I had agreed to teach all struggling students in need of critical intervention (介入). I knew what lay ahead —‎ ‎ tough work hours overlaid with guilt, consumed with essays that needed feedback and lesson plans with best practice strategies. No wonder people always acknowledge my teaching career with, “I'm_glad_it's_you_and_not_me.”‎ Suddenly, my mind transported me to my first few years of teaching.‎ ‎“Peter Potter，” I called from my name list, trying to control my laughter. “Laughlin McLaughlin？” Surely these were not real names.‎ ‎“Emotionally disabled ... keeps them separated from the other kids ...，” the vice headmaster commanded. This was my first teaching assignment.‎ Surely this year could never be as discouraging as those first few. In my new classroom, I looked into the face of Jason. At eleven, his mother was killed in an accident, leaving him with physical, academic, and certainly emotional scars. I looked at another student, Robert, standing at the door; my vice headmaster asked if I would take him, even though he was an eleventh grader in my tenth grade class.‎ But then there were — and are — stories of success — of Dustin, in Graduate School for Electrical and Computer Engineering; of Michael, now a teacher in a city school; of Willie ... I thought of the thousands of students whose lives have touched mine far more than I could have ever touched theirs.‎ I broke from my daydream, a smile spreading across my face. ‎ Sadness, tears, challenges, fears — yes, teaching is filled with all of these — yet, it is also filled with laughter and smiles, hope, dreams, and rewards beyond measure.‎ ‎“I'm glad it's you and not me.” Those words resounded in my mind once again.‎ 语篇解读：本文讲述了作者从事特殊教育的职业经历。尽管教学中充满了挑战、悲伤、泪水，但是也给作者带来了欢乐、微笑、希望、梦想，以及无法估量的回报。‎ ‎4．What might the author's job be like?‎ A．Easy. B．Boring.‎ C．Interesting. D．Challenging.‎ 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“I knew what lay ahead — tough work hours overlaid with guilt, consumed with essays that needed feedback and lesson plans with best practice strategies.”可知，摆在作者面前的是充满内疚感的艰难工作、需要反馈的文章和关于最佳实践策略的课程计划，由此可见作者的工作是具有挑战性的。故选D项。‎ ‎5．What does the underlined sentence imply?‎ A．These people would like to teach.‎ B．These people did not like the author.‎ C．These people would not want this job.‎ D．These people wanted to learn from the author.‎ 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据画线部分所在句“No wonder people always acknowledge my teaching career with, ‘I'm glad it's you and not me.’”(难怪人们总是以“很高兴是你而不是我从事这项工作”来评价我的教学生涯。)以及前文所述的教学工作的艰巨性可知，此句话暗示说这些话的人们不愿意做这样的工作。故选C项。‎ ‎6．Why did the author mention Jason and Robert?‎ A．To stress the importance of family education.‎ B．To show her regrets about taking up teaching.‎ C．To express her dissatisfaction with the school.‎ D．To introduce the basic situation of her students.‎ 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第五段提到的两个学生贾森和罗伯特的情况，以及第六段的内容可知，提及贾森和罗伯特的目的是介绍班级学生的基本情况，故选D项。‎ ‎7．How did the author feel thinking of the successful students?‎ A．She was doing a worthwhile job.‎ B．She could never go back to the past.‎ C．She was the inspiration behind the success stories.‎ D．She would never make greater achievements in the future.‎ 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据第六段中的“I thought of the thousands of students whose lives have touched mine far more than I could have ever touched theirs.”‎ 可知，作者想起了成千上万的学生，他们的生活对作者的影响远远超过作者对他们生活的影响，这说明作者认为自己的工作是值得的，故选A项。‎ C ‎(2019·郑州第二次质量预测)Thomas Cheatham had planned to study Latin during his time at Hebron High School in Texas. But when he learned that the school district was going to offer a Mandarin (普通话) class, he quickly changed his mind.‎ ‎“I thought Mandarin would be more beneficial than Latin，” said Cheatham, who is now in his second year of studying the language.