只是更早的“先生”概念并非源于教书,最初出现的“先生”一词也并非有传授知识那般的含义。
《孟子》中的“先生何为出此言也?”;《论语》中的“有酒食,先生馔”;《国策》中的“先生坐,何至于此?”等等,均指“先生”为父兄或有学问、有德行的长辈。
其实《国策》中本身就有“先生长者,有德之称”的说法。
可见“先生”之原意非真正的“教师”之意,倒是与当今“先生”的称呼更接近。
看来,“先生”之本源含义在于礼貌和尊称,并非具学问者的专称。
称“老师”为“先生”的记载,首见于《礼记?曲礼》,有“从于先生,不越礼而与人言”,其中之“先生”意为“年长、资深之传授知识者”,与教师、老师之意基本一致。
作文范文(25分)要练说,得练看。
看与说是统一的,看不准就难以说得好。
练看,就是训练幼儿的观察能力,扩大幼儿的认知范围,让幼儿在观察事物、观察生活、观察自然的活动中,积累词汇、理解词义、发展语言。
在运用观察法组织活动时,我着眼观察于观察对象的选择,着力于观察过程的指导,着重于幼儿观察能力和语言表达能力的提高。

满分30分)1. What do these four advertisements have in common?A. Their companies are introduced in detail.B. They all want people in the proper position.C. Each of them is commented by their manager.D. They are located in the south of the same city.2. The most attractive wage of all the above is ______.A. City College Union Inc Secretary/TypistB. Sewing MachinistC. Word Processor OperatorD. Emu Airline Secretary3. If you want to be a sewing machine operator, you may contact this company by _____.A. phoneB. emailC. visitD. faxBAs the world’s largest terrestrial carnivore(陆地食肉动物), the polar bear is the king of the great white north. Adult males can measure more than 9 feet in length and weigh between 770 and 1430 pounds. The polar bear has a strong body while their heads are narrow with small, rounded ears.Polar bears can be found in northern Canada, Greenland, Norway and Russia, and there have been reports that polar bear tracks have been found as far north as the North Pole. The 5 000 000-square-mile range of the polar bear circles the Arctic and contains pieces of open water where seals are easily caught.Polar bears live on the annual Arctic sea ice that provides a platform from which they can hunt. They hunt seals on the sea ice by breaking into seal dens in the sea ice. The dens aren’t visible from above, but seeing is less important than smelling to a polar bear----with their sharp sense of smell, polar bears can sense the breathing holes of seals in their dens beneath the snow and ice. As the southern edge of the Arctic ice cap melts in summer, polar bears are forced to stay on land and spend their summers fasting(禁食), living off body fat stored from hunting in spring and winter.With about 22 000 polar bears living in the wild, the species is not endangered at the moment, but its future is far from certain. Climate change is causing the disappearance of sea ice from which polar bears hunt seals. Sea ice in the Arctic is melting earlier and forming later each year. People have reached an agreement that controls the hunting of polar bears and directs each nation to protect their habitats, but it does not protect the bears against the biggest man-made threat to their survival: global warming. If current warming trends continue, scientists believe that polar bears may disappear within 100 years.4. Polar bears search fro seals mainly through their ________.A. eyesB. earsC. nosesD. necks5. The underlined word “dens” in paragraph 3 most probably means” _______”.A. the skin of the wild animalsB. the home of wild animalsC. the breathing hole of sealsD. water of the deep sea6. Which of the following statements is true?A. A polar bear measures at least 9 feet long.B. Polar bears can be found in both the North Pole and the South pole.C. Polar bears stop hunting in summer because seals are hidden at that time.D. Polar bears may die out as a result of climate change.CIt was Mother’s Day. He was driving his new car and enjoying the beauty of nature. Colorful flower shop near the road attracted his attention. He stopped his car, got out and took a closer look at some of the flowers displayed. Every bouquet(花束) had a beautiful “Mother’s Day” greeting card attached to it.He thought about his loving mother who lived two hundred miles away. He chose a nice bouquet of pink roses, signed the greeting card and requested the shopkeeper to deliver it to his mother the same day.Just before he got into his car, he noticed a small, cute girl standing next to the shop. She was counting the money in her hand. She seemed a little upset.He went up to her and asked, “Can I help you?”She replied, “I want to buy some red rose s for my mother. But I have only one dollar whereas the bouquet costs two dollars.”He smiled and asked her to go together to the shop. He bought a big bouquet of red roses for thelittle girl. After leaving the shop, he offered her a ride. She was excited and said, “Yes, please take me to my mother.”She showed him the way, which finally led to a cemetery(公墓). She got off from his car, gave him a hug and said, “Thank you, Uncle.” Then she ran to her mother’s grave, knelt down and placed the bouquet on the freshly dug grave.The man was speechless for a minute. He immediately made a U turn and drove back to the same flower shop. He took the bouquet of pink roses from the seller and drove down two hundred miles to meet his beloved mother.He handed over the bouquet to his mother, gave her a tight hug and said, “I love you, Mom.” She kissed him on his forehead and asked, “Why did you drive down all the way? You could have simply delivered the bouquet to me and wished me over the phone.”He said to himself, “This is a Mother’s love. At any point in time, mothers think only about our comforts and well being.”7. What did the man ask the shopkeeper do?A. To arrange flowers on the shelves neatly.B. To send the greeting card to his mother.C. To keep the colorful flowers in shade.D. To send a bouquet of roses to his mother.8. It can be inferred from the text that__________.A. the shopkeeper was mean to the little girl.B. the man wasn’t successful in his job.C. the girl’s mother had just died.D. his mother was angry at his driving so long.9. After hearing mother’s words, the man felt __________.A. regretfulB. movedC. upsetD. excited10. Why did the author write the passage?A. To praise a girl for her kindness to strangers.B. To describe the sadness