Mr. Clark worked long hours,making sure I did my work.My grades rose.In fact,the scores of our whole class rose.One day,he took our class to see The Phantom of the Opera,and it was the first time some kids had ever been out of Harlem.Before the show,he treated us to dinner at a restaurant and taught us not to talk with our mouths full.We did not want to let him down.
Mr.Clark was selected as Disney’s 2,000 Teacher of the Year.He said he would draw three names out of a hat; those students would go with him to Los Angeles to get the award.But when the time came to draw names,Mr. Clark said,“You’re all going.”
On graduation day,there were a lot of tears.We didn’t want his class to end.In 2001,he moved to Atlanta,but we always kept in touch.He started giving lectures about education,and wrote a bestselling book based on his classroom rules,The Essential 55.
In 2003,Mr.Clark took some of us on a trip to South Africa to deliver school supplies and visit the orphanages (孤儿院).It was the most amazing experience of my life.It’s now my dream to one day start a group of women’s clubs,helping people from all backgrounds.

We now think of chocolate as sweet,but once it was bitter.We think of it as a candy,but once it was a medicine.Today,chocolate can be a hot drink,a frozen dessert,or just a snack.Sometimes it is an ingredient in the main course of a meal.Mexicans make a hot chocolate sauce called mole and pour it over chicken. The Mexicans also eat chocolate with spices like chili peppers.
Chocolate is a product of the tropical cacao tree. The beans taste so bitter that even the monkeys say “Ugh!” and run away.Workers must first dry and then roast the beans.This removes the bitter taste.
The word “chocolate” comes from a Mayan word. The Mayas were an ancient people who once lived in Mexico.They valued the cacao tree.Some used the beans for money,while others crushed them to make a drink.
When the Spaniards came to Mexico in the sixteenth century,they started drinking cacao too.Because the drink was strong and bitter,they thought it was a medicine.No one had the idea of adding sugar.The Spaniards took some beans back to Europe and opened cafes.Wealthy people drank cacao and said it was good for digestion.
In the 1800s,the owner of a chocolate factory in England discovered that sugar removed the bitter taste of cacao. It quickly became a cheap and popular drink.Soon afterwards,a factory made the first solid block of sweetened chocolate.Later on,another factory mixed milk and chocolate together.People liked the taste of milk chocolate even better.
Besides the chocolate candy bar,one of the most popular American snacks is the chocolate chip cookie.Favorite desserts are chocolate cream pie and of course an ice cream sundae with hot fudge sauce.
【解题导语】 巧克力,情人节的礼物,爱情的象征,但是否有人能想到它最初的用途呢?
31.It was ________ that discovered sugar could remove the bitter taste of cacao.
A.the workers in the chocolate factory
B.the Spaniards
C.the people in England
D.the owner of a chocolate factory
解析:选D。事实细节题。根据文章第五段第一句话可知,是一个英格兰工厂主发现了用糖能去除可可苦味的方法,所以答案选D项。
32.According to the passage which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.Nobody had the idea of adding sugar into cacao until the sixteenth century.
B.The word “chocolate” comes from a Mexican word.
C.The beans taste so bitter that even the monkeys like them.
D.Workers must dry and roast the beans to remove the bitter taste.
解析:选D。事实细节题。从文章第二段的最后两句可知,D项正确。根据第四段和第五段的第一句可排除A项;根据第三段的第一句可排除B项;根据第二段的第二句可排除C项。
33.The Spaniards thought that cacao was a medicine because ________.
A.it was strong and bitter
B.it was good for digestion
C.it cured man’s diseases
D.it was a kind of drink for good health
解析:选A。事实细节题。从第四段的第二句”Because the drink was strong and bitter,they thought it was a medicine.”可知答案选A项。

B.A factory made the first solid block of sweetened chocolate.

B.c-d-e-b-a
C.c-d-a-b-e
D.c-d-b-e-a
解析:选C。逻辑排序题。从第四段可知,先是西班牙人开始饮用可可。从第五段可知,然后英格兰一工厂主发现糖能去除可可的苦味;随后巧克力开始风靡开来;后来有工厂做出了固态巧克力;最后有人把牛奶与巧克力混合,由此正确顺序为c—d—a—b—e,所以答案选C项。
35.It can be learned from the passage that ________.
A.chocolate can be a hot drink,a frozen dessert,or a candy bar
B.the Mayas only used cacao beans for drinking in Mexico
C.chocolate is a product of the cacao tree
D.people liked more the taste of solid blocks of sweetened chocolate than that of chocolate mixed with milk

