Question

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.

Answer 1

【小題1】C
【小題2】B
【小題3】C
【小題4】D
【小題5】B

解析試題分析：這篇短文為我們介紹的是ABC，即美國出生的中國人，或外國出生的中國人。這樣的人有著中國人的外貌，中國人的血統(tǒng)，但是他們不是中國的公民。也許他們不懂得中國的文化，也不會說中國話。
【小題1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章中第二行ABC means American-born Chinese，ABC，即美國出生的中國人。A 三個英語字母；B 一種香蕉；C 美國出生的中國人；D中國出生的美國人。故選C。
【小題2】推理判斷題。文章中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.，意為，有時候人們稱ABC為香蕉人。香蕉外面是黃色的。所以香蕉人就是里面是白色的，即像西方人那樣的思考；而外面是黃色的，就像中國人一樣。故這里的香蕉人是來比喻這些有著中國人的外表卻有著西方人思想的人。故B選項是最佳答案。
【小題3】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)文章中But they have Chinese blood. Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair.，他們有著中國人的血統(tǒng)，他們的父母、祖父母甚至曾祖父母是中國人。他們都有黑色的眼睛黑色的頭發(fā)。由此我們可以猜測，這些人雖然不是中國人，但他們有中國人的血統(tǒng)。故選C。
【小題4】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后一段But they are not Chinese citizens，可知，他們不是中國的公民。故D表述不對。根據(jù)第二段Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language可知A、C選項表述正確；根據(jù)They are overseas Chinese可知B選項表述正確。故選D。
【小題5】主旨大意題。這篇文章主要為我們講述的是ABC，即海外華人。他們有著中國人的血統(tǒng)，中國人的外貌，但卻不是中國公民。故選B。
