解析
小题1:答案 B [从后面对10年级英语老师的叙述可知选B。上课的第一天，“我”询问一个高年级的学生关于Mrs. McNamara的情况，结果对方哈哈大笑，他知道，在后面她的课堂上有我难受的时候。对方不会因为“我”的询问而“道歉、喊叫”。]
小题1:答案 A [他认为“我”到这个老师的班上学习会有“我”难受的时候。]
小题1:答案 C [从文章叙述的作者的经历看，老师给“我们”的作文评分，再由同学评论“我”的作文，因此这是老师组织的一种教学活动，而不是老师对“我们”的评价。]
小题1:答案 D [下文提到the homework reading判断选D。老师给“我们”布置的家庭作业是回家后进行阅读。]
小题1:答案 B [第二天到学校，老师就在黑板上写下两或三个与“我们”头一天的课外阅读相关的话题作为写作任务。这里用(be) related to表示“与……有关”。A项“添加”；C项“做贡献”；D项“比较”。]
小题1:答案 A [这是老师让学生根据话题写课堂作文，因此用expect sb to do sth表示“期待某人做某事”。B项“说服”；C项“允许”；D项“劝告”。]
小题1:答案 B [第二天老师就把“我们”交的作文发下来，还给“我们”。而这些作文已经被老师批改过且评过分。从动作的顺序看，前面提到读书、写文章、修改、评分，因此这里表示把作文发还给“我们”。]
小题1:答案 D [依次叫学生到全班学生面前。A项“故意”；B项“起初”；C项“偶然地”。]
小题1:答案 C [老师把作文批改并发给“我们”后，此时要求“我们”依次当着全班同学的面朗读自己的作文，因此选C表示“朗读，宣读”。]
小题1:答案 D [本题有一定难度。语境表示老师要求班上每个学生都要对被朗读的文章进行评论，否则的话，全班同学都要挨罚：降低成绩。]
小题1:答案 D [作者在回顾“我”第一次尝到苦头时的情景，用experience表示“体验”她的教学方法。]
小题1:答案 C [这里用bother to do sth表示“为某事操心”。“我”第一次上她的课时，懒得去做老师布置的课外阅读。undertake to do sth表示“许诺做某事”，不符合语境。]
小题1:答案 D [这是回顾过去的经历。老师布置的课外阅读“我”没有看，因此写的作文是什么内容，有多糟糕，并且当堂朗读自己的作文，这是什么滋味，有多尴尬就可想而知了。]
小题1:答案 B [这里用make a fool of表示“捉弄”，“我”让自己在全班同学面前出丑。]
小题1:答案 A [从语境的逻辑关系判断选A。在Mrs. Mc Namara的课堂上，任何人都会遇到让自己尴尬的情景，要嘲笑别人需要勇气，而这样做也是愚蠢的，因为这样的情况随时会降临到嘲笑别人的同学身上。]
小题1:答案 B [“我”在这次经历中感觉到的尴尬是发自内心的，同时“我”也下定决心不再这样。]
小题1:答案 C [“我”下定决心，从此认真对待学习，坚决不让这样的事情再次发生。]
小题1:答案 A [老师把“我们”的书面作文都存档放好，因此很容易从“我们”的作业中看到“我们”的成长与进步。]
小题1:答案 C [从前面叙述的故事可知，这样的活动是老师的教学安排，任何人都不能逃避，因此选C，老师督促/逼着我们这样做。]
小题1:答案 A [这里用did代替前面的could improve myself.老师让“我”认识到自己的真实情况，以使“我”进步，在她的督促下，“我”进步了。]
核心考点

举一反三
Most children in Canada attend public schools. Public schools are completely founded by governments through tax (税收) income. Boys and girls attend the same school and share the same courses and classes. Schooling in Canada is provided in English and in French.
The rest of Canadian children attend private schools，which are supported mainly by fees (费) paid directly by parents. Some private schools enroll (招收) only boys or girls.
