A
When I was about 12,I had an enemy,a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings.
Week by week her list grew: I was very thin; I wasn’t a good student;I talked too much; I was too proud and so on. I tried to bear all these things as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes. He listened to me quietly,then he asked,“Are the things she said true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re reallylike? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”
I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half of the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change(like being very thin), but a good number I could and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I got a fairly clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it, “That’s just for you,”he said. “You know better than anyone else, the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just closing your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true,you’ll find it will be of help to you. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to other people’s opinions, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.
Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life,I’ve never had a better piece of advice.”
文章大意:本文讲述的是作者听从父亲的建议,客观地对待一个“enemy”的指责,从而改正自己的缺点。

3.Why did her father listen to her quietly?
A.Because he believed that what her daughter’s enemy said was mostly true.
B. Because he had been so angry with his daughter’s shortcomings that he wanted to show this by keeping silent for a while.
C.Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment.

Spiritual Intelligence Quotient
Our spiritual intelligence quotient (精神智商), or SQ,helps us understand ourselves and live a fuller, happier life.
While we’re all born with SQ, most of us don’t even realize that we have it. Fortunately, you don’t have to sign up for classes to learn how to improve your SQ. Here are some simple steps that can lead you to a new level of understanding.
Sit Quietly. The process of developing spiritual intelligence begins with solitude(独处) and silence. To tune in to your spirit, you have to turn down the volume (强度) in your busy, noisy and complicated life and force yourself to do nothing at all. In the car,instead of reading or doing something else, use the time to think. At work,shut the door of your office between meetings,take a few breaths and let them out very, very slowly. Enjoy the stillness in your home after the kids are finally in bed.
Step Outside.For many people,nature sets their spirit free. Go outside to watch a beautiful sunset. If you are walking with your dog, take the time to admire flowers in bloom; follow the flight of birds; watch clouds floating overhead.
Ask Questions to Yourself. Ask open ended questions,such as “What am I feeling?”“What are my choices?”or “Where am I heading?”But don’t expect an answer to arrive through some supernatural forms or e-mails. “Rarely do I get an immediate answer to my question,”says Reverend Joan Carter. I never considered a problem from a different perspective (角度) before.
Trust Your Spirit.While most of us rely on our gut feelings (直觉) to realize danger,spiritual intelligence pushes us towards some action that will lead to a greater good.
文章大意:鉴于精神智商可以帮助我们了解自己并使我们活得更充实、完美与幸福的事实,作者在文章中着重向读者介绍了四种提高并利用精神智商的方法。
5.The passage is mainly about .
A.what your SQ is and in what way it can benefit your life
B.what your SQ is and in what way it can be improved
C.the relationship between your SQ and your life
D.the advantages and disadvantages of SQ
答案:B 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段及整篇文章内容可知,全文始终围绕着精神智商以及如何提高精神智商展开。
6.The underlined phrase“tune in to your spirit”in the third paragraph probably means .
A.get your spirit relaxed
B.keep up your spirit
C.keep seated quietly
D.change your spirit
答案:A 词义推理题。第三段的主题是“Sit Quietly”,该段信息全都围绕“quietly”一词展开,文章说,发展精神智商的过程源于静寂和独处。因此,只有使自己与精神状态结合即放松自己才可以达到目的,故选A;keep up your spirit为“保持高昂的情绪”;keep seated quietly为“静坐着”;change your spirit为“改变你的精神”。
7.The author mentions the example of Reverend Joan Carter to show that .
A.there are no immediate answers to your questions
B.e-mails can’t keep working out a problem
C.the more questions you ask,the better answers you’ll get
D.changing your way of thinking might help you solve a problem
答案:D 细节题。文章第五段明确要求询问自己一些无限制的问题。但是不要期望通过某种超自然的形式或电子邮件得以解答这些问题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“I never considered a problem from a different perspective (角度)before.”可知,变换思考方式也许能够帮你解决问题。
8.From the passage,we can know that the most important thing to improve your SQ is .
A.a peaceful mind
B.deep thought
C.spare time and hobbies
D.good spirit
答案:A 综合题。根据语篇可知,提高我们的精神智商最重要的是要保持宁静的心境。

