　　“You must be mad!” said my friends．“Giving up your job now, when there isn't much chance of finding another one, ever!”

　　But I had already come to my lonely decision．To wake up in the morning with a sense of fear, to force a hasty breakfast down an unwilling throat and then to set off for work with pounding heart and frozen face had become habitual, and I had turned to tranquilizers(鎮(zhèn)定劑)to help me along．

　　It hadn't always been as bad as this．Ten years before I had managed quite well．

　　I, in common with most other teachers, am rather self-critical, and I knew now I was no longer “managing”．My classes were noisy, the children were not learning very much, and my attempts to cope with changing teaching methods produced very little effect．At one time my very presence in the doorway would be enough to ensure a partial silence．Now they give a vague(含糊的)“Hello, Miss”, and carry on．I had run out of enjoyment and enthusiasm．It was time to stop．

　　Was it all my own failure? In fairness to myself, I don't think it was．I had plenty of ideas, I loved my subject, and I liked children．

　　I had been idealistic．But the reality I faced was bored children, over-stimulated(刺激)by video-watching the night before and tired out by a late bedtime．They were given the wrong food at the wrong time, who came without breakfast to school and then stuffed themselves with gum and chocolates bought on the way; who were “high” with hunger in class and talked restlessly as the cooking smell from the school kitchen came drifting(漂)to all floors．

　　I had been trying to create the basic conditions in which teaching becomes possible, but I had failed, and no longer had the stomach for the job．

(1)

The reason why the writer decided to give up her job was probably that ________．

[　　]

A．

teaching children wasn't challenging

B．

she took no pride in her work

C．

teaching had become too much for her

D．

she disliked the new teaching method

(2)

“My very presence in the doorway would be enough to ensure a partial silence” means“________”．

[　　]

A．

I'd very well make some students stop talking simply by standing in the doorway

B．

when I came to the doorway, the class would immediately quiet down

C．

all the students would become silent on my turning up in the doorway

D．

my appearance in the doorway could at least comfort the class

(3)

The following are all reasons that children couldn't concentrate in class EXCEPT ________．

[　　]

A．

they were tired out because they went to bed too late

B．

they were burdened with too much homework

C．

they were not properly fed by their parents

D．

they were over excited by video-watching the night before

(4)

We can infer from the passage that the writer ________．

[　　]

A．

had no love for children at all

B．

never truly enjoyed teaching

C．

found it difficult to give up her job

D．

felt extremely nervous about each coming day

答案：1．C;2．A;3．B;4．D;
解析：

(1)

推理判斷題。由文章第四段和第六段對那些孩子們的描述，作者的工作應(yīng)該非常具有挑戰(zhàn)性，所以A項(xiàng)錯誤。由第四段最后一句話和第五段的內(nèi)容可知，B項(xiàng)錯誤；D項(xiàng)原文沒有提及。通讀全文，根據(jù)文章作者對學(xué)生們狀態(tài)的描述及自己對教學(xué)現(xiàn)狀的失望，可以得出答案C。本題難。

(2)

猜測句意題。句中partial這個詞很關(guān)鍵，指“部分的”。句意為：我在門口一出現(xiàn)，部分學(xué)生就會停止說話。只有A項(xiàng)意思相符。難度適中。

(3)

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章最后一段介紹了孩子們注意力不能集中的原因，第二句提到了A項(xiàng)和D項(xiàng)；第三句提到了C項(xiàng)；只有B項(xiàng)沒有提到。故答案為B。本題易。

(4)

　　[解析]細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。由文中第五段可知，A項(xiàng)和B項(xiàng)錯誤；根據(jù)文章對學(xué)生們狀態(tài)的描述及他們對自己的視若無睹，可推斷出D項(xiàng)正確；由第四段最后一句話和最后一段自己對教學(xué)現(xiàn)狀的失望，可推斷出C項(xiàng)錯誤。難度適中。

　　[文章大意]作為一名教師，應(yīng)該是光榮而高尚的，但是在教學(xué)過程中只靠老師的熱情和愛心是遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不夠的，還需要學(xué)生的理解、支持和配合，面對那一群對學(xué)習(xí)毫無激情，對老師視若無睹的學(xué)生，作者該如何選擇呢？請看下文。
