【语篇导读】本文讲述了作者初到美国时追求标准的英语口语,但是后来意识到了母语口音的特殊意义,所以作者改变初衷,在讲英语时加入了一些母语口音,以此表明自己的文化渊源。1.A.put B.pronouncedC.used D.understood【解析】选B。上下文语境题。从本段后文accent(口音)一词的使用以及下文的描述可以看出,作者是在讨论英语发音的问题。2.A.fluency B.senseC.quality D.interest【解析】选A。词义辨析题。根据Youneedanaccenttostandout可知作者认为,要成为the“meltingpot(熔炉)”的一部分,一口流利的英语是不够的,你还需要借助口音(accent)使自己脱颖而出。3.A.nervous B.stupidC.strange D.curious【解析】选A。上下文语境题。根据最后一段中的“Iamnolongeranervousforeigner”来看,作者初次到美国时的感觉应是“紧张”。4.A.valuable B.differentC.dangerous D.foolish【解析】选B。逻辑推理题。从作者设定的目标“TotalklikeanAmerican”来看,作者试图掩饰自己与别人不一样的地方。5.A.interesting B.rareC.common D.special【解析】选C。词义辨析题。从下文学生的抱怨“...NotanotherinternationalTA...”来看,这种抱怨在由外籍助教教授的美国学生中是很普遍的。interesting“有趣的”;rare“罕见的”;common“普遍的”;special“特殊的”。根据语境可知答案选C。6.A.accent B.troubleC.Chinese D.English【解析】选A。词汇复现题。从前文可知外籍助教由于受母语口音的影响,在上课时会被美国学生抱怨。他们不愿再听到这样的口音。7.A.so B.such C.much D.many【解析】选B。固定搭配题。根据句中的that可排除C、D两项。such...that...和so...that...均可表示“如此……以至于……”,但用法不同。当被修饰的词是不可数名词时,只能用“such+adj.+不可数名词+that...”结构。8.A.praise B.encourageC.criticize D.teach【解析】选A。上下文语境题。结合语境“我讲的英语’几乎没有了口音’”,以及下文中的praise一词可知答案。9.A.regarded B.mistakenC.treated D.thought【解析】选B。固定搭配题。mistake...for...“把……误认为是……”。因为作者的英语口语中几乎没有了母语的口音,所以误认为他是来自其他一些地方的人。10.A.countries B.cities C.states D.places【解析】选D。上下文语境题。下文所列举的不仅仅是一些国家的名字,还包括一些地区,所以应选择D。11.A.related B.joinedC.absorbed D.connected【解析】选C。词义辨析题。句意:我是不是通过被同化(absorb)到一种新文化中来否定自己的过去?通过理解句意可排除其他选项。relate“与……相关”;join“连接,接合”;connect“连接”。12.A.doubt B.regret C.notice D.realize【解析】选D。逻辑推理题。现在作者意识到了母语口音的特殊意义。doubt“怀疑”;regret“后悔”;notice“注意到”;realize“意识到”。根据语境可确定答案选D。13.A.changed B.droppedC.replaced D.taken【解析】选C。上下文语境题。结合前后文理解,作者初到美国时因母语口音造成的紧张感已经消失,取而代之的是坚持自己文化渊源的渴望。bereplacedby“被……取代”。14.A.origins B.beliefsC.knowledge D.understanding【解析】选A。逻辑推理题。根据下文作者在说英语时有意识地加入一些汉语“口音”,可推断作者以此来体现自己的文化渊源。15.A.poor B.ChineseC.perfect D.British【解析】选C。逻辑推理题。作者初到美国时追求的是标准的英语口语,但后来意识到母语口音的特殊意义,于是作者不再追求标准的英语口语了。Ⅳ.语法填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。MostpeoplewhenvisitingEnglandwillgotoLondon.1.fact,mostpeopledon’tevenknowmuchaboutEnglandoutsideofLondon.However,as2.northerngirl,fromaplacejustbetweenManchesterandLiverpool,andauniversitystudentinSheffield,I’dsaythenorthiswellworth3.(visit).Herearefivereasons:Friendliness:Northernerswillchattoyouonthebus,sayhellointhestreetsandwon’tthinkyou’recrazyifyousmileat4.(they)whenyouwalkpast.5.(friend)northernersmightalsocallyou“duck”or“love”;don’tworry,theycalleveryonethat.Gravy(肉汁):Althoughsouthernershavegravy,adeliciousmeatysauce6.goeswellwitheverything,theydon’tdoit7.