4.At work, it is IQ that gets you hired but it is EQ that gets you promoted.
在职场上,你的智商决定了你能否被录用,而情商则决定了你能否得到提拔。
1)句中It is...that...为强调结构,此句中含有两个强调句,都是对主语“IQ”和“EQ”进行强调的。
其基本结构是“It is/was+被强调部分+that/who+剩余部分”;一般疑问结构是“Is/Was it+被强调部分+that/who+剩余部分”;特殊疑问结构是“who/what/when/where/why/how+is/was it+that+剩余部分”。本结构中,it无意义;若原句时态为现在或将来时态,be用is的形式,若原句时态为过去时态,则be用was的形式。

(强调宾语)
→It was in the street that I saw John this morning.
(强调地点状语)
→It was this morning that I saw John in the street.
(强调时间状语)
注意:(1)强调主语时,that/who的谓语与主语保持一致。
(2)强调句型与主语从句的区别。主语从句中it is/was后通常用名词或形容词作表语,而强调句中it is/was是主语、宾语或状语的强调。
(3)强调句型与it开头含有定语从句或状语从句的复合句的区别是:强调句型可以还原,但定语从句或状语从句不能还原;强调句型中it仅起引导词的作用,无实际含义。而it开头含有定语从句或状语从句中的it是代词,可能代指时间,也可能代指地点、距离、天气等,视情况而定。

词语辨析
likely,possible,probable
这三个词都有“可能”的意思,其区别是:
1)likely表示“很可能”,大体上和probable同义,但比probable可能性小。likely之后常跟不定式,即be likely to do sth.,其主语是人或事。
2)possible表示的可能性比likely小,常用于句型It is possible(for sb.)to do sth.。
3)probable 的可能性最大,常用于句型It is probable that...。
4)这三个词共同之处是都可用于下列句型It is likely/possible/probable that...中。It为形式主语,that引导的主语从句是句子的真正主语。
我们有可能讨论这个问题。
We are likely to discuss the question.
It is possible for us to discuss the question.
It is likely/possible/probable that we will discuss the question.
2)on(the) one hand...,on the other hand
“一方面……,另一方面……”常表示相矛盾的两个方面。

一方面是旅馆靠海,可是另一方面是价钱太贵。

A.suggest B.suggests
C.suggested D.suggesting
答案:B本题考查谓语动词。句意:如此多的人仍旧在公共场所吸烟的事实表明我们需要一次全国范围内的活动来提升人们对吸烟的危害的认识。分析结构可知,空白处为谓语动词,并且主语为the fact,谓语动词要用第三人称单数,故B项正确。
2.Alice trusts you; only you can her to give up the foolish idea.
A.suggest B.attract
C.tempt D.persuade
答案:D本题考查动词辨析。句意为“艾丽斯信任你。只有你能说服她放弃这种愚蠢的想法”。suggest one’s doing意为“建议某人做……”;attract sb. to do sth.意为“吸引某人做某事”;tempt sb. to do sth.意为“引诱某人做某事”;persuade sb. to do sth.意为“说服某人做某事”。

me to go.She said,“I think you should break out of your shyness,otherwise it will be hard for you to 8 in this society.”
She was right.I was always so shy that I missed many 9 .In fact,I used to have a beautiful 10 that one day I would become a news broadcaster,but I knew it was unlikely because of my shyness.
I thought for a long time and then I decided to have a go.How 11 I was!I felt I had made the first step in 12 my cowardice(胆怯).I 13 late at night to prepare for the coming debate.But the first debate was not what I had 14 .I was so 15 when I went to my seat.I dared not look at the audience and 16 .I shook like a leaf because I felt as if all the people were 17 me.I was so nervous that I nearly forgot what I had to say.My three teammates had the same 18 .We failed in the first debate.

C.someone D.nobody
答案:C此处泛指“某个人”,且在肯定句中,故用someone。
2.A.refused B.disagreed
C.quarreled D.argued
答案:A由该空后作者所说的话可知,她“拒绝”了邀请,故选refused。disagree“不同意”;quarrel“吵架”;argue“争论”。
3.A.laugh B.attention
C.joke D.trick
答案:B由常识可知,害羞、内向的人不喜欢成为大家关注的中心。作者就是这样的一个人。attention“注意,关注”。
4.A.rose B.lifted
C.raised D.took
答案:C作者的害羞使她上课时也不举手回答老师提出的问题。raise one’s hand“举手”。
5.A.frightened B.thought

