A
A year after graduation, I was offered a position teaching a writing class. Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published. I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. "Wait a minute," someone might say. "Are you talking about Mr. Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis fee respectable scholar "
The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two weeks to prepare, a period I spent searching for a briefcase(公文包) and standing before my full-length mirror, repeating the words, "Hello, class. I'm Mr. Davis." Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice. Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr. Davis was there. I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12-year-old boy.
I arrived at the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves. I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students along a long table. I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.
"All right then," I said. "Okay, here we go." Then I opened my briefcase and realised that I had never thought beyond this moment. I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I had imagined that I would sit at the edge of the desk, overlooking a forest of hands. Every student would yell. "Calm down, you'll all get your turn. One at a time, one at a time!"
A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other options, I instructed the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.

I am a taxi driver. One Monday morning, I had stopped at New York Hospital when I found a well-dressed man coming over. He was waving to me. I waited until he jumped into the taxi. "La Guardia Airport, please," he said.
As always, I wondered about my passenger. "What do you do " "I am working at the hospital." For some unknown reason, I decided to ask for his help.
"Could I ask a favor of you " He didn't answer. "I have a son, 16. He's doing well in school. He wants a job this summer. Is there any possibility that you might get him a summer job " After a minute, he said, "The medical students have a research project. Maybe he could fit in. Have him send me his school records." He searched his pocket and handed me a card.
That evening, I pulled the card from my pocket. "Robbie," I said proudly, "This could be a summer job for you. Send him your school records." He read it out loud, "Fred Plum, New York Hospital." "Is this a joke " he said doubtfully. After I shouted and threatened(恐吓) to cut off his pocket money, Robbie promised to send off his grades the next morning.
Two weeks later, when I arrived home, my son handed me a letter from Plum. He was to phone Plum's secretary for an interview.
Robbie got the job. The white coat he wore made him feel more important than he really was. As high school graduation neared, Plum was kind enough to write letters of recommendation(推荐) for universities. At last, Robbie was admitted to New York Medical College.
It never happened to me that a stranger should change my son's future.
1. The author threatened to cut off Robbie's pocket money probably because _________.
A. he was tired after a day's work B. he didn't earn enough money

A. patient and selfless B. generous and careful C. kind and helpful D. wealthy and cruel
3.What message does the passage want to tell us
A.A stranger may change your life. B. One must be friendly to strangers.
C.A father should be responsible for his son. D. Doctors may have a great effect on people.
答案以及解析

1.答案:complicated
解析:句意:黑色星期五背后的真相有点儿复杂。a bit 修饰形容词,故填complicated。
2.答案:on
解析:考查介词。句意:詹姆斯被电话叫去见那个制片人,并当场得到了那份工作。on the spot当场。
3.答案:on
解析:句意:我曾希望他能阐明这个问题。Throw light on sth为固定搭配,译为"阐述;说明"。故填:on。
4.答案:whispering
解析:句意:我听见爸爸妈妈低声说着"没有希望"、"可怜"、"快死了"。hear sb doing听到某人正在做某事。故填:whispering。
5.答案:whispering
解析:考查非谓语动词,句意:我看到她在他耳边窃窃私语,显然不想被听到。宾语her和动词whisper是主动关系,结合短语see sb. doing sth.,意为“看见某人正在干某事”,用现在分词作宾语补足语。故填whispering.
