I started thinking. Teachers are such an important part of a child’s life. A teacher’s support determines how safe a child feels in school. His inspiration determines how much risk a child will take in the classroom, his understanding determines how important a child feels in school and his love determines a child’s motivating and attitude toward education. And the effect a teacher has on a child doesn’t end when the school bell rings at the end of the day. Rather, those feelings developed in the classroom go home with the child and, in a large part, determine what sort of evening the child and the family have. The importance of a teacher to a child is fantastic and cannot be over-emphasized. All my children are fortunate to have remarkable teachers. Consequently, the three of them love going to school almost as much as they love using teacherisms. For example, one of Hannah’s favorite phrases in used when I mess up. She looks at me with understanding and says, “It’s okay to make mistakes, mama, because you’re only learning.” Rachael’s favorite phrase is used to start most of her jobs; with a glow in her eye, she says, “I’m just going to do my best, mama, because that’s all I can do!” But perhaps my favorite is Jacob’s response to his sisters when one of them says something he doesn’t like. With his hand on his heart he says, “Don’t say that because words can break my heart.” Like most parents, I hear teacherisms daily. And every time I hear one, my heart floods with gratefulness for the wonderful teachers who make my children feel safe, important, and successful in the classroom, and who are helping my children achieve emotional good health. There is much talk today how to measure a teacher’s worth. I think we need only look at the students. Children mirror teachers’ words and actions, and the content of those reflections shows teacher’s greatness. 1. Teachers are important to students in that . A. they equip them with book knowledge B. they help free the parents from worries C. they guarantee each family a happy evening D. they help keep them emotionally healthy 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 2 2. The three children’s examples are used to show that . A. they are lucky to have wonderful teachers B. they can eventually develop into good teachers C. they are sometimes mentally hurt by the teachers D. they have a successful performance in school 3. To his mother, what the boy says possibly sounds . A. ridiculous B. convincing C. humorous D. inspiring 4. The underlined word “teacherisms” probably refers to “ ”. A. how teachers normally deal with their students B. what teachers usually say to their students C. why teachers seem important to their students D. where teachers agree with their students 1、答案解析：答案为 D。 本题为细节题。由第二段 “Teachers are such an important part of a child’s life. A teacher’s support determines how safe a child feels in school. His inspiration determines how much risk a child will take in the classroom, his understanding determines how important a child feels in school and his love determines a child’s motivating and attitude toward education.” 可 知，老师对学生重要是因为老师帮助学生保持精神的健康。故答案为 D。 2、答案解析：答案为 A。本题为细节推理题。作者用自己三个孩子的例子是为了证明第三段的首句也就是该 段的主题句 “All my children are fortunate to have remarkable teachers.” 意为“我的孩子非常幸 运，（在学校里）有非常了不起的老师。A 选项意思与此符合，故答案为 A。 3、答案解析：答案为 C。本题为细节推理题。由第三段可知，作者前面提到的两个孩子是女孩，最后一个孩 子是男孩，由该段后面的内容 “But perhaps my favorite is Jacob’s response to his sisters when one of them says something he doesn’t like. With his hand on his heart he says, ‘Don’t say that because words can break my heart.’”可知，作者最喜欢的是他的儿子 Jacob 在姐姐们说了他不喜欢的话后所说的 话，他把一只手放在自己的胸口说：“别那样说哦，因为话能伤害我的心。” 从作者的用词“favorite”和 他儿子的言谈举止我们可以推断一个小孩讲那样的话显得非常幽默，故答案为 C。A 选项 “ridiculous” 意 为 “可笑的，荒谬的”； B 选项“convincing” 意为 “令人信服的”；D 选项 “inspiring” 意为 “令 人鼓舞的”，均不符合题意。 4、答案解析：答案为 B。本题为词义猜测题。由“teacherisms”所在的语境 “All my children are fortunate to have remarkable teachers. Consequently, the three of them love going to school almost as much as they love using teacherisms.” 可知，作者提到自己的孩子非常幸运，在学校里有非常了不起的老师， 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 3 结果，三个孩子都喜欢上学就像他们喜欢用 teacherisms 一样。接下来作者用三个孩子所说的话作为例子， 这些话显得非常成熟，它们明显来自老师平时在学校里对他们所说的，故答案为 B。 【2014 模拟题】 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出最佳选项。 It was a dangerous period for Nancy where her own fortunes were concerned. She had to rely on freelance(自由撰稿) work for six months after Quality Weekly Magazine folded. The regular salary cheque had always seemed very small, but now it- was like lost riches. She sent many articles to other magazines. Sometimes she struck it lucky and got a task. She once wrote a short article of a politician who appreciated her fair-minded approach and gave her some secret information. Her article was noticed by an editor in search of something sharp and fresh. And Nancy was getting a name for sharp comment. In this trade, she saw, you didn't need so much to be up to date with things as ahead of them, lying in wait for circumstance, ready to jump. Then one day she walked into the offices of National Daily. It had taken her article and its editor had looked kindly upon her. Having handed over a piece on the latest educational theories she'd written, she fell into conversation with a woman she had known 'before. She learned that one of the paper's regular columnists( 专栏作家) had quitted the job. So Nancy made the necessary phone call to apply for the job. And then, the phone call came. She'd have a weekly column with her photograph next to it. There'd be a salary cheque, and perhaps fame and success to follow that. She realized that the job presented her with a wonderful opportunity. Later, when she was alone. Nancy thought that her appointment had probably been a piece of good fortune. However, she refused to allow the word '"luck". She must have got the job because she was good and experienced. What she never knew was that in fact the editor had been at the point of offering the column to another writer, Alex. When he was about to pick up the phone to call Alex, the colleague he most disliked walked into his office, and spoke with satisfaction of the possibility of closer association with this old friend of his. As soon as the colleague was out of the room, he reached for the phone, and rang Nancy. 63．Why did Nancy spend a dangerous period?

In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives (观点) by creating worlds we could step into, take part. in. and live in. With this unshakable belief, I, at. fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with, or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other people’s writing can one discover what works, what doesn’t and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has. Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction (文学作品)．As a. law student, my reading is in fact limited to subject matter—the volume (量) of what I have 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 5 to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else. Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life. Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.

A．Tiredness is caused by signals from brain． B．Athletes feel tired when they use．up all their energy． C．The body uses 100% of the muscle fibres in exercise． D．Athletes become tired though lactic acid levels remain low． 68．Noakes has found out that . A．muscle fibres control athletes' movements B．lactic acid levels remain high in cycling test C．mental processes control the symptoms of tiredness D．different exercises use different amount of muscle fibres 69．It is likely that both theories accept that . A．lactic acid is produced in muscles during exercise B．the oxygen content in blood may rise after sports C．tiredness is a harmful by-product of exercise D．the energy in human bodies can be 70．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 8 A．The description of a new test． B．The explanation of the theory． C．The puzzling evidence of a study． D．The whole process of the research． 【参考答案】67—70、BCAC
