Ⅲ.[2011·广东卷]阅读理解
A year after graduation，I was offered a position teaching a writing class.Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered，though several of my stories had been published.I accepted the job without hesitation，as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr.Davis.My father went by the same name，and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused.“Wait a minute，” someone might say，“are you talking about Mr.Davis the retired man，or Mr.Davis the respectable scholar？”
The position was offered at the last minute，and I was given two weeks to prepare，a period I spent searching for a briefcase (公文包) and standing before my full-length mirror，repeating the words，“Hello，class，I’m Mr.Davis.” Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice.Sometimes I would sound experienced.But when the day eventually came，my nerves kicked in and the true Mr.Davis was there.I sounded not like a thoughtful professor，but rather a 12-year-old boy.
I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves.I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper.I saw nine students along a long table.I handed out the cards，and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.
“All right then，” I said.“Okay，here we go.” Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment.I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk，offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day.I had imagined that I would sit on the edge of the desk，overlooking a forest of raised hands.Every student would shout to be heard，and I would knock on something in order to silence them.I would yell，“Calm down，you’ll all get your turn.One at a time，one at a time！”
A terrible silence ruled the room，and seeing no other options，I instructed the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.

A. He would be aggressive in his first class.
B. He was well-prepared for his first class.
C. He got nervous upon the arrival of his first class.
D. He waited long for the arrival of his first class.
38. Before he started his class，the author asked the students to ________.
A. write down their suggestions on the paper cards
B. cut maple leaves out of the construction paper
C. cut some cards out of the construction paper
D. write down their names on the paper cards
39. What did the students do when the author started his class?

课时作业(二十)
Ⅰ.1.B 表示“同意计划(plan)、建议(suggestion)、安排(arrangement)等”多用agree to；表示“就……达成一致意见”应用agree on。board委员会，董事会，(政府机关或商业)部门。
2．C be up to 表示“忙于，从事于”，其中to为介词，所以应排除连接副词why 和how；根据句意判断应选what引导宾语从句，表示“忙于什么”。
3．D 此题考查形容词词义的辨析。所用句型为“It would be ＋ adj.＋ for sb. to do sth.”。句意为：你方不方便四点钟来接我并带我去机场？convenient意为“方便的，便利的”，其反义词为inconvenient，它们的主语均不为人。free自由的，空闲的；vacant空白的；handy手边的，就近的，便于使用的，均可排除。
4．D 此题考查固定搭配sb. be familiar with sth.＝sth. be familiar to sb.意为“某人对某事比较熟悉(某事为某人所熟悉)”。
5．B 考查定语从句。在本句中先行词为degree，将其代入定语从句后应为：Human facial expressions can be controlled on purpose to a degree。
6．C 考查虚拟语气。demand(要求)后接从句时，从句中谓语部分使用虚拟语气，即由“should ＋动词原形”，should可以省略。需要注意的是，此句中“skilled workers”与“send”间为逻辑上的被动关系，故要用被动语态。
