阅读理解, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
Having a great teacher can be life-changing. Mr. Goodney, my 9th grade Advanced English teacher, pushed me in ways I hadn’t been pushed in the classroom previously. He didn’t grade me compared to my classmates;he graded us on a personal grading scale.Mr. Goodney encouraged me but I just couldn’t seem to please Mr. Goodney, no matter how hard I worked.I continued to see the dreaded Bs, sometimes even a C, so frequently that I said goodbye to my hopes of being a middle student. I was a really diligent nerd(令人厌烦的人).
Yet at the end of the semester when report cards came out, I had an “A” next to my English class, and I realized that the letter he had written on my report card was just a way to make me work harder than I ever had.He made me push myself to think deeper, write better, and analyze more thoroughly. He didn’t hate me as I initially thought, and I looked back embarrassed about all those times when I showed frustration and dissatisfaction with a returned grade.
He would write a positive comment on one of my papers that would invigorate_me to work even harder even if I made a little bit progress. These sporadic (零星的) good words would motivate me to do whatever it took to earn those praising comments on my next paper and push me to try and top my last assignment. After we all improved he expected perfection and those high standards made all of us better writers, creators, good students, and useful people.
Mr. Goodney inspired me to become an English teacher although I felt like I fell below his standards in a classroom. Now I have become a high school teacher. Thinking of him from time to time makes me try to come up with fresh and creative teaching ways just as he did.
From my experience I believe a good teacher is very important. Mr. Goodney inspires me to this day, and I wish I could travel back to the 9th grade for just one day in the old classroom, so I can fully thank him, which I didn’t do at that time.
1. According to the passage, Mr. Goodney graded the author________.
A.in order to encourage him
B.according to his real marks
C.compared to his classmates
D.as most teachers usually do
2. What do we know about the author from the passage?A. He only did well in English and often got praises.
B.He didn’t study his lessons hard enough.
C.He got good marks on one of his report cards.
D.He had confidence in becoming a top student.
3. The underlined words “invigorate me” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by________.
A.take pity on me
B.encourage me
C.play tricks on me
D.offer me help
4.After getting a positive comment, the author________.
A.tried to do better next time
B.thought his teacher liked him best
C.thanked his teacher immediately
D.felt proud of him too much
[解题导语] 一个好的老师可以改变一个人的命运。作者永远不会忘记自己在九年级时的英语老师。在他的鼓励和帮助下,作者终于成为了有用之才。
1. 解析:选A。细节理解题。从文章第一段中的... he graded us on a personal grading scale和第二段中的Mr. Goodney encouraged me... 可知,这位老师在教育孩子方面的不同, 他是按学生的个人情况给打分,借此来鼓励孩子。

(2017·哈尔滨市质检,B)
Bursting into the classroom from recess (课间休息), 15 children take their seats and face the
woman they know as Ms. Yang.
“What day is it today?” she asks, in Mandarin Chinese (普通话).
“Confucius' birthday!” the fifth graders shout in Mandarin.
“Why do we celebrate Confucius' birthday?”
“Because he's the greatest teacher in the history of China!” exclaims a brownhaired girl.
She is speaking Mandarin.
English is rarely heard in Lisa Yang's class at the Chinese American International School
(CAIS), despite the fact that few students are native speakers of Mandarin.
The United States is actively trying to increase the group of students in “critical languages”
such as Mandarin. The students at CAIS are way ahead in such a trend.
Founded 25 years ago, this small private school in San Francisco, USA, does what few other American schools do: It produces fully fluent speakers of Mandarin Chinese, by far the most
commonly spoken language in the world.
Mandarin Chinese is suddenly hot in American schools.
As China becomes the world's
leading economy sometimes this century, schools in the U. S. are scrambling to add Mandarin to
their list of foreign languages or expand Chinese programs already in place.
?It really is almost unprecedented (无前例的). People are looking at China as a force to be reckoned with... And to ensure that the U. S. has the ability to conduct trade, and to work with the Chinese, certainly having an understanding of Chinese language and culture is an advantage,” said Marty Abbott of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages(ACTFL).
