题目

    A good teacher is more than just someone who can pass on knowledge. As the Times Education Supplement has found, the qualities that make a great educator are being intelligent, concerned and maverick（标新立异的）.     Earlier this year, the UK magazine did a survey of 1,200 educators across the globe to find education's favorite 50 fictional teachers. As it turned out, Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the Harry Potter series, finished at the top of the poll. The secret to Dumbledore's greatness came from the fact that he "was never proud or vain(自负的); he could find something to value in anyone, however unimportant they seemed." Elphias Doge, a Ministry of Magic jurist in Harry Potter, said of the professor after his death. He added that there was "no doubt that he was the most inspiring and the best loved of all Hogwarts headmasters."     Another beloved teacher who made the list is John Keating in the film Dead Poets Society, who inspired students through poetry. "Medicine, law, business, engineering, these are necessary to sustain life," he told students. "But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for." He also encouraged his students to look at things differently when they thought they knew something. "Even though it may seem silly, or wrong, you must try," he advised.     As Mark Goldberg, the author of Keep Good Teachers, said, the key characteristics of these great fictional teachers are qualities of "willingness to put in the necessary time, a love for the age group they teach, and an in-depth wisdom." 28. Which of the following is TRUE about Dumbledore? A. He was proud, vain and maverick. B. He could inspire his students to go on. C. He was unimportant and unique. D. He only loved the intelligent ones. 29. What did John Keating try to teach his students?     A. Think twice before doing something silly.     B. Poetry is necessary to sustain life.     C.

What are the key characteristics of these great fictional teachers, according to Mark Goldberg?     A. Devoted and wise.                   B. Loving and humorous.     C. Determined and strict.              D. Trustworthy and caring. 31. Which is the main idea of the passage?     A. The secrets to Dumbledore's greatness.     B. John Keating makes a beloved teacher. C.
