科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:2011-2012學(xué)年福建省福州八中高二下學(xué)期期末考試英語(yǔ)試卷(帶解析) 題型:閱讀理解
The fictional Chinese-American detective Charlie Chan was the subject of popular books and movies for many decades. In recent years, however, the character has been criticized as an ill image of Asian-Americans.
Yunte Huang, an English professor at the University of California, says that’s not the case. He has been exploring the character and real-life policeman who inspired him.
Charlie Chan has been a familiar character to readers and film-goers, beginning in the 1920s. The detective solved crimes around the world in more than 40 films through the 1940s, and with the invention of television, found a new audience in the 1950s and 1960s.
Huang discovered Charlie Chan through books by American author Earl Derr Biggers, who created the character.
“One day, I happened to find two Charlie Chan novels. At that point I thought I knew that he was a negative character against Asians, but when I read the book,” he says, “I was immediately attracted. Ever since then, I’ve been a fan of Charlie Chan.”
As a fan of the books and films, Huang was surprised to learn that Charlie Chan was based on a real detective named Chang Apana, who was born to Chinese parents in Hawaii around 1871. Apana worked as a cowboy, and joined the Honolulu police force in 1898.
“He almost immediately became a local legend because as a former cowboy,” says Huang, “he would walk the most dangerous areas in Chinatown carrying a bullwhip(皮鞭)instead of a gun. He didn’t need that.”
Although some say the image of Charlie Chan, with his broken English, is embarrassing for Asian-Americans, Huang believes Chan’s broken English and unusual ancient sayings were part of his charm(魅力).
“Let me just quote(引用)a few – ‘Actions speak louder than French,’ or ‘Mind like parachute (降落傘). Only function when open.’ Charlie Chan always owes these instructive sayings to Confucius’ eastern wisdom.
For Huang, the fictional Charlie Chan is highly entertaining, while the real-life policeman, Chang Apana, is a Chinese-American success, whose story is worth telling.

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:2016屆浙江省高一上學(xué)期期中英語(yǔ)試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解
It's not much, but it's home. Francis Chan, an engineer, lives in Hampstead, north London, in a flat that's just 4ft wide by 21ft long. He loves it.
Tiny though it is, it has got all the comforts. Peter Baynes, Chan’s architect (建筑師),has achieved a clever piece of design, according to architectural experts.
The Chan mini-house was built on what was once a path down the side of a big Victarian house. Not an inch of space is wasted.
When you step in through the front door, you're standing in the shower, on Britain' s only self-cleansing doormat (自動(dòng)清潔門(mén)墊). A door opens on to an equally tiny toilet with washbasin. Two steps further in comes the kitchen, complete with full-sized cooker and fridge, and washer/ drier. A worktop folds down from the wall.
Another step and you're into the dining/ office area. Four people can sit here for dinner, says Chan as he sets the table-top into place. He even has a fold-down drawing-board for when he's working at home. The bed is hidden under a cover board right at the back. "I don't even have to make the bed," Chan says." I just put the cover down. "
Chan's business suits hang neatly on the wall over the bed. Daylight comes in through the skylight. The house feels like a very small boat and Chan admits he toyed with the idea of naming it the "boat-house".
"It cost around £4,700 to build last year. Now it's been valued at £30,000. It proves that good design doesn't need to cost more. It just needs a lot of care." says Chan.
1.By saying "It's not much" (line 1, para. 1), the author means that Chan's flat______.
A. is cheap B. has cheap furniture C. has a simple design D. is fairly small
2.Where is Chan's flat?
A. Next to a big house B. Under an old building
C. In a busy London street D. By the side of a country road
3.Which of the following is the right order of things described in the text?
A. Shower, kitchen, toilet, dining table and bed
B. Shower, toilet, dining table, kitchen and bed
C. Shower, toilet, kitchen, dining table and bed
D. Shower, kitchen, toilet, bed and dining table
4.What is the purpose of this writing?
A. To sell Chan's flat for more money
B. To tell people how to take care of small flat
C. To introduce to readers a cleverly-designed flat
D. To call on engineers to design their own home
