Question

You may know the English letters A, B and C. But do you know there are people called ABC? You may like eating bananas. But did you know there is such a thing as a “banana person”? How strange! Are these people from “another earth” ? 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, when a person is a banana, he or she is white inside---hinting like a Westerner(西方人) and yellow outside --- looking like a Chinese.
Do you know why? Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some 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 oversea 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 not 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 Physics in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen.

解析試題分析：這篇短文中作者主要給我們介紹了什么是ABC，它指的是在美國出生的中國人。這樣的人具有美國的國籍，從小受美國的思想影響，但是在外表上仍然是中國人，有中國的血統(tǒng)。短文中作者還給我們舉例向我們解釋了ABC。
【小題1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文的第二段中ABC means American-born-Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States. 可知，ABC的意思是美國出生的中國人，他是一個中國人，但是出生在美國。故選C。
【小題2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段中So, when a person is a banana, he or she is white inside---hinting like a Westerner(西方人) and yellow outside --- looking like a Chinese.可知，我們說一個人是香蕉人，是因為他里面是白色的，思想就像西方人一樣；而外面是黃色的，外表就像中國人。故選B。
【小題3】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)劃線的單詞所在的句子以及上下文可知，ABC具有其他國家的國籍，但是有中國的血統(tǒng)，因為他們的父母、祖父母，甚至曾祖父母都是來自中國的。故這里的blood 的意思是血統(tǒng)。故選A。
【小題4】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文的最后一段He got the Nobel Prize Physics in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen. 可知，這里提到了楊振寧，他在1957年獲得了諾貝爾物理獎，但是他是一個美國公民。故這里作者提到這個例子是說明美國出生的中國人，他們是美國國籍，所以他們不是中國的公民。故選C。
【小題5】主旨大意題。這篇短文中作者主要給我們介紹了什么是ABC，它指的是在美國出生的中國人。這樣的人具有美國的國籍，從小受美國的思想影響，但是在外表上仍然是中國人，有中國的血統(tǒng)。短文中作者還給我們舉例向我們解釋了ABC。故應該選D。
