20.I arrived in the classroom,ready to share my knowledge and experience with 76 students who would be my English literature class.Having taught in the US for 17 years,I have no doubt about my ability to hold their attention and to impress on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue.
I was shocked when the monitor shouted,"stand up!"The entire class rose as I entered the room and I was somewhat puzzled about how to get them to sit down again,but once the embarrassment (尷尬) was over,I quickly regained my calmness and admiration.I went back to my office with the rosy glow which came from a strong sense of achievement.
My students kept diaries.However,as I read them,the rosy glow was gradually replaced by a strong sense of sadness.The first diary said,"Our literature teacher didn't teach us anything today.Perhaps her next lecture will be better."Greatly surprised,I read diary after diary,each expressing a similar theme."Didn't I teach them anything?I described the entire Western philosophy (哲學(xué)) and laid the historical background for all the works we will study in class."I complained."How should they say I didn't teach them anything?"
It was a long term,and it gradually became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as those of my students.I thought a teacher's job was to raise interesting questions and provide enough background so that students could draw their own conclusions.My students thought a teacher's job was to provide exact information as directly and clearly as possible.What a difference!
However,I also learned a lot,and the experience with my Chinese students has made me a better American teacher,knowing how to teach in a different culture.
56.We can know that on the first day the writerC.
A.felt she didn't teach them much
B.was very confident in her students
C.felt very confident in herself at first
D.was disappointed at her students'performance
57.At the beginning of the lesson,the writer got puzzled because ofA.
A.cultural differences              
B.students'admiration
C.students'embarrassment          
D.the same experience
58.The writer learnt from their diaries that the students wanted toD.
A.raise interesting questions           
B.know about background
C.draw their own conclusions    
D.know more exact facts
59.Which of the following is true according to the passage?D
A.The writer got used to the life in China.
B.The writer doubted about her ability of teaching.
C.The writer had taught in many western countries.
D.The writer became better at teaching foreign students.

分析 作者滿懷信心地來到中國教書,結(jié)果學(xué)生們卻說在她的課堂上沒有學(xué)到東西.后來作者才了解到她的教育觀念和學(xué)生們對教育的看法是不同的.作者通過自己的這段經(jīng)歷告訴我們:不同的國家有著不同的文化背景,從而導(dǎo)致了不同的教育觀念.

解答 CADD 
56.  C 細節(jié)理解題.由第一段第二句話中的"…I have no doubt about my ability to hold their attention and…"可知,作者毫不懷疑自己的能力,對自己滿懷信心.故選C.
57.  A 推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章最后一段the experience with my Chinese students has made me a better American teacher,knowing how to teach in a different culture可知作者的困惑是由文化差異造成的,故A項為最佳答案.故選A.
58.  D 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第四段My students thought a teacher's job was to provide exact information as directly and clearly as possible.What a difference!可知,學(xué)生們認為老師的任務(wù)就是盡可能直接而又清晰地向?qū)W生提供準確的信息.故選D.
59.D   細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章最后一段the experience with my Chinese students has made me a better American teacher,knowing how to teach in a different culture可知中國學(xué)生教會了在一個不同的文化里如何教學(xué),故選D.

點評 做閱讀理解時要快速的瀏覽全文,把握文章主旨大意,帶著問題回到原文,尋找細節(jié)或概括相應(yīng)的答案,最后要理清作者寫作思路.

