题型:不详难度:来源:
A few years ago, when I was still in high school, I met a wonderful and warm teacher. At that time in my life, there were many changes to adjust to, apart from the usual teenage troubles. My parents had divorced, so my elder brother and I had chosen to stay with my dad. Due to the fact that he was keeping the house, we didn’t have to move.
During this time, my teacher took a special interest in me. Being my English teacher, she encouraged my mind to travel to creativity I had long given up. She brought me out of the shell I built.
She became my mother, my older sister, my friend and my teacher. The one thing she couldn’t do though was to make me more girly as growing up with only my dad and brother made me a real tomboy.
Sometimes, I would be really immature(不成熟的), especially if she was scoring me less than others on purpose. She knew I could do better than what I was handing in and so pushed me to extend further than limits.
When I finished school and then after college I was about to leave my hometowns she gifted me a watch that every second, with my pulse, should remind me of the one person who will forever wait and love me without reservation.
Time has passed and our friendship is distant, but in my heart, soul and mind, she is the closest I ever got.
小题1:The writer and her elder brother chose to live with their father simply because _________.
A.their mother was expecting to have another baby
B.they didn’t have to move out of their house
C.they hated their mother remarried
D.they had a closer relationship with their father
小题2:How did the writer get along with her studies before she met her English teacher?
A.She was hopeless and had given up her studies.
B.She was getting along well with her studies.
C.She had some trouble with her studies.
D.She lacked interest in creativity.
小题3:The writer behaved herself like a boy because ________.
A.she needed the love of mother
B.she wanted to learn from her father and brother
C.she lived with only men all the time
D.her English teacher didn’t care about her
小题4: What was the writer’s attitude to the watch given by the teacher?
A.She considered it to be very useful.
B.She valued it very much.
C.She kept it very well.
D.She wanted to do something later in return for it.

答案

小题1:B
小题1:D
小题1:C
小题1:B
解析

文章大意:我永远都不会忘却那位亦母、亦姐、亦友、亦师的中学老师,是她帮我度过了父母离异后的那段艰难时光。
小题1:B 细节理解题。由文中第一段最后一句“Due to the fact that he was keeping the house we didn’t have to move.”可知作者和哥哥选择与父亲同住是因为父母离异后,父亲拥有房子,他们不必搬家。
小题1:D 细节理解题。由第二段第二句“Being my English teacher she encouraged my mind to travel to creativity I had long given up.”可知,我早已放弃了这种创造性思维,换言之,就是在遇到这位老师之前她缺乏对创造性思维的兴趣。
小题1:C 细节理解题。由第三段最后一句中的 as 从句可知,我之所以行为如同男孩儿,是因为我总是和父亲、哥哥一起生活。
小题1:B 推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段中的“she gifted me a watch that every second... without reservation.”可知,这块表能时刻提醒我记起那位永远等待且毫无保留地爱我的恩师,说明我是非常珍惜这块表的。

举一反三
Dior was born in Normandy in 1905, and his family’s original plans for him included a career in the diplomatic service, but by the time he was twenty-three, with his parents’ money, he opened a small art gallery in Paris. By 1931, the money had been used up. Dior’s friends in the art gallery asked him to draw and he took his first step at designing and drawing. His first job was with Lucien Lelong from whom Dior learned his craft(手艺).
In February, 1947, Dior started the New Look in his first major Paris collection. He was backed by a famous textile producer, Boussac, who looked after the dollars, while Dior looked after the fashions. Dior knew nothing about cutting and sewing, but he was good at fashion design.
The New Look started an entirely different look to costume, with a tiny waist, a rounded shoulder and a shapely bust(胸围), usually with a low-cut neckline and a long full skirt. To women who had lived through the war years, the femaleness of the New Look was a great success, for people were tired of the extremely plain, wartime restrictive fashions.
It is said that dresses by Dior were “constructed like buildings”, but young people were attracted to his design, and all over the western world, manufacturers plunged into(投入)the production of his new style. Dior’s revolutionary designs lighted up a whole cycle of fashion - rounded, gentle, feminine - a delight in elegance. A New kook House of Dior opened in 1948, followed by one in London. Considered as King of Couture (Women’s clothing) for years, the Dior Empire grew until it covered every country in the western world, and included furs, jewelry, perfumes, men’s wear and so on. Over 1,000 people worked at the Paris headquarters then.
His sudden death in 1957 when he was 52 years old did not stop the growth of the House of Dior. Even now, so many years after his death, his name is closely connected with fashion throughout the world, and indeed is one of the most recognized names in the world. His first great New Look, with its long skirts, was an expression of freedom in the late 1940s.
小题1:Which of the following designs is close to Dior’s?