答案:B由常识可知,参加辩论小组需要在一大群人面前讲话。crowd“一大群人”,符合语境。

C.stay D.survive
答案:D必须克服羞涩才能在这个社会生存下去。survive“生存,存在”;struggle“斗争;拼博”;exist“存在”,多用于指事物;stay“停留”。
9.A.debates B.opportunities
C.friends D.competitions
答案:B面对朋友的极力劝服,作者反思过去,承认自己曾经因为羞涩而失去了很多“机会”,下一句便给出了例子。opportunity“机会”;debate“辩论”;friend“朋友”;competition“竞赛,比赛”。
10.A.future B.intention
C.dream D.purpose

11.A.excited B.nervous
C.shy D.afraid
答案:A作者参加了辨论小组,迈出了战胜胆怯的第一步,肯定会感到“兴奋”,故用excited。nervous“紧张的”;shy“害羞的”;afraid“害怕的”。
12.A.changing B.fighting
C.controlling D.conquering
答案:D此处应填与第二段中“I think you should break out of your shyness”中的break out of“摆脱”意义相近的词,故用conquer“战胜”。
13.A.stayed up B.turned up
C.spent up D.woke up
答案:A为即将到来的辩论做准备,作者熬到深夜。stay up“熬夜”;turn up“调大;出现,露面”;无spend up这一短语;wake up“醒来”。
14.A.wanted B.hoped
C.expected D.dreamed
答案:C上文提到作者为能在辩论会上获胜而熬夜作准备,又由本段末句“We failed in the first debate”可知,第一场辩论并不像作者预料的那样。expect“期盼,预料”。
15.A.shy B.nervous
C.excited D.glad
答案:B首次参加辩论会,作者肯定会很“紧张”,故用nervous。
16.A.students B.teachers
C.friends D.judges
答案:D由常识可知,辩论会现场参辨者要面对的是观众和“裁判”,故选D项。由文章末句也可知答案。
17.A.staring at B.laughing at
C.listening to D.talking about
答案:A作者感觉辩论会上的每一个人似乎都在盯着她看,所以更加紧张了。stare at“盯着看”;laugh at“嘲笑”;listen to“听”;talk about“谈论”。
18.A.thing B.condition
C.problem D.matter
答案:C由作者所在的队失败了可知,她的三个队友也出现了同样的“问题”,都紧张的忘词了,故选problem。thing“事情”;condition“条件”;matter“物质;事情”。
19.A.first of all B.after all
C.above all D.at all
答案:B此处是老师和同学们安慰作者和队友——虽然失败了,但这毕竟是第一次,他们已经做得很好了。after all“毕竟”;first of all“首先”;above all“首先”;at all“完全,根本”。
20.A.paid B.drew
C.caught D.focused
答案:D focus one’s attention on“集中注意力于……”,为固定搭配。
Ⅲ.阅读理解
(2011·大纲全国卷)For those who study the development of intelligence (智力) in the animal world,self awareness is an important measurement. An animal that is aware (意识) of itself has a high level of intelligence.
Awareness can be tested by studying whether the animal recognizes itself in the mirror, that is, its own reflected image (反射出的影像). Many animals fail this exercise bitterly, paying very little attention to the reflected image. Only humans,and some intelligent animals like apes and dolphins,have been shown to recognize that the image in the mirror is of themselves.
Now another animal has joined the club. In the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers report that an Asian elephant has passed the mirror self?reflection test.
“We thought that elephants were the next important animal,”said Diana Reiss of the Wildlife Conservation Society, an author of the study with Joshua M. Plotnik and Fans B. M. de Waal of Emory University. With their large brains, Reiss said, elephants “seemed like cousins to apes and dolphins.”
The researchers tested Happy, Maxine and Patty, three elephants at the Bronx Zoo. They put an 8-foot-square mirror on a wall of the animals’play area (out of the sight of zoo visitors) and recorded what happened with cameras, including one built in the mirror.
The elephants used their long noses to find what was behind it, and to examine parts of their bodies.
Of the three, Happy then passed the test,in which a clear mark was painted on one side of her face. She could tell the mark was there by looking in the mirror, and she used the mirror to touch the mark with her long nose.
Diana Reiss said,“We knew elephants were intelligent, but now we can talk about their intelligence in a better way.”
1.What can mirror tests tell us about animals?
A.Whether they have large brains.
B.Whether they have self-awareness.
C.Whether they enjoy outdoor exercises.
D.Whether they enjoy playing with mirrors.
答案:B细节理解题。由文章第二段第一句话“Awareness can be tested by...”可知B项正确。
2.Why does the author mention apes and dolphins in the text?
A.They are most familiar to readers.
B.They are big favorites with zoo visitors.
C.They are included in the study by Reiss.
D.They are already known to be intelligent.
答案:D推理判断题。由第二段最后一句可知人们已经知道apes和dolphins是聪明的。
3.What made Happy different from Maxine and Patty?
A.She used her nose to search behind the mirror.
B.She recognized her own image in the mirror.
C.She painted a mark on her own face.
D.She found the hidden camera.
答案:B推理判断题。由倒数第二段可推出Happy能辨别出自己在镜子中的形象。

