Question

Fifteen years spent in the field of education has provided me with many treasured moments. One of the most unforgettable moments 1     when I was teaching second 2     10 years ago.

In May I decided to plan something special for the children：a Mother' s Day tea party. We had put our heads together to 3     ideas of how to 4      our mothers. We practiced singing songs,memorized poems and wrote cards. We decided to hold our tea party the Friday before Mother's Day. I was surprised but 5     to learn that every mother was planning to attend. I 6     invited my own mother.

Finally，the big day arrived. Each child 7      up at our classroom door，expecting the arrival of his or her mom. 8      it got closer to starting time,I looked around and my eyes quickly found Jimmy. His mother hadn' t shown up and he was looking 9      .

I took my mother by the hand and walked over to Jimmy. "Jimmy," I said, "I have a bit of

problem here and I was 10      if you could keep my mother 11     while I, m busy?”

My mom and Jimmy sat at a table. Jimmy 12      my mom her treats，presented her with the gift I had made，just as we had 13      the day before. Whenever I looked over，my mother and Jim?my were in deep 14      .

Now 10 years later, I work with students of all ages,educating them about the environment. Last year，I took a senior class on a field trip，and there was Jimmy. I had the students complete an outline of the day' s 15      and an evaluation of our trip. Then I collected the students' booklets and checked them to see if 16      was completed. When I came 17      Jimmy, s page，he had written "Remember our Mother's Day tea party we had in second grade, Mrs. Marra? I do!Thanks for all you did for me，and thank your mother,too."

I told him I really enjoyed what he had written. He looked rather embarrassed and 18      his own thanks and walked away. Suddenly he ran back and gave me a big hug. "Thanks again. No one even knew my mother didn，t 19      it."

I ended my workday with a hug from a teenage boy who had 20      stopped hugging teachers years ago.

Answer 1

從教十五栽給作者留下許多精彩瞬間。十年前，在母親節(jié)前的一個(gè)星期五，作者給所教二年級學(xué)生的家長們舉辦了一個(gè)母親節(jié)茶會(huì)。茶會(huì)上學(xué)生Jimmy的母親未到，這讓他很是沮喪。身為老師的作者立即將自己的母親托付給他讓他幫忙接待。十年之后，當(dāng)作者帶著Jimmy所在的高年級班學(xué)生野外旅行時(shí)，Jimmy在其野外旅行作業(yè)中表達(dá)了對十年前母親節(jié)茶會(huì)上因自己的母親未到而陷入窘境時(shí)老師的"救急"行為的感激之情。字里行間，作者流露出了對作為教師的工作經(jīng)歷的滿意之情。

1. B從首句談到從教十五載給作者留下許多精彩瞬間的引入可知，作者接下來要介紹她所經(jīng)歷的事。所以，最難忘的事情應(yīng)是"發(fā)生"在十年前。

2. C從第二個(gè)經(jīng)歷講到的同一個(gè)學(xué)生可知，十年前作者是在教二"年級"。

3. D"將腦袋湊到一塊兒"肯定是"想(辦法)"。

4. B第二段首句表明舉辦這些活動(dòng)是為了慶祝母親節(jié)。而舉行的這些活動(dòng)只是為了讓母親們高興而已。"愛"、"尊敬"和"崇敬"應(yīng)是在平時(shí)的生活中體現(xiàn)出來。

5. C當(dāng)了解到所有的母親都準(zhǔn)備來參加茶會(huì)的情況后，作者感到既驚訝又"寬慰"。

6. A當(dāng)了解到所有的學(xué)生母親都準(zhǔn)備要來時(shí)，作者"甚至"也向自己的母親發(fā)出了邀請。even此處表遞進(jìn)關(guān)系。

7. D既然是慶祝母親節(jié)，孩子們就有相關(guān)的儀式。孩子"排列"在教室門口迎接母親們的到來。

8. A從下文主句可知，作者留意到Jimmy是在儀式臨近開始之時(shí)。while后應(yīng)接延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞。

9. D本來是所有母親都要來的，可Jimmy的母親卻沒有露面，這無疑讓Jimmy"不安"。另一方面，作者將自己的母親委托給Jimmy接待只能是當(dāng)她看到Jimmy獨(dú)自一人顯得"沮喪"時(shí)所采取的行動(dòng)。

10. B I'm wondering if...是表請求的委婉說法。

11. C keep sb. company陪伴某人。

12. A serve sb. sth.用某物款待某人。supply sb. with sth.為某人提供某物。另兩項(xiàng)詞義不符該語境。

13. C按前一天"練習(xí)"的那樣招待母親。

14. D in deep conversation在深入交談之中。

15. C從名詞所有格的使用來看，此處只能是指那天的"活動(dòng)/事件"。

16. B老師將學(xué)生的作業(yè)收起來檢查看他們是否完成了每一項(xiàng)內(nèi)容。

17. B come to來到，到達(dá)。此處表"檢查到"的意思。

18. D由前面"he looked rather embarrassed"的表述可知，他"悄悄地表達(dá)了"他的謝意。

19. A make it是一個(gè)習(xí)語，表"做到了 "、"成功了 " 等意思。此處表"來了"之意。

20. A從Jimmy的激動(dòng)之舉來看，作者認(rèn)為Jimmy "可能"已經(jīng)好久沒有同老師擁抱了。B項(xiàng)太絕對；C和D項(xiàng)詞義不符合語境。
