of requests for Chinese au pairs from zero to around 4,000 since xx.And thats true all across the country.“I thought it would be very useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age，” Joseph Stocke，the managing director of a pany，says of his 2yearold son.“I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future.” After only six months of being cared for by a 25yearold woman from China，the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions，his dad says.Li Drake，a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband，had another reason for looking for an au pair from China：She didnt want her children to miss out on their roots.“Because I am Chinese，my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to(接触) the language and culture(文化)，” she says.“Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom，” says Suzanne Flynn，a professor in language education of children.“But parents must understand that just one year with an au pair is unlikely to produce wondersplete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12.”The popularity of au pairs from China has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children to learn Chinese.It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years.9What does the term “au pair” in the text mean?AA mother raising her children on her own.BA child learning a foreign language at home.CA professor in language education of children.DA young foreign woman taking care of children.答案D解析推理判断题。由第二段中约瑟夫请了一个25岁的中国女子照顾他两岁的儿子，以此给儿子创造学习汉语的机会，和第三段中一位华侨母亲也以这种方式教育自己的两个孩子，以及第四段中一位语言教授提到的“和说母语的人在一起学习语言比在教室好”等信息可知，au pair指的是负责照顾孩子的外国保姆。故选D项。10Li Drake has her children study Chinese because she wants them .Ato live in China some dayBto speak the language at homeCto catch up with other childrenDto learn about the Chinese culture答案D解析细节理解题。结合第三段的内容可知，她本是一名中国人，但还是请了一位说汉语的保姆来让孩子们学习汉语，再根据她所说的话可知，她这样做的目的是让孩子们接触中国的语言和文化，故选D项。11What can we infer from the text?ALearning Chinese is being popular in America.BEducated women do better in looking after children.CChinese au pairs need to improve their English skills.DChildren can learn a foreign language well in six months.答案A解析推理判断题。本文通过列举一些具体的例子，说明了美国的父母们正在兴起一种“au pair”热，即通过请说汉语的中国保姆来照顾自己的孩子，从而让孩子们有机会学习汉语。这说明了汉语在美国日益受到欢迎，因此选A项。Step Two找出信息句学会分析1(9题信息句)“Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom，” says Suzanne Flynn，a professor in language education of children.分析：动名词staying with a native speaker作主语，谓语动词用第三人称单数；a professor in language education of children作Suzanne Flynn的同位语。翻译：“和一个外国本地人呆在一起的儿童比简单地坐在教室里学习语言的儿童学起外语要好地多，” 苏珊弗林说，她是一位儿童语言教育方面的教授。2(11题信息句)The popularity of au pairs from China has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children to learn Chinese.分析：介词短语of au pairs from China作定语，修饰主语the popularity；定语从句who want their children to learn Chinese修饰先行词American parents。翻译：越来越多的美国家长对中国保姆的普及起加强作用，她们希望自己的孩子学习中文。Step

kindergarten.Several weeks later，my sons teacher asked me to meet him at his office.In the teachers office，an exchange of greetings was followed by his questions：“Is your son mentally retarded(弱智的)？Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability？”Was he talking about my wonderful Scola？No，no，it cant be.What a helpless，lonely moment！I told him that Scola was a quiet，sweet little boy，instead.I asked him why he was asking me all these questions.My son could not follow the teachers directions，he told me，and thus，Scola was disrupting the class.Didnt he know my son did not speak English yet?He was angry：“Why hasnt your son been taught to speak English？Dont you speak English at home？”No，I didnt speak English at home，I replied.I was sure my son would learn English in a couple of months，and I didnt want him to forget his native language.Well，wrong answer！What kind of person would not speak in English to her son at home and at all times？“Are you one of those people who e to this country to save dollars and send them back to their country，never wanting to be a part of this society？”