一、阅读理解（每小题 5 分，共 40 分）
1. If you make a list of the top ten most challenging jobs in the world, chances
are that being a teacher will not make the cut. Let's think about their complex task
millions of educators face each day as they try to teach a group of often unfriendly,
disorderly kids into intelligent, well-rounded individuals. That surely has to be
the toughest job in the world, especially taking into consideration that there is
no promotion waiting for them even if they are wildly successful.
What if these all-important individuals that we often take for granted
disappear from our lives? That was what Project Ed and Participant Media's teaching
campaign asked filmmakers of all ages to envision(想象) for their recently-held
contest.
Their short films were called "A World without Teachers", whose intention
was to inspire more young people to become teachers. However, the 62 amazing video
submissions(提交物) also serve as a reminder of how terrible things would be if we
didn't have these selfless individuals guiding us through life. What was interesting
is that even the youngest contestants didn't accept the idea that there's no person
to tell them what to do.
High-school student Savannah Wakefield considered if art as we know today
would have been different without teachers. Would C. Monet have discovered his talent
for impressionism? Miles Horst, who won the 1,000-dollar prize for the best submission, envisions
a world where teachers are replaced by a "brain box" in his fun animated entry. Youth
category winner Marina Barham's video describes a fact we all know but often forget.
Teachers don't just teach; they inspire — something that no electronic device, no
matter how smart, can do!
So the next time you think your teacher is being "troublesome" for trying
to channel you in the right direction, imagine a life without him / her. We have a
feeling it will not appear as rosy!
(1)Project Ed and Participant Media's teaching campaign asked contestant
to .
A、inspire more young people to become teachers.
B、imagine what the world would be like without teachers.
C、point out which teacher has inspired them most.
D、describe what effect teachers would have on their life.
答 案 B
解 析
根据文章第二段“What if these all-important individuals that we often
take for granted disappear from our lives?”如果这些我们通常认为理所当然
的重要人物从我们的生活中消失了呢？故教学活动要求参赛者考虑如果没有老
师的生活会是怎样。故选 B。
(2)What is suggested in the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4?A、Monet is regarded as the father of impressionism.

D、Monet was good at discovering his student's talent for drawing.
答 案 C
解 析

art as we know today would have been different without teachers.”高中生萨
凡娜·韦克菲尔德考虑过，如果没有老师，我们今天所知道的艺术会不会有所
不同。意思为他的成功离不开老师，故选 C。
(3)what does Marina Barham's video tell us?
A、The role of teachers cannot be replaced by anything else.
B、Teachers prefer to inspire their students instead of teaching.
C、The function of teachers cannot be forgotten by the world.
D、Teachers often show the right direction to their students.
答 案 A
解 析
根 据 文 章 倒 数 第 二 段 “Youth category winner Marina Barham's video
describes a fact we all know but often forget. Teachers don't just teach;
they inspire — something that no electronic device, no matter how smart, can do!”青年组冠军玛丽娜·巴勒姆的视频描述了一个我们都知道却常常忘记
的事实。教师不仅仅是教书，他们还启发人们——任何电子设备，无论多么聪
明，都做不到的事情！故选 A。
(4)The author's attitude towards the function of teachers is .
A、negative B、doubtful C、positive D、neutral
答 案 C
解 析
从文章的内容尤其是最后一段可知，作者非常认可老师的重要性，认为老师是
学生成长和发展的引路人。故答案选 C 项，作者对教师的作用持积极的态度。
2. Some people are lucky enough to be born with a good sense of direction and
even if they have only visited a place once, they will be able to find it again years
later.
I am one of those unfortunate people who have poor sense of direction and
I may have visited a place time after time but I still get lost on my way there. When
I was young I was so shy that I never dared ask complete strangers the way and so
I used to wander round in circles and hope that by some chance I would get to the
spot I was heading for.
I am no longer too shy to ask people for direction, but I often receive replies
that puzzle me. Often people do not like to admit that they didn't know their hometown
and will insist on telling you the way, even if they do not know it; others, who are
anxious to prove that they know their hometown very well, will give you a long list
of directions which you can not possibly hope to remember, and still others do not
seem to be able to tell between their left and their right and you find in the end
that you are going in the opposite direction to that in which you should be going.
If anyone ever asks me the way to somewhere, I always tell them I am a stranger to the town in order to avoid giving them wrong direction but even this can have
embarrassing results.
Once I was on my way to work when I was stopped by a man who asked me if I
would direct him the way to the Sunlight Building. I gave my usual reply, but I had
not walked on a few steps when I realized that he had asked for directions to my office
building. However, at this point, I decide it was too late to turn back and search
for him out of the crowd behind me as I was going to meet with someone at the office
and I did not want to keep him waiting.
Imagine my embarrassment when my secretary showed in the very man who had
asked for directions to my office and his astonishment when he recognized me as the
person he had asked.
(1)What is the writer going to do when someone asks him for direction?
A、He will direct the right way to the person willingly.
B、He will reply to it by the means of being a stranger to the town.
C、He will give the very person long list of direction.
D、He is going to show the man an opposite direction.
答 案 B
解 析
根据第三段 If anyone ever asks me the way to somewhere, I always tell
them I am a stranger to the town... 可知，作者是假装陌生人，避免给陌生人
指路，故选 B。
(2)Why did the writer consider himself to be an unlucky dog?A、Because of his poor sense of direction.
B、Because he always forget the way to home.
C、Because he did not have any friend.
D、Because he used to be shy and dared not ask others the way.
答 案 A
解 析
根据文章第二段第一句 I am one of those unfortunate people who have poor
sense of direction and I may have visited a place time after time but
I still get lost on my way there. 可知作者没有方向感，所以觉得自己很倒霉。
故选 A。
(3)How did the visitor feel when he was showed into the very room?
A、He felt strange.
B、He felt embarrassed.
C、He felt very sad.
D、He felt astonished.
答 案 D
解 析
根据文章最后一段 ... and his astonishment when he recognized me as the
person he had asked. 可知那个人看到作者很惊讶，故选 D。(4)Who showed the right way to the interviewee according to the passage?
A、Someone we don't know.
B、The writer did it for himself.
C、The secretary did so.
D、A warm-hearted old lady did such a thing.
答 案 A
解 析 根据文章内容可知，关于是谁把那个人带到办公室，文章并没有提及，故选 A。
