Question

My job was to make classroom observations and encourage a training program that would enable students to feel good about themselves and take charge of their lives. Donna was one of the volunteer teachers who participated in this ? ? ? .

One day, I entered Donna’s classroom, took a seat in the back of the room and ? ? ? . All the students were working ? ? ? a task. The student next to me was filling her page with “I Can’ts.” “I can’t kick the soccer ball.” “I can’t get Debbie to like me.” Her page was half full and she showed no ? ? ? of stopping. I walked down the row and found ? ? ? was writing sentences, describing things they couldn’t do.

By this time the activity aroused my ? ? ? , so I decided to check with the teacher to see what was going on ? ? ? I noticed she too was busy writing. “I can’t get John’s mother to come for a parents’ meeting.” I felt it best not to ? ? ? .

After another ten minutes, the students were ? ? ? to fold the papers in half and bring them to the front. They placed their “I Can’t” statements into an empty shoebox. Then Donna? ? ? hers. She put the lid on the box, tucked it under her arm and headed out the door. Students followed the teacher. I followed the students. Halfway down the hallway Donna got a shovel from the tool house, and then marched the students to the farthest corner of the playground. There they began to ? ? ? . The box of “I Can’ts” was placed at the ? ? ? of the hole and then quickly covered with dirt. At this point Donna announced, “Boys and girls, please join hands and ? ? ? your heads.” They quickly formed a circle around the grave.

Donna delivered the eulogy (悼詞). “Friends, we gathered here today to ? ? ? the memory of ‘I Can’t.’ He is ? ? ? by his brothers and sisters ‘I Can’ and ‘I Will’. May ‘I Can’t’ rest in ? ? ? . Amen!”

She turned the students ? ? ? and marched them back into the classroom. They celebrated the ? ? ? of “I Can’t”. Donna cut a large tombstone from paper. She wrote the words “I Can’t” at the top and the date at the bottom, then hung it in the classroom. On those rare occasions when a student ? ? ? and said, “I Can’t,” Donna ? ? ? pointed to the paper tombstone. The student then remembered that “I Can’t” was dead and chose other statement.???

【解析】

試題分析：本文通過作者參加的一個鼓勵學生對自己有信心的項目告訴我們：要把自己不能做到的事情埋到地下，我們就會對自己有信心，就可以做到很多自己不能做到的事情的。

1.B 名詞辨析。A工作；B計劃，安排；C觀察；D課程，事業；根據前一句My job was to make classroom observations

and encourage a training program可知我的工作就是推廣這樣的一個讓孩子對自己有信心的計劃。

2.C 動詞辨析。A檢查，核對；B注意到；C觀察；D等待；根據第一句My job was to make classroom observations可知我的工作就是進行課堂觀察，這次我來頂了Donna的課堂上來觀察她是如何鼓勵學生的。故使用watch表示長時間地看。

3.A 固定搭配。Work on從事于；在她的課堂上所有的學生都在從事于一個任務：在紙上寫下自己不能做的事情。

4.D 名詞辨析。A風景；B感覺；C痕跡；D跡象；這個孩子已經寫了半張紙的“I can’t”，但是還是沒有停止的跡象。說明孩子們對自己的信心不足，認為自己有很多不能做到的事情。

5.C 代詞辨析。因為這是老師所布置的任務，所以每個人都在寫一些句子描述自己不能做到的事情。

6.A 名詞辨析。A好奇；B懷疑；C同情；D擔憂；我發現的學生都在寫自己不能做到的事情，這樣的安排引起了我的好奇心。

7.C 連詞辨析。我本來想和老師一起來看看會發生什么樣的事情，但是我沒有想到的是，老師也在紙上寫她不能做到的事情。上下文之間存在著轉折的關系。故使用but表示轉折。

8.B 動詞辨析。A插入；B打斷；打擾；C談話；交談；D請求；Donna所寫的是：我無法讓John的媽媽來參加家長會；沒有被別人打斷，是我感覺最好的時候。因為Donna是老師，在上課的時候，不喜歡被打斷。

9.D 動詞辨析。A教育；B展示；C強迫；D指導；要求；又過了10分鐘，所有的學生背要求把那張紙折疊交到前面。所有的學生都把那張紙放在一個空的盒子里。

10.A 動詞辨析。A增加，加入；B寫；C生成，制作；D折疊；Donna老師把自己的那張紙也放進了這個盒子里。

11.C 動詞辨析。A哭泣；B祈禱；C挖；D玩耍；根據上一句Donna got a shovel from the tool house可知她拿出了一個鏟子，準備把學生所寫的這些不能做到的事情都埋掉。故C正確。

12.B 名詞辨析。A北面；B下面，底端；C頂端；D邊緣；這個盒子被放在了洞的最下面，然后很快就被埋掉了。

13.A 上下文串聯。根據下一段第一句Donna delivered the eulogy (悼詞)說明老師在悼念這些被埋掉的東西，所以學生要低下頭，就好像是在葬禮上一樣。

14.D 動詞辨析。A保持；B感謝；C原諒；D紀念；這是老師的悼詞：朋友們，我們聚在一起來紀念“I can’t”。“I can’t”已經被“I can”所取代。永遠都生活在回憶之中，不會再回來了。

15.D 動詞辨析。A記得；B懲罰；C去除；D取代；這是老師的悼詞：朋友們，我們聚在一起來紀念“I can’t”。“I can’t”已經被“I can”所取代。

16.C 名詞辨析。A安靜；B心靈；C和平，安寧；D記憶；本句表示這些不能做到的事情都永遠地存在于回憶之中，不會再回來了。

17.D 固定搭配。Turn down拒絕，調低；turn up出現，調高；turn off關閉；turn around使…轉身；老師讓學生們轉身朝教室走過去。

18.B 名詞辨析。A出生；B過去；C損失，失去；D開始；他們一起慶祝“I Can’t”的過去。希望以后再也沒有這樣不能做到的事情了。

19.C 動詞辨析。A喚醒；B提醒；C忘記；D道歉；如果在這個時候，有學生忘記了自己已經把“I Can’t”埋掉的時候，老師會指著paper tombstone，告訴他們“I Can’t”已經死掉了，我們沒有什么不能做到的了。

20.A 副詞辨析。A僅僅，只是；B幾乎不；C嚴肅地；D生氣地；當學生說自己不能做某件事情的時候，老師只是指著paper tombstone，告訴他們“I Can’t”已經死掉了，我們沒有什么不能做到的了。
