Question

【題目】You may know the English letters A, B and C. But do you know there are people called ABCs? You may like eating bananas. But do you know there are such people with the name of "banana persons"? Are these people from "another planet (星球)"? No. They are just Chinese people like you and me.

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 and white inside. So, a "banana person" is white inside -- thinking like a westerner and yellow outside -- looking like a Chinese.

Do you know why? Usually, ABCs know little about China or Chinese language. Most of them don't speak Chinese. Also, they are not interested in Chinese politics (政治). But if ABCs can't speak Chinese. can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are Chinese. They are overseas (海外的) Chinese. These people may be citizens (公民) of other countries 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 not people of China. For example, we all know the famous scientist C.N. Yang (楊振寧). He got the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen.

【答案】

【4】C

【5】D

【解析】

你聽說過ABC嗎？是的，他們是英語中的字母，但是他們還可以指一類人，你知道是什么嗎？這篇短文中給我們解釋了ABC的意思。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段中ABC means American-born-Chinese. 可知，ABC的意思是指在美國出生的中國人。故應選C。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段中So, a "banana person" is white inside -- thinking like a westerner and yellow outside -- looking like a Chinese.可知，“香蕉人”指的是里面是白色的，即思維方式像西方人；而外面是黃色的，即外表是中國人。由此可知應選B。

【3】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)這個劃線單詞所在的第三段中These people may be citizens (公民) of other countries 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.可知，ABC這樣的人是其他國家的公民，但是他們的父母、祖父母甚至曾祖父母都是中國人，他們都有黑色的眼睛和黑色的頭發(fā)。由這些內容我們可以知道blood指的是血統(tǒng)，故應選A。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文的最后For example, we all know the famous scientist C.N. Yang (楊振寧). He got the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen.可知，文章最后以楊振寧舉例，告訴我們他就是一個ABC，他在1957年獲得了諾貝爾獎，中國人民都很喜歡他，但是他是美國公民，不是中國公民。故應選C。

【5】主旨大意題。根據(jù)短文中But do you know there are people called ABCs?、ABC means American-born-Chinese.可知，這篇短文作者給我們介紹了ABC的意思，故D選項是符合文意的，選D。

這篇短文給我們解釋了ABC的意思，它是American-born Chinese的縮寫，指出生在美國的中國人。短文解釋清楚，通過閱讀文章，我們可以清楚的了解文意，這對我們做題是比較有利的。后面的題目設置有細節(jié)理解、推理判斷、詞義猜測和主旨大意題，考查比較全面。細節(jié)題考查我們快速搜索文章中有用信息的能力，答案往往都可以在原文找到，做題時，根據(jù)題干所問，定位到原文相關地方，搜索信息作答。例如第2小題，我們用題目中的banana person作為關鍵詞，可以定位答案在第二段，根據(jù)這一段的最后一句話就可以知道答案。再如第4小題，這是一個推理題。短文的最后提到了楊振寧，是作者舉例告訴我們他就是一個ABC，他是中國人，他獲得了諾貝爾獎，但他是美國的公民，不是中國公民。故應選C。
