阅读理解。     When Andrea Peterson landed her first teaching job, she faced the daunting task of creating a music
program with almost no money for equipment or supplies in a climate where standards-based learning
was the focus and music just provided a break for students and teachers.
     For her drive and creativity in overcoming those challenges, she"s been name national teacher of the
year.
    Principal Waynes Kettler said he"s worked with many outstanding teachers in his 22 years as an educator,
but Peterson is "just that one step above anybody I"ve ever worked with before."
     Kettler and others at Monte Cristo Elementary School talk about the ways she has introduced the learning
from other classrooms into her music program and her creativity in working around things such as the
lack of money for new music.
     When students were reading S.E. Hinton"s novel The Outsiders in their regular classroom, Peterson
helped them write a 30-minute play with scenes from the book. Then they chose three Broadway tunes that
focused on race, equality and social justice, the themes of the book. Peterson composed two other sons
herself after classroom discussions about the play and the book.
     The honor means a lot to residents of Granie Falls. It"s inspiring to know that people from small towns
can even win national honors.
    As national teacher of the year, Peterson will spend the next year outside classroom, as a national and
international spokeswoman for education.
     Not surprisingly, she is a big believer in the value of arts education. She said it"s essential for schools
to offer classes such as art or music and physical education because for some kids one of those subjects
is the only thing that motivates them to come back to school day after day. 1. The underlined word "daunting" in Paragraph 1 most probably means ___. A. discouraging
B. interesting
C. creative
D. unbearable 2. When Peterson began her teaching career, _____. A. music was focus of learning in most schools.
B. the environment was favorable to music teaching.
C. the school lacked teaching facilities for music.
D. financial support for music programs was unavailable. 3. What is the most important reason that Peterson won the award? A. She concerned herself with current social problems.
B. She motivated students to learn music with her creativity.
C. She has taught music at the elementary school for 22 years.
D. She made great efforts to arouse students" interest in literature. 4. Which of the following is an example of Peterson"s way of teaching music? A. She wrote plays on themes of race, equality and social justice.
B. She made use of the contents of other classes in her teaching.
C. She organized classroom discussions of Broadway tunes.
D. She helped students compose songs by themselves. 5. In Peterson"s opinion, ____.A. art, music and PE classes are all important.
B. more subjects should be offered to students.
C. students should be motivated to attend art classes.
D. arts education is more important than other subjects. 6. It can be inferred from the text that ____. A. Peterson"s honor was a surprise for the local people.
B. Peterson"s art classes attracted students back to school.
C. Peterson aroused the local residents" passion for music.
D. Peterson will change her profession next year.

完型填空。     We arrived in Spain for the first time a few weeks ago. I decided to   1   a car because we had sold the
one we had in England before   2   home. Yesterday the sales office rang us to say the car was   3 . I had
tried out a model like it before, but as I was not yet   4   driving in this city, my wife did not want me to
collect it   5 so we went together to   6   it. We paid for the car and   7   the papers. They told us that there
was   8   petrol (汽油) to take us to a garage, where we could fill up. The   9   garage to the office was about
100 yards away and we got there  10 . But when I turned into main road I suddenly saw a lot of cars racing
  11  me. I got out of  12  as fast as I could by backing into the garage  13  and the man behind  14  me.
     "It"s such a problem to  15  to drive on the right side, isn"t it?" my wife said. "Yes, if only I had had a few
lessons for  16 ." I replied. "You had better go  17  on the way home," my wife said. "You"d be sorry if you
had  18  on the first day, wouldn"t you?" While we were talking, the man behind got out of his car and said in
good English, "Would you mind telling me  19  you are thinking of leaving?  20  are you going to sit in your
car all day?"

     Growing up in Philadelphia, Lieberman started cooking with his stay-at-home dad when he was seven.
His food-loving family had two kitchens, and he quickly learned what was the best way to bake his cakes.
Lieberman improved his kitchen skills greatly during a year abroad before college, learning from a cook in
Italy and studying local specialties (地方特色菜) in Germany, Spain and France. At Yale, he was known
for throwing dinner parties, single-handedly frying and baking while mixing drinks for dozens of friends.
Just for fun, he and some friends decided to tape a show named Campus Cuisine about his cooking.
Lieberman was a real college student showing his classmates how to do things like make drinks out of dining-
hall fruit. That helped the show become very popular among the students. They would stop Lieberman after
classes to ask for his advice on cooking. Tapes of the show were passed around, with which his name went
beyond the school and finally to the Food Network.
     Food Network producer Flay hopes the young cook will find a place on the network television. He says
Lieberman"s charisma is key. "Food TV isn"t about food anymore," says Flay. "It"s about your personality
(个性) and finding a way to keep people"s eyeballs on your show."
     But Lieberman isn"t putting all his eggs in one basket. After taping the first season of the new how,
Lieberman was back in his won small kitchen preparing sandwiches. An airline company (航空公司) was
looking for some one to come up with a tasteful, inexpensive and easy-to-make menu to serve on its flights,
Lieberman got the job.