Needless to say，I tried to tell him I was not one of “those people.”Then he told me the meeting was over，and I left.As I had expected，my son learned to speak English fluently before the school year was over.He went on to graduate from college and got a job，earning close to six figures.He travels widely and leads a welladjusted，contented life.And he has benefited from being bilingual(双语的)Speaking more than one language allows people to municate with others；it teaches people about other cultures and other placessomething very basic and obviously lacking in the “educator” I met in New Jersey.57The teacher asked the author to his office .Ato discuss Scolas inclass performanceBto get Scola enrolled in kindergartenCto find a language partner for ScolaDto work out a study plan for Scola答案A解析推理判断题。由文章第二段可知老师叫作者去是讨论孩子在班级表现的问题。58What does the underlined word “disrupting” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?ABreaking. BFollowing.CAttending. DDisturbing.答案D解析词义猜测题。由第四段大意可知，“我”的儿子不听老师的命令，thus(因此)，Scola是在扰乱(disrupting)课堂，即disturbing。break打碎；follow the class听懂课堂内容；attend the class上课。59The authors attitude towards being bilingual may best be described as .Acritical BcasualCpositive Dpassive答案C解析作者态度题。从文章最后一段可知作者的态度。critical批评的；casual漫不经心的；positive积极的，肯定的；passive被动的，消极的。60This text is likely to be selected from a book of .Amedicine BeducationCgeography Dhistory答案B解析文章出处题。文章最后一段点明主题。作者想通过自己的经历告诉读者：多学一门语言是有好处的，每个教育者都应该意识到这一点。5年真题拓展训练(2)真题深度阅读训练Step One真题体验(xx新课标全国阅读理解C)It happened to me recently.I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obamas Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President.A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was，in his words，“a brilliantly(精彩地) written book”However，he then went on to talk about Mr.Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all.I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.And it seems that my friend is not the only one.Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they havent.In the World Book Days “Report on Guilty Secrets”，Dreams From My Father is at number 9.The report lists ten books，and various authors，which people have lied about reading，and as Im not one to lie too often (Id hate to be caught out)，Ill admit here and now that I havent read the entire top ten.But I am pleased to say that，unlike 42 percent of people，I have read the book at number one，George Orwells 1984.I think its really brilliant.The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it.It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen，Charles Dickens，Fyodor Dostoevsky (I havent read him，but havent lied about it either) and Herman Melville.Asked why they lied，the most mon reason was to “impress” someone they were speaking to.This could be tricky if the conversation became more indepth!But when asked which authors they actually enjoy，people named JK.Rowling，John Grisham，Sophie Kinsella (ah，the big sellers，in other words)Fortytwo percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story (Ill e clean：I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so)64How did the author find his friend a book liar?ABy judging his manner of speaking.BBy looking into his background.CBy mentioning a famous name.DBy discussing the book itself.答案D解析推理判断题。根据文章第一段的最后两句“However，he then went on to talk about Mr.Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all.I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.”可以推断出通过讨论这本书的内容作者进而发现朋友在撒谎，故选D。65Which of the following is a “guilty secret” according to the World Book Day report?ACharles Dickens is very low on the topten list.B42% of people pretended to have read 1984.CThe author admitted having read 9 books.DDreams From My Father is hardly read.答案B解析细节理解题。根据文章第二段最后两句“But I am pleased to say that，unlike 42 percent of people，I have read the book at number one，George Orwells 1984.I think its really brilliant.”可知答案。选项A和D提到的细节在文中是有出现，但是选项的内容无法从文章中得出结论；选项C的信息作者在本文没有叙述。66By lying about reading，a person hopes to .Acontrol the conversationBappear knowledgeableClearn about the bookDmake more friends答案B解析推理判断题。根据文章第四段第一句“Asked why they lied，the most mon reason was to impress someone they were speaking to.”可知答案为B项。67What is the authors attitude to 58% of readers?AFavorable. BUncaring.CDoubtful. DFriendly.