of a girl who lost mother.C. To expect people to show love to mother in person.D. To blame a man for his not visiting his mother.DHave you ever felt like a fool for having said too much? Anita Chow had one of those moments.A few weeks ago, she applied for a job with a company. Chow said she is usually quiet, but during the interview she tried hard to act against her nature. She smiled a lot and talked in a lively manner. When asked why she wanted to work in the company, she said the job would enable her to meet a lot of interesting people. Then she added jokingly: "Who knows? I might even meet my future husband. "Chow wanted to beat herself up the moment she stepped out of the interview room. "It came out so wrong," she says. "Now the interviewers will think of me as one of those women who don't have any career ambition and just want to get married and settle down.”Saying too much or oversharing happens to every one of us. In the time of social media, sharing every detail of your life is almost expected and encouraged. But it isn't all social media’s fault. "Experts say oversharing often happens when we are trying subconsciously to control our anxiety," according to a Wall Stre et Joumal column. Chow's is a typical case of “self-adjustment" aimed atfighting her own anxiety. It happens like this: When having a conversation, we want to sound amusing and interesting. So we use a lot of mental energy trying to manage the other person's impression of us. The effort required to do this leaves less brainpower to think over what we say and to whom, says The Wall Street Joumal.This explains why we sometimes suddenly say embarrassing things to people we want to impress most, whether it's a first date, the boss or our future in-laws. It leads to embarrassing situations and is the perfect material for comedy movies.So how do you stop yourself from saying too much? Simple: stop and think before you open your mouth.11. In the interview, Chow showed her______.A. lively mannerB. career aimC. unusual abilityD. rich experience12. From Paragraph 3, we can know that Chow_______.A. gave the wrong answerB. regretted her performanceC. wanted to get marriedD. hoped to settle down13. Experts say Chow's overtalking was actually to_______.A. show off her knowledgeB. prevent herself from being anxiousC. create a pleasant atmosphereD. follow her nature as it is14. The embarrassing situations in the conversation are caused by lack of_____.A. considerationB. determination C . interest D. motivation15. Which of the following can match the author’s opinion?A. Practice makes perfect.B. Once bitten, twice shy.C. Well begun is half done.D. Think twice before you act.第二部分:七选五(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, 并在答题卡上写出答案。

ADecision-thinking is not unlike poker—it often matters not only what you think, but also what others think you think and what you think they think you think. The mental process is similar. Naturally, this card game has often been of considerable interest to people who are, by any standards, good thinkers.The great mathematician John von Neumann was one of the founders of game theory. In particular , he showed that all games fall into two classes : there are what he called games of “ perfect information ” , games like chess where the players can’t hide anything or play tricks : they don’t win by chance , but by means of logic and skills . Then there are games of “imperfect information”, like poker, in which it is impossible to know in advance that one course of action is better than another.One mistaken idea about business is that it can be treated as a game of “perfect information”. Quite the reverse, business, polities, life itself are games which we must normally play with very imperfect information. Business decisions are often made with many unknown and unknowable factors, which would even puzzle the best poker players. But few business people find it comfortable to admit that they are taking a chance, and many still prefer to believe that they are playing chess, not poker.21. The subject discussed in this text is __________.A. the process of reaching decisionsB. the difference between poker and chess.C. the secret of making good business plansD. the value of information in winning games22. An important factor in a game of imperfect information is __________.A. rulesB. luckC. timeD. ideas23. Which of the following can be used in place of “Quite the reverse ” in Paragraph 3 ?A. Quite right.B. True enough.C. Most unlikely.D. Just the opposite.24. In the writer’s opinion, when making business decisions one should _________.A. put perfect information before imperfect informationB. accept the existence of unknown factorsC. regard business as a game of chessD. mix known and unknown factorsBChristian Eijkman, a Dutch doctor, left the Netherlands for the island of Java. Many people on the island had a disease called beri-beri. He was going there to try and find a cure.At first, Eijkman thought some kind of germ (细菌) caused beri-beri. He raised some chickens. He didn’t eat them, but made experiments on them. The local people were quite surprised at that. One day he noticed that his chickens became sick when they were fed the food most Javanese ate —refined white rice (精炼米). When he fed them with unrefined rice, also known as brown rice, they recovered. Eijkman realized that he had made an important discovery —that some things in food could prevent disease. These things were named vitamins. The Javanese were not getting enough vitamins because they had actually removed the part that contains vitamins. Later, other diseases were also found to be caused by the lack of vitamins in a person’s food.Today many people know the importance of vitamins and they make sure they have enough vitamins from the food they eat. If they don’t, they can also take vitamin pills.25. Christian