17.It was lucky to have a teacher at home.Mom was a teacher most of her life.When she wasn't in the classroom,she was educating her children or grandchildren:correcting our grammar; starting us on collections of butterflies,flowers or rocks; or inspiring a discussion on her most recent"Book of the Month Club"topic.Mom made learning fun.
It was sad for my three brothers and me to see her ailing in her later years.At eighty-five,she suffered a stroke(中風(fēng)) and she went steadily downhill after that.
Two days before she died,my brothers and I met at her nursing home and took her for a short ride in a wheelchair.While we waited for the staff to lift her back into bed,Mom fell asleep.Not wanting to wake her,we moved to the far end of the room and spoke softly.
After several minutes our conversation was interrupted by a muffled sound coming from across the room.We stopped talking and looked at Mom.Her eyes were closed,but she was clearly trying to communicate with us.We went to her side.
"Whirr,"she said weakly.
"Where?"I asked."Mom,is there something you want?""Whirr,"she repeated a bit stronger.My brothers and I looked at each other and shook our heads sadly.
Mom opened her eyes,sighed,and with all the energy she could muster said,"Not was,say were!"
It suddenly occurred to us that Mom was correcting brother Jim's last sentence."If it was up to me…"
Jim leaned down and kissed her cheek."Thanks,Mom,"he whispered.We smiled at each other and once again shook our heads…this time in awe of a remarkable teacher.
1.When Mom said,"Whirr",what did she really want to do?C
A.She wanted to tell her sons her will.
B.She wanted to have something to eat before she died.
C.She wanted to correct the mistakes Jim made while talking.
D.She wanted to teach her sons more because she was dying.
2.Which of the following statements is NOT right?D
A.Mom was a good teacher and never wanted to stop her teaching.
B.Mom was always making her teaching fun.
C.Mom didn't forget her teaching until she died.
D.Mom was no longer a teacher when she was at home.
3.Which of the following is the best title of this passage?A
A.Once a teacher,always…
B.Mom's will
C.A teacher's life                      
D.A teacher's story.

分析 文章介紹了作者的媽媽是個敬業(yè)的老師,而且在家里也經(jīng)常教孩子學(xué)習(xí),甚至在生命的盡頭還是不忘教學(xué).

解答 1.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段的It suddenly occurred to us that Mom was correctingbrother Jim's last sentence."If it was up to me…"可知,我們突然想到媽媽是在糾正吉姆兄弟的最后一句話:"如果由我決定的話…".所以媽媽是想糾正吉姆說話時所出的錯誤,故選C.
2.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第一段的When she wasn't in the classroom,she waseducating her children or grandchildren:correcting our grammar可知,當(dāng)她不在教室的時候,她就在教育她的孩子或?qū)O子:糾正我們的語法.所以媽媽在家里也是在教學(xué),D表達(dá)有誤,故選D.
3.A 主旨大意題.文章介紹作者的媽媽是個敬業(yè)的老師,而且在家里也經(jīng)常教孩子學(xué)習(xí),甚至在生命的盡頭還是不忘教學(xué),所以A是比較合適的標(biāo)題,故選A.

點(diǎn)評 本文是人物故事類閱讀,主要考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題和推理判斷題.在做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時,首先根據(jù)題目要求迅速在文章里找出相應(yīng)的段落、句子或短語.認(rèn)真比較選項(xiàng)和文中細(xì)節(jié)的區(qū)別,在做推理判斷題時不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí),要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

7.Many blind people use guide dogs to help them get safely from place to place and to warn them of danger.But what can blind people do if they are allergic(過敏的)to dogs or just don't like them?For some people,the answer is provided by the Guide Horse Foundation.
Janet and Don Burleson founded the organization in 1999.They began training miniature horses to help guide blind people.Miniature horses look just like regular horses,only much smaller.They are generally less than 34 inches tall.

On a trip to New York,Cuddles helped Shaw safely tour Times Square,a very busy part of the city at night.The next day,Cuddles calmly rode the elevator with Shaw to the crowded top of the Empire State Building,a famous tall building.Cuddles even guided Shaw on the boat ride to the Statue of Liberty,and traveled on the subway system.

8.Being the youngest child has advantages and disadvantages.On the one hand,babies are spoiled and often get away with behavior that other family members can't.On the other hand,many youngest children feel that they never quite measure up to their more experienced and successful siblings.To borrow a phrase from a famous comedian,they get no respect.
Some parents look on their youngest child as their last chance to do everything right,so the youngest may feel great performance pressure,similar to a firstborn.Other parents will never allow their last child to be unhappy,ever.In most families,however,the parents have more experience and are more likely to give them more freedom on such issues as developmental milestones,toilet training,dating,and so on.They are more confident that things will work out for the best,and their relationship with their lastborn is less intense than that with the older children.
Having some distance in their relationship with their parents can give the lastborn freedom to explore new ideas and new places,but if it is too great,the youngest children may feel disconnected,as though they don't belong to the family.
Since lastborns are seldom the strongest or most capable during childhood,they often carve out a place for themselves by being clever and charming.Within the family,they know how to get along well with their siblings.They may become peacekeepers,but they're also able to cause much trouble when it serves their purposes.Playing the"baby card"also allows them to avoid punishment for wrongdoing,for example,breaking a sibling's toy.
Only with such a full understanding can you,as a parent,help your"baby"develop into a fully grown-up person.

5.What may dissatisfy the youngest child in the family?D
A.Being given too much pressure by the parents.
B.Being looked down upon by the other family members.
C.Not getting along well with their siblings.
D.Feeling that they fail to do as well as their siblings.
6.In most families,the youngest childB.
A.is expected to realize their parents'unfinished dreams
B.lives a life of less pressure from their parents
C.is often ignored and forgotten by their parents
D.doesn't like to get close to his/her parents
7.Which of the following characteristics may NOT appear in the lastborn during their childhood?A
A.Strong-minded.B.Attractive.
C.Sociable.D.Troublesome.
8.By talking about the characteristics of the youngest child,this passageA.
A.gives parents some help in bringing up the youngest child
B.reminds parents to give the youngest child extra care
C.shows it is hard for the youngest child to succeed
D.calls on parents to treat the youngest child fairly.
