Question

A class teacher, in my opinion, plays an important role in a child’s development. Every year when my daughter moves to a new class, I have a usual big worry –her new class teacher. This year, she is moving to Class Three and I can’t wait to see how things are going on.

Last year, my daughter did not like her teacher at all. It was so bad that she did not look forward to school. It was a year full of trouble and worries.

This year, Miss Purity is gentle and humorous. It’s hard not to like her. Here are the changes in my daughter.

She becomes an early bird. Last year, mornings were like a fight because I had to force Tasha to hurry up when she was preparing for school. I had to pull her out of bed, tell her to take breakfast and then drove her to school. But now, our mornings are like a party. She wakes up early, prepares everything at a high speed and then rushes to school to be with Miss Purity.

She’s happy. She enjoys school and school work and keeps talking about what they did at school when she comes home.

She’s responsible. She used to be careless and forgetful. But now she never forgets even her water bottle at school. She makes her bed and helps in the kitchen.

Her diary is full of praises. The diary is the tool of communication between the teacher and the parents. Last year, her diary was always full of negative reports. One time, she poured water in a child’s lunchbox, another time she threw another kid’s textbook in the toilet. Now she began to share her snacks with those who did not have anything. She’s always volunteering to clean the blackboard, the teacher’s chair and desk.

She does well in school. Finishing her classwork was such a big problem. She had to do it at home. But now, she finished both the classwork and homework at school.

3.What does “early bird” mean in the passage?

【解析】

试题分析：本文作者叙述了自己女儿Tasha开始十分厌学，后来在新班主任Miss Purity帮助下，她变成了各方面都很优秀的好孩子。

1.细节理解题。根据 Every year when my daughter moves to a new class, I have a usual big worry –her new class teacher. 可知，作者最为担心的是谁做女儿的新班主任。故选A。

2.细节理解题。根据第二段的It was so bad that she did not look forward to school.可知，女儿不想上学。故选B。

3.细节理解题。这个短语在第四段，本段对女儿早起上学的情况进行了今夕对比，根据But now, our mornings are like a party. She wakes up early, prepares everything at a high speed and then rushes to school to be with Miss Purity.可知，女儿不仅起得早（wakes up early），而且再不拖拖拉拉了。故选D。

4.细节理解题。首先，A/B/C三个选项所提到的事情，短文都有描述，再根据She used to be careless and forgetful.和下文One time, she poured water in a child’s lunchbox, another time she threw another kid’s textbook in the toilet. 这两句话判断，本题选D。

5.细节理解题。作者所写都是女儿在Miss Purity的帮助下所起的变化，所以排除A。而C/D又都是具体的变化细节，也可排除。故选B。
