People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.My mother has realized the disadvantages of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker. I said in a voice that was not very convincing, This is Mrs. Tan. And my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly, Why he doesnt send me the cheek. Its already two weeks late.And then, in perfect English I said: Im getting rather anxious .You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasnt arrived.Then she talked more loudly. What does he want? Ill come to New York and say it in front of his boss.And so I turned to the stockbroker again, I cant accept any more excuses. If I dont receive the check immediately, I 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 mothers broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mothers English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is clear and direct. It was the language that helped me form the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.【小题1】Why was the authors mother poorly treated?AShe couldnt speak English well.BHer English was very good.CShe was not clearly heard.DShe was not very polite.【小题2】From Paragraph 2, what can we know about the author?AShe was good at pretending.BShe was rude to the stockbroker.CShe was ready to help her mother.DShe was unwilling to phone for her mother【小题3】What does the author think of her mothers English now?AIt confuses her.BIt embarrasses her.CIt helps her understand the world.DIt helps her forgive rude people.【小题4】What can we infer from the passage?AChinese English is clear and natural to native speakers.BChinese English may bring inconvenience in America.CChinese English has a very bad name in America.DChinese English is impolite to native speakers.【小题5】What is the best title of the passage?AGreat MotherBA ChanceCMothers Chinese EnglishDPerfect English（1）Why was the authors mother poorly treatedA .

This is of course not true. _ Irony may show up in American comedies(喜剧), but people there dont use it as much as the British do in daily life._ It actually runs in the blood of the British people. They use it as much as prepositions(介词) in everyday conversations, as a way of playing with their friends and laughing at their enemies, as well as themselves. This may sometimes make people unhappy if the listeners are not used to it._ After Americans use irony, they will clearly say that they are only kidding. They feel the need to make a joke clearer so that it will not make other people uncomfortable.Humor is tied so much to culture. American jokes are more clear and forward, a bit like Americans themselves. _ This may result from the fact that British culture is more reserved(矜持的) than American culture.However, we still find that certain American comedies have made huge success in Britain and vice versa(反之亦然). _A. Things are quite different in America.B. Therefore, although there are differences between both comic styles, there is still an appreciation(欣赏) and understanding of the others sense of humor.C. But what is true is that Americans dont use it all the time.D. However, irony is common in British culture.E. British jokes, on the other hand, are more subtle and usually with a hidden meaning.6. （5分）任务型阅读_You look great in your new overcoat._What parts of his body did he hurt?_Why not write down the new words in your notebook?_The sigh says “Smoking allowed outside.” What does it mean?_What was your first teacher like?A.