West Virginia-Public schools are using a dance video game to help get students in shape.In these schools,students are often told to turn off their video games and get some exercise.The schools have found a new way for their students to work out while playing a new video game.West Virginia is one of the heaviest states in the country. About half of its fifthgraders are considered to be overweight,and their parents are worried about that.To get them moving on a healthier path,the state’s public schools are using a video game called “Dance Revolution”.
To use the game,players should stand on a special mat in front of a TV screen.Following arrows on the screen,players must move their feet to the specific symbols on the mat.Players must move quickly,touching symbols on the mat at just the right time.With each song,they get more exercise.
“If we can get children to change their behavior at a young age,they will hopefully grow up to be healthy and active adults,” said Carl Callison of Mountain State Blue Cross,a health care company.
West Virginia is ranked among the top three heaviest states.About a third of West Virginians are considered to be obese(肥胖的).Even more are considered to be overweight.Extra weight can lead to serious health problems such as high blood pressure,diabetes(糖尿病),some cancers,and many other health issues.
“One out of three children born in West Virginia today will have diabetes by the time they grow up,” said Nidia Henderson,a manager for the public employees’insurance program.“That’s a terrible thing and not acceptable.”
All of West Virginia’s 157 middle schools are using the video game.School officials hope that all public schools in the state will use the game within the next three years.However,officials emphasize that the game is not meant to substitute physical education and health classes.The game will be part of physical education classes and afterschool programs.
【解题导语】 在西弗吉尼亚州,很多学校正在使用舞蹈视频游戏,希望以此来减少肥胖,帮助学生保持体型,从而让学生强身健体。
36.Why do public schools in West Virginia develop “Dance Revolution”?
A.Because most of the students don’t like dancing.
B.Because it can help students get a better shape.
C.Because losing weight is necessary to students.
D.Because it can make students’ activities colorful.
解析:选B。事实细节题。从文章第一段的第一句可知,该游戏的目的在于让学生保持较好的体型,答案选B项。
37.The second paragraph mainly talks about ________.
A.how to get more exercise
B.what are needed in the game
C.how to play a dance video game
D.who can practise the game
解析:选C。段落大意题。通读第二段的内容可知,这里主要介绍如何使用该游戏,所以答案选C项。
38.According to the text,which of the following is NOT true?
A. About one person in three West Virginians is overweight.
B.Overweight may cause a lot of diseases.
C.The problem of students’ overweight has been realized.
D.There are only 157 middle schools in West Virginia.
解析:选D。正误判断题。从最后一段的前两句可推知,这157所学校是使用这个舞蹈游戏的学校,而西弗吉尼亚不仅仅只有这157所中学,这可以从第二句话“学校领导希望所有的公立学校使用该游戏”看出来。所以选D项。
39.The underlined word “substitute” in the last paragraph means “________”.
A.replace
B.change
C.practise
D.stop
解析:选A。猜测词义题。从文章最后一段的最后一句话“The game will be part of physical education classes”可推知前一句的意思“该游戏并不是要替代体育健康课程”。故substitute此处意为“代替,替代”,所以选A项。
40.Which is the best title for the text?
A.The Problem of Overweight
B.Dancing for Health
C.Overweight in West Virginia
D.A Dance Video Game
解析:选B。主旨大意题。本文第一段就告诉我们西弗吉尼亚州很多公立学校采用舞蹈视频游戏来增强学生的体质,帮助学生保持体型。下文都围绕此主题而展开叙述,故B项能很好地归纳文意。
D
Many people influenced various aspects of my life,based on their personal characteristics,accomplishments,and values.I have been fortunate to have had numerous teachers and professors who I respect for their patience and intelligence.There are artists that have inspired me by their natural talents and original creativity. I value many political leaders,who have inspired me by their contributions to society,and their ability to change our futures. But of all the people I have known in my life,the person I admire most is my father.
As the youngest girl in my family,I always considered myself to be “Daddy’s little girl”.While I grew up,it always made me sad to see so many of my friends and neighbors without a father or fatherlike figure around.This helped me appreciate how my father always takes an interest in his children’s lives.In every aspect of my life my father continuously pushes me to excel,so I could accomplish my work outstandingly among my people.Whenever I feel like giving up,or have a question or a concern,I know I can always call on him for advice.From_him_I_have_also_learned_that_sometimes_you_have_to_put_others’_needs_ahead_of_your_own,but_you_should_make_sure_you_are_not_taken_advantage_of_by_others.His strength seems to be unbreakable during hard times,and he is extremely determined to accomplish anything he sets his mind on,no matter how tiny it is.I highly respect him for how he stands up for what he believes in,and will never back down.I have always admired his open mind,compassion (同情) for people,and sense of understanding.He is a very reserved man,but to everybody’s surprise,he has a great sense of humor,and always knows how to put a smile on the faces of his wife,his children and his friends.
Living in his affection and instruction,I am very proud of my father.He also professes (声称) how proud he is of his children,and is still there to support us in whatever we are involved in.
【解题导语】 本文作者通过这篇文章描述了自己伟大的父亲,字里行间流露出了自己对父亲的钦佩和感激之情……
41.What is the best title for the passage?
A.How my father loved me
B.My father—the person I admire most
C.I am the apple of my father’s eye
D.My father—the one who influenced me most
解析:选B。标题概括题。本文主要讲述了作者对父亲的感激之情,因此B项作为本文标题最合适。第一段的最后一句点出了主题。
42.Which of the following could not be used to describe the author’s father?
A.Considerate and humorous.
B.Affectionate and openminded.
C.Knowledgeable and sociable.
D.Energetic and helpful.
解析:选C。推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句话可知,C选项中的sociable“友善的,好交际的”和文中的reserved“保守的,冷淡的”是相反的含义,所以用sociable描述作者的父亲是不恰当的;文中也没有信息显示作者的父亲很博学。
43.Which of the following can best explain the underlined word “excel” ?
A.Do better than others.
B.Show off.
C.Be cleverer than others.
D.Keep healthy.
解析:选A。词义猜测题。根据这个词后面的内容“...so I could accomplish my work outstandingly among my people.”可知,A项符合题意,即父亲让我超越别人。其他几项不合题意。
44.According to the underlined part,the father was telling the author to ________.
A.try to be good to those who were worth making friends with
B.try to take advantage of those who were friendly to her
C.think about others and help them,so that she could make them serve her
D.think about others and help them,but not to be made use of in a negative way
解析:选D。推理判断题。画线部分说,“父亲告诉我要急别人所需,帮助别人,但是一定不要被别人利用”,与D项相同。另外,画线部分句子中的be taken advantage of的意思与D项中的be made use of的意思相同,因此D项正确。
45.What can we infer about the author?
A.She appreciated her father because he solved all the problems for her.
B.She considered her father humorous and was often made to laugh by him.
C.She had sympathy for the fatherless.
D.She was outstanding in work because her father pushed her hard.
解析:选C。推理判断题。由第二段第二句话可推知,C项正确,即她同情没有父亲的孩子。

