Question

【題目】 I'm standing in a class of wild 14-year-old girls as they throw paper and howl (大聲叫喊) with laughter. They won't listen to me.

I was a young girl of 22 and I didn't know what I was doing. I never wanted to teach . I wanted to be a writer. But when I arrived in London, they were short of teachers.

My efforts at teaching were hopeless. When the bell finally rang, I rushed to the staff room, red with anger. The other teachers weren't surprised. “That's 4B, the worst class in the school.” one said.

I feared our next meeting, but I couldn't give up. I needed the job, so I gave up formal lessons. Instead, I brought topics for class discussions. One of the liveliest talks was about the arguments they had with their parents. They paid attention and shared about their lives. I was very interested, so I had them write about themselves.Most wrote about families with little money and big problems. As time went on, their articles became a bridge between us. I admired their humor, toughness and insight (洞察力), and I thought they appreciated my interest in their lives.

The musical My Fair Lady was playing in the West End, but they had never seen a live stage performance. I asked if they'd like to see the musical, but they thought I was joking. No teacher had ever suggested taking them out. a few weeks later, 4B and I were sitting in a theater. They loved the music, the costumes and the characters. It was the highlight of their year, and they talked about it for days.

Near the end of the term, someone knocked on the door of the staff room. The two most rebellious(ik)girls in 4B were there with flowers. I was proud to know I had touched their lives,and they had also touched mine.I enjoyed teaching and getting along with teenagers.

When I returned to Australia several years later, I still wanted to be a writer .For the first time in my life, I stopped dreaming and started writing. My first story was titled, My fair Ladies. Teaching wasn't the end of my writing career, but it was the beginning.

【解析】

本文是一篇記敘文�！拔摇眲偖�(dāng)老師時面對一個混亂的課堂，后來“我”走進(jìn)她們的生活與她們交談。隨著時間的流逝，“我”與學(xué)生的關(guān)系改善了�！拔摇毕氘�(dāng)作家，與孩子們相處的經(jīng)歷成為了“我”的寫作素材。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“I’m standing in a class of wild 14-year-old girls as they throw paper and howl with laughter. They won’t listen to me.”可知，我站在班級中，一群14歲缺乏管教的女孩在扔紙并且放聲大笑，他們不聽我的要求。因此剛開始時作者的學(xué)生是缺乏管教的和令人感到不舒服的。故選A。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的“As time went on, their articles became a bridge between us. I admired their humor, toughness and insight, and I thought they appreciated my interest in their lives.”可知，隨著時間的流逝，她們的文章成為了我們之間溝通的橋梁。我很欣賞她們的幽默感，韌性和洞察力，我認(rèn)為她們體會到了我對她們的生活很感興趣。作由此判斷出學(xué)生們開始寫文章后，作者和她的學(xué)生之間的關(guān)系有了改善。故選D。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第六段中的“I enjoyed teaching and getting along with teenagers.” 和第七段中的“Teaching wasn’t the end of my writing career, but it was the beginning.”可知，我很喜歡教書并與青少年相處。教學(xué)不是我寫作生涯的終點而是開始。因此從最后兩段我們可以推斷出作者的教學(xué)經(jīng)驗豐富了她的寫作素材。故選C。

【4】標(biāo)題判斷題。通讀全文可知，文章講述的是作者剛當(dāng)老師時面對一個混亂的課堂，作者慢慢走進(jìn)她們的生活，她與學(xué)生的關(guān)系改善了。作者想當(dāng)作家的夢想從寫與學(xué)生們相處的經(jīng)歷開始了。結(jié)合文章第三段中的“As time went on, their articles became a bridge between us.”可知，“their articles became a bridge between us”是關(guān)鍵信息，即學(xué)生們的文章成為了我們之間溝通的橋梁。因此“寫作搭建橋梁”作為文章標(biāo)題是合適的。故選A。
