　　解析：　考查動詞時態(tài)。根據(jù)時間狀語“all these years”可知，問句問的是“這些年你一直在干什么”，強調(diào)的是謂語動詞的動作從過去一直持續(xù)到現(xiàn)在，并且目前還在進行。所以用現(xiàn)在完成進行時。

　　(2024·陜西卷)

　　About 30 years ago，I left Cuba for the United States with my son.After getting settled finally in Brunswick，New Jersey，I enrolled (注冊) my son in kindergarten.Several weeks later，my son’s teacher asked me to meet him at his office.

　　In the teacher’s office，an exchange of greetings was followed by his questions：“Is your son mentally retarded (弱智的)？Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability？”

　　Was he talking about my wonderful Scola？No，no，it can’t be.What a helpless，lonely moment！I told him that Scola was a quiet，sweet little boy，instead.I asked him why he was asking me all these questions.

　　My son could not follow the teacher’s directions，he told me， and thus，Scola was disrupting the class.Didn’t he know my son did not speak English yet?

　　He was angry：“Why hasn’t your son been taught to speak English？Don’t you speak English at home？”網(wǎng)No，I didn’t speak English at home，I replied.I was sure my son would learn English in a couple of months，and I didn’t want him to forget his native language.Well，wrong answer！What kind of person would not speak in English to her son at home and at all times？“Are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars

　　and send them back to their country，never wanting to be a

　　part of this society？”

　　Needless to say，I tried to tell him I was not one of

　　“those people”．Then he told me the meeting was over，and I left.

　　As I had expected，my son learned to speak English fluently before the school year was over.He went on to graduate from college and got a job，earning close to six figures.He travels widely and leads a well-adjusted，contented life.And he has benefited from being bilingual (雙語的)．

　　Speaking more than one language allows people to communicate with others；it teaches people about other cultures and other places—something very basic and obviously lacking in the “educator” I met in New Jersey.

　　語篇解讀　本文是一篇夾敘夾議的文章。作者通過講述自己的兒子上學(xué)前班不會講英語的經(jīng)歷，表達了多學(xué)習(xí)一門語言對孩子的終身發(fā)展是有好處的觀點。

　　1．The teacher asked the author to his office________.

　　A．to discuss Scola’s in-class performance

　　B．to get Scola enrolled in kindergarten

　　C．to find a language partner for Scola

　　D．to work out a study plan for Scola

　　解析：　細節(jié)理解題。從文章第一段最后一句“Several weeks later，my son’s teacher asked me to meet him at his office.”和第二段中老師問的兩個問題“Is your son mentally retarded (弱智的)？Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability？可知作者孩子的老師是讓作者去討論孩子在班里的表現(xiàn)。由文章第一段第二句中的“I enrolled”可知作者早就給兒子注冊了，故B項不正確；老師沒有意識到是作者孩子的語言有問題，所以C項和D項也不正確。

　　答案：　A

　　2．What does the underlined word “disrupting” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

　　A．Breaking. B．Following.

　　C．Attending. D．Disturbing.

　　解析：　詞義猜測題。由前面的“My son could not follow the teacher’s directions”可知作者的孩子聽不懂老師的指示，因此“干擾”了課堂，所以該詞的意思為“disturbing”。

　　答案：　D

　　3．The author’s attitude towards being bilingual may best be described as________.

　　A．critical B．casual

　　C．positive

　　D．passive

　　解析：　觀點態(tài)度題。從文章倒數(shù)第三段中的“Needless to say，I tried to tell him I was not one of

　　‘those people.’”和文章倒數(shù)第二段中的“And he has benefited from being bilingual (雙語的)．”可知作者對雙語持“肯定的”態(tài)度。

　　答案：　C

　　4．This text is likely to be selected from a book of________.

　　A．medicine

　　B．education

　　C．geography

　　D．history

　　解析：　文章出處題。該文章講述了在教育中雙語教學(xué)的益處，因此該文章應(yīng)該是出自教育類書籍，而不是醫(yī)藥書，也不是地理或者歷史方面的書籍。

　　答案：　B

　　推測文章的來源或者推測讀者對象要求讀者本身要具備一定的常識，這樣文章的內(nèi)容才能與讀者本身已經(jīng)具備的常識結(jié)合起來。比如讀者本身要對報紙、雜志、網(wǎng)絡(luò)、科普、小說、童話、廣告、教材、說明書、旅游指南、藥品說明、操作指南等有基本的了解，這樣才能根據(jù)文章的特點對號入座，選出最佳答案。

　　例如真題示例第4題為文章出處題。該文章講述了在教育中雙語教學(xué)的益處，因此該文章應(yīng)該是出自教育類書籍，而不是醫(yī)藥書，也不是地理或者歷史方面的書籍，故B項正確。
