Question

  The past two years of John's life may be his best. Two years ago he was voted Teacher of the Year for his school where he teaches math and science to the 5th grade students. This past year he was voted Teacher of the Year for his school for the second time,and he also received the honor of Teacher of the Year for his entire district. Last year his wife gave birth to twins. Despite all of these achievements,John's focus never left his passion for teaching and his students,not to mention the fact that he also published a book about teaching science during that period.

  All of these achievements,although not ordinary,may be common among your hardwork?ing teachers,but this is not the case for John. You see,when John was 18 ,he had a baseball accident that left him paralyzed from the chest down. Despite the challenges he faced physical?ly,mentally,and spiritually he never gave up and was able to continue to dream of becoming a teacher. And now he has so much more to teach than just math and science. Every day in his life serves a purpose,and his students are reminded of those values. John makes no excuses for what he can and cannot do in his life and continues to strive to not only make his students excel,but also push them to live up to and stand up for what they believe in.

  I can tell you more about what he means to so many people in his family,school,and community but that can never prove what John stands for. Above all John is a standup guy and he will continue to do this for the rest of his life.

A篇：本文講述了一位身殘志堅(jiān)的教師的故事。

1. D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段內(nèi)容可知，在過(guò)去的兩年里，約翰不但兩次被選舉為他所在學(xué)校的年度教師，還被選為所在地區(qū)的年度教師。此外,他妻子為他生了一對(duì)雙胞胎，事業(yè)生活雙豐收，因此說(shuō)這兩年也許是他最輝煌的兩年。

2. C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段"All of these achievements,although not ordinary,may be common among your hardworking teachers,but this is not the case for John."可知，盡管這些成就并不普通，在勤奮的老師中也許是常見(jiàn)的，但這對(duì)于約翰來(lái)說(shuō)并非如此。再結(jié)合下文的敘述可知，約翰能取得這些成就是不容易的。

3. C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段"...strive to not only make his students excel,but also push them to live up to and stand up for what they believe in."可知，John的人生目標(biāo)是努力培養(yǎng)更多優(yōu)秀的學(xué)生。

4. A標(biāo)題判斷題。根據(jù)全文內(nèi)容及文章最后一句話可知，約翰盡管半身癱瘓,可是在人們心中他很高大，是個(gè)頂天立地的男子漢。由此可知答案。
