18.Barditch High School decided to an All-School Reunion.Over 450 people came to the event.There were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park.Several former teachers were on hands to tell stories about the old days.Ms.Mabel Yates,the English teacher for fifty years,was wheeled to the Park.
Some eyes rolled and there were a few low groans(嘟囔声)when Ms.Yates was about to speak.Many started looking at their watches and coming up with excuses to be anywhere instead of preparing to listen to a lecture from and old woman who had few kind words for her students and made them work harder than all the other teachers combined.
Then Ms.Yates started to speak:
"I can't tell you how pleased I am to be here.I haven't seen many of you since your graduation,but I have followed your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies.I have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my students.Although I haven't appeared in person,I have attended your college graduations,weddings and even the birth your children,in my imagination."
Ms.Yates paused and started crying a bit.Then she continued:
"It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could,some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me.Regardless of our motives,I can see that you have all been successful in you chosen path."
"There is no greater comfort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her years of work.You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I love you all from the bottom of my heart."
There was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then someone started clapping.Tee clapping turned into cheering,then into a deafening roar(呼喊).Lawyers,truck drivers,bankers and models were rubbing their eyes or crying openly with no shame all because of the words from a long forgotten English teacher from their hometown.

分析 本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了在一次同学聚会上老师发自肺腑的演讲.一位原本并不为学生所喜爱的老师告诉学生,自从他们毕业后她一直在记录着关注着他们的一切.他相信对他们严格会让他们成功.通过演讲,同学们知道了曾经讨厌的老师是如此可敬,一直陪伴他们成长.

解答 41.答案:C.细节理解题.根据文章第一段的第四句"several former teachers were on hand to tell stories about the old days."可知,组织活动的目的是为了讲述过去发生的事情.故C项正确.
42.答案:B.推理判断题.根据第二段的第一句根据"Many started looking at their watches and coming up with excuses to be anywhere instead of preparing to listen to a lecture from an old woman who had few kind words for her students and made them work harder than all the other teachers combined."可知,当老师要说话时,学生寻找各种借口去各个地方而不是准备听老师讲话.这个老师话很少,但老师要他们努力学习,比其他老师加起来的还要多.可知,学生不喜欢他的教学方式.故B项正确.
43.答案:A.细节理解题.根据文章第四段Ms.Yates演讲的第二句中的"but I have followed your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies."可推断出,这位老师一直在关注着她的学生的成长.故A项正确.
44.答案:C.细节理解题.根据第六段第一句"It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could,some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me."可知,Ms.Yates认为她越是严厉地对待学生,学生就越容易成功.故C项正确.
45.答案:D.推理判断题.根据文章倒数第二段的最后一句中"I want you to know I love you all from the bottom of my heart"和第六段的第一句"It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could."可推断出Ms.Yates是一个既严厉又充满了爱心的人,故D项正确.

点评 做这类题时,不仅要掌握文章的主旨大意,而且要根据题干在文章中找出关键信息进行细节理解,并根据上下文猜测词义.

"What happened?Where am I?"she asked."You just destroyed the school's skeleton,Mum,"explained Jessica."I brought it home to help me with my health project.I meant to tell you,but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets,it caused a problem between you and Dad."Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly."They're both crazy,"she thought.
