9.He says the problem with teachers is,"What will a kid learn from someone who chose to become a teacher?"He reminds the other dinner guests that it's true what they say about teachers:Those who can,do; those who can't teach.I decide to bite my tongue instead of biting his and stop myself from reminding the other dinner guests that it's also true what they say about lawyers-that they make money from the misfortune of others.
"I mean,you're a teacher,Taylor,"he says to me."Be honest.What do you make?"
I wish he hadn't asked me to be honest,because now I have to teach him a lesson.
You want to know what I make?
I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could.
I can make a C+ feel like a great achievement and an A-feel like a failure.
How dare you waste my time with anything less than your very best?
I make parents tremble in fear when I call them:
I hope I haven't called at a bad time,
I just wanted to talk to you about something Billy said today.
Billy said,"Leave the kid alone.I still cry sometimes,don't you?"
And it was the bravest act I have ever seen.
I make parents see their children for who they are and what they can be.
You want to know what I make?
I make kids wonder.
I make them question.
I make them criticise.
I make them think.
I make them apologies and mean it.
I make them write,write,write.
And then I make them read.
I teach them to solve math problems
that they once thought impossible.
I make them understand that if you have brains then you follow your heart
and if someone ever tries to judge you by what you make,you teach them a lesson.
Let me make this simple for you,so you know what I say is true;
I make a great difference!What about you?

分析 本文为科教类论说文,文章以Taylor和另一名客人在宴会上的辩论为载体反驳了"Those who can,do; those who can't teach(有能力的人做事,没能力的人教学)",并且通过连续的排比列举了教师的种种作用和对每个孩子的积极影响,说明教育的巨大作用.
解答 41.答案是C.推断题;由第一段中这位客人的话"Those who can,do; those who can't teach(有能力的人做事,没能力的人教学)"可以判断他在诋毁老师,所以作为老师的Taylor本想反击"reminding the other dinner guests that it's also true what they say about lawyers-that they make money from the misfortune of others提醒其他客人,他们所说的--律师利用其他人的不幸赚钱--也是真的",故推断Taylor项要反击的对象应该是律师,故选C.
42.D.词汇猜测题;由下一句中"stop myself from reminding the other dinner guests…阻止我自己提醒他人…"推断作者是决定"不把自己真正的想法说出来",故选择D.
43.C.细节理解题;由文章中"I just wanted to talk to you about something Billy said today.(我就是想告诉你们今天Billy说了什么)"可知作者打电话的目的;而下文作者的评价是"And it was the bravest act I have ever seen.(这是我所见过的最勇敢的行为)";可见作者打电话是为了表扬Billy,故选C.
44.答案是A.推断题,对对方的诋毁作者很生气,所以在很骄傲地列举了很多成绩后反问了对方"What about you?",故选A.
45.B.主旨大意题.文章以Taylor和另一名客人在宴会上的辩论为载体反驳了"Those who can,do; those who can't teach(有能力的人做事,没能力的人教学)",以排比I make them…列举了教师的种种作用,故选B.
