With an unlimited future ahead of her, Sabur directed her first career choice to teaching. "I really enjoy teaching," she said. She was three days short of her 19th birthday in February, 2008, when she was hired to become a professor at Konkuk University in Seoul, Korea. This distinction made her the youngest college professor in history, according to the Guinness" Book of Worm Records, beating the previous record held by Colin Maclaurin, a student of Isaac Newton, in 1717.
Although she doesn"t start until next month, Sabur has taken up teaching math and physics courses at Southern University in New Orleans. Sabur is old enough to teach in the city, but not to join her fellow professors in a bar after work. In Korea, where the drinking age is 20, she might have more luck. In traditional Korean culture, children are considered to be 1 year old-when they are born, and add a year to their age every New Year instead of their actual birthday, so in Korea Sabur is considered 20.
On top of her unprecedented (空前的) academic achievements, Sabur has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do (跆拳道黑带). She is also a talented clarinet (竖笛) player who has performed with musicians like Lang Lang and Smash Mouth. So is there anything Sabur can"t do?
小题1:We can learn from the passage that Sabur is ________.
| A．America"s youngest bachelor of science |
| B．Drexel University"s youngest student |
| C．the world"syoungest college professor |
| D．the world"s youngest female teacher |
| A．fourteen | B．eighteen | C．nineteen | D．twenty |
| A．Sabur might be permitted to drink in a Korean bar. |
| B．Sabur would be allowed to attend parties in Korea. |
| C．Sabur is old enough to teach at Konkuk University. |
| D．Sabur is lucky to be hired by Konkuk University. |
| A．Alia Sabur is the youngest female doctor from Stony Brook University. |
| B．Colin Maclaurin has once been the youngest college professor in the world. |
| C．In Korea, Alia Sabur is not allowed to drink for she is still underage. |
| D．Alia Sabur knows anything but Tae Kwon Do. |
答案
小题1:C
小题2:B
小题3:A
小题4:B
解析
试题分析：
小题1:C根据文章第二段第四句his distinction made her the youngest college professor in history, according to the Guinness" Book of Worm Records可得出答案
小题2:B 跟据She was three days short of her 19th birthday in February, 2008, when she was hired to become a professor可得知她被聘为教授时还不到19岁，所以实际年龄18岁
小题3:A从第三段第二，三，四句可以看出韩国规定的可以喝酒的年龄是20岁，Sabur实际年龄不到20岁，本来是不能喝酒，但按照韩国的文化，小孩生下来就算1岁，这样算的话，Sabur就是20岁，到了可喝酒的年龄，所以说是更幸运。
小题4:根据第二段最后一句可知， Sabur成为历史上最年轻的大学教授，击败了Colin Maclaurin，先前的吉尼斯纪录得主，因此可以说明 Colin Maclaurin曾经是史上最年轻的大学教授。
点评：本文介绍了一个世界上最年轻的大学教授Sabur的生平及他的天才传奇故事。

The men talked for hours, of their wives, families, their homes and their jobs. And every afternoon when Alan, in the bed next to the window, could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Lovers walked arm in arm among flowers. Trees and skyline could be seen in the distance. As he described all this, Henry, on the other side of the room, would close his eyes and imagine the scene.
One warm afternoon Alan described a parade (游行) passing by. Although Henry could not hear the band, he could see it in his mind. Unexpectedly, an alien though: entered his head: why should he have all the pleasure of seeing everything while I never got to see anything? It doesn’t seem fair. Henry felt ashamed at first. But as the days passed and he missed seeing more sight, his envy grew and soon let him down. He began to find himself unable to sleep. He should be by that window ---- and that thought now controlled his life.
Late one night, as he lay staring at the ceiling. Alan began to cough. He was choking. Henry watched in the dim room as the struggling man tried hard to reach for the button to call for help. Listening from across the room, he never moved, never pushed his own button which would have brought the nurse running. In less than five minutes, the coughing and choking stopped, along with the sound of breathing. Now, there was only silence ---- deathly silence.
As soon as it seemed appropriate, Henry asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.
Slowly, painfully, he struggled to take his first look. Finally, he would have the joy of seeing it all himself. He looked out, but faced a black wall.
小题1:Judging from the passenger, the meaning of the underlined word “alien” in Paragraph 3 is ______.
| A．disappointing | B．sudden | C．new | D．strange |
| A．He was moved to another room. | B．He died. |
| C．He switched his bed with Henry. | D．He was very sick. |
| A．to see the blank wall |
| B．to feel the joy of seeing the outside world |
| C．to feel the joy of breathing fresh air |
| D．to see more than Alan |
| A．Kind-hearted and imaginative | B．Well-informed and humorous |
| C．Talkative and funny | D．Cold-hearted and indifferent |
Mark knelt (跪) down and helped the boy pick up the things. Since they were going the same way, he offered to carry some things for the boy.
