That morning, I stepped into the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with seventy-five students who would be my English Literature class. Having taught in      for seventeen years, I had no     about my ability to hold their attention and to impress on them my     for the literature of my mother tongue.

As I entered the room, I was     when the monitor shouted: “Stand up!” The entire class rose, and I was somewhat     about how to get them to sit down again. Once that awkwardness was over, I quickly     my calmness and began what I thought was an informed lecture, sure to gain their respect — perhaps     their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which came from a sense of achievement.

I asked my students to keep     as homework. However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually     by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today.     her next lecture will be better.” Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a     theme. “Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework of Western thought and laid the historical     for all the works we’ll study in class,” I complained. “How     they say I didn’t teach them anything?”

It was a long term, and it     became clear that my ideas about     were not the same as those of my students. I thought a teacher’s job was to raise     questions and provide enough background so that students could     their own conclusions. My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide     information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference!

   , I benefited a lot, for my experience with my Chinese students has made me a     American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.

試題分析:我是一名在美國教了17年書的教師,信心滿滿的來中國教書。卻發(fā)現(xiàn)由于文化的差異,我的教育理念和學(xué)生們的并不同。在和中國學(xué)生在一起的日子,我學(xué)會了處在不同的文化背景下,如何去教學(xué)生

1.A  考查名詞辨析 England 英格蘭;America 美國;china 中國;Australia 澳大利亞。根據(jù)I also learned a lot, and my experience with my Chinese students has made me a better American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture,故選B

2.C  考查名詞辨析 worry 煩惱;idea 想法;doubt 懷疑;skill技巧。根據(jù)Having taught in the US for seventeen years,可知我并不懷疑我的能力,故選C

3.B  考查名詞辨析 profession 專業(yè);admiration 欽佩;explanation解釋;expression 表達。句意我對母語文學(xué)的贊賞給他們留下深刻的印象 Impress on sb sth.此處指他確信能給學(xué)生留下深刻的印象,所以選B項。

4.D  考查動詞辨析 attracted 吸引;embarrassed令人尷尬;amused 令人愉快的的;shocked震驚。句意 當(dāng)我走進教室,當(dāng)班長喊起立時我很震驚。根據(jù)下文出現(xiàn)的Once that awkwardness was over,當(dāng)這種局促不安結(jié)束時,可推知當(dāng)時作者是很震驚的,所以選D項。

5.A  考查形容詞辨析 puzzled 迷惑的;sure 確定的;worried著急的;curious 好奇的。句意 當(dāng)全班起立時,我不怎的,很迷惑,是如何讓他們坐下,be puzzled about 對。。困惑,符合情景。所以選A項。

6.C  考查動詞辨析 reminded 提醒;returned 返回;regained重新獲得;recovered 恢復(fù)。but once that awkwardness was over提醒讀者他開始見到那情景有點局促不安,到很快又重新獲得平靜calmness。所以Regain正確

7.B  考查副詞辨析 more 更多;even 甚至;yet然而;still仍然。句意當(dāng)恢復(fù)平靜后,我認(rèn)為開始獲得他們的尊敬甚至是敬佩。admiration是在respect基礎(chǔ)上的遞進,所以用even符合這一空,B正確

8.D  考查名詞辨析 discussion 討論;notes 注意;compositions 作文;diaries日記。學(xué)生們寫日記,我從中看出他們對我的看法 keep kiaries 記日記。所以選D項。

9.A  考查動詞辨析 replaced 代替;frightened 害怕;troubled麻煩;moved移動。句意 讀到學(xué)生的日記,原來縈繞在我心頭的自我好感很快褪色了,取而代之的是悲傷。Be replaced by...被...取代,所以A正確

10.B  考查副詞辨析 later 后來;perhaps 也許;somehow 不管怎么樣;indeed確實、根據(jù)Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today以及her next lecture will be better學(xué)生對我的下一次課的一種期望,但也不肯定。Perhaps也許,是最佳答案

12.D  考查名詞辨析 happenings 事件;characters 性格;development發(fā)展;background背景。根據(jù)all the works we’ll study in class以及I thought a teacher’s job was to raise interesting questions and provide enough background,可知我為他們說明了我們課上所學(xué)的文學(xué)作品的歷史背景,故選D

13.A  考查情態(tài)動詞辨析 should 應(yīng)該;need需要;will 將要;must 必須。句意 他們怎么能說我什么都沒教他們呢?should表示說話人驚奇、憤怒、失望等情感,與前面學(xué)生和我的相反反映是吻合的故選A

14.D  考查副詞辨析 immediately 立刻地;certainly 必然;simply 僅僅;gradually 逐漸地。根據(jù)It was a long term以及my ideas about education were not the same as those of my students,可知我逐漸明白了,故選D

15.C  考查名詞辨析 admiration 欽佩;question 問題;education 教育;conclusion 結(jié)論;句意 我的教育理念和我的學(xué)生們不同,those 代替上文提到ideas ,所以選C項。

