I arrived in the classroom,ready to share my knowledge and experience with 75 students who would be my English literature class.Having taught in the US for 17 years,I had no about my ability to hold their attention and to on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue.
I was shocked when the monitor shouted,“ !” The entire class rose as I entered the room,and I was somewhat about how to get them to sit down again,but once that awkwardness (尷尬) was over,I quickly calmness and began what I thought was a fact—packed lecture,sure to gain their respect—perhaps their admiration.I went back to my office with the rosy glow which came from a(n) of achievement.
My students diaries.However,as I read them,the happy mood was gradually by a strong sense of sadness.The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today. her next lecture will be better.”Greatly surprised,I read diary after diary,each expressing a theme.“Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework (哲學體系) of Western thought and laid the historical for all the works we’ll study in class,” I complained.“How they say I didn’t teach them anything?”
It was a long term,and it became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as of my students.I thought a teacher’s job was to raise questions and provide enough background so that students could _ their own conclusions.My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide information as directly and clearly as possible.What a difference!
,I also learnt a lot,and my experience with my Chinese students has made me a_ American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.

【解析】
試題分析:本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了“我”在中國按照自己在美國教學的經驗與方法進行教學,但學生很不適應,這使“我”真正理解了文化的差異和“入鄉(xiāng)隨俗”的含義。
1.名詞的辨析和對語境的理解。依據“Having taught in the US for 17 years”可判斷,“我”一點也不懷疑自己的能力。A.certainty當然;B.idea主意;C.doubt懷疑;D.experience經歷。 故答案選C。
2.動詞的辨析和對語境的理解。根據語境,此處表示“我”確信自己一定能吸引他們的注意力,并使他們意識到“我”對自己民族文學的崇拜。impress sth. on sb.“使意識到”;put on“把……放在上面”;fix on“把……固定在上面”;leave通常不與on搭配。依據句意,答案選A。
3.動詞短語的辨析和對語境的理解。 中國學生上課時習慣喊起立。A.Attention請注意;B.Look out小心;C.At ease放松;D. Stand up起立。后面也有我想讓學生們坐下之類的提示。故答案選D。
4.形容詞的辨析和對語境的理解。依據語境,“我”對如何讓他們坐下感到”困惑”,A.puzzled迷惑不解;B.sure確定;C.curious好奇; D.worried擔心。故答案選A。
5.動詞的辨析和對語境的理解。此處是指尷尬已過去,“我”就很快恢復了平靜。A.found發(fā)現;B.returned歸還;C.regained恢復;D.followed跟隨。故答案選C。
6.副詞的辨析和對語境的理解。“我”確信自己一定能贏得學生的尊敬,甚至會贏得他們的欽佩。A.more更多的;B.even甚至;C.yet仍然;D.still還。故答案選B。
7.名詞的辨析和對語境的理解。想到自己會贏得學生的尊敬,甚至贏得他們的欽佩。,我就有一種成就感。A.thought想法;B.sense感覺;C.emotion情緒;D.idea想法。故答案選B。
8.動詞的辨析和對語境的理解。學生有記日記的習慣。A.shared分享;B.borrowed借;C.kept保持;D.read讀。故答案選C。
9.動詞的辨析和對語境的理解。A. replaced取代;B. taken拿走;C.caught抓;D. moved打動。從下文內容可以看出,此處指“我”在讀學生的日記時,前面提到的那種成就感被一種悲傷替代了,故答案選A。
10.副詞的辨析和對語境的理解。A.Naturally自然地;B.Perhaps 也許;C.Fortunately幸運地;D.Reasonably合情合理地。學生認為,老師第一節(jié)課講得不好,也許第二節(jié)課會好些。故答案選B。
11.形容詞的辨析和對語境的理解。A.different不同的;B.same相同的;C.similar相似的; D.usual通常的。由上文“Our literature teacher didn't teach us anything today.”以及下文“How_ __ they say I didn't teach them anything?”可推知,每篇日記都表達一個相似的主題,故答案選C。故答案選C。
12.名詞的辨析和對語境的理解。A.happenings發(fā)生的事;B.characters 性格; C.development 發(fā)展;D.background 背景。lay意為“設置”。lay the historical background意為“設置歷史背景”。其他選項與上下文語境不符。故答案選D。
13.情態(tài)動詞的辨析和對語境的理解。A.should應該,竟然;B.need需要;C.will將會;D.must必須。依據語境,此處是指“我”對學生的反映感到意外, should與why,how,who等連用,表示“意外,驚異”。因此答案選A。
14.動詞的辨析和對語境的理解。A.immediately立即;B.certainly必定;C.simply僅僅;D.gradually漸漸地。由“It was a long term”可判斷,這里表示漸漸變得很清楚,故答案選D。
15.動詞的辨析和對語境的理解。A.that那;B.what什么;C.those那些,特指;D.ones那些,泛指。用those指代前面的ideas。如果選ones,須在其前面加定冠詞the。故答案選C。
16.動詞的辨析和對語境的理解。A.difficult困難的;B.interesting有意思的;C.ordinary平常的;D.unusual不同尋常的。上文提到“I had no_ _about my ability to hold their attention”,可推斷,“我”上課時會提出一些有趣的問題,故答案選B。

When I was fourteen, I earned money in the summer by cutting lawns (草坪), and within a few weeks I had built up a body of customers. I got to know people by the flowers they planted that I had to remember not to cut down, by the things they lost in the grass or stuck in the ground on purpose. I reached the point with most of them when I knew in advance what complaint was about to be spoken, which particular request was most important. And I learned something about the measure of my neighbors by their preferred method of payment: by the job, by the month—or not at all.