(proper).Youhaven’tliveduntilyou’vetriedchip-shopchipsswimmingingravy.BeautifulCountryside:WehavethePeakDistrict,andtheLakeDistrict.They’rebothabsolutelybeautiful.Wealsohavesomeprettyamazing8.(beach)too.ExcellentPartyCities:WehaveManchester,Liverpool,Newcastle,Sheffield...Youcan’tgowrongifyouwant9.(go)onanightouthere.Cheap:Thesamenightwon’tcostyouanywherenearasmuchupnorth!Forsomereason,everythingupNorthis10.(cheap)thanthatinLondon,fromfoodtodrinktogettingaround.TherearelotsoflovelythingstoseeintheNorth,soifyoucanbravetheweatherbeingabitcolderandwetter,it’swellworthatrip.【语篇概述】本文讲述了值得去英国北部旅游的几大理由。1.【解析】In。考查固定搭配。infact“事实上”。句意:事实上,大多数人除了伦敦对英国了解不多。2.【解析】a。考查冠词。此处表示“一名北方女孩”。3.【解析】visiting。考查固定结构。beworthdoing“值得做……”。4.【解析】them。考查代词。根据前面的介词at可知此处用代词的宾格。5.【解析】Friendly。考查形容词。空格后的northerners是名词,所以前面用形容词修饰。friendly“友好的”。6.【解析】which/that。考查关系代词。设空处引导限制性定语从句,修饰sauce,且在从句中作主语,故填which/that。7.【解析】properly。考查副词。此处修饰动词do,所以用副词形式。8.【解析】beaches。考查名词单复数。beach是可数名词。根据前文的some可知此处用复数。9.【解析】togo。考查动词不定式。want后接动词不定式作宾语。10.【解析】cheaper。考查形容词比较级。根据后面的than可知此处用比较级。阅读理解IwasbornandraisedinEnglandinaculturewhereprivacyand“keepingyourselftoyourself”werevaluedtraditions.Speakingtostrangerswasnotencouraged.Peopleweremosthospitable(好客的)andfriendly—butonlyoncetheyhadbeenintroducedtonewpeople.However,IhavebeenluckyenoughtospendsometimeinbothItalyandtheUS,whereIfoundtraditionsofhospitalityandpolitenesstobeverydifferent.IexperiencedItalianhospitalityfirst-handonacrowdedrailwaycarriagetravelling,oneafternoon,fromGenoatoFlorence.Sinkinggratefullyintoanemptyseat,Iwasberated(斥责)inrapidItalianbyagentlemanwhowasreturningtothisseat—ithadnotbeen“spare”afterall.IapologizedinEnglish,andgotuptoallowhimbackintotheseat.ThegentlemanobviouslyhadnounderstandingoftheEnglishlanguage,buthe,too,realizedmygenuinemistake.Hesmiledandgesturedformetoremainintheseat,andhehimselfremainedstandinginthecorridorfortheremainderofthejourney.Theotheroccupantsofthecarriagesmiledandnoddedatmeandmademefeelquitewelcomeamongthem.IfeelthatifthishadbeeninEngland,aforeignerwhomadeamistakewouldnotalwaysbesokindlytreated.TransportalsofeaturedinthedifferencesInoticedbetweenEnglishandAmericanculture.IflewtoNewYorkonaplanewithmainlyEnglishpassengers.Wesattogetherinnearsilence.Nobodyspoketomenor,asIexpected,toanyoneelsetheydidnotknow.Theyfeltitwasnotpolitetointrudeonsomeoneelse’sprivacy.However,whenItravelledacrosstheUnitedStates,whetherbyplaneorGreyhoundbus,Iwasnevershortofconversation.Conversationwasgoingonallaroundmeandwhoeversatnexttomewashappytointroducethemselvesandaskmeaboutmyself.Theyobviouslyfeltitwouldhavebeenrudenottospeaktoanotherperson,whethertheywerestrangersornot.【语
