“Probably not,” one of them answered. “Good!” the teacher replied. He brought out a box of sand and   33  some sand on the jar and it went between the rocks and small stones. Again he asked the   34  question, “Is this jar full?
“No,” the class shouted. Once more the teacher said, “Good.” He poured a cup of water into the jar   35  it was full. The he asked, “What is the point here?” One student   36  his hand and said, “The point is that if you try really hard, you can   37  put more things in.”

解析

试题分析:本文讲述一个教师通过具体的实验演示,启发学生如何科学地安排时间:重要的 事情要先做,次要的小事可以稍后做。
小题1:下文提到老师通过一个的实验演示如何科学的安排时间,给学生上了一堂生动的课,学生深受启发,因此是难忘的。故选forget.
小题2:他把一个宽口罐子放在桌子上.然后拿出一些石头小心地放入其中。A分发B拿出C拿走; 带走;D收起来; 放好,根据语境,故应选B
小题3:no more修饰名词="not" any more,当填到不能再填入更多石头的时候,他问“这个罐子满了吗?”
小题4:从后文“Is this jar full?”可知是老师发问,故此处填asked
小题5:老师拿出一小包小石块并把一些小石头放进罐子里。Some和any均可以表示“一些”,但any 用于否定句和疑问句中。
小题6:小石头从上往下放进罐子的空隙中,故用down,up表示“往上”,out表示“往外”
小题7:从第一二可知,老师先前问了学生一次,所以该处用once again又一次,再一次, 就相当于again,说明动作是第二遍
小题8:联系上文,“放入石头用动词put,故此处“放入沙子”也应使用put
小题9:从一二三可知,老师问了同样的问题:这个罐子满了吗?
小题10:考查连词。他把一杯水倒入罐子里直到充满了罐子,故用till
小题11:根据上下文语境,一个学生举起手回答,raise/put up one’s hands某人举起手
小题12:如果你努力尝试(往里面放东西),你总是可以放进更多。
小题13:根据上文老师提问“道理(point)是什么”,此处同样应填point,老师回答说 “那不是这个道理
小题14:什么在你的生活中是那些‘大的石块’呢?用what提问,故选B
小题15:从本段第二行put the big rocks in first可知选C。记住把你最重要的事(big rocks)放在第一位否则一事无成。
点评:本文讲述一个教师通过具体的实验演示,启发学生如何科学地安排时间的故事。 哲理故事类完形填空相对而言较简单。做题时,首先心理上要平心静气,不要碰到一空不会填便乱方寸。其次,从答题策略上,要把握以下几方面:浏览全文,把握大意;运用语法理顺关系;遇到难词反复默念;注意上下连贯,合乎逻辑;细心检查避免疏漏。

举一反三
Christmas Eve means a warm get-together with friends, a candlelight dinner, or perhaps a celebration at a pub for students. But, for Cai Yingjie, the night has a different meaning: helping beggars(乞丐)and the homeless(people without homes).
Cai, who is a student in journalism at Tsinghua, could be found at Beijing’s Wudaokou Light Railway Station that special evening. When she saw an old beggar, she took the cold, rough hands of the woman with her warm, clean hands, and gave the woman some warm bread and helped her put on a pair of new gloves.
The woman was surprised for a few seconds, then burst into tears, saying “for the first time I feel respected”.
Cai said, “A beggar’s life is very hard. That’s why I want to help them.”
Cai was one of 14 Tsinghua students spending Christmas Eve among the poor. They walked in the cold wind along the streets from 4 to 7 pm on Friday, visiting 15 beggars in Beijing’s Haidian District.
They brought bread and gloves with them, and stopped to greet beggars and offer them some of the warm food. Each beggar greeted them with a look of surprise.
“I know the activity can’t help much, but it’s meant to show our respect and care for beggars and the homeless who have been neglected for so long,” said Sun, head of the group. “And Christmas is a good time for that.”
小题1:What does Christmas Eve mean to the 14 Tsinghua students?
A.Taking 15 beggars to Tsinghua.

