阅读理解。     He wanted to go to college, and the only thing that might have stopped him was his disability.
     But this year, Zhang Yan and other physically disabled kids can realize their dream just like any other
students.
     As registration (报名) for this year"s college entrance examinations draws near, the government has
loosened its requirements on physical examinations for new college students.
     A new rule was jointly decided in March by the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Health and the
China Disabled Persons" Federation. It clearly states that no student should be rejected (拒绝) simply because
they have a physical disability.
     Schools may still advise disabled students on the choice of their major if it is likely to affect their future
chances of employment . However ,the final decision will be up to the student.,
     "Now I can just go ahead and do my best in the exams. I don"t have to worry that my healthier classmates
will have the upper hand because of my disability," said Zhang happily.
     The 18-year-old boy will graduate this year from a Chengdu high school in Sichuan Province .He lost an
eye during an accident as a child.
     Zhang"s mother called Peking University to ask if her son"s eye problem would make it difficult for him to
accepted by the university"s Bio-chemistry Department. She was happy to find out that their choice of students would be based "fairly" on exam results.
     "The university official said my son would be judged at the same level as other students ,” said Zhang"s
mother. 1. From the report we can infer that Zhang Yan probably _____.A. is not sure of his success in the coming exam
B. does a very good job in his studies.
C. will not be chosen by the Peking University.
D. shows not much interest in Peking University. 2. From the 5th paragraph we can infer that ___. A. some colleges have strict limits to disabled students
B. a major is not important to disabled students.

D. students may have difficulty finding a job if their major is not chosen properly. 3. Which of the following statements is WRONG according to the report? A. There will be no physical examinations for new college students this year.
B. Zhang Yan has some interest in Bio-chemistry.
C. Examination marks are quite important to students.
D. Many colleges used to set limits to disabled students. 4. Which can be the best headline for this report? A. Zhang Yan Will Go To University.

     "Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton (骨骼) in the closet (衣橱)?"
Jessica asked. "A skeleton in the closet?" her mother paused thoughtfully. "Well, it"s something that you would
rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad"s family had been arrested
for stealing a horse, it would be a skeleton in his family"s closet. He really wouldn"t want any neighbor to know
about it."
     "Why pick on my family?" Jessica"s father said with anger. "Your family history isn"t so good, you know.
Wasn"t your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?" "Yes, but
people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners." "Gosh, sorry
I asked. I think I understand now," Jessica cut iin before things grew worse.
     After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica"s parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother
was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending
to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica"s closet.
Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a
bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica"s mother sank in a faint (晕倒), waking only when Jessica put a
cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.
     "What happened? Where am I?" she asked. "You just destroyed the school"s skeleton, Mum," explained
Jessica. "I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as
I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad." Jessica looked in amazement as
her parents began to laugh madly. "They"re both crazy," she thought.

1. According to Jessica"s mother, "a skeleton in the close" means _____.

A. a family honor
B. a family secret
C. a family story
D. a family treasure

2. What can we learn about some Australians" ancestors form Paragraph 2?

A. They were brought to Australia as prisoners.
B. They were the earliest people living in Australia.
C. They were involved in some crimes in Australia.
D. They were not regarded as criminals in their days.

3. Why did Jessica bring a skeleton home?

A. She was curious about it.
B. She planned to keep it for fun.
C. She needed it for her school task.
D. She intended to scare her parents.

4. Jessica"s parents laughed madly at the end of the story probably because _____.

A. they were crazy

C. they realized their misunderstanding
D. they both thought they had won the quarrel

     I grew up poor-living in the housing projects (住房) with six brothers, three sisters, a varying assortment
(各式各样东西的混合) of foster kids (养子), my father, and a wonderful mother, Scarlette Hunley. We had
little money and few worldly goods, but plenty of love and attention. I was   1   and energetic. I understood
that no matter how poor a person was, he could still   2   a dream.
     My dream was   3 . By the time I was sixteen, I could crush a baseball, and hit anything that moved on
the baseball field. I was also   4 : My high school Coach Jarvis, who not only believed in me, but taught me
how to believe in myself. He   5   me the difference between having a dream and showing conviction (信念).
One particular incident with Coach Jarvis changed my life forever.
    It was the summer between my junior and senior years, and a friend   6   me for a summer job. This meant
a chance for money in my pocket-cash for dates with girls, certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes,
and the   7   of savings for a house for my mother. The prospect of a summer job was attractive and interesting,
and l wanted to jump at the opportunity. Then I realized I would have to   8   summer baseball to handle the
work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn"t be playing.
     When I told Coach Jarvis, he was   9   as I expected him to be. "You have your whole life to work," he said.
"Your  10  days are limited. You can"t afford to waste them."
     I stood before him with my head hanging, trying to think of the words that would explain to him why my
dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his  11  to me.
     "How much are you going to make at this job, son?" He demanded.
     "3.5 dollars an hour." I replied.
     "Well," he asked, "Is $3.5 an hour the price of a dream?"
    That question, the plainness of it, laid here for me the difference between wanting something right now and
having a goal. I delicated myself to sports that summer and with the year I was hired by the Pittsburgh Pirates
to play baseball, and was  12  a $20,000 contract. I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1998 for $1.7 million,
and bought my mother the house of my dreams.

     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 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 a 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 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.

1. By saying "Language is the tool of my trade", the author means that _____.

A. she uses English in foreign trade
B. she is fascinated by languages
C. she works as a translator
D. she is a writer by profession

2. The author used to think of her mother"s English as _____.

A. impolite
B. amusing
C. imperfect
D. practical

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.

4. The author gradually realizes her mother"s English is _____.

A. well structured
B. in the old style
C. easy to translate
D. rich in meaning

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.
