Wendy Gallegos writes “concer” on the board. One of her students raises her hand. “Ms. Gallegos, you should have written ‘conocer’ instead,” she said, referring to the Spanish verb for “to know.” Gallegos looks at the board, smiles and quickly erases her mistake. “You see, I have taught you so well, you pick up on my mistakes,” she said with a laugh. To Gallegos, the scene in her classroom is typical（特有的）of the children she teaches. Gallegos teaches high school Spanish. She became part of their lives and families for three years. She is willing to help her children succeed. After a couple of years, Gallegos’ class becomes like home. Gallegos’ Spanish class is taught mostly in English in sixth grade. By the time the students are eighth-graders, they are speaking fewer words of English and more of Spanish during the 50-minute classes. “My goal is to get my kids to say something in Spanish every day,” she said, “I want them to be able to talk to me. That’s why I help them, I praise them, I recognize them when they do good work. And we have fun. The day I stop having fun is the day I am going to consider a different job.’’ If a student needs help, Gallegos offers the student a “lifesaver,” which is help from a classmate. The lifesaver gets a piece of candy as a reward. As the students said: “Gallegos’ class is anything but boring.” It is because of Gallegos’ efforts and determination that she is the teacher who they think is most deserving of one of Collier County’s Golden Apple Awards. “I don’t teach a subject, I teach kids. This is what I was born to do,” Gallegos said. 1.The scene（情景）in Gallegos’ class is mentioned at the beginning of the passage to ____. A．show Gallegos, as a teacher, makes a mistake B．tell teachers can help students correct mistakes. C．show her good teaching method in daily class D．point out the students’ impolite behavior in class 2.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 implies that_____. A．having fun is Gallegos’ goal in hunting jobs. B．Gallegos likes her job very much C．Gallegos is considering changing her job D．teaching Spanish will not last long 3.What made Gallegos get Golden Apple Award? A．Her interesting class. B．Her determination in study. C．Rewarding her students with prizes. D．Her efforts made to teach kids. 4.What would be the best title for the passage? A．This is what I was born to do B．Golden Apple Awards C．Spanish classes with fun D．How to get along with kids

My elder brother Steve, in the absence of my father who died when I was six, gave me important lessons in values（价值观念） that helped me grow into an adult. Steve taught me to face the results of my behavior. Once when I returned in tears from a Saturday baseball game, it was Steve who asked me what happened. When I explained that my baseball had soared through Mrs. Holt’s basement window, breaking the glass with a crash, Steve encouraged me to admit to her. Although my knees knocked as I explained to Mrs. Holt, I offered to pay for the window from my pocket money if she would return my ball. I also learned from Steve that personal property（财产） is a sacred（神圣的） thing. After I found a shiny silver pen in my fifth-grade classroom, I wanted to keep it, but Steve explained that it might be important to someone else in spite of the fact that it had little value. He reminded me of how much I’d hate to lose to someone else the small dog my father made with a piece of cheap wood. I returned the pen to my teacher, Mrs. David, and still remembered the smell of her perfume (香水) as she patted me on the shoulder. Yet of all the instructions Steve gave me, his respect for life is the most unforgetful in my mind. When I was twelve I killed an old brown sparrow(麻雀)in the yard with a BB gun. Excited, I screamed at Steve to come and take a look. I shall never forget the way he stood for a long moment and stared at the bird on the ground. Then in a dead, quiet voice, he asked, “Did it hurt you first, Mark?” I didn’t know what to answer. He continued with his eyes firm, “The only time you should even think of hurting a living thing is when it hurts you first, and then you think a long, long time.” I really felt terrible then, but that moment stands out as the most important lesson my brother taught me. 1.What is the passage mainly about? A．The relationship between Mark and Steve. B．The important lessons Mark learned in school. C．Steve’s important role in Mark’s growth stage. D．Mark and Steve’s respect for living things. 2.When Mark admitted his mistakes to Mrs. Holt, he ____. A．was surprised B．felt frightened C．was light-hearted D．cried before her 3.From the third paragraph, we can know that Mark _____. A．had a shiny silver pen B．respected his teacher C．hated his father very much D．once owned a small wooden dog 4.To Mark, which is the most important lesson Steve taught him? A．Respecting life. B．Being responsible for one’s behavior. C．Being honest. D．Respecting others’ property

I had applied for the nuclear（核）submarine(潜艇) program, and Admiral Rickover was interviewing me for the job. It was the first time I met Admiral Rickover, and we sat in a large room by ourselves for more than two hours, and he let me choose any subjects I wished to discuss. Very carefully, I chose those about which I knew most at the time – recent events, seamanship, music, literature, naval tactics(海军战术), electronics, gunnery(射击学) – and he began to ask me a lot of questions that were more difficult. Every time after my answers, he soon showed that I knew rather little about the subjects I had chosen. He always looked right into my eyes, and he never smiled. I was saturated with cold sweat. Finally, he asked me a question and I thought it was my turn to show myself off. He said, “How did you stand in your class at Georgia Tech before entering Annapolis as a first year student?” I had done very well, and I threw my chest with pride and answered, “Sir, I stood thirty-ninth in a class of 820!” I sat back to wait for the congratulations – which never came. Instead, the question: “Did you do your best?” I started to say, “Yes, sir,” but I remembered who this was, and thought of several of my times at the Academy when I could have learned more about our allies(二战时的同盟国), our enemies, weapons strategy(战略) and so on, so I finally said, “No, Sir, I didn’t always do my best.” He looked at me for a long time, and then turned his chair around to end the interview. He asked one final question, which I have never been able to forget – or to answer. He said, “Why not?” I sat there for a while, shaken, and then slowly left the room. 1.The passage suggests that ___. A．the atmosphere of the interviews was very serious B．the author always did his best in doing everything C．the author and Admiral Rickover were good friends D．Admiral Rickover knew the author quite well 2.The word “saturated” in the second paragraph may probably mean ___. A．very satisfied B．completely wet C．rather sad D．too excited 3.When the author said: “Sir, I stood thirty-ninth in a class of 820!’’ He meant __. A．he did better than most of his classmates at the Academy B．he had 820 classmates and he was Number thirty-nine C．he was proud that the class he was in was very large D．in the class only thirty-nine students stood in front of him