Mr. Ballou fell into the last category, and he always had a reason why. On one day, he had no change for a fifty, on another he was flat out of checks, and on another, he was simply out when I knocked on his door. Still, except for the money, he was a nice enough guy, always waving or tipping his hat when he’d seen me from a distance. I figured it was a thin retirement check, or maybe a work-related injury that kept him from doing his own yard work. Surely, I kept record of the total, but I didn’t worry about the amount too much. Grass was grass, and Mr. Ballou’s property didn’t take long to trim (修剪).
Then, one late afternoon in mid-July, the hottest time of the year, I was walking by his house and he opened the door, mentioned me to come inside. The hall was cool, shaded, and it took my eyes a minute to adjust to the dim light.
“I owe you,” Mr. Ballou, “but…”
I thought I’d save him the trouble of thinking of a new excuse. “No problem. Don’t worry about it.”
“The bank made a mistake in my account,” he continued, ignoring my words. “It will be cleared up in a day or two. But in the meantime I thought perhaps you could choose one or two volumes for a down payment (首期付款).
He gestured toward the walls and I saw that books were stacked (堆放) everywhere. It was like a library, except with no order to the arrangement.
“Take your time,” Mr. Ballou encouraged. “Read, borrow, keep. Find something you like. What do you read?”
“I don’t know.” And I didn’t. I generally read what was in front of me, what I could get from the paperback stacked at the drugstore, what I found at the library, magazines, the back of cereal boxes, comics. The idea of consciously seeking out a special title was new to me, but, I realized, not without appeal-- so I started to look through the piles of books.
“You actually read all of these?”
“This isn’t much,” Mr. Ballou said. “This is nothing, just what I’ve kept, the ones worth looking at a second time.”
“Pick for me, then.”
He raised his eyebrows, cocked his head, and regarded me as though measuring me for a suit. After a moment, he nodded, searched through a stack, and handed me a dark red hardbound (精裝本) book, fairly thick.
“The Last of the Just,” I read. “By Andre Schwarz-Bart. What’s it about?”
“You tell me,” he said. “Next week.”
I started after supper, sitting outdoors on an uncomfortable kitchen chair. Within a few pages, the yard, the summer, disappeared, and I was thrown into the aching tragedy of the Holocaust, the extraordinary clash of good, represented by one decent man, and evil. Translated from French, the language was elegant, simple, impossible to resist. When the evening light finally failed I moved inside, reading all through the night.
To this day, thirty years later, I vividly remember the experience. It was my first voluntary encounter (接觸、遇到) with world literature, and I was stunned (震驚) by the concentrated power a novel could contain. I lacked the vocabulary, however, to translate my feelings into words. So the next week when Mr. Ballou asked, “Well?” I only replied, “It was good.”
“Keep it, then,” he said. “Shall I suggest another?”
I nodded, and was presented with the paperback (平裝本) edition of Margaret Mead’s Coming of Age in Samoa ( a very important book on the study of the social and cultural development of peoples-- anthropology (人類學)).
To make two long stories short, Mr. Ballou never paid me a cent for cutting his grass that year or the next, but for fifteen years I taught anthropology at Dartmouth College. Summer reading was not the innocent entertainment I had assumed it to be, not a light-hearted, instantly forgettable escape in a hammock (吊床) (though I have since enjoyed many of those, too). A book, if it arrives before you at the right moment, in the proper season, at an internal in the daily business of things, will change the course of all that follows.
1.The author found the first book Mr. Ballou gave him _________.
A. light-hearted and enjoyable
B. dull but well written
C. impossible to put down
D. difficult to understand
2.From what he said to the author, we can infer that Mr. Ballou _________.
A. read all books twice
B. did not do much reading
C. read more books than he kept
D. preferred to read hardbound books
3.The following year the author _________.
A. started studying anthropology at college
B. continued to cut Mr. Ballou’s lawn
C. spent most of his time lazing away in a hammock
D. had forgotten what he had read the summer before
4.The author’s main point is that _________.
A. summer jobs are really good for young people
B. you should insist on being paid before you do a job
C. a good book can change the direction of your life
D. a book is like a garden carried in the pocket
