参考答案与解析

(一)

“我”自以为在美国干过17年的教育到中国教授英国文学完全可以得心应手。可是由于中美文化的不同,“我”却很被动。第一节自认为很成功却被同学认为“我”什么也没有讲。在他们眼中,老师的工作应尽可能直接清楚地提供准确的信息,并不像在美国那样老师的工作是提有趣的问题,提供有关背景知识以便让学生自己得出结论。观念完全不同。

1. A。从“我”自认为会非常成功等来看,这应归功于“我”在美国教书17年的经验。

2. D。此处说“我”在美国教书17年,“我”对课堂上吸引学生的注意力(hold ones attention) 及讲授英国文学方面的能力是充满自信的。

3. C。从后面的 and the entire class rose 和 …how to get them to sit down again等来看,此处说的是当老师上课时班长喊“起立”的动作让“我”很震惊。

4. C。本文写的是“我”在中国讲授美国文学时所发生的故事。根据中国课堂实际,教师走进课堂班长喊“起立”,故此处应选 entered。

5. B。由下文特别“我”把这一情况看作是尴尬等可知,“我”不适应这种喊“起立”的场面,竟一时不知怎样让学生坐下。be puzzled意为“迷惑,不知所措”。

6. C此处说的是尴尬过后,“我”迅速镇定下来,开始讲已备好的课。regain ones calmness 指“平静下来”。

7. C。由第一段最后提到的,“我”很自信能吸引学生的注意力等以及此空前句 I quickly…a fact-packed lecture来看,(“我”认为)一定(sure)会赢得他们的尊敬—甚至是他们的羡慕”。

8. B。从上面的“会赢得学生的尊敬甚至他们的羡慕”以及 the rosy glow来看,此处说当“我”回到办公室时有一种“成就”感。

9. B。前面说自己有成就感,此处说通过看学生日记,得知学生对那节课评价并不高,与“我”原先的想法大不一样,故此处用 however 表示转折。

10. C。由学生的日记可看出,他们对“我”的那节课评价不高,甚至认为那节课什么也没讲,因此原先的 the rosy glow 就渐渐被 a strong sense of sadness 所取代(replaced)了。

11. B。由上下文可知这是“我”到中国教书时所发生的事,第一节课因不适应而出现了尴尬局面,此处说的是学生日记中的希望,即也许她的下一节课会更好。lecture 指大学里的“(讲授)课”。

12. D。从第一个学生日记中写的 Our literature teacher didnt teach anything today 到后面的“我”的自问 Didnt teach anything 等來看,所有的学生都表达了一个相似的问题—老师什么也没讲,故此处用similar。由于其前冠词为 a,故用 similar。若冠词为 the,则可选 same。

13. B。“我”认为课备得很好,课后“自我”感觉良好,而这些日记告诉“我”那节课上得很糟糕,此处说的是“我”抱怨的话。

14. B。前面谈的是“我”对那节课的感受,这里谈的是一个学期下来,“我”终于明白了学生为什么认为“我”那节课没讲什么的原因了,即“我的有关教育的看法与我的学生的看法不同”已很清楚了,故用 clear。

15. B。根据词语搭配和“老师”的职责可知,此处用raise,句意为“我”认为老师的工作就是“提”一些有趣的问题,给他们提供足够的背景以让他们自己得出结论。

16. D。根据搭配习惯,此处应选 draw,构成短语 draw conclusions。

17. C。与“我”的观点相反,“我”的学生认为老师的职责就是尽可能直接、清楚地为学生提供准确的信息。

18. B。“我”对教育的看法和“我”的学生对教育的看法形成鲜明对比,故用 difference。

19. B此处说的是“我”的教学实践(经验)使“我”成为一名更好的教师。

20. C。这里是说:“我”的经验使“我”能够知道怎样在不同的文化背景中教书了。

(二)

1. B。地球上的资源应是自然的,且下文也出现了 natural resources。

2. C。以前人们不注意保护环境,但如今“不同了”。

3. A。我们正在过快地“用完”自然资源。

4. D。/

5. B。我们在过快地用完自然资源的“同时”我们也在用化学物质“污染”环境。

6. A。从句意看,如果我们“继续”污染环境的话,地球上的人类将不能生存。

7. C。我们污染环境,当然是对“地球上”的人有影响。

8. D。fish 是可数名词。

9. B。如果我们从海中捕捞太多的鱼,不久就不会有鱼“剩下”。

10. A。现在的捕鱼方法是越来越“现代化”。

11. C。鱼只能是被“捕捞”。

12. D。从下文中的 we continue to cut down trees 可知,此处应是越来越多的树被cut down。

13. B。种东西应该是在“土地上”。

14. C。从句首的“yet”可以看出,我们仍然在砍伐“越来越多的”树。

15. A。从句子意思看,此句是表转折,再加之空缺处又用了逗号隔开,所以选 however(然而)。

16. D。现在还“没有”法律来阻止废水直接流入河中或海洋。

17. C。被污染的国家以现在的比率“增加”的话,几年后,我们的粮食将会短缺。

18. B。解决问题只能用“solve”。

19. A。用来种庄稼的土地能够“养活”更多的人。

20. D。教育人们“思考”文章中出现的问题。
