题目列表(包括答案和解析)


Tom was one of the brightest boys in the year, with supportive parents. But when he was 15 he suddenly stopped trying. He left school at 16 with only two scores for secondary school subjects. One of the reasons that made it cool for him not to care was the power of his peer(同龄人) group.
The lack of right male(男性的) role models in many of their lives — at home and particularly in the school environment(环境) — means that their peers are the only people they have to judge themselves against.
They don’t see men succeeding in society so it doesn’t occur to them that they could make something of themselves. Without male teachers as a role model, the effect of peer actions and street culture(文化) is all-powerful. Boys want to be part of a club. However, schools can provide the environment for change, and provide the right role models for them. Teachers need to be trained to stop that but not in front of a child’s peers. You have to do it one to one, because that is when you see the real child.
It’s pointless sending a child home if he or she has done wrong. They see it as a welcome day off to watch television or play computer games. Instead, schools should have a special unit where a child who has done wrong goes for the day and gets advice about his problems — somewhere he can work away from his peers and go home after the other children.
【小题1】Why did Tom give up studying?

A.He disliked his teachers.
B.His parents no longer supported him.
C.It’s cool for boys of his age not to care about studies.
D.There were too many subjects in his secondary school.
【小题2】What seems to have a bad effect on students like Tom?
A.Peer groups.B.A special unit.
C.The student judges.D.The home environment.
【小题3】What should schools do to help the problem schoolboys?
A.Wait for their change patiently.
B.Train leaders of their peer groups.
C.Stop the development of street culture.
D.Give them lessons in a separate area.
【小题4】A teacher’s work is most effective with a schoolboy when he ______.
A.is with the boy alone
B.teaches the boy a lesson
C.sends the boy home as punishment
D.works together with another teacher

Tom was a middle-aged leather trader whose repeated failure in career

made him a depressed man, often complaining that others had been playing tricks on him. One day he told his wife he was so   16  with the city that he had to leave.

So his family moved to    17   city. It was in the evening of aweekend when Tom and his wife were busy   18  up their new home

   19 the light suddenly went out. So they had to  20  work. Tom was regretful to have forgotten bringing along candles and had to wait   21 in a low mood. Just then he heard slight, hesitant knocks on his door that sounded clear in the   22 night.

“Who’s it?” he wondered, since Tom had no   23 in the new city.

And this was the moment he especially disliked being disturbed.   24 , he went reluctantly to the door and opened it impatiently. At the door was a little girl, shyly asking, “Sir, do you have   25  ? I’m your neighbor.” “No,” answered Tom in anger and shut the door violently. “What a nuisance!” he complained over it with his wife. “No sooner had we settled down   26  the neighbor came to   27  things.” After a while, the door was knocked   28 . He opened it and found the same girl outside. But this time she was holding two candles, saying, “My grandma told me the new neighbor downstairs might need candles. She   29  me here to give you these.” Tom was very   30  by what he saw. When he became fully aware, he said, “Thank you and your  31  . God bless you!”

At that moment he suddenly realized what caused his   32 in life. It

was his  33 and harshness(刻薄)with other people. The person who had cheated him in life was   34   nobody else but himself, for he had fallen for his unsympathetic   35 .
