Question

My teacher, Mr．August J．Bachmann, was the most influential teacher I ever had.

I had gotten into trouble in his class：Another student had pushed me for fun，and I became angry and began to hit him．Mr．Bachmann stopped the fight，but instead of sending me to the office，he sat me down and asked a simple question："Penna，why are you wasting your life？Why aren't you going to college？"

I didn't know anything about colleges or scholarships．No one had ever considered that a fatherless boy from the poorest neighborhood had a future．That day，instead of rushing off for lunch，he stayed and explained possible education options to me．At the end of our talk，he sent me to see a secretary who had a child at a state college．This was in 1962 at Emerson High School in Union City，New Jersey.

Well，53 years have passed, and what have I done with the knowledge he gave me？I gained a PhD from Fordham University when I was only 29．I taught English and social studies and then moved up the chain of command from teacher to principal.

I've sat on the board for Magnet Schools of America and represented that organization at the United Nations．I've won a number of great educational awards．But where would I be if a truly caring teacher had not taken the time out of his lunch period to speak to me? It was without question only his confidence in me that helped me forward．

I have repaid his kindness hundreds of times by encouraging misguided youngsters to aim higher. If I have saved any children, it is because of him. If I have been a successful educator, it is because I had a great role model in Mr. Bachmann.

【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述了一个没有人关心没有父亲的小男孩在一次打架之后被老师关心劝导从而看清了自己的未来，并因此改变了这个男孩的一生，最终这个小男孩长大后获得了很多教育奖项，而他把这些都归功于那位老师的榜样作用。

1.No one had ever considered that a fatherless boy from the poorest neighborhood had a future．可知，在Mr．Bachmann没和他谈话之前，并没有人关心过作者，因此作者对未来并没有什么计划，而是浑浑噩噩、漫无目的的活着，故选C。

2. 推理判断题。在文章中看不到巴赫曼老师的失败，自信以及幽默，而从第二段他的反问"Penna，why are you wasting your life？Why aren't you going to college？"以及第三段他鼓励我让我看清自己的未来可以知道，他对人是有激励性的，故选C。

3. 推理判断题。由第二和第三段That day，instead of rushing off for lunch，he stayed and explained possible education options to me．At the end of our talk，he sent me to see a secretary who had a child at a state college.可知，我原来的生活是没有目标，没有未来的，而巴赫曼老师替我指出了正确的道路，故选A。

4. 细节理解题。由文章中最后一句话If I have been a successful educator, it is because I had a great role model in Mr. Bachmann.可知，我把我的成功归结到了巴赫曼老师的榜样作用，故选C。

关于细节理解题

用细节定位法：细节理解题属直接解答性问题，是阅读理解题中最简单的一种，多数属中低难度的送分题。但由于高考所占的比例很大，应特别引起注意。事实和细节题的命题特点是：把某词语、某个句子或某具体事实用不同于原文的另一方式或句型表达，即同义改写。解答这类题的窍门是：A)注意掌握英语的多种表达法；B)正确分析词语在句中的作用；C)熟练运用英语的句型转换；D)读懂题干所提出的问题，并准确地找到文中涉及该问题的句子。