小题2:According to the passage, in Dior’s life, he did not _________.
A.make creative fashion designs
B.work in a diplomatic service
C.learn craft as his first job
D.open a New Look House
小题3:We can infer from the passage that ________.
A.Dior and his supporter had different interests in business
B.Dior’s New Look had little influence on people then
C.Dior is only a brand of women’s fashion
D.Dior’s fashion was not accepted at first
小题4:What is probably the best title for the passage?
A.The History of the New Look
B.The Growth of the Dior Empire
C.An Expression of Freedom - Dior
D.The Founder of the New Look – Dior

When Jane Austen (1775--1817) wrote her novels in England, she was writing about a   21 that most of us would not recognize.
But today Austen’s books are in great   22  than ever. In the last ten years, five or six novels have been   23  into Hollywood films, while her books continue to be bestsellers. So why is Austen still   24 ?
Richard Jenkyns, a professor of English at Oxford University argued that her novels still  25  people because they  26 the same issues today as they were when she wrote them.
Her novels are about women   27 to find a perfect husband, but also  28 issues surrounding marriages, friendships and the family. “The plots are fairly timeless about human interaction   29 are familiar to us,” Jenkyns says.
The most famous book Austen wrote is Pride and Prejudice, a   30  story between Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy. At first the two   31 do not get on. They   32  fall in love, but still have to   33  opposition to their relationship from their families.
All of Austen’s books are   34  to read, making them popular with children and adults,
  35 they work on different levels so people can take  36 they need from them, author Kate Henry says.
“You can choose to see the politics and feminism(男女平等思想) in them,  37 you don’t want to take on those issues you can turn a blind eye to it,” she says.
  38 is often hailed(赞扬) as the greatest romance writer in the English language, so it is surprising she remained  39 . “Maybe she was too much of a romantic, waiting for a    40
man,” Henry says.

   Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do; once or twice she had looked into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, “and what is the use of the book,” thought Alice, “without pictures and conversations?”
So she was considering in her own mind whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain(雏菊花环) would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a white rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.
There was nothing so very remarkable in that; but when the rabbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit- hole under the bush.
The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very deep well.
Down, down, down. Would the fall never come to an end? “I wonder how many miles I’ve fallen by this time?” she said aloud. “I must be getting somewhere near the centre of the earth. Let me see: that would be four thousand miles down, I think. I wonder if I shall fall right through the earth! How funny it’ll seem to come out among the people that walk with their heads downward! The Antipathies, I think—but I shall have to ask them what the name of the country is, you know. ‘Please, Ma’am, is this New Zealand or Australia?’ And what an ignorant little girl she’ll think me for asking! No, it’ll never do to ask.”
Down, down, down. There was nothing else to do, when suddenly, thump! thump! Down she came upon a heap of sticks and dry leaves, and the fall was over.
小题1:What kind of books do you think will interest Alice most?
A.Books that her sister was reading.
B.Books without pictures or conversations.
C.Books about white rabbits.
D.Books with pictures and conversations.
小题2:Which of the following is true?
A.Alice suddenly saw a white rabbit with a strange umbrella.
B.Alice managed to fall right through the earth.
C.Alice ran after the white rabbit across the field out of curiosity.
D.The people on the opposite side of the earth walk with their heads downward.
小题3:Which is the right order of the story?
a. Alice jumped into a large hole.
b. A white rabbit ran close by her.
c. Alice sat by her sister, doing nothing.
d. She fell upon some sticks and dry leaves.

Sydney – A shark savaged a schoolboy’s leg while he was surfing with his father at a beach in Sydney on February 23.it was the third shark attack along the coast of Australia’s largest city in a month.
The 15 – year – old boy and his father were in the water off Avalon, on Sydney’s northern beaches, around dawn when he was attacked.The city’s beaches are packed with locals and tourists during the summer months.
“The father heard a scream and turned to see his son trashing (扭动) about in the water,” police said.“Fortunately, the shark swam away and the boy was helped to shore by his father.”
Lifesaving Club spokesman Nick Miller: “It got him around the top of his left leg and the father came and dragged him out of water.” He said the boy was bleeding heavily when he was brought to shore.“There was a lot of pain, as you can imagine”.The teenager was airlifted to hospital for treatment for leg injuries.
Police said the bites “cut through to the bone”, but the boy did not appear to have sustained any fractures (骨折).He was in a stable condition now.
Several beaches were closed after the attack.Water police and lifeguards were searching for the shark, while police hoped to identify its species by the shape of the bite marks.But they said it was too early to say what type of shark attacked the boy.“I don’t even know if he saw it,” Miller said.
Many shark species live in the waters off Sydney’s beaches, but attacks on humans are still relatively rare.However, there were two attacks on successive days earlier this month, one on a navy diver in Sydney harbor, not far from the famous Opera House, and the other on a surfer at the city’s world – famous Bondi beach.
Fishermen say shark numbers are on the rise.There is a ban on commercial fishing in the harbor, which has increased fish stocks.Marine experts also claim environmental protection has created a cleaner environment, attracting sharks closer to shore as they chase fish.Many shark species, including the Great White – the man – eater made famous in Steven Spielberg’s Jaws – are protected in Australian waters.
小题1:The report mainly tells us         .
A.shark attacks on humans are on the rise
B.sharks attacked humans three times in one month
C.a boy was attacked by a shark at a Sydney beach
D.shark numbers are increasing in the waters off Sydney’s beaches
小题2:The underlined word “savaged” in the first paragraph probably means “        ”.
A.attractedB.draggedC.bitD.packed
小题3:What do we know about the city of Sydney from the passage?
A.It is one of the largest cities in Australia.
B.Sydney harbor is not far from the famous Opera House.
C.There are many locals and tourists on its coast all year round.
D.There are few shark species in the waters off Sydney’s beaches.
小题4:About the injury of the boy we know that        .
A.he was losing much blood when he was dragged out
B.he was very nervous when he was sent to hospital
C.he may be in danger of losing his leg
D.he was injured in the right leg
