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（杨振宁）. He got the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen.‎ ‎21.“ABCs” in this passage means________ .‎ A.Three English letters B.a kind of banana C.Chinese born in America D.Americans born in China ‎22.The underlined word “blood” may probably mean_ .‎ A.洪水 B.祖先 C.血统 D.身份 ‎23.Which of the sentences is WRONG about ABCs?‎ A.ABCs may know little about China.

Does this sound like a dream? Well, for some, like Amy Knott, from Chicago, this is their job.‎ ‎ Amy Knott is a mystery shopper. She is paid to visit a store, eat in a restaurant, go to a bank, stay in a hotel, get her hair cut, fill up her gas tank, or see a movie. She pretends to be an ordinary customer, but afterwards she writes a report about ‎ her experience, commenting on things like：How long did you wait in line? Was the food hot? Did the cashier say " Thank you.”？Did the restroom have soap and tissue? This gives companies useful information about how they can improve their customer service.‎ ‎ So who can become a mystery shopper? You do not need any special qualifications or experience, but you need a good memory, an eye for detail, and good writing skills. When you apply for the job, instead of an interview, you will be asked to write about some? thing like "What was your best shopping experience?"‎ ‎ What is the pay like? For a 15-minute visit to a store, you might get $ 10 and the cost of what you buy. For a haircut, you might get $ 35 and the cost of the haircut. Most mystery shoppers do this job in their spare time, like Byron Jenner, who visits a restaurant on his lunch break every day and earns about $ 500 extra a month. But others, like Amy, make it their full-time career, and earn up to $ 40,000 a year.‎ ‎ "I love mystery shopping. I can't believe I actually get paid to have fun," she said. "For example, tonight my husband and I will go out, have a $ 150 dinner, go to stay at a luxury hotel, and I'll walk away with $ 300.”‎ ‎32.

So when you take the time to learn a technique, use it until it becomes automatic. Here are some for you to have a try.‎ ‎ Use a story-list. As a child, I went to a party. There was a game that involved looking at a table covered in fifteen various items. __37__ Finally, one boy won the prize by remembering all fifteen items. Later, I learned why he won. His father taught him a simple trick that none of us other kids knew. The skill is to tie the items together in an imaginative story.‎ ‎__38__When you learn a person‘s name, for example, tell yourself, “Remember that”. This signals your unconscious (潜意识的) mind to rank this input as more important.‎ Know why you want to remember something, and how you‘ll remember it. To remember a person, for example, ask why they‘ll be important to you in the future, imagine where you’ll see them next, and connect that to anything you notice about them. Seeing the importance of remembering really helps.__39__Do you ever forget where you put your keys? You have probably tried retracing (追溯) your steps, at least doing it in your imagination.__40__When you set the keys on the chair, see yourself walking in and setting the keys on the chair. You won‘t forget where they are.‎ ‎ There are many more of these memory tricks. If you want them to be useful, though, don‘t just read about them. Make one or two memory skills a habit and start today. ‎ A. Tell yourself to remember.‎ B. Where can you pick up these skills? ‎ C. The answer is remembering to use them.‎ D. It is not easy for us to learn memory techniques.‎ E. We had to write down as many items as we could remember.‎ F. Additional connections can set the memory more firmly in your brain. ‎ G. This can work well, but even better is to prevent the forgetting beforehand.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文厚各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ ‎ Do you know how many languages there are in the world?