Many Chinese students are facing a number of physical problems,such as obesity,and short-sightedness.Under the current educational system,marks seem to mean everything to students so students have to spend most of their time in doing endless homework in order to pass the college entrance examination.As a result,they do not sleep or exercise enough.

When I was growing up,I had an old neighbor named Dr.Gibbs.He didn’t look like any doctor I’d ever known.When Dr.Gibbs wasn’t saving lives,he was planting trees.
The good doctor had some interesting theories concerning planting trees.He believed in “No pains,no gains”.He never watered his new trees,which was beyond many people.Once I asked why.He answered that watering plants spoiled them,and that if you water them,each following tree generation will grow weaker and weaker.So you have to make things tough for them.He talked about how watering trees made for shallow roots,and how trees that weren’t watered had to grow deep roots in search of water.I took him to mean that deep roots were to be treasured.
So he never watered his trees.He’d plant an oak (橡树)and,instead of watering it every morning,he’d beat it with a rolledup newspaper.Smack! Slap! Pow! I asked him why he did that,and he said it was to get the tree’s attention.
Dr.Gibbs passed away a couple of years after I left home.Every now and again,I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I’d watched him plant some twentyfive years ago.They’re extremely tall,big and strong now.Those trees wake up in the morning and beat their chests and drink their coffee black.

I can’ t agree more with Dr.Gibbs’ way of planting trees for the reason that too much care would spoil the trees since they would depend on Dr.Gibbs’ care.Once they had lost the care,their survival ability was lost,too.
Due to the birth control in our country,many parents have only one child.So they do what they can to satisfy their children’s needs and arrange everything for them,making them unable to look after themselves without their parents’ care.Flowers from a greenhouse can never withstand a storm.As a famous saying goes,“Spare the rod and spoil the child.”
If I were a parent,I would make my child eat bitter food,do hard work and send him to the places where he could get the fullest training and knowledge with which he would value the labour and be capable of facing hardships.I would also teach my child to help support the family.More could be done apart from food,hard work and bad condition.