C.The beggar has been respecting Cai for a long time.
D.This is the first time the beggar has seen Tsinghua students.
小题3:What did each beggar feel when they received greetings?
A.Sad.B.Amazed.
C.Frightened.D.Proud.
小题4:The word “neglected” in the last passage means _______.

There were times it was only schoolchildren who felt sick before they got their grades. But now teachers in Germany are scared, too, as they are being graded by their students.
Many teachers are opposed to it. They don’t mind being evaluated(评价). But they are upset because the results are then being posted on the Internet and accessible to millions of Internet users. On the website www.spickmich.deduring the past four months students have posted evaluation of 100,000 teachers.
The teachers are graded on categories such as “motivated”, “good instruction”, “easy examinations”, or even “sexy”. Many teachers think that their privacy has been violated.
The creators of the website say that the students are only being offered the chance to provide teachers with some feedback about their classroom instruction. Bernd Dicks, who founded the website with three friends, says that the students are largely quite satisfied with their teachers. On a grading scale of one to six, the teachers’ average grade is 2.7 and it has been improving lately. He often says the impression is that students are bullying(威吓) their teachers. But there is also bullying of the students by teachers.
“Teachers must also learn to live with criticism,” he added. But still, the website is not totally immune from manipulation(操纵), as one teacher near the northern city of Hanover recently proved. He registered himself on the website as a student and then rated his own teaching colleagues highly. Within a few days, seven of his colleagues were listed in the top 10 ranking of Germany’s best teachers.
小题1:Many teachers are opposed to the website because_____.
A.their privacy has been violatedB.they are afraid of being assessed
C.their evaluations are unfairD.the results are not satisfying
小题2:We can infer that the founder of the website intended to _____.
A.get the students to know their teachers better
B.conduct a survey on teachers’ performance
C.help the teachers to improve their teaching
D.change the teachers’ ways of giving instructions
小题3:From what the teacher in Hanover did, we can infer _____.
A.he intended to help his colleague
B.there was some disadvantage of the website
C.his colleagues were more popular than him
D.he wanted to know how he was evaluated

Every year in the first week of English class, some students inform me that writing is too hard. They never write, unless homework requires it. They find the writing process painful and difficult.
How awful it is to be able to speak in a language but not to write in it, especially with its rich vocabulary. Being able to speak but not write is like living in an enormous mansion and never leaving one small room. When I meet students who think they can’t write, I know, as a teacher my duty is to show them the rest of the rooms. My task is to build fluency and accuracy while providing the opportunity in any writing activity to enhance(增强)the moral and emotional development of my students.
One great way to do this is by having students write in a journal in class every day.
Writing ability is like strength training. Writing needs to be done just like exercise; just as muscles grow stronger with exercise, writing skills improve quickly with writing practice daily. I often see a rise in student confidence and performance after only a few weeks of journal writing.
Expressing oneself in writing is one of the most important skills I teach to strengthen the whole students. When my students practice journal writing, they are practicing for their future academic, political, and emotional lives. They build skills so that some say they might write a great novel, a piece of sorely needed legislation(法规), or the perfect love letter. That they write in their journals every day puts them a step closer to fluency, eloquence(雄辩)and command of the language.
小题1:What is the purpose of the passage?
A.To encourage students to keep a journal every day.
B.To analyze students’ problems in learning languages.
C.To stress the importance of writing in language learning.
D.To introduce an effective way of improving students’ writing.
小题2:The underlined phrase “an enormous mansion” in Paragraph 2 refers to students’       .
A.writing opportunityB.large house
C.large vocabularyD.emotional life
小题3:In the author’s view, what can students benefit from the journal writing?
A.It is beneficial to students’ future career.
B.It can make students more emotional.
C.It is helpful to students’ homework.
D.It can enlarge students’ vocabulary.

