If you are studying at school, do be a polite and clever student! There is no excuse for not doing your assignments. If you can’t come to school, you should call your teacher or your classmate ask about homework. It is your responsibility to find out what homework you have missed. It is not the teacher’s job to remind you of the missed assignments.

You must not be absent on a test day. If you are seriously ill, call and let the teacher know you will not be there for the test. If your teacher allows a make-up test, you should take the test, again within one or two days after you return to class. Serious illness is the only reason for missing a test.

Be on time! It is impolite to be late. Also, it bothers other students. If you must come in late, be sure to do it quietly. Have your books and papers out of your bag before you come into the classroom. Then go to your seat and sit down quietly. In the USA, it is not necessary to knock before you enter the classroom. Most teachers will give you a low grade if you are often late.

In America, you should call your teacher by his or her last name instead of “teacher”. Also you should use Mr, Miss, Ms or Mrs before the last name (such as Mrs Smith or Mr Jones). The teacher will tell you the title that he or she likes. It is impolite in the USA to eat, drink or chew gum during class. Don’t do these until the break. Also, removing your shoes in the classroom is not polite.

1.What should you do if you miss a class ?

A. Give an excuse for missing the assignments.

B. Tell the teacher you can’t come to school or do the assignments.

C. Call your teacher or your classmate to find out what assignments were given.

He had to return back to his hometown, where his father wished him to learn to manage our small shop. However, the young man was not interesting in it and didn’t do as his father said. He spends a lot of time reading and he also learned how to repair cars. Last month, I received an e-mail from him inviting me take my vacation on his hometown. I started off.

A famous study was done in a school by a professor from a university．At the start of the school year，the teachers were given the names of five children．They were told that these five were the most excellent students in the class．But the fact was that these students were only average，and they were not the best students at all．Well，guess what? At the end of the year，all the five average students scored among the highest in the class．

What made these average students change so much to become top students? The only difference was the change in their teachers’ attitude．Because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students，they expected more from them．And so these five average students began to believe and expect more from themselves．So they worked harder to do as well as they could．

Do you know? If you expect the best from people，they’ll usually want to give you their best．A great leader said，“Treat a person just how he appears to be on the outside，and you’ll make him even worse．But treat a person like he’s already a success，and you’ll help make him the best he can be．”

Like the true story of 7-year-old Johnny，his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said，“Johnny，you’re the naughtiest(最顽皮的) boy in this class．I’m sure you’ll never change．”The next year Johnny had a new teacher．And on the first day of class，she met with Johnny after school and said，“Johnny，I’ve heard a lot about you! But do you know that I don’t believe a word of it．”And every day after that，this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students even when Johnny did naughty things．Later on，Johnny became a school leader．Because that’s the power of our belief and attitude toward children．

1．The professor started his research by ________．

A．telling the five students to work harder than ever before

B．teaching the five children himself

C．telling the teacher the five students were the best in the class

D．asking the five children to find a new teacher

2．The five average students became top students mainly because of ________．

A．the professor’s study     B．the change in the professor’s attitude

C．the teachers’ hard work   D．the change in the teachers’ attitude

3．Why did the writer tell us the story of 7-year-old Johnny?

A．To show the importance of encouragement．

B．To show that the boy was clever enough．

C．To let us know the famous boy．

D．To let us know how good his new teacher was．

4．According to the story，we can learn that ________．

A．the research began at the end of the school year

B．the students scored highest only because they worked hard

C．if you expect the most from people，you’ll get the least

D．little Johnny liked his new teacher very much

5．What does the passage mainly tell us?

A．If you want to get more，you should have new teachers．

B．Attitude and belief can change a person．

C．A professor’s study can help you score highest．

D．Only teachers can make you a top student．

高二英语单项填空困难题查看答案及解析

At school, I was in the top set for maths. My teachers recommended that I study economics and statistics as my A-level subjects, but I had my mind set on a life fulfilled by the arts.

In fact, I was a victim of a gender stereotype made stronger since birth, that men do science and maths and women do arts or languages. Computer science, technology and physics just did not figure in my teenage world view. Nobody popular in my school chose to study those subjects.

Reality struck hard when I began attending job interviews and interviewers would say: “It’s great that you speak foreign languages, but what else do you do?” Nobody asked my friends who had studied science or technology those questions.

A survey recently showed that three of the best-paid jobs for women are in the technology sector (领域). It’s a sector that really can change the world. We must show girls that technology has an effect on every industry out there, from fashion to architecture to journalism. Anybody can learn to code (编码) and these days it’s as important as reading and writing. I’ve realized that at university I’d achieved the wrong major. Not being able to code limits your impact on the world far more than an ignorance of great literature.

Now I have a five-year-old daughter. I don’t want her to blindly follow gender roles the way I did. I want her to know the fact that a science or technical degree will not limit her creativity but expand it and broaden her horizons far more than my arts background could. I’m exposing her to Minecraft and apps, which help improve analytical thinking and problem solving skill. I’m hoping that my daughter will discover and accept her potentials in science and want to change the world.

1.What does the underlined phrase “gender stereotype” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A.Personal learning style. B.Sex characteristic.

C.Conventional sex concept. D.Profession difference.

2.According to the author, which may be the benefit of learning science?

A.Increasing job possibility. B.Winning popularity.

C.Improving language ability. D.Enriching imagination.

3.How did the author feel for her major choice?

A.Satisfied. B.Active.

C.Doubtful. D.Regretful.

4.What may be the best title for the text?

A.Art or Science, Either is OK

B.Good Subjects, Good Future

C.Girls, Choose More Wisely

D.Catch Chances, Change the World
