‎2019届二轮复习阅读理解专题记叙文类10篇专题训练之二十 ‎[一]‎ Today, in many high schools, teaching is now a technical miracle of computer labs, digital cameras, DVD players and laptops. Teachers can e-mail parents, post messages for students on online bulletin(公告，告示) boards, and take attendance with a quick movement of a mouse.‎ Even though we are now living in the digital age, the basic and most important element of education has not changed. Most students still need that one-on-one, teacher-student relationship to learn and to succeed. Teenagers need instruction in English, math or history, but they also want personal advice and encouragement. Kids talk with me about their families, their weekend plans, their favorite TV shows and their relationship problems. In my English and journalism classes, we talk about Shakespeare and persuasive(富有哲理的) essays, but we also discuss college basketball, the war in Iraq and career choices. Students show me pictures of their rebuilt cars, their family vacations, and their newborn baby brothers. This personal connection is the necessary link between teachers and students that no amount of technology can improve upon or replace. ‎ A few years ago I had a student in sophomore English who was struggling with my class and with school in general. Although he was a humorous young man who liked to joke around, I knew his family life was far from ideal. Whenever I approached him about missing homework or low test grades, he always had the same reply, “It doesn't matter because I'm quitting school anyway.” Even though he always said this in a half-teasing way, I knew he needed to hear my different opinion and my “value of a high school education” lecture. He needed to hear this speech from me. After he left my class, he struggled through the next two years of school. But, he did finally graduate because we kept telling him to hang in there. We’d cared about him finishing school. ‎ Recently, I saw this former student working at a local Italian restaurant. I told him again how proud I was of him. He said that he was hoping to go back to school to become a certified electrician. I encouraged him to get that training. ‎ Students rely on compassionate teachers to guide, to tutor, to listen, to laugh and to cry with them. Teachers provide the most important link in the educational process—the human one. ‎ ‎63. The first paragraph mainly talks about _____________.‎ ‎ A. the variety of modern teaching methods.‎ ‎ B. the wide use of modern technology in education ‎ ‎ C. the importance of teacher-parent relationship.‎ ‎ D. the importance of using modern technology.‎ 64. The underlined word “ compassionate” in Para 5 means ____________.‎ ‎ A. ambitious B. knowledgeable C. sympathetic D. Generous ‎65. According to the text, the most important element in education is _________.‎ ‎ A. teachers’ good instruction B. advanced technology ‎ C. teachers’ encouragement D. personal connection ‎66. The author states his view of education by __________.‎ ‎ A. example B. description C. figure D. comparison ‎ 参考答案： 63-66 BCDA ‎ ‎[二]‎ Feeling exhausted and hopeless, I began walking to my car. Every step seemed tiring, and every step was another to survive. As I looked up into the sky I thought about how my grandmother had left me, and my anger began to return. I was annoyed by the loss, and my belief in God was beginning to fade. I couldn’t understand why these things happened. So as I stood in a public parking lot a million questions formed in my mind. Why did this happen to me? Aren’t we supposed to get signs from the people that pass on? Why did I not feel her presence anymore? Is there a heaven?‎ ‎ Suddenly, a woman driving right by my side rolled down her window and distracted my unanswered thoughts. “Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me,” she said loudly. Thinking she was going to ask for my parking spot, I simply pointed to my car. The thought of having to say where my car was seemed like too much to bear. “No, excuse me,” she said again.‎ ‎ At this point, I felt I had no choice but to see what this annoying lady wanted. As I got closer, I was startled—was this my grandmother’s nurse, Adu, who lived with her during her final months? I soon realized that she wasn’t, although the resemblance was unusual. Then, I realized that this Adu was searching for something in her bag. Surprisingly, I was overcome by a sense of relief that led me to be patient the entire time the lady was searching. Others would be nervous by a stranger reaching in their bag, but I wasn’t. She finally reached to the very bottom of her bag and handed me a three-page booklet. “It looks like you need this,” she said calmly with a warm smile on her face.‎ ‎ I looked down at the mysterious and obviously used booklet and on the front cover in big bold letters read “What Hope for Dead Loved Ones?”‎ ‎ It took me only a few seconds to comprehend the exchange with this woman, but by the time I looked up, she was gone.‎ ‎ I walked slowly into my car holding the tiny little book that was given to me with fear that it would fly away in the wind. I didn’t know what ‎ it was exactly, but I knew that if my grandmother had anything to do with that I didn’t want to let it go.‎ ‎ I felt a sense of relaxation as I opened the first page. It explained how people pass on, but their spirit remains with us. This was the first time since my grandma had passed that I felt her with me, just like I had wanted. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but I did know that I finally felt happiness from the surprising change in events.