69、中的“Experience the artists passionate life in the book during a trip to Central Europe”可知，Germany（德国）是属于Central Europe（中欧）的，故选D。 23. 考查推理判断。根据Life is Elsewhere, 1975, by Milan Kundera部分中的“The book invites you to deeply reflect on your current life.”可知，本书引导人们对当前生活进行深刻地反思，故选D。 【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考

When I talked to
72、my grandchildren about my wish, they said, Its not too late.

74、们有点儿不相信28. B 细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句“For a long time, i was comfortable with being from two cultures. I was fluent “Chiinglish”, 可知，在很长一段时间里，“我”对两种文化感到很舒服；“我”能流利的说“中式英语”。据此可知，作者一开始对自己的身份感到很自信，故B项正确。29. 选D。推理判断题。根据第二段第二、三句“During Chinese events when I was China, the hos would sometimes make fun of America. M
75、y relatives would look at me and laugh, asking me how I felt,并结合该段其他内容和第三段内容可知，在中国，人们会拿美国开玩笑，并问”我“的感受；据此可推知，在中国作者被他的亲戚看成美国人，所以在离开中国时他感觉自己不太像中国人，故D项正确。30. 选C 细节理解题。根据第四段尾句“Its moments like these when i realize that sometimes my appearance makes it hard for me to seem fully America”可知，正是像这样的时刻，”我“意识到有
76、时候“我”的外表让“我”很难显得完全是一个美国人。据此可知，作者的外貌让机场的那位男士不断地问作者来自哪里，故C项正确。31. 选A 标题归纳题。通读全文可知，虽然“我”是中国人，但是出生在美国，能流利地说“中式英语”，“我”熟悉两种文化，曾经对此感到自豪；但是长大后，“我”的中国亲戚拿美国开玩笑，并问“我”的感受，“我”感到很不舒服；在美国，“我”告诉他人“我”出生在美国时，“我”的外貌让他们有点儿不相信。据此可知，“我”不知道自己属于中国文化还是美国文化，这让“我”很困惑。故A项最能概括本文主旨。D篇【答案】 32-35 ADCB32.
