　　(2011·广东高考)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 full­length 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 12­year­old 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.

　　1．The author took the job to teach writing because ________.

　　A．he wanted to be respected

　　B．he had written some stories

　　C．he wanted to please his father

　　D．he had dreamed of being a teacher

　　2．What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 2?

　　A．He would be aggressive in his first class.

　　B．He was well­prepared 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.

　　3．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

　　4．What did the students do when the author started his class?

　　A．They began to talk.

　　B．They stayed silent.

　　C．They raised their hands.

　　D．They shouted to be heard.

　　答案与解析

　　[语篇解读]　本文为记叙文。毕业之后，“我”成为了一名写作教师，但是“我”的第一堂课却没有达到预期的效果，这令“我”非常失望。

　　1．A　事实细节题。根据第一段可知，教师是“我”从未想过的职业，尽管“我”以前发表过几部小说。但是“我”想像父亲一样成为受人尊敬的人。由此可知，“我”从事这份工作是为了受到别人的尊敬。

　　2．C　推理判断题。第二段讲到，在第一堂课之前，“我”花费时间挑选公文包，站在镜子前面反复练习，尤其是从“But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in...”一句可以看出，“我”在第一堂课到来时非常紧张。

　　3．D　事实细节题。根据第三段“I handed out the cards，and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.”可知，“我”要求学生把名字写在卡片上，并固定在胸前。故答案为D项。

　　4．B　事实细节题。由最后一段“A terrible silence ruled the room，...”可知，学生们并未像“我”事先想象的那样踊跃发言，而是保持沉默。故答案为B项。

　　B

　　(2011·四川高考)“Experience may possibly be the best teacher, but it is not a particularly good teacher.” You might think that Winston Churchill or perhaps Mark Twain spoke those words, but they actually come from James March, a professor at Stanford University and a pioneer in the field of organizational decision making.For years March (possibly the wisest philosopher of management) has studied how humans think and act, and he continues to do so in his new book The Ambiguities of Experience.

　　He begins by reminding us of just how firmly we have been sticking to the idea of experiential learning：“ Experience is respected; experience is sought; experience is explained.” The problem is that learning from experience involves (涉及) serious complications(复杂化), ones that are part of the nature of experience itself and which March discusses in the body of this book.

　　In one interesting part of the book，for example, he turns a doubtful eye toward the use of stories as the most effective way of experiential learning.In our efforts to make stories interesting, he argues, we lose part of the complicated truth of things.He says “The more accurately(精确地) reality is presented, the less understandable the story, and the more understandable the story, the less realistic it is.”

　　Besides being a broadly knowledgeable researcher, March is also a poet, and his gift shines through in the depth of views he offers and the simple language he uses.Though the book is short, it is demanding：Don't pick it up looking for quick, easy lessons.Rather, be ready to think deeply about learning from experience in work and life.

　　1．According to the text, James March is ________.

　　A．a poet who uses experience in his writing

　　B．a teacher who teaches story writing in university

　　C．a researcher who studies the way humans think and act

　　D．a professor who helps organizations make important decisions

　　2．According to James March, experience ________.

　　A．is overvalued

　　B．is easy to explain

　　C．should be actively sought

　　D．should be highly respected

　　3．What can we learn from Paragraph 3?

　　A．Experience makes stories more accurate.

　　B．Stories made interesting fail to fully present the truth.

　　C．The use of stories is the best way of experiential learning.

　　D．Stories are easier to understand when reality is more accurately described.

　　4．What's the purpose of this text?

　　A．To introduce a book.

　　B．To describe a researcher.

　　C．To explain experiential learning.

　　D．To discuss organizational decision making.

　　答案与解析

　　[语篇解读]　本文为说明文。简要介绍了James March(斯坦福大学的教授)的一本新书The Ambiguities of Experience的主要内容。

　　1．C　细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知，March多年来研究人类的思维和行为方式，所以C项正确。根据第一段中的“a pioneer in the field of organizational decision making”可排除D项。

　　2．A　推理判断题。根据第二段第一句可知他在新书的开始提到他坚持的经验学习的理念就是“Experience is respected；experience is sought；experience is explained.”。B、C、D三项太片面，只有A项是全面概括。

　　3．B　细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句的句意：他说，现实被呈现得越精确，就越难理解这个故事；故事越容易理解，就越不现实。可得出B项正确，排除D项。根据第三段的第一句话可知故事的利用并非经验学习最有效的方式，可排除C项。A项本段未提及。

　　4．A　主旨大意题。通读全文，可知作者写这篇文章的主要目的就是介绍了James March(斯坦福大学的教授)的一本新书The Ambiguities of Experience的主要内容。