‎ ‎ I couldn’t, and still can’t, believe what had happened to me on that day. I don’t remember the specific details that you usually hear about like what the person was wearing, the time of day, or even the weather, but it doesn’t matter. It was a random day in November when my life turned back around and I began to feel hope again. It was real. It was a miracle. And, I’ll remember it for the rest of my life.‎ ‎51. The author refused to say anything to the woman but just pointed to her own car at first mainly because ______.‎ ‎ A. the author did not know the woman ‎ B. the woman interrupted the author’s thoughts ‎ C. the author thought she wanted to use the vacant parking space ‎ D. the author was too weak to say anything ‎52. What can we learn about the author’s grandmother?‎ ‎ A. She often made the author angry. B. She left nothing to the author.‎ ‎ C. She was kind to the author. D. She lost faith in God.‎ ‎53. What can be inferred from the passage?‎ ‎ A. The author and the woman became good friends later.‎ ‎ B. The woman turned out to be the author’s grandmother’s nurse.‎ ‎ C. The author knows the specific details about this experience.‎ ‎ D. The author was very grateful to the unknown woman.‎ ‎54. What would be the best title for the passage?‎ A. Miracle at the Parking Lot B. What Hope for Dead Loved Ones?‎ C. True Love for My Grandmother D. Adu, My Grandmother’s Nurse 参考答案：51-55 CCDA ‎[三]‎ When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation. I suggested that they should stay at “bed and breakfast” houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.‎ ‎ “We didn't stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were on holiday.” I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English,‎ ‎ and they thought “VACANCIES” meant “holidays”, because the Spanish word for “holidays” is said “vacaciones”. So they did not go to the house where the sign outside said “VACANCIES”, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to the houses where the sign said “NO VACANCIES”, because they thought this meant people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels.‎ ‎ We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word “DIVERSION” means “fun”. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word “DIVERSION” on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hole.‎ ‎ English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris when someone offered me some more coffee, I said “Thank you” in French, I meant that I would like some more, however to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that “Thank you” in French means “No, Thank you”.‎ ‎53. The author suggested that they stay at “bed and breakfast” because _______. ‎ A. it would be convenient for them to have dinners and live B. it would be much cheaper than staying in hotels C. they would be able to practice their English in the house D. there would be no problem about finding accommodation there ‎54.“NO VACANCIES” in English means _______. ‎ A. no free rooms B. free rooms C. not away on holiday D. they don't live ‎55. If you see road sign that says “Diversion” in England, you will _______. ‎ A. take the road and you will be excited B. have a lot of fun and enjoy yourself C. find that the road is blocked by crowds of people D. have to take a different road ‎56. I was surprised when the coffee pot was taken away because I ______.‎ A. was never misunderstood B. meant that I didn’t want any more coffee C. was expecting another cup of coffee  D. hadn’t finished drinking my coffee 参考答案：53-56CADC ‎[四]‎ Katie was in big trouble. She was such a sweet kid; a thirdgrade teacher always dreamed of having a classroom filled with Katies; she has never had a discipline(纪律) problem. I just couldn't imagine why she had made her parents so angry.‎ It seemed that Katie had been running up sizable charges in the lunch room. Her parents explained that Katie brought a great homemade lunch each day, and there was no reason for her to buy school lunch. They assumed a sitdown with Katie would solve the problem, but failed. So they asked me to help them get to the bottom of this situation.‎ So the next day, I asked Katie to my office.“Why are you charging lunches, Katie? What happened to your homemade lunch？” I asked. “I lose it，”she responded. I leaned back in my chair and said, “I don't believe you, Katie.” She didn't care.“Is someone stealing your lunch, Katie？” I took a new track. “No. I just lose it.” she said. Well, there was nothing else I could do.‎ The problem was still unsolved the next week when I noticed a boy who was new to the school sitting alone at a lunch table. He always looked sad. I thought I would go and sit with him for a while. As I walked towards him, I noticed the lunch bag on the table. The name on the bag said “ Katie ” .‎ Now I understood and I talked to Katie. It seemed that the new boy never brought a lunch, and he wouldn't go to the lunch line for a free lunch. He had told Katie his secret and asked her not to tell anyone that his parents wanted him to get a free lunch at school. Katie asked me not to tell her parents, but I drove to her house that evening after I was sure that she was in bed. I had never seen parents so proud of their child. Katie didn't care that her parents and teacher were disappointed in her. But she cared about a little boy who was hungry and scared.‎ Katie still buys lunch every day at school. And every day, as she heads out of the door, her mom hands her a delicious homemade lunch.‎ ‎49. At first, what did the author think of Katie?‎ A．She performed well at school.

