核心考点
试题【My parents used to tell me how important school was for me, but I didn’t think s】；主要考察你对
日常生活类等知识点的理解。
[详细]举一反三
“Who did this?” asked my teacher. Thirty children tried to think about not only what they had done, but also what our teacher might have found out.
“Who did this?” she asked again. She never became angry, but she was this time. She held up a piece of broken glass and asked, “Who broke this window?”
“Oh, oh,” I thought. I was the one who broke the window. I did not do it on purpose (故意). It was caused by a bad throw of a baseball. Why did it have to be me?
If I admitted (承认) it, I would be in a lot of trouble. How would I be able to pay for a big window like that? “My father is going to get angry at me,” I thought. I didn’t want to raise (举起) my hand, but something much stronger than me pulled it up.
“I did it,” I said. Then I was silent. It was hard enough saying what I had.
My teacher went to one of our bookshelves and took down a book. She then began walking towards my desk. I had never known my teacher to strike (打) a student, but I feared she was going to start with me.
“I know how you like birds,” she said as she stood looking down at my face. “Here is the field guide about birds (鸟类野外指南) that you always check out from our school library. It is yours now. We have got a new one for the school. You will not be punished (惩罚). But remember, it’s only for your honesty.”
I couldn’t believe it! I wasn’t being punished and I was getting my own bird field guide, the one that I had been saving up all my money to buy.
小题1:How did the writer feel when he saw his teacher walking towards him with a book from bookshelves?| A．Relaxed. | B．Pleased. | C．Frightened. | D．Guilty. |

将下列各段按照正确的顺序重新排序，使文章通顺。| A． Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. | | B． Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds. “In fact, parents are first on the list.” Said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for parents with Teenagers. “This completely changes during the teen years.” Riera explained. “They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.” | | C．And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them. | | D．Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to sit in my arms on the sofa and talk with me,”said Mark. “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is figuring out which time is which.” |
E. Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers. But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son: Suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always shut,” Joanna noted. |
“You speak very good English”
The other day I heard an American say to a Chinese student of English. “You 1 very good English.” But the student answered, “ No, my English is very poor.” The foreigner was quite
2 at the answer. Thinking he had not made himself 3 or the student had not heard him clearly, he said, “Yes, indeed, you speak it very well.” But the Chinese student still 4 saying “No”. 5 the foreigner gave up and didn’t know what to say.
What’s wrong with the student’s answer? It is because he didn’t accept a compliment as the American people 6 . He should have said “Thank you” instead of “No”. He actually understood what the American had said. But he thought he should be modest. If someone says to a woman, “ You look 7 beautiful with the new clothes 8 .” she should be very happy and answer, “Thank you.” In our country we think 9 modest is a virtue and showing off is a bad behavior. But in the West, if you are modest and say, “ No, 10 I can’t do it well,” then the others will take it for granted (理所当然)that you 11 can not do it. If you often say,“No”, you will certainly be looked down upon by 12 . When 13 for a job, if one says something like “Yes, I can certainly do it” instead of “ Let me have a try on the job”, he or she can expect to get it. So in the West, one should always be confident. 14 self-confidence, he can’t go anywhere. Confidence is of great 15 to one in a country where competition is quite keen.(激烈)
