27、   I never planned to be a teacher. I was headed for a law school, for a real career. Teaching was something to “get out of my system”. I would teach a couple of years and then go to get a real job. After the first couple of years, I promised myself I would leave if I didn’t love my job any more. Twenty-nine years later, that day still has not come.

So, why do I stay? I stay because I laugh and learn every day. The children are funny, insightful, and honest. If my shoes don’t match my outfit, they tell me. If my argument that Invisible Man is an important twentieth century classic doesn’t convince them, they tell me.

I stay because every single day is different. Some days, my lessons are great, and I have classes of students who are engaged in reading, writing and thinking. Some days, my lessons fall flat, and I realize that I need to start from the beginning - even after 29 years.

I stay because I love to see the children realize that they have learned something; I love to see the children write well; I love the feeling of reading a well-argued essay, and I love smiling as I write a final “Awesome job!” on a paper on which a student has worked hard.

I stay because what I’ve learned in 29 years is that I do have a “real” job - the most real job there is. It’s the one that leads to other jobs, that helps to create good thinkers who go on to be productive in our society, and that supports our community as it grows and times change. My job is among the ones that matter most.

【1】The author became a teacher because he _________.

A.needed money to go to a law school B.loved dealing with children

C.loved teaching very much D.failed to get a “real” job

【2】We can infer from Paragraph 2 that the author _________.

A.often pays no attention to his outfit B.is good at convincing his students

C.enjoys his time with his students D.doesn’t read many classics

【3】What does the underlined phrase “fall flat” in paragraph 3 mean?

A.end in failure B.pay off C.make sense D.fall into ruin

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A.What the author has learned as a teacher.

B.What the author thinks of being a teacher.

C.Why the author didn’t choose to become a lawyer.

D.Why the author chooses to stay as a teacher.

28、   On a sunny spring day, a group of children, four to seven-year- old, sit on their bicycles.

They wear helmets to protect their heads and gloves to protect their hands. Their mothers, watch them closely for fear that the children will fall off their bikes. The children are ready to learn how to ride.

Rachel Varn still remembers how she felt riding a bicycle for the first time. Now her job is helping children experience that moment. Rachel Varn left her job of selling bicycles to become a trainer for bicycle riding last year. She founded Pedal Power Kids to teach bicycle education.

Before starting a ride, she teaches the children how to make sure the bicycles are in good condition for safe use. She calls it “the ABC quick check.” A is for air, she explains. “We have to check our tires before we ride.” B is for brakes. We want to make sure our brakes work before we find ourselves on the top of a hill about to go down. And C is for chain. She says the chain must be clean.

The rest of the training is more fun. The children learn riding skills, from balance and pedaling to turning, starting and stopping. And they learn to keep their eyes up and look ahead while riding. Varn says many children struggle to do this. They look down at the pedals (踏板) instead. She adds, “Obviously that doesn’t allow them to see what’s going on around them, and it also doesn’t allow them to turn properly.”

Varn says watching where you are going helps you turn easier.

Learning to ride a bicycle can open a whole new world to children. It gives them a sense of success and freedom. They become more sensitive to their surroundings and better able to make safe, smart decisions going from one place to another.

Varn’s goal is to get more children on two wheels. Since starting Pedal Power Kids last year, Varn has helped around 250 new riders.

【1】How do the mothers feel when the children are ready to learn riding?

A.Confident. B.Nervous.

C.Excited. D.Relaxed.

【2】What is “the ABC quick check” aimed to do?

A.To check if bikes are in safe condition for use.

B.To check if the tires are safe for them to use.

C.To make sure the brakes work.

D.To check whether the chain is clean.

【3】What will make it easier to turn the corner when riding a bike?

A.Stopping to look around. B.Looking down at the pedals.

C.Looking where they are going. D.Keeping their eyes up and looking up.

【4】What benefit can riding a bicycle bring according to the passage?

A.It opens a new world to the mothers.

B.It gives children a sense of achievement.

C.It helps children stay away from video games.

D.It makes children familiar with the surrounding.

29、I remember her words,almost as if they were spoken yesterday.

Mrs.Mabel Price,our high school teacher in that little town of Westminster,in Western Maryland,said,

“You belong in college,and I’m going to do everything I can to get you there.” For me,college was something out of the question,something on a far distant planet,something only， those people who had special rights did.I said,”I can’t go to college because I don’t have the money. There’s no way I could afford it.I’m going to join the army.”

Even though I was graduating at the top of my class in that small town,and enjoyed the experience of learning and thinking,I was used to a long tradition of experience in my family.We were people of limited means,and three of my four older brothers had gone off to join the army.

“Being an army man is a perfectly respectable way of life,”she said,”but you have a gift that can make a difference in the world.I want you to continue your education.I think I can get you into Johns Hopkins University.And I’m working on the money.”Finally,I was off to college.

One day I was walking from the parking lot to my first class,talking with my friend and classmate,and we passed by a group of men who were digging a deep ditch(沟渠)。Suddenly,I knew why I was in college. She was right-I had been given a gift that could take me to wonderful places.I decided then and there that I preferred to make my living with my brain rather than my back.I had been given a choice they didn’t have:an education.

