Question

【題目】You may know the English letters A, B and C. But do you know there are people called ABCs? Do you know there is such a thing as “a banana person”? How strange! ABC means American-born Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States. Sometimes, people call an ABC a “banana person”. A banana is yellow outside. So, when a person is a “banana”, he or she is white inside—thinking like a Westerner and yellow outside—looking like a Chinese.

Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them don’t speak Chinese. But if ABCs cannot speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are overseas（海外的）Chinese. These people may be citizens（公民）of another country like the US, Canada or Singapore. But they have Chinese blood. Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair.

But they are not Chinese citizens. They are people of the People’s Republic of China. For example, we all know the famous scientist C. N. Yang（楊振寧）. He got the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen.

【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文主要講述ABC是指出生在美國的中國人。他們有中國的血液，他們的父母，甚至祖父母或曾祖父母來自中國，他們都有黑色的眼睛和黑色的頭發(fā)。但他們不是中國公民。這些人可能是另一個國家的公民，就像美國、加拿大或者新加坡。文章還以著名的科學(xué)家楊振寧為例，說明這種出生在美國的中國人。

【1】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文“ABC means American-born Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States.”的描述可知，ABC是一個中國人，但出生在美國。結(jié)合選項可知應(yīng)選C。

【2】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文“when a person is a banana, he or she is white inside - thinking like a Westerner and yellow outside - looking like a Chinese.”的描述可知，香蕉人即是里面是白色的，思考問題像西方人，外面是黃色的，思考問題像中國人。結(jié)合選項可知應(yīng)B。

【3】D詞義猜測題。根據(jù)短文“------Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China They all have black eyes and black hair.”的描述，他們的父母，甚至祖父母或曾祖父母來自中國，他們都有黑色的眼睛和黑色的頭發(fā)，可知他們有中國的血統(tǒng)。結(jié)合選項可知應(yīng)選D。

【4】A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文“Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them don’t speak Chinese. But if ABCs cannot speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are overseas（海外的）Chinese. These people may be citizens（公民）of another country like the US, Canada or Singapore. ”的描述可知，B、C、D選項的敘述符合原文內(nèi)容，而結(jié)合“But they are not Chinese citizens. ”的敘述可知，出生在美國的中國人不是中國公民。故應(yīng)A。

【5】B主旨大意題。通過對短文的理解得知，文章主要是講述海外的中國人。結(jié)合選項可知應(yīng)選B。
