20、t choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. It is customary for adults to forget how hard and dull and long school is. The learning by memory of all the basic things one must kn

21、ow is a most incredible and unending effort. School is not easy and it is not for the most part very much fun, but then, if you are very lucky, you may find a real teacher. Three teachers in a lifetime are the very best of my luck. My first was a science and math teacher in high school, my second, a

22、 professor of creative writing at Stanford, and my third was my friend and partner, ED Rickets.I have to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. It might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spi

23、rit.My three teachers had these things in common: They all loved what they were doing; they did not tell, but stimulated a burning desire to know. Under their influence, the horizons sprang wide and fear went away and the unknown became knowable.I shall speak only of my first teacher because in addi

24、tion to the other things, she brought discovery. She aroused us to shouting, bookwaving discussions. She had the noisiest class in school and she did not even seem to know it. We could never stick to the subject. Our speculation (思绪) ranged the world. She breathed curiosity into us so that we brough

25、t in facts or truths shielded in our hands like captured fireflies (萤火虫).She was fired, and perhaps rightly so, for failing to teach fundamentals. Such things must be learned. But she left a passion (激情) in us for the pure knowable world and she inflamed me with a curiosity which has never left. I h

26、ave had many teachers who told me soon-forgotten facts but only three who created in me a new attitude and a new hunger. What deathless power lies in the hands of such a person?31. In the writers opinion, school life is usually _.A. exciting B. interesting C. tiresome D. challenging32. We can infer

27、from Paragraph 2 that _. .A. it is easy to find great artists as well as great teachersB. there are few great teachers but many great artistsC. the greatest artists are not easy to find; nor are the greatest teachersD. being a great teacher is a great art to learn because teachers spread knowledge33

29、ause_A. her class was the noisiest in schoolB. she did not teach basic knowledge in classC. she let students shout and wave books in classD. she did not know how to teach basic knowledge effectively35. What is the best title of this article? A. The Teachers in My Life B. How to Become a Teacher C. W

30、hat to Teach at School D. What Makes a Good TeacherPassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage. According to psychologists （心理学家）, an emotion is aroused when a man or animal views something as either bad or good. When a person feels like running away from something he thinks wil

31、l hurt him, we call this emotion fear. If the person wants to remove the danger by attacking it, we call the emotion anger. The emotions of joy and love are aroused when we think something can help us. An emotion does not have to be created by something in the outside world. It can be created by a p

32、ersons thoughts.Everyone has emotions. Many psychologists believe that infants are born without emotions. They believe children learn emotions just as they learn to read and write. A growing child not only learns his emotions but learns how to act in certain situations because of an emotion.Psycholo

33、gists think that there are two types of emotion: positive and negative. Positive emotions include love, liking, joy, delight, and hope. They are aroused by something that appeals to a person. Negative emotions make a person unhappy or dissatisfied. They include anger, fear, despair, sadness, and dis

34、gust. In growing up, a person learns to cope with the negative emotions in order to be happy.Emotions may be weak or strong. Some strong emotions are so unpleasant that a person will try every means to escape from them. In order to feel happy, the person may choose unusual ways to avoid the emotion.

35、Strong emotions can make it hard to think and to solve problems. They may prevent a person from learning or paying attention to what he is doing. For example, a student taking an examination may be so worried about failing that he cannot think properly. The worry drains valuable mental energy he nee

36、ds for the examination.36.

Th

39、e word “drain” (Para. 5) most probably means_.A. ties B. stops C. flows D. weakensPassage ThreeQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage. Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that theres a big difference between “being a

40、 writer and writing”. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hour alone at a typewriter. “Youve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer”.The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poorly-paid affair. For every writer kissed by f

41、ortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance (自由职业) writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me a room in a New York apartment building. It didnt even matter that it was co

42、ld and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.After a year or so, however, I still hadnt gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write, I had dreamed about

43、 it for years. I wasnt going to be one of those people who die wondering: What if? I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadow land of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.41. The word “prospects” (P
