Question

3．The teacher who did the most to encourage me was，as it happened，my aunt．She was Myrtle C．Manigault，the wife of my mother's brother Bill．She taught in second grade at all-black Summer School in Camden，New Jersey．During my childhood and youth，Aunt Myrtle encouraged me to develop every aspect of my potential，without regard for what was considered practical or possible for black females．I liked to sing； she listened to my voice and pronounced it good．I couldn't dance； she taught me the basic dancing steps．She took me to the theatre-not just children's theatre but adult comedies and dramas-and her faith that I could appreciate adult plays was not disappointed．
    My aunt also took down books from he r extensive library and shared them with me．I had books at home，but they were all serious classics．Even as a child I had a strong liking for humor，and I'll never forget the joy of discovering Don Marquis's Archy & Mehitabel through her．
    Most important，perhaps，Aunt Myrtle provided my first opportunity to write for publication．A writer herself for one of the black newspapers，she suggested my name to the editor as a"youth columnist"．My column，begun when I was fourteen，was supposed to cover teenage social activities-and it did-but it also gave me the freedom to write on many other subjects as well as the habit of gathering material，the discipline of meeting deadlines，and，after graduation from college six years later，a solid collection of published material that carried my name and was my passport to a series of writing jobs．
Today Aunt Myrtle is still an enthusiastic supporter of her"favourite niece"．Like a diamond，she has reflected a bright，multifaceted （多面的） image of possibilities to every pupil who has crossed her path．

Answer 1

分析 本文是一篇記敘文，主要講述作者的舅媽Myrtle C．Manigault作為一位出色的教師，善于引導學生發(fā)現(xiàn)自身潛力，并在發(fā)展愛好和興趣的同時給予學生們信心的故事．

解答 21．D．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第二段最后一句She took me to the theatre---not just children's…was not disappointed可知Aunt Myrtle不僅帶作者去看兒童劇同時也去看成人劇，故D項說法正確．根據(jù)第三段第一句和第二句可知A項說法錯誤；根據(jù)第二段第二句可知B項說法錯誤；根據(jù)第二段第三句可知C項說法錯誤．故選D．
22．A．詞義猜測題．前面提到舅媽也常常和我分享她的書，我家里有書，但都是些嚴肅的經(jīng)典書籍．根據(jù) I'll never forget the joy of discovering Don Marquis's Archy &Mehitabel through her．可知此處是指一本很有趣的書．故選A．
23．A．推理判斷題．根據(jù)第三段的Aunt Myrtle provided my first opportunity to write for publication．和aftergraduation from college six years later，a solid collection of published material thatcarried my name and was my passport to a series of writing jobs．可知AuntMyrtle給了我第一次寫作的機會，在大學畢業(yè)后的六年，我的作品出版了，走上了寫作之路．所以Aunt Myrtle推薦作者作報紙的編輯主要是為了鍛煉作者的寫作能力，故選A．
24．B．推理判斷題．通過理解全文和最后一段可知Aunt Myrtle作為一位老師，總是給予學生們信心并充分開發(fā)他們的潛力，故選B．

點評 本文是人生感悟類閱讀，考查學生對細節(jié)的理解把握和推理判斷能力，做題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進行比較，再做出正確選擇．在做推理判斷題時不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
