答案与解析：

本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。母亲问“我”身体最重要的部位是什么。“我”给出了几个答案，母亲都说不正确。爷爷去世时，母亲给了“我”答案：身体最重要的部位是肩膀，因为每个人的一生中总有一些时候需要有个肩膀可以靠着哭泣。“我”最后明白了人身体最重要的部位应该是无私的，它承载着对别人痛苦的同情。

1.D　此处表示“我”一直在揣测这个问题的正确答案。notice“注意到”;believe in“相信”;doubt“怀疑”;guess at“猜测”。故答案选D。

2.C　从下文“My ears”可知答案。

3.B　由句意可知，当“我”回答耳朵最重要时，母亲说很多人是聋子。

4.C　由信息词“my first”以及上文内容可推知，这里表示自从“我”第一次尝试回答这个问题以来，“我”一直在思考这个问题。make a discovery“发现”;make a decision“决定”;make an attempt“尝试”; make a suggestion“提议”。依据句意可知，答案选C。

5.A　由“but”可知，“我”虽然学得很快，但是回答得不正确。

6.D　介词over表示在一段时间内。其他选项均无此意。

7.D　由上文内容以及信息词“always”，可知，此处表示这些年来就这个问题母亲又问了“我”几次。此处容易误选C，依据文意，这里不是表示问更多的问题，而是表示就一个问题问了好几次。

8.C　因为“我”每次回答都与以前不同，所以母亲说“我”一年比一年聪明了。句中的“but”是重要信息词。

9.C　由下文“to say our final goodbye to Grandpa”可知“爷爷去世了”。

10.B　It is one's turn to do sth.意为“轮到某人做某事”。

11.A　上文提到爷爷去世，母亲在这时还问“我”这个问题，所以“我”感到很吃惊。其他三个选项均不符合语境。

12.A　在此之前，“我”一直以为这是“我”和母亲之间的一个游戏，没想到在这样的场合她又提出了这个问题。

13.B　联系上下文语境可知，“我”的表情一定是很困惑(puzzlement)的。worry“担心”;regret“遗憾”;pain“疼痛”，均不符合句意。

14.D　live a/one's...life意为“过着……的生活”。其他选项用在此处均不符合句意。

15.A　由下文“hold up your head”可知，母亲认为人体最重要的部位是肩膀。

16.B　依据上文“Is it because they hold up your head”可确定答案。

17.C　由上文“a crying friend or a loved one”可知，此处用love。

18.B　由上文“on them a crying friend or a loved one can rest his or her head”可知，此处应选on。

19.C　由文章最后一句可知，此处应选C。selfish“自私的，不顾他人的”。

20.A　此处表示它代表了对他人的痛苦的同情。这也是全文的主题。

Ⅲ.阅读理解

So long as teachers fail to distinguish (differ) between teaching and learning，they will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves.Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them.It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading.Douglas insists that “reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible”.

Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes.They differ in kind and function.The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to plan cleverly the most efficient (有效的) system for teaching themselves to read.Teaching is also a public activity：It can be seen and observed.

Learning to read involves all that each individual does to understand the world of printed language.Almost all of it is private，for learning is an occupation of the mind，and that process is not open to public scrutiny.

If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable，what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the long search for knowledge?Smith has one principle rule for all teaching instructions.“Make learning to read easy，which means making reading a meaningful，enjoyable and frequent experience for children.”

When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are，and when both teacher and learner fulfill them properly，then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is got rid of.Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the chance to solve the problem of learning to read by learning.

1.The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that________.

A.too much time is spent in teaching about reading

B.reading tasks are given with little guidance

C.it is one of the most difficult school courses

D.students spend limited hours in reading

答案与解析：A　推理判断题。根据文章第一段倒数第二句“在阅读活动方面并不是时间无休止地投入”，也就是说“在阅读上花费的时间太多了”。故选A。

2.The teaching of reading will be successful if________.

A.teachers can make their teaching activities observable

B.teachers can teach their students how to read

C.teachers can improve conditions at school for the students

D.teachers can enable students to develop their own way of reading

答案与解析：D　细节理解题。通读“Almost all of it is private，for learning is an occupation of the mind，and that process is not open to public scrutiny”可知，private与not open to public scrutiny 同义，据此可推知答案为D。

3.The word “scrutiny” (Paragraph 3 ) most probably means “________”.