Everyone knows about such students．We see them frequently in TV situation comedies and in movies like Revenge of the Nerds．They get high grades, all right, but only by becoming dull laborers, their noses always stuck in a book．They are not good at social communication and look clumsy while doing sports．‎ Then, how do we account for Domenica Roman or Paul Melendres?‎ Roman is on the tennis team at Fairmont Senior High School．She also sings in the choral group, serves on the student council and is a member of the mathematics society．For two years she has maintained A's in every subject．Melendres, a freshman at the University of New Mexico, was student-body president at Valley High School in Albuquerque．He played soccer and basketball well, exhibited at the science fair, and meanwhile worked as a reporter on a local television station．Being a speech giver at the graduation ceremony, he achieved straight A's in his regular classes, plus bonus points for A's in two college-level courses．‎ How do super-achievers like Roman and Melendres do it? Brains aren't the only answer．"Top grades don't always go to the brightest students, " declares Herbert Walberg, a professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, who has conducted major studies on super-achieving students．"Knowing how to make the most of your innate（天生的） abilities counts for more．Much more．"‎ In fact, Walberg says, students with high IQ sometimes don't do as well as classmates with lower IQ．For them, learning comes too easily and they never find out how to get down．‎ Hard work isn't me whole story, either．"It's not how long you sit there with the books open," said one of the many-A students we interviewed．"It's what you do while you're sitting．"Indeed, some of these students actually put in fewer hours of homework time than their lower-scoring classmates．‎ ‎ The kids at the top of the class get （here by mastering a few basic ‎ techniques that others can readily learn．‎ ‎23．The underlined word "nerds" can probably refer to_____．‎ ‎ A．dull bookworms lacking sports and social skills ‎ B．successful top students popular with their peers ‎ C．students with certain learning difficulties ‎ D．born leaders crazy about social activities ‎24．Some students become super-achievers mainly because_____．‎ ‎ A．they are born cleverer than others ‎ B．they work longer hours at study ．．‎ ‎ C．they make mil use of their abilities ‎ D．they know the shortcut to success ‎25．What will be talked about after the last paragraph?‎ ‎ A．The interviews with more students． B．The role IQ plays in learning well．‎ ‎ C．The techniques to be better learners． D．The achievements top students make．‎ ‎26．What can we infer from the passage?‎ ‎ A．IQ is more important than hard work in study．‎ ‎ B．The brightest students can never get low grades．‎ ‎ C．Top students certainly achieve all-around developments.‎ ‎ D．Students with average IQ can become super-achievers．‎ 参考答案：23—26. ACC D ‎ ‎[六]‎ Being a senior student, I always think of my future．To be exact, the thoughts of the future have kept me up countless nights and made me worry enough to do poorly on more than one test. Because of this, words of wisdom are a source of comfort. Steve Jobs gave a speech to Stanford’s graduating class in 2005 and his words resound repeatedly in my mind whenever I think, about my future.‎ It was not always like that, though．It started when I became a junior, when college cams into view．It's the first big step to making your life your own．So when Jobs discussed his life as a student, some fears were eased．He also felt the need to attend college to make something of himself．He faced what many are extremely afraid of: uncertainty．His lack of understanding paused him lo slop attending college and focus on what he felt was important．His story had a happy ending, of course, since he certainly turned out well．‎ This does not mean that students should not attend college, but rather that they should not worry so much．You'll get where you need to go, even if your path is a bit more winding（蜿蜒的） than you'd like．‎ Jobs talked about the hardships in his work．His love of his work helped him carry on and he got where he was meant to be, which restates the point: don’t panic.‎ One particular part of his speech stayed with me．Steve Jobs quoted the saying "Stay hungry, stay foolish" and it has become my motto．Staying foolish is realizing that you are still a fool, no matter how much you have learned or experienced．There is always more to explore．Staying hungry is wanting to find those things about which you are still uneducated．‎ Steve Jobs's level of success is attainable, and I aim to prove that．With the will power to go into the world living every day like it and allowing the future to take care of itself, I will do great things．In the last moments of my Site, D! be proud of what I have done and hope to have all the wisdom a person could wish for．‎ ‎51．The author felt worried when . ‎ ‎ A．he had to take tests at school B．he thought about his future ‎ C．he had lots of sleepless nights D．he searched for words of wisdom ‎52．What did the author gain from Jobs’s speech?‎ ‎ A．Courage to drop out of school.

