My son ,Izzy, was a nine-year-old boy and had been begging me to please let him find his way home by subway, by himself. After all, we live in New York City, and getting around by public transportation is a basic part of life. It is also the first step toward feeling grown-up. So on that sunny Sunday,I gave him a subway map, a transportation card,$20 for emergencies, and a couple of coins so that he could call me if necessary. I didn’t give him a cell phone because nine-year-olds lose things. A few days later, I wrote about his adventure,or non-adventure for a newspaper. Little did I realize the idea that a kid could tour the city on his own, and that a mom would let him, was big news.   It turned out that many TV shows called me and asked for an interview. Bloggers were going crazy, so I started a blog, too, and letters came pouring in. Finally I found out why this was such a big story: we have become fearful for our children. Fear is hardly a new thing for parents, of course. But the fear of letting our children out of sight for even a second-that’s new. How did this happen? How did it become too scary to let kids be kids? I asked the question when the reporter Trevor Butterworth interviewed me.

“News reports,” he answered. “News reports scare the pants off you. What is scarier than a kidnapped kid no matter how far away?Because there are so many such stories, it starts to feel as if kidnappings are happening all the time. That’s why the kid-on-the-subway story surprises the whole world.”   Izzy probably did a good job. He simply proved that kids could leave home alone and return home safely! But he didn’t think it was a big deal. “It was fun,” he said. “But I missed some classes because of the interviews.” Sometimes it really pays to be brave.

1.Why did the author let her son take the subway alone?

A. Because she always let her son do whatever he wanted.

B. Because she believed that her son had memorized the subway map.

C. Because she thought it would be big news around the whole world.

D. Because she felt traveling by subway in New York was a basic life skill.

2.The author gave her son all the following when he traveled alone EXCEPT_______.

A. a map.    B. a cell phone.

C. a transportation card    D. some money.

3.The author didn’t expect that after she wrote her son’s story for a newspaper, _________.

A. a blog would be started in her name

B. her son would receive so many letters

C. many TV shows would want to interview her

D. many TV stations would want to film her son’s story

 

1.D 2.B 3.C 【解析】试题分析:本文讲的是一个小故事,作者给报纸写了一篇文章叙述了作者的儿子自己一个人坐地铁回家的经历,没想到却引起了轩然大波。 1. 2. 3. 【名师点睛】 故事类阅读概念: 这类文章一般描述的是某一件具体事情的发生发展或结局,有人物、时间、地点和事件。命题往往从故事的情节、人物或事件的之间的关系、作者的态度及意图、故事前因和后果的推测等方面着手,考查学生对细节的辨认能力以及推理判断能力。 故事类阅读应试技巧: 1、抓住文章的6个要素: 阅读时要学会从事情本身的发展去理解故事情节而不要只看事件在文中出现的先后顺序。因此,无论是顺叙还是倒叙,阅读此类文章时,必须要找到它结构中的5个W(when, where, who, why, what)和1个H(how),不过不是每篇都会完整地交待六个要素。毫无疑问,寻出这些元素是能够正确快速解题的一个先决条件。 2、注意作者的议论和抒情: 高考英语阅读理解故事类文章常伴随着作者思想情感的流露和表达,因此议论和抒情往往夹杂其中。行文时或按事情发生发展的先后时间进行或按事情发生发展的地点来转换,也可能按事情发展的阶段来布局。在引出话题,讲完一件事情后,作者往往会表达个人感悟或提出建议等。这些体现作者观点或思想的语句在阅读时可以划线,它们往往体现文章中心或者写作意图,属于必考点,所以要仔细体会。如:4. 3、结合前两点归纳文章中心,把握作者态度: 故事类文章是通过记叙一件事来表达中心思想的,它是文章的灵魂。归纳文章中心思想时,尤其要分析文章的结尾,因为很多文章卒章显志,用简短的议论、抒情揭示文章中心;文章中议论抒情的句子往往与中心密切相关;也有的文章需要在结合概括各段大意的基础上归纳中心。另外,叙述一件事必有其目的,或阐明某一观点,或赞美某种品德,或抨击某种陋习,这就要求我们在阅读时,通过对细节(第1点中的六要素)的理解,把握作者的态度。 4、有章有据进行解题判断: 分析文章,归纳主题,属于分析、概括、综合的表述能力的考查。切忌脱离文章,架空分析,一定让分析在文章中有依据。如:5. 考点:故事类阅读理解

Many great basketball players had clever nicknames (绰号), usually describing the player’s overall style on the court (球场). Below are some of the colorful nicknames among popular NBA players.