I sat down by the edge of the lake and,pulling 5 my shoes and socks,put my 6 in the water.It was cold,like ice.After a moment,I 7 over and spread some of the 8 on my hot face.I could see myself faintly in the water,staring at 9 like a stranger.?
I realized suddenly how tired I was of 10 away.Surely,I thought,I could live here for a few days,out of 11 of Higgs and his men.While I tried to 12 some plans for the future,I found a tiny cottage on the far side of the lake 13 some smoke coming from its roof.I still had a little money.Perhaps they would give me a 14 and some food.?
As I watched,a man came out of the house and down to a little 15 at the lakeside.He got into it and began to move 16 towards my side.I could hardly see his
17 at first.He continued calmly 18 the lake and,when he was about halfway,he rested his oars and the boat drifted into a patch of sunlight.He 19 a hand in a friendly way of greeting.I was about to raise mine in 20 when ,all at once,I saw his face clearly:it was Higgs!?

答案:C 由于“The place was so far away”,因而没有受到人类的影响。untouched为形容词,意思是“原封未动的,未受影响的”。
4.A.work B.visit C.play D.hide?
答案:D 正是由于较偏远,人类没有影响它,所以是“藏身”的好地方。

10.A.taking B.doing C.keeping D.running?
答案:D 上文提到,到了一偏远的地方,躲藏起来,不让“Higgs and his men”找到,可推断出“我”是“逃离”,故用run away。

答案:A 在这里住几天,就与“Higgs and his men”失去联系。
12.A.do B.get C.make D.take?

14.A.meal B.gun C.boat D.bed?
答案:D meal包含后面的“some food”,所以排除;在“我”逃到远方的时候,“枪”和“船”不是“我急需的”,所需要的应该是休息和食物,所以“bed”合适。
15.A.bike B.boat C.car D.plane?
答案:B 从下句,“He”进去了,又能在水中移动,猜出是“boat”。
16.A.unhurriedly B.unworriedly?

