on a Chinese name card.In this case the family name still come first, and the other words after it(4)a two-word given name.it is quite usual in China.My sister is Li Xiaofang.She has two words in her given name instead (5) just one like mine.(完型填空)
A.Put
B.From
C.Should
D.of
E.are
答案：B A C E D
解析：本段意思：研究不同国家的名称是非常有趣的。中国人的名字不同于外国人的名字。有一次，一位英国女士来看我。当我被介绍给她时，她说:“很高兴认识你，萍小姐。然后她给了我她的名片，上面有三个字:“贝蒂·j·布莱克。”所以我说:“谢谢你，贝蒂小姐。我们面面相觑，开怀大笑。后来我发现英国人把姓放在最后，名放在前面，中间的名字用得不多。我向她解释中国姓在前，名在后，所以她永远不要叫我萍小姐。她问我们中国人有没有中间名。我告诉她我们没有。但是人们经常会在一张中文名片上发现三个字。在这种情况下，姓仍然在前面，在它后面的其他单词是两个单词组成的名字。这在中国很常见。我妹妹是李小芳。她有两个字在她的名字，而不像我一样只有一个。

第一节 阅读理解（共15小题；每小2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
When I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. 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.
My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she . I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人).I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs.Tan.”
And my mother was standing beside me ,whispering loudly, “Why he don’t send me cheek already two week lone.”
And then , in perfect English I said : “I’m getting rather concerned .You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.”
Then she talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t tolerate any more excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately , I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”
The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs.Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.
When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.

A.She was unable to speak good English.
B.She was often misunderstood.
C.She was not clearly heard.
D.She was not very polite.
由文中Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly.可知

第9题：
The workers who brought the girl to the orphanage(孤儿院)knew little about her. The streets where they found her had been her home for many years. Her parents were unknown. They left her long ago. At the orphanage, the girl, like all the children there, was taught to read and write. While she was studying at the orphanage, she learned something else-to be independent. At twenty-one，she left the orphanage and began work as a secretary. And then，in 1975, while she was still working as an ordinary secretary, something special happened. She entered the Miss Hong Kong competition and won it. This was the turning point in her life. Now her name, Mary Cheung, was known to everybody. Mary entered the competition because she wanted to show that orphanage girls could be something. Winning the competition gave her the chance to start a new life. This led her first into television and then into business as a manager. When she was working as a manager, she had trouble with her reports. “My English just wasn't good enough.” she says. Luckily, she had a boyfriend (who later became her husband) to help her. Mary studied management at Hong Kong Polytechnic and graduated in 1980. She started her own business in 1985. But she did not stop developing herself. She then studied at the University of Hong Kong. Since 1987, she had spent a lot of time on photography. She has held several exhibitions of her work in many places-China, New Zealand and Paris. She still found time, however, to work on TV, write for newspapers and bring up her family. The girl from the street has come a long way, but her journey is not finished yet.
