 He is a man of few words, and seldom speaks until _____ to.

  A. spoken    B. speaking ?C. speak    D. be spoken

A


解析:

此题容易误选B,认为until是介词,后接动词时用动名词形式。其实,此题应选A,until spoken to为until he is spoken to之省略。句意为“他是个沉默寡言的人,别人不同他说话,他很少同别人说话”。按英语习惯,一些表示时间、地点、条件、方式、让步等的状语从句,若其主语与主句主语一致,且从句谓语包含动词be,那么可将从句的主语和动词be省略:?

  One morning, Mrs Smith was driving home after She had done some shopping. When she passed a rubbish dump, she noticed 1 like a microwave oven not far from the side of the road.

  “John is a good 2 ,” she said to herself. “Perhaps he can 3 this. I'll take it home and let him try.”

  She picked up the oven and put it in the 4 of her car. Then she drove on 5 . A few kilometers later, she heard the siren of 6 behind her. She looked in the driving mirror and saw a policeman 7 to her to pull over and stop.

阅读理解

  Many years ago my student asked me the question,“Mrs.Kindred, why do you teach?”Without taking time to reflect, I answered,“Because someday I might say something that might make a difference in someone's life.”Even though I was sincere, that wasn't a very good answer and my student didn't let it slide.

  “Let me get this straight,”he said,“You went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone?”He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused.I'm one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty, or swift.

  Even though that particular student might no longer wonder why I teach, there are days when I wonder.On those days, I remind myself of the real reasons I teach:

  It's in my blood.My mother was my most influential teacher, and she was a 6th grade reading teacher until her death in 1990.She instilled(逐渐灌输)in me a love of reading and the knowledge that education opens doors for.

  Teaching is a way to make a difference.If you throw a stone in a pond the ripples go on and on until they reach the shore.You can't have ripples without a“stone.”Good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference, and that's what I strive to do.

  I genuinely love teenagers.

  I want to share with others what I know and what I have learned through the years.Life is full of ups and downs, and if I can help students avoid some potholes(洞坑)on the road of life, I want to do so.If they'll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, I want to do too.

  Teaching isn't for everyone, but I know I made the right career choice.

(1)

Why did the student continue to ask the question about the writer's being a teacher?

[  ]

A.

Because he thought her answer was unbelievable.

B.

Because the writer was insincere.

C.

Because the student was naughty.

D.

Because the answer was difficult to understand.

(2)

What do you think of the writer?

[  ]

A.

Stupid.

B.

Honest.

C.

Conservative(保守的).

D.

Polite.

(3)

According to the text, which of the following is NOT true?

[  ]

A.

The writer's mother has the greatest influence on her.

B.

The writer's answer made the student confused.

C.

In the writer's opinion, some people in the world are unfit to teach.

D.

The writer annoyed the student who asked the question.

(4)

We can infer from the text that ________.

[  ]

A.

the writer was also a good teacher in school

B.

the writer often plays with her students beside a pond

C.

the writer devotes herself to teaching and her students

D.

the writer often accompanies the students on their way home

(5)

What's the main idea of the text?

[  ]

A.

A student's silly question.

B.

A good teacher who likes students.

C.

A confused student.

D.

The reason why I teach.

While watching the Olympics the other night,I came across an incredible sight.The 1 was swimming and started with only three men.For one reason or another,two of them had a 2 start,so they were disqualified.That would have been difficult enough,not having anyone to  3 against.
I watched the man 4 off the blocks and knew immediately that something was wrong.Now I’m not an expert 5 but I do know a good dive 6 a poor one,and this was not exactly medal 7 .I listened to the crowd begin to 8 this poor man who was clearly having a 9 time.Finally he made his turn to start back.It was 10 .He made a few desperate strokes (划水) and you could tell he was exhausted.
But in those few 11 strokes,the crowd had changed.No longer were they laughing,but beginning to 12 .Some even began to 13 things like,“Come on,you can do it!”,and he 14 finished his race.The crowd went 15 .Even though he recorded one of the 16 times in Olympic history,this man gave more heart than any of the other 17 .
In a competition where athletes remove their silver medals,feeling they have 18 been cheated out of gold,or when they act so 19 in front of their competitors,it is nice to watch an underdog (失败者),a man that gave his all—knowing that he had no chance,but competed because of his 20 and the spirit of the games.
