I sat back and started to register a sense of achievement: I was actually reading Chinese. The language was starting to make sense. But before the sense of satisfaction was half formed, Teacher Liao said, “Budui!” It meant, literally, “Not correct.” You could also translate it as “no”, “wrong”, “nope”, “uh-uh” and “flatly and clearly incorrect”. There were many Chinese words that I didn’t know, but I knew that one well. A voice in my head whined “All of the rest of them were right; isn’t that worth something? ” But for Teacher Liao it didn’t work like that. If one character was wrong, it was simply budui. “What’s this word?” I asked, pointing at the character I had missed. “Zhe—the zhe in Zhejiang.” “The third tone?” “The fourth tone.” I breathed deeply and read the section again, and this time I did it perfectly. That was a victory—I turned to Teacher Liao and my eyes said (or at least I imagined them saying) “How do you like me now?” There seemed to be some satisfaction in her eyes, but she simply said, “Read the next one.” It was her way of teaching. Success was expected and failure was criticized and immediately corrected. You were right or you were budui; there was no middle ground. I grew to hate budui. The bu was a rising tone and the dui dropped abruptly, just as my confidence was built and then it broke down all at once. And it bothered me all the more because I knew that Teacher Liao was only telling the truth: everything I did with the language was budui. I was an adult, and as an adult I should be able to accept criticism where it was needed. But that wasn’t the American way; I wanted to be praised for my effort; I didn’t mind criticism as long as it was candy-coated. For Teacher Liao, the single B on the report card matters much more than all the A’s that surround it: Keep working; you haven’t achieved anything yet. And so I worked harder. I was frustrated but I was also stubborn; I was determined to show Teacher Liao that I was dui. 11. Which of the following can best replace “whined” in Paragraph 3? A. Returned. B. Gave in. C. Complained. D. Burst out. 12. What did the author expect from Teacher Liao after he tried again? A. Immediate correction. B. A new challenge. C. A strict comment. D. An encouraging response. 13. How did the writer feel about Teacher Liao’s way of teaching? 佛山一中2022-2023 学年度第一学期高二级段考一试题 英 语 共9 页 第3 页 A. Weakness-focused. B. Candy-coated. C. Interest-driven. D. Criticism-absent. B 佛山一中2022-2023 学年度第一学期高二级段考一试题 英 语 共9 页 第3 页 For many of us, summertime means road trips to the beach or mountains, or at the very least some additional dust on the outside of our vehicle. The extra dirt leads us to do one of the two things: wash our car in the driveway or head to the car wash. But which choice is better for the environment? The main concerns with either choice are the amount of fresh water used and the types of chemicals used to get rid of the dirt. Both of these concerns can be closely monitored when washing the car at home, says Katy Gresh, spokeswoman for the Southwest Region of the Pennsylvania department of Environmental Protection. She advises car owners to keep a set amount of water in a container for the entire wash. “You don’t want to leave the water running or use more than you need for the job,” she says. But even following this piece of advice comes with an environmental risk: Washing your car in the driveway gets the dirty water into drains (下水道). “Drains are not made for treating waste,” says John Schombert, executive director of 3 Rivers Wet Weather. Even when car owners use natural soaps to wash the car, Schombert says they are probably ineffective in breaking down grease (油脂) anyway. The commercial car wash knows full well the rules regarding wastewater in drains. According to the International Carwash Association (ICA), professional car washes must use special water treatment systems. These processes not only keep the dirty water out of drains and regular water treatment systems, but also work to reduce water usage at commercial facilities. As experts point out, cleaning our car at home can use 100 gallons of water. Compare that to self-service car washes, which allow you to use only about 17 or 18 gallons of water. And most full-service car washes average about 30 to 45 gallons of water per vehicle. 14. What does Katy suggest people do about washing cars? A. Use soft toothbrushes. B. Save treated water. C. Put aside some water. D. Avoid using chemicals. 15. What is Schombert’s attitude to washing cars at home? A. Disapproving. B. Favourable. C. Suspicious. D. Objective. 16. What is the 4th paragraph mainly about? A. Rules of handling wastewater. B. Advantages of professional car washes. C. Processes of getting rid of dirty water. D. Drawbacks of water treatment systems. 17. Which method of car washing consumes the least water? A. The full-service car washes. B. Car washing in the driveway. C. The self-service car washes. D. Car washing using natural soaps. C We are the products of evolution (进化), and not just evolution that occurred billions 佛山一中2022-2023 学年度第一学期高二级段考一试题 英 语 共9 页 第4 页 of years ago. As scientists look deeper into our genes, they are finding examples of human evolution in just the past few thousand years. People in Ethiopian highlands have adapted to living at high altitudes. Cattle-raising people in East Africa and northern Europe have gained a mutation (突变) that helps them digest milk as adults. On Thursday in an article published in Cell, a team of researchers reported a new kind of adaptation, not to air or to food, but to the ocean. A group of sea-dwelling people in Southeast Asia have evolved into better divers. The Bajau, as these people are known, number in the hundreds of thousands in Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. They have traditionally lived on houseboats; in recent times, they’ve also built houses on stilts ( 支柱) in coastal waters. “They are simply a stranger to the land,” said Rodney C. Jubilado, a University of Hawaii researcher who studies the Bajau. Dr. Jubilado first met the Bajau while growing up on Samal Island in the Philippines. They made a living as divers, spearfishing or harvesting shellfish. “We were so amazed that they could stay underwater much longer than us local islanders,” Dr.Jubilad