By law，children must attend school from age 5 to 16.Children are usually in school between 8：30 or 9：00 a．m.，and 3：00 or 4：00 p．m.Monday through Friday，from September to the middle of June. There are several different levels in the Canadian education system. The first is called Elementary Schools. In most provinces Elementary Schools include Kindergarten through Grade 7 or 8.
From Grade 8 or 9 through 12 or 13，children go to Secondary School or High School. High School students must take certain courses for several years，such as English or French and mathematics. Some courses help students get a job after they graduate from school. Other courses prepare students for college or university. In Canada，teenagers usually make these choices for themselves，with the advice of their teachers，guidance counselor (指导教师) and parents.
Schools usually offer extra activities at the end of the normal school day. These include sports，games，music and clubs.
Most elementary and high schools encourage parents to take part in school activities. Parents" nights are organized from time to time. These are chances for parents to discuss their children"s progress with teachers. You may wish to bring a friend with you. After graduating from high school，many young adults continue their studies through postsecondary education.

The best and most efficient way to learn to read fast is to join in classes，where speed reading skills will be explained clearly.
The advantage of courses is that students will be shown several different strategies showing them to choose the ones they find easiest to understand the material they are reading.
Students should try to learn all the strategies presented during their courses as, once these are mastered，they will see a dramatic improvement in their reading rate，after which they can choose their preferred style. Students will see the benefits of speed reading as soon as the techniques are applied to their main field of study.
A traditional education builds habits in reading which a good speed reading course will push aside，replacing with new techniques. A comprehensive course will also advise students how to become more efficient readers；hopefully this will also encourage the desire for self improvement as well as the desire to read.
Lecturers in speed reading will usually take the time to teach students the importance of preparing the environment they work in before they read a single work remember reading at speed is all about increasing the speed of comprehension not just the speed of reading! The satisfaction of reading faster and with better comprehension skills cannot be ignored；the techniques of speed reading increase the enjoyment of reading.Speed reading is a skill to be encouraged in each and every generation of new readers.

Euphemisms are an important part of every language，but it seems that English has an evergrowing number of them.The nonnative speaker not only has to make sense of the euphemisms he hears，he also has to learn which euphemisms are appropriate in any particular situation.He might be aware that his American friend needs to use the toilet when she asks where the bathroom (or restroom，or comfort station) is，but he is less likely to guess that his English friend has the same need when he says he has to see a man about a dog.He might have learned，for example，that in the family way is a euphemism for pregnant.If，however，he says to his boss，“Congratulations！I hear your wife is in the family way，” he would be using an expression that is too familiar for the circumstances.
Schools are full of euphemisms.At Frankfurt International School，for example，the special lessons given to students who are having difficulties in their school subjects are called Study Center (in the middle school) and Academic Workshop (in the high school)．Teachers rightly do not want to upset students or parents by being too frank or straightforward，and usually choose a softer word or expression to convey the same message.
小题1:According to the passage，people use euphemisms in order to________.
| A．make themselves understood |
| B．avoid embarrassment |
| C．to sound straightforward |
| D．attract attention |

| C．suggest nonnative speakers use euphemisms as often as possible |
| D．warn English learners to be careful about the meaning and use of euphemisms |
| A．have poor grades in the subjects |
| B．do well in school |
| C．work hard at their lessons |
| D．prefer to learn more |
Water from deep below the ground at Japan’s tens of thousands of hot springs could be used to produce electricity.
Although Japanese hightech companies are leaders in geothermal (地热的) technology and export it，its use is limited in the nation.
“Japan should no doubt make use of its resources of geothermal energy，” said Yoshiyasu Takefuji，a leading researcher of thermalelectric power production.
The disastrous earthquake and tsunami on March 11,2011 caused a reaction against atomic power，which previously made up 30 percent of Japan’s energy needs，and increased interest in alternative energies，which accounted for only 8 percent.
Artist Yoko Ono has called on Japan to explore its natural energy，following the example of Iceland which uses renewable energy for more than 80 percent of its needs.
