Philip was a nine-year-old boy in a Sunday school class of 8-year-old girls and boys. Sometimes the third graders didn’t welcome Philip into their group and usually tricked him. This was not because he was older, but because he was “different”. You see, Philip suffered from a condition called Downs’s Syndrome. This made him “different”, with its facial characteristics, slow responses and mental problems.
One Sunday after Easter, the Sunday school teacher gathered some plastic eggs that pulled apart in the middle. The teacher gave one to each child. On that beautiful spring day, the children were to go out and discover for themselves some symbol of “new life” and place it inside the plastic eggs.
After the children returned to the classroom, the teacher opened their eggs one by one, asking each child to explain that symbol of “new life”. The first opened egg contained a flower. Everyone cheered. In another was a butterfly…. When the teacher opened the last egg, it was empty. “That’s stupid,” said someone. The teacher felt a pull at his shirt. It was Philip. Looking up, Philip said, “It’s mine. I did it. It’s empty. I have new life, because the tomb is empty.” Not a sound was heard in class at all. From that day on, Philip became a real part of the group. They welcomed him, and whatever made him different was never mentioned again.
Philip’s family knew he wouldn’t live a long life, for there were too many things wrong with him.
1.The underlined word “condition” in the 1st paragraph probably means __________.

高二英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析
It was the beginning of the school year a few years ago and I had a little boy in my class who came from a nonEnglish speaking home. He was very quiet and shy. I wasn’t sure how much he understood during the school day and I was especially concerned that he just stood by himself at break time and did not play.If I tried to talk to him,he would turn away and tightly shut his eyes to hide from me.
After a day or two of this,I decided to seek the help from one of my outgoing and friendly little girls.I called her over and she ran to me,ready to help.
I immediately began a long speech about what I needed from her.I asked her if she would try to get him to play,and I started talking quickly about all these suggestions on how she could start communicating with him. I explained she could do this,she could do that,she could try this idea,she could try that idea.She touched my arm to stop my talking and looked up at me in that wise and special way that only a sixyearold can,and said,“Don’t worry.I speak kid.” And she ran off.
I stood there all alone,silently watching her.It took less than a minute for the two new friends to run off,hand in hand,happily joining a game of tag (捉人游戏) taking place all over the gym.
I often think of that small moment,about what I learned and how important it is for all teachers to speak kid—big kid,little kid and middle kid.I know my focus must be on teaching students how to think,how to approach problems,and how to figure out solutions and teaching them never to let the_opportunity away.We must be ready to learn from our students because those “teachable moments” during the school days are for us,the teachers,as well as our kids.
1.Why did the author worry about the boy?
A.He didn’t dare to look at the author in the eyes.
B.He couldn’t speak English as well as other students.
C.He failed to understand what the author taught.
D.He was unwilling to communicate with others.
2.By saying “I speak kid”,the girl meant that she could________.
A.speak the language that kids understand
B.speak the boy’s native language
C.know what kids want to say
D.speak well like a little kid
3.The underlined words “the opportunity” refer to the chance to________.
A.play at break time B.learn from students
C.solve problems D.speak kid
4.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Gold will shine everywhere.
B.Children are more friendly than adults.
C.Teachers’ thoughts are different from students’.
D.You learn something every day if you pay attention.

高二英语完形填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
In my class in middle school, there was a girl who was considered the outcast of our class. No one actually knows how this exclusion originated, but we all followed it for no reason at all. One day after lunch, we girls sat on the track field, talking about little things that happened in our little lives. Someone brought her up, and soon the topic transformed to mocking the funny texture of her hair, the awkward way she walked and…. I felt extremely uncomfortable but kept silent, because I didn’t want to be the one “supporting” the common enemy. After all, it’s just a mild ranting session among a trusted group of friends, why should I bring unnecessary tension?
Suddenly, one of my friends pointed her finger towards somewhere behind me. All of us turned around and saw that exact girl, hand still in the air, with a twisted look on her face. She lowered her hand in slow motion, blinked really hard for a few seconds, then turned around and ran off. For a second I wanted to stand up and chase her down to tell her that no one meant what they said, and that she is an amazing person being who she is. But my legs felt so heavy: I didn’t want to make a fool out of myself—why bother taking care of the class clown(小丑)? People would think that I was crazy as well!
No one spoke a word for a long time; we were all so caught up in our thoughts. I tried opening my mouth but couldn’t—no words were coming out. Then one person started talking about the weather, and all of us were more than glad to follow this flow.
A few weeks later, the teacher told us that a classmate dropped out of school—it was that girl. Her parents told the school that it was the peer pressure that made her want to leave. The teacher wanted to know who the bully was. Again, no one spoke a word. Perhaps it was exactly this cold, hard silence that drove her away. I certainly did not raise my hand—I had never even said anything bad about her; it was my friends who loved to make fun of her awkwardness every day.
Surely, I didn’t bully her physically or with my language, but I kept silent when others did. By failing to stand up for her and offering her support, I was giving tacit(心照不宣的)agreement. This agreement made others think that it was okay to mistreat her, because “no one cares anyways”. Perhaps I did realize I was bullying her—but by convincing myself that I had nothing to do with her leaving, I wouldn’t have to bear the burden of heavy shame on my shoulders.
Real life is not like a Hollywood movie, and the protagonists don’t always have the courage to compensate for our mistakes. In that classroom, my feet were glued to the ground once again, thinking of all the possibilities that could embarrass me in front of the whole class. What if she doesn’t appreciate my effort and just walk off? What if she misunderstands my actions as sympathy and gets upset? Worst of all, what if my own group mates disapprove of my decision? Am I really willing to risk my friendship just to help out one girl that I’ve seldom spoken to?
To be honest, I still don’t have answers to these questions. I don’t know if the answers to those questions even exist. However, what I do know is that nothing will change if I keep thinking and never take actions. Talking to someone in need of support would mean the world to them, while it takes little to none effort for me. So what if those actions are under appreciated? At least I will be satisfied knowing that I did the right thing.
