Question

【题目】 Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history? Many people would think of Confucius, whose birthday was September 28th. Although he lived over 2,000 years ago, people still remember and respect（尊重）him for his contribution（贡献）to the education today.

Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu, which lies in Shandong Province. He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had a hard childhood. His father died when he was only 3. His mother brought him up. As a child, he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius didn't give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports.

Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history. At that time only children from noble families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3,000 students in his lifetime.

Today, people still follow Confucius' lessons. He told us that we all have something important to be learned. "When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas. I choose their good qualities（品质）and follow them."

He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. "All study but no thinking makes people puzzled（困惑的）．All thinking but no study makes people lazy."

Confucius is not only a great teacher, but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society. His most important teachings are about kindness and good manners." A person should be strict with himself, but be kind to others." he said.

【解析】

本文介绍了伟大的教育家孔子的生平，他在教育以及思想方面对社会的贡献。

【1】细节理解题。根据 people still remember and respect him for his contribution to the education today，可知，人们纪念和尊重孔子是因为他对教育的贡献。故选B。

【2】细节理解题。根据He visited many famous teachers and learned music,history,poetry and sports，可知，孔子通过拜访许多著名老师的方式来学习音乐，历史，诗歌和体育。故选C。

【3】词义猜测题。根据but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn“但是孔子相信如果每个人都想学，他们都应该上学”，可知，那个时期并不是所有的孩子都能上学，能上学的应该是少数人，所以只有贵族家庭的孩子才可以上学，所以划线处表示“贵族的”。故选C。

【4】细节理解题。根据His father died when he was only 3.As a child,he had to work to help his mother.可知三岁时丧父，作为孩子他要帮助母亲，可知③排在第一，①排在第二；Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history，可知④排在第三．符合③①④顺序的是A项。故选A。

【5】推理判断题。根据He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. "All study but no thinking makes people puzzled．All thinking but no study makes people lazy"“他总是教育我们在学习中思考是很重要的，学而不思则罔，思而不学则殆”，所以A和C选项是正确的。根据 He told us that we all have something important to be learned，可知，每个人都有一些重要的东西值得别人学，故B项是错误的。故选B。
