Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published. I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. “Wait a minute，” someone might say，“are you talking about Mr. Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar？”‎ The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two weeks to prepare,‎ 11‎ ‎ a period I spent searching for briefcase (公文包) and standing before my fulllength mirror, repeating the words，“Hello, class. I'm Mr. Davis.” Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice. Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr. Davis was there. I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12yearold boy.‎ I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves. I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students along a long table. I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.‎ ‎“All right then，” I said. “Okay, here we go.” Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment. I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I had imagined that I would sit at the edge of the desk, overlooking a forests of hands. Every student would yell. “Calm down, you'll all get your turn. One at a time, one at a time！”‎ A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other opinions, I inspected the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.‎ 文章大意：本文是一篇记叙文。毕业一年后，作者得到了一份教授写作课程的工作。文章重点介绍了作者教学过程中难忘的第一堂课。‎ ‎1．The author took the job to teach writing because ________.‎ A．he wanted to be respected B．he had written some stories C．he wanted to please his father D．he had dreamed of being a teacher 答案：A　细节理解题。根据第一段第三至五句“... as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis... or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar？”可知，作者接受这份工作是希望得到别人的尊重。故A项正确。‎ ‎2．What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 2?‎ A．He would be aggressive in his first class.‎ B．He was wellprepared for his first class.‎ C．He got nervous upon the arrival of his first class.‎ D．He waited long for the arrival of his first class.‎ 答案：C　细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第二句“But when the day eventually came, my nerves 11‎ ‎ kicked in and the true Mr. Davis was there.”可知，等第一节课真正到来时，作者感到十分紧张。故C项正确。‎ ‎3．Before he started his class, the author asked the students to ________.‎ A．write down their suggestions on the paper cards B．cut maple leaves out of the construction paper C．cut some cards out of the construction paper D．write down their names on the paper cards 答案：D　细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“... and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.”可知，D项正确。‎ D ‎(2015·广西柳州3月模拟)‎ It is 7 am and the alarm is going off.You know you have to be out of bed to catch the bus.But the urge to bury yourself in the bed is ever so strong.Sounds familiar? Why is it that teens find it difficult to get themselves out of bed in time every morning or stay sharp and focused during the first couple of hours of school?‎ ‎ During adolescence，the body goes through many changes and these include a shift in sleep patterns.Researchers from MIT have been tracking the body’s need for sleep in teenagers.They found that though adolescents need as much as 9.5 hours of sleep a day，they get to bed later and later with each passing year.In fact，the sleep cycle shifts later by as much as 12 to 18 minutes each year between the ages of 10 and 20 ! So by the time a 10yearold who sleeps at 8 pm grows to be 17 or 18，his body naturally wants to stay up till 10：30 pm or 11 pm.‎ According to researchers，this is because of a hormone called melatonin (褪黑激素) that is secreted (分泌) by the pineal gland—a tiny structure deep inside the brain.Melatonin regulates the body’s natural daynight rhythms.It causes a person to become sleepy by lowering his body’s core temperature.In teens，melatonin is secreted much later in the evening and continues to increase throughout the night.This makes it difficult for teens to fall asleep earlier as they did in their younger 11‎ ‎ years.Likewise，the effect of melatonin continues until much later in the morning，making it hard for them to wake up early.