Eijkman went to the island of Java to ______.A. help the Javanese with their illnessB. find ways to grow better cropsC. do some research about the islandD. spend his holiday26. Why did Christian Eijkman raise some chickens?A. To eat them.B. To make money by selling them.C. To give the Javanese a surprise.D. To carry out his experiments.27. If a person doesn’t get enough vitamins in his diet, he’d better ______.A. eat more riceB. eat vitamin pillsC. eat some chickenD. eat more meatCDolphins(海豚) live in a dark underwater world. It’s often impossible to see each other or anything else around them, so sound plays an important role in their survival. To communicate with each other, dolphins produce all kinds of sounds.Only other dolphins understand what the sounds mean. Scientists haven’t uncovered their secret communication, except for one kind of whistle. It might last less than a second, but this whistle is a big deal. Why? Because these whistles are actually names of dolphins - and every dolphin has one. Scientists call these sounds a “signature whistle.” When other dolphins hear the whistle, they know which dolphin is calling.Dolphins often hunt by themselves but still need to stay connected to the group. Since they can’t always see each other, dolphins use their signature whistles to check in with other dolphins hundreds of yards away. “In coastal areas, dolphins exchange whistles even when they’re a third of a mile apart,” says Greg Campbell, who studies animals. That means dolphins shout out to group members that might be nearly five football fields away.What’s amazing is who names the baby dolphin. Not the m other. Not an auntie dolphin or another group member. Scientists believe the baby dolphin itself comes up with the signature whistle. Like human babies, a baby dolphin plays with sounds throughout its first year. While testing its sound skills, a baby dolp hin is doing something amazing. It’s creating or figuring out its signature whistle. How or why it chooses its signature whistle is not clear. Studies show that most of the time the signature whistle is nothing like its mother’s or group members’ whistles.When the baby dolphin is about a year old, its signature whistle is set. It repeats it often so the other dolphins learn to recognize it.Deciphering(破译) dolphin names is just the beginning of figuring out what dolphins communicate about. Do they chat about sharks? Discuss the tides? Maybe they even have a namefor people. Someday scientists are to decipher the rest of dolphins’ communication.28.Sound is important for dolphins because of ______.A.their poor sense of direction B.their living environmentC.their strong enemies D.their big groups29.The dolphin’s signature whistle ______.A.lasts along time B.can travel long distancesC.is especially helpful in hunting D.can be recognized by other animals 30.The author writes the text mainly to ______.A.encourage readers to study dolphinsB.tell readers how dolphins communicateC.show how lovely and clever dolphins areD.introduce a special sound made by dolphins31.A baby dolphin gets its name ______.A.soon after it was born B.according to its sizeC.all by itself D.with the help of its groupDJeanne Calment, a French woman, became a record breaker on 17 October of 1995, when at the age of 120 years and 238 days, she became the longest-lived human being on record. A Japanese man died in 1986 at the age of 120 years and 237 days.Jeanne Calment lives in a small old people’s home in the south of France; her husband, her only child and her grandson have all died. She is nearly blind and deaf and is always in a wheelchair, but her doctor describes her as being more like a 90-year-old in good health than someone of 120. She still has a lively sense of humor. When asked on her 120th birthday what she expected of the future, she replied: A very short one. She also remarked that she thought the good Lord had forgotten all about her.So what is the key to a long life? According to some doctors, diet, exercise and no smoking are the three important factors. Jeanne Calment has followed two of the tips. She has always eaten a healthy diet, and she used to do exercise every day until she broke her leg at the age of 115. However, until recently she drank two glasses of strong red wine a day, and she does smoke (nowonly a little). Besides, Jeanne Calment might have got very good genes from her parents. Her father lived to the age of 94 and her mother to 86.A local lawyer bought her house when she was 80 under an agreement that he would pay her some money every year until her death. It must have seemed a good move at the time, but so far the lawyer has paid her at least three times the value of the house. Every year on her birthday Jeanne Calment sends him a card saying:Sorry, I’m still alive!32. How does Jeanne Calment feel about her old age?A. She is miserable and unhappy.B. She is cheerful and humorous.C. She would like to live much longer.D. She feels she is going to die very soon.33. Jeanne Calment owes her good health and long life to _______.A. smoking only a little every dayB. her giving up smoking and drinkingC. drinking two glasses of strong red wine every dayD. the good genes from her parents, a healthy diet and some exercise34. Which of the following co uld best replace the word “move” in the fourth paragraph?A. dealB. trickC. marchD. sport35. Why does Jeanne Calment say “Sorry, I’m still alive” to the local lawyer every year on her birthday?A. Because she had an agreement at 80 with the lawyer which was to her advantage.B. Because she has asked the lawyer to pay her more rent than they first agreed.C. Because the lawyer has paid her much more money than the value of the house.D. Because the house she sold to the lawyer isn’t worth the money he has already paid.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。
