【要点综述】本文是一篇议论文。文章就有天赋的学生是不是应该进特殊班的问题进行了讨论,调查表明被分在特殊班的学生并没有人们想象的好效果,特殊班里的学生过分依赖老师的引导,反而对学习失去了兴趣。

1.C 考查名词辨析。根据文意可知分班的争论依据是:普通班会阻碍有天赋学生的发展。

2.C 考查现在分词的用法。这里指为普通学生设计的普通班的学习环境。

3.D考查形容词词义辨析。后文指为普通学生设计的普通班。与前面的gifted相对的是average(普通的,一般的)。故选D。

4.B 考查形容词的词义辨析及语境理解。特殊班能帮助学生早毕业,尽早的走进生活。

5.A 考查语境理解。根据上文可知:此处指有天赋的孩子们。把有天赋的孩子们从普通班分出来产生了严重问题。

6.A考查形容词词义辨析及语境理解。此处intelligent意为:聪明的,有天赋的;它与gifted同意。

7.B考查形容词词义辨析及语境理解。把特殊班里的有天赋的学生放到普通班里进行调研。后文有提示:In the regular class。

8.D 考查副词的词义及语境。在特殊班里的学生没怎么表现出运用自己的判断力的能力,相反,他们过分依赖老师的引导。

9.C考查副词词义及语境理解。由having no worry about keeping up可知:在普通班有天赋的学生不必担心跟上课程的问题,所以他们就会自动的思考许多问题。此处voluntarily意为:自愿地,主动地。

10.B考查形容词词义辨析及语境理解。许多人担心他们会感到厌烦从而对学习失去兴趣。

11.A考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。这种担心更多来源于老师和家长而不是学生。

12.B考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。根据上文的parents and teachers可知,一些老师有了应该为那些有天赋的学生设立特殊班的想法,因为老师比家长更了解学校的情况。

13.A 考查形容词词义辨析及语境理解。根据上文应为有天赋的学生。此处talented与gifted同意。

14.D考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。他们为什么会有这样的感觉是因为不适应学校的课程。

15.C考查形容词词义及语境理解。根据上文Studies have shown that to be bored is to be anxious可知此处选C。

(2011·广东卷)C

A year after graduation, I was offered a position teaching a writing class. Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published. I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. “Wait a minute” someone might say, “are you talking about Mr. Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar?”

The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two weeks to prepare, a period I spent searching for briefcase (公文包) and standing before my full-length mirror, repeating the words, “Hello, class. I’m Mr. Davis.” Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice. Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr. Davis was there. I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12-year-old boy.

I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves. I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students along a long table. I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.

 “All right then,” I said. “Okey, here we go.” Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment. I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I had imagined that I would sit at the edge of the desk, overlooking a forests of hands. Every student would yell. “Calm down, you’ll all get your turn. One at a time, one at a time!”

A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other opinions, I inspected the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.

   A. he wanted to be expected

(2011·广东卷)B

Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.

However, it wasn’t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same  signals submission.

In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behaviour. They are learning how to talk each other’s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk ‘dog’, and dogs can learn how to talk ‘Cat’.

What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn to read each other’s body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was preciously suspected. Once familiar with each other’s presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together in the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom(梳理) each other.

The significance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets----to people who don’t get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.

31. The underlined word swimmingly in paragraph1 is closest in meaning to______.

A. early  B.sweetly  C.quickly   D. smoothly

32. Some cats and dogs may fight when_________.

A. they are cold to each other

C. they misunderstand each other’s signals

D. they are introduced at an early age

33. What is found surprising about cats and dogs?

A. They eat and sleep together

B. They observe each other’s behaviors

C. They learn to speak each other’s language

D. They know something from each other’s voice

34. It is suggested in paragraph 4 that cats and dogs_______.

A. have common interests  

B. are less different than was thought

C. have a common body langage

D. are less intelligent than was expected

35. What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?

A. We should learn to live in harmony

B. We should knows more about animals

C. We should live in peace with animals

D. We should learn more body languages

(2011·广东卷)A

In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animals. This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my cofffee,  or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.

From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people,but sometimes I was sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don’t get to see this soft side of others. Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.

Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning(按喇叭)or even shouting at me. At that moment, I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four of driving I put on the flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.

No more angry shouts and no more horns!

When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to the other drivers, “I have a problem here, I am weak and doing the best I can,” And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.

Sometimes weakness call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t that those far between. More often, it would be better if we don’t pretend to feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we’re scared.

A. they offer their help

B. they receive others’ help

C.they feel others’ kindness

D. they show their weakness

27. The author feels sad sometimes because ______.

   A. he has a soft heart

   B. he relies much on others

   C. some people pretend to be kind

   D. some people fail to see the kindness in others

28. What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?

A. They speed up to pass.

   B. They waited with patience.

   C. They tried their best to help.

   D. They put on their flashlights too.

29. In this passage, the author advises us to ______.

   A. handle problems by ourselves

   B. accept help from others

   C. admit our weakness

   D. show our bravery

30. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

   A. A Wheelchair Experience.

   B. Weakness and Kindness.

   C. Weakness and Strength

D. A Driving Experience