For now，geothermal energy makes up less than 1 percent of the energy needs in Japan，which has for decades relied heavily on fossil fuels and atomic power.
The biggest problem to geothermal energy is the high initial cost of the exploration and constructing the factories.Another problem is that Japan’s potentially best sites are already being developed for tourism or are located within national parks where construction is forbidden.
“We can’t even dig 10 cm inside national parks.” said Shigeto Yamada of Fuji Electric，adding that regulations protecting nature would need to be relaxed for geothermal energy to grow.
Researcher Hideaki Matsui said，“Producing electricity using hot springs is a decadeslong project.We also have to think about what to do for now as energy supplies will decline in the short term.”
The Earth Policy Institute in Washington，US，believed Japan could produce 80 000 megawatts (兆瓦) and meet more than half its electricity needs with geothermal technology.
Japanese giants such as Toshiba are already global leaders in geothermal technology，with a 70 percent market share.In 2010，Fuji Electric built the world’s largest geothermal factory in New Zealand.
小题1:What would be the best title for the text?
| A．Alternative energies in Japan |
| B．World’s largest geothermal plant |
| C．Japan takes the lead in geothermal technology |
| D．Japan thinks of geothermal energy |
| A．About 8%. | B．Below 1%. |
| C．Around 30%. | D．Over 80%. |
| A．a change of rules | B．financial support |
| C．local people’s help | D．high technology |
| A．Yoshiyasu Takefuji | B．Hideaki Matsui |
| C．Shigeto Yamada | D．Yoko Ono |
| A．the world’s biggest geothermal plant was built by America |
| B．Japan will not export its geothermal technology |
| C．the potential of Japan’s geothermal energy is great |
| D．it is hard to find geothermal energy in Japan |
Barry Brown is with the Mobile Life Centre in Stockholm，Sweden.He told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern United States.There he borrowed a GPSequipped car to use during his stay.Mr Brown says，“They just plugged in an address and then set off to their destination.And，then it wasn’t until they were driving for thirty minutes that they realized they actually put in a destination back on the West Coast where they lived.They actually put their home address in.So again，the GPS is kind of ‘garbage in garbage out’．”
Mr Brown says this is a common human error，but what makes the problem worse has to do with some of the shortcomings，or failures，of GPS equipment.He says，“One problem with a lot of the GPS units is they have a very small screen and they just tell you the next turn.Because they just give you the next turn，sometimes that means that it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that it’s going to the wrong place.”
Mr Brown says，“One of the things that struck us，perhaps the most important thing was that you have to know what you’re doing when you use a GPS.There are these new skills that people have developed.There are these new competencies (资格) that you need to have to be able to use a GPS because they sometimes go wrong.This goes against a common belief that GPS systems are for passive drivers who lack navigational skills.”
Barry Brown says to make GPS systems better we need a better understanding of how drivers，passengers and GPS systems work together.
小题1:According to Barry Brow，in most cases，________are blame for the problems.
| A．human errors |
| B．GPS errors |
| C．errors caused by both drivers and GPS |
| D．errors caused by putting in a wrong address |
| A．GPS is nothing but garbage |
| B．GPS is still not accurate enough |
| C．it is difficult for drivers to use GPS equipment |
| D．sometimes drivers are responsible for the problem |
| A．it’s impossible to drive from the east to the west in the US |
| B．Barry Brown’s friend went to Stockholm，Sweden by plane |
| C．given wrong instructions，the GPS will produce wrong results |
| D．GPS systems are for passive drivers who lack navigational skills |
| A．It just tells the driver to turn once at a time. |
| B．It gives the driver the overview. |
| C．Its screen is too small to be seen clearly. |
| D．It is only suitable for passive drivers. |
| A．GPS systems are helpful for drivers. |
| B．Driving with GPS can be difficult to navigate (导航)． |
| C．Drivers should understand how GPS systems work. |
| D．Drivers should learn to use GPS systems correctly. |
