题目内容

【题目】 My students were taking midterms when my phone erupted with urgent messages. “A student is having a panic attack,” texted a teaching assistant. I ran out of my office, down a flight of stairs and found the student — a pupil in my 350-person organic chemistry class — lying motionless on the ground outside the exam hall. “Did my exam really trigger a panic attack?” I asked myself. “Why am I not prepared to deal with a situation like this?”

It was my first time teaching the course. But I knew that the subject was challenging for my students. This was a source of stress for premedical students in particular, who feared that a low grade in organic chemistry would keep them from getting into medical school.

The following day, I was scheduled to lecture to the same class. I knew that I had to address what had happened during the midterm. So, I started by saying: “I want to take some time today to talk about something important. How many of you think that this is a weed-out course?” Half of my students raised their hands carefully. “I’m sorry to hear that,” I continued. “I want you all to know that I do not consider any of you to be weeds; you all deserve to be here.”

I flashed a slide of flowers in various shapes. I smiled at my students and said: “I think of you as flowers — different flowers with different needs. You may not bloom at the same time, but you will bloom! You may not do well in the midterm exam, but you will learn from your mistakes and do better in the final exam. I believe this. I believe in you.”

From that point on, my office hours were packed. Some asked about lecture topics and study strategies; others opened up about personal issues. I was amazed that a simple, frank discussion in lecture could make such a difference.

【1】What made the pupil have a panic attack?

A.Hiding personal issues.

B.The stress for high grades.

C.Lacking study strategies.

D.Failing to handle the situation.

【2】What does the underlined word “trigger” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean?

A.Cure.B.Prevent.

C.Frighten.D.Cause.

【3】Why did the author go to the same class the next day?

A.To give the lesson according to the arrangement.

B.To apologize and explain to the panicked student.

C.To give a speech on what happened in the test.

D.To persuade all the students to stay in the class.

【4】Which paragraph mainly shows the author’s encouragement to students?

A.Paragraph 2.

B.Paragraph 3.

C.Paragraph 4.

D.Paragraph 5.

【答案】

【1】B

【2】D

【3】A

【4】C

【解析】

本文是记叙文。作者的一个班级在参加期中考试时，一位学生因为考试压力恐慌症发作。作者因此对自己的课程进行了分析，改变了教学方式，给予学生更多鼓励，学生们更自信，和老师能敞开心扉进行交流。

【1】

推理判断题。根据第二段中的But I knew that the subject was challenging for my students. This was a source of stress for premedical students in particular, who feared that a low grade in organic chemistry would keep them from getting into medical school.可知，但我知道这门课对我的学生来说很有挑战性。这对医科预科学生来说尤其是个压力的来源，他们担心有机化学的低分会让他们进不了医学院。由此推知，高分的压力使那名学生恐慌症发作。故选B。

【2】

词义猜测题。根据上下文可知，一个学生在作者考试的时候，恐慌症发作，因此推断作者此处在自问：我这科目的考试会导致学生产生惊恐症吗？由此推知，划线词trigger表示“引起，促使”。故选D。

【3】

细节理解题。根据第三段中的The following day, I was scheduled to lecture to the same class.可知，第二天，我被安排去上同一门课。由此可知，根据课程安排作者第二天又来到这个班上课。故选A。

【4】

推理判断题。根据第四段中的I think of you as flowers — different flowers with different needs. You may not bloom at the same time, but you will bloom! You may not do well in the midterm exam, but you will learn from your mistakes and do better in the final exam. I believe this. I believe in you.可知，我把你们当成花朵，不同的花朵，有不同的需要。你们可能不能同时开花，但你们会开花的！你们可能在期中考试中做得不好，但你们会从错误中吸取教训，在期末考试中做得更好。我相信这一点。我相信你们。由此可知，第四段是作者对学生的鼓励。故选C。

【题目】 Officer Michael Rivers, a policeman who was snapped and the image shared on Facebook, as he sat sharing his lunch with a homeless woman at the side of the road in North Carolina, in the USA, is praised.

According to Chris Barnes, his wife Cassie took the photo while she was on her lunch break. She saw the pair sharing a pizza and soft drink while they were having a friendly chat. Mr. Barnes uploaded the image with the notes:" Cassie was out on her lunch break and observed the officer enjoying lunch with a homeless person.”

Officer Rivers recalled seeing the woman earlier that day. He told Yahoo news: “I was leaving the parking lot of Walmart and she was standing by the stop sign. Her shirt read, 'Homeless the fastest way of becoming a nobody.’ I hated that she felt that way.” He added: “I always try to talk to the homeless just to see how they got into their situation. You know, because it can happen to any one of us, at any given moment.”

After he drove away, he circled back to ask if the woman was hungry and if she wanted food. The officer said she was honored by his offer. He bought them both pizza and Mountain Dew and when the pair sat down to eat, he learned of her family struggles and told her: “Hey, you still got stuff to live for, you still got your life ahead of you. It's never too late.”

Officer Rivers, who does recruiting for the Goldsboro PD, hopes to send a message of sympathy for others. He added: “When the younger or newer guys come in, I let them know, ‘Hey treating the community like human beings is the most important thing in the world.’”

Is everybody here? I have a announcement to make. We’re going to climb the mountain if the weather gets much good. I wish the weather is better here for you.

If it doesn’t snow too heavy tonight, I’ll see you back here at six o’clock tomorrow morning. We’ll take our breakfast with us because we won’t reach the top of the mountains unless we set out early.

【题目】 When I reached inside the floorboard, my hand touched what felt like a book. I pulled it out. It was an old and small book: Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations. I wondered whom the quotations (引语) were supposed to be familiar to. What I did know, thanks to Ms. Rattray, my seventh-grade teacher, was the correct way to use quotation marks. I decided to see what was inside this little book.

On the top corners of each page was a word or phrase, I opened it to “comfort and despair” and then “doubt” and “light”. I’d never thought about “light” any other way except as a lamp or daylight. It turned out that Mr Bartlett didn’t feel all these emotions himself. He had gathered up quotations from thousands of other people.

I was relieved to discover that those people were not afraid to express what they thought, including the fears and that they had so many thoughts about things that troubled me. Before this, I was lonely and I didn’t know whom talk to about the world and my role in it.

In ninth grade, I worked as an assistant at our local library. I often hid in the comer, where no one would see me, and I would read. It was at this library that I realized how some of those emotions I’d felt while reading Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations came to life in the characters I had started discovering in novels.

I have bought a few of the newer editions, but the original one is the one that helped me explore my inner self and see more than young mind and heart were able to understand.

【1】How might the author feel when he found the book by chance?

A.Curious.B.Familiar.C.Thankful.D.Puzzled

【2】What does Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations mainly include?

A.Bartlett’s real personal feelings.

B.Thoughts of thousands of people.

C.Emotional stories of other people.

D.A representative word collection.

【3】What do we know about the author in ninth grade?

A.He found time to read Bartlett’s books again.

B.He volunteered to work as a school librarian.

C.He vividly understood the characters’ feelings.

D.He learned to analyze Bartlett’s life in depth.

We’ll never forget a day when my classmates and I paid a visit a chemistry factory. It is a large one with nearly 20, 000 workers. It looks like a garden but we saw colorful flowers, grass and trees there. We also visited some workshop and found workers working hard. We talked to them and learned a lot of. We understood them farther. On the way home we felt very tiring, but we both thought we had a very good day. We really hoped what we could get more chances of learn about society.
