語篇解讀：本文是一篇夾敘夾議文，作者在丈夫突然去世正悲傷的時候，收到朋友的信。朋友也有著喪夫的遭遇，當(dāng)時得到了作者媽媽的安慰，現(xiàn)在朋友又把作者媽媽安慰自己的話傳給了她。
1.根據(jù)下文的letters, cards, flowers, calls, and visits可知是作者的丈夫突然去世
2．take a bad knock意為“受到經(jīng)濟或感情上的嚴(yán)重打擊”。她丈夫去世，她應(yīng)該是“悲痛”(grief)。
3．從the whys and hows可知此處應(yīng)該是understand，意思是作者想弄明白這些不幸的事情為什么，怎么會發(fā)生在自己家。
4．結(jié)合上一句想弄明白“問題”，這里應(yīng)該是問題的答案answers。作者得不到答案，只有悲傷。
5．由下文和deeply可知，是有一封短信打動了作者，所以用touch表示“打動”。impress“使……有印象，影響”，appreciate“欣賞，贊賞”，affect“影響”，這三項都不符合語境�！�
6．從through high school可知是在上學(xué)時的朋友，用grade表示“年級”。這里指從六年級開始到高中一直是好朋友。
7．句中謂語動詞drifted表示“漂流，漂泊”，說明兩人在“畢業(yè)”(graduation)以后分開了，去了不同的地方。
8．通過語境可以判斷，該處缺少表轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系的連詞，A、B意思不符合語意，however常和逗號連用，故應(yīng)選C項。
9．由上文可知，這里應(yīng)是“失去聯(lián)系”，所以用lost和touch組成短語。
10．此處是動詞的?ing形式作結(jié)果狀語，leaving在此處意為“使處于某種狀態(tài)”，符合上下文語境。
11．從下文的finding a job and raising three young children可以判斷，這些都是她的責(zé)任，所以用responsibilities。
12．她和Pete的關(guān)系就像我和Bob的關(guān)系一樣。like作介詞用表示“像……一樣”。including是“包括”的意思；as well as作介詞時，含義是“還，也”；except for表示部分與整體的關(guān)系，表示“除了……之外”，用于非同類事物的排除。
13．這里表示的是夫妻之間摯愛至深，用relationships。contact“接觸”，background“背景”，interest“興趣”。
14．根據(jù)上下文分析，此處表示她在信中把“我”媽媽對她做的一件事寫出來與“我”分享，所以用share。
15．此處的語境是作者的媽媽在安慰作者的朋友，所以用hug更合適。
16.上文已提到媽媽很久以前就去世了，所以這里引用的也是媽媽很久以前說的話。
17．我感到我現(xiàn)在幾乎能聽到媽媽對我說話了，用could。
18．powerful“強有力的，很有效的”，符合語境。
19．我的朋友將它珍藏了這么多年，此時又將它傳遞給我。pass sth. on to sb.“把某物傳遞給某人”，符合語境。
20．作者贊賞、感嘆媽媽說給朋友，朋友又傳給自己的這句話�！癐 love you”是多么完美的語言。unnecessary“不必要的”，curious“好奇的”，abstract“抽象的”，都不符合語境。

| Comment on: Aloha Pualani Hotel
My husband and I stayed at the Aloha Pualani after months’ busy work. The rooms are small but clean. The peaceful laidback feel was exactly what we were looking for. We didn’t hear noise from streets. My husband loved the outdoor barbecue (燒烤). If you are looking for a relaxing, childfree, clean, natural place to stay this is without a doubt, but it’s a long tiring way. My ratings for this hotel are: ●●●●○Rooms ●●●●●Cleanliness I recommend this hotel for: romantic getaway I don’t recommend this hotel for: the aged, young children |

| Comment on: Karin’s Holiday Cottage
Karin’s Holiday Cottage is really worth the price for lower earners. Walking along the beach, we saw many fish and turtles. We had a rental car because it was a little far from the shopping center. But we found the windows needed to be open to allow air in, and the cottage didn’t have air conditioning but with the 3 ceiling fans. Anyway we stayed plenty cool. My ratings for this hotel are: ●●●○○Rooms ●●●○○location I recommend this hotel for: young, single people. I don’t recommend this hotel for: People hunting for luxurious (豪華的) hotels. |

| Comment on: GeofBob Holiday Inn
This hotel is great for the value. I was impressed by how attentive the staff were. I left my room without locking the door. The cleaning lady noticed and immediately informed me. Staying in the hotel made my trip a pleasant one. But we wouldn’t come again because of the walk. You can’t just hop down to the beach or the bar - 200 steep steps each way – so exhausted. My ratings for this hotel are: ●●●●●Value ●●●○○location Likes: Service Dislike: traffic I recommend this hotel for: young travelers I don’t recommend this hotel for: people with disabilities |

| Comment on: Punta Regina Isle Hotel
Tastefully located on an island, the hotel is good, with its staff helpful and its price reasonable. Don’t drive a car, for most of the tourist spots were walking distance, or you can go everywhere by boat. If you like sea food, island setting, and wine, this is excellent. My ratings for this hotel are: ●●●●●location ●●●●●Service Like: beautiful surroundings Dislike: vehicles I recommend this hotel for: young holiday makers I don’t recommend this hotel for: self-driving travelers |

