Question

Fifteen years spent in the field of education has provided me with many treasured moments. One of the most unforgettable moments 1     when I was teaching second 2     10 years ago.

In May I decided to plan something special for the children：a Mother' s Day tea party. We had put our heads together to 3     ideas of how to 4      our mothers. We practiced singing songs,memorized poems and wrote cards. We decided to hold our tea party the Friday before Mother's Day. I was surprised but 5     to learn that every mother was planning to attend. I 6     invited my own mother.

Finally，the big day arrived. Each child 7      up at our classroom door，expecting the arrival of his or her mom. 8      it got closer to starting time,I looked around and my eyes quickly found Jimmy. His mother hadn' t shown up and he was looking 9      .

I took my mother by the hand and walked over to Jimmy. "Jimmy," I said, "I have a bit of

problem here and I was 10      if you could keep my mother 11     while I, m busy?”

My mom and Jimmy sat at a table. Jimmy 12      my mom her treats，presented her with the gift I had made，just as we had 13      the day before. Whenever I looked over，my mother and Jim?my were in deep 14      .

Now 10 years later, I work with students of all ages,educating them about the environment. Last year，I took a senior class on a field trip，and there was Jimmy. I had the students complete an outline of the day' s 15      and an evaluation of our trip. Then I collected the students' booklets and checked them to see if 16      was completed. When I came 17      Jimmy, s page，he had written "Remember our Mother's Day tea party we had in second grade, Mrs. Marra? I do!Thanks for all you did for me，and thank your mother,too."

I told him I really enjoyed what he had written. He looked rather embarrassed and 18      his own thanks and walked away. Suddenly he ran back and gave me a big hug. "Thanks again. No one even knew my mother didn，t 19      it."

I ended my workday with a hug from a teenage boy who had 20      stopped hugging teachers years ago.

Answer 1

从教十五栽给作者留下许多精彩瞬间。十年前，在母亲节前的一个星期五，作者给所教二年级学生的家长们举办了一个母亲节茶会。茶会上学生Jimmy的母亲未到，这让他很是沮丧。身为老师的作者立即将自己的母亲托付给他让他帮忙接待。十年之后，当作者带着Jimmy所在的高年级班学生野外旅行时，Jimmy在其野外旅行作业中表达了对十年前母亲节茶会上因自己的母亲未到而陷入窘境时老师的"救急"行为的感激之情。字里行间，作者流露出了对作为教师的工作经历的满意之情。

1. B从首句谈到从教十五载给作者留下许多精彩瞬间的引入可知，作者接下来要介绍她所经历的事。所以，最难忘的事情应是"发生"在十年前。

2. C从第二个经历讲到的同一个学生可知，十年前作者是在教二"年级"。

3. D"将脑袋凑到一块儿"肯定是"想(办法)"。

4. B第二段首句表明举办这些活动是为了庆祝母亲节。而举行的这些活动只是为了让母亲们高兴而已。"爱"、"尊敬"和"崇敬"应是在平时的生活中体现出来。

5. C当了解到所有的母亲都准备来参加茶会的情况后，作者感到既惊讶又"宽慰"。

6. A当了解到所有的学生母亲都准备要来时，作者"甚至"也向自己的母亲发出了邀请。even此处表递进关系。

7. D既然是庆祝母亲节，孩子们就有相关的仪式。孩子"排列"在教室门口迎接母亲们的到来。

8. A从下文主句可知，作者留意到Jimmy是在仪式临近开始之时。while后应接延续性动词。

9. D本来是所有母亲都要来的，可Jimmy的母亲却没有露面，这无疑让Jimmy"不安"。另一方面，作者将自己的母亲委托给Jimmy接待只能是当她看到Jimmy独自一人显得"沮丧"时所采取的行动。

10. B I'm wondering if...是表请求的委婉说法。

11. C keep sb. company陪伴某人。

12. A serve sb. sth.用某物款待某人。supply sb. with sth.为某人提供某物。另两项词义不符该语境。

13. C按前一天"练习"的那样招待母亲。

14. D in deep conversation在深入交谈之中。

15. C从名词所有格的使用来看，此处只能是指那天的"活动/事件"。

16. B老师将学生的作业收起来检查看他们是否完成了每一项内容。

17. B come to来到，到达。此处表"检查到"的意思。

18. D由前面"he looked rather embarrassed"的表述可知，他"悄悄地表达了"他的谢意。

19. A make it是一个习语，表"做到了 "、"成功了 " 等意思。此处表"来了"之意。

20. A从Jimmy的激动之举来看，作者认为Jimmy "可能"已经好久没有同老师拥抱了。B项太绝对；C和D项词义不符合语境。