答案C解析作者态度题。结合文章大意，以及文中最后出现的“.am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so”可知，作者对58% of readers持怀疑态度，故C项(怀疑的)符合文意。选项B(不予关注的)，显然错误，作者若不予以关注就不会写出这篇文章。Step Two找出信息句学会分析1(64题信息句)However，he then went on to talk about Mr.Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all.分析：a way后的which引导的句子是一个定语从句，which在从句中作主语，也可以换成that，但是不能省略；如果the way/a way后面的定语从句中不缺主语或宾语，常常用that/in which引导，也可以省略。翻译：然而，接下来他继续谈论奥巴马，种种迹象显示这位朋友对奥巴马的背景一无所知。2(65题信息句)But I am pleased to say that，unlike 42 percent of people，I have read the book at number one，George Orwells 1984.I think its really brilliant.分析：that引导谓语动词say的宾语从句；George Orwells 1984是the book at number one的同位语，起到“补充说明”的作用。翻译：但是我可以很开心地说，我有读过榜上第一的George Orwell的1984，而不像42%的人们那样没读过还假装读过。我觉得这本书真的很棒。3(67题信息句)Ill e clean: I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so.分析：从句that 58 percent.是一个宾语从句，作句子表语am astonished的宾语；从句they had never done so前省略了连接代词that，作said的宾语从句。翻译：我要声明：我自己也这么做，而且很惊异居然有58%的人声称自己从未这样做过。Step Three深度阅读与拓展训练任务型阅读篇章结构任务型阅读微写作请用约40个词改写文章的第一段。参考范文When one day I told a friend how much I had enjoyed reading Barack

with The Weather.Such a fixation with the weather finds expression in Dr.Johnsons famous ment that “When two English meet，their first talk is of weather.” Though Johnsons observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago，most mentators fail to e up with a convincing explanation for this English weatherspeak.Bill Bryson，for example，concludes that，as the English weather is not at all exciting，the obsession with it can hardly be understood.He argues that “To an outsider，the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it.” Simply，the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles.Jeremy Paxman，however，disagrees with Bryson，arguing that the English weather is by nature attractive.Bryson is wrong，he says，because the English preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenomena.“The interest is less in the phenomena themselves，but in uncertainty.” According to him，the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the English as well as the outsider.Bryson and Paxman stand for mon misconceptions about the weatherspeak among the English.Both mentators，somehow，are missing the point.The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all.English weatherspeak is a system of signs，which is developed to help the speakers overe the natural reserve and actually talk to each other.Everyone knows conversations starting with weatherspeak are not requests for weather data.Rather，they are routine greetings，conversation starters or the blank “fillers”In other words，English weatherspeak is a means of social bonding.72The author mentions Dr.Johnsons ment to show that .Amost mentators agree with Dr.JohnsonBDr.Johnson is famous for his weather observationCthe ment was accurate two hundred years agoDEnglish conversations usually start with the weather答案D解析细节理解题。作者提到Dr.Johnson的评论是为了解释第一句话“It is widely known that any English conversation begins with The Weather.”故答案为D项。73What does the underlined word “obsession” most probably refer to?AA social trend.BAn emotional state.CA historical concept.DAn unknown phenomenon.答案B解析词义猜测题。划线词所在句意为“正如英国的天气令人难以捉摸一样，英国人为什么以谈论天气开始交流同样令人费解”，并结合上段可知，划线单词意为“着迷”，这是一种情感状态，故答案为B项。74According to the passage，Jeremy Paxman believes that .ABill Bryson has little knowledge of the weatherBthere is nothing special about the English weatherCthe English weather attracts people to the British IslesDEnglish people talk about the weather for its uncertainty答案D解析细节理解题。由第三段中的“The interest is less in the phenomena themselves，but in uncertainty.”可知，答案为D项。75What is the authors main purpose of writing the passage?ATo explain what English weatherspeak is about.BTo analyse misconceptions about the English weather.CTo find fault with both Bill Bryson and Jeremy Paxman.DTo convince people that the English weather is changeable.答案A解析写作意图题。文章一开始就提出了要谈论的话题“It is widely known that any English conversation begins with The Weather.”，然后介绍了两个人的不同观点，最后作了总结，故作者写此文的目的是解释Why does English conversation begin with the weather？的问题。5年真题拓展训练(3)真题深度阅读训练Step One真题体验(xx新课标全国阅读理解D)The
