24、

An unusual school, Notch Peak Elementary, has just one student and only one teacher. The only student is Corinne Gaby. Her teacher is Lisa Geary. Corrine has no brothers or sisters and lives with her parents on a large farm in a mountainous area.

The school is based on the idea that every child has the right to a public education-no matter where that child lives. But the closest public school is at least a one-and-a-half hour drive away. And that road is not considered safely passable during the winter.

A new, separate school was not built. Instead, a classroom area was created on the second floor of a horse barn (马厩). Large windows keep the room bright, and a wood stove provides heat.

Several teachers were considered for this unusual teaching situation. The first lasted a year. The next left after two. Then came Lisa Geary. She says her first year was “harder than expected.” She faced lonely surroundings and severe weather.

“It wasn't easy in the beginning Corinne was strong-headed, and it was tough.” Geary said she became discouraged with their lack of progress .At first, she said it seemed like Corinne did not want to be taught. “We really, really struggled that first year, so it wasn't fun for me as a teacher who is waiting for her cup to be fled up.” Corinne agrees that the start of teaching was difficult.

But over time, Corinne said Geary's teaching methods changed her mind about the unusual one-on-one learning situation. “Now in fifth grade and fourth grade, Ms. Geary and I have seen lots of changes in ourselves.” Corinne says Geary's teaching has taught her far more than just what happens in the classroom.

Geary adds that in every teaching situation, the relationship between teacher and student is very important. She says that her relationship with Corinne is now so close, the two are like family.

Corinne agrees that the two have a much deeper connection than most students and teachers. She describes Geary as the “greatest teacher in the galaxy.”

The two also spend a lot of time together outside the classroom. Sometimes Corinne even gets to sleep over at her teacher's house, and they both love taking care of the animals on the farm.

【1】Geary said her first year was “harder than expected” because________.

A.she had to drive at least one and a half hours to get back home

B.Corinne's parents didn't like the teacher and her teaching ways

C.the life was poor in the cold weather and there was little progress in Corinne's study

D.Corinne wasn't willing to be taught by Geary and didn't like to have lessons at home

【2】Which of the following about Lisa Geary can be inferred from the passage?

A.She got on well with Corinne at first.

B.She changed Corinne a lot but little in herself.

C.Teaching in Notch Peak Elementary is her first job.

D.Geary's teaching methods finally changed Corinne.

【3】How does Corinne's feeling change to Geary?

A.Excited-happy. B.Afraid-glad. C.Difficult- close. D.Strange-satisfied.

【4】Choose a sentence by Corinne that best describes Geary as the “greatest teacher in the galaxy”.

A.“We are living together. We're just a family.”

B.“She is the teacher who is waiting to fill me up.”

C.“She gives me chances and she really believes in me.”

D.“It is she who has spent almost three years with me in the horse barn.”

25、   In the eyes of many foreigners, Chinese are the best hosts (主人) and the worst guests in the world. They're not really bad guests, but because the guest­host relationship in China is much more different than in some Western countries. It appears they are not nice guests. And Western hosts sometimes look rude(粗鲁的) in the eyes of Chinese guests.

In China, guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese person's home, there is always fruit on the table for me, and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the West, generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to the host's way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.

My wife's mother, a very kind elderly Chinese lady, doesn't smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in her house, as a non­smoker, I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly, but I must realize that in China, to be a good host, she must not do that. In some North American homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their house. At the very least, you could ask, “Is it OK if I smoke?” But, don't be surprised if they say, “No, you can't smoke.” In our culture, if you smoke in their home, you are a bad guest, but if they do not allow you to smoke in their house, they are not a rude host.

Guests in China also have special habits. Some Western people may not adapt_to these habits very soon. Thankfully my wife is Chinese, so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift. However, giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country. So, if you invite international guests to your house, don't be too surprised if they don't bring you a gift.

In China, you probably won't need to change the guest­host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host, and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. If Western hosts invite you to their house, try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected.

【1】Many foreigners think that Chinese hosts are the ______in the world.

A.best B.worst C.most natural D.most difficult

【2】When a Western guest visits a Chinese family, he often ______.

A.buys some fruit B.feels like a god

C.wants some gifts D.takes a cup of tea

【3】If the writer's guests want to smoke in his house, what will he probably say?

A.It's OK if you smoke here.

B.Let's smoke together.

C.Sorry, you can't smoke here.

D.Smoking is a bad habit.

【4】What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “adapt to” in the passage?

A.Think back to. B.Get used to.

C.Look forward to. D.Keep close to.

【5】What is the main idea of this passage?

A.Foreigners should learn from Chinese.

B.Hosts must do things in the guests' way.

C.Western hosts are always nice to guests.

D.People should understand cultural differences.

26、All over the world, thousands of animals are used for wildlife tourism. People travel to watch monkey shows, hug baby tigers and swim with dolphins. It might look like fun, but there are reports that animals are hurt now and again. The World Animal Protection (WAP) says that up to 550,000 wild animals are exposed (暴露) to ill treatment around the world. In Cambodia, for example, it’s been reported that elephants have died after carrying tourists for long in hot weather. This is getting attention—over 100 travel companies have promised that they will no longer open up such places. However, some people argue that animal tourism isn’t always as bad as it seems. So what do you think?

Group Yes

◇Animals weren’t put on this planet for enjoyment. They should be free to live as they choose.

◇The way animals are treated is often cruel (残忍的) and causes much pain. Even if treated well, they cannot act in the same way as they would in the wild.

◇We don’t need wildlife tourism. We can see animals close up in their natural home in TV programs. There’s no need to disturb (打扰) them in real life.

Group No

◇It is enjoyable and educational for people to communicate with the wonderful animals. The more people know about them, the more they want to protect them.

◇Wildlife tourism brings money to poor areas and may be the only way for some people to make a living.

◇Not all animals are treated badly. Some endangered animals are under the protection of programs that look after rare species (稀有物种).

【1】How many wild animals are facing bad treatment according to WAP?

27、   Can plants eat people? Probably not,but there are many plants that eat meat. Some of them are big. And they can eat small animals. One famous meat-eating plant is the Venus flytrap(捕蝇草).

The Venus flytrap is a very strange plant. It grows in dry parts of the United States. Its leaves are like the pages of a book. They can open and close very quickly. Inside the leaves,there are three small hairs. If a fly touches one of the hairs,the leaf closes quickly. The fly cannot get out. In about half an hour,the leaf presses the fly until it is dead. Then,the plant covers the fly. Slowly, the plant eats the fly.

Why do plants do it? Most plants get what they need from the sun,the air,and the ground. In some places,the ground is very poor. It doesn’t have all these important things, specially nitrogen(氮). Animal meat has a lot of nitrogen, so some plants eat meat to get what they need. Let’s hope that some of the bigger plants don’t get the same idea!

A.plant B.animal C.food D.meat

【2】The Venus flytrap grows in_________.
