1．In my living room，there is a plaque （匾） that advises me to"Bloom （开花） where you are planted．"It reminds me of Dorothy．I got to know Dorothy in the early 1980s，when I was teaching Early Childhood Development through a program with Union College in Barbourville，Kentucky．The job responsibilities required occasional visits to the classroom of each teacher in the program．Dorothy stands out in my memory as one who"bloomed"in her remote area．
Dorothy taught in a school In Harlan County，Kentucky，Appalachian Mountain area．To get to her school from the town of Harlan，I followed a road winding around the mountain．In the eight-mile journey，I crossed the same railroad track five times，giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times．Rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains，I found it depressing．The poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness．
From the moment of my arrival at the little school，all gloom （忧郁） disappeared．Upon arriving at Dorothy's classroom．I was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen．The children had been prepared to show me their latest projects．Dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for"dinner"（lunch）．In case you don't know，poke greens are a weed-type plant that grows wild，especially on poor ground．
Dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students．Her enthusiasm never cooled down．When it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive her Child Development Associate Certification，Dorothy was ready．She came to the assessment and passed in all areas．Afterward，she invited me to the one-and-only steak house in the area to celebrate her victory，as if she had received her Ph．D．degree．After the meal，she placed a little box containing an old pen in my hand．She said it was a family heirloom （传家宝），but to me it is a treasured symbol of appreciation and pride that cannot be matched with things．（360 words）

分析 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，通过作者对一块匾引起了回忆．文章主要讲述了作者作为一个项目的评估专家去拜访一位贫困山区的教师的故事．开始一路上的穷困景象让作者很沮丧，但后来这位教师以及她的学生们的热情和乐观使作者深受感动且印象深刻．
解答 61．B 细节理解题．A 选项出现了program，容易误导学生选择，但后面给的是Dorothy，而这是作者的记忆深刻的人；C选项明显错误；D选项提到了Union College，但说的是由Union College赞助的一个组织，而这是错误信息．文章第一段中提到：I was teaching"Early Childhood Development"through a program，可知Early Childhood Development是作者教的一门课程．所以本题选择B．
62．B 推理判断题．文章第二段"the small shabby house gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness．"，题干是作者看到了什么而感到非常失望，所以答案选择B．
63．A 推理判断题．文章第三段"I was greeted with．smiling faces and treated like a queen"可知作者受到了热烈欢迎．所以本题选择A．
64．C 推理判断题．根据文章最后一段中的"she come to the assessment and passed in all areas．"可知答案选择C．A 选项Dorothy邀请作者去"steak house"来庆祝她的成功，而选项给的是restaurant，故错误．B选项文中提到的是Dorothy 给作者一支钢笔，而不是Dorothy 得到了一支钢笔．D选项说Dorothy 获得博士学位，而文中的信息是用了虚拟语气，"as if she had received her Ph．D．degree．"
65．D 主旨大意题．作者在文章开头提到了那块有着不寻常意义的匾上的字，"Bloom where you are planted．"，即"在你被播种的地方开花"，并通过一个真实的故事告诉我们，不管我们在哪里，都可以实现自己的梦想，取得成就，所以正确答案是D
点评 这类文章一般描述的是某一件具体事情的发生发展或结局，有人物、时间、地点和事件．命题往往从故事的情节、人物或事件的之间的关系、作者的态度及意图、故事前因和后果的推测等方面着手．
