One year, I had a student, John, who entered my class when he was a junior (三年级
17、学生). John changed to our school from Greece, and seemed to be interested in athletics, so I encouraged him to join our track team. I explained to him that even though he had never taken part in it before, I did believe that he could do well in any event, and I would be willing to coach him at whiche
18、ver ones interested him. He accepted the offer, and began to work hard at every practice.About a month later, I had found out from other sources that John was a first-class tennis player, winning various junior awards in his home country. I went to him asking, “John, I really appreciate that you cam
19、e out for the track team, but why didnt you play tennis instead? It seems that would interest you a lot more, since youre so good at it.” John answered, “Well, I like tennis, but you told me that you believed in me, and that you thought I could do well in track, so I wanted to try it for that rea-so
20、n.”From then on, I often remember my students re-ply. I told it to a friend and she suggested I write it down to share somewhere with more teachers. No matter how critical (不满的) students can be of them-selves, Ive found that a simple “I trust that you can do it!” can go a long way! 41. According to
21、Paragraph 1, the author seems to think more about Johns _. A. PE marks B. self-confidence C. interest in sports D. state of health 42. Why did John take part in the track team? A. He had been an excellent runner. B. He was encouraged by his teacher. C. He liked running more than tennis. D. He had no
22、 tennis coach to train him. 43. The purpose of this passage is probably _. A. to build a close teacher-student relationship B. to introduce a new way of sports training C. to explain the value of sports and games D. to show the importance of encouragement 44. The passage is mainly written for _. A.
23、teachers B. parents C. students D. players BBirds dont need lessons in building nests. Fish dont need coaching to learn how to swim. All animals have instincts. Theyre born with natural abilities to do certain things. Wild animals also learn by copying their parents and practicing. And pets learn th
24、rough training.But instincts and training arent the only keys to animals behavior. Scientists say animals thoughts and feelings also influence their actions. Animals often make choices, plans, and sensible changes. They can help others and solve problems. Some even make and use tools! If animals cou
25、ld talk, what would they say about their thoughts and feelings? A gorilla (大猩猩) born in captivity (关在笼子里) has helped answer that question. Koko, a gorilla, was taught to use sign language (手势语). She has learned hundreds of words! Koko once had a pet cat she named All Ball. “Koko love Ball,” she sign
26、ed. “Soft good cat.” One time, she blamed the cat for biting her by signing “You bad dirty toilet!” When her pet died, Koko cried. “Sad for sleeping cat,” she signed. Koko calls herself “fine animal gorilla”. She uses sign language to argue, joke, and ask and answer questions. “Most animals cant use
27、 words to tell us their thoughts,” says Dr. Jonathan Balcombe. “But Koko shows us that animals have their own ideas and feelings.” Dr. Balcombe is a scientist at the Humane Society of the United States. He says theres even more to discover about animals through field studies. In field studies, peopl
28、e watch animals in their natural environment. “Scientists who study animals natural behaviors learn how animals live and think,” Balcombe says. “That knowledge can help others respect every animal who shares the planet with us.”45. The underlined word “instincts” in the first paragraph probably refe
29、rs to the ability that _.A. animals copy their parents B. animals learn by practicingC. animals are born with D. animals learn through training46. The example of Koko shows that _.A. an animal likes to have its own petB. an animal can learn to speak through trainingC. an animal has the natural abili
30、ty to speakD. an animal can speak its mind47. According to Balcombe, learning how animals live and think can _.A. help people care for animals B. teach animals to use wordsC. train animals to use tools D. train animals to be cleverer48. What might be the most suitable title for the passage?A. Raisin
31、g animals as pets B. Understanding animalsC. Training animals to speak D. Protecting animals from dangerCAdults usually do not remember most of the things that are taught by their teachers at school. But this story is one such lesson that I will never forget. Every time I drift off course, I think o
32、f this story. It was a normal Monday morning, and my teacher was teaching us on important things in life and about devoting ourselves to what is important to us. This is how the story went: An old man lived in a certain part of London, and he would wake up every morning and go to the sub-way. He wou
33、ld get onto the train right to Central Lon-don, and then sit at the street corner and beg. He would do this every single day of his life. He sat at the same street corner and begged for almost 20 years. His house was dirty, and a stench (恶臭) came out of the house and it smelled terrible. The neighbo
34、rs could not stand the smell any more, so they called for the police officers to clear the place. The officers knocked down the door and cleaned the house. There were small bags of money all over the house that he had collected over the years. The police counted the money, and they soon realized tha
35、t the old man was a millionaire (百万富翁). They waited outside his house expecting to share the good news with him. When the old man arrived home that evening, one of the officers told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a rich man now, a millionaire. But the old man said nothi
36、ng at all; he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up as usual, went to the subway, sat at the street corner and continued to beg. Clearly, this old man had no great plans, dreams or anything significant (有意义的) for his life. We learn nothing from this story other than st
37、aying focused on the things we enjoy doing. 49.The underlined part in the first paragraph may mean _.A. I get tired of learning my subjects B. I fail to listen to lessons attentively来源:高考资源网C.

Depend on yourself rather than others.DAbout ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Wo
40、men are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman! There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. So
41、metimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green a strange world indeed.Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These h
42、elp us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color.Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but
43、 a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.53
44、. The passage is mainly about _. A. color and its surprising effects. B. women being luckier than men C. danger caused by color blindness D. color blindness54. According to the passage, with the help of the “cones”, we can_. A. tell different shapes B. see in a weak light C. kill mosquitoes D. tell
45、orange from yellow55. Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women? A. Women are more careful. B. There are fewer color-blind women C. Women are fonder of driving than men. D.