I was sent to some of the city's worst neighborhoods to ask door-to-door. Even though I was often struggling around after dark in bad areas searching for some place for the night, I was thankful for the work.‎ It was a hard job because people didn't like a stranger knocking on their door, especially a boy trying to get them to buy something. One time, a man shut his door heavily in my face and shouted, "I don't want any paper." I forced myself to knock again and was able to tell him how great the paper ‎ was. I ended up selling him a subscription. I was soon among the top sellers and, like other successful salesmen, was asked to train newcomers. ‎ Around this time I started playing some musical instruments. Before long I was playing in a band（乐队） at some and other events. When I turned 18, I fixed my attention on becoming a professional musician. I never give up this dream. I'm sure my perseverance(毅力) came from what I learned knocking on strangers' doors. ‎ That experience helped me in many ways. Early in my music job I was locked in a lawful quarrel with a former manager. He forced me to give in, but I refused. ‎ Having all those doors closed in my face as a boy gave me the strength to stand up to this frightening person. Except this time there was one difference: I was the one saying no. And I won. ‎ ‎1. Which of the following statements is untrue according to paragraph 1 ?‎ ‎ A.

The author wanted to .‎ ‎ A. devote his life to music.‎ ‎ B. knock on strangers’ doors.‎ ‎ C. play some musical instruments very well.‎ ‎ D. be the head of a famous band.‎ ‎4. Why was he not afraid of the manager?‎ ‎ A. Because he thought he was stronger than the manager.‎ ‎ B. Because he used to knock strangers’ doors.‎ ‎ C. Because he became brave while working.‎ ‎ D. Because the manager was much older than he.‎ 参考答案：‎ ‎1. D 细节理解题。第一段末句中有 “I was thankful for the work”可证实D项错误。其余各项均与原文相符。‎ ‎2. D 细节理解题。第二段末句中的 “I was soon among the top sellers”可证实D项。‎ ‎3. A 细节理解题。第三段第三句中有 “I fixed my attention on becoming a professional musician.”,意为“致力当一名职业音乐人”。‎ ‎4.

