解析
1. C. 根据We depend upon a good teacher to help us learn the vital skills we need和We couldn’t have doctors, engineers and business leaders without teachers to guide us to acquire the skills needed for those jobs以及Through their role in our lives, they inspire us with great ideas, and they help turn life into an adventure等陈述可知前两段讲述了教师的重要作用。因此选C。
2. B. 第三段中作者拒了John Keating的例子，讲了好老师对于学生的启发作用。因此选B。
3. B. 根据前文Indeed, teachers are there for us, day in, day out, preparing classes, teaching them, setting and marking homework and exams, and always with an eye on how we’re doing individually可知此处this指代的是教师的奉献精神。因此选B。
1. D. 第一段提到了Paul加入的grammar school和Baz加入的secondary modern school，再看后文可知介绍了英国不同的两种学校体系及其演变，因此D项是正确的。
2. B. 根据Today, 90 per cent of children aged 11 to 18 from the same area go to the same school without taking any entry examination可知B项正确。
3. A. 根据The British often disagree about the best way to educate their children可知A项正确。
4. D. 根据最后一段的表述Paul虽然进入了Grammar school并成为了教师，但是其收入并不比后来进入普通学校并且成为工程师的Baz多，作者打趣地调侃道：“so perhaps life is fair after all”。由此可知D项正确。
1. D. 根据However, a recent study carried out by scientists from the University of Liverpool in the UK and the University of Milan in Italy proved this theory wrong可知D项正确。
2. C. 根据It turned out the left-handers outperformed the others when the tasks involved difficult problem-solving. This pattern was particularly clear in male adolescents可知C正确。注意后文虽然提到However, when it came to simple arithmetic (算数), there was no difference between left- and right-handers，但是与C项中的difficult并不冲突。
3. D. 根据It means that there are lots of right-handed people with a similar brain function as left-handers可知D项正确。
1. C。根据文章第二段，作者认为，孩子们有时所说的恨别人并不意味着真正憎恨，而只是一种玩笑话或者情感的表达，自己并不在意，因此可知答案为C，不能把孩子们说的所有话都当真，同时排除B项。A项原文未提及；D项与作者观点不符。
2. D。根据文章第三至五段，某天作者的孩子说出恨自己时，作者很惊讶，怕孩子真的开始慢慢憎恶自己而导致消极后果，因此耐心劝导和安慰孩子要尊重自己，由此可知D为正确答案，即，作者担心孩子将这句话当真，影响自己。A项作者只是安慰孩子，并没有给孩子礼物；B项作者并没有要求孩子道歉；C项与文章意思不符。
3. C。根据文章第六至八段，自我憎恨的人们通常不敢大胆地追求一段恋情，因为他们怕被拒绝；也不敢大胆申请自己梦寐以求的工作，因为他们认为不可能成功。因此可知答案为C，自我憎恨的人在开展一段恋情时会出现困难。A、B两项文章中未提及；D项与文章意思相反。
4. D。通读全文，作者写这篇文章主要在说明语言对于人们生活的影响，尤其是自我憎恨型的语言对人们的消极影响，因此答案为D。A、B两项均不是作者的主要意图；C项文章没有涉及。

M: Many children nowadays can play a musical instrument. In my son’s class, some play the piano and some play the violin.
W: I think these children must be tired. They have to do homework after class AND find time to practice their musical instrument.
M: But I think music can cultivate children’s tastes and make them happy. I believe it even helps them study better.
W: I agree, but parents shouldn’t force their children to learn something they don’t like. By the way, can your son play any musical instruments?

Learners of English often wonder what the differences between British and American English are. There certainly are several differences, but how important are they?
There are a few differences in grammar. For example, an American might say, “I already ate”, while a Briton would say, “I’ve already eaten.” Pronunciation is sometimes different. Words like “vitamin” and “derby” are pronounced different ways in the UK and US.
There are differences between British and American English in spelling and vocabulary too. For example, “colour” and “honour” are British English, while “color” and “honor” are American English.
These differences in grammar, pronunciation, spelling and vocabulary aren’t important, however. For the most part, British and American English are the same language.
