I want to share with others what I know and what I have learned through the years.Life is full of ups and downs, and if I can help students avoid some potholes on the road of life, I want to do so.If theyll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, I want to do, too.Teaching isnt for everyone, but I know I have made the right career choice.语篇解读：为什么要从事教育事业？学生的提问让“我”也认真思考了这个问题，原因就是母亲的影响、自己对教育事业的执着和对学生的热爱。25What do you think of the writer?AStupid.BHonest.CClever.DPolite.解析：选B细节理解题。通过作者的自我剖析，能够看出她作为一名教师，首先是很诚实的。故B项符合题意。26According to the text, which of the following is NOT true?AThe writers mother has the greatest influence on her.BThe writers answer made the student confused.CIn the writers opinion, some people in the world are unfit to teach.DThe writer annoyed the student who asked the question.解析：选D细节理解题。由第四段前两句排除A项；由第二段中的“.walked away looking confused”排除B项；由文章最后一句“Teaching isnt for everyone”排除C项。故D项符合题意。27Whats the main idea of the text?AA students silly question.BA good teacher who likes students.CA confused student.DThe reason why I teach.解析：选D主旨大意题。通过学生的提问，作者主要陈述了自己从事教育事业的原因，故D项正确。28We can infer from the text that _.Athe writer was also a good teacher in schoolBthe writer often plays with her students beside a pondCthe writer devotes herself to teaching and her studentsDthe writer often accompanies the students on their way home解析：选C推理判断题。作者通过剖析自己从事教育事业的原因，从而表达了她热爱教育和对学生的热情。故C项正确。CTo country walkers, they are the plants to be avoided.But to gardeners, it appears that stinging nettles (大荨麻) may be attractive as they are now being sold for 7.99 to those who wish to boost_ the wildlife in their flowerbeds.The Gardeningexpress.co.uk website sells stinging nettles in its “weeds (杂草) and wildlife plants” section, and says supplies have already been snapped up (抢购) by eager buyers.The product description tells gardeners: “Many people are now planting these in their gardens for wildlife. They are important food for the caterpillars (幼虫) of red admirals (赤蛱蝶), peacocks, and tortoiseshell butterflies. If you live in the town and there are not wildlife friendly plants in your garden, this one has to be your first choice.”It also suggests the nettles could make a “healthy snack” for people as the plant is rich in vitamins A and C, iron, potassium, manganese and calcium. They can be used to make a delicious soup. Chris Bonnet from the website told the Daily Mail: “Some call them weeds but we dont want to hurt their feelings. After all, a weed is only a plant in the wrong place. For gardeners who want to do their bit for the nations wildlife theyre a must.” “Also available on the site are dandelion (蒲公英) plants for 3.99 each and buttercups (毛茛) for 5.99. Although many gardeners are trying to remove dandelion plants and buttercups from their lawns, supplies of the dandelions are also said to have been snapped up. Buyers are advised they should be planted to provide yellow flowers.”Mr Bonnet added: “While plants such as buttercups and dandelions may seem like weeds in the middle of a lawn, if they are planted in a flowerbed they can look beautiful and really make a garden beautiful.Demand has been surprising.We are having to clear extra space in our nursery so we can grow more.”语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，讲述了一家网站出售带刺的大荨麻，因为这种植物种在花园里可以招来更多的野生动物。29The underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_”AscareBincreaseCprotect Dharm解析：选 B词义猜测题。由第三段中的“Many people are now planting these in their gardens for wildlife.” 可知，这种植物可以吸引更多的野生动物，所以人们购买这种植物是为了“增加”花园里野生动物的数量。30What do we know about stinging nettles?AThey can be eaten by humans.BThey are harmful to the environment.CThey are popular with country walkers.DThey look great in the middle of a lawn.解析：选A细节理解题。由第四段内容可知这种植物可以食用。 31What can be inferred from Chris Bonnets words?AButtercups and dandelions are weeds.BIts not easy to take care of a flowerbed.CHis website is expecting a promising market.DStinging nettles are more useful than dandelions.解析：选C推理判断题。由文末的“Demand has been surprising.We are having to clear extra space in our nursery so we can grow more.” 可以推断，网站的销售前景很可观。 32In which part of a magazine can we probably read this text?ATravel.BCulture.CNature. DFashion.