【答案】B

【解析】本句中含有一个同位语从句that Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 crashed with 154 Chinese passengers on aboard说明前面的名词news的内容,说明该词表示的是特指,故使用定冠词the;第二空的名词surprise惊讶,原来是一个抽象名词,要单独使用。但是在本句中是一个具体的名词,表示“令人惊讶的事情”。惊讶:载有154名乘客的马来西亚航班MH370坠毁的消息对我们来说是一件非常令人惊讶的事情。故B正确。

【题目】Juac has made the leap from being an African refugee (难民) to a chess champion in the United States. His job is to share his expertise(专长) with students in schools, chess camps and other events.

During Sudan's civil war in the mid-1980s, Juac was forced out of the country with 20,000 0ther so -called Lost Boys. He fled to Ethiopia, then to Kenya staying in a refugee camp for eight years, where he learned to play chess.

Juac described a dangerous journey in which half the boys didn't survive. To eat, they had to kill wild animals.

"There were animals on the way. It was about a thousand miles and sometimes there was no water. When we were in Ethiopia, we had to cross the river and there a lot drowned."

Juac arrived in the United States in 2004 and began working as a security guard. Winning a chess tournament gave him this teaching opportunity. Juac believes chess helps prepare young people for life.

"Some kids are not interested, so it's your job to make them like the game, to explain them what chess is going to help them with." He said. "Like, I can tell, this game will give you patience, and help with your math skills."

Julie Cathone, a second grade teacher in Jackson Public School, agrees. The School's principal, Meghan Kelley, said Juac and chess have made a big difference.

"What a role model. I mean when you think about just overcoming, and finding what you love and turning that into your life's work."

Juac said he enjoys the freedom he has in the United States. But his passion is playing and teaching chess to youngsters. His boss, Michael Propper , said Juac has one great advantage.

"I think he's believable. I think they look at him and he's so unassuming that they feel like they can do what he's doing and be a person as he is too."

Ju ac still has a big goal ahead of him-becoming an international chess master. With his skill and patience, Propper and his peers have no doubt that will happen.

【1How long did Juac most probably stay in Ethiopia?

A. About six years. B. About eight years.

C. About twelve years. D. About sixteen years.

【2】We can learn from the passage that Juac _

A. must be teaching kids chess for free

B. is patient and good at math problems

C. surely has his own chess school in American

D. hasn't taken part in international chess contests

【3The underlined word "unassuming" probably means __

A. not appear important B. seem to be very great

C. appear very charming D. be not strict or serious

【4】Which is the best title for this passage?

A. "Lost Boys" Experienced Difficult Times.

B. Former Sudan "Lost Boy" Appears in NYC.

C. Former Sudan “Lost Boy" Becomes Chess Master.

D. African Boy Is Teaching Chess in the United States.

【题目】No poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”, until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.

All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling “interpretation”(解读) of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on film, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting it.

I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing” it, if there isn’t time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is “ a criticism of life”, and “ a heightening(提升) of life”. It is “an approach to the truth of feeling”, and it “can save your life”. It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.

I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.

【1】To have a better understanding of a poem, one should________.

A. discuss it with others B. analyze it by oneself

C. copy it down in a notebook D. practise reading it aloud

【2】According to the writer, one of the purposes of teaching English is to get students________.

A. to understand life. B. to enjoy poetry.

C. to become teachers. D. to become poets

【3】What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply?

A. More importance should be attached to the teaching of poetry.

B. Poetry is more important than any other subject.

C. One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry

D. Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses

【题目】Studying Abroad

In the first place, he can use the foreign language in his daily life so that his ability in the second language may be greatly improved, as it is obvious that there is no better chance to improve second language than living in the country where it is spoken. While studying in a foreign country, he will most likely meet many others from overseas and it is possible to make friends from all over the world.

In this way, there is every chance that he is able to widen his horizon (眼界) and broaden his mind.

Of course, attending schools abroad may bring about a series of problems. The most serious problem is language barrier. Most of the students who go abroad don’t have enough skills in the language spoken there. As a result, on arriving there, they will find it difficult to understand what the teachers say. Besides, for lack of knowledge of the customs of the local people, they may constantly run into trouble in dealing with various situations.