7．B 考查代词。none能够用来回答含“any＋名词”的疑问句。to speak of 一般用于否定句，相当于worth mentioning，在此处与none 连用引申为“没有困难”。
8．C 考查时态。由but可判断，此空表“与他已失去约5年的联系”之意，排除A项；lose touch with为短暂性动词短语，在肯定句不能与一段时间的状语搭配，故排除B项。由上下文语境可知，该空需用现在完成时，而不用过去完成时，故选C。
9．D 考查部分倒装。under no circumstances意为“决不”，置于句首时引起部分倒装。
10. C 考查非谓语动词。根据短语“rid sb.of sth.”可知逻辑主语the old man与该空动词为被动关系，故选C。
11．A 考查动词词义辨析。A项意为“否认”；B项意为“拒绝”；C项意为“拒绝，抵制”；D项意为“下降，谢绝”。根据句意“你仍然生她的气吗？”“不完全是，但是我无法否认她的评论伤了我。”可知选A项。
12．D 考查情态动词的用法。句意为：“布雷克还缺课吗？我想如果他继续缺课的话，他会受到惩罚。”这里指按照规定会受到惩罚，是shall的用法，故选D。本题容易误选其他答案，是因为对情态动词的用法没彻底掌握。
13．B 考查动词时态的用法。句意为：“我女儿这个夏天要到餐馆工作，但是她不太喜欢。”从but连接的第二个分句的时态和含义可知第一分句的时态是现在时，故排除A和C，而D项则表达经常性的动作和状态，和句意不符。is working在此是进行时表达将来时的含义，故选B。本题容易误选其他答案，主要是对时态的含义掌握不准。
14．A 考查冠词。句意为：大家都认为这里会有大量的淡水，但是令人失望的是事实却相反。此处supply表示“供应量”，为可数名词，故其前加不定冠词；此处opposite特指一件事情的“对立面”，为可数名词，故应用定冠词修饰。
15．A 句意为：“你已经找到工作了吗？”“没有，我正等着呢。”由语境可知，此处表示当前正在发生的动作，故用现在进行时。
Ⅱ.本文讲述“我”过去为Tony送生日礼物的故事，以及这次带着Tony去商店选择礼物的经历，通过故事可知Tony是个非常好动，且是一个具有丰富想象力的孩子。
16．D 根据首句中的“uncle”可知四个选项中Tony是他的“侄子”或“外甥”。
17．B 根据本句中的“their dear son”可推测这里指的是Tony的父母。
18．A 句意为“赠送给Tony一瓶浆糊和一些图片”，present sb. with sth. 意思是“赠送某人某物”，其他的三个选项分别意为“使某人恼怒”、“使某人迷惑”及“占据、占有”均不合适。
19．C 与paste及后文的covered every wall相对应，此处用sticking“粘贴”。
20．D 由于以前的礼物不能令Tony满意，所以“我”今年决定让他自己挑选。前后句为因果关系，故选D项。
21．B 根据下文的内容可知，“我”是打算让Tony自己选礼物，四个选项分别意为“猜”、“选择”、“付款”及“看见”，故B正确。
22．B 根据后面的“尽管我一件又一件给他看玩具……”可知此处选toys合适。
23．A 本段首句“was very particular about …”可知他很挑剔，及本句中的although可知只有“高兴”合适，另外三个选项的意思分别为“打扰”、“接受”与“失望”。
24．D 根据句意“…… 他发现了他确实喜欢的东西。”可知他突然变得“兴奋”。A项意为“吃惊的”，B项意为“有希望的”，C项意为“有耐心的”均不合适。
25．B 句意“________我想到他的妈妈会说什么，我也非常高兴”，对比四个连词after“在……之后”，until“直到”，unless“除非”，since“自从”，故B符合语境。
26．C Tony选的是drum，作者的意思是“接下来的数周，人们都会不得安宁”，只有peace合适。
27．D 根据上文中“我”的想法，因此对比四个选项happily“幸福地”，eagerly“渴望地”，cautiously“小心地”，quickly“快速地”，此处意为“我快速地引他走开”，其余三个选项的感情色彩均不符合语境。
28．A 句意为“Tony请求走开________”，对比四个选项：A项“独自地”，B项“挡道”，C项“时而，不时地”，D项“或多或少”，以及后面寻找Tony的经历，可知此处为“独自走开一会儿”。
29．B 与“疼痛的脚”搭配，rest“休息、放松”最合适。
30．C 由于十五分钟内都没有发现Tony的踪迹，因此“我”变得________。对比四个选项：A“羞愧的”，B“生气的”，C“着急的”，D“怀疑的”，故C最合适。
31．A 根据语境“该女士无助地________，指出四周有如此多的穿着灰色套装的________”look与四个选项搭配，分别表示“向四周看”、“指望、依赖、照顾”、“看……”及“穿过……看”可知只有A合适。
32．D 因为“我”询问的是“a little boy”，可知此处用small boys最恰当。
33．A “我正要报警时，我看见一个穿着奇怪的______”，根据后文可知这是Tony，因此只有figure“人物”合适。
34．B 根据语境看到Tony的装束，让“我”________想到了……，及四个选项A“按时”，B“立刻”，C“刚刚”，D“又一次”，可知B项合适。
35．C 根据上文中的“caveman’s axe”可知此处选caveman合适。
Ⅲ.本文是一篇记叙文。作者叙述了自己成为老师后所上的第一节课的情景：和自己事先预想的大不一样，这节课很沉闷，令作者很失望。
36．A 细节理解题。根据文章第一段I accepted the job without hesitation，as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis.可知选A。
37．C 推理判断题。根据文章第二段But when the day eventually came，my nerves kicked in and the true Mr. Davis was there. I sounded not like a thoughtful professor，but rather a 12-year-old boy.可知选C。
38．D 细节理解题。根据文章第三段I handed out the cards，and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.可知选D。
39．B 细节理解题。根据文章第五段A terrible silence ruled the room，and seeing no other options可知选B。
40．A 推理判断题。根据文章的第四段可知，作者想象他的第一节课学生会很积极地发言表达自己的观点，自己只能让学生一个一个地说。没想到的是自己的第一节课竟然一片寂静，没有人发言，所以作者很失望。故选A。
