“There's Always a John” By Darla Boyd

My first year of teaching, there was a kid named John in my cl

ass. John was difficult to control and he nearly drove me craz

y. While talking about him one day, an old teacher put his han

d on my shoulder and said, “There will always be a John. You

r job is to learn to discover what makes him different and help

him succeed.” The next year, there was indeed another John.

But that advice taught me that there is something to appreciat

e in everyone.

“An Early Key Lesson” By Elaine West

Before I began my first teaching job, my mother, a teacher of

30 years, gave me a very special gift, five simple words that h

ave had an effect on my entire life. “Make friends with the janit

or(门

卫)．” Her wisdom taught me the respect for all types of chara

cters and continues to enrich my life to this day. Just five little

words but what an impact they can have when you take them

to heart.

“Raising Mommy” By Jan Davis

Being a mother can always present challenges and rewards.

Someone told me early that children will teach you everything

you need to know. Being a mother is being raised. Our childre

n become our advisers. Their dreams become our professors,

as we are taking notes carefully. The sounds of their laughter

and smiles are a great reward to us. Their tears remind us th

at it is okey to fail, and that we should wipe the tears away an

d try again.

B

Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Th

roughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The s

ea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel

to many parts of the world. Today, nearly two–

thirds of the world's population lives within 80 kilometers of th

e sea coast.

In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resour

ces to help mankind survive. Resources on land are beginnin

g to be used up. The sea, however, still can be expected to su

pply many of man's needs.

The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man's tech

nology is impressive. Oil and gas explorations have been carri

ed out for nearly 30 years. Valuable amounts of minerals exist

ing on the ocean floor are ready to be developed.

Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large qua

ntities of food. The culture of fish and shellfish is an ancient sk

ill practiced in the past mainly by eastern people.

Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy

. Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can

be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean c

urrents and waves offer possible use as a source of energy.

Technology is enabling man to explore ever more deeply und

er the sea. The development of strong, new materials has ma

de this possible.

The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Expe

rts believe that by the year 2020 the problems that prevent us

from exploiting fully the food, minerals, and energy sources of

the sea will be largely solved.

Ⅱ.语法填空

(状元桥改编)Members of the post–

1990 generation looking for work apply for multiple positions a

nd hold high expectations of the jobs. They are particular abo

ut employment and it was common for them break(break)

appointments for job interviews.

The only child is characteristic of the most of the families sinc

e 1990. His or her living condition has y(great) improv

ed from that of the post–1980 and post–

1970 generations. They don't experience much pressure in lif

e so they pay closer attention to al(person) preferenc

es and interests when g(hunt) for a job.

They do not care about the amount of money they make.

stead, the working environment, the happiness they get from t

heir work and respect from others are the first three things 6.t

hat matter most.

As the saying goes, second ts(think) are the best. Th

e post–

1990 generation does not think twice about leaving in their firs

t year of work. If they lose interest in a job or are not clear abo

ut their future career path, they quit(quit) easily.

Members of the generation are also more self–

centered. They want more time for lves(they) and ar

e not willing to work overtime. Their attitude to life is more cas

ual.

This generation is very sensitive and has a lot of self–

respect, the employers need to be concerned about thei

r temperaments(性情) and ways of communication.

语篇导读 本文为说明文，介绍了中国当下的“90后”找工作时

所秉承的原则和态度，以及产生这种价值观的原因。

1．to break 解析 考查非谓语动词。

it is/was common for sb to do sth某人做某事是常见的，为固

定句式。

2．greatly 解析 考查词性转换。修饰动词improved应用副

词，greatly极大地。

3．personal 解析 考查词性转换。修饰名词preferences和

interests应用形容词。

4．hunting 解析 考查省略。分析句子结构可知，本句为时间

状语从句。在时间和条件状语从句中，当从句主语和主句主语

一致，且从句中含有be时，从句常省略主语和be。此处完整

形式为“...when they are hunting for a job”。

5．Instead 解析 考查副词。空前讲“他们不在意能赚多少

钱”，空后讲“工作环境、从工作中获得的幸福感和来自别人的

尊重最重要”。前后有语义上的转折关系，且更偏重于“反而，
