I've learned that many times what my students need most is to know that they are loved, and that someone cares about them and beli eves in them. When this happens, they feel safe to take risks and mak e mistakes. I always tell my students, “It's OK to make mistakes. Th at's how we learn.” Then, progress starts to happen, their confidence begins to grow, and they start believing in themselves. Over the years, I have received many gifts from my students a nd their families. Most of them are handwritten “thank­you” notes. These simple notes are so meaningful. I have saved these notes over t he years and have often taken them out to reread them, especially on those challenging days when I need some encouragement. My most unforgettable gift came from a student four years ago. She came in one morning with a huge smile on her face and gave me an apple and a pen (that didn't work) with a hair tie wrapped (包裹) a round it. That was my most memorable gift, because it broke my heart and encouraged me at the same time. Why? Because she didn't have much, but she gave me what she had, and she did it happily! She kne w that I cared about her, and in return, she wanted to find a way to show that she cared about me. This gift reminded (提醒) me that the most important part of te aching is not found in any lesson plan, but it's helping our students un derstand that they are loved. Our lessons become meaningful when stu dents realize their lives have meaning. And that is why teaching can b e so challenging and so meaningful. 【语篇解读】　作者通过自己当老师的经历告诉读者：老师应该让 学生感觉到他们是被老师关爱的。 21．What does the author most probably think of what his professo r once said?

They'd be speaking Old English. Talking to a tenth­centur y Englishman, you'd probably only be able to understand a few words like “a” or “the”. Only about one­sixth of today's English words have an Old English root (词根), with the rest having foreign influence s. Gradually Old English turned into the Middle English that C haucer wrote in — but still the official language of England was Fre nch! It was only in 1362, during Chaucer's lifetime, that English wa s used at the opening of Parliament (议会) for the first time. During t he same year a law called the “Statute of Pleading” was passed, ma king English the official language in Parliament. In 1399, King He nry IV became the first king of England after the Norman Conquest w hose mother tongue was English. English was still a language of low status (地位)— especiall y when it came to writing poetry (诗歌). During the 14th century, the Italians and French were creative. Great poets like Dante were writing in totally new ways. But English had no such great writers. This was where Chaucer made a difference. He took the language of the man in the street and turned it into many famous works, such as The Canterb ury Tales. Chaucer proved poetry written in English could be every bit as good as books in French. Of course, the English language has continued to chan ge since Chaucer's day. For example, Shakespeare's English is quite dif ferent from Chaucer's. And it is still changing now. Until just a few y ears ago, “C U L8R”(see you later) was just a set of letters and nu mbers, but now most people know what it means! 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了英语语言从古 英语到现代英语的变迁。 24．What happened during Chaucer's lifetime?

D．To show how people respond to new words. 答案与解析：A　推理判断题。最后一段主题句是首句“the English language has continued to change”，作者举这个例子是为了说明英语一 直在变化。 26．How is the text developed? A．By space. B．By comparison (比较)． C．By importance. D．By time. 答案与解析：D　推理判断题。分析全文结构及文中的 1362、1399、now 可知，本文是按照时间顺序展开的。 C Should high school students do volunteer work? If your answer is “no”， then think again. Here are some reasons why doing volunteer work is worth your time and effort. In college, you will have to work on a group project. If you're lu cky, most of the students in your group will care about what they are doing and actually work as a team, but that's not always the case. Thi s is where volunteer experience can pay off. When you volunteer for a n event, you don't always know who you will be working with, but y ou know that the job needs to be completed on time. Working with st rangers will actually teach you how to play to your strengths (发挥强 项) in order to get the best results. If you are not confident, volunteering will likely change that very quickly. Since many organizations depend on their volunteers to get thi ngs done, it's not uncommon for you to work as a leader when worki ng on a project. When you work on a project, your confidence will gr ow and others will look to you for advice. The volunteering experienc e will surely serve you well in college and your future employment. In high school, we are with people who share the same values an d cultural backgrounds. When you head off to college, you may find y ourself living with someone from another country or someone who has completely different values. You may feel confused. One important thin g you can learn from volunteering is never to judge (判断) someone b y the way he or she looks — get to know the person first. Volunteering will increase your ability to_think_outside_the_box. Y ou will need to come up with creative solutions for many problems. V olunteering before college can take the word “cannot” out of your v ocabulary. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇议论文。作为高中生，参加志愿者活动 有很多益处，本文介绍了其中的一些。 27．According to Paragraph 2, what does doing volunteer work me an? A．Learning to work as a team.B．Creating a team of your own. C．Knowing your own strengths. D．Getting paid off in the long run. 答案与解析：A　细节理解题。根据第二段的内容可知，做志愿者 工作可以让你学会团队协作。 28．What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A．Many organizations have hard­working volunteers. B．A good leader is a person who likes volunteering. C．Our confidence may get improved when we do volunteer work. D．We'd better do volunteer work as a leader. 答案与解析：C　推理判断题。根据第三段的“If you are not confide nt, volunteering will likely change that very quickly.”可知，参加志愿 者活动可以增强自信心。 29．What does the underlined part in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Thinking very carefully B．Thinking in creative ways. C．Thinking about many different things. D．Thinking as if you had great abilities. 答案与解析：B　句意猜测题。根据末段的“You will need to come up with creative solutions for many problems.”可知，画线部分的意思 是指创新思维。 30．What is the passage mainly about? A．How students can perform better at college. B．Why high school students should do volunteer work. C．Why high school students like doing volunteer work. D．How students can make their school life better.答案与解析：B　主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，本文主要是讲高 中生为什么要做志愿者工作。 第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项， 选项中有两项为多余选项。 When you learn a new subject, you may always consider how mu ch time you need to truly understand it all.
