibitions。
9.to practise opportunity后常用不定式作定语,故填to practise。
10.are learning 根据时间状语Today和语境可知,此处指目前一段时间正在发生的动作,应用现在进行时。主语more and more diplomats and UN staff是复数,谓语动词用复数形式。故填are learning。
Ⅶ.
Dear Nancy,
Learning that you are going to travel to China,I’m more than delighted.As for how to improve your spoken Chinese in a short time,I’d like to give you some suggestions as follows.
To begin with,make more Chinese friends in your daily life,with whom you can practise your spoken Chinese.What’s more,it would be also good ways to listen to Chinese songs and watch Chinese movies,which can help you broaden your horizons and gain some Chinese.Last but not least,reading and writing in Chinese will be definitely of great benefit to your oral Chinese level.
I hope you’ll make great progress in oral Chinese.
Yours,
Li Hua
Ⅷ.Hearing Momma’s words,Niesha stared at the precious blue ribbon,lost in thought.“This ribbon actually has magic power,and it’ll pass my courage on to you.” Momma continued,tying the blue ribbon to Niesha’s wrist.Running her fingers across the ribbon,Niesha seemed to feel the courage and devoted herself to practising.Finally,the important moment came.Just before Niesha were ready to do the presentation,shyness,nervousness and fear seized her,leaving her hands sweating and throat tightening.Lowering her head,Niesha fixed her eyes upon the blue ribbon on her wrist.Suddenly,courage seemed to have found its way back.With her head held high,Niesha started her speech,loud and confident,knowing that she would make it!
