My father gave me strong and earnest counsel against it, but with little effect. One day, being at Hull, I met a school-f

27、ellow who was about to sail for London in his father's ship, and he prompted me to go with him, and in an evil hour, without asking God's blessing or my father's, I went on board.On the way to London, a storm arose, the ship was wrecked, and we barely escaped with our lives. I went on fo

28、ot to London, where I met with the master of a vessel which traded to the coast of Africa.

Su

29、ddenly we struck a bank of sand, and the sea broke over the ship in such a way that we could not hope to have her hold many moments without breaking into pieces. In this distress we launched a boat. After we had been driven four or five miles, a raging wave struck us so furiously that it overset the

30、 boat at once. Though I swam well the waves were so strong that I was dashed against a rock with such force that it left me senseless.

When their kids ask them what they do at work, they can give a simp1e direct answer: “I put out fires” or” “I fix sick peop1e” or” “I teach primary schoo1”. As a theoretica1 physicist, I

35、never had this 1uck . Society has come to expect many things from the physicist. 1t used to be that me on1y bad to discover the basic 1aws of the wor1d and supp1y the techniques that wou1d power the next of things we think we know how to do. What makes us uncomfortab1e-and what makes it hard for us

36、to te11 our kids what we re up to-is that in this century we have become, though unwi11ing1y, gurus on questions such as “what is the nature of Rea1ity (现实) ?” We now deal with a whole new c1ass of prod1ems .We ask how the wor1d began and what is the nature4 of matter. The answers we are coming up w

37、ith are just not easy to comprehend for the average person. So, when physicists get out of their cars in the morning, have a cup of coffee and sit down in front of their computers, they 1eave a fami1iar wor1d and enter a p1ace where things act in of strange ways that are impossid1e for ordinary peop

38、1e to understand.6.According to the passage, in a way physicists areA. intel1igent B. comfortad1e C. strange D. un1ucky7.

42、p1e.C. A person with average inte11igence can not do it. D. Both A and B. 答案：1.B 2.A 3.D 4.C 5.B 6.D 7.A 8.B 9.B 10.BPassage oneA couple of years ago I spent the day at an elementary school in New Jersey. It was a nice average school, a square and solid building, full of reasonably well-behaved kids

43、 from middle-class families. I handled three classes, and by the time I staggered out the door I wanted to lie down for the rest of the day. Teachings the toughest job there is. In his new memoir, “Teacher Man,” Frank McCourt recalls telling his students, “Teaching is harder than working on docks an

44、d warehouses. ” Not to mention writing a column. I can stare off into the middle distance with my chin (下巴) in my hand any time. But you go mentally south for five minutes in front of a class of fifth graders, and you are sunk. The average new teacher today makes just under $30,000 a year, which may

45、 not look too bad for a twenty-something with no mortgage (抵押贷款) and no kids. But soon enough the new teachers realize that they can make more money and not work anywhere near as hard elsewhere. After a lifetime of hearing the old legends about cushy (舒适安逸的) hours and summer vacations, they figure o

46、ut that early mornings are for students who need extra help, evenings are for test corrections and lesson plans, and weekends and summers are for second and even third jobs to try to pay the bills. According to the Department of Education, one in every five teachers leaves after the first year, and

47、almost twice as many leave within three. If any business had that rate of turnover, someone would do something smart and strategic to fix it. This isnt any business. Its the most important business around, the gardeners of the landscape of the human race.Unfortunately, the current way of dealing wit

48、h problems in education is taken directly from business practice, and its a terrible fit. Instead of simply acknowledging that starting salaries are woefully low and committing to increasing them and finding the money for reasonable recurring raises, politicians have wasted decades talking about som

49、ething called merit pay (奖励工资). Its a concept that works fine if you're making toys, but kids arent toys, and good teaching isnt an assembly line.1. What can we infer from the first paragraph about teachers?A. They have to teach three classes at a time.B. They have a very rewarding job.C. They p

50、refer to teach children from middle-class families.D. They have a very hard job to do.2. Why does the author say teaching is tougher than writing a column?A.

51、 chance to go traveling.3. What do new teachers find out after some practice?A. Their starting salary is lower than offered by other occupations.B. They have to work during vacations to make ends meet.C. They have to plan their time well to get everything done.D. They can take a second or even a thi

52、rd job besides teaching.4. We can infer from the fourth paragraph that the author thinks _.A. measures should be taken to keep teachers in their jobsB. the rate of turnover in teaching is low compared to other occupationsC. its natural for a number of teachers to quit in three to five yearsD. its fa

53、ir to call teachers the gardeners of the landscape of the human race5. What does the author think of merit pay?A. It will make up for teachers low starting salaries.B. It will bring down the turnover rate of teachers.C. It is a good fix for current educational problems.D. It is not suitable for the

54、teaching profession.Passage twoIm coming off this plane, and landing at London airport. Im looking around for a middle-aged woman, my Aunt Penn, who Ive seen in pictures. The photographs are out of date, but she looked like the type who would wear a big necklace (项链) and flat shoes, and maybe some k

55、ind of narrow dress in black or gray. But I'm just guessing since the pictures only showed her face. Anyway, Im looking and looking and everyones leaving and theres no signal on my phone and I'm thinking, “Oh great, I'm going to be abandoned at the airport so that's two countries they don't want me in,” when I notice everyones gone except this kid who comes up to me and says, “You must
