You may know the English letters A, B and C. But do you know there are people called ABCs? Do you know there is such a thing as “a banana person”? How strange! ABC means American-born Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States. Sometimes, people call an ABC a “banana person”. A banana is yellow outside. So, when a person is a “banana”, he or she is white inside—thinking like a Westerner and yellow outside—looking like a Chinese.
Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them don’t speak Chinese. But if ABCs cannot speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are overseas(海外的)Chinese. These people may be citizens(公民)of another country like the US, Canada or Singapore. But they have Chinese blood. Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair.
But they are not Chinese citizens. They are people of the People’s Republic of China. For example, we all know the famous scientist C. N. Yang(楊振寧). He got the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen.
【小題1】“ABCs” in this passage means .
A.three English letters | B.a(chǎn) kind of banana |
C.Chinese born in America | D.Americans born in China |
A.their bodies are white inside but yellow outside |
B.they think like Westerners but look like Chinese |
C.they were born in China but go to study in America |
D.they like to eat bananas |
A.洪水 | B.祖先 | C.血統(tǒng) | D.身份 |
A.ABCs may know little about China. | B.They are overseas Chinese. |
C.They may speak little Chinese. | D.They are Chinese citizens. |
【小題1】C
【小題2】B
【小題3】C
【小題4】D
【小題5】B
解析試題分析:這篇短文為我們介紹的是ABC,即美國出生的中國人,或外國出生的中國人。這樣的人有著中國人的外貌,中國人的血統(tǒng),但是他們不是中國的公民。也許他們不懂得中國的文化,也不會說中國話。
【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章中第二行ABC means American-born Chinese,ABC,即美國出生的中國人。A 三個(gè)英語字母;B 一種香蕉;C 美國出生的中國人;D中國出生的美國人。故選C。
【小題2】推理判斷題。文章中Sometimes, people call an ABC a “banana person”. A banana is yellow outside. So, when a person is a “banana”, he or she is white inside—thinking like a Westerner and yellow outside—looking like a Chinese.,意為,有時(shí)候人們稱ABC為香蕉人。香蕉外面是黃色的。所以香蕉人就是里面是白色的,即像西方人那樣的思考;而外面是黃色的,就像中國人一樣。故這里的香蕉人是來比喻這些有著中國人的外表卻有著西方人思想的人。故B選項(xiàng)是最佳答案。
【小題3】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)文章中But they have Chinese blood. Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair.,他們有著中國人的血統(tǒng),他們的父母、祖父母甚至曾祖父母是中國人。他們都有黑色的眼睛黑色的頭發(fā)。由此我們可以猜測,這些人雖然不是中國人,但他們有中國人的血統(tǒng)。故選C。
【小題4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后一段But they are not Chinese citizens,可知,他們不是中國的公民。故D表述不對。根據(jù)第二段Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language可知A、C選項(xiàng)表述正確;根據(jù)They are overseas Chinese可知B選項(xiàng)表述正確。故選D。
【小題5】主旨大意題。這篇文章主要為我們講述的是ABC,即海外華人。他們有著中國人的血統(tǒng),中國人的外貌,但卻不是中國公民。故選B。

The iPhone is a line of smartphones designed and marketed by Apple Inc. It runs Apple's iOS mobile operating system, known as the "iPhone OS" until mid-2010, shortly after the release of the iPad. The first generation iPhone was released on June 29, 2007, the most recent iPhone, the seventh-generation iPhone 5S, on September 20, 2013. The user interface is built around the device's multi-touch screen, including a virtual keyboard. The iPhone has Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity (2G, 3G, 4G, and LTE).
An iPhone can shoot video (though this was not a standard feature until the iPhone 3GS), take photos, play music, send and receive emails, look through the web, send texts, and receive visual voicemail. Other functions—games, reference, GPS navigation, social networking, etc.— can be enabled by downloading apps; as of 2012[update], the App Store offered more than 775,000 apps by Apple and third parties.
There are six generations of iPhone models, each accompanied by one of the six major releases of iOS. The original 1st generation iPhone was a GSM phone, and established design precedents, such as a button placement that has persisted through all models and a screen size maintained until the launch of the iPhone 5 in 2012. The iPhone 3G added 3G cellular network capabilities and A-GPS location. The iPhone 3GS added a faster processor and a higher-resolution camera that could record video at 480p. The iPhone 4 featured a higher-resolution 960 × 640 "retina display", a VGA front-facing camera for video calling and other apps, and a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera with 720p video capture. The iPhone 4S upgrades to an 8-megapixel camera with 1080p video recording, a dual-core processor, and a natural language voice control system called Siri. IPhone 5 features the new A6 processor, increases the size of the Retina display to 4 inches, and replaces the 30-pin connector with an all-digital Lightning connector.
The resounding sales of the iPhone have been credited with reshaping the smart phone industry and helping make Apple one of the world's most valuable publicly trading companies in 2011–12. However, there has been criticism of the company's outsourcing and move of jobs from the US to China. Apple and its manufacturing contractor Foxconn have received criticism due to poor working conditions at the assembly plant in China.
【小題1】An iphone is from __________.
A.the USA | B.South Korean |
C.the UK | D.Australia |
A.iphone 4 | B.iphone 4S | C.iphone 5 | D.iphone 5S |