To develop Chineselanguage programs has not been smooth. A shortage of trained teachers
has made it difficult for some schools to join the race. When schools do get teachers, they often
hire them straight from China, and the teachers usually suffer culture shock when they come to the U. S.
Robert Liu remembers his first two years in an American classroom.
It was not an easy adjustment. ?In China, students respect their teachers,” he said.
Liu found that American students, however, expect an active teaching style. He had to use games to engage them rather than lectures.
To avoid many of the problems with foreign teaching styles, the CAIS has been working with the Chinese government to improve training of teachers who are sent to the U. S.
文章大意:本文为一篇说明文。随着中国经济地位的增长,美国的很多学校掀起了学习汉语的热潮。
5.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Understanding Chinese language and culture is helpful to work with Chinese.
B.Chineselanguage programs have met trouble during the development.
C.Many other American schools do the same as CAIS, founded 25 years ago.
D.A lack of trained Mandarin Chinese teachers is a problem for the programs.
答案:C 推理判断题。根据文章第八段第一句“Founded 25 years ago, this small private school in San Francisco, USA, does what few other American schools do...”可知,C项中“Many other American schools”表述错误。故答案选C。
6.What kind of problem is the most difficult to adjust in teaching Chinese in America?
A.To adapt themselves to the American life styles.
B.To communicate with the American students.
C.To get along well with the American students.
D.To be fit for the cultural differences in teaching styles.
答案:D 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段最后一句中的“the teachers usually suffer culture shock when they come to the U. S.”和倒数第二段内容可知,中国老师到美国任教时,遭遇到的最大问题就是文化冲击,由于教学风格的不同,老师们需要做出很大的调整。故答案选D。
7.The meaning of the underlined word “scrambling” is similar to
________.
A.climbing
B.rushing
C.changing
D.beating
答案:B 词义猜测题。根据第九段画线词上下句内容可知,画线词所在句的句意为:由于中国将会成为本世纪领先的经济体,很多美国学校正在加紧将普通话列入他们的外语名单当中或扩大现在已有的汉语项目。因此,画线词应为“加速,加紧”之意,故答案选B。
8.It can be learned from the passage that ________.
A.the students in Lisa Yang's class usually speak Chinese
B.there are few American students in Lisa Yang's class
C.we celebrate Confucius' birthday because he's the greatest history teacher
D.in America the students don't respect their teachers
答案:A 细节理解题。根据第六段中“English is rarely heard in Lisa Yang's class...”可知,在杨老师的课堂上很少用英语。A项表述正确。故答案选A。根据第五段的内容可知,C项错误;B、D两项在原文中没有涉及。故排除。
阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
(2017·哈尔滨市质检,C)
Your name made you do it, though unconsciously, suggests new research that finds your name can negatively make you achieve less.
Psychologists at Yale and the University of California, San Diego studying the unconscious influence of names say a preference for our own names and initials—the ?nameletter effect?—can have some negative consequences.
Students whose names begin with C or D get lower grades than those whose names begin with A or B; major league baseball players whose first or last names began with K are significantly more likely to strike out.
Assistant professors Leif Nelson of UCSD and Joseph Simmons of Yale have conducted five studies over five years using information from thousands of individuals.
“The conscious process is that baseball players want to get a hit and students want to get A's,” Nelson says. “So if you get a change in performance in agreement with the nameletter effect, it clearly shows there must be some unconscious desire operating in the other direction.”
The researchers' work supports a series of studies published since 2002 that have found the “nameletter effect” causes people to make life choices based on names that resemble (类似) their own. Those studies by Brett Pelham, an associate professor at SUNY University, have found that people are disproportionately (不定比例地) likely to live in states or cities resembling their names, have careers that resemble their names and even marry those whose surnames begin with the same letter as their own.
