When people understand their own history，they are able to grapple with the influence of the social structures that sometimes limit the possibilities in their lives.Taking this approach opens the door for young people to be managers of their own learning and development as they understand why they find themselves where they are. Many people I have been talking to about this issue agree that not only schools but also public bodies and families have failed to educate young people about their own history.And I know from my own experience how difficult it was for my father to talk about his family’s experience in 1944.This may be a reflection of the sadness that people feel about that history and not wanting to make it a burden on their young people.But in today’s situation，those I spoke with now clearly see that as a mistake. If our society is ever to find a way to properly deal with the influence of our own history，including what has happened to our Native American，AfricanAmerican and Latino friends，our schools must step up to help young people understand their own stories.Families and related social bodies must do the same. 语篇解读 作者通过自己的例子说明了年轻人了解自己历史的重要性，并呼吁学校、家庭和 社会多让孩子们了解自己的历史。 5．According to Paragraph 1，a good knowledge of our own history can help us . A．become good at writing stories B．make our influence on the society stronger C．gain a good understanding of our present situation D．understand the importance of learning and development 答案 C 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 4 解析 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“Understanding one’s own history is important for young people’s learning and development.”和最后一句“...in a way that helps them to understand why they find themselves in a particular situation.”可知对我 们的历史有一个好的了解能帮助年轻人学习和发展，能更好地理解自己的现状，故选 C。 6．What does the underlined phrase “grapple with” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Manage. B．Recover. C．Exercise. D．Determine. 答案 A 解析 词义猜测题。manage 设法得以做某事；recover 恢复；exercise 运动，练习；determine 决定。当人们了解了自己的历史，他们就能努力克服社会结构的影响。此处 grapple with 意为“努力克服”，故选 A。 7．It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that the author’s family’s experience in 1944 was . A．interesting B．surprising C．harmful D．painful 答案 D 解析 推理判断题。根据第三段倒数第二句“This may be a reflection of the sadness that people feel about that history and not wanting to make it a burden on their young people.”可知作者家 1944 年的经历是痛苦的，不想使它成为后辈的负担，故选 D。 C There is a large percentage of Asian people in the US.They’re hard working， respectful but strange sometimes.If you don’t understand the culture，you will get some problems with them.Asian people are different from any other cultures.If you think you know them，you might want to think again. How are they different ？ When it comes to most Asian culture ， respect is everything.You can do anything you want but don’t disrespect an Asian man.You will get some real consequences afterward and especially if he is your boss.It’s something called “face saving” in the Asian culture.It’s ridiculous sometimes but it’s their culture.Sometimes their culture can come in between their relationship at work.Asian people might expect a lot of respect from their coworkers when their coworkers just see them as an equal. Americans are very different from Asian people.If you’re Asian，you might want to understand the American culture and even adapt to their culture if you work with them.It will be easier for you since you’re in their countries.Imagine an American 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 5 working in China，expecting Chinese coworkers to get along with him when he criticizes them straight out on every single matter in front of everyone.I think they will take him outside and take care of him.It just doesn’t work that way with Asian people. If you’re an American boss giving your Asian employee a review，you will see that they will have a problem with your negative remarks.They will think that you don’t like them，disrespectful，and want to get rid of them；when in fact，you’re just doing your job.Of course，it’s not fair for you as an American boss but just expect that it can be something that is on your Asian employee’s mind. 语篇解读 本文介绍了美国和亚洲文化的不同导致美国人和亚洲人不能很好的相处。 8．The Americans can’t get along well with the Asians probably because .

There are clear reasons that experts advise people to eat the insects.Experts say insects require little food to grow and the backyard can be a good place to raise.And there’s no shortage of proteinrich insects，which contain fat，vitamins， 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 7 fiber and minerals. Researchers say different bugs provide unique tastes and textures.“This is very liquid and it has a different color，so this can be used as a dressing for example and it’s easy to use and this can be used for example for pastry，because for pastry you need hard fats，” stated TzompasSosa. But not all insects produce good oil.Cockroaches don’t.The bug oils must be tested to make sure they are safe to consume.But getting over the “ick factor” may be a bigger challenge. 语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了食用昆虫的问题。文章指出了食用昆虫的好处， 同时指出有些昆虫在食用前还需进一步测试以确保其安全性。 12．Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “Backing up”？ A．Raising.