My dad, with some help from my sister who had a family and also worked, and a part-time home helper, was taking care of her. Both were in their late 70's. I lived in Virginia and my job allowed me flexible（灵活的） time so I came home every other weekend for three days, as well as vacation time and holidays. My dad, who was never sick a day in his life, became ill in the beginning of 2005. Because we thought he had the flu, I came home expecting to be there only a week or two. As it turned out, I never returned to my job, having to call my boss and tell her that I was offering my retirement papers. For six months dad went back and forth between hospital and nursing home before he died. All he kept saying from the time he got sick was, "I'm tired. I can't do this anymore. I don't want to be here anymore." He lost the will to go on.‎ The result for me is that I retired（退休） six years earlier than I planned, and for almost one year I was paying $‎900 a month rent on an apartment in Virginia because I didn't have more than one or two days at a time to go down there to pack my things.‎ I did not wait to make the decision I made. If I had to do it over again, I would make the same decision. I consider it an honor and advantage to have cared for my father and be caring for my mom. She has entered the late stage of the disease but she is at home with me and I will keep her here until either she needs more care than can be provided at home or I can no longer care for her.‎ This was my own personal decision and everyone must do what is right for them. Fortunately, I am not married so my decision only affected me. People should be at least thinking about "what if" long before it becomes a necessity.‎ I am not looking for a pat on the back and I am not doing it out of a "sense of duty". I am doing what I am doing out of LOVE for my parents.‎ ‎1. Which is untrue about the author’s father?‎ ‎ A. He was never sick a day in his life ‎ B. He became ill nine years after the author’s mother had Alzheimer’s Disease.‎ ‎ C. He was about seventy-eight years old.‎ ‎ D. He took care of the author’s mother until 2005.‎ ‎2. According to the author’s plan, he should retire in .‎ ‎ A. 1996 B. ‎2002 C. 2005 D. 2011‎ ‎3. If the author had to do it once again, why would he make the same decision?‎ ‎ A. Because the author had flexible time to care for his parents.‎ ‎ B. Because the author see it an honor.‎ ‎ C. Because his sister did not want to look after them any more.‎ ‎ D. Because he retired six years earlier than he planned.‎ ‎4. The passage mainly tells us that .‎ ‎ A. the author’s dad died after he was ill for six months.‎ ‎ B. the author’s mother was less healthy than his father.‎ ‎ C. he had to make decision by himself for he was not married.‎ ‎ D. he was willing to take care of his parents out of love for them.‎ 参考答案：‎ ‎1. A 细节理解题。A项只是第一段第五句中的一个从句，因此，不能当作结论。‎ ‎2. D 数字推算题。第二段第一句中说“提前六年”退休，而其父亲2005年开始的病才导致了这个决定。‎ ‎3. B 细节理解题。从第三段第三句中可以看出。‎ ‎4. D 主旨大意题。根据整个文章内容可以判断出来，而前三项只是文章中的三个分述点。‎ ‎[九]‎ The first day my new teacher walked into our school in Spanish Harlem, I burst out laughing. Ron Clark was this young white guy from North Carolina who talked with a funny Southern accent（口音）. He said he used to be a singing waiter. I thought, Who is this guy? He's a complete joke. ‎ It was 1999 and I was in the fifth grade at New York City's P.S. 83. I guessed I'd spend most of the year in the headmaster's office. I'd always been a troublemaker. I'd get shouted at, and then the teachers would give up on me. I thought that's what would happen with Ron Clark. ‎ I was wrong. That first week, I kept laughing at him. He pulled me out to the hallway and said I'd better shape up（表现好）. "Tamara," he said, "you're a smart kid. You can do better." ‎ He told me I was a natural leader and that I'd go far in life if I started studying hard. I was mad at first, but then something happened: I began to respect him. There were 29 students in our class, and it didn't take long for us to realize that Ron Clark was no ordinary teacher. ‎ Like most teachers, he had lots of rules: Treat each other like family. Don't cut in line. But the real difference was how concerned he was. Mr. Clark ate with us in the lunchroom instead of going to the teachers' day-room. At first, my friends and I were thinking, What is he doing? ‎ He asked us what was going on in our lives. Between classes, he came outside with us, and we taught him how to jump rope. When it snowed, Mr. Clark, who'd never seen snow before, threw us with snowballs, and we threw him back. ‎ Before coming to P.S. 83, he taught at Snowden Elementary in his hometown, Belhaven, North Carolina. His parents were DJs（流行音乐节目主持人） at dance clubs, so he grew up with music and energy. He wanted a life of adventure, he told me, but his mom encouraged him to ask for a position at Snowden when one of the teachers passed away. Mr. Clark ended up loving ‎ it. He came to Harlem because he'd seen a TV show about our troubled schools and the lack of qualified teachers. He wanted a challenge. Boy, did he get one.