Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Twelve years ago,I arrived in
Central Florida from Puerto Rico.I had heard of a job opportunity and decided to pursue it.But it never became a reality.I quickly learned that being alone without resources in an unfamiliar city was not a comfortable situation to be in.
Once my limited funds ran out I became homeless and spent a year and a half living on the streets of Orlando.Apart from feeling not being noticed and missing my family,I had to face another challenge—hunger.
For the first time in my life,I,as a foreign man,who had lived my life in the relative comfort of the middle class,understood the desperation someone feels when they don’t get enough to eat.I clearly remembered having run a distance of more than 7 miles on many occasions just to make it to a local feeding program before they closed at 7 p.m.
Once the need for food was met,the next challenge would arise—where to find a place to sleep for the night.Fortunately,local programs like the Coalition for the Homeless,Second Harvest Food Bank and the Wayne Densch Center were an important part of my ability to survive my painful experience.
With the assistance of these programs,I was accepted by a college scholarship program through the Coalition and obtained two degrees from Valencia.
My experience has helped me understand that devoting my life to helping others offers lasting rewards.Today,I am employed as Childhood Hunger Programs Manager at Second Harvest Food Bank and oversees the summer feeding,HiFive Kids Pack,and Kids Café programs.I am also proud to be able to distribute(分配) food resources to those wonderful programs and help hundreds more people like me.

B
I once knew a high school teacher who made,in my mind,a curious comment.Referring to a naughty student,he remarked,with a tone of gloomy resignation,“People don’t change.”I knew the kid well.He was what one would call a “juvenile delinquent(不良少年)”.But if schooling held no promise of making positive changes in kids,what was the point of teaching?
My own son,Alyosha,growing up,was athletic,energetic,and occasionally hard to handle.But he never showed the least interest in tools,or working with his hands in any way.The result was that he couldn’t tell a screwdriver from a paintbrush.I recall one day when I fussed under the car,calling out him to bring me an adjustable wrench(活动扳手).He fetched a pair of pliers(钳子).“No,” I pleaded while trying to hold an oily car part in place.“Pliers.” He went back into the garage and returned with a bar.“No,no,” I corrected him.“The adjustable wrench!For loosening a nut.” To which,in his own defence,he exclaimed, “Well,I don’t know!”
Years passed.And then,one day,well into his 20s,he told me he had decided on a technical school:machinery technology.I nodded approvingly,but already knew that it was a challenging field,full of moving parts,tools,and dreaded math.
During his period in Coast Guard technical school I thought about him daily,wondering what the outcome would be.I had prepared myself for the phone call telling me it was just too much and that he was being sent to sea as a deckhand.
It didn’t happen.The phone did ring,but it was Alyosha asking me to fly to Virginia to attend his graduation and pin his new rank on his collar.I couldn’t have been prouder.
As I stood before my son,Alyosha,standing at attention and staring dead ahead,glanced at me.“You want me to help you,Dad?”he said.“Always,”I answered,“but not this time.”
Yeah,people do change.And,in my experience,it’s usually something to see.
5.The first paragraph implies that the teacher thought
.
A.people can be easily changed by teaching
B.the boy was really hopeless
C.naughty students need no schooling

6.It is implied in the second paragraph that Alyosha
.

B.was usually hard to deal with
C.had a poor ability of using his hands
D.didn’t want to give a hand to his father
7.According to the author,a technical school
.
A.was a correct choice for Alyosha to make
B.might satisfy Alyosha’s interest in mechanics
C.was suitable for Alyosha to attend
D.would be a challenge for Alyosha

B.Alyosha invited him to attend his graduation.
C.Alyosha asked him to offer help with his lessons.
D.Alyosha got high marks in his examinations.
Ⅱ.七选五
Some students prefer to learn by themselves.They think they can learn better in this way because they have more freedom,pressure and independence.There is some truth in their way.
9
It is better to have a teacher,especially when they learn something more difficult.
First,a teacher can act as a guide to lead you to success.When you learn,you need help and advice.A teacher will give you a hand when you face difficulties.
10
What is more,a teacher puts real pressure on you.If you study by yourself,you must be strongminded enough to keep on.
11
But under the guidance of a teacher,you will feel there is always someone to watch you.The teacher may give you homework to do.You must complete the homework,or you will not pass the course.
Last but not least,studying with a teacher will help you receive the benefit of the teacher’s knowledge.
12
They teach students how to learn and how to obtain information.They guide all of you in class to discuss the material and provide extra material to broaden the scope of the topic.
13
I choose to learn in a big family—my school.Without a teacher,I would feel there would be no fun and no pressure.I could not learn well in such dull and depressing circumstances.
A.Besides,teachers are connected with our life.
B.Teachers can help you solve all of your problems.
C.In short,I prefer to go to class studying with a teacher.
D.Without a guide,you would be searching in darkness.
E.And you may become inactive for lack of a strong will.
F.But they fail to see the advantages of learning with a teacher.
G.In class,teachers do more than just going over the material in the text.
