That morning, I stepped into the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with seventy-five students who would be my English Literature class. Having taught in     for seventeen years, I had no    about my ability to hold their attention and toimpress on them my    for the literature of my mother tongue.
As I entered the room, I was     when the monitor shouted: “Stand up!” The entire class rose, and I was somewhat    about how to get them to sit down again. Once that awkwardness was over, I quickly     my calmness and began what I thought was an informed lecture, sure to gain their respect — perhaps    their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which came from a sense of achievement.
I asked my students to keep     as homework. However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually    by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today.    her next lecture will be better.” Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a     theme. “Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework of Western thought and laid the historical    for all the works we’ll study in class,” I complained. “How    they say I didn’t teach them anything?”
It was a long term, and it    became clear that my ideas about     were not the same as those of my students. I thought a teacher’s job was to raise    questions and provide enough background so that students could    their own conclusions. My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide    information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference!
   , I benefited a lot, for my experience with my Chinese students has made me a    American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.

小题6:C 考查动词辨析 reminded 提醒;returned 返回;regained重新获得;recovered 恢复。but once that awkwardness was over提醒读者他开始见到那情景有点局促不安,到很快又重新获得平静calmness。所以Regain正确
小题7:B 考查副词辨析 more 更多;even 甚至;yet然而;still仍然。句意当恢复平静后,我认为开始获得他们的尊敬甚至是敬佩。admiration是在respect基础上的递进,所以用even符合这一空,B正确
小题8:D 考查名词辨析 discussion 讨论;notes 注意;compositions 作文;diaries日记。学生们写日记,我从中看出他们对我的看法 keep kiaries 记日记。所以选D项。
小题9:A 考查动词辨析 replaced 代替;frightened 害怕;troubled麻烦;moved移动。句意 读到学生的日记,原来萦绕在我心头的自我好感很快褪色了,取而代之的是悲伤。Be replaced by...被...取代,所以A正确

Since I was a child, I called my father my Kong, after King Kong. I believed that he was just as strong as the giant ape(猿猴). As he faced death, I did my best to help release him to the next life.
Two months after he passed away, my sister called to ask if I would like to go see Lisa Williams, a well-known witch(巫婆). I was familiar with Lisa from her show on Lifetime, and since I was eager to get a sign from my father, I agreed to go.
I took my father’s gold watch and listened as Lisa helped audience members communicate with their loved ones. “I have a grandfather-like figure with me and he is speaking about his granddaughter Jilly,” she announced. The audience was quiet; no one raised a hand. I nudged(用肘轻推) my sister and whispered to her that this was Dad ,for my third child and my father had a deep bond(关系,纽带) and he called her Jilly.
Although I sensed his presence, I wasn’t confident enough to raise my hand. I needed something a bit more concrete, something undoubted.
“This man is letting me know he had cancer,” she continued. I nudged my sister harder and assured her this was our father. Lisa went on to say that this person died in June (my father had died June 8th). There was swelling of the legs.
“Important information,” she called out. My heart beat fast . I jumped up when she asked, “Who is holding his watch?” I waved the watch in the air.
“He wishes you congratulations.” My fourth child was born three weeks after my father died. I was in shock and could not believe I was getting a chance to hear from him, yet I knew our bond was strong enough that he could come to the world. She banged on her chest like an ape and apologized, saying, “I don’t know why but he wants me to do this like Tarzan.” It didn’t resonate(共鸣) with me until my sister called out “King Kong!” I was convinced. No way could this woman have ever known a detail unless Dad was communicating through her.
Each bit of information she gave us was just as meaningful. She ended our session by informing us that he would send us coins. The very next day I found six coins in various places; they seemed to have come out of nowhere. Even in death he is my Kong, and he remains important in my life.

I was fat kid who grew into an overweight adult. I was      laughed at for being heavier than the other kids,      me feeling shy. I tried several diets, but      worked, and I     gaining weight. Another factor        my weight gain was my love for cooking, especially rich, high-fat desserts, which I enjoyed preparing and, of course, eating.   
 When I finished high school at the age of 18, I weighed 215 pounds.       the self-confidence to go to a new, faraway school, I decided to stay close to home      going away to college. I continued with my unhealthful eating habits and felt more miserable as the weight came on, but I did nothing about it except buy larger plus-size clothes.   
My turning point came 10 years later at a friend"s New Year"s Eve party when I was at my all-time highest weight of 330 pounds. I caught my       in a mirror and the truth      me: I was overweight and unhealthy, and unless I did something about it now, I would only get bigger and       .   
After leaving the party, I thought about my past weight-loss     and realized they didn"t work because they required me to abandon foods I loved. Then I would constantly think about food and binge,       the diet      my hunger and not feel deprived.   
 My biggest       was finding a way to fit my passion for cooking into my healthier lifestyle. At first, I tried to stay away from the kitchen to         myself thinking about food. The result: Food was all I thought about.       had to be some way to combine cooking with healthful eating. I found the     after reading several low-fat cookbooks. With some trial and error, I could modify my favorite foods and make them low in fat, yet delicious.  
 The pounds started coming off, and when I started exercising (usually cardio and weight training five times a week), they seemed to melt away. I didn"t feel deprived, and I felt free to give my body the care and attention it     .  
I lost 165 pounds over the next two years. I had many ups and downs. I was determined to go on. Another challenge to me was not to beat myself up if I ate something that was unhealthy and to take it as a sign to abandon my healthful habits.      I vowed to start again and always keep my goal in mind.  Thanks to losing weight and becoming fit I am         my body and myself. I have finally found myself.
