In 1972, I returned to Miami Beach High School to speak to the drama class. Afterward I asked the drama teacher 21 any of my English teachers are still there. Irene Roberts, he tells me, is in the class 22 down the hall.
I was no one special in Miss Roberts? class —just another student who did okay work. I don?t recall any one special bit of wisdom she passed on. Yet I cannot forget her 23 for language, for ideas and for her students. I24 now, many years later, that she is the perfect example of a 25 teacher. I?d like to say something to her, I say, but I don?t want to26 her from a class. Nonsense, he says, she?ll be 27 to see you.
The drama teacher28 Miss Roberts into the hallway where stands this 32-year-old man she last saw at 18. “I?m Mark Medoff,” I tell her. “You were my 12th-grade English teacher in 1958.” She 29 her head to one side and looks at me, as if this angle might remember me in her 30 . And then, though armed with a message I want to31 in many words, I can?t think up anything more memorable than this: “I want you to know,” I say, “you were 32 to me.”
And there in the hallway, this lovely woman, now nearing 33 age, this teacher who doesn?t remember me, begins to weep; and she encircles me in her arms.
34 this moment, I begin to sense that everything I will ever know, everything I will ever pass to my students, is an inseparable part of a legacy(遗产) of our ancestors.
Irene Roberts holds me35 in her arms and through her tears whispers36 my cheek, “Thank you.” And then, with the briefest of looks into my forgotten face, she 37

浙江高考英语试题及答案2020
浙江高考英语试题及答案2020 延伸阅读： 高考英语完形填空答题技巧 第一步：跳过空格，通读全文，把握大意。 第一遍读文章时不要做题，而是跳过空格，通读试题所给的要填空的短文，获得整体印象，做到弄清文脉、抓住主旨，较好地把握 短文大意。平时自己做题时，如果读一遍读不懂，那就读两遍，读 两遍还是读不懂，那就再读一遍。一定要记住“读不懂文章不要做题”，因为没有理解文章做了也是白做，既浪费时间又浪费精力， 还自欺欺人，危害不小。总之，一定要在理解短文意思的基础上才 能开始做题。 另外，读第一遍时要注意先读懂文章的首句和末句，因为这两句往往是没有被挖空的句子。它们往往是全文的关键句，是文章的 “窗口”和“指南”，可作为解题的突破口。通过读文章的首句一 般可判断文章的体裁、人物、时间、事件和事态等。文章的最后一 句或最后一段，往往是故事发展的结果，所陈述的事件的结论、启 示性的提示，或是对全篇文章的概括。因此，先读一读末句对理解 文章是很有帮助的。 第二步：结合选项，综合考虑，初选答案。 在理解全文意思的基础上，结合所给备选项再次细读全文。联系上、下文内容。注意从上、下文的语法结构和词语搭配及从选择项 中寻找解题的提示。以词、句的意义为先，再从分析句子结构人手，根据短文意思、语法规则、词语固定搭配等进行综合考虑，对备选 项逐一进行分析、比较和筛选，排除干扰项，初步选定答案。有把 握的先做，没有把握的“跳过”。 第三步：先易后难，瞻前顾后，各个击破。
对比较明显、自己最有把握的答案先做，一下子不能确定答案的，先跳过这一空格，继续往下做，最后回过头来再集中精力解决难点。这时可结合已确定答案的选项再读一遍短文，随着对短文理解的深入，自然就会降低试题的难度，提高选择的正确率。 值得一提的是，近年来的高考完形填空，已很少有纯粹的语法题材。完形填空主要考查考生根据不完整的上下文，推断出文段发展 走向的逻辑思维能力，其考查的重点不是语法和词法的知识。任何 一篇文章的句子结构和内容上不会孤立存在，句子与句子之间是有 很强的逻辑关系的。因此，必须借助上下文的一些暗示才能正确解题。 第四步：复读全文，逐空验证，弥补疏漏。 做完所有的空格后，把所选的答案补入空格中，把文章通读一遍，逐空认真复查，看所选定的答案是否使短文意思前后连贯、顺理成章，语法结构是否正确，是否符合习惯表达法，发现误选的答案或 有疑问的、不清楚的答案，再次推敲，作出修正。 猜你喜欢：

2018年浙江高考英语试题[有详细答案解析]
绝密★启用前 2018年6月普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（浙江卷） 第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分35分） 第一节（共10小题；每小题分，满分25分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。 A In 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66 novels published in Britain. People had been writing novels for a century—most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719— but nobody wanted to do it professionally. The steam-powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy（识字） rate in England was under 50%. Many works of fiction appeared without the names of the authors, often with something like “By a lady.”Novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly, immoral, or just plain bad. In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and publisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters — from Oliver Twist to Tiny Tim— were held up as moral touchstones. Today Dickens’ greatness is unchallenged. Removing him from the pantheon（名人堂） of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa. How did Dickens get to the top For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a numbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass. Some 60,000 novels were published during the Victorian age, from 1837 to1901; today a casual reader might be able to name a half-dozen of them. It’s partly true that Dickens’ style of writing attracted audiences from all walks of life. It’s partly t hat his writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress. But it’s also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center. No one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a singular writer. But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible —and important for our own culture—to understand how he made himself a lasting one. 21. Which of the following best describes British novels in the 18th century

There may be a slight chill (寒冷) in the air, with temperatures staying around 15℃in March, but Spain's handsome capital is slowly starting to warm up. Even more attractive are the cultural events. A new exhibition on the living and working spaces of Spain's greatest artist, Picasso, has just opened in the studio at the Fundacion Mapfe at Paseo de Recoletos 23. It runs until 11 May with rarely seen pieces borrowed from his family. Later this summer, the 400th anniversary of the death of the Renaissance (文艺复兴) painter EI Greco will be marked with an exciting exhibition at the Museo del Prado at Pasco del Prado from 24 June to 5 October. How to go? The widest range of flights is offered by EasyJet—from Bristol, Edinburgh, Gatwick, Liverpool and Luton. British Airways and its sister airline Iberia combine forces from Heathrow and London City. Ryanair flies from Manchester and Stansted; Air Europa flies from Gatwick. Barajas airport is 13km north-east of the city centre and is served by frequent trains on Metro line 8, but the shortest underground journey is a bit complex with at least one change at Nuevos Ministerios station and takes about 30 minutes. The fare to any station in the city centre is €4.50. The airport express bus runs every 15 to 35 minutes around the clock; €5 one way. It takes 40 minutes to reach the city centre. A taxi takes half the time. A flat rate of €30 covers mast of central Madrid. 1. When will the exhibition about Picasso close? A. On 23 March. B. On 11 May. C. On 24 June. D. On 5 October. 2. Which airline operates flights from Manchester to Madrid? A. EasyJet. B. Ryanair. C. Air Europa. D. British Airways. 3. What is the fastest way to reach central Madrid from Barajas airport? A. Take a taxi. B. Take a city bus.
