That morning, everyone sensed that something wasn"t right. During our lessons, an announcement was made that an assembly (集会) was scheduled for morning break, which was only done in emergencies.
Once morning break came, the entire school gathered in the main hall. As our headmaster marched out to announce the "momentous (重大的) news", it felt like the air around us trembled . Many students broke down in tears, and the reaction afterward was intensely powerful and unifying .
The headmaster said that students were allowed to miss lessons and have a free period to collect themselves if they found the news too distressing (悲伤的). Many students went outside and shared memories of Dr Woolley to control theirselves.
Dr Woolley taught me chemistry two years ago, but up until his death he still taught many of my close friends. Many of my friends were so shocked that they still couldn"t believe the person that they had owed (欠) some homework to was now dead.
It was heart-warming to spend time with teachers that morning and get to know more about them. Despite the time of sadness, I feel that every cloud has a silver lining. Although Dr Woolley"s death is something nobody wanted to see, we must move on.
小题1:What did the students feel at the news of his teacher’s death?
A.unhappy B shocked C.surprised D.silent
小题2:What does the underlined word “collect” in Paragraph4 mean?
| A．bring something together | B．calm down |
| C．increase in amount | D．get and keep |
| A．The real cause of Dr Woolley’s death is known to us. |
| B．Many students didn’t prepare themselves for the bad news so that they felt very sad. |
| C．It takes the whole school some time to recover from the dispressing news. |
| D．Dr Woolley’s death allows students to understand teachers better. |
| A．Dr Woolley’s death made students sad. |
| B．There is still some comfort and hope in trouble |
| C．Dr Woolley’s death disappointed students greatly |
| D．We should forget the fact to study better. |
| A．Our School Faces a Tragedy |
| B．Dr Woolley—A Great Teacher |

答案
小题1:B
小题2:D
小题3:A
小题4:B
小题5:A
解析
小题1:细节理解题。由第一段“my world has been shaken by the death of a teacher at my school” 和第三段“it felt like the air around us trembled”可知学生听到这个消息时，万分震惊。A、C、D三项均不能准确地表达出作者的内心感受。
小题2:词义猜测题。由上文可知, 老师的突然死亡令学生们极度伤心, 学校可以让他们不上课, 给他们自己的时间来缓解这一情绪, 再由下文 “…went outside and shared memories of Dr Woolley to control themselves.”可以推出collect的意思为D(镇静下来)。
小题3:细节理解题，由第一段 “Suddenly he took his own life, which remains a mystery.”可知文章并没告诉我们他自***的原因, 故A项符合题意, 为最佳答案。 B、C、D文中均有明确表述。
小题4:推理判断题。最后一段指出，学生感到和老师们在一起，更多了解他们，是件暖心的事，同时也给同学们慰籍，促使他们继续前行。由此可以推出B项。A项文中有明确表述，C、D项本身表述错误。“a silver lining”的意思为“困难中看到的一点慰藉。
小题5:题目概括题，通览全文后可知：老师突然离世，整个校园都沉浸在悲痛之中，故正确答案为A。

Tales of the supernatural are common in all parts of Britain. In particular, there was (and perhaps still is) a belief in fairies(仙女). Not all of these 1 are the friendly, people-loving characters that appear in Disney films, and in some folktales they are 2 and cause much human suffering. This is true in the tales about the Changeling. These tell the story of a mother whose baby grows 3 and pale and has changed so much that it is almost 4 to the parents. It was then 5 that the fairies had come and stolen the baby away and 6 the human baby with a fairy Changeling. There were many ways to prevent this from happening: hanging a knife over the baby’s head while he slept or covering him with some of his father’s clothes were just two of the recommended 7 . However, hope was not lost even if the baby had been 8 . In those cases there was often a way to get the 9 baby back. You could 10
the Changeling on the fire--then it would rise up the chimney, and you would hear the sound of fairies’ laughter and soon after you would find your own child safe and sound nearby.

At fourteen, Dorothea was teaching school at Worcester, Massachusetts. A short time after she had begun teaching, she set up a school for young girls in her grandparents’ home. Stress was placed on moral character at Dorothea’s school, which she conducted until she was thirty-three.
She was forced to give up teaching at her grandparents’ home, however, when she became ill a few years of inactivity followed.
In 1841 Dorothea began to teach again, accepting a Sunday school class in the East Cambridge, Massachusetts prison. Here she first came upon insane people (精神病人) locked up together with prisoners.
In those days insane people were treated even worse than prisoners. There were only a few madhouses in the entire country. Therefore prisons, poor houses, and houses of correction were used to keep the insane.
Dorothea Dix made a careful investigation of the inhuman treatment of the insane. It was considered unfeminine (不适合) for a woman to devote herself to such work at this time. But this did not stop Dorothea Dix from providing proper medical care for the insane.
Gradually, because of her investigations, conditions were improved. More than thirty mental institutions were founded or rebuilt in the United States because of her hard work. Dorothea also spread her investigations to England and to other parts of Europe.
During the Civil War, Dorothea served as superintendent (负责) of women hospital nurses in the Union army. When the war was over, she returned to her work of improving conditions for insane people.
小题1:This article is mainly about ________.
social problems of the nineteenth century

小题2:How did Dorothea Dix first realize the mistreatment of insane people?
Her grandmother treated the mistreatment of insane people.
She worked in an insane hospital as a young woman.
She taught Sunday school in a prison.
She was asked to investigate the problem.

| A．an illness | B．the Civil War | C．her trip to England | D．her grandmother’s death |
| A．In space order. | B．In time order. |
| C．In alphabetical (字母的) order. | D．From greatest to least important. |
For some strange reason, I had been waiting until my retirement to start doing watercolors again, but as soon as I walked out of the school door for the last time I picked up my brushes and rediscovered Andrew Wyeth, who quickly became my favorite artist. I had looked through all the art books I had on my shelves and found his watercolors to be the closest to how I thought good watercolors should look. So I painted landscapes around Minnesota for three years and tried out many other types of painting. However, watercolors remained my first choice, and I think I did my best work there, showing my paintings at a number of art exhibitions.
Art is now together with my piano playing and reading. There is a time for everything in my world, and it is wonderful to have some time doing what I want to do. As Confucious once said, “At seventy I can follow my heart’s desire.”

One day he visited a merchant in Hamburg who had a lovely daughter named Frumtje. Moses fell hopelessly in love with her. But Moses was refused by his ugly appearance
When it was time for him to leave, Moses picked up his courage and climbed the stairs to
her room to take one last chance to speak with her. She was a heavenly beauty, but caused him deep sadness by her refusal to look at him. After several attempts at conversation, Moses shyly asked, “Do you believe marriages are made in heaven？”
“Yes, ”She answered, still looking at the floor. “And do you？”
“Yes I do, ”He replied. “You see, in heaven at the birth of each boy, the God announces which
girl he will marry. When I was born, my future bride(新娘) was pointed out to me. Then the God added, ‘But your wife will be humpbacked. ’”“Right then and there I called out, ‘Oh God, a humpbacked woman would be a tragedy(不幸). Please, God, give me the hump and let her be beautiful. ’”
Then Frumtje looked up into his eyes and was stirred by some deep memory. She reached out and gave Mendelssohn her hand and later became his devoted wife.
