From age eight to eleven, I attended a small school in Bath, England. It was a small school of four classes with about twenty-five children in each class according to age. For the most part, one teacher had to teach all subjects to the children in the class. However, sometimes the headmaster, Mr. Ronald Broches, would come in and spend an hour or so,teaching some subjects in which he was especially interested. He was a large man with a very happy nature. He had a sense of humor and would delight in telling the children small stories that would make us laugh. He was a very fair man and had a great influence on many of the children.
In my own case , I found that he took great interest in me and he quickly found that I enjoyed puzzles(难题) . He would often stop me as I was going to class and take a piece of paper out of his pocket, often with a puzzle on it. The puzzles were usually mathematical or logical. As time went on, they slowly got more difficult, but I loved them. Not only that, they made me interested in math and problem-solving that stays with me to this day. They also showed me that intellectual(智力的) activity was rewarding when the correct answers were found, but perhaps more importantly it was great fun.
To this day, I can remember Mr. Broches’ cheerful cry of “Well done!” whenever I got a problem right. The simple communication with a man whom I loved greatly has had a deep influence on my life. I shall forever be thankful that our paths crossed. Mr. Broches died just two weeks after I had won the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Unluckily, I had no chance to speak to him before he died. I learnt later that he heard of my success and I will always hope that he knew the deep influence he had made on my life.
56. There were about children in each class when the writer was in the school in Bath, England.
A. 4 B.8 C.11 D.25
57. From the text, we can learn that .
A the puzzles made the students laugh
B the students were afraid of the headmaster
C the puzzles made Richard enjoy math
D the headmaster never taught in the school.
58. The writer felt sorry because .
A. Mr. Broches had passed away before he won the Nobel Brize
B. he didn’t express his thanks before Mr. Broches died
C. he couldn’t find Mr. Broches after he grew up
D. Mr. Broches didn’t know his success

选择恰当的主题句
Read the following text and choose the most suitable topic sentence from A—E for each paragraph. There is an extra one which you do not need.
|
A. l don’t really know my daughter，for she isn’t easy to get on with. B. We were closest when she was about four，which I think is a wonderful age for a child. C. I’m very pleased to have Carmen. D. My first wife and I only had one child. E. I’ve always wanted the best for her. |
Family Matters
Oliver Darrow, actor, talks about his daughter, Carmen．
72 It might have been nice to have more. I would have liked a son，but we just had Carmen.
I see her as my best friend. I think she always comes to me first if she has a problem. We have the same sense of humour and share many interests，except that she’s crazy about animals，obsessed with them-she has always had dogs，cats，and horses in her life.
73 That’s when they need their parents most．But as soon as Carmen went to school，she seemed to grow up and grow apart from her family, and any father finds it difficult with a teenage daughter. She was very moody and had an odd group of friends. There was an endless stream of strange young men coming to our house. I remember I once got annoyed with her in front of her friends and she didn’t talk to me for days.
74 We sent her to a good school, but she wasn’t happy there. She left because she wanted to become an actress. So with my connections I got her into drama school. but she didn’t like that either. She worked for a while，doing small roles in films, but she must have found it boring because she gave it up，though she never really said why. She got married a few years ago; her husband’s a vet. They must be happy because they work together. and she loves animals.
We have the same tastes in books and music，When she was younger I used to take her to the opera-that’s nay passion-but she can’t have liked it very much because she hasn’t come with me for years. I don’t think she goes to the cinema or watches TV much. She might watch my films. but I don’t know. It’s not the kind of thing she talks to me about.
75 ．She’s a good daughter, but I don’t think she likes my new wife very much because she doesn’t visit us very often. I’m looking forward to being a grandfather one day. I hope she’ll have a son.