‎ ‎ A study found that at least one in four teens is tired and falls asleep in school at least once a week.During sleep，important body functions and brain activities happen.So how can teenagers get their sleep enough? The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that middle and high schools should start later—not before 8：30 am.This should give teens some more time to sleep at night.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。早睡才能早起，晚睡会导致早上赖床，睡觉周期的改变实际上受制于大脑中一种被称为褪黑激素的荷尔蒙。‎ ‎1．From Paragraph 2，we can learn that if you sleep late，the next day you should ________.‎ A．stay sharp B．skip breakfast C．get up late D．stay up late 解析：选C。细节理解题。文章第一段提到为什么孩子们早上不愿起床，第二段紧接着分析原因，说明孩子们睡觉晚是他们早上赖床的原因，即C项正确。‎ ‎2．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to?‎ A．The students want to stay up.‎ B．The shifts of the sleep cycle.‎ C．The pineal gland secretes melatonin.‎ D．The adolescents sleep late.‎ 解析：选B。代词指代题。第二段提到了睡觉周期的改变，第三段紧接着解释造成这一现象的原因，因此this指睡觉周期的改变，即B项正确。‎ ‎3．The teens go to sleep later than before because ________.‎ A．melatonin is secreted much later B．melatonin regulates the sleep time C．they sleep a lot in the daytime 11‎ D．they need to finish their homework 解析：选A。细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“In teens，melatonin is secreted much later in the evening and continues to increase throughout the night.”可知，孩子们睡觉晚是由褪黑激素分泌晚造成的，即A项正确。‎ ‎4．According to AAP’s recommendation，middle and high schools should ________.‎ ‎ A．let teens sleep in the day ‎ B．let the students be active ‎ C．delay the start time ‎ D．start later at 8 am 解析：选C。细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的倒数第二句话可知，AAP建议初中和高中上午上课的时间应该推迟，即C项正确。‎ E Research done at the University of California-Irvine shows that young children taking music lessons have a greater ability to learn math and science.Coordination and concentration are also improved.Mastering a song or technique allows children to feel a sense of achievement and a desire to move on to the next challenge.These feelings of pride can also improve their confidence in the classroom.‎ The lazy days of summer are a great time to introduce and expose your child to all sorts of music.‎ ‎1.Introduce babies to music by singing lullabies(摇篮曲) to them.‎ ‎2.Help younger children relate to music by asking about the sounds they hear.Does that drum(鼓)sound happy or sad?Would an elephant sound like that high flute(长笛),or that deep bassoon(低音管)?‎ ‎3.Look into a wide variety of musical toys and records of songs that are available for children.‎ ‎4.Take your family to performances at local schools or universities.‎ 11‎ ‎5.If you and your child decide on music lessons,look for a teacher who can get along well with children.‎ ‎6.Talk to other parents whose children take lessons for suggestions,or consult with the music teacher at your child’s school.Keep your child’s personality in mind,too.An active child might enjoy singing with a choir(合唱队).‎ ‎7.If you want to learn to play the piano yourself,you’d better take some lessons.Show your child that it takes time and practice to master a new skill.Just make sure not to turn this into a competition.‎ ‎8.Encourage your child by asking her/him to play for you.‎ ‎9.Never use music practice as punishment!‎ ‎1.What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?‎ A.How children learn math and science.‎ B.Music lessons will do good to children.‎ C.Mastering a song is important for children.‎ D.How to improve children’s confidence.‎ 答案:B 解析:段落大意题。本段主要讲的是音乐给孩子带来的好处,因此选项B合适。‎ ‎2.Which of the following ways is NOT mentioned?‎ A.Host a music playing competition.‎ B.Ask about the sounds children hear.‎ C.Take the whole family to performances.‎ D.Find a variety of songs available for children.‎ 答案:A 解析:细节理解题。B、C、D三项在文中的第2、3、4点都有所提及,A项文中没有提及。‎ ‎3.What should parents do to encourage their children to learn music?‎ A.Choose happy music for them.‎ B.Select a teacher at their school for them.‎ C.Punish them if they don’t learn music well.‎ D.Choose lessons or activities according to their personalities.‎ 答案:D 11‎ 解析:细节理解题。根据文中的第6点可知家长要根据孩子的性格为其挑选合适的接触音乐的方式。‎ ‎4.The passage is written to 　　　. ‎ A.show the importance of music B.teach us how to choose a music lesson C.give suggestions on how to play the piano D.teach parents how to expose children to music 答案:D 解析:写作意图题。全文都在讲父母如何引导孩子走近音乐,因此选D项。‎ 11‎