10.When milk arrived on the doorstep
    When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s,we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep.His name was Mr.Basille.He wore a white cap and drove a white truck.As a 5-year-old boy,I couldn't take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt.He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.
    Of course,he delivered more than milk.There was cheese,eggs and so on.If we needed to
change our order.my mother would pen a note-"Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery"
-and place it in the box along with the empty bottles.And then,the buttermilk would magically appear.
    All of this was about more than convenience.There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen.Mr.Basille even had a key to our house,for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors,so that the milk wouldn't freeze.And I remember Mr.
Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table,having a cup of tea and telling stories
about his delivery.
    There is sadly no home milk delivery today.Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk,thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete.Besides,milk is for sale everywhere,and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.
    Recently.a(chǎn)n old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories.I
took it home and planted it on the back porch(門廊).Every so often my son's friends will ask what it is.So I start telling stories of my boyhood,and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.
51.Mr.Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changerC.
  A.to show his magical power
  B.to pay for the delivery
  C.to satisfy his curiosity
  D.to please his mother
52.What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy's house?D
    A.He wanted to have tea there.
    B.He was a respectable person.
    C.He became the boy's family member.
    D.He was fully trusted by the family.
53.Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?B
    A.Nobody wants to be a milkman now.
    B.It has been driven out of the market.
    C.Its service is getting poor.
    D.It is forbidden by law.
54.Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?A
    A.He missed the good old days.
    B.He wanted to tell interesting stories.
    C.He needed it for his milk bottles.
    D.He planted flowers in it.

11.Not being the greatest fan in the world of live performance,I took a deep breath before I entered the building,the castle theatre,and prepared myself to be bored,expecting to find it more interesting to watch the audience than the show.Then I got the shock of my life.
Wadaiko Inchiro are a group of ten young Japanese men and women using traditional drums with a history going back more than 1500years.The drums were once used for festivals and religious ceremonies and also as a means of communication during wars.Today they give an ear-blasting performance which punches out rhythms with the power to wind you.They're a welcome relief from the Scottish pipers.
Unlike other performances,the best seats are at the back of the house.Not only will your ears be protected from full blast,but you will get a fantastic view of the whole set.On stage are some of the biggest drums you will ever see and a cast wearing red,white and black headscarf.
There had been almost no publicity for the show,but the house was full of people desperate,one could only assume,for something a bit different from the unrelenting performances appearing at this world-famous festival.The solid 60-minutes show starts as it means to go on.The drums rumble into fever-pitch action as the ten-strong company strike their sticks with startling control.Their rhythmic frenzy almost immediately drugs you into submission.Trapped inside the beating of the drums,you carried swiftly through warrior war cries to emotional rhapsodies(狂想曲).Not only is this display musically impressive,but the dance is strikingly beautiful.Moving between the enormity(巨大)of the drums,the slight Japanese characters have complete synchronicity(同步性)with the flying of their sticks,which they ceremonially cross and use to command.
The biggest drum is played only by Inchiro,the leader of the group.When I ask why this is so,he refuses to admit that he is being precious about this monster of an instrument and says:"When someone else can play it as I do,I will happily move aside."Dressed all in red,he stands before it as thought he is worshipping at an altar; as he raises his sticks to the drum,he touches it sometimes tenderly and sometimes murderously.Inchiro and his drum produce a range of sounds from thunder to the trickle of rain.

46.The writer took a deep breath before entering the building because she.D
A.was excited                 B.knew it would be hot in the theatre
C.was nervous                 D.was preparing herself to be bored
47.According to the writer,there were many people watching the performance because.B
A.the drummers are dressed in different colors
B.they wanted to see something unusual
C.the people in the group are famous
D.the show had been well advertised
48.We can learn from the passage that.A
A.the drums have been linked with religion for a long time
B.the show was more exciting at the beginning than at the end
C.the drummers make controlled movements with their drums
D.the best place to see the show is the seats nearest to the drummers
49.Inchiro feels that.C
A.no one else should ever play the biggest drum
B.he must always make loud noises on his biggest drum
C.he is now the only one who can play the biggest drum well enough
D.it is very important for him to teach someone else to play the biggest drum.

