As a teaching student, I was sent on my first practice at a high school．During my practice, I realized high school hadn"t changed since I was there and still an awful place of Cliques（派系）．
Jess, a Year 8 student, always respected her classmates, the lack of respect she usually received in return．Kids constantly laughed at her behind her back．As a teacher, your instinct（本能） is to students like Jess, but you soon realize that there"s only so much you can actually do．
Tyson was at the end of the scale（等级）．A handsome Year 12 student, and always surrounded by mates, it was clear that he was a confident and popular young man．
When Jess asked to perform a solo act （独唱）in the school talent show, I to allow her to take the stage, fearing that she might face teasing．However, I knew that it would be unfair to say no on these grounds, so her name made it onto the list of ．
The day of the show, the whole school in the auditorium（礼堂）．Shortly after the acts began, it was Jess"s ．Smiling, she stepped onto stage．The music started and, to my horror, she the first line of the song．She became confused , sang in the wrong key and forgot her lyrics （歌词）．As she struggled through the song, kids whispered and laughed．
Jess looked and was about to give up when the sound of somebody clapping along to the of the song began to rise above the crowd．It was Tyson．
He was clapping proudly and urged his friends to join in and, surprisingly, they did．
Slowly, from Tyson"s group to the rest of Year 12, finally throughout the auditorium, the claps spread．
The smile on Jess"s face that day is one that I"ll never forget．Tyson changed my life by restoring my in the goodness of youth．

小题1:B副词辨析。A．激动地；B．失望地； C．感激地；D．好奇地。根据下文high school hadn"t changed since I was there and still an awful place of Cliques和文章最后changed my life by restoring my 47 in the goodness of youth可知此处作者看到学校这种状况很失望，所以答案选B。
小题2:A介词短语辨析。A．尽管； B．由于；C．此外 ；D．另外。根据下文可知Jess总是在背后遭到同学们嘲笑，和上句她总是尊重别人构成转折关系，所以选A。
小题3:D动词辨析。A．厌恶； B．称赞 ；C．原谅； D．保护。从情理可知老师对于那些处于劣势
的学生会稍微偏袒一些，不让他们受到伤害，所以D选项正确。
小题4:C形容词辨析。A．相同的；B．正确的 ；C．相反的；D．普通的。从上下文可知Jess和Tyson是截然不同的两种人，一种受人拥戴，一种受人嘲笑，所以C选项正确。
小题5:D动词辨析。A．同意； B．决定；C．急需；D ．犹豫。根据下文中fearing that she might face teasing．可知老师担心Jess会被人嘲笑，所以不知道该不该让她登台表演，由此推断D选项正确。
小题6:C名词辨析。A．教师；B．同学；C．演员；D．伙伴。从上文可知Jess要参加表演，所以她是个表演者，故正确答案是C。
小题7:B动词辨析。A．观看；B．集合，收集；C．行进 ；D．庆祝。由情理推断全校学生看演出应该在礼堂集合，如果选A选项，watch则没有宾语，所以答案选B。
小题8:A名词辨析。A．顺序 ；B．角色；C．步骤；D．选择。从下文Jess登上舞台可知，现在是轮到她表演了，固定短语 it is one’s turn to do“轮到某人做某事”，所以答案选A。
小题9:D动词辨析。A．经过 ；B．唱歌；C．记的；D．遗失，错过。从下文Jess发生的情况可以推测她是忘记了歌词，所以答案选D。
小题10:A形容词辨析。A．无望的； B．内疚的； C．厌烦的；D．无准备的。根据后句was about to give up可以推测在当时情况下她别无选择只能下台了，由此可知答案选A。
小题11:C名词辨析。A．声音；B．意思；C．节拍；D．铃音。根据情理可知在唱歌时人们击掌合拍，要和歌的节奏韵律一致，所以答案选C。
小题12:B名词辨析。A．触动 ；B．信心；C．力量； D．能量。根据故事的讲述可知Tyson的行为感动了老师，从而改变了他初来学校时的想法，对孩子们的行为不再失望，而是重新恢复了信心。 |

As the tables were not dry from the clear coating, the man told us to wait a few days before taking them to our dormitories. But I was just so and happy that I couldn’t wait. I dashed out like a , carrying my table, smiling from ear to ear.
When I reached the dormitory I placed the little table beside my bed. I was it when Mother Winters entered. She walked over to the table. Running her hand it, she noticed that it was still wet.
“Were you to bring this home?” she asked.
“No, ma’am,” I with my head down.

I hid the table in my closet and never it. A year later while cleaning up, I gave the table to Mother Henderson, my houseparent（宿管员）, thinking that she would it away.

