阅读理解:　　 阅读下列短文, 从所给的四个选项中, 选出最佳答案。  　　

    Think for a moment about the teachers you have had at school or　　 at university. Which one did you like best? And why? Were the teachers　　 you liked best also the ones who were the best teachers, in your　　 opinion? Before you read any further, consider for a moment the　　 qualities that make a teacher outstanding. (杰出的;出类拔萃)　　 　　

    Some very common answers to this question are that teachers need　　 to love their students, that they need to have an expert (专家的)　　 knowledge of their subjects, and that they should devote themselves　　 completely to their work. All of these ideas are, of course, true to a　　 certain extent (程度) but they are perhaps a little too simple.　　 　　

    It is impossible for anyone to love everyone they know, and　　 teachers deal with a very large number of students over the years. On　　 the other hand, teachers should certainly be able to make their　　 students feel that they are interested in them as people and in the　　 development of both their brains and their characters. A deep　　 knowledge of the subject is especially important, but equally (同样的)　　 important is the ability to pass that knowledge on to the students　　 effectively—a teacher needs to be trained in the skills of teaching.　　 These skills include how to explain ideas in a clear way, how to help　　 students to use the knowledge they are given, how to control a class　　 and so on. Finally, teachers have to devote a lot of time and energy　　 to their work, of course. However, they are also models that their　　 students must follow; so it is important that they should be　　 well-balanced people with interests outside their school work—　　 family, friends, hobbies, and so on. A teacher who only lives for work　　 is likely to become too narrow-minded.　　

(1)The writer suggests that you think about the teachers who have taught you at school in order that __________.　　

[　　]

A. you may love them better than before　　 　　

B. you'll get something you can write about them 　　

C. you might know the qualities that a good teacher should have 　　

D. you might get something for which you will praise them 　　

(2)It is impossible for every teacher ________ according to the　　 article.

[　　]

A. to have a good knowledge of the subject he teaches 　　

B. to have ways to pass the knowledge of his subjects on to his students effectively 　　

C. to be a good example for his students to follow 　　

D. to love all the students he has taught or is teaching 　　

(3)In the sentence "teachers should certainly be able to make their students feel that they are interested in them as　　 people…" "they" and "them" refer to ___________.

[　　]

A. teachers and teachers　　B. students and students 　　

C. teachers and students　　D. students and teachers 　　

(4)The skills of teaching include __________.

[　　]

A. how to explain ideas in a clear way 　　

B. how to devote a lot more time to their work 　　

C. how to control a class 　　

D. A and C 　　

(5)A teacher who ___________ is likely to be too narrow-minded.

[　　]

A. are well-balanced people with a lot of interests 　　

B. are interested not only in class but also in outside their school work

C. only lives for his work

D. have other interests besides his teaching

    For the person keeping a journal (日记), whatever he experiences　　 and wants to hold he can write down. But to get it down on paper　　 begins another adventure. For he has to focus (注视,聚焦) on what he　　 has experienced, and to be able to say what. What of it is new? What of it is remarkable (值得注意的) because　　 of association (联想) in the memory it stirs up? Is it a good or bad　　 thing to have happened? And why, specifically? The questions multiply　　 (增多) themselves quickly. As one tries to find the words that best　　 represent this discovery, the experience becomes even more clear in　　 its shape and meaning.

　　 　　 　　

    Beyond (除了) the value of the journal as record, there is the　　 value of the discipline (纪律、戒规) it teaches. The journalist begins　　 to pay closer attention to what happens to and around himself. He　　 develops and sharpens his skills of observation. He learns the　　 usefulness of language as a means of representing what he sees, and　　 gains skill and certainty in the expression of his experiences. To　　 have given up one's experience to words is to have begun marking out　　 the limits and potential (潜能、潜力) of its meaning. In the journal　　 that meaning is developed and clarified (澄清、阐明) to oneself. When　　 the intention of the development of that meaning is the consideration　　 of another reader, the method of journal redirects itself and it　　 becomes the essay.

    Animals seem to have the sense to eat when they are hungry and　　 they do not eat more than their bodies need. It has been demonstrated　　 (证实) that rats will, when given a choice over a period of time,　　 prefer water with vitamins (维生素) to water without vitamins, even　　 though there is no difference in taste or smell between the two water　　 bottles. When a fragrant flavor (香味) was added to the　　 vitamin—enriched liquid, the rats did seem to develop a taste for it　　 and kept drinking it, even after the vitamins were switched (转) to　　 the clear water. In time, however, they broke the habit and went back　　 to where the necessary vitamins were.

　　

　　    In an experiment, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a　　 cafeteria (自助食堂) with a wide selection of baby food before them.　　 They were given whatever food they pointed to or appeared interested　　 in. We are told that at first they showed some unusual eating　　 patterns, but over a period of time they managed to select a well　　 balanced diet (饮食).

　　

　　     So, in selecting food, rats and babies do seem to know and act on　　 what's best for them. Clearly, there is a kind of "body wisdom" which　　 humans soon lose. Most of us do not eat as wisely as we could. Many　　 of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced (影　　 响) by long-established habits. Some people eat fox, dog and　　 blackbirds, while we eat cows and pigs. So what people eat and how　　 much they eat seems to be greatly influenced by what is going on　　 around them.　　

　　

(1)In the experiment on rats, a fragrant flavor was added to the　　 rat's drinking water to ________.

[　　]

A. encourage rats to drink it　　 　　

B. find out what kind of flavor rats prefer　　 　　

C. test whether rats know which drink is with fragrant flavor　　 　　

D. demonstrate that vitamins are tasteless　　 　　

(2)The expression "the habit" in the first paragraph refers to　　 drinking water which __________.　　　　　　　　　　

[　　]

A. has no smell　　 B. is tasteless

C. has vitamins　　 D. is flavored　　 　　

(3)As far as their eating habits are concerned, babies and rats　　 are similar (相似) because ___________.　　　　　　

　　

[　　]

A. both have the wisdom to choose a balanced diet　　 　　

B. both prefer flavored food and drink　　 　　

C. both have the same eating patterns　　 　　

D. both develop a taste for the same kinds of flavors　　 　　

(4)In the experiment mentioned in the second paragraph, babies　　 were _________.

A. given many choices of drinks　　 　　

B. provided with various kinds of baby food　　 　　

C. placed and fed in a cafeteria　　 　　

D. trained to select a balanced diet　　 　　

(5)According to the passage, adults' (成年人) eating habits differ　　 from those of babies because ____________.　　　　

　　

[　　]

A. adults know better than babies what kinds of food are good for their health　　 　　

B. adults usually cannot resist the temptation of various delicious foods　　 　　

C. adults' eating habits are closely related to the social and cultural customs　　 　　

D. adults have more choices of food than babies in eating patterns
