Many years ago my student asked me the question, "Mrs. Kindred, why do you teach?" Without taking time to reflect, I answered, "Because someday I might say something that might make a difference in someone's life." Even though I was sincere, that wasn't a very good answer and my student didn't let it slide.

"Let me get this straight," he said, "You went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone?" He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused. I'm one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty, or swift.

Even though that particular student might no longer wonder why I teach, there are days when I wonder. On those days, I remind myself of the real reasons I teach:

It's in my blood. My mother was my most influential teacher, and she was a 6th grade reading teacher until her death in 1990. She instilled(逐漸灌輸) in me a love of reading and the knowledge that education opens doors.

Teaching is a way to make a difference. If you throw a stone in a pond the ripples go on and on until they reach the shore. You can't have ripples without a "stone." Good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference, and that's what I strive to do.

I genuinely love teenagers. I want to share with others what I know and what I have learned through the years. Life is full of ups and downs, and if I can help students avoid some potholes on the road of life, I want to do so. If they'll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, I want to do too.

Teaching isn't for everyone, but I know I made the right career choice.

Why did the student continue to ask the question about the writer’s being a teacher?

  A. Because he thought her answer was unbelievable.  

  B. Because the writer was insincere.

  C. Because the student was naughty.                

D. Because the answer was difficult to understand.

What do you think of the writer?

  A. Stupid.                       B. Honest.                    C. Conservative.                   D. Polite.

According to the text, which of the following is NOT true?

  A. The writer’s mother has the greatest influence on her.

  B. The writer’s answer made the student confused.

  C. In the writer’s opinion, some people in the world are unfit to teach.

  D. The writer annoyed the student who asked the question.

We can infer from the text that _________.

  A. the writer was also a good teacher in school

  B. the writer often plays with her students beside a pond

  C. the writer devotes herself to teaching and her students

  D. the writer often accompanies the students on their way home

What’s the main idea of the text?

  A. A student’s silly question.                                 B. A good teacher who likes students.

  C. A confused student.                                          D. The reason why I teach.

第二節(jié)讀寫任務（共1小題，滿分25分）
李華是一名高一年級的中學生，閱讀她的這篇日記，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。
August 6, 2010                           Sunny
Half of my summer vocation has passed. It's supposed to be the time for me, a senior- one student, to relax, read novels, chat with friends and, anyway, not to worry about getting up at 7 am for class.
Even before the vocation, I had been arranged to attend different "enrichment" classes to improve my main subjects. My mum did ask for my opinion whether I would like to go to such classes. But could I refuse? My negative reply would cause a long persuasion, which I would not face.
Besides, the teachers made summer homework lists as we were sent off for vocation. The reason sounds persuasive -- to keep us studying during the long break so we wouldn't forget our lessons.
I found that the joy of my summer vocation had been stolen. But do I blame my mum or my teachers? Of course not. Though I don't like listening to my mum's lessons about society competition, I still understand that I should do well in study. What bothers me is that I don't feel like sitting in the classroom focusing my mind on the teachers' lectures. My mind is staying outdoors, tasting the freedom of the blue skies, the power of sunshine and the comfort of gentle wind....... not only scores or certificates.
【寫作內容】
1.以約30個詞概括短文的要點；

科目：高中英語 來源：2014屆吉林通化第一中學高三第一次月考英語卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

My eighth grade consisted of 28 classmates. We knew each other so well that most of us could distinguish each other's handwriting at a glance. Although we grew up together, we still had class outcasts．From second grade on, a small group started harassing （騷擾） two or three of the others．I was one of those two or three, though I didn't know why．In most cases when children get picked on, they aren't good at sports or they read too much or they wear the wrong clothes or they are of a different race．But in my class, we all read too much and didn't know how to play sports．We had also been brought up to carefully respect each other's race．This is what was so strange about my situation．Usually, people are made outcasts because they are in some way different from the larger group．But in my class, large differences did not exist．It was as if the outcasts were invented by the group out of a need for them．

The harassment came in the form of laughter when I talked, and rolled eyes when I turned around．If I was out on the playground and approached a group of people, they often fell silent．Sometimes, someone would not see me coming and I would catch the tail end of a joke at my expense．

There was another girl in our class who was perhaps even more rejected than I．She provided the group with a lot of material for jokes．One day one popular girl came up to me to show me something she said I wouldn't want to miss．We walked to a comer of the playground．Three or four girls there were reading aloud from a small book, which I was told was the girl's diary．

I sat down and, laughing till my sides hurt, heard my voice finally mixed with the others．Often being accepted by others is more satisfying than being accepted by oneself, even though the satisfaction does not last．Looking back, I wonder how I could have participated in making fun of this girl when I knew perfectly well how it felt．If I were in that situation today I would react differently, but I can't honestly be sure．

1.The author was made an outcast because ____．

A．she couldn't play sports as well as others

B．her classmates needed to find an outcast her

C．her classmates found her clothes funny

D．family belonged to a minority group

2.How was the author treated as an outcast?

A．She was refused to approach others．

B．No one responded to her talking．

C．She was often the target of teasing．

D．Her diary was often made public．

3.What did the author do to the girl mentioned in Paragraph 3?

A．She showed great sympathy with the girl．

B．She found more materials about the girl for jokes．

C．She stopped the others from hurting the girl．

D．She joined others in making fun of the girl．

4.What does the passage intend to tell us?

A．Everyone is likely to become an outcast．

B．We shouldn't hit a person when he is down．

C．Everyone has a desire to be accepted by others．

D．One should pay somebody back in his own way．

閱讀表達 (共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分)

閱讀下面的短文，并根據(jù)短文后的要求答題。（請注意問題后的字數(shù)要求）。

Many students find it hard to make friends when they are in high school. Keeping my suggestions in mind may give you a hand. They certainly helped me, and by the end of my three years of high school, I had formed my group of friends, with whom I still keep in touch now.

Here are my tips:

Say hello anytime I see an acquaintance（相識的人）.

Because I was always smiling and greeting the people I knew, people naturally thought I was friendly（though I am not naturally sociable）. And high school students want to be friends with sociable people.

Take the first step.

All the girls there already knew each other—they didn't need another friend. But I did, so I had to make the effort. I had to be the first one to invite somebody to go to a movie with me, or come to my house. Once I did that they started to respond with the same thing.

Use classes to get to know people.

I met most of my first friends because I sat next to them in class. Class（before, after, or even during class time）is a great opportunity to begin a conversation. For example, ask for help about homework.

Make friends slowly.

I couldn't get discouraged (泄氣的) when it took a while to make friends．It really takes some time to make new friends. In a word, ________________________.

　Above all, remember that it can and will get better. You may have to work a little to make your high school experience a great one, but it's really worth it!

1. For what purpose does the writer write this passage?（Please answer within 15 words.）

____________________________________________________________________

2. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?

I was believed to be sociable because of my friendly attitude towards others．

_____________________________________________________________________

3.Fill in the blank with a sentence.（Please answer within 10 words.）  _____________________________________________________________________

4. Which piece of advice does the following sentence belong to? (Write in detail)

Everybody should make friends patiently in high school.　

____________________________________________________________________

5.Translate the underlined sentence in the first paragraph into Chinese.　　  ___________________________________________________________________
