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 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：你可能知道英文字母A,B和c,但你知道有些人稱(chēng)為abc嗎?你知道有一種東西是“香蕉人”嗎?多么奇怪!ABC是出生在美國(guó)的中國(guó)人。ABC是一個(gè)中國(guó)人,但出生在美國(guó)。有時(shí),人們叫ABC“香蕉人”。他們是海外的中國(guó)人。這些人可能是公民在另一個(gè)國(guó)家像美國(guó),加拿大或新加坡。但有中國(guó)的血統(tǒng)。他們的父母,甚至祖父母或曾祖父母都來(lái)自中國(guó)。他們都有黑色的眼睛和黑色的頭發(fā)。但他們不是中國(guó)公民。他們是中華人民共和國(guó)的人。例如,我們都知道著名的科學(xué)家楊振寧。在1957年他獲得了諾貝爾物理學(xué)獎(jiǎng),中國(guó)人民愛(ài)他。但他是一個(gè)美國(guó)公民。

1.分析原文：An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States.句意：ABC是一個(gè)中國(guó)人,但出生在美國(guó)。故選：C

2.分析原文：But they have Chinese blood. Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China.句意：但有中國(guó)的血統(tǒng)。他們的父母,甚至祖父母或曾祖父母都來(lái)自中國(guó)。因此劃線詞為血統(tǒng)之意。故選：C

3.分析原文：They are overseas（海外的）Chinese.句意：他們是海外的中國(guó)人。故選：B
