【分析】这是一篇应用文。本文介绍了四个一日游项目，包括参观景点、费用等细节信息。

【1题详解】

细节理解题。根据 Tour B 中的 Oxford: Includes a guided tour of England’s oldest university

city and colleges 可知，Tour B 中包括英国历史最悠久的大学城和学院，故选 B。

【2题详解】

细节理解题。比较四个一日游中的 17 March 这一天的价格可知，Tour D 中的 Cambridge 中

的￡33 最便宜，故选 D。该题容易误选 B项，但根据 Tour B - Oxford & Stratford including

entrance fees to the University St Mary’s Church Tower and Anne Hathaway’s -￡32 until 12

March and ￡36 thereafter.可知，12 号之前是￡32，之后是￡36。所以不选 B项。

【3题详解】

推理判断题。根据 Tour C 中的 With 500 years of history, Hampton Court was once the home of

four Kings and one Queen 可知，汉普顿宫曾是 4个国王和一个女王的家，有着 500 多年的历

史，也就是皇室的家，故选 A。

For Canaan Elementary’s second grade in Patchogue, N.Y., today is speech day, and right

now it’s Chris Palaez’s turn. The 8-year-old is the joker of the class. With shining dark eyes, he

seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy public speaking.

But he’s nervous. “I’m here to tell you today why you should … should…” Chris trips on the

“-ld,” a pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers. His teacher, Thomas

Whaley, is next to him, whispering support. “…Vote for …me …” Except for some stumbles,

Chris is doing amazingly well. When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion, Whaley invites the

rest of the class to praise him.

A son of immigrants, Chris stared learning English a little over three years ago. Whaley

recalls(回想起) how at the beginning of the year, when called upon to read, Chris would excuse

himself to go to the bathroom.

Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience. What you need is a great

teacher who lets you make mistakes. “It takes a lot for any student,” Whaley explains,

“especially for a student who is learning English as their new language, to feel confident enough

to say, ‘I don’t know, but I want to know.’”

Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the

children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president. The answer

broke his heart. Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in

public. He wants these kids to learn to boast(夸耀) about themselves.

“Boasting about yourself, and your best qualities,” Whaley says, “is very difficult for a

child who came into the classroom not feeling confident.”

4. What made Chris nervous?

A. Telling a story. B. Making a speech.

C. Taking a test D. Answering a question.

5. What does the underlined word “stumbles” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A. Improper pauses. B. Bad manners. C. Spelling mistakes. D. Silly

jokes.

6. We can infer that the purpose of Whaley’s project is to _________.

A. help students see their own strengths

B. assess students’ public speaking skills

C. prepare students for their future jobs

D. inspire students’ love for politics

7. Which of the following best describes Whaley as a teacher?

A. Humorous. B. Ambitious. C. Caring. D.

Demanding.

【答案】4. B 5. A 6. A 7. C

【解析】

【分析】本文属于记叙文。文章讲述了纽约一所小学二年级的老师树立信心，看到自己的

优点，发起一项总统竞选演讲活动。

【4题详解】

细节理解题。根据第一段 today is speech day 和本段最后一句 with shining dark eyes, he

seems like the kind of kids who would enjoy public speaking. 以及第二段第一句 But he’s

nervous.可知，Chris 眼睛黑亮，似乎是那种喜欢公共演讲的孩子，但是他却很紧张，故可

知Chris 是因为做演讲紧张，故选 B。

【5题详解】

词义猜测题。根据第二段“I’m here to tell you today why you should … should…” Chris trips

on the “-ld,” a pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers.以及后文 except for

some stumbles, Chris is doing amazingly well.可知，Chris 发ld 比较困难，这对于英语不是母

语的学习者来说都是一个困难，总体来说 Chris 做得出奇的好。根据前文可知，ld 发音困难，

故推知是有些结巴，停顿不准确，故选 A。

【6题详解】

推理判断题。根据倒数第二段 Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read

and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast about themselves. 以及最后一段

“Boasting about yourself, and your best qualities,” Whaley says, “is very difficult for a child

who came into the classroom not feeling confident.”可知，这个课程不仅仅教孩子阅读以及公

共演讲，还要让孩子学会夸耀自己，而夸耀自己对于那些进入教室没有信心的学生来说很

困难，故可知 Whaley 老师这么做是为了帮助学生认识自己的优势，培养自信，故选 A。

【7题详解】

推理判断题。根据倒数第二段 Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign
