Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2016·沈阳市高三质检)I
have
been
teaching
animal
behavior
at
the
Boulder
County
Jail
in
Colorado
for
10
years.
The
course
is
one
of
the
most
popular
in
the
prison.
Prisoners
have
to
earn
the
right
to
attend
the
course
and
they
work
hard
to
get
in.
One
reason
why
the
course
is
so
popular
is
that
many
prisoners
find
it
easier
to
connect
with
animals
than
with
people,
because
animals
don't
judge
them.
They
trust
animals
in
ways
they
don't
with
humans.
Yet,
they
hold
a
misunderstanding
of
how
animals
treat
one
another.
Many
admit
that
their
own
“animal
behavior”
is
what
got
them
into
trouble
in
the
first
place.
I
teach
that
though
there
is
competition
and
aggression
in
the
animal
kingdom,
there
is
also
a
lot
of
cooperation
(合作)
and
sympathy.
Many
of
the
students
want
to
build
healthy
relationships,
and
they
find
that
the
class
helps
them.
I
use
examples
of
the
social
behavior
of
group living
animals
such
as
wolves
as
a
model
for
developing
and
maintaining
(维持)
friendships
among
people
who
must
work
together
for
their
own
good
and
also
for
the
good
of
the
group.
It's
clear
that
science
inspires
the
students
here
and
it
also
gives
them
hope.
I
know
some
students
have
gone
back
into
education
after
their
being
set
free
while
others
have
gone
to
work
for
humane
(人道的)
societies
or
contributed
time
and
money
to
conservation
organizations.
One
went
on
to
receive
a
master's
degree
in
nature
writing.
Science
and
humane
education
help
the
prisoners
connect
with
values
that
they
otherwise
would
not
have
done.
It
opens
the
door
to
understanding,
trust,
cooperation
and
hope.
There's
a
large
population
of
people
to
whom
science
could
mean
a
lot,
if
only
they
could
have
access
to
it.
The
class
helps
me,
too.
I
get
as
much
out
of
it
as
the
students
and
it
has
made
me
a
better
teacher.

(2016·银川一中高三模拟)She
was

However,
Miss

was
a(n)
__1__presence
in
the
classroom.
From
1938
to
1942，when
I
attended
Saint
Bernard's
High
School,
she
taught
me
a
lot
__2__
I
realized.
There
was
never
a(n)__3__
problem
in
Miss
Bessie's
classes.
We
didn't
dare
to
trouble
a
woman
who
knew
about
the
Battle
of
Hastings
and
could
also
play
the
piano
and
__4__
Shakespeare
and
Milton.
Miss
Bessie
knew
that
my
family
couldn't
afford
to
buy
a
newspaper.
She
knew
we
didn't
__5__
own
a
radio.
Still,
she
__6__
me
to
look
out
for
my
__7__
and
find
some
ways
to
__8__
what's
going
on
in
the
world.
__9__
I
became
a
delivery
boy
who
delivered
newspapers.
I
__10__
made
a
dollar
a
week,
but
I
got
to
read
a
newspaper
every
day.
Miss
Bessie
noticed
things
that
had
nothing
to
do
with
schoolwork
but
were
vital
to
a
youngster's
__11__.
Once
a
few
classmates
made
fun
of
my
__12__
overcoat.
As
I
was
leaving
school,
Miss
Bessie
__13__
me
on
the
back
of
that
old
overcoat
and
said,
“Carl,
never
worry
about
what
you
don't
have.
Just
make
the
most
of
what
you
do
have
—
a(n)
__14__”．
Among
the
things
that
I
didn't
have
was
__15__
in
the
little
wooden
house.
But
because
of
her
__16__，
I
spent
many
hours
beside
a
kerosene
lamp
(煤油灯)
reading
Shakespeare's
works.
Miss
Bessie
introduced
me
__17__
a
wonderful
world
of
poems
and
stories.
She
led
me
to
__18__
that
I
could
write
poems
as
well
as
Shakespeare.
So
I
read
__19__
Miss
Bessie
told
me
to,
and
tried
to
remember
the
things
she
insisted
that
I
store.
Years
later,
her
encouragement
finally
led
to
that
lovely
day
when
Miss
Bessie
dropped
me
a
note
__20__
“I'm
so
proud
to
read
your
article
in
The
Times.”

kerosene
lamp
(煤油灯)”可知，此处应选B项。
16．A.inspiration

Still,
she

__9__
I

Miss

but
were
vital

Once
a

As
I
was
leaving

Miss

__13__
me
on
the

that
old
overcoat
and
said,
“Carl,
never

Just

reading
Shakespeare's

Miss
Bessie
introduced

So
I
read
__19__
Miss
Bessie
told
me
to,
and
tried
to
remember
the
things
she
insisted
that
I
store.
Years
later,
her
encouragement
finally
led
to
that
lovely
day
when
Miss
Bessie
dropped
me
a
note

“I'm
so
proud
to
read
your
article
in