Close contacts between Japan and the rest of the world were created in the twentieth century. In the last forty years, business contacts between Japan and the West have become very important. Many foreign companies now have offices in Japan and Japanese businessmen do business around the world. Differences between Japanese and Western ways of doing business, however, often bewilder foreign businessmen and make doing business in Japan difficult for foreigners.
The American businessman, for example, wants to start talking business immediately. He does not want to wait. The Japanese businessman, on the other hand, likes to arrive at decisions after giving them serious thought. Another thing foreign businessmen have difficulty in understanding is when a Japanese means “Yes” or “No”. This is because of cultural differences between Japanese and Western society(社會), Which make it difficult for a Japanese to say “No” directly.
In the USA, it is easy to say “No” to something one does not want to do. But in Japan, it is very difficult to say “No”. To refuse an invitation or a request(請求) with “No” is felt to be impolite. It is thought to be selfish and unfriendly. So instead of saying “No” directly, the Japanese have developed many ways to avoid(避免) saying “No”. These can help them avoid hurting other people’s feelings. However, this often makes their ways of doing business rather difficult for foreigners to understand and follow.
【小題1】What often makes foreigners feel difficult to do business in Japan?
A.Their different ways of doing business. |
B.Their different lifestyles. |
C.The fact that the Japanese never say “No”. |
D.The fact that the Japanese are slow to take action. |
A.cause foreign businessmen to change their minds. |
B.give a feeling of surprise to foreign businessmen. |
C.a(chǎn)ttract foreign businessmen’s attention. |
D.make foreign businessmen think wrongly. |
A.American businessmen do things more slowly than Japanese ones. |
B.American businessmen like to say “Yes” and “No”. |
C.Americans usually say what they are thinking. |
D.Americans do not say what they think or feel clearly. |
A.Japanese businessmen are good at business |
B.foreign businessmen should try to know Japanese ways of doing business |
C.foreign businessmen must be more polite |
D.you must learn from Japanese businessmen if you want to succeed |

English is also an international language in many other countries,like China and Japan. People in these countries use it for business,and travelers to these countries use English when they get there to communicate.

Some people have a kind of magic. They will make you comfortable while they are around. You feel at ease while talking to them. How is it done? Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they'll help people feel relaxed and make friends with them quickly.
First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. One well-known businesswoman says, "At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. It's a common question, but it will get things going." From there you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really personal questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.
Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isn't. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what kind of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively. Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the topic of conversation. If someone insists on one topic, it means he's really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to the voice. If the voice sounds bored, then, it's time for you to change the topic.
Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the moment of saying good-bye. If you're saying it, you may give him a handshake and say, "I've really enjoyed meeting you." If you want to see that person again, don't keep it a secret. Let people know your thoughts.
【小題1】Asking questions might be a quite good and suitable way ________.
A.for you to make more and more new friends |
B.to begin your business talks |
C.to get things going |
D.for you to make a deep and lasting impression on others |
A.a(chǎn)gree with what others say all the time |
B.listen to his reply attentively |
C.wait impatiently for his answer |
D.go on asking him more questions |
A.a(chǎn)re not good at making any topic interesting |
B.never talk too much or too little |
C.a(chǎn)lways speak in a gentle way |
D.know when they should change the topic of the talk |
A.you may take him as your lifelong true friend |
B.it seems necessary for you to let him know it |
C.it's proper for you to give him a second handshake |
D.it'll be helpful for you to have further understanding of him |