‎ He speaks Mandarin to order food at Chinese restaurants and can read social media posts from his Chinesespeaking friends. While it's a difficult language to master, the high school junior, who plans to study computer engineering, thinks it will be important for his career. “Chinese is a good language to know, especially with China becoming a growing power，” he said.‎ Many experts agree that proficiency (熟练) in a language spoken by a billion people worldwide will give American students an edge in the global economy.‎ ‎“People are looking at China as our next economic competitor, and interest in Mandarin is growing fast，” said Marty Abbott, director of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. “We're seeing it in all parts of the country.”‎ Abbott predicts that as many as 100，000 students are now studying ‎ Mandarin in public and private schools throughout the US. She said the US government has designated (指定) Mandarin as an “important need” language and provides professional development programs for teachers. “Our government wants to increase our language ability for economic competitiveness，” Abbott added.‎ At the same time, the Chinese government is spreading knowledge of the Chinese language and culture through Confucius Institutes set up in many US states. For example, the Confucius Institute at the University of Texas at Dallas has been the home of a Confucius Institute for 10 years. It sponsors Confucius Classrooms at 21 local public and private schools, where tens of thousands of students are learning Mandarin.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，主要讲了普通话在美国学生中日益流行。‎ ‎8．Why did Thomas Cheatham decide to study Mandarin instead of Latin?‎ A．Mandarin was easier to learn than Latin.‎ B．Mandarin could be helpful to his future career.‎ C．Mandarin might help him learn more about China.‎ D．Mandarin could enable him to study computer engineering.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“While it's a difficult language to master, the high school junior, who plans to study computer engineering, thinks it will be important for his career.”可知，Thomas ‎ Cheatham认为学习普通话对他的未来职业有帮助，所以才决定学习普通话。‎ ‎9．The underlined word “edge” in paragraph 4 probably means “________”．‎ A．a slight advantage B．the outside limit C．a sharp tone of voice D．an exciting quality 解析：选A　词义猜测题。根据语境尤其是第三段最后一句中的“Chinese is a good language to know, especially with China becoming a growing power”和第四段第一句中的“a language spoken by a billion people”可知，随着中国的发展，学习普通话大有裨益，由此可推知，学习普通话让美国学生在全球经济中有一定的优势，这与文章第五段的内容呼应。故画线词意为“优势”，与A项含义相近。‎ ‎10．Which of the following statements might Marty Abbott agree with?‎ A．Mandarin should be taught in classrooms throughout the US.‎ B．Those skilled at Chinese will be the most competitive in the future.‎ C．The US government's policy has helped popularize Mandarin in the US.‎ D．Americans learn Mandarin because they worry about their economic security.‎ 解析：‎ 选C　推理判断题。根据语境尤其是对第六段的整体理解可推知，在Marty Abbott看来，美国政府的政策有助于普通话在美国的推广。‎ ‎11．What does the author mainly talk about in this passage?‎ A．The rising popularity of Mandarin among American students.‎ B．The great benefits of learning Mandarin for American students.‎ C．The influence of China's growing power on American education.‎ D．The effect of Confucius Institutes in promoting Mandarin in the US.‎ 解析：选A　主旨大意题。根据对全文的整体理解可推知，本文主要讲述的是普通话在美国学生之间日益流行的现象，这与最后一段的进一步论述呼应。故选A。‎ D ‎(2019·重庆第一次调研)A shirt, tie and blazer may not be my favorite, but if I were given the choice, I wouldn't throw away the idea of school uniform. Wearing a uniform is a badge of pride, creates an identity for a school and is an important part of being a school student.