17、as your eighth book. Thats because it took me six or seven attempts at a second novel before I started and completed this one. Why do you think you had so many false starts?I would say that my reasons were wrong: I was trying to prove that I wasnt just a mother-daughter storyteller, or I was trying
18、to prove that I didnt just have to write about things that were strictly Chinese or Chinese-American. Those were never the right reasons for writing those early stories. And I could never come up with other better reasons for continuing them. What kept you going on this book?This book was different
19、because it was based on my mothers real life. The reason for writing it became more personal and emotional. After The Joy Luck Club came out, my mother was always explaining to people that she wasnt any of the mothers in that book. And at one point she said to me, “Next book tells my true story. ”An
20、d then she started telling me things I never knew before. She also told me many, many stories, because my mother doesnt generalize. The book really grew out of that. Have you ever visited China?Yes. Ive been there twice: about three years ago and then again last November, both times with my mother a
21、nd my husband. Was it difficult to capture the Chinese- American dialect without sounding like a parody（拙劣的模仿）?No, because its the language Ive heard all my life from my mother. She speaks English as its direct translation from Chinese. But its more than that: Her language also has more imagery than
22、 English. Can you think of an example?Somebody might say to me, “Dont work so hard. Youll kill yourself. ”My mother will say to me, “Why do you press all your brains out on this page for someone else?”So its very vivid. Thats the way she talks. Have many readers told you that the Chinese mother in y
23、our book reminded them of the typical Jewish mother?Many people have told me that. I think the mother-daughter relationship is very intense in both cases. Culturally there is an acceptance that mothers have the power to tell their children, especially their daughters, how to conduct their livesnot s
24、imply up until the time they are 18, but for the rest of their lives. However, when children grow up in a different culture from their parents, they tend to keep more secrets from their parents. The children think, “They just wouldnt understand that I had to do this. ”And that can really create a ga
25、p, and it can grow as the number of secrets grows. 36. Based on the questions in this interview, what do you think Ms Tans profession is?A. A journalist. B. A storywriter. C. An interviewer. D. An interviewee. 37. What s TRUE about Tan s second book?A. Its about her real life in America. B. The name
26、 of the book is The Joy Luck Club. C. It is the result of many times of careful thought. D. It includes many works of her mother. 38. Which question is NOT answered in the interview?A. How does she think of her mothers language?B. How many books does she plan to write?C. When did she visit China?D.
27、How is generation gap created?39. We can infer that _. A. Tans mother is a good storytellerB. Tan plans to write another book about her motherC. Tan plans to return to ChinaD. Tans mother is hard to communicate with because of personality40. The last paragraph mainly talks about _. A. how to keep se
28、crets from parentsB. how to deal with the mother-daughter relationshipC. how to conduct the livesD. how the generation gap comes aboutBAmong various programs, TV talk shows have covered every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different
29、in style. But no two shows are more opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows. Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of“rubbish talk”. The topics on his show are as surprising as possible. For example, th
30、e show takes the ever-common talk show titles of love, sex, cheating, and hate, to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other peoples lives. Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes the TV talk show to
31、 its top. But Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different qualities of life. Contents are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors. Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like
32、 poisonous waste being poured into society. Jerry ends every show with a“final word”. He makes a small speech about the entire idea of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable. Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The shows main audien
33、ce are middle-class Americans. Most of the people have the time, money and ability to deal with lifes tough problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of a connection with the young adults of society. These are 18 to 21 year-olds whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex
34、, money and drug. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the shows exploitation. 41. Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows are _. A. more interestingB. unusually popularC. more detailedD. more formal42. Though the socia
35、l problems Jerry Springer talks about appear unpleasant, people who watch the shows _. A. show disbelief in themB. are ready to face up to themC. remain cold to themD. are willing to get away from them43. Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?A. A new type of robot
36、. B. National hatred. C. Family income planning. D. Street accidents. 44. We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows _. A. have become the only ones of its kindB. explore the weaknesses in human natureC. appear at different times of the dayD. attract different people45. What is the advant
37、age of the Jerry Springer show?A. The show exposes the dark sides of society. B. The show pours poisonous waste into society. C. Jerry sums up the whole idea of the show. D. Jerry talks about the improvement of society. CRoslyn High School on Long Island recently started a pilot program using iPads
38、in some classrooms. A growing number of schools across the U. S. would like to use the iPad as the latest tool to teach Kafka in multimedia, history through games and math with step-by-step cartoon of complex problems. As part of a pilot program, Roslyn High School handed out 47 iPads on Dec. 20, 20
39、10 to the students and teachers in two humanities（人文学科）classes. The school district hopes to provide iPads eventually to all 1, 100 of its students. The iPads are to be used in class and at home during the school year to replace textbooks, allow students to correspond with teachers and turn in paper
40、s and homework tasks, and preserve a record of student work in digital files. “It allows us to extend the classes beyond these four walls, ”said Larry Reiff, an English teacher at Roslyn who now posts all his course materials online. But educators are still divided over whether practices to give eve
41、ry student a laptop have made a difference academically. “There is very little evidence that kids learn more, faster or better by using these machines, ”said Larry Cuban, a retired professor of education at Stanford University. “iPads are excellent tools to attract kids, but then the freshness wears
42、 off and you get into hard-core problems of teaching and learning. ”But school leaders say the iPad is not just a cool new toy but rather a powerful and multifunctional tool with a number of applications, including thousands of educational uses. “If there isnt an application that does something I ne
43、ed, there will be sooner or later, ”said Mr. Reiff, who said he now used an application that includes all of Shakespeares plays. 46. The passage mainly wants to tell us _. A. iPads will be used in more and more schools in the U. S. B. students have achieved a lot after using iPadsC. teaching will be
44、come less important with the help of iPadsD. a program of a school to allow students to use iPads in the classroom47. The program of using iPads in class is _.

45、D. only an experimental one carried out in some schools48. We can use iPads to do the following at school except _. A. judging the teachers teachingB. keeping digital record of homeworkC. replacing the school textbooksD. communicating with teachers49. The underlined part“these four walls”in Paragrap
46、h 5 refers to _. A. school dormitoryB. school classroomC. teachers officeD. school campus50. According to the passage, who are in favour of the program?A. The school leaders and the writer. B. Larry Cuban and Larry Reiff. C. The school leaders and Larry Reiff. D. Larry Cuban and the school leaders.
47、DDo American children still learn handwriting in school? In the age of the keyboard, some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out. 90% of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting. But studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it. One study p
48、ublished this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting. Some teachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for 1015 minutes a day, and then other teachers who basically teach it for 60 to 70 minutes a daywhich really for handw
49、riting is pretty much. Many adults remember learning that wayby copying letters over and over again. Todays thinking is that short periods of practice are better. Many experts also think handwriting should not be taught by itself. Instead, they say it should be used as a way to get students to express i