‎ ‎1. The reason why I burst out laughing the first day my new teacher walked into our school was that .‎ ‎ A. he’s a joke.‎ ‎ B. Ron Clark came from North Carolina but talked with a funny Southern accent.‎ ‎ C. he used to be a singing waiter.‎ ‎ D. he walked into our school by mistake.‎ ‎2. The reason for saying “I was wrong” was that .‎ ‎ A. she kept laughing at him that first week.‎ ‎ B. she’d been a troublemaker.‎ ‎ C. she got shouted at.‎ ‎ D. he was a teacher quite different from others.‎ ‎3. Mr. Clark was different from other teachers in that .‎ ‎ A. he asked the students to treat others like family.‎ ‎ B. he asked the students to wait in line.‎ ‎ C. he had lunch with the students.‎ ‎ D. he was strict with the students.‎ ‎4. Which is untrue about Mr. Clark?‎ ‎ A. He had not seen snow before.‎ ‎ B. He did not teach before coming to Harlem.‎ ‎ C. He did not know how to jump rope.‎ ‎ D. He thought he was a qualified teacher.‎ ‎5. Ron Clark went to teach at Snowden because .‎ ‎ A. the school there was troubled.‎ ‎ B. there were no qualified teachers there.‎ ‎ C. he could live a life of adventure there.‎ ‎ D. a teacher there died.‎ 参考答案：‎ ‎1. B. 细节题。第一段第二句中有---from North Carolina who talked with a funny Southern accent为证。‎ ‎2. D. 细节题。第四段最后一句中有---it didn’t take long for us to realize that Ron Clark was no ordinary teacher.可知D项正确。‎ ‎3. C. 细节题。从第五段Mr. Clark ate with us in the lunchroom instead of going to the teachers’ day-room中可以看出。‎ ‎4. B. 细节题。从最后一段第一句话中可以看出，Clark之前曾任教于家乡的Snowden Elementary.‎ ‎5. D. 细节题。最后一段中有---but his mom encouraged him---when one of the teachers passed away.‎ ‎[十]‎ When I met him, I had a lot of anger inside of me. I've lived my whole life in Spanish Harlem with my mom, grandmother and little sister, Ivy. I never had a father, but in my neighborhood that's not unusual. You have to watch yourself. There are shoot-ups all the time. I know kids who have been shot or beaten up. I have friends who ended up in jail（监狱） or pregnant（怀孕的）. I could have ended up that way, too, but Mr. Clark and my mom wouldn't let that happen. ‎ Mr. Clark worked long hours, making sure I did my work. My grades（成绩） rose. In fact, our whole fifth-grade class's scores（分数） rose in math and reading. In sixth grade, I entered the gifted program（尖子生班）, and Mr. Clark was the teacher. I felt so lucky to have him for a second year! ‎ None of us were surprised when Mr. Clark was selected as Disney's 2000 Teacher of the Year. He got donations（捐赠） to fly all 37 of us out to Disneyland in California and put us up at the Hilton. We were there for three days. People were surprised, but Mr. Clark really cared about us. There's no way I can imagine most teachers doing that. No way. But he saw something in us that nobody else saw. ‎ On graduation day, there were a lot of tears. We didn't want his class to end. Was I ever surprised when Mr. Clark showed up at my new junior high the first week of school, just to say hello. He's been a constant(常来常往之人) in our lives. In 2001, he moved to Atlanta, but he always kept in touch. He started giving speeches about education, and wrote a bestselling book based on his classroom rules, The Essential 55. ‎ In 2003, Mr. Clark took some of us on a trip to South Africa to send school supplies and visit orphanages（孤儿院）. It was the most amazing experience of my life. It's now my dream to one day start a group of women's clubs, helping people from all backgrounds. ‎ I'm about to become a senior at Harlem Renaissance High School. My grades are beautiful now, and I'm hoping to go to law school eventually. This fall, Mr. Clark will be opening the Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta, a school for kids who have potential（潜力） but aren't reaching it. Kids who are like I was -- until Mr. Clark came along.‎ ‎1.

Now and then there are shoot-ups.‎ ‎2. The reason why there were a lot of tears on graduation day was that .‎ ‎ A. there were many girls in the class.‎ ‎ B. Mr. Clark went without saying good-bye.‎ ‎ C. Mr. Clark were going to get married.‎ ‎ D. the pupils didn’t want his class to stop.‎ ‎3. The underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refers to .‎ ‎ A. Mr. Clark was selected as Disney’s 2000 Teacher of the Year.‎ ‎ B. Mr. Clark put us up at the Hilton.‎ ‎ C.