When the swim season began, my 11-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, and I cut a deal. She would go to practice three times a week and try really hard, and I wouldn’t make her compete in the swim meets because on the day of a meet, she would be nervous all day. Her nerves rooted from the possibility that she would do something horribly wrong and let everyone down.
Recently, they had a T-shirt relay, which works like this: one person from each relay team puts on a T-shirt and a pair of socks, swims 50 meters, and gets out of the pool. She takes off the clothes and puts them on the next person, who then swims 50 meters. This continues until everyone on the team has completed a lap.
By the last leg, Elizabeth’s team had built up a moderate lead. Then it was Elizabeth’s turn to swim. She seemed to swim faster in the T-shirt and socks than when she wasn’t wearing them.
Approaching the halfway mark, she was still in the lead. Then one of Elizabeth’s socks fell off and was floating in the pool. “She has to get that sock on before the end of the race,” a swimming official told her team, “or you will be disqualified.”
Everybody on her team started screaming, “Elizabeth! Elizabeth! Stop! Get the sock!” But she couldn’t hear them. As she started her last 25 meters, a girl in Lane 2 was gaining on Elizabeth. It was time for desperate measures. A girl on my daughter’s team jumped in the pool, grabbed the sock, and swam after Elizabeth. She grabbed Elizabeth’s foot. “You have to put the sock on,” the girl screamed. Elizabeth continued swimming while her teammate put on the sock.
By now, the girl in Lane 2 was about to pass Elizabeth. With the sock finally on, Elizabeth swam her heart out for the last 15 meters. It was close, but Elizabeth beat the other girl to the wall for the victory.
On the ride home, she relived her moment of glory again and again. She told me that if the T-shirt relay was an Olympic event, her team would win the gold medal. I told her that in my professional opinion, she was absolutely right.
小题1:Elizabeth was nervous about swim meets because she _______.| A．was afraid of disappointing everyone | | B．didn’t expect to lose the swim match | | C．didn’t want to compete against other girls | | D．was worried about making errors in public |
小题2: From the passage, we know that _______.| A．socks contributed greatly to Elizabeth’s victory | | B．the match nearly drove Elizabeth desperate | | C．good luck finally fell on Elizabeth’s team | | D．Elizabeth’s team narrowly won the match |
小题3: It can be inferred that Elizabeth would _______.| A．swim faster in the T-shirt | | B．enjoy swim meets later on | | C．experience the moment again | | D．take part in an Olympic event |

My father was Chief engineer of a merchant ship, which was sunk in World War II. The book
Night of the U-boats told the story.
Memories
In September, 1940, my mother, sister and I went to Swansea, where my father’s ship was getting ready to sail. We brought him a family photograph to be kept with him at all times and keep him sail.
Then I remember my mother lying face down, sobbing. She had heard from a friend that the ship had been sunk by a torpedo(鱼雷).
I can remember the arrival of the telegram(电报),which in those days always brought bad news. My grand- mother opened it. It read, “Safe, Love Ted.”
My most vivid memory is being woken and brought down to sit on my father’s knee, his arm in a bandage.
He was judged unfit to return to sea and took a shore job in Glasgow for the rest of the war. For as long as I can remember, he had a weak heart. Mother said it was caused by the torpedoes. He said it was because of the cigarettes. Whichever, he died suddenly in his early 50s.
Ten years later I read Night of the U-boats and was able to complete the story.
Torpedo
One torpedo struck the ship. Father was in the engine room, where the third engineer was killed. He shut down the engines to slow the ship making it easier for it to be abandoned.
By the time he got on deck (甲板) he was alone. Every lifeboat was gone except one which had stuck firm. When he tried to cut it free it swung against the ship, injuring his hand and arm. He had no choice but to jump—still with the photograph in his pocket.
Three days later, he and other survivors were safe in Glasgow. All 23 with him signed the back of the photograph.
In my room is the book and the photograph. Often, glass in hand, I have wondered how I would have dealt with an explosion, a sinking ship, a jump into a vast ocean and a wait for rescue? Lest（以免）we forget, I have some more whisky and toast the heroes of the war.
小题1:We can infer(推断) that the mother and children went to Swansea ________.| A．to meet a friend | | B．to see the father off | | C．to take a family photo | | D．to enjoy the sailing of the ship |
小题2:What did the author learn about the father from the telegram?| A．he was still alive. | | B．His knee was broken. | | C．His ship had been sunk. | | D．He had arrived in Glasgow. |
小题3:What can we know about the author’s father after his ship was attacked?| A．He lost his arm | | B．He repaired the engines. | | C．He managed to take a lifeboat. | | D．He was the last to leave the ship. |
小题4:What is the passage mainly about?| A．A group of forgotten heroes | | B．A book describing a terrifying battle. | | C．A ship engineer’s wartime experience. | | D．A merchant’s memories of a sea rescue. |
