A.is increasedB.are increasedC.has increasedD.have increased

分析 由于校长的努力,在山区小学工作的老师数量已经达到了9个.

解答 答案为C.根据句子结构分析Thanks to the headmaster's hard work(状语),the number of the teachers (主语)working in this remote village school(定语)__________  (谓语)to nine(宾语),可知主语the number 和increase之间是主动关系,所以排除AB,又根据"Thanks to the headmaster's hard work"可知后句表示到现在在山区小学工作的老师数量已经达到了9个,所以谓语动词用现在完成时,同时句子的主语为the number,所以谓语动词用第三人称单数,因此答案为C.

点评 考查现在完成时.
the number of表示"…的数量",跟复数名词连用作主语时,中心词是number,谓语动词要用单数.例如:
The number of students in our class is50.我们班学生的数量是50人.
a number of表示"许多",相当于 many,修饰可数名词复数.作主语时,谓语动词用复数.number前可用large,small等修饰,以表示程度.例如:
A number of students are planting trees on the hill.许多学生在小山上植树.

15.A funny thing happened on the way to the communications revolutions:we stopped talking to one another.
  I was walking in the park with a friend recently,and his cell phone rang,interrupting our conversation.There we were,walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and…I became invisible(看不见的),absent from the conversation.
  The telephone used to connect you to the absent.Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent.Why is it that the more connected we get,the more disconnected I feel?Every advance in communications technology is a tragedy to the closeness of human interaction.With email and instant messaging over the Internet,we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another.With voice mail,you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone.If my mom has a question,I just leave the answer on her machine.
  As almost every contact we can imagine between human beings gets automated,we are now feeling more distant from one another.You can't even call a person to get the phone number of another person any more.Directory assistance is almost always fully automated.
  I am not against modern technology.I own a cell phone,an ATM card,a voice mail system,and an email account.Giving them up isn't wise…they're a great help to use.It's some of their possible consequences that make me feel uneasy.
  More and more I find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversation,or being relieved that voice mail picked up because I didn't really have time to talk.The industry devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier.
  So I've put myself on technology restriction:no instant messaging with people who live near me,no cell phoning in the presence of friends,no letting the voice mail pick up when I'm at home.
64.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?B
A.The Advance of Communications Technology.
B.The Consequences of Modern Technology.
C.The Story of Communications Revolution.
D.The Automation of Modern Communications
65.The sentence"Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent,"means thatC.
A.the people sitting beside you have to go away to receive a phone call
B.you can hardly get in touch with the people sitting beside you   
C.modern technology makes it hard for people to have a face-to-face talk   
D.people can now go to work without going to the office
66.The writer feels that the use of modern communications isD.
A.encouraging       B.disappointing    C.satisfying      D.embarrassing 
67.The passage implies thatA.
A.modern technology is separating the people     
B.modern technology is bridging the people.
C.modern technology is developing too fast
D.modern technology is interrupting our communications.

16.A month after Hurricane Katrina,I returned home in New Orleans.There lay my house,reduced to waist-high rains,smelly and dirty.
Before the trip,I'd had my car fixed.When the office employee of the garage was writing up the bill,she noticed my Louisiana license plate."You from New Orleans?"she asked.I said I was,"No charge."She said,and firmly shook her head when I reached for my wallet.The next day I went for a haircut,and the same thing happened.
As my wife was studying in Florida,we decided to move there and tried to find a rental house that we could afford while also paying off a mortgage(抵押贷款) on our ruined house.We looked at many places,but none was satisfactory.We'd began to accept that we'd have to live in extremely reduced circumstances for a while,when I got a very curious e-mail from a James Kennedy in California.He'd read some pieces I'd written about our sufferings for state,the online magazine and wanted to give us ("no conditions attached") a new house across the lake from New Orleans.It sounded a good to her return,but I replied,thinking him for his exceptional generosity,then we to go back.Then the University of Florida offered to let him house to me.While he want to England on his one year,paid leave.The rent was rather reasonable.I mentioned the poet's offer to James Kennedy,and the next day he sent a check covering our entire rent for eight months.
Throughout this painful experience,the kindness of strangers has done much to bring back my faith in humanity.It's almost worth losing you wordy possessions to be reminded that people really when given had a channel.

13.As I sit at home thinking about my upcoming adventure and the things I need to bring,it makes me even more excited to begin my travel.I will be making my way around the world.

20.I arrived in the classroom,ready to share my knowledge and experience with 76 students who would be my English literature class.Having taught in the US for 17 years,I have no doubt about my ability to hold their attention and to impress on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue.
I was shocked when the monitor shouted,"stand up!"The entire class rose as I entered the room and I was somewhat puzzled about how to get them to sit down again,but once the embarrassment (尴尬) was over,I quickly regained my calmness and admiration.I went back to my office with the rosy glow which came from a strong sense of achievement.
My students kept diaries.However,as I read them,the rosy glow was gradually replaced by a strong sense of sadness.The first diary said,"Our literature teacher didn't teach us anything today.Perhaps her next lecture will be better."Greatly surprised,I read diary after diary,each expressing a similar theme."Didn't I teach them anything?I described the entire Western philosophy (哲学) and laid the historical background for all the works we will study in class."I complained."How should they say I didn't teach them anything?"
It was a long term,and it gradually became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as those of my students.I thought a teacher's job was to raise interesting questions and provide enough background so that students could draw their own conclusions.My students thought a teacher's job was to provide exact information as directly and clearly as possible.What a difference!
However,I also learned a lot,and the experience with my Chinese students has made me a better American teacher,knowing how to teach in a different culture.
56.We can know that on the first day the writerC.
A.felt she didn't teach them much
B.was very confident in her students
C.felt very confident in herself at first

B.students'admiration
C.students'embarrassment          
D.the same experience
58.The writer learnt from their diaries that the students wanted toD.
A.raise interesting questions           
B.know about background
C.draw their own conclusions    
D.know more exact facts
59.Which of the following is true according to the passage?D
A.The writer got used to the life in China.
B.The writer doubted about her ability of teaching.