In the computer age, most of us take a broadband(宽带)Internet connection for granted. Whether cable or mobile broadband, today’s connections are many times faster than those in the early days. Videos play smoothly, complex websites load quickly, and files download much faster than ten years ago. And the files are much bigger too.
There’s a catch, of course: You have to live near enough to a major city to get broadband Internet. If you don’t, it’s slow dial-up access for you. And for those living really far out, there may be no Internet access at all.
Technology experts often talk about the “last mile” problem, which refers to the difficulty of bringing Internet access to remote locations. In cities and suburbs, it’s relatively easy to provide access for everyone. It is much more difficult to deliver access to those living far from cities, especially in developing countries. Internet service providers, for their part, have been reluctant to provide access to sparsely (稀疏地) populated areas. The handful of Internet users they would reach wouldn’t cover the expense.
But every year, technological advancements allow of more and more Internet users. Most broadband connections today run over existing cable TV and telephone lines although these technologies aren’t available everywhere.
Some companies have delivered the Internet over standard power lines. Advancements in cheaper, more efficient fiber optics cables (光纤电缆) promise to bring extremely fast Internet connections to more users.
Still, the “last mile” problem remains hard to deal with. There will always be somewhere that doesn’t have an affordable broadband connection. But someday that might not matter. If the rapid progress in cell phone technology is any indication (迹象), it may not be too long before an Internet connection simply follows you wherever you go.
小题1:The underlined part “a catch” (in Paragraph 2) probably means “_____”.
A.a rare challengeB.a desirable planC.an efficient deviceD.a hidden problem
小题2:What can we know from the third paragraph?
A.Internet connection has not been popular in most cities.
B.Internet service providers care about rural(农村的)customers.
C.Computer is popular in developing countries.
D.It is hard to bring Internet access to users in remote areas.
小题3:Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that technological advancements _____.
A.make TV and telephone available everywhere
B.bring great change to people’s everyday life
C.make it possible for more people to use the Internet
D.bring faster Internet connections to users
小题4:What may eventually settle the “last mile” problem?
A.The broadband connection’s getting faster.
B.More and more Internet users.
C.more and more Internet connections.
D.The rapid progress in cell phone technology.

Motherhood may make women smarter and may help prevent dementia(痴呆) in old age by bathing the brain in protective hormones(荷尔蒙) , U.S. researchers reported on Thursday.
Tests on rats show that those who raise two or more litters of pups do considerably better in tests of memory and skills than rats who have no babies, and their brains show changes that suggest they may be protected against diseases such as Alzheimer’s (早老痴呆症). University of Richmond psychology professor Craig Kinsley believes his findings will translate into humans.
“Our research shows that the hormones of pregnancy (***) are protecting the brain, including estrogen (雌激素), which we know has many neuroprotective (保护神经的) effects,” Kinsley said.  
“It’s rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals,” he added in a telephone interview. “They go through pregnancy and hormonal changes.”
Kinsley said he hoped public health officials and researchers will look to see if having had children protects a woman from Alzheimer’s and other forms of age-related brain decline.
“When people think about pregnancy, they think about what happens to babies and the mother from the neck down,” said Kinsley, who presented his findings to the annual meeting of the Society of Neuroscience in Orlando, Florida.
“They do not realize that hormones are washing on the brain. If you look at female animals who have never gone through pregnancy, they act differently toward young. But if she goes through pregnancy, she will sacrifice her life for her infant—that is a great change in her behavior that showed in genetic alterations(改变) to the brain.”
小题1:How do scientists know “Motherhood may make women smarter”?
A.Some researchers have told them.
B.Many women say so.
C.They know it by experimenting on rats.
D.They know it through their own experience.
小题2:What does the phrase “litters of pups” mean in the second paragraph?
A.Baby rats.B.Animals.C.Old rats.D.Grown-up rats.
小题3:What can protect the brain of a woman according to the passage?
A.Estrogen.B.The hormones of pregnancy.
C.More exercise.D.Taking care of children.
小题4:“It’s rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals.” What does the sentence suggest?
A.The experiments on the rats have nothing to do with humans.
B.The experiments on the rats are very important for animals.
C.The experiments on the rats are much the same on humans.
D.The experiments on the rats are much the same on other animals.
