Question

【题目】Dear Linda,

“The only constant (不变的) in life is change.” Have you heard about it before? It means that life is always changing and bringing us new challenges.

________I’ve experienced it many times throughout my life. New teachers, new coworkers…it can be difficult to deal with sometimes. And not all change is good. It can be frustrating (令人沮丧的) to get used to new situations.

However, I do have some suggestions. First, you can talk with your teacher after class and discuss your problem. Do make sure to be polite when you do this – it’s not necessarily your teacher’s fault that you’re having difficulty with her methods. Try to find some common ground. Good teachers will do their best to make sure that all of the students in their classes can benefit (从……受益) from their teaching.

---Mike

Dear Linda,

You should know that studying English is important for your future, but not for your teacher. Try to talk to your teacher. If they can’t help you, I’m afraid you will have to solve the problem by yourself.

I assume (假定) that this teacher is not the only English teacher in your school. You could ask other English teachers some questions during your breaks. You also can learn English outside of school, such as by taking an online English course. You can surely find a suitable teacher for yourself.

All in all, if you don’t want to give up studying English, then you’d better work hard on it, no matter who teaches you. It’s always a good idea to be optimistic (积极的) about any situation you’re in.

【2】C

【4】A

【解析】

本文讲述了迈克和赵鑫给琳达关于不能很好适应英语老师的教学方法的建议。迈克建议是可以在课后和老师讨论问题；试着找到一些共同点。赵鑫建议是试着和老师谈谈；也可以在校外学习英语，比如参加在线英语课程。

【1】细节理解题。根据“it’s not necessarily your teacher’s fault that you’re having difficulty with her methods.”可知你对学习老师的教学方法有困难不一定是老师的错，可推测出此处琳达发现很难接受老师的教学方法，故选D。

【2】推理判断题。根据“First, you can talk with your teacher after class and discuss your problem.”及“Try to talk to your teacher.”可知两人对琳达建议是和新老师谈一谈，故选C。

【3】推理判断题。根据“I’ve experienced it many times throughout my life. New teachers, new coworkers…it can be difficult to deal with sometimes.”可知有时改变很难应付，故选B。

【4】推理判断题。根据“It can be frustrating (令人沮丧的) to get used to new situations.”可知适应新环境是令人沮丧的，所以迈克过去也担心新情况，选项A可以从文中得出；根据“I’ve experienced it many times throughout my life. New teachers, new coworkers”可知迈克已经不是学生，排除B；选项C、D在文中没有提及，故选A。
