UNIT 1 课时跟踪检测（一） 阅读理解专项练

UNIT 1 课时跟踪检测（一） 阅读理解专项练 Ⅰ.阅读理解AWhen I was six or seven, I could not understand the units. My parents got me a teacher, Jacky Ralfs, to give me private lessons. He started off trying the classic way of two plus two, but instead of shaking his head when I did not understand, he would try a different method. I remember him drawing little bags containing apples with three in one and four in another to explain. I understood when the sum was shown in practical terms. The other thing that impressed me was that Jacky was exciting and fun. I don't think teachers realize what an influence they have on children by their own personality. He dressed as he thought a teacher should look if he had been playing the part on stage. He was good company. As well as me in maths. I remembered him reading me books. The most important thing Jacky taught me was dogged determination. We had a swing ball in the garden and I was not very good at hitting the thing, but he encouraged me to keep on trying over and over again until I got the hang of it. In my last year at school, I decided I had better do some work. I had long since been banned (禁止) from the Afrikaans (one of the official languages of South Africa) class, but found I could not get my matric (大学入学许可) without passing Afrikaans and the other subjects I studied. Without Afrikaans, all the effort I put into everything else would have been nothing. I remember Jacky saying you will be surprised at what happens if you just keep going. So I told myself in the school library. The school was run by nuns, so we are not allowed any books for girls to read, but there were magazines about farming in the library and they had good stories in them. I learned Afrikaans from reading stories about the farmer's boy.We lost touch, but all through my career I have kept a photograph of him to remind me of his wise advice. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了老师Jacky对作者的积极影响。1．How did Jacky behave when he taught the author maths?

You will be late! ” You reach school and again the same words “Hurry up! ” do not let you rest in peace.Throughout the day, it is a mad rush. One period gets over, the other starts and you are ready for the second subject. When you forget to do your homework, you try to sit at the back and pretend to be looking for something on the floor or in your bag. You are lucky if you are not seen and it is bad luck if you get caught. If you are not lucky, be ready for a good scolding during break or after school. If you are lucky and your teacher is in a good mood, you may be left with a warning.However, school is not so dull all the time; the games, library period and breaks are welcome time when you can relax, joke and have fun with your friends. There are some teachers, too, who can make school very exciting. For example, Mr Taneja, has a typical style of talking, making us always hooked on the playground.School can be fun, real fun, when picnics and field trips are organized. We wait for them eagerly and keep on requesting our class teacher to organize one for us. Debates, quizzes, cultural programmes also add luster to an otherwise dull school life. Fun increases after real hard work and you tend to enjoy more than those who have been lazy and have wasted their time. I think this period of your life is the most wonderful period — full of dreams and hope.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文， 描述了既紧张、繁忙又充满乐趣的学校生活。5．How is the school life described by the author in the passage?