     It"s fourteen years since I left the Philippines to live with my family in the USA. A month ago, while on
summer vacation back in my motherland, I learned a lesson from mosquito (蚊子) bites. Right before   1

  5 to the mosquitoes. " Not   6 it, I replied, "Grandma, that"s just an old wives" tale!"
     Well, less than a week   7 my arrival in Manila, I was already carpeted with a   8 of mosquito bites. I
took many measures to keep myself from being   9 , but they all proved useless.

Jim suffered heart problems. In conversation he expressed little joy and it seemed that his life was drawing to a close. When his heart problems led to operation, Jim went through it successfully, and a full recovery was expected. Within days, however, his heart was not beating properly. Jim was rushed back to operation, but nothing was found to explain the cause of his illness. He died on the operating table on the day before his 48th birthday. Dr. Bruce Smoller, a psychologist (心理学家), had had many conversations with him, and the more he learned, the stranger he realized Jim"s case was. When Jim was a child, his father, a teacher, suffered a heart attack and stayed home to recover. One morning Jim asked his father to look over his homework, promising to come home from school at noon to pick it up. His father agreed, but when Jim returned his father had died. Jim"s father was 48. "I think all his life Jim believed he killed his father," Dr. Smoller says."He felt that if he had not asked him to look at his homework, his father would have lived. Jim had been troubled by the idea. The operation was the trial (判决) he had expected for forty years." Smoller believes that Jim willed himself not to live to the age of 48. Jim"s case shows the powerful role that attitude (态度) plays in physical health, and that childhood experiences produce far-reaching effect on the health of grown-ups. Although most cases are less direct than Jim"s, studies show that childhood events, besides genes, may well cause such midlife diseases as cancer, heart disease and mental illness.
1. Jim was sent back to operation because _____.
A. his heart didn"t work well B. he expected a full recovery C. his life was drawing to a close D. the first one wasn"t well performed
2. What made Dr. Smoller feel strange about Jim"s case?
A. Jim died at a young age. B. Jim died on the operating table. C. Both Jim and his father died of the same disease. D. Jim"s death is closely connected with his father"s.
3. From Smoller"s words, we can infer that ______.
A. Jim"s father cared little about his study B. Smoller agreed that Jim did kill his father C. Jim thought he would be punished some day D. Smoller believed Jim wouldn"t live to the age of 48
4. Which of the following could have strong effect on one"s physical health according to the text.? a. One"s genes. b. One"s life in childhood. c. One"s physical education. d. The date of one"s birthday. e. The opinions one has about something.
A. a, b, d B. a, b, e C. a, c, e D. b, c, d

I entered high school having read hundreds of books. But I was not a good reader. Merely bookish, I lacked a point of view when I read. Rather, I read in order to get a point of view. I searched books for good expressions and sayings, pieces of information, ideas, themes-anything to enrich my thought and make me feel educated. When one of my teachers suggested to his sleepy tenth-grade English class that a person could not have a"complicated (复杂的) idea" until he had read at least two thousand books, I heard the words without recognizing either its irony (嘲讽) or its very complicated truth. I merely determined to make a list of all the books I had ever read. Strict with myself, I included only once a title I might have read several times. (How, after all, could one read a book more than once?) And I included only those books over a hundred pages in length. (Could anything shorter be a book?) There was yet another high school list I made. One day I came across a newspaper article about an English professor at a nearby state college. The article had a list of the"hundred most important books of Western Civilization.""More than anything else in my life, " the professor told the reporter with finality," these books have made me all that I am." That was the kind of words I couldn"t ignore (忽视). I kept the list for the several months it took me to read all of the titles. Most books, of course, I hardly understood. While reading Plato"s The Republic, for example, I needed to keep looking at the introduction of the book to remind myself what the text was about. However, with the special patience and superstition (迷信) of a schoolboy, I looked at every word of the text. And by me time I reached the last word, pleased, I persuaded myself that I had read The Republic, and seriously crossed Plato off my list.
1. On heating the teacher"s suggestion of reading, the writer thought ______.
A. one must read as many books as possible B. a student should not have a complicated idea C. it was impossible for one to read two thousand books D. students ought to make a list of the books they had read
2. While at high school, the writer ______.
A. had plans for reading B. learned to educate himself C. only read books over 100 pages D. read only one book several times
3. The underlined phrase "with finality" probably means _____.
A. firmly B. clearly C. proudly D. pleasantly
4. The writer"s purpose in mentioning The Republic is to _____.
A. explain why it was included in the list B. describe why he seriously crossed it off the list C. show that he read the books blindly though they were hard to understand D. prove that he understood most of it because he had looked at every word
5. The writer provides two book lists to ______.
A. show how he developed his point of view B. tell his reading experience at high school C. introduce the two persons" reading methods D. explain that he read many books at high school
