Question

As an exchange student, I have been staying in a host family in Beijing for the past five months. The parents are1in their mid-30s and the son just turned 5. In exchange for room and board, I teach their son2.
Like in many of the other Chinese families, he’s an only child. And though he has3plastic trucks and boxes full of crayons, I don’t know4he has the time to play. When he’s not in the kindergarten, he’s taking after-school classes. On the weekends, the boy goes to more classes. He has one day off―Sunday.
Compared to his schedule, I feel like my childhood was5a waste of time. I learned how to climb trees and draw cartoons. I wasn’t learning Chinese at his age. But he and lots of other children are learning English. Both his parents dream that he will have6jobs, higher pay, and bigger houses.
The boy seems to take no interest7learning English. He doesn’t need a teacher, but a playmate. He is,8, only 5. When I think about my life as a 5-year-old, I know for sure I wasn’t half as9as he is.
In the evening, when his parents10him to speak with me in English, he gets11. He lies on the floors, hides under the table and climbs on the furniture. When he finally stops12, and starts talking, it isn’t in English, but it isn’t in Chinese,13. He speaks in his own language.
He14not be a very good student, but I’m not a great teacher. I just want to be his big brother15can speak in gibberish(胡言乱语) with him and help draw trucks, robots or spiders.

1.考查不定代词。both和either指两者；all和none指三者以上的人或物。作者住在北京一户人家住了五个月。那家的主人都是35岁左右。Both指“两者都”故选A。
2.根据第三段可知，作者住的那家的孩子跟其他孩子一样，也在学英语。故作为交换，作者教小孩英语。故选C。
3.考查数词的用法。Hundred、thousand等与数字连用时不能用复数，且不与of连用。表示虚数时，单独使用，可以用复数，且与of连用。故选B。
4.孩子放学要上补习班，周末上更多的课。故作者说不知道何时才有时间玩那些玩具。故选A。
5.hardly“几乎不”；never“从不”；usually“通常”；almost“几乎；差不多”。A、B表示否定；C指频率。作者认为自己的童年几乎是在浪费时间。故选D。
6.后半句用的都是比较级，故此处用比较级。即“更好的”工作。故选C。
7.take interest in sth.“对......感兴趣”；故选B。
8.考查短语辨析。after all“毕竟，终究”；at all“根本”；first of all“最重要的是”；all the time“一直”。句意“毕竟他才5岁”，故选A。
9.考查as... as的用法。as... As中的第一个as是副词，第二个是连词。中间用形容词或副词的原级。故选D。
10.make/have/let后加动词原形，排除A、C、D；push“推”，小孩不情愿，父母硬要他说英语。故选B。
11.小孩发脾气在地上打滚，乱躲藏，B、C表示的是好的情况；D“受伤的”；A“沮丧的”。故选A。
12.“停止做某事”用stop doing sth.；stop to do sth.是“停下去做另一事”。故选C。
13.小孩说的语言既不是英语，也不是汉语；而是他自己的语言。否定句用either表示“也”。故选D。
14.考查情态动词表推测。Can“可能”；may“可能”；must“一定”；may的可能性没can大；may not意为“可能不”，此处语气比较舒缓，“就算孩子不是一个好学生，我也不是一个好老师。”故选B。
15.考查定语从句。Brother是先行词，指人用who/whom，who作主语；whom作宾语。故选A。
