题目内容

I cannot remember too many specifics of what I was taught in school, but I do remember learning the layers of the earth—inner core(地核), outer core, mantle, crust. I think it’s rather humorous that I know these, because studying the earth is not exactly something that would interest me. The only subjects I enjoyed in school were art and spelling. Every other subject I seemed to tune out. Anyway, the reason I learned the layer of the earth and actually enjoyed learning them was because my 6th grade teacher told us that she was going to make an ice-cream earth. For the entire week, I tried to imagine how in the world she was going to do this. She had us memorize the layers so that we would be able to tell her the names of them before we would get some ice-cream that Friday.

       Friday came and everyone was excited. I was even more excited that I could tell the teacher the names of each layer. She got a big bowl, lined it with a chocolate cracker crust, then three layers of different colored ice-cream. I thought it was so cool that the crust was the crust.

       This shows me that taking the time to teach creatively is worth it because unique activities are what students will learn, rather then simply reading everything from a text or listening to lecture done in black and white.

1.According to the writer, how did his teacher teach creatively?

       A.She was humorous and taught geography in art and spelling classes.

       B.She asked her students to make the ice-cream earth with colored layers

       C.She made the ice-cream earth and used it as a reward for good learners.

       D.She taught the lesson on Friday so her students could review it at the weekend.

2.The underlined words “tune out”(Paragraph 1) most probably means_____.

       A.fail                  B.ignore                C.hate                    D.forget

3.What is the point the writer wished to express in the text?

       A.Children learn better through interesting experiences.

       B.Ice-cream with a chocolate crust is children’s favorite.

       C.A woman teacher is better at organizing good classroom activities.

       D.A knowledge of the earth is best learned through ice-cream making

Sir, 
     The majority(=Most) of your readers must have been surprised and shocked to read a letter from Mr.R.
Hogg, published in last Wednesday's Herald. Mr. Hogg seems to think that his own convenience and that of
motorists in general are the only things that matter in our city.
     I would have supported Mr. Hogg if he had just made suggestions to improve the situation. No doubt his
problems would be partly solved if the local government built a multi-storey car park in the city center, instead
of encouraging motorists to use public transport. All the same, judging from the tone of Mr. Hogg's letter, I
suspect that motorists who are so careless of pedestrians' (行人) safety that they would rather park their ears
on the pavement than hold up the traffic would probably be too lazy to use a multi-storey car park if they had
to walk a few hundred yards to their destination afterwards.
      My main reason for writing, however, is much more important. Does Mr.Hogg realize that, according to
figures (数字) showed by the Department of Transport,13,000 people were knocked down in Britain last year
because of ears being illegally parked either on the pavement or on crossings? In fact, although the total
pedestrian casualty (伤亡事故) rate has fallen over the last ten years, there has been an increase in accidents
caused when pedestrians have to step out into the mad to avoid parked cars on the pavement and cannot see
oncoming traffic.
      I cannot share Mr. Hogg's view that the government have paid little attention to "long-suffering motorists"
:and I think the punishment for dangerous parking should be made severe enough to stop all motorists from
breaking the law in this way. A WALKER, Proudfoot Lane,Carchester
1. The letter above is written in answer to the letter by _____.
A. art editor
B. a certain Mr.R.Hogg
C. some readers
D. some motorists
2. The topic for the two letters is _____.
A. parking problems in the city center
B. building a multi-storey car park in the city center
C. public transport
D. the increase in accidents caused by parked cars on the pavement
3. What Mr.A.Walker does want to make known in his letter is that _____.
A. the total pedestrian casualty rate has fallen
B. careless parking may cause serious traffic accidents
C. the convenience of motorists in general matters much
D. the safety of pedestrians matters lithe
4. In Mr.A. Walker's opinion, severer punishment should be given to _____.
A. all the careless motorists
B. all the law breakers
C. all who step out into the road
D. all who do dangerous parking