解析：选C推理判断题。本文中提到的荨麻、花园、草坪、野生动物等是与自然相关的，所以本文最有可能出自“自然”板块。DResearchers are finding new ways to save snakebite victims. Experts discussed the latest findings during a recent conference.Scientists in Australia have shown that a chemical called nitric oxide could increase the chances of surviving a poisonous snakebite. The scientists injected rats with a deadly amount of snake venom. Then they rubbed an ointment (软膏) containing nitric oxide on the skin around the injection site. The study found that the rats lived about onethird longer than if nitric oxide had not been used. But the treatment had to be started very quickly.Dirk van Helden led the research. He says the nitric oxide ointment also showed promise in humans. The study appeared earlier this year in the journal Nature Medicine. Scientists say the findings could help save many lives. A recent study found that poisonous snakes cause as many as ninetyfour thousand deaths worldwide each year. But Ulrich Kuch of the Biodiversity and Climate Research Center in Frankfurt, Germany, says that number appears to be low. Mr Kuch says many deaths could be prohibited if snakebite victims are treated correctly, but they often go to traditional healers or do not seek any help at all. He said, “Sometimes its because there is no treatment available no antivenom (抗蛇毒血清), which is the specific (特殊的) drug to treat snakebites or health care staff do not know how to treat snakebites, and sometimes its because transportation to get to a health facility is not available or too expensive.”There is no single antivenom that can be used to treat all snakebites. The antivenom must be specific to the kind of snake that bit the person. In some countries the treatment is costly, while in others there is no such treatment.语篇解读：全世界每年都有很多人死于被蛇咬，科学家们正在研究治疗蛇毒的新方法，并且取得了进步。33What is this passage mainly about?ASnakebite deaths around the world.BProgress in fighting snakebite deaths.CSnakebite treatment around the world.DThe chances of surviving a poisonous snakebite.解析：选B主旨大意题。通读全文可知，主要是讲科学家们在蛇毒治疗研究方面所取得的新的进展，故选B。34What does Paragraph 3 suggest?AThe number of deaths caused by snakebites is becoming lower each year.BThe nitric oxide ointment has saved thousands of peoples lives.CIt is very important to find an effective way to treat snakebites.DThe number of deaths caused by snakebites worldwide is low.解析：选C推理判断题。根据第三段的“A recent study found that poisonous snakes cause as many as ninetyfour thousand deaths worldwide each year.”可知，目前每年都还有差不多十万人死于被蛇咬，这说明找到一种治疗蛇毒的有效方法非常重要。35What does the underlined word “prohibited” in Paragraph 4 mean?ACaused. BConsidered.CExamined.DPrevented.解析：选D词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的“if snakebite victims are treated correctly”可知，这里是指如果正确地治疗，很多死亡可以被“阻止”。第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How can we all get more laughter into our lives? Here is what the experts suggest：_36_ Nancy Alguire, a teacher in Clifton Park, N. Y， was once painfully shy and had a hard time laughing. Then she married a circus clown (小丑). “I became interested in the clowns，” she recalls. “One day I put on a costume and paint my face. That afternoon my whole life changed. I learned to laugh and enjoy life in a way I had never done before.” _37_ To this day, she still makes it a rule to be with people who enjoy life and laughing._38_ It doesnt take you too much time and can be easy. Collect favourite cartoons and jokes. Also, keep a paper for writing down humour you find in everyday life. “Good ideas come and go fast. You have to capture them quickly or they are gone，” says Virginia Tooper.Laugh when you need it most. Comedian Bill Cosby says, “_39_” “And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it，” he insists.Gray Alan, a sociology professor at the University of Minnesota, claims that laughter is a skill we can all gain because it comes naturally. _40_ Just remember: We are just here for a period, so get a few laughs.AYou can soften the worst blows through humour.BMix with people who laugh.CPractise the art of laughing.DKeep a laughter file (文档)EHe who laughs last laughs best.FBut its also something
