8.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.

21.Why did the student continue to ask the question about the writer's being a teacher?B
A.Because the writer was insincere.
B.Because he thought her answer was unbelievable.
C.Because the student was naughty.
D.Because the answer was difficult to understand.
22.What do you think of the writer?A
A.Honest.  B.Stupid.  C.Conservative.  D.Polite.
23.According to the text,which of the following is NOT true?D
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.
24.What's the main idea of the text?C
A.A student's silly question.
B.A good teacher who likes students.
C.The reason why I teach.
D.A confused student.

分析 本文講述了作者對于自己所從事的教師這個職業(yè)的理解:為學(xué)生打開知識的大門.

解答 21.B 推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章第二段前3行"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.可知他認為我的說法很不合理,很瘋狂.所以才會繼續(xù)追問.故A正確.
22.A 推理判斷題. 根據(jù)第一段的最后一句Even though I was sincere,that wasn't a very good answer and my student didn't let it slide盡管我很真誠,還有全文內(nèi)容可以看出作者是誠實的honest.排除B 項(愚蠢的)、C項(保守的)和D項(有禮貌的).
23.D 推理判斷題.根據(jù)第二段后3句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.可知我并沒有因為學(xué)生說的話而惱怒.在文章第三段里我還是繼續(xù)思考這個問題.故D正確.
24.C主旨大意題 從文章的結(jié)構(gòu)和作者對自己為什么從教的解釋得知.

點評 閱讀理解題測試考生在閱讀基礎(chǔ)上的邏輯推理能力,要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關(guān)系,對未說明的趨勢或結(jié)局作出合理的推斷;或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點理論,對文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋.考生首先要仔細閱讀短文,完整了解信息,準確把握作者觀點.

17.Personal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time.
Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members,but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about.I know this from personal experience.
E-mail makes it easy to work at home,which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings.My working hours aren't necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at the office.This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she'd been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.
The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends.Say you do something fun see a great movie perhaps-and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it.If you call each one,you may tire of telling the story.
With E-mail,you just write one note about your experience,at your convenience,and address it to all the friends you think might be interested.They can read your message when they have time,and read only as much as they want to.They can reply at their convenience,and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.
E-mail is also an inexpensive way stay in close touch with people who live far away.More than a few parents use E-mail to keep in touch,even daily touch,with their children off at college.
We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch.They don't take the place of any of the old ways.