In the eyes of U.S movie theater owners, Sandra Bullock shined as 2009’s top Hollywood star at the box office. 1 the actress nicknamed “America’s Sweetheart”, she scored with audiences after a two-year 2 from screens.
Quigley Publishing Company’s yearly list was 3 on Thursday about top money making stars. It was 4 on a survey of hundreds of theater senior managers, having Bullock 5 such stars as George Clooney and, because of her 6 in “The Proposal” and “The Blind Side”.
Romantic comedy(喜剧) “The Proposal” made $ 315 million at 7 box offices following its June publication, 8 football comedy “Tile Blind Side” has made $ 193 million only in the U. S. and Canada since its November 20 publication, with its roll-out in 9 countries still to come.
Bullock, who also 10 in the 2009 comedy “All About Steve” with its $ 34 million 11 in the U. S. and Canada, is the eighth woman to top Quigley’s list of 12 money making stars, which the 13 has put out each year since 1932.
Quigley Publishing said the list does not rank (排列) stars only on how much 14 their films made, but on what theater owners say about who 15 audiences on their star power 16 .
The last woman to top Quigley’s list was Julia Roberts in 1999. She didn’t 17 Quigley’s 2009 top 10 this year, after her turn in romantic comedy “Duplicity” 18 at the box office.
Bullock scored her first 19 with 1994 action movie “Speed” and became one of Hollywood’s 20 stars,but before “The Proposal” she had not starred in a film since 2007.
1.A.By B.As C.For D.With
答案:B 这里的as是一个介词,因为Bullock也是一个制片人,在本文说的是她是凭借演员的身份获得如此高的身价的。注意nicknamed在这里是过去分词做后置定语。
2.A.appearance B.silence C.absence D.presence
答案:C 文章最后一段最后一句she had not starred in a film since 2007说明她有两年的时间是息影的,也就是离开影坛有两年的时间,注意C和D正好是一组反义词。
3.A.announced B.called C.shouted D.discovered
答案:A 第一段第一句其实就是该公司对这个调查结果的宣布或者公布,所以答案选A。
4.A.focused B.depended C.based D.decided
答案:C 这项调查的名单上的结果是基于对数百个高级剧院经理人的调查得出的,也就是来源于谁,这里的be based on就是其调查基础。
5.A.hit B.won C.shook D.beaten
答案:D 注意beat和defeat的战胜或者打败的对象是人,而非奖项,所以不能用win。
6.A.roles B.actresses C.direction D.appearance
答案:A Bullock是凭借“The Proposal”and“The Blind Side”这两部电影的角色胜出的。我们也可以用performance,但是appearance“出现”不合题意。
7.A.American B.Canadian C.national D.worldwide
答案:D 本空和后半句的only in the U.S and Canada 形成对比,说明“The Proposal”针对全球发行。
8.A.but B.and C.so D.or
答案:B 这是对两部电影的发行情况的先后介绍,两部影片都票房不俗,说明是并列关系。
9.A.others B.else C.other D.another
答案:C 与第4空和前面的only in the U.S. and Canada对应,说明还有待于在更多国家上映。
10.A.starred B.lighted C.found D.received
答案:A 这里的star是作动词,意为“担任主角”,和后半句的数额呼应,说明她的角色的分量。
11.A.performance B.expectation C.income D.popularity
答案:C 本空前的$ 34 million说明了她的收入。也和本文第一段的box office对应。
12.A.high B.bottom C.low D.top
答案:D 与第一段第一句的shined as 2009’s top Hollywood star at the box office呼应。
13.A.film B.company C.theater D.director
答案:B the company指的就是第二段第一句的Quigley Publishing Company。下一段第一句也说到了这个公司。
14.A.laughter B.tear C.cash D.effect
答案:C 文中说到了几次具体的票房收入的数额,但是该公司的调查并不仅基于此,后半句的but也说明了这一点。
15.A.attracts B.defeats C.borrows D.improves
答案:A 既要看票房收入,还要看这些明星的个人影响力,也就是对观众的吸引力,所以答案选A。
16.A.alike B.alive C.alone D.awake
答案:C 评比时看的不仅是参演电影的整体票房,还有演员本身也就是个人的号召力,这里的alone和电影整体形成对比。
17.A.make B.win C.arrive D.manage
答案:A 这里的make意为“成功登上,成功入选”,干扰项是win,注意本空的宾语是Quigley’s 2009 top 10。
18.A.realized B.imagined C.failed D.rose
答案:C 上半句的“She didn’t make Quigley’s 2009 top 10 this year” 说明Julia的这部电影“Duplicity”票房惨淡。
19.A.failure B.flight C.fight D.success
答案:D 本句说的是Bullock获得首次成功的时间和参演电影。
20.A.smallest B.biggest C.hottest D.coolest
答案:B 还有就是这部电影对她产生的影响力,自从这部电影之后她就成为了炙手可热的明星。

7. you helped me, I wouldn’t have made so much progress in my work.
A.Didn’t B.Wouldn’t C.Hadn’t D.Couldn’t
答案:C 本题的状语从句省略了if,这种情况下,可以将从句的助动词提前,采用倒装结构。由题干的后半部分,可以确定陈述的是与过去事实相反的假设,故应用助动词had。
8.It’s time you the problem at the meeting.
A.discuss B.are discussing
C.discussed D.had discussed
答案:C 本句在从句中的动词应用过去式,因为这是属于“It’s time+主语+动词过去式”句型,这种句型表示“该做……了”,是一种虚拟语气。句意为“该是你们在会上讨论这个问题的时候了。”
9.Greatly , the students made up their minds to work harder at English.
A.inspiring B.inspired
C.having inspired D.to inspire
答案:B 主句的主语与inspire之间是逻辑上的被动关系,故用过去分词形式。

