My mother raised me as best as she could, taking on odd jobs in the neighborhood for money. Still without a father to tell me how to act and what was expected of me, I felt lost. I wandered for years and got involved with tough guys on the East Side of New York. They would fight madly over a dropped coin. They would steal to get what they wanted. I wanted to be like them.

It was lucky for me that I left the city and entered a world of discipline (纪律), after following my mothers advice. During three years of military service, I had time to rethink my life, and my thoughts often ran to my mother. I realized suddenly just how much of a heartache I must have been to her, how little I had noticed her suffering. When my father left this world, my mother was completely alone. To support us, my mother cleaned apartments and took in washing and ironing from the neighbors. And as she worked hard at this labor, she kept her head high. Each week she would bring a pile of books home from the library and read to us. My mother had wanted nothing more, than for me to turn into an honest responsible man. But I had acted against her. Finally, almost too late I had the sense to feel shame.

Ten years passed and I returned to the apartment on the East Side. I knew I wouldn’t fall back in with the wrong people, although I still wasn’t sure where I was heading. My mother, I could tell, was worried about me. In my neighborhood, to become a police officer or a firefighter was a mark of significant social success and achievement. For me it was an opportunity for a real start in life. I wondered if I was up to it, but I knew that it was time to try. When I found myself in the big hall raising my hands to take the firefighters oath (誓言) of office, my mother was sitting a few rows behind with a smile of relief. She knew that at last I was off on life’s road and moving steadily. Her smile said, “My job is finally done.”

1.The author used to behave ________.

A. strangely　　 B. well

C. outstandingly　　 D. badly

2.According to the context，“odd jobs” in the first paragraph refer to jobs ________.

A. with house work

B. which are dangerous

C. done by people to make extra money with

D. of cleaning, washing and ironing

3.Why did the author say he was lucky in the second paragraph?

A. He spent three years of military service.

B. He escaped from a world of discipline.

C. He moved to another city with his mother.

D. He enjoyed the books his mother read to him.

4.What does the mother’s word “My job is finally done” mean in the last paragraph?

A. She needn’t be worried about her son again.

B. She can lower her head.

C. Her son has grown up to be an honest and responsible man.

D. She will no longer do all available jobs to support the family.

高二英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

When I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.

My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was her. 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 weeks ago？”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 red-faced, 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 me 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 not very polite.

B. She was often misunderstood.

C. She was not clearly heard.

D. She was unable to speak good English.

2.From paragraph 2, we know that the author was　　　　　　 .

B. unwilling to phone for her mother

C. rude to the stockbroker

D. ready to help her mother

3.After the author made the phone call, 　　　　　　　　 .

A. they failed to get the check

B. they went to New York immediately

C. they forgave the stockbroker

D. they spoke to their boss at once

C. It helps her tolerate rude people.

D. It confuses her.