16.B  考查形容詞辨析 difficult 困難的;interesting 有趣的;essential 必要的;general 普遍的。在我看來,教師的工作就是提出有趣的問題并提供必要的背景知識,然后學(xué)生通過思考得出自己的結(jié)論。要啟迪學(xué)生思考,問題應(yīng)該要有吸引力,所以B正確

17.A  考查動詞辨析 draw 繪制,拉 得出;find 發(fā)現(xiàn);search尋找;offer提供。draw a conclusion得出結(jié)論,為固定搭配 句意 我認(rèn)為教師的工作就是提出一個有趣的問題,提供足夠的背景,然后讓學(xué)生自己得出結(jié)論

18.C  考查形容詞辨析 special 特殊的;standard 標(biāo)準(zhǔn);exact 確切的;serious 嚴(yán)重的。而我的中國學(xué)生的觀念是,老師應(yīng)該直接將確切地知識信息教給他們,不是去自己摸索。后文的as directly and clearly as possible是提示,所以選C項。

19.B  考查副詞辨析 therefore 因此;however 然而;then然后;though雖然。雖然這中間我很糾結(jié),但我也懂得了一些東西。這里有轉(zhuǎn)折對比的意思。所以B正確

20.D  考查形容詞辨析 richer 富有的;happier幸福的;friendlier 友好的;better 好的。句意 我與我的中國學(xué)生的經(jīng)歷使我成為了一個更好的老師,一個知道在不同文化背景下如何教書的老師。根據(jù)knowing how to teach in a different culture所以 D是正確答案

考點  故事類短文。

I suppose it was        for a boy’s father to wear an apron—even one with race cars—        I never thought much of it until the day that Dad broke with tradition. It was the last Sunday in August.

It’s time you        a greater role in the family. From now on, I want you to        the dishes on Sunday morning, so your mother and I can work the crossword puzzle (縱橫字謎) together.”

“The dishes!?” I        in surprise.

“Anything wrong with taking over the dishes, son?” father said.

I started to say something about a man’s        or woman’s work, but I knew immediately that my protests (抗議) would be        .

I didn’t taste a bit of       that morning. Dad seemed joyful as he described an American game.[www.zxxk.com]

At the end of the meal, my father        , “Let’s go to read the paper, honey.” “Aren’t you doing the dishes?” my 51 asked surprisedly. Father smiled and said, “your oldest son has        to fill the position.”

“I want you to have this apron on, Tommy. It’ll keep your clothes from getting        .” And before I could go against it, he had put the thing on me. “Thanks, Son. Your mother and I        this.”

With that he disappeared into the Sunday paper. I looked        at the dishes. I could see my dad reaching for the dishes. He was always happy to help the family. My anger soon flew off and I began to sing.

 “Last week,” Dr. P said “I was invited to a doctors’ meeting at the R. Hospital. In one of the rooms a patient, an old man, got up from his bed and moved slowly towards me. I could see that he hadn’t long to live, but he came up to me and placed his right foot close to mine on the floor.”

“Frank!” I cried with surprise. He couldn’t answer as I knew, but he tried to smile, all the time keeping his foot close to mine.

My thoughts raced back more than thirty years—to the dark days of 1941, when I was a student in London. The scene was an air-raid shelter (防空洞), in which I and about a hundred other people slept every night. Among them were Mrs. West and her son Frank, who lived nearby. Sharing wartime problems, we got to know each other very well. Frank interested me because he was not normal (正常的). He had never been normal, ever since he was born. His mother told me he was 37 then, but he had less of a mind than a baby has. Mrs. West, then about 75, was a strong, able woman, as she had to be of course, because Frank depended on her completely. He needed all the attention of a baby.

One night a policeman came into our shelter and told Mrs. West that her house had been all destroyed. That wasn’t quite true, because the West went on living there for quite some time. But they certainly lost nearly everything they owned.

When that kind of thing happened, the rest of us helped the unlucky ones. So before we separated (分別) that morning, I stood beside Frank and measured my right foot against his.

They were about the same size. That night, then, I took a spare pair of shoes to the shelter for Frank. As soon as he saw me, he came running—and placed his right foot against mine. After that, he always greeted (問候) me in the same way.

1.How did Dr P know that the patient was Frank?

A.He was told that Frank was in the hospital.

B.He was invited to study Frank’s illness.

C.Frank greeted him in a special way.

D.Frank’s name was written on the door.

2.When and where did Dr. P first meet Frank?

A.At the R Hospital about ten days before.

B.In an air-raid shelter during the war.

C.In Mrs. West’s house in 1941.

D.In London after the West’s’ house was destroyed.

3.The unlucky ones mentioned by the doctor were __________.

A.those who suffered from illness.

B.those who were killed during the war

C.those who slept in the air-raid shelter.

D.those whose homes were destroyed in air-raids

4.Dr. P placed his foot against Fran’s before he left the shelter.

A.to find out if Frank could put on his shoes

B.to be friendly towards Frank

C.to see if Frank’s feet were normal

D.to teach Frank to greet people in a special way

5.Why did Dr P say that Mrs West had to be a strong, able woman?

A.She was over 75.

B.She needed all the attention of a baby.

C.She had to give care and thought to her son as to a baby.

D.She lost nearly everything in the war.