13.We live day by day, but in the great things, the time of days and weeks so small that a day is unimportant.
A.is B.are C.has heen D.have been
答案:A 句意为:……几天和几周的时间是如此的渺小,以至于一天根本微不足道。本句用来陈述事实,用一般现在时态;空白处所在句子的主语是the time,谓语应用单数形式。
14. the danger from another attack of earthquake, people had to overcome a shortage of food, drinking water, medicine, clothing, and almost everything.
A.As far as B.As well as C.As bad as D.As much as

17.Nobody believed his reason for being absent from the class he had to meet his uncle in the airport.
A.why B.that C.where D.because
答案:B本题考查同位语从句。句意为:他没来上课,因为他必须到机场接他叔叔,没有人相信这个理由。his reason后接同位语从句,由for being absent from the class隔开。此题易误A。而题干中for being absent from the class已给出reason的结果,因而后面的从句是说明reason的内容,所以不选why,而选that。
18.Their business is plastic.
A.relate to B.in relation to C.related D.in the relation to
答案:B 本句的意思为:他们的生意与塑料有关。使用短语in relation to。
19.What worried them most is that water added to the trouble of getting across the desert.
A.lacks B.lacking C.lack of D.the lack of

Ⅲ.阅读理解
Surprisingly, no one knows how many children receive education in English hospitals,still less the content or quality of that education. Proper records are just not kept. We know that more than 850 000 children go through hospital each year, and that every child of school age has a legal right to continue to receive education while in hospital. We also know there is only one hospital teacher to every 1 000 children in hospital.
Little wonder the latest survey concludes that the extent and type of hospital teaching available differ a great deal across the country. It is found that half the hospitals in England which admit children have no teacher. A further quarter have only a part?time teacher.The special children’s hospitals in major cities do best; general hospitals in the country and holiday areas are worst off. From this survey,one can estimate that fewer than one in five children have some contact with a hospital teacher and that contact may be as little as two hours a day. Most children interviewed were surprised to find a teacher in hospital at all. They had not been prepared for it by parents or their own school. If there was a teacher,they were much more likely to read books and do math or number work;without a teacher they would only play games.
Reasons for hospital teaching range from preventing a child falling behind and maintaining the habit of school to keeping a child occupied,and the latter is of ten all the teacher can do. The position and influence of many teachers was summed up when parents referred to them as“the library lady”or just “the helper”. Children tend to rely on concerned school friends to keep in touch with school work. Several parents spoke of requests for work being ignored or refused by the school. Once back at school children rarely get extrateaching,and are told to catch up as best as they can.
Many short-stay child-patients catch up quickly. But schools do very little to ease the anxiety about falling behind expressed by many of the children interviewed.
1.The author points out at the beginning that .
A.every child in hospital receives some teaching
B.not enough is known about hospital teaching
C.hospital teaching is of poor quality
D.the special children’s hospitals are worst off
答案:B第一段中,作者告诉我们说“没有人知道有多少孩子在医院里能接受到教育,更少有人知道教育的内容和教学质量”,这与选项B“not enough is known about hospital teaching”意思一致。
2.It can be inferred from the latest survey that .
A.hospital teaching across the country is similar
B.each hospital has at least one part?time teacher
C.all hospitals surveyed offer education to children
D.only one fourth of the hospitals have full time teachers.
答案:D短文第二段第二、三句说“It is found that half the hospitals in England which admit children have no teacher.A further quarter have only a part time teacher.”由此可知,一半的医院没有老师,四分之一的医院有兼职老师,那么剩余的四分之一的医院就有全职老师了。
3.Children in hospital usually turn to in order to catch up with their school work.
A.hospital teachers B.schoolmates
C.parents D.school teachers
答案:B由第三段第三句“Children tend to rely on concerned school friends to keep in touch with school work.”可知,他们求助的是同学们。
4.We can conclude from the passage that the author is .
A.unfavorable towards children receiving education in hospitals
B.in favor of the present state of teaching in hospitals
C.unsatisfied with the present state of hospital teaching
D.satisfied with the results of the latest survey
答案:C作者一开头就用surprisingly一词,清楚表达了对医院教育现状的态度。然后通过具体的调查结果,表明了对医院里儿童教学现状的不满。