The twist, says, is that he has believed the nameletter effect would apply only to positive outcomes. Nelson and Simmons, he says, are “showing it applies more so to negative things than positive things.”
The researchers say the effect is definitely more of a coincidence (巧合) than a fact. “I know plenty of Chrises and Davids who have done very well in school,” Pelham says.
文章大意:本文为一篇议论文。加州和耶鲁大学的心理学家通过研究发现,名字与成功之间存在着“姓名-字母效应”,而对此结果,有些研究人员则表示否定,认为这不过是巧合而已。
9.The new research is mainly about the relationship between one's ________.
A.name and unconsciousness
B.name and characteristics
C.name and success
D.sports and school achievements
答案:C 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第一句“... new research that finds your name can negatively make you achieve less.”可知,这项研究发现,尽管是无意识的,但你的名字会对你的成功有一些消极影响。因此可推断出,这项研究主要是研究姓名与成功之间的关系。故答案选C。
10.Who may serve as an example to show the “nameletter effect”?
A.Miss Smith working as a lawyer.
B.Mr. Watt living in Washington.
C.Charles Brown married to Sue Rogers.
D.Paula Snow fond of the color white.
答案:B 推理判断题。根据第五段第一句中的“... ‘nameletter effect’ causes people to make life choices based on names that resemble (类似) their own”可知,“姓名-字母效应”使得人们选择与自己姓名字母相似的城市去生活。因此B项“Mr. Watt living Washington”是个很好的例子,因为他的名字的开头字母与城市的开头字母是“W”。故答案选B。
11.The last paragraph mainly tells us that the “nameletter effect” ________.
A.isn't believed in by many people
B.doesn't work with certain names
C.does not really exist
D.is often too little to show
答案:D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段内容可知,Pelham认为这项研究的结果纯属巧合,据他所知,很多以C或D为开头字母姓名的人成绩就很好。因此,他认为这种“姓名-字母效应”的研究结果没什么作用。故答案选D。

On Wednesday afternoon we, in our classroom, held a class meeting on the theme of focusing on mental health of middle school students, and all the classmates together with our head teacher and our psychology teacher attended the meeting. At the meeting, we discussed some mental problems, which mainly referred not only to exam anxiety, wayward behavior and violent temper all leading to students’ unwillingness to communicate with others, but also to turning a deaf ear to their parents or teachers in the adolescent treachery period. But how do we deal with these problems? First, we are supposed to take an active part in all kinds of collective activities, and then stick to taking physical exercise regularly every day. Finally, we should learn to keep a positive and cheerful attitude towards our life.

A Warm Welcome
A boy quarreled with his parents and ran away from home. He had a hard life without any contact with his family for years. Later he wanted to go home but he was afraid that his parents might not welcome him.
Finally he decided to send a letter to his father expressing his desire to return home and begging his pardon. In his letter he asked his father to tie a white ribbon on the tree near his house by the side of the railway lines if he was ready to welcome him back home. If he did not see the ribbon on the tree, he would think that his family did not welcome him and then he would leave them forever.
He boarded the train and became very nervous as the train was about to pass by his home. To his surprise, the tree was fully decorated with hundreds of white ribbons which danced in the wind. His family did not want him to miss the sight of the ribbon and the welcome signal, so they covered the whole tree with ribbons to show their whole-hearted happiness and willingness to welcome him back.

A boy quarreled with his parents and left home. After years of hard life, he wrote a letter to his father, asking if he would welcome him back. In fact, his parents had been whole-heartedly expecting his return!
I am deeply moved by the story. And it reminds me of my father.
At my junior school, my father never showed his love to me, so I thought he did not love me and sometimes I was upset about it. However, when I left home for senior school, he called me frequently and just asked me, “How’s your study and life? When will you come back?”
Gradually, I realized that he missed me although he would never say it out.
Indeed, fathers’ love is like a mountain. It’s heavy because they devote all their love to us and it’s silent because they do not know how to express it. Faced with their love, we should accept it silently to show our appreciation.
