5.Maggiano is an award-winning teacher in the Social Studies Department at West Springfield High School in Virginia.He has taught in public and private schools for 25years.In a piece on his blog called"The Classroom Post,"he calls for more males to enter the profession(職業(yè)).
Men Teach,a non-profit organization that encourages men to enter teaching,reports that in 2008,18.8% of all elementary and middle school teachers were men.At the high school level during the same year,men comprised(構(gòu)成) 44% of the work force.
Why are there so few men in teaching?Men Teach says low pay and lack of prestige(聲望),as well as a perception in our culture that teaching is for women.As a result,there is no organized effort across the country to attract men into the teaching profession.
A study in 2008by the National Education Association showed that the number of male teachers hit a record 40-year low.Males comprised 24.5percent of public schoolteachers.States with high percentages:Kansas (33.6percent),Oregon (31.6percent),Alaska (30.9percent) and Indiana (30.5percent).States with the lowest percentage:Arkansas (16.2percent),Virginia (17.4percent),Mississippi (17.5percent),Louisiana (18percent),South Carolina (18.5percent) and Georgia (19.7percent).
There is no definitive(確定) research that male students--or female students,for that matter--learn better from a particular sex.
But as Maggiano put it,"Kids today,both boys and girls,must have the same opportunity to learn from outstanding,devoted men that I did.However,I have heard little discussion about this problem coming from our national leaders.

45.What worries Maggiano is thatC.
A.nobody will take his place when he retires
B.male teachers are not so excellent
C.men are not interested in teaching
D.there is not enough teachers in the schools
46.According to the text,we can infer thatB.
A.the number of male teachers hit a record 40-year low in 2008
B.it is not sure students will learn better from male teachers
C.male teachers get a higher pay
D.organized efforts have been made to call on men into the teaching profession
47.In which state are male teachers most badly needed?D
A.Alaska    B.Virginia    
C.Georgia   D.Arkansas
48.What does the last paragraph suggest?A
A.The government doesn't pay much attention to the shortage of male teachers in the school.
B.Students find it easy to learn from male teachers.
C.I'm glad to hear the discussion about the shortage of male teachers in the school.
D.The shortage of male teachers in the school has no effect on students.

分析 本文是一篇說明文.主要闡述了呼吁更多的男性同胞從事教師這個行業(yè).Maggiano 是在西維吉尼亞州的斯普林菲爾德高中的一位獲獎教師,他呼吁呼吁更多的男性同胞從事教師這個行業(yè).‘男性教育'一個非盈利組織也鼓勵男性進入教師行業(yè),調(diào)查顯示,男性在教育中比例偏小.為什么男性從事教育的少呢?不高的薪水、缺少社會聲望、人們傳統(tǒng)的觀念,認為教育是女性從事的職業(yè).

解答 45---48 CBDA
45.C   推理判斷題.根據(jù)第三段中的"low pay and lack of prestige(聲望),as well as a perception in our culture that teaching is for women.As a result,there is no organized effort across the country to attract men into the teaching profession"可知,不高的薪水、缺少社會聲望、人們傳統(tǒng)的觀念--認為教育是女性從事的職業(yè),沒有強大的組織力量來吸引男性同胞從事教育行業(yè),即男性對教育行業(yè)不感興趣,故選C.
46.B  推理判斷題.根據(jù)第五段中的"There is no definitive(確定) research that male students--or female students,for that matter--learn better from a particular sex"可知,還沒有確定的研究表明到底是哪個特定的性別更有利于學(xué)生更好的學(xué)習(xí),故選B.
47.D    細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第四段中的"States with the lowest percentage:Arkansas (16.2percent),Virginia (17.4percent),Mississippi (17.5percent),Louisiana (18percent),South Carolina (18.5percent) and Georgia (19.7percent)"可知,在Arkansas (16.2percent),男性從事教育的排名是最低的,故選D.
48.A     推理判斷題.根據(jù)最后一段中"However,I have heard little discussion about this problem coming from our national leaders."可知,政府主管部門應(yīng)該更加關(guān)注男性教師缺乏的問題,故選A.

點評 解答細節(jié)理解題時,一個常用的方法就是運用定位法,即根據(jù)題干和選項中的關(guān)鍵詞從原文中找到相關(guān)的句子,與選項進行比較從而確定答案;推理判斷題既要求學(xué)生透過文章表面文字信息推測文章隱含意思,又要求學(xué)生對作者的態(tài)度、意圖及文章細節(jié)的發(fā)展作正確的推理判斷,力求從作者的角度去考慮,不要固守自己的看法或觀點.

15.Public schools in Washington,D.C.provide students with musical instruments for free.When something goes wrong with an instrument,Charles West and Larry Jernigan  do the repairs.Both men approach their work with a passion(激情).For them,it's important that students have a joyful experience with music.
The two have worked together for almost 20years.This year alone,they've fixed about 450instruments.Both men are musicians and music lovers,so learning to do repairs came naturally.
"I have been a musician all my life."says West."I played in an orchestra here in the city.I majored in music in college.I played in an army band."
Jernigan's musical interests are varied."I was formerly trained in the piano and guitar.The alto sax,and the flute,I picked up while working here."
In addition to fixing instruments,the two also go to schools to instruct teachers and students on how to make minor repairs on their own.
West believes if children start early and stay involved with music,it enriches other areas of their lives."I see that in other kids.I see it in myself.I have seen it hundreds of times and it works."he says."They learn teamwork.They learn patience and respect."
But West has concerns about the future of music in the electronic age."This instant age has taken away from the sit-down,the patience.And to learn to play an instrument,it takes patience,it takes diligence.It takes time."
Being able to enjoy music on the job is one of the benefits of the job.Both men agree their best rewards are the students'performances.

36.What's the job of West and Jernigan at school?D

B.Writing music
C.Making musical instruments
D.Repairing musical instruments.
37.They love the job because they canC.

38.Which of the following is true of the two men?B
A.They have fixed 450instruments in the past 20years
B.They can play and repair musical instruments.
C.Jernigan used to play in all army band.
D.West was trained to play the piano.
39.According to West,what can people learn from music?A
A.Teamwork and patience.    B.The value of time.
C.The truth of society.     D.Diligence and confidence
40.What is mainly talked about in the text?D
A.How to repair musical instruments.
B.Learning experiences of two repairmen.
C.How to prepare a musical performance.
D.The enjoyable job of two music lovers.
