That morning,I stepped into the classroom,ready to share my knowledge and experience with seventyfive students who would be my English Literature class. Having taught in 1        for seventeen years,I had no 2        about my ability to hold their attention and to 3        on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue.

  I was shocked when the monitor shouted ," 4      ！" The entire class rose as I entered the room,and I was somewhat 5        about how to get them to sit down again,but once that awkwardness (馗MO was over,I quickly 6        my calmness and began what I thought was a factpacked lecture,sure to gain their respect―perhaps 7       their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which came from a sense of achievement.

  My students 8        diaries. However,as I read them,the rosy glow was gradually 9        by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, "Our literature teacher didn't teach us anything today. 10       her next lecture will be better. " Greatly surprised,I read diary after diary,each expressing a11 theme. "Didn't I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework of Western thought and laid the historical 12        for all the works we'll study in class," I complained. "How 13       they say I didn't teach them anything?"

  It was a long term,and it 14        became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as those of my 15 . I thought a teacher's job was to raise 16        questions and provide enough background so that students could 17        their own conclusions. My students thought a teacher's job was to provide 18        information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference！

科目：高中英語 來源： 題型：

  Recently people have been witnessing the popularity of Korean serials in China. Many Korean serials have been showed on CCTV-8 even CCTV-1,let alone other local channels. And it is hard to get through a day without some talk about Korean serials. They enjoy high watching rate and have profound influences on people.

  My grandmother used to be strongly against watching TV,and insisted that TV did little good to people,especially the youth. But from unknown time,grandmother became interested in watching TV,and now and then,she would talk about the actors and plot with me. Frequently,she would be seated in front of the TV waiting for her favorite Korean serials. This summer I also felt deeply about the popularity of Korean serials,thereafter,I asked why. Basically,they are the visual effects,the plot,and the music that contribute to the phenomenon.

  First of all,Korean serials are eyecatching. They usually have handsome actors and beautiful actresses. Zhang Dong Jian's gentlemanship and An Zai Xu's fascinating eyesight catch thousands of young females' hearts,while young males greatly appreciate Song Hui Qiao's elegance and Jin Xi Shan's beauty. Regardless of their skills and other factors like the plot,the actors function effectively in keeping a watching record.

  In addition,they get marvelous pictures,from which we enjoy changeable seasons and places of interest in Korea. Blue sky and white cloud signify (represent) good state of mind of the characters,and drizzling weather and red umbrella intensify romantic impression. So watching them is just like enjoying free trips.

  Then comes to the plot of Korean serials,which can attract people of various ages. Most Korean serials have supporting characters who behave like either Cinderella's sisters or BaoYu's father,so the main characters,as a result,would have to suffer and experience a lot before their final weddings. Some people argue that the story between the main characters maybe too romantic to believe,however,these people seem to neglect to take into account that their love is what most young people are actually longing for. So,serials of this kind are young people's favorite.

  Quite a number of our serials fail to consider many factors other than love,and the case in point is Qiong Yao's work,in which love seems to be the only thing in life. However,Korean serials take friendship and family relationship as well into the plot,and these are the very things that attract people in both middle and old ages,as they make the serials humorous,reliable,and close to ordinary audience.

  Still,another point is about music. Though young people today are crazy about Jazz or Rap music as they express ideas of the youth,Korean music may be not inferior to them. In this Hip-Hop world,smooth and lyric Korean music is like spring breathes,it calms young people down and warms people's hearts. Even if people know little about the words,just to enjoy the music is not a bad thing.

(   ) 5. The writer took his grandmother as an example to show that        .

   A. she was free from her housework nowadays

   B. the influence of the Korean serials was overflowing

   C. the children have grown up and films won't do them bad

   D. she can enjoy the smooth and lyric Korean music instead of Jazz or Rap

(   ) 6. The writer seems to believe that our serials such as Qiong Yao's work fail to reach the same popularity as Korean serials mainly because        .

   A. our music is inferior to theirs

   B. our actors are not so eyecatching

   C. the pictures in Korean serials are more breath taking

   D. the plot of Korean serials attracts people of various ages

(   ) 7. What is mainly discussed in this passage?

   A. The romantic factor of the Korean Serials.

   B. The effective use of the language in the film.

   C. The popularity of Korean Serials in China.

   D. The cultural impact of the Korean Serials.

(   ) 8. From this passage we can conclude that the writer's attitude towards the Korean Serials is        .

   A. affirmative   B. negative

   C. neutral   D. indifferent

 Baseball is America's national sport. So it is not unusual that many popular expressions come from baseball. But first,let me explain a little about the game.

Each baseball team has nine players. The pitcher of one team throws the ball to a batter from the other team. The batter attempts to hit the ball. If he misses,it is called a strike. If a batter gets three strikes,he loses his turn at bat and is called out. The batter also is out if he hits the ball in the air and an opposing player catches it. But if the batter hits the ball and it is not caught,the batter tries to run to one or more of the four bases on the field. The batter can run to all four bases if he hits the ball over the fence or out of the ballpark. Such a hit is called a homerun.

  Now,here are some common expressions from baseball. Someone who is "on the ball" is intelligent and able to do a good job. But a person who " threw a curve ball" did something unexpected. Someone who " steps up to the plate" is ready to do his or her job. A "pinch hitter" takes the place of someone else at a job or activity.

