第 1 页 共 20 页 There was a very naughty boy in the nursery and a teacher who was generally very confident with the
children was asked to take charge of him. One day the boy joined a session in the room next to mine. His
appearance created an atmosphere of tension. He spent the entire session running around, hitting and kicking, and
destroying property.
I was in the craft room working with some other children when my co-worker told me that this boy’s teacher
was in tears, and could not get control of the situation. As we were talking, the boy ran in. I told my co-worker
that I would take care of him.
I closed the door. He was full of energy, throwing things around and making a huge mess. But I could see
that he was doing all these to annoy me. He needed connection, and this was the only way he knew how to ask for
it. So I sat back down and kept quiet. Then he slowed down and began making a rocket. I talked to him about it.
We continued like this for a few minutes before I slipped into the conversation:
―So what happened today?‖
It was purely a question, no blame or anger in my tone. I believe that if I had criticized him, the gate that was
slowly opening would have shut firmly closed. He told me that the teacher didn’t let him do what he knew well
due to safety but asked him to do what he disliked. He also admitted that he had enjoyed making her run around
and saw it as a game. I explained that his teacher had not seen it as a game and was very upset. This again was
stated simply as a fact. I suggested that next time he had a session, he talk about what he hoped to do at the start,
which might be easier for everyone. He agreed and was quiet for a moment. Then he looked at me with tears in his
eyes before quietly asking if he could go to find his teacher to apologize.
51. The boy made trouble for his teacher because he ______.
A. was accused of destroying property B. was told not to yell at other children
C. was made to do things against his will D. was blamed for creating an air of tension

A. She didn’t want to make it worse. B. She didn’t mind the huge mess at all.

53. The author managed to get the boy to talk to her by ______.

第 2 页 共 20 页 【长难句解析】1. Coming up against their behavior could only make the job harder and their behavior more
extreme. I found something that worked, though.【翻译】违反他们行为的做法只会让这份工作更困难，让他们的行为更极端。然而，我找到了一些真正起作用的事情。【分析】第一句中的动名词短语Coming up against
their behavior在句中充当主语，make the job harder中的形容词harder是形容词在句中充当宾语补足语。第二句中的though是副词―然而‖，在句中做状语，表示转折。
2. I believe that if I had criticized him, the gate that was slowly opening would have shut firmly closed.【翻译】我认为如果我之前批评他，刚刚慢慢打开的门会坚定地被关上。【分析】本句中的动词believe后面是一个that引导的宾语从句that if I had criticized him, the gate that was slowly opening would have shut firmly closed。因为这个宾语从句中有if引导的条件句，所以that是不能省略的。if I had criticized him这是宾语从句中的一个条件句。

B
In the mid-1950s, I was a somewhat bored early-adolescent male student who believed that doing any more than
necessary was wasted effort. One day, this approach threw me into embarrassment
In Mrs. Totten’s eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson, Indiana, we were learning to add
and subtract decimals (小数).
Our teacher typically assigned daily homework, which would be recited in class the following day. On most days,
our grades were based on our oral answer to homework questions.
Mrs. Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the
order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the front or the back of the
classroom and walk toward the other end.
Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to
answer. This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations.
What I failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate. As Mrs. Totten made
her way from the beginning of the class，I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get. I tried
to work it out before she got to me, but I had brain freeze and couldn’t function.
When Mrs. Totten reached my desk，she asked what answer I’d got for problem No. 14. ―I…I didn’t get
anything,‖ I answered，and my face felt warm.
―Correct,‖ she said.
It turned out that the correct answer was zero.
What did I learn that day? First, always do all your homework. Second, in real life it isn’t always what you say but
how you say it that matters. Third，I would never make it as a mathematician.
If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one.
61. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 indicate?
A. It is wise to value one’s time. B. It is important to make an effort
C. It is right to stick to one’s belief. D. It is enough to do the necessary.
62. Usually, Mrs. Totten asked her students to _______.
A. recite their homework together B. grade their homework themselves
C. answer their homework questions orally D. check the answers to their homework questions
63. The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher always _______.
A. asked questions in a regular way B. walked up and down when asking questions
C. chose two or three questions for the students D. requested her students to finish their usual questions
64. The author failed to get the questions he had expected because _______.
A. the class didn’t begin as usual B. several students didn’t come to school
C. he didn’t try hard to make his estimate D. Mrs. Totten didn’t start from the back of the class
