essays, and many other literary wonders from the eighteenth century and made them hilarious, even at eight oclock in the morning. the thing that amazed me most was that the first time i read these works on my own some of them seemed dead, but the second time, after his explanation, i couldnt believe that i hadnt seen the humor. the stories and poems andplays were suddenly filled with allusions(典故) and irony(讽刺) and hilariousmoments. i learned more from him than from any other teacher.my least favorite english teacher also made people laugh. some students found him to be wonderfully funny. many others did not. he assigned journals over a six week period, to be written in every day. at the end of the six weeks i had a notebook full of bits and pieces about my ideas, short stories, reactions to what we had read, and so on. our teacher announced that we would be grading each others journals. mine was passed to joe, that class clown, who always behaved in a funny or silly way. he saw it fit to make joke of and said, “this writing isnt fit to line the bottom of a birdcage.” our teacher laughed at that funny remark. it hurt me so much that the anger from it has driven my writing and teaching ever since.so what makes the difference? humor is one of the most powerful tools teachers or writers have. it can build up students and classes and make them excited about literature and writing, or it can tear them apart. it is true that humor is either productive or counter-productive and self-defeating.5. the passage mainly discusses _.a. teachingb. literaturec. humord. knowledge6. the underlined word “hilarious” in paragraph 1 probably means _.a. funnyb. tiringc. inspiringd. brilliant7. with his favorite english teacher, the writer found it most amazing that _.a. his teacher was very learnedb. his teacher was very humorousc. the works by johnson and addison were very humorousd. few were able to find humor in works by johnson and others8. the english teacher the writer disliked most _.a. was not able to make students laughb. hurt his students feelingsc. didnt let his students do the gradingd. had no sense of humorchunger is the greatest motive for the inexperienced cook. but many people are now worried that we are producing a generation without the slightest idea of how to cooka generation that is frightened to cook. i have just received a handout from focus on food, which is running a competition to get children back into the kitchen. i decided to ask my oldest daughter, miranda, for her opinion. are children learning enough about the importance of good cooking? do they know cooking is a basic life skill? sociology and other “new” subjects are all very well, but without the ability to cook, or to understand the pleasure and principles of good food and its relationship to good health, are we really preparing them for adult life?miranda started her cooking at the age of nine, when she decided to enter the sainsburys future cook competition. she was motivated by a different kind of greed: the first prizea trip to disney world.the problem, from the parental point of view, was that if she made it through to the regional(区域性的) finals, she would have to cook her meal in front of the judges. some 30,000 children entered and she made it through as the youngest regional finalist. now she had to learn to cook. her hands were not even big enough to hold the knife and slice the onions. six saturdays running we ate the same lunchmozzarella meatballs in fresh tomato juice and blueberry.first, she cooked by my side, then alone with timings and instructions. finally, she went alone against the clock. the kitchen looked like a battlefield, but she had gained victory. the tiny be-capped figure then stood in an unknown bristol hotel, looking like a professional who had been at the stove for years. she didnt win, but she came home with 50 and the most valuable part of them all: confidence.9. the competition run by focus on food is intended for _. a. children b. parents c. teachers d. chefs 10. why does the writer think cooking is so important?a. it is an easy way to keep healthy. b. it helps develop relationships.c. it is a necessary skill for life. d. it can save a lot of money.11. the writers family had the same lunch on six saturdays because _. a. the family stuck to healthy food b. miranda had to practice cookingc. the dish was the familys only food d. the dish was mirandas favorite meal12. what did miranda gain from the competition?a. a trip to disney world. b. support from friends.c. a medal for the winner.d. belief in herself.d“never talk to strangers.” many children are taught this simple rule as a precaution（预防措施） against abduction(诱拐). in june, 2005, an 11-year-old boy was lost in the utah wilderness for four days. during that time, he stayed on the path. he saw people searching for him but deliberately hid from them, afraid someone might “steal” him. eventually, the unfortunate game of hide-and-seek ended and he was found. according to the canada safety council, this alarming incident shows how unwise it is to instill(灌输) a fear of strangers in children. the “stranger danger” message can prevent children from developing the social skills and judgment needed to deal effectively with real-life situations. in a difficult situation, a stranger could be their lifeline to safety.to have a child go missing is a parents worst nightmare. the threat of abduction by a stranger is minimal when compared with other possible reasons for a disappearance. in 2004, there were 67,266 missing-children cases in canada. only 31 involved abduction; in most of those cases the abductor was a relative, friend, or person known to the family. there were 671 cases of children wandering off, and 332 cases of abductions by a parent. almost 80 percent of all cases were runaways. these statistics cast doubt on the idea that children should never talk to strangers. wandering off is more commonbut a lost children may have to call upon a stranger for help, and must develop the ability to judge what kind of people to approach. the “never talk to strangers” rule does not protect children in the situations they are most likely to face. on top of this, it can be confusing. adults do not model the behavior; they often talk to strangers. a child may not know how to tell who is a stranger, and who is not.for young children, nothing replaces close supervision(监管). pre-schoolers do not understand risk and tend to act without thinking. children need to develop habits and attitudes that will protect them from the real threats and dangers they may face. the canada safety council encourages parents to give their children age-appropriate positive messages about safety, bearing in mind how youngsters may understand their world.13. which of the following statements is not true about the 11-year-old boy? a. he practiced the “never talk to strangers” rule. b. he hid from the rescuers to avoid possible abduction. c. he finally showed up when his hide-and-seek game ended. d. he stayed where he was, expecting the coming of familiar people.14. among the possible reasons for the missing-children cases in canada, which one is the most frequent?a. being abducted by a parent. b. wandering off.c. being abducted by strangers.d. running away.15. the “never talk to strangers” rule is confusing to children because _.a. a friendly and attractive person may be dangerousb. adults do not act upon the rule and strangers are hard to tellc. the rule does not protect children in the situation of abductingd. a lost child may have difficulty in communicating with a stranger第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。ice skating is one of the best
