5.Maggiano is an award-winning teacher in the Social Studies Department at West Springfield High School in Virginia.He has taught in public and private schools for 25years.In a piece on his blog called"The Classroom Post,"he calls for more males to enter the profession(职业).
Men Teach,a non-profit organization that encourages men to enter teaching,reports that in 2008,18.8% of all elementary and middle school teachers were men.At the high school level during the same year,men comprised(构成) 44% of the work force.
Why are there so few men in teaching?Men Teach says low pay and lack of prestige(声望),as well as a perception in our culture that teaching is for women.As a result,there is no organized effort across the country to attract men into the teaching profession.
A study in 2008by the National Education Association showed that the number of male teachers hit a record 40-year low.Males comprised 24.5percent of public schoolteachers.States with high percentages:Kansas (33.6percent),Oregon (31.6percent),Alaska (30.9percent) and Indiana (30.5percent).States with the lowest percentage:Arkansas (16.2percent),Virginia (17.4percent),Mississippi (17.5percent),Louisiana (18percent),South Carolina (18.5percent) and Georgia (19.7percent).
There is no definitive(确定) research that male students--or female students,for that matter--learn better from a particular sex.
But as Maggiano put it,"Kids today,both boys and girls,must have the same opportunity to learn from outstanding,devoted men that I did.However,I have heard little discussion about this problem coming from our national leaders.

45.What worries Maggiano is thatC.
A.nobody will take his place when he retires
B.male teachers are not so excellent
C.men are not interested in teaching
D.there is not enough teachers in the schools
46.According to the text,we can infer thatB.
A.the number of male teachers hit a record 40-year low in 2008
B.it is not sure students will learn better from male teachers
C.male teachers get a higher pay
D.organized efforts have been made to call on men into the teaching profession
47.In which state are male teachers most badly needed?D
A.Alaska    B.Virginia    
C.Georgia   D.Arkansas
48.What does the last paragraph suggest?A
A.The government doesn't pay much attention to the shortage of male teachers in the school.
B.Students find it easy to learn from male teachers.
C.I'm glad to hear the discussion about the shortage of male teachers in the school.
D.The shortage of male teachers in the school has no effect on students.

分析 本文是一篇说明文.主要阐述了呼吁更多的男性同胞从事教师这个行业.Maggiano 是在西维吉尼亚州的斯普林菲尔德高中的一位获奖教师,他呼吁呼吁更多的男性同胞从事教师这个行业.‘男性教育'一个非盈利组织也鼓励男性进入教师行业,调查显示,男性在教育中比例偏小.为什么男性从事教育的少呢?不高的薪水、缺少社会声望、人们传统的观念,认为教育是女性从事的职业.

解答 45---48 CBDA
45.C   推理判断题.根据第三段中的"low pay and lack of prestige(声望),as well as a perception in our culture that teaching is for women.As a result,there is no organized effort across the country to attract men into the teaching profession"可知,不高的薪水、缺少社会声望、人们传统的观念--认为教育是女性从事的职业,没有强大的组织力量来吸引男性同胞从事教育行业,即男性对教育行业不感兴趣,故选C.
46.B  推理判断题.根据第五段中的"There is no definitive(确定) research that male students--or female students,for that matter--learn better from a particular sex"可知,还没有确定的研究表明到底是哪个特定的性别更有利于学生更好的学习,故选B.
47.D    细节理解题.根据第四段中的"States with the lowest percentage:Arkansas (16.2percent),Virginia (17.4percent),Mississippi (17.5percent),Louisiana (18percent),South Carolina (18.5percent) and Georgia (19.7percent)"可知,在Arkansas (16.2percent),男性从事教育的排名是最低的,故选D.
48.A     推理判断题.根据最后一段中"However,I have heard little discussion about this problem coming from our national leaders."可知,政府主管部门应该更加关注男性教师缺乏的问题,故选A.

点评 解答细节理解题时,一个常用的方法就是运用定位法,即根据题干和选项中的关键词从原文中找到相关的句子,与选项进行比较从而确定答案;推理判断题既要求学生透过文章表面文字信息推测文章隐含意思,又要求学生对作者的态度、意图及文章细节的发展作正确的推理判断,力求从作者的角度去考虑,不要固守自己的看法或观点.

15.Public schools in Washington,D.C.provide students with musical instruments for free.When something goes wrong with an instrument,Charles West and Larry Jernigan  do the repairs.Both men approach their work with a passion(激情).For them,it's important that students have a joyful experience with music.
The two have worked together for almost 20years.This year alone,they've fixed about 450instruments.Both men are musicians and music lovers,so learning to do repairs came naturally.
"I have been a musician all my life."says West."I played in an orchestra here in the city.I majored in music in college.I played in an army band."
Jernigan's musical interests are varied."I was formerly trained in the piano and guitar.The alto sax,and the flute,I picked up while working here."
In addition to fixing instruments,the two also go to schools to instruct teachers and students on how to make minor repairs on their own.
West believes if children start early and stay involved with music,it enriches other areas of their lives."I see that in other kids.I see it in myself.I have seen it hundreds of times and it works."he says."They learn teamwork.They learn patience and respect."
But West has concerns about the future of music in the electronic age."This instant age has taken away from the sit-down,the patience.And to learn to play an instrument,it takes patience,it takes diligence.It takes time."
Being able to enjoy music on the job is one of the benefits of the job.Both men agree their best rewards are the students'performances.

B.They can play and repair musical instruments.
C.Jernigan used to play in all army band.
D.West was trained to play the piano.
39.According to West,what can people learn from music?A
A.Teamwork and patience.    B.The value of time.
C.The truth of society.     D.Diligence and confidence
40.What is mainly talked about in the text?D
