Passage 8 (2010·北京，C篇) Pacing and Pausing
Sara tried to befriend her old friend Steve's new wife, but Betty never seemed to have anything to say. While Sara felt Betty didn't hold up her end of the conversation, Betty complained to Steve that Sara never gave her a chance to talk. The problem had to do with expectations about pacing and pausing.
Conversation is a turntaking game. When our habits are similar, there's no problem. But if our habits, are different, you may start to talk before I'm finished or fail to take your turn when I'm finished. That's what was happening with Betty and Sara.
It may not be coincidental that Betty, who expected relatively longer pauses between turns, is British, and Sara, who expected relatively shorter pauses, is American. Betty often felt interrupted by Sara. But Betty herself became an interrupter and found herself doing most of the talking when she met a visitor from Finland. And Sara had a hard time cutting
in on some speakers from Latin America or Israel.
The general phenomenon, then, is that the small conversation techniques, like pacing and pausing, lead people to draw conclusions not about conversational style but about personality and abilities. These habitual differences are often the basis for dangerous stereotyping (思维定式).
And these social phenomena can have very personal consequences. For example, a woman from the southwestern part of the US went to live in an eastern city to take up a job in personnel. When the Personnel Department got together for meetings, she kept searching for the right time to break in—and never found it. Although back home she was considered outgoing and confident, in Washington she was viewed as shy and retiring. When she was evaluated at the end of the year, she was told to take a training course because of her inability to speak up.
That's why slight differences in conversational style—tiny little things like microseconds of pause—can have a great effect on one's life. The result in this case was a judgment of psychological problems—even in the mind of the woman herself, who really wondered what was wrong with her and registered for assertiveness training.
1. What did Sara think of Betty when talking with her?
A. Betty was talkative.
B. Betty was an interrupter.
C. Betty did not take her turn.
D. Betty paid no attention to Sara.
答案与解析：C 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句话中的“While Sara felt Betty didn't hold up her end of the conversation”，结合第三段内容可知，C项正确——由于Betty谈话时停顿时间太长，Sara感觉她总是接不上话。 2. According to the passage, who are likely to expect the shortest pauses between turns?
A. Americans.
B. Israelis.
C. The British.
D. The Finns. 答案与解析：B 推理判断题。根据第三段中几个不同国家的人谈话的停顿时间的比较可知，B项正确，即以色列人谈话时停顿时间最短。 3. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. communication breakdown results from short pauses and fast pacing
B. women are unfavorably stereotyped in eastern cities of the US
C. one's inability to speak up is culturally determined sometimes
D. one should receive training to build up one's confidence 答案与解析：C 推理判断题。通读文章内容可知，因为文化的差异，不同国家和地区的人谈话时，停顿时间长短不同。有些地区的人由于说话停顿时间太长，而让人感觉他们不健谈。故C项与原文内容相符。 4. The underlined word “assertiveness” in the last paragraph probably means ________.
A. being willing to speak one's mind
B. being able to increase one's power
C. being ready to make one's own judgment
D. being quick to express one's ideas confidently 答案与解析：D 猜测词义题。根据倒数第二段最后一句可知这位女士因为在工作上不健谈(其实是她讲话时停顿时间长)而被告知去参加培训，由此可推知她参加的应该是能够让她自信地表达自我的培训，故D项正确。
My mother has long realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on the 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 check already two week late.”
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 redfaced, 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.
1. Why was the author's mother poorly served?
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. 答案与解析：A 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly.”可知作者的母亲因为她所讲的语言而受到歧视，因此选择A项。 2. From Paragraph 2, we know that the author was
________.
A. good at pretending
B. rude to the stockbroker
C. ready to help her mother
D. unwilling to phone for her mother 答案与解析：D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I was forced to ask for information or even...”可知作者不太愿意替母亲打电话给人家。 3. After the author made the phone call, ________.
A. they forgave the stockbroker
B. they failed to get the check
C. they went to New York immediately
D. they spoke to their boss at once 答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二、三段可知，作者打完电话后并没有拿到支票，因此她们去了纽约。 4. What does the author think of her mother's English now?
A. It confuses her.
B. It embarrasses her.
C. It helps her understand the world.
D. It helps her tolerate rude people. 答案与解析：C 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段最后一句可知母亲的英语帮助作者理解这个世界。 5. We can infer from the passage that Chinese English ________.
A. is clear and natural to nonnative speakers
B. is vivid and direct to nonnative speakers
C. has a very bad reputation in America
D. may bring inconvenience in America 答案与解析：D 推理判断题。根据文章第一段的描述可知母亲英语讲得不好，这给她的生活带来了很多不便。
Passage 5 (2010·全国Ⅰ，B篇) EDGEWOOD—Every morning at Dixie Heights High School, customers pour into a special experiment: the district's first coffee shop run mostly by students with special learning needs. Well before classes start, students and teachers order Lattes, Cappuccinos and Hot Chocolates. Then, during the first period, teachers call in orders on their room phones, and students make deliveries.
By closing time at 920 a．m., the shop usually sells 90 drinks.
“Whoever made the chi tea, Ms. Schatzman says it was good，” Christy McKinley, a second year student, announced recently, after hanging up with the teacher.
The shop is called the Dixie PIT, which stands for Power in Transition. Although some of the students are not disabled, many are, and the PIT helps them prepare for life after high school.
They learn not only how to run a coffee shop but also how to deal with their affairs. They keep a timecard and receive paychecks, which they keep in check registers.
Specialeducation teachers Kim Chevalier and Sue Casey introduced the Dixie PIT from a similar program at Kennesaw Mountain High School in Georgia.
Not that it was easy. Chevalier's first problem to overcome was productrelated. Should schools be selling coffee? What about sugar content?
Kenton County Food Service Director Ginger Gray helped. She made sure all the drinks, which use nonfat milk, fell within nutrition (营养) guidelines.
The whole school has joined in to help.
Teachers agreed to give up their lounge (休息室) in the mornings. Art students painted the name of the shop on the wall. Business students designed the paychecks. The basketball team helped pay for cups.
1. What is the text mainly about?