12.Sure,it's good to get along with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.
And yes,it's good to get along with your teacher because,in general,it's smart to learn how to understand the different types of people you'll meet throughout your life.
"But really,there's one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher.When you do,learning bursts right open,"says Evelyn Vuko,a longtime teacher who writes an education column called"Teacher Says"for the Washington Post newspaper.
In fact,kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more,but they're more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help.This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests.When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher,he or she can be someone to turn to with problems,such as problems with learning or school life,such as bullying.
As a kid in a primary or middle school,you're at a wonderful stage in your life.You're like a sponge (海綿),able to absorb lots of new and exciting information.On top of that,you're able to think about all this information in new ways.Your teacher knows that,in most cases,is very excited to be the person who's giving you all that material and helping you make it.Remember,teachers are people,too,and they feel great if you're open to what they're teaching you.That's why they wanted to be teachers in the first place-to teach!
Some kids may be able to learn in any situation,whether they like the teacher or not.But most kids are sensitive to the way they get along with the teacher,and if things aren't going well,they won't learn as well and won't enjoy being in class.
551.In the passage,the author mainly talks aboutC.
A.how to get along well with others
B.how much the students are expected of to get along with teachers
C.the importance of a good relation with teachers
D.how to make the time in the classroom more pleasant
56."Learning bursts right open"in the third paragraph really meansC.
A.there'll be more problems with learning
B.you find an opening to learning
C.learning becomes easier for you at once
D.there'll be no problems at all with learning
57.According to the passage,which of the following statements is TRUE?D
A.If you get on well with your teachers,you must have a good result in exams.
B.The more questions you ask,the higher marks you will get.
C.Many kids can do well without a good relationship with teachers.
D.If you have a good relationship with your teacher,you can turn to him when in trouble.
58.Which of the comments is FALSE on teachers and their work according to the passage?B
A.Teachers sometimes have the same feelings as students do.
B.Teachers are excited even if you wouldn't like to accept their teaching.
C.Though few,there are still some students who can learn even if they don't like the teacher.
D.Having a bad relationship with your teachers does more or less harm to your studies.

9.Is a recently discovered hormone the reason why folks who lose weight can't keep it off?
Like millions of other fat people,at 530inches high,more than 300pounds,Carnie Wilson was not just fat.After trying all sort of diets that didn't work,she has to go to the stomach-bypass surgery (胃部迂回手術(shù)),ie,have most of her stomach sewed up,only leaving tiny room to hold several tablespoonfuls at most.Result:she simply couldn't eat the way she used to.In three years,Wilson is one third of her former weight.
Wilson's experience is not all that unusual,and while doctors still aren't exactly sure what is going on,a report in last week's Journal of Medicine offers an explanation.The loss of appetite in bypass patients may be linked to a recently discovered hormone called ghrelin.Not only that,ghrelin may turn out to be one reason we feel hungry and it's hare for didters to keep weight off.
Nowadays,researchers are careful to stress only what they know for sure.For the three conclusions,the leading Dr.David of the University of Washington says,"I feel very solid about two of them."The first is that ghrelin levels in the bloodstream rise significantly before meals and drop afterward.The second conclusion is that ghrelin levels are higher on average in people who have lost weight from dieting.
Dr.David is less sure of the third conclusion,that bypass patients have only a quarter as much ghrelin as most people of normal weight.After all,ghrelin is produced by cells in the stomach.Years ago,leptin,a hormone was found as an appetite suppressant (食物抑制劑).But after years of trying,it had to be given up.
What doctors suspect is that both leptin and ghrelin are part of a complex system of brain and body chemicals that govern weight and appetite.That does not mena pharmaceutical (藥物的) weight control is forever out of the question."In the next ten years,we will be able to develop new drugs to help people lose weight healthily and effectively."

47.What can we learn about ghrelin according to the passage?D
A.After meals ghrelin levels are higher in the bloodstream.
B.People who have lost weight have less ghreilin in their body.
C.Without ghrelin,people are really difficult to lose weight.
D.Ghrelin is something produced by cells in the stomach.
48.What is Dr.David not sure?B
A.pharmaceutical weight control is impossible.
B.There is less ghrelin in the bypass patients.
C.new drugs will be developed in 10years.
D.ghrelin levels are higher in people on diet.
49.In fact,people's weight and appetite are controlled byC
A.ghrelin and leptin             B.hormone and medicine
C.brain and body chemicals       D.stomach and food
50.What can we infer from the passage?C
A.People with a lower ghrelin level go hungry easily.
B.Doctors managed to use leption to control the appetite.
C.Doctors are optimistic about how to lose weight healthily.
D.The loss of appetite in bypass aptient is linked to leptin.
