【解析】
試題分析:文章大意:文章講述了作者的兒子因車禍而受傷,這令他很難過。但他的同樣遭受過車禍的兒時的同學(xué)海倫的生活態(tài)度感染了他,給他了希望,最后他的兒子奇跡般的康復(fù)了。
1.
2.lived生活;survived幸存;existed存在;escaped逃跑。從后半句“(Helen)從腰部以下全部癱瘓”可知,Helen從車禍中幸存了下來。survive the accident是常用搭配,表示“從事故中幸存下來”。故選B
3. one’s mind意為“在某人的心目中”。 句意是以一個13歲孩子的思維認為從此她不可能再正常生活了。故選A
4.equally平等地;calmly平靜地;quietly安靜地;normally正常地。作者認為Helen成為殘疾人之后很難再過正常人的生活,因此這里用normally。故選D
5.句意是幾年后我離開了,并且古語海倫再沒想那么多。故選B
6.suffering遭受;causing導(dǎo)致;bearing忍受;catching抓住。兒子被汽車撞了,導(dǎo)致了嚴重的腦損傷。故選B
7.
8. off掛斷電話。從前句的作者的情緒可知,她應(yīng)該是掛斷了電話。句意是我無原因的流淚了并掛斷了電話。故選B
9.因為是坐著輪椅所以用roll,滾動。坐著輪椅不可能是跑進、走進或是移進房間,而應(yīng)該是滾動輪椅進入房間的。故選C
10.tissues紙巾;presents禮物;pills藥片;candies糖果。由后面的“She smiled, handed me the tissues and hugged me.”可知Helen來的時候帶著紙巾。故選A
11.realized意識到;knew知道;recognized認出;reminded記得。雖然16年沒見,但作者還是認出了Helen,用recognized。故選C
12.
13.clear清晰的;smoothed使平靜;cleaned干凈的;opened打開。smooth the path for sb.固定搭配,“為某人鋪平道路”。 句意是她使那些比她更不幸的人平靜下來。故選B
14.fortunate幸運。作為殘疾人,Helen能結(jié)婚、生子、獲得學(xué)位,是很幸運的事,因此她這樣做就為那些生活比她還要不幸的人鋪平了生活道路。故選D
15. learned that where there is life, there is hope可以推出答案。海倫給作者的應(yīng)該是精神上的安慰,希望。故選B。
16.
17.admitted承認;beaten打擊;hurt受傷;hospitalized住院。從上文提到的“my oldest son was hit by a car while riding his bike, 6 (causing) a terrible brain injury”可知這里作者指的是兒子在意外中受傷,用hurt,而其他的詞性不符合語境。故選C。
18.
19. north可知,這里應(yīng)指的是作者兒子康復(fù),用recovered而不是treated治療,worsened惡化,relieved減輕。故選D
20.a debt債務(wù),這里應(yīng)指人情債,句意是我欠海倫一個永遠都無法償還的人情債。此句意為“但是我欠Helen一筆永遠償還不了的債”。故選C

If we agree that the function of education is to prepare us for life, then there is very little time to waste. So, while we can, we ought to concentrate on teaching children something really useful. Here is what our schools should teach.
Politeness is a mark of civilization. The sooner children learn this, the better. In any case, a lot can be accomplished by a smile and good manners.
Like it or not, our adult lives will be consumed by the struggle for money, but we don’t make an effort to teach children how to manage it. So our schools have a duty to teach them this ability from the beginning.
We’re likely not to accept something we are told, but that’s not what educated people do. Educated people are reasonable and they look at facts. If our schools teach nothing else, they should at least teach critical(批判性的)thinking.
Children should learn to take care of their health. They should know that if they eat junk food(垃圾食品), they will become fat and unhealthy. They should be very clear about what happens to their bodies when they drink or smoke.
All of us are part of society. We have rights and responsibilities. We ought to understand what they are. We have to know a little bit of history and geography, because we need to have an environment in which to relate to the people around us.
How will we test students on these? We can’t. But that’s not a reason to avoid teaching what is important. Our schools should spend every moment they have telling this to our children: “This is life, this is what you are going to face, and this is how you deal with it.”
1. | Very Useful Schooling |
Introduction | Education should be a 2. for life. |
Advice | Important things should be taught in 3. . |
Teaching 4. | ●How to 5. properly ●The basic skill of6. money ●How to7. in a critical way ●How to keep 8. ●The rights and responsibilities one has in 9. |
Conclusion | Children should be taught what10. is and how to deal with it. |
