I decided at 10 that I was ging t be a teacher because I had a burning desire fr superpwers. As a by, I culd clearly see sme f my teachers had extrardinary pwers.
There was an English teacher in fifth grade wh culd magically transprt us t different wrlds every day by telling us stries and reading t us frm bks we wuld never pick up. This was ur secret and fun time because fifth graders were cnsidered t ld t have stries read ut t them.
It was even shcking that my teacher culd see the invisible. I was ne f thse wh lacked insight. Yet my teacher wuld ntice me and the unspken message in her eyes suggested that she culd see me thrugh. She had anther superpwer and even after fur decades, I culd still vividly remember her lessns abut the great masters f art and great gegraphers, expanding ur hrizns. She did this even thugh her majr was nt art, nr gegraphy. Her lessns went beynd the textbk. I knew I wanted t be ne f thse all-seeing nes with superpwers that made children feel safe and valued.
I knw being a teacher isn’t the easiest r the mst financially rewarding f jbs. And there are ccupatinal risks--yur knees can becme wrn ut frm years f carrying piles f ntebks up and dwn the schl staircase, and yur vice can give in frm t much talking. But despite all that, there are thse chsing this cause. T them, teaching is nt just a jb--it is a science, an art and a craft, and it demands emtinal labur and investment.
All my life, fr three decades nw, I’ve gne t wrk early each day with a spring in my step. Occasinally, I meet my frmer students. Their bvius lve fr me and fnd memries f ur time tgether are my rewards. When I meet thers wh are thirsty fr superpwers, like the brand new teacher struggling t perfect her skills with a brave face n, r the ne in a remte, rural schl travelling 70 kilmeters each day just fr his pupils, I feel prud t belng t the same grup.
8. What can be inferred abut the stries frm paragraph 2?
A. They were tld in a magic way.B. They were written by the teacher.

On average, American kids ages 3 t 12 spent 29 hurs a week in schl, eight hurs mre than they did in 1981. They als did mre husehld wrk and participated in mre f such rganized activities as sccer and ballet. Invlvement in sprts, in particular, rse almst 50% frm 1981 t 1997: bys nw spend an average f fur hurs a week playing sprts; girls lg hall that time. All in all, hwever, children’s leisure time drpped frm 40% f the day in 1981 t 25%.
“Children are affected by the same time crunch that affects their parents,” says Sandra Hfferth, wh headed the recent study f children’s timetable. A chief reasn, she says, is that mre mthers are wrking utside the hme. (Nevertheless, children in bth duble-incme and “male breadwinner” husehlds spent cmparable amunts f time interacting with their parents 19 hurs and 22 hurs respectively. In cntrast, children spent nly 9 hurs with their single mthers.)
All wrk and n play culd make fr sme very messed-up kids. “Play is the mst pwerful way a child explres the wrld and learns abut himself,” says T. Berry Brazeltn, prfessr at Harvard Medical Schl Unstructured play encurages independent thinking and allws the yung t negtiate their relatinships with their peers, but kids ages 3 t 12 spent nly 12 hurs a week engaged in it.
The children sampled spent a quarter f their rapidly decreasing “free time” watching televisin. But that, believe it r nt, was ne f the findings parents might regard as gd news. If they’re spending less time in frnt f the TV set, hwever, kids aren’t replacing it with reading. Despite effrts t get kids mre interested in bks, the children spent just ver an hur a week reading. Let’s face it, wh’s gt the time?
12. What des the underlined phrase “the same time crunch” in Paragraph 2 refer t?
A. Children have little time t play with their parents.
B. Bth parents and children suffer frm lack f leisure time.
C. Children are nt taken gd care f by their wrking parents.
D. Bth parents and children have truble managing their time.
13. In the authr’s pinin, a child develps better if .
A. he has plenty f time reading and studyingB. he is free t interact with his wrking parents
C. he is left t play with his peers in his wn wayD. he has mre time participating in schl activities
14. What des the authr wrry abut American kids?
A. They are increasingly ignred by their wrking mthers.
B. They are engaged in mre and mre structured activities.
C. They are spending mre and mre time watching TV.
D. They are invlved less and less in husehld wrk.
15. What can we cnclude frm the text?
A. Extracurricular activities prmte children’s intelligence.
B. Mst parents believe reading t be beneficial t children.
C. Effrts t get kids interested in reading have been fruitful.
D. Mst children will turn t reading with TV sets switched ff.

On average, American kids ages 3 t 12 spent 29 hurs a week in schl, eight hurs mre than they did in 1981. They als did mre husehld wrk and participated in mre f such rganized activities as sccer and ballet. Invlvement in sprts, in particular, rse almst 50% frm 1981 t 1997: bys nw spend an average f fur hurs a week playing sprts; girls lg hall that time.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了人们工作的原因和意义。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：“你是为了生活而工作还是为了工作而生活？”这是一个有时会被问到的问题。已有谓语动词is，空处需填非谓语动词，作后置定语，修饰名词questin，ask“问”与questin构成被动关系，故用过去分词asked。故填asked。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意：有些人可能会说我们工作是因为我们不得不工作，尤其是因为我们需要那份能让我们在经济上独立的薪水。本空修饰形容词independent，作状语，用副词 financially“在经济上，财政上”。故填 financially。
【38题详解】
考查动词语态。句意：确实，我们大多数人一完成学业就加入劳动力大军，这是事实。本空为nce引导的时间状语从句的谓语，描述一般事实，时态用一般现在时，从句中主语ur studies与cmplete“完成”构成被动关系，故用一般现在时的被动语态，主语为复数，be动词用are。故填are cmpleted。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：然而，谋生绝不是我们工作的唯一原因，还有其他重要的原因促使我们进入职场。reasn后为定语从句，修饰先行词the reasn，关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作fr的宾语，用which引导。故填which。
【40题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：然而，谋生绝不是我们工作的唯一原因，还有其他重要的原因促使我们进入职场。reasn“原因”为可数名词，由ther修饰，应用复数形式，作主语。故填reasns。
【41题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：我们所有人都有这样或那样的梦想，而工作往往使我们能够追求那些梦想。表示“这样或那样”用ne kind r anther。故填anther。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意：亨利·大卫·梭罗说过：“……如果一个人自信地朝着梦想的方向前进，并努力过他想象的生活，他就会在平凡的时刻遇到意想不到的成功。”表示“遇到”用固定短语meet with。故填with。
【43题详解】
考查序数词。句意：例如，杨利伟出于对飞行的热爱，成为了一名飞行员，然后成为了中国第一位进入太空的宇航员。表示“第一位”，空处需填序数词first。故填first。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：无论我们的兴趣在哪里，无论我们的职业选择是什么，工作都允许我们从事自己喜欢的事情，因此，它能给我们带来巨大的成就感和满足感。已有谓语动词allws，空处需填非谓语动词，engage“使投身于，使从事”与逻辑主语us为被动关系，且“允许某人做某事”用allw sb. t d sth.，本空用不定式的被动形式。故填t be engaged。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：无论我们的兴趣在哪里，无论我们的职业选择是什么，工作都允许我们从事自己喜欢的事情，因此，它能给我们带来巨大的成就感和满足感。空处作f的宾语，表示“满足感”应用名词satisfactin。故填satisfactin。