Some years ago,as I reflected on the experience for many times,it occurred to me:”Maybe I could locate Mrs.Price.Maybe she’s still living in Westminster.I could go back there and visit her,bring her a gift,and really let her know how much I’m thankful for what she had done for me.”

So,I began to search online for information about where she might be.I soon discovered an article about her death,published in the Baltimore Sun and dated October 8,2001.

I suppose the lesson for me in this story-or one of the lessons-is this:If you love someone;if you thank them;if you’re grateful to them-tell them now.One day it will be too late.

Well...anyway...Mrs.Price,wherever you are-thank you.

【1】What problem did the author have when finishing high school?

A.He had no right to go to college. B.He couldn’t afford to go to college.

C.He had to follow his teacher’s advice. D.He had no choice but to join the army.

【2】We can infer from Paragraph 5 that

A.the author studied so hard in college B.the author looked down upon the workers

C.the author mistook Mrs.Price when young D.the author realized the importance of knowledge

【3】Years later,the author tried to find Mrs.Price because he wanted

A.to give her a hand B.to give her money back

C.to express his thanks to her D.to share his successful story

【4】Which of the following best describes Mrs.Price as a teacher?

A.Selfish but friendly. B.Mean but active. C.Warm-hearted and helpful. D.Kind and brave.

【5】What can be a suitable title for the passage?

A.Be yourself B.Thank you,Mrs.Price C.Hold on D.Goodbye,Mrs.Price

30、My day started just as usual. I left for the train station at 7:35 to arrive at work by 8:30. While on the train I would always choose a seat away from the crowd so I can read the newspaper peacefully and _______. I didn’t know why but for some reason when I got on the train today it was unusually _______. I sat down in the only seat available beside a middle-aged man who had his head down and seemed to be _______ in his thoughts. I was glad that he didn’t notice when I sat next to him because he just _______ to look down towards the floor.

Shortly after the train left I found myself _______ what could be so important that he didn’t even see me. I tried to forget about it. However, for some strange reason this inner _______ kept forcing me to talk to this man. I tried to ignore the voice _______ there was no way I was starting a conversation with a complete stranger. Finally I _______ and came up with an excuse to ask him a question. When he _______ his head, I could see that he had some tears rolling down the side of his face ________ his feeble (微弱的) attempt to wipe them away. We talked for about 20 minutes and in the end he seemed to be doing ________.

Several weeks had passed when I noticed an unaddressed envelope on my desk after returning from lunch. It only had the word ________ written on it. When I read the note inside the ________ I was so filled with emotions that I couldn’t ________ myself. It was a letter from the man I met on the train thanking me again for talking to him and ________ his life that day. Clearly he had some very hurtful personal problems that were ________ uncontrolled that he was planning to take his life that day.

In his letter he explained that he screamed out to God in despair (绝望) ________ if God really cared about him he would ________ someone to prevent him from taking his life. In his eyes I was that someone, that Angel sent by God.

So next time you feel prompted (冲动) for no ________ reason to talk to a friend, relative, neighbor or even a complete stranger please remember my story. You just may make a ________ to someone’s life when you listen to your inner voice.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

The view that the spirit of adventure no longer has any scope for its enterprise seems, at first glance, depressingly true. The highest mountains have been scaled; the deepest seas plumbed. Maps today no longer contain huge blanks marked "Unknown Territory", nor do they make random guesses at the shapes of 【1】 land-masses. All major journeys of exploration to 【2】 the true shape and nature of the globe have been made in the past. It was left to us to fill in the details with 【3】 which once would have been considered impossible. The gaps have been 【4】. What next?

The obvious answer, of course, is that man is now looking upwards into space. Discoveries are being made at such a tremendous rate that even authors of science-fiction are finding it difficult to keep up with them and have to tax their imagination to invent bigger and better space-craft. Satellites sending signals as they swing round our globe have become 【5】.

Astronauts have successfully landed on the moon and its entire surface has been photographed. The information that satellites may provide fueling stations for manned rockets no longer strikes us as preposterous. If thirty years ago, a scientist has urged that we send messages into outer space in the hope of receiving an answer, he would have been regarded as either irresponsible or mad. Now, anything seems 【6】.

From dreams like these, we return to earth with a bump. Trips into space are all very well, but they are not for us; we must 【7】 ourselves with our own, much-traveled world. The earth itself is the training-ground for adventurous spirits, for "adventure" need not mean the seeking out of something new. A person can be called adventurous when he finds out something for himself, and it does not matter how many times the discovery has been made before. No one would say that men who set out now to cross the forbidding Antarctic are less enterprising than their predecessors who tried to do the same thing. The little boy who climbs the small hill that 【8】 his town, or even he who tries to climbs and fails, has precisely the same spirit that led Hillary to climb Everest. For the bold spirit and inquiring mind, there are inexhaustible possibilities. So long as there are people willing to 【9】 places that are well-known, there will be those who will, one day, set foot on remote and 【10】 shores.