‎ My school is one of many that seem to be shifting to a more formal uniform — this September I will be wearing a shirt and blazer instead of my old jumper and polo shirt. A number of students have complained about the change, but some people believe that a school uniform can improve learning by reducing distraction, sharpening focus on schoolwork and making the classroom a more serious environment, ‎ ‎ allowing students to perform better academically. Perhaps most importantly, a uniform means students don't have to worry about peer pressure when it comes to their clothes. When everyone is dressed the same, worrying about what you look like isn't so important. There is no competition about being dressed in the latest trend, which would put a great deal of financial pressure on students and parents. Potential bullies have one less target for their insults; it's hard to make fun of what someone is wearing when you're dressed exactly the same.‎ In America, where a majority of schools do not have a uniform, roughly 160，000 children miss school every day due to fear of attack or intimidation by other students. This might not be directly linked to what they're wearing, but having a uniform can be a safety net for many students who might otherwise suffer from bullying. A uniform gives the impression that rules are strict, perhaps helping maintain a sense of order at school.‎ My uniform might not be what I would wear in my own time, but it gives me a sense of belonging, takes away the pressure of what to wear and stops the bullies. School uniform isn't fashionable, but that's exactly why I think it should be here to stay.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。在学校“我”选择穿校服，因为校服是学校的标志，学生统一穿校服能使教室成为严肃的场所，让学生更加专注于学习；此外，穿校服还能减少校园欺凌事件的发生。‎ ‎12.Why does the writer mention American children without uniforms in the passage?‎ A．To show pity for American kids.‎ B．To raise the government's attention.‎ C．To prove the benefits of school uniform.‎ D．To inform readers of American kids' uniforms.‎ 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第三段的内容可知，在美国，大多数学校没有统一的校服，每天大约有16万名儿童因为害怕受到其他学生的攻击或恐吓而缺课。这可能与他们的穿着没有直接的联系，但是对于许多可能遭受欺凌的学生来说，校服是一种保护措施，而且也帮助维持了学校的秩序。据此可推知，作者在此提及美国儿童没有穿统一的校服旨在说明校服的好处，故C项正确。‎ ‎13．What is the writer's attitude towards school uniforms?‎ A．Disapproving. B．Confused.‎ C．Suspicious. D．Favorable.‎ 解析：选D　观点态度题。根据尾段中的“it gives me a sense of belonging, takes away the pressure of what to wear and stops the bullies. School uniform isn't fashionable, but that's exactly why I think it should be here to stay.”可知，“我”的校服给了“我”一种归属感，消除了穿什么衣服的压力，阻止了那些欺负“我”的人；虽然校服并不时尚，但这正是“我”认为它应该留在这里的原因。据此可推知，作者对校服持赞同的态度，故D项正确。‎ ‎14．Which is the advantage of wearing school uniforms for school kids?‎ A．It sharpens concentration on outdoor tasks.‎ B．It removes the teachers' financial pressure.‎ C．It satisfies students' dressing tastes and favorites.‎ D．It helps students maintain a sense of order at school.‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“A uniform gives the impression that rules are strict, perhaps helping maintain a sense of order at school.”可知，校服也会给人留下规章制度严格的印象，有助于维持学校的秩序，故D项正确。‎ ‎15．What is the best title for the passage?‎ A．My Cool School Uniform B．The Point of School Uniform C．The Idea of Dressing Properly D．The Way of Guarding Kids' Safety 解析：选B　标题归纳题。通读全文可知，在学校里“我”选择穿校服，因为校服是学校的标志，学生统一穿校服能使教室成为严肃的场所，让学生更加专注于学习；此外，穿校服还能减少校园欺凌事件的发生。故B项最适合作本文的标题。‎ 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。‎ ‎(2019·山西六校第二次阶段性测试)Schools consume a large amount of energy, which has a bad effect on the environment. __16__， there are lots of ways that you can help your school save energy. Look for simple changes your school can make and band together with others to make an even bigger effect.‎ ‎__17__.

Turn off the lights in classrooms that are not being used and in other areas, such as empty bathrooms and unoccupied multipurpose rooms.‎ Use natural light when the sun is bright.
