I was then in 9th grade when my mathematics teacher asked me to take on a class for a few students to whom the subject seemed difficult. And believe me, I enjoyed the entire teaching process. I never knew teaching would be so interesting. I loved my freshmen and was delighted to teach my so-called students who came up with lots of good questions.‎ After my post-graduation, I worked as a software developer with a public sector(部门) in Bangalore for a few years. But I realized that no job could provide me with the satisfaction that I experienced while teaching and training. I always wanted to connect with a wider group of people. In fact, I felt it was a timely realization for me to choose the teaching profession. I applied to a few colleges, and finally I was chosen as a lecturer, and I had to lecture graduate and post-graduate students in a college.‎ On the first day, I was nervous thinking that I had to teach the senior classes. But now I can say that giving lectures was one of the best experiences of my life. I was a Computer Science and Information Technology lecturer, but I tried to help my students with subjects that were not within my domain(范围). It was a new feeling to me every morning before I went to the classes. I used to feel energized and excited thinking that the class would be lit up with bright faces to greet me, “Good morning, Madam.”‎ To me each day was a new beginning, with new feelings, new experiences and new questions. I loved to explore their young minds and read their inquisitive (询问的) faces when a particular topic seemed hard. It was extremely challenging to motivate them to participate, think critically, question and also respect others’ points of view. Though few things never seemed easy, it was extremely exciting to make them believe that they really can. That is the reason I love to teach.‎ ‎4. From the first paragraph we know that____.‎ A. the author's math teacher was often away from work B. the author became a real teacher in 9th grade C. the author joined the teaching profession because she had to D. a great many questions were put forward by the author's “students”‎ ‎5. When the author worked as a software developer, she might feel______.‎ A. interested B. dissatisfied C. nervous D. proud ‎6. What can we learn about the author?‎ A. She liked the students most who often challenged her to read.‎ B. She was too nervous to speak a word in her first class.‎ C. New feelings, experiences and questions made her feel each day new.‎ D. She was unwilling to solve her students' questions out of her domain.‎ ‎7. What would be the best title for this text?‎ A. Why I Love to Teach B. What My Life Is Like C. How I Was Chosen as a Lecturer D. My First Lesson as a Teacher C More Americans expect to work past their 65th birthdays and never retire, says a recent study. ‎ The Associated Press with the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research surveyed 1,075 people, who were aged 50 and older. One-fourth of them said they never plan to retire. Among low-income earners in that age group this is even more true than for high-income earners.‎ In America, the age of 65 is the traditional age to retire. Sixty percent of people aged 50 to 64 said they expect to work past their 65th birthday. More than half of those who are already older than 65 said they plan to keep working, too. They say they are working an average of 31 hours per week.‎ Those 50 years of age or older said finances (财务) are the most important factor in the decision on when to retire. A majority of older workers — especially those who are 65 and older — plan to change their employers, or move into an entirely new profession, as they head into the later years.‎ One-third of people earning less than $50,000 a year said they will keep working. About 20 percent of those who earn more than $100,000 said they will never retire.‎ As baby boomers — people born between 1946 and 1964 — reach age 65, the United States’ general population will have more older people than ever before. The number of Americans 65 and older jumped 21 percent — or to 35.5 million — between 2002 and 2012. That number is expected to reach 92 million by 2060.‎ ‎8. What can we learn from Paragraphs 1&2 ?‎ A. Low-income earners were more willing to continue working.‎ B. High-income earners were not willing to work past 65.‎ C. 1,075 people who were 50 took part in the study.‎ D. Americans were not sure when to retire.‎ ‎9. Which of the following might most probably affect Americans’ retirement age?‎ A. Their decision. B. Working hours.‎ C. The money that they make. D. The traditional age to retire.‎ ‎10. What would happen in the career of most older workers?‎ ‎ A. They would be paid less. B. They would change their jobs.‎ ‎ C. They would earn more money. D. They would have a talk with employers.‎ ‎11. What is the main idea of this passage?‎ ‎ A. America will have more older people. ‎ ‎ B. Older Americans have to work past 65. ‎ ‎ C. American people will have new jobs after 65.‎ ‎ D. More Americans choose to work for more years.‎ D Don’t be afraid! We are not encouraging people to steal. It’s one of the most popular topics currently talked about by people in cities, together with，“How many vegetables did you steal today?” or, “It’s harvest time for your peaches,” and，“I bought you a new car today.”‎ Listening to a conversation like this, you do not have to feel strange. These people don’t really have their own farms or so much money that they can casually (随意地) buy someone else a car.‎ They are just playing games on Social Networking Sites(SNS) like kaixin001.com. Can you imagine millions of people in China spending lots of time on SNS playing games and talking to friends? This is especially true of white-collar workers in cities. Take kaixin001.com for example — the number of current members has already hit 38 million.‎ However, the large number of people using SNS highlights another problem. That is, lots of people choose to escape from reality. NSN just offers them a virtual(虚拟的) environment where they can escape from reality.‎ Different games provide netizens with different experiences: dreaming, chatting and playing. It offers people the opportunity to escape from reality. But the virtual world is not the real one; no one can live in it forever, and reality is not as surfing on the Internet. ‎ Since this kind of social networking sites have become so popular, people have started to think about moving it into the real world. And as far as we know, a farmland of this kind exists in Shanghai where it has reached its first base.‎ After playing the “Happy Farm” game on kaixin001.com, would you like to put yourself among the real world while smelling the fragrances (芳香) of the countryside? Recently a farmland service called “Happy Farm in Reality” was opened in the suburbs of Shanghai where white-collar workers can experience the real farmers’ life for themselves.‎ ‎12. What’s the writer’s purpose for the first paragraph?‎ ‎ A. To encourage readers to be brave. B. To tell the readers not to steal.‎ ‎ C. To tell the readers some shocking news.‎ ‎ D. To introduce some game.‎ ‎13. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?‎ ‎ A. The real world. B. Farmland in Shanghai.‎ ‎ C. The virtual world. D. An expensive car.‎ ‎14. Which of the following is NOT true?‎ ‎ A. Millions of people in China are spending lots of time on SNS.‎ ‎ B. People steal vegetables on SNS for a living.‎ ‎ C. Lots of people play games on SNS to escape from reality.‎ ‎ D. White-collar workers can have the real farmers’ life.‎ ‎15. You can find the passage in the part of a newspaper.‎ ‎ A. politics B. entertainment C. economy D. sports 第二节 (共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。‎ Some people learn a second language easily.