  Sometimes I have to give information quickly,without time to think it over. Then I would say something "right off the bat". If someone is doing an extremely good job and is very successful,you might say he or she is " batting one thousand".

  If I say I want to "touch base" with you,I will talk to you from time to time about something we plan to do. I might say I "touched all the bases" if I did what is necessary to complete a job or activity. And if I " covered my bases" I was well prepared. However,someone who is "way off base" did something wrong or maybe even dishonest or immoral. A person with strange ideas might be described as "out in left field".

  Finally,when a situation changes completely,we say "that is a whole new ballgame".

(   ) 1. The text is written mainly         .

   A. to tell baseball is America's national sport

   B. to explain the rules of a sport game

   C. to introduce some useful expressions from sports

   D. to show the connection between expressions and sports

(   ) 2. The passage is the script of a program for         .

   A. sports in America   B. words and their stories

   C. the way to study English   D. the history of idioms

(   ) 3. What does the underlined sentence "The batter also is out" mean?

   A. The batter comes out from his position.

   B. The batter will not continue the game.

   C. The match will be over suddenly.

   D. The batter will change his position.

(   ) 4. Which of the following expressions can show the meaning that someone is ready to something?

   A. Right off the bat.

   B. Throw a curve ball.

   C. Cover his bases.

   D. That is a whole new ballgame.

(   ) 5. What is the main idea of the second paragraph?

   A. The history of baseball.

   B. The rules of baseball.

   C. The connection between baseball and the expressions.

   D. Baseball is popular in America.

  California pet lover has founded an internet radio station designed to ease the lives of lonely dogs and cats around the world.

  Styled as " the radio station all pets prefer"，DogCatRadio.com goes out live 17 hours each day from a van in the car park of a Los Angeles recording studio.

  DJs speak to pets directly,and ask " pet parents" to send in pictures.

  Founder Adrian Martinez,34 ，says the station aims to keep pets company while their "parents" head out to work.

  DogCatRadio's daily play list ranges from the soothing (撫慰) sounds of Irish singer Enya to Elvis Presley's classic anthem (圣歌) ，Hound Dog.

In between tracks,Mr. Martinez and his fellow DJs offer practical advice to pet owners,plus a liberal sprinkling (小雨) of the station's signature sound―barks and miaows.

  Mr. Martinez,an independent record producer,hopes that many of his audience will be listening in while at home alone,albeit (雖然，盡管) with a little help from their human friends.

  "My cat,Snickers,asked me to do it," Mr. Martinez told the New York Times. Faced with a nervous,restless cat at home one day,Mr.  Martinez discovered that Snickers calmed down almost as soon as he turned up the background music a little. "I wanted to do something for the pet community," he said.

  The station,which claims8,000 listeners each week through its website,currently makes no money.

  But the US pet industry is worth an estimated $35 bn (£ 19. 7bn) annually,and Mr. Martinez eventually hopes to attract advertising.

(   ) 5. The radio station was founded in order to         .

   A. help the owners of the pets

   B. ask people to love the animals

   C. comfort the lonely dogs and cats in America

   D. be the pets' company when they are left alone at home

(   ) 6. The underlined word "miaows" means         .

   A. the music from the radio

   B. the sounds made by cat

   C. the voice of the DJs at the station

   D. the Elvis Presley's classic anthem,Hound Dog

(   ) 7. Which of the following statements is true?

   A. Mr. Martinez loved his cat so much that he decided to set up a radio station for it.

   B. The radio station is located in a recording studio.

   C. Mr. Martinez happened to find that background music can calm down the cat.

   D. It is hard for people to understand the programmes of the station.

(   ) 8. What can you infer from the passage?

   A. Most of the audience are the "parents" of the pets.

   B. If you want to pick up the programme,you just need a radio.

   C. The market of the pet service in the US is large.

   D. The DJs can communicate with the pets directly.

 My ears are recently full of joyous remarks from my friends such as, "Oh,Beckham is so handsome,so cool,that I can't help falling in love with him!" or "What perfect skills he has！”

  Yeah,I 1       to some degree,though I sometimes do want to 2        them how much they know about Beckham,apart from his 3        and how much they know about football apart from 4        goals. It seems funny that we are 5        for things,with which we are unfamiliar or about which we are 6       ,but we all,my friends as well as I,consider this one of life's 7       .

  We need these pleasures to 8        our lives. But that doesn't 9        to craziness or nonsense. As an old saying goes: "Don't judge a book by its cover."We should not judge anything from its 10       . We should all know,it is one's good 11        and great contribution that make one a star and unforgettable. Therefore we'd better say 12        about Beckham's good looks.

  If we close our eyes,falling in deep 13       ,we can find that the things that move us to be really happy or sad have a 14 meaning. If we don't go deeper and are just satisfied with 15        things,sooner or later we will find that we have not really gained anything because our first 16        has blinded and misled us,and we will remain ignorant (無知的) 17       we realize that and make some changes.

  It is believed that thinking and going deeper than before is 18        of great progress. If one day we are willing to go deeper into everything,no matter how much it 19        us,we will finally prove how much we have 20        up,how much more sensible,mature,and intelligent we have become.
