I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. “Wait a minute” someone might say, “are you talking about Mr. Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar?”The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two weeks to prepare, a period I spent searching for briefcase (公文包) and standing before my full-length mirror, repeating the words, “Hello, class. I’m Mr. Davis.” Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice. Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr. Davis was there. I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12-year-old boy.I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves.I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students alonga long table. I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.“All right then,” I said. “Okay, here we go.” Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment. I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I had imagined that I would sit at the edge of the desk, overlooking a forests of hands. Every student would yell. “Calm down, you’ll all get your turn. One at a time, one at a time!”A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other opinions, I inspected the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.1. The author took the job to teach writing because ______.A. he wanted to be expectedB. he had written some storiedC. he wanted to please his fatherD. he had dreamed of being a teacher2. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 2?A. He would be aggressive in his first class.B. He was well-prepared for his first class.C. He got nervous upon the arrival of his first class.D. He waited long for the arrival of his first class.3. Before he started his class, the author asked the students to ______.A. write down their suggestions on the paper cardsB. cut maple leaves out of the construction paperC. cut some cards out of the construction paperD. write down their names on the paper cards4. What did the students do when the author started his class?A. They began to talk.B. They stayed silent.C. They raised their hands.D. They shouted to be heard.5. The author chose the composition topic probably because ______.A. he got disappointed with his first classB. he had prepared the topic before classC. he wanted to calm down the studentsD. he thought it was an easy topic。
2021版高考英语增分大一轮人教版精练：必修4 Unit 2 Working the land Word版含答案
Unit 2 Working the landⅠ.阅读Yacouba Sawadogo is an African farmer who has been traveling across the deserts for the last 30 years,using ancient farming techniques to fight the threatening deserts.His story dates back to the 1980s when Africa suffered one of the worst droughts in its history.During that period,rainfall reduced by as much as 80%,killing almost all the plants.Most local people moved away to different places,but Yacouba stayed back.Instead of giving in to the violence of nature,he decided to take control and change the face of the land completely.Unable to read and write,and with no access to modern techniques and tools,he started to employ an old African farming practice called “Zai”.The practice involves planting seeds in small holes filled with eco-friendly manure (肥料).The holes fill up with and keep the water that falls during the rainy season.This provides moisture (水分) and nutrients for the growing plants during the dry periods.Also,the manure attracts ants,which help break up the soil further and increase its ability to take in water.Within two decades of starting his revolutionary work,a forested area of about fifty acres came up on the land of the African desert.Yacouba featured in a documentary titled The Man Who Stopped the Desert through which he became known to the rest of the world.To the great joy and relief of Yacouba,what the documentary focused on was put into the re-establishment of local forests and a training program for the farmers who wanted to learn Yacouba’s technique.Today,“Zai” is being widely practiced in the region.1.What does the text mainly talk about?A.A training program for African farmers.B.A documentary about an influential African farmer.C.The serious situation of environment destruction in Africa.D.An African farmer fighting deserts with old farming methods.2.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.Yacouba advertised his farming practice through the media.B.Yacouba’s efforts have made a great difference.C.Rebuilding forests is no tough job at all.D.Deserts no longer threaten Africa.3.Which word can best describe Yacouba?A.Determined.B.Knowledgeable.C.Curious.D.Creative.语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文,介绍了一位非洲农夫使用古老的耕作技术与沙漠作斗争并坚持了30年的故事。

We grow hybrid rice and use animal wastes to make the soil rich.)Has anyone of you ever been to the countryside? What did you do there?(For reference: I went to Chuankou the day before yesterday.

They are the bases of the traditional food in North China. )If you had the chance to do one thing to help end hunger in the world, what would you do?(For reference: I would try to end hunger by popularizing the advanced farming techniques.
