Question

  The past two years of John's life may be his best. Two years ago he was voted Teacher of the Year for his school where he teaches math and science to the 5th grade students. This past year he was voted Teacher of the Year for his school for the second time,and he also received the honor of Teacher of the Year for his entire district. Last year his wife gave birth to twins. Despite all of these achievements,John's focus never left his passion for teaching and his students,not to mention the fact that he also published a book about teaching science during that period.

  All of these achievements,although not ordinary,may be common among your hardwork?ing teachers,but this is not the case for John. You see,when John was 18 ,he had a baseball accident that left him paralyzed from the chest down. Despite the challenges he faced physical?ly,mentally,and spiritually he never gave up and was able to continue to dream of becoming a teacher. And now he has so much more to teach than just math and science. Every day in his life serves a purpose,and his students are reminded of those values. John makes no excuses for what he can and cannot do in his life and continues to strive to not only make his students excel,but also push them to live up to and stand up for what they believe in.

  I can tell you more about what he means to so many people in his family,school,and community but that can never prove what John stands for. Above all John is a standup guy and he will continue to do this for the rest of his life.

A篇：本文讲述了一位身残志坚的教师的故事。

1. D细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知，在过去的两年里，约翰不但两次被选举为他所在学校的年度教师，还被选为所在地区的年度教师。此外,他妻子为他生了一对双胞胎，事业生活双丰收，因此说这两年也许是他最辉煌的两年。

2. C细节理解题。根据第二段"All of these achievements,although not ordinary,may be common among your hardworking teachers,but this is not the case for John."可知，尽管这些成就并不普通，在勤奋的老师中也许是常见的，但这对于约翰来说并非如此。再结合下文的叙述可知，约翰能取得这些成就是不容易的。

3. C细节理解题。根据第二段"...strive to not only make his students excel,but also push them to live up to and stand up for what they believe in."可知，John的人生目标是努力培养更多优秀的学生。

4. A标题判断题。根据全文内容及文章最后一句话可知，约翰尽管半身瘫痪,可是在人们心中他很高大，是个顶天立地的男子汉。由此可知答案。
