After a while I heard 1 more of the romantic sounding Italians. I just heard the 2 of the popcorn crunching ( 咀嚼 ) between my teeth. My thought started to 3 . I remembered when I was in South Korea, I 4 to watch Kojak on TV frequently. He spoke perfect Korean—I was really amazed. He seemed like a good friend to me, 5 I saw him again in New York speaking 6 English instead of perfect Korean. He didn’t even have a Korean accent and I 7 like I had been betrayed.
When our family moved to the United States six years ago, none of us spoke any English. 8 we had begun to learn a few words; my mother suggested that we all should speak English at home. Everyone agreed, but our house became very 9 and we all seemed to avoid each other. We sat at the dinner table in silence, preferring that to 10 in a difficult language. Mother tried to say something in English but it 11 out all wrong and we all burst into laughter and decided to forget it! We’ve been speaking Korean at home ever since.

1.C 從下文只能聽(tīng)到嚼玉米花的聲音判斷本題答案為no,表示聽(tīng)不到電影中的浪漫聲音。

2.B 參照上題,嚼玉米花的聲音應(yīng)該用sound表達(dá)。

3.B 從下文中自己所想可以判斷這里表示自己的思緒開(kāi)始游蕩,能表達(dá)此含義的是wander。wonder表示“詫異,納悶”,depart表示“離開(kāi)”,imagine表示想象,都與上下文不符。

4.D 敘述自己過(guò)去的事情,又表示經(jīng)常性行為,應(yīng)該用used to。

5.A 從下文的betray可以判斷,在作者發(fā)現(xiàn)Kojak說(shuō)得一口流利的英文之前一直把對(duì)方當(dāng)作朋友,四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中能表示“到某時(shí)為止就不……”的是until。

6.B 參照上文,這里表示作者所喜歡的Kojak到美國(guó)之后不再說(shuō)韓語(yǔ),而學(xué)說(shuō)英語(yǔ)。與perfect語(yǔ)言相對(duì)的應(yīng)該是不正規(guī)語(yǔ)言,應(yīng)該是informal,其他artificial(人工的,假的)、practical(實(shí)際的)都與perfect不對(duì)立。

7.A 本題考查的是固定搭配feel like,表示自己看到這種情況的感覺(jué)。

8.D 本題答案為once,表示“我們一開(kāi)始學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ),母親就提出了一個(gè)建議,建議我們?cè)诩依锒颊f(shuō)英語(yǔ)”。

9.B 此處考查上下文理解。從we all seemed to avoid each other 與we sat at the dinner table in silence來(lái)看,答案應(yīng)該是quiet,即“屋里十分安靜,大家都避免和對(duì)方說(shuō)話”。

10.D 此處考查固定搭配和詞匯。prefer A to B表示相較于B,更喜歡A。而從各選項(xiàng)來(lái)看,可以判斷答案為speaking,其他都要帶賓語(yǔ)。