“Tiny”

Nate Archibald, at six feet one inch tall, was small for a basketball player. Still, Archibald used speed and his brains to control the court in the 14 seasons that he played in the NBA. Interestingly, his nickname originated off the court: he was named after his father, “Big Tiny”.

“Magic”

Earvin Johnson was called “Magic” by a sportswriter who saw him playing basketball in one high school game. Johnson was a skillful player, often doing the unexpected, to the chagrin of his competitors and the delight of the audience. He also won a gold medal as part of the U.S. “Dream Team” in the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain.

“The Mailman”

Karl Malone earned his nickname because on the court he delivered consistently. Malone spent most of his career with the Utah Jazz, gaining a reputation as one of the best power forwards of all time. He also won two Olympic gold medals, as part of the U.S. “Dream Team” in the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain and in the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia.

“The Iceman”

George Gervin made the most difficult shots look easy. He was also famous for keeping his cool in every game, playing in a relaxed way under pressure. Gervin, who played most of his 14 years in the NBA with the San Antonio Spurs, was unequalled in many ways as a shooting guard.

1.Whose nickname has nothing to do with basketball?

A. Nate Archibald’s    B. Earvin Johnson’s.

C. Karl Malone’s.    D. George Gervin’s.

2.The underlined word “chagrin” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_____”.

A. amazement    B. impatience

C. enthusiasm    D. annoyance

3.Why was George Gervin called “The Iceman”?

A. He was always as cold as ice.

B. He had a glass of iced beer every day.

C. He was always able to keep calm on the court.

D. He didn’t get along well with his teammates.

4.The author’s purpose in writing the text is to _____.

A. uncover the secrets of NBA players’ success

B. talk about how to give others a lovely nickname

C. show how to become an excellent basketball player

D. introduce some NBA players and their nicknames

What personal qualities are desirable in a teacher? I think the following would be generally accepted.

Firstly, the teacher’s personality should be lively and attractive. This does not rule out people who are plain­looking, or even ugly, because many such people have great personal charm. 1..

Secondly, it is not merely desirable but essential for a teacher to have a capacity for sympathy, a capacity to understand the minds and feelings of children. 2.—not of what is wrong, but of the weaknesses and immaturity of children, which cause them to make mistakes.

Thirdly, I hold it essential for a teacher to be both intellectually and morally honest. This means that he will be aware of his intellectual strengths and limitations, and will have thought about and decided upon the moral principles by which his life shall be guided. 3.. That is part of the technique of teaching, which demands that every now and then a teacher should be able to put on an act—to enliven(使生动) a lesson, correct a fault, or award praise.

A teacher must be capable of infinite patience. 4., for we are none of us born like that.

Finally, I think a teacher should have the kind of mind which always wants to go on learning. 5.;there is always something more to learn about. There are three principal objects of study: the subjects which the teacher is teaching; the methods by which the subjects can best be taught to the particular pupils in the classes he is teaching; most importantly, the children, young people, or adults to whom the subjects are to be taught.

A. This, I may say, is largely a matter of self­discipline and self­training

B. Closely related to this is the capacity to be tolerant

C. Teaching is a job at which one will never be perfect

D. Children, especially young children, live in a world that is rather larger than life

E. There is no contradiction (自相矛盾) in my going on to say that a teacher should be a bit of an actor

F. But it does rule out such types as the over­excitable, sad, cold, and frustrated

G. There are two fundamental principles of British education today
