There are lessons we learn in the classroom and lessons we just happen to learn,while in a classroom.
“What I'm teaching them to do is to extend themselves and to learn to do things they didn't do before,”said Siena Professor Dr.Jim Nolan.
That is what Nolan has had to do ever since September 6th.2010 when he was biking,went down an embankment(路堤)and landed on his head.He broke his neck and spine(脊椎).We first met Dr.Nolan this past May as a quadriplegic(四肢瘫痪者),walking again.His goal then was to get back into the classroom.Now,he is.
“I was right up front with them when I rolled in.They surprisedly saw me in the wheelchair so I explained to them I have many challenges,”said Nolan.
Siena and Nolan's occupational therapist worked to help him overcome those challenges.They went to his office,even his classroom.
“I_can_do_anything_from_my_laptop_that_anyone_could_do_at_the_platform.There are times I will give them what I call lessons in perseverance.”said Nolan.
The class he is teaching is a freshman forum class.The students are learning just as much about starting a new chapter in life as they are about school.Their professor is following a parallel path.He is sharing what he learned in physical therapy.
“She asked me to move my legs a certain way.I tried,and looked at her and said I can't do it.She said to me.I don't ever want to hear you say you can't do it again,”said Nolan.
Nolan says he realized at that moment that his future was up to him.Once unable to move his legs or arms,he is now walking 1520 minutes at a time with a walker and is even driving himself to work.
9.Nolan became disabled ________.
A.after he fell off his bike
B.because of a traffic accident
C.due to his carelessness
D.when he took exercise
10.The first time Nolan rolled in the classroom,the students felt________.
A.upset B.amazed
C.worried D.frightened
11.What can we learn from the underlined sentence?
A.Nolan has been very used to this kind of life.
B.Nolan can do things at the platform better than other teachers.
C.Nolan's laptop helps him a lot at the platform.
D.Nolan prefers to give lessons at the platform.
12.What impresses us most about Nolan is his________.
A.experiences B.lessons
C.family D.will
答案:9.A 解析:细节理解题。第三段提到:Nolan骑自行车沿着路堤下行突然摔倒,脖子断了。可知是他从自行车上摔下导致了残疾。
10.B 解析:细节理解题。由第四段“I was right up front with them when I rolled in.They surprisedly saw me in the wheelchair so I explained to them I have many challenges,”said Nolan.可知当他第一次摇着轮椅进教室时,学生们非常惊讶。
11.C 解析:推理判断题。该划线句句意为:我能用笔记本电脑做任何人在讲台上做的任何事情。可见在讲台上笔记本电脑对他帮助很大。
12.D 解析:推理判断题。由Nolan能够在身体残疾后勇敢地面对现实、克服障碍、重返讲坛可知他意志坚强。
D
When another old cave is discovered in the south of France,it is not usually news.Rather,it is an ordinary event.Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly anybody notices them.However,when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in 1940,the world was amazed.Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes.Showing how people lived thousands of years ago.The scenes show people hunting animals,such as bison or wild cats.Other images depict birds and most noticeably,horses,which appear in more than 300 wall images by far outnumbering(超出) all other animals.
Early artists drawing these animals accomplished (完成)a monumental and difficult task.They did not limit themselves to the easily accessible walls but carried their painting materials to spaces that required climbing steep walls or crawling into narrow passages (通道) in the Lascaux complex.
Unfortunately,the paintings have been exposed to the destructive(破坏性的)action of water and temperature changes,which easily wear the images away. Because the Lascaux caves have many entrances,air movement has also damaged the images inside.
Although they are not out in the open air,where natural light would have destroyed them long ago,many of the images have deteriorated and are barely recognizable.To prevent further damage,the site was closed to tourists (旅游者)in 1963,23 years after it was discovered.
13.Which title best summarizes the main idea of the passage?
A.Wild Animals in Art
B.Hidden Prehistoric Paintings
C.Exploring Caves Respectfully
D.Determining the Age of French Caves
14.What does the underlined word“depict”in the first paragraph mean?
A.Show. B.Hunt.
C.Count. D.Draw.
15.Why was painting inside the Lascaux complex a difficult task?
A.It was completely dark inside.
B.The caves were full of wild animals.
C.Painting materials were hard to find.
D.Many painting spaces were difficult to reach.
答案:13.B 解析:由全文内容概括可知。
14.A 解析:句中depict意为“表明;展示”。
15.D 解析:由原文第二段内容可知。
