16、ow many suggestions are given in the passage?AFive BFour CThree DTwoBWhen I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mothers Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly(不公平地). People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did
17、not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.My mother has realized the limitations of her English aswell. When I was fifteen, she used to have mecallpeople onphoneto pretend I was she. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at pe
18、ople who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker. I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “Thisis Mrs. Tan.”And my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly, “Why he dont send me check, already two week late.”And then, in perfect English I said: “Im ge
19、tting rather concerned. You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasnt arrived.”Then she talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I cant tolerate any more excuse. If I dont receive the check immediately, I
20、 am going to 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 tohisboss in her broken English.When I was a teenager, my mothers broken English embarrassed me. But now,
21、 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 vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and madesenseof the world.24.
22、 Why was the authors mother poorly served?A. She was unable to speak good English. B. She was often misunderstood.C. She was not clearly heard. D. She was notverypolite.25.

23、nwilling to phone for her mother26. What does the author think of her mothers English now?A. It confuses her. B. It embarrasses her.C. It helps her understand the world. D. It helps her tolerate rude people.27. We can inferfromthe passage that Chinese English _.A. is clear and natural to non-native
24、speakersB. is vivid and direct to non-native speakersC. has averybad reputation in AmericaD.maybring inconvenience(不便) in AmericaCAlong the river banks of the Amazon and the Orinoco there lives a bird that swims before it can fly, flies like a fat chicken, eats green leaves, has the stomach of a cow
25、 and has claws(爪)on its wings when young. They build their homes about 4.6m above the river, an important feature(特征) for the safety of the young. It is called the hoatzin.In appearance, the birds of both sexes look very much alike with brown on the back and cream and red on the underside. The head
26、is small, with a large set of feathers on the top, bright red eyes, and blue skin. Its nearest relatives are the common birds, cuckoos. Its most striking feature, though, is only found in the young.Baby hoatzins have a claw on the leading edge of each wing and another at the end of each wing tip. Us
27、ing these four claws, together with the beak(喙), they can climb about in the bushes, looking very much like primitive(原始的) birds must have done. When the young hoatzins have learned to fly, they lose their claws.During the drier months between December and March hoatzins fly about the forest in grou
28、ps of 20 to 30 birds, but in April, when the rainy season begins, they collect together in smaller living units of two to seven birds for producing eggs.28What is the text mainly about? AHoatzins in dry and rainy seasons. BThe relatives and enemies of hoatzins.CPrimitive birds and hoatzins of the Am
29、azon. DThe appearance and living habits of a bird, hoatzins.29Baby hoatzins are different from their parents in that_ Athey look like young cuckoos Bthey have claws on the wings Cthey eat a lot like a cow Dthey live on river banks30What can we infer about primitive birds from the text?AThey had claw
30、s to help them climb. BThey could fly long distances.CThey had four wings like hoatzins. DThey had a head with long feathers on the top.31Why do hoatzins collect together in smaller groups when the rainy season comes? ATo find more food. BTo protect themselves better. CTo keep themselves warm. DTo p
31、roduce their young.DThere are thousands of products of all colors and shapes in a supermarket, making you believe that they are worth a try. How come the products are so attractive? Packaging (包装) is the silent but persuading salesman. There on the shelves, each bottle, can, box, and jar has been ca
32、refully designed and measured to speak to the inner self of the consumer, so that he is buying not only a product but also his belief in life. Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found that the look of the package has a great effect on the “quality” of the product and on how well
33、it sells, because “Consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many packages are products,” as Louis Cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers feeling for packaging, noticed. Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of
34、eye movement have shown that colors draw human attention quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years, the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that it is very good for your body. And the word “green” today can keep food prices going up. Shapes are another attra
35、ction. Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness, because these shapes are pleasing to both the eye and the heart. Thats why the round yellow M signs of McDonalds are inviting to both young and old. This new consumer response to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers
36、that people buy to satisfy both body and soul.32According to the passage, _ seems to be able to persuade a consumer to buy the product.A. the pleasing color of the package B. the special taste of the productC. the strange shape of the package D. the belief in the product33If a package or a product i
37、s round in shape, it can _.A. bring excitement to the consumers B. attract the consumers attentionC. catch the eye movement of the consumers D. produce a happy and peaceful feeling34“And the word green today can keep food prices going up.” This sentence suggests that consumers today are _.A. startin
38、g to notice the importance of new foodB. enjoying the beauty of nature more than beforeC. beginning to like green vegetablesD. paying more attention to their health35It can be inferred from the passage that V8 is a kind of _.A. vegetable dish B. healthy juice C. iced drink D. red vegetableSection B
