Question

【題目】 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(血統(tǒng)). 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 pop singer Leehom Wang (王力宏). Chinese people love him, especially young people. But he is an American citizen.

本文是一篇說明文，介紹了一種特殊的被稱為ABC的人。他們是在美國出生的中國人，他們可能不是中國公民，但他們在血緣上是中國人。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)ABC means American-born Chinese，可知ABC指的是在美國出生的中國人，故選C。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)when a person is a "banana", he or she is white inside—thinking like a Westerner and yellow outside—looking like a Chinese，可知他們內(nèi)在的思維是西式的，但外在的相貌是中式的，故選B。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)But they are not Chinese citizens，可知他們不是中國公民，所以A選項表述錯誤，故選A。

【4】文章主旨題。通讀全文，可知文章介紹了一種特殊的被稱為ABC的人，他們是在海外出生的中國人。他們不是中國國籍，但他們有中國血統(tǒng)，依然是中國人。故選B。