●Ms Tan, you’ve referred to your new novel as your eighth book.
That’s because it took me six or seven attempts at a second novel before I started and completed this one.
●Why do you think you had so many false starts?
I would say that my reasons were wrong. I was trying to prove that I wasn’t just a mother-daughter storyteller, or I was trying to prove that I didn’t just have to write about things that were strictly Chinese or Chinese-American. Those were never the right reasons for writing those early stories. And I could never come up with other better reasons for continuing them.
●What kept you going on this book?
This book was different because it was based on my mother’s real life. The reason for writing it became more personal and emotional. After The Joy Luck Club came out, my mother was always explaining to people that she wasn’t any of the mothers in that book. And at one point she said to me, “Next book tells my true story.” And then she started telling me things I never knew before. She also told me many, many stories, because my mother doesn’t generalize(籠統(tǒng)地表達(dá)). The book really grew out of that.
●Have you ever visited China?
Yes. I’ve been there twice: about three years ago and then again last November, both times with my mother and my husband.
●Was it difficult to understand the Chinese-American dialect(方言) without sounding like a parody(拙劣的模仿)?
No, because it’s the language I’ve heard all my life from my mother. She speaks English as it’s direct translation from Chinese. But it’s more than that. Her language also has more imagery than English.
●Can you think of an example?
Somebody might say to me, “Don’t work so hard. You’ll kill yourself.” My mother will say to me，“Why do you press all your brains out on this page for someone else？” So it’s very vivid. That’s the way she talks.
●Have many readers told you that the Chinese mother in your book reminded them of the typical Jewish (有癖好的) mother?
Many people have told me that. I think the mother-daughter relationship is very intense(緊張) in both cases. Culturally there is an acceptance that mothers have the power to tell their children, especially their daughters, how to conduct their lives --- not simply up until the time they are 18, but for the rest of their lives. However, when children grow up in a different culture from their parents’，they tend to keep more secrets from their parents. The children think, “They just wouldn’t understand that I had to do this.” And that can really create a gap, and it can grow as the number of secrets grows.
【小題1】Based on the questions in this interview, what do you think Ms Tan’ s profession is?
| A．A journalist. | B．A story-writer. | C．An interviewer. | D．An interviewee. |
| A．It’ s about her real life in America. |
| B．The name of the book is The Joy Luck Club. |
| C．It is the result of many times of carefull thought. |
| D．It includes many works of her mother. |
| A．How does she think of her mother’ s language? |
| B．How many books does she plan to write? |
| C．When did she visit China? |
| D．How is generation gap created? |
| A．Tan’ s mother is a good storyteller |
| B．Tan plans to write another book about her mother |
| C．Tan plans to return to China |
| D．Tan’ s mother is hard to communicate with because of personality |
| A．how to keep secrets from parents |

My brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sister’s bureau（衣櫥）and picked out a wonderful skirt. “Jan bought this the first time we went to New York, at least 8 or 9 years ago .She never wore it. She was saving it for a special occasion.” Well, I guess this is the occasion.
He took the skirt from me and put it on the bed. His hands touched the soft material for a moment, then he shut the drawer and turned to me, “Don’t ever save anything for a special occasion. Every day you’re alive is a special occasion.”
I’m still thinking about his words, and they’ve changed my attitude to life. I’m spending more time with my family and friends and less time in committee meetings. Whenever possible, life should be a pattern of experience to enjoy, not suffer. I’m trying to recognize these moments now and treasure them.
“Someday” and “one of these days” are being lost from my vocabulary. If it’s worth seeing or hearing or doing, I want to see and hear and do it now . I’m not sure what my sister would have done if she had known she wouldn’t have tomorrow.
I think she would have called family members and a few close friends. She might have called a few former friends to apologize and mend her fences for past things. I like to think she would have gone out for a Chinese dinner, her favorite food.
If I knew that my hours were limited, those little things left undone would make me angry. Angry because I put off seeing good friends whom I was going to get in touch with someday. Angry and sorry because I didn’t tell my husband and daughter often enough how much I truly love them.
I’m trying very hard not to put off, hold back, or save anything that would add laughter to our lives. And every morning when I open my eyes, I tell myself that every day, every minute, and every breath truly, is…a gift from God.
1.What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Every day is a gift
B. My poor sister
C. Value friendship every day
D. Every day is an important occasion
2.Jan bought the wonderful skirt but didn’t wear it, because( )
A. She wanted to wear it on special occasions
B. She kept it as a special gift for someone else
C. She saved it until she grew older
D. She wanted to keep it as a sweet memory
3.Which of the following is not the writer’s attitude to life?
A. Spending more time staying with family every day.
B. Attending social activities as often as possible
C. Enjoying life and valuing every day.
D. Trying to get along well with friends
