举一反三
In 1883,an engineer named John Roebling intended to build a bridge connecting New York with the Long Island.  36 ,experts throughout the world thought it impossible and not  37  .
Roebling couldn’t  38  the vision in his mind of this bridge. He knew deep in his heart it could be done. He just had to  39  the dream with someone else. After much persuasion he managed to  40  his son Washington,a young engineer,that the bridge  41  could be built.
Working together,the father and son developed concepts of  42  it could be accomplished and how the difficulties could be  43  . With great  44  and inspiration,they hired their crew and began to build their dream bridge.
The project started well,but unfortunately an accident took the life of John. Washington was injured and left with a brain damage, 45  him not being able to walk or talk or even move.
Everyone had a  46  comment to make and felt the project should be trashed. In  47  of his disability,Washington still had a burning  48  to complete the bridge and his mind was still as  49  as ever.
He tried to pass on his  50  to some of his friends. Suddenly an idea  51  him as he lay in hospital. All he could do was move one finger and he decided to make the best  52  of it. By moving this,he slowly developed a code of communication with his wife. He used the method of tapping her arm to tell the engineers what to do. It seemed foolish  53  the project was under way again.
For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wife’s arm,until the Brooklyn Bridge was finally completed.
Perhaps this is one of the best examples of a never-say-die  54  that overcomes a terrible physical handicap and  55  an impossible goal.

“It was cool,because I got a chance to be in a studio and see how a record is made,”says 14-year-old Javon Martin,who joined the music clubhouse 3 years ago.“It has impacted my life in a big way. People are actually starting to see me as an artist.”Ten-year-old Akheylah Hunter didn’t play an instrument when she became a club member last year. Now,she plays piano and sings with the band. What she likes best,she says,is performing.“We performed in different places,”she says.“We go on trips and it is fun.”
Since the Music Clubhouse opened three years ago,it’s served almost 500 kids.Aggeler says performing in front of different audiences helps the young musicians build self-esteem.Coming to the club to prepare for those performances helps them learn how to deal with their personal problems and concerns.
“I can see what it does for them and it just develops confidence,”he explains.“It’s also an escape from the big problems we have in the neighborhood. So whether they feel embarrassed about a zit on their face,or they feel embarrassed because they’re not as tall as somebody,they can rap about it and let it out a little bit.”
To expand the club and help more kids learn music,Aggeler sought the support of the community. The Berklee College of Music and local music stores have provided free equipment. The club has also gotten support from the Music and Youth Initiative,a nonprofit that develops after school music education programs in underserved communities in Massachusetts. All these have made it possible to provide kids who may not have the means to get private music lessons the opportunity to still learn music and get all the benefits that music education brings.”
小题1:Why does the writer mention the two children in the first paragraph?
A.To tell readers that all children like music.
B.To provide examples of how children like the club.
C.To convince readers that music can solve many problems.
D.To show readers how to discover children’s potentials.
小题2:Which of the following was NOT mentioned as a benefit of joining the club?
A.Helping the youngsters to build self-confidence.
B.Helping its members escape from problems.
C.Learning to deal with personal problems.
D.Learning to get help from nonprofit groups.
小题3:What is Mr.Aggeler’s possible post?
A.An organizer of the club.B.A conductor of the band.
C.An expert in child problems.D.A parent of one of the children.
小题4:What does the writer intend the passage to be?
A.An advertisement for a club.
B.A promotion of some non-profit groups.
C.An introduction of a music club for children.
D.A try to call for attention on children’s needs.

I am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language — the way it can evoke(唤起) an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them all — all the Englishes I grew up with.
Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, I"ve been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as "broken" English. But I feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than "broken", as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked certain wholeness. I"ve heard other terms used, "limited English," for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including people"s perceptions(认识) of the limited English speaker.
I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother"s "limited" English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.
I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I won"t get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for a lack of a better term might be described as "broken", and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal (内在的) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure: I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show; her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.
46. 小题1:By saying "Language is the tool of my trade", the author means that ______.
A.she uses English in foreign tradeB.she is fascinated by languages
C.she works as a translatorD.she is a writer by profession
47. 小题2:The author used to think of her mother"s English as ______.
A.impoliteB.amusingC.imperfectD.practical
48. 小题3:Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?
A.Americans do not understand broken English.
B.The author"s mother was not respected sometimes.
C.The author" mother had positive influence on her.
D.Broken English always reflects imperfect thoughts.
49. 小题4:The author gradually realizes her mother"s English is _____.
A.well structuredB.in the old style
C.easy to translateD.rich in meaning
50. 小题5:What is the passage mainly about?
A.The changes of the author"s attitude to her mother"s English.
B.The limitation of the author"s perception of her mother.
C.The author"s misunderstanding of "limited" English.
D.The author"s experiences of using broken English.
