The noise of chattering mouths subsided (平息) as the teacher entered the
classroom. “Good morning class. I am Riffat Monaf, and I will be your geography teacher.” Riffat Monaf, an interesting name and an even more interesting person. Her introduction took place about six years ago, and since then I have never met a more influential person in my life.
Mrs Monaf not only conquered me with her vast knowledge of geography, but also won me over with her smile and warm eyes. It was in her class that I traveled to the highest mountains and to the deepest seas from the comfort of the classroom. I learned about the vast oceans, the erupting volcanoes, the snow－capped mountains and the green valleys. She would often relate her adventures about traveling to different parts of the world.
Never can I forget the glory of her face when she talks about how truly beautiful this world is. If I search back my love for the environment and geography, I find her to be the source of my love for preserving nature. If one day I became an environmentalist, I know that I'll thank her for it. Apart from this, she has always greeted me with open arms and she calls her students “my children”. Mrs Monaf's morals and values rubbed_off me deeply and I have always taken her advice into consideration. She has been one of the most consistently good things in my life.
Currently, she is fighting a battle against breast cancer, and it pains me to know that after all she has done for me, I can do nothing for her except pray. Whenever I see her in school, she still keeps that kind smile and an expression so soft that it trembles my heart. Mrs Monaf still talks enthusiastically about geography, and I know that I can never see what a truly great person she has been in my life.

We may be only three weeks into December, but artist Jonnie Hartman has been in the holiday spirit for months, designing and building the Grand America Holiday Window Stroll.
The goal with each window stroll is to create playful and uplifting displays (展示), according to Hartman. “I really try to do something lighthearted, something whimsical,_that is, something everyone can imagine and maybe not see every day in the real world，” Hartman said.
She designs all of the window displays by hand, starting with pencil sketches, then illustrating the designs on her computer and sending parts of the drawings to be printed. From there, Hartman works with a team of five people to build the displays, creating, sewing and embellishing (润色) many elements by hand.
However, a challenge Hartman has faced over the years as she designed the displays is making sure all of the measurements are right for elements to fit inside the windows.
“When I was in college, I was an art major, and I thought, ‘I don't need math. I will never use it. I'm an artist，’ and guess what, it's the most important thing that I use，” Hartman said. “If I don't get that right, then the windows don't fit, the pieces don't come together and it just doesn't work out.”
The holiday window stroll gives Hartman a unique opportunity to hear the feedback from those who observe her creations, which is something she doesn't always get to experience with her other artworks. She said it's fun to hear people's reactions as they go through the holiday window stroll.
“It just makes me happy that I can kind of set the tone for people's holiday season and just maybe bring a smile to their face，” Hartman said.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。作者介绍了“美国盛大的假日橱窗漫步”的设计者和修建者——Jonnie Hartman，她带领自己的五人团队手工制作了各种展品，克服了种种挑战，并且通过这项工作她转变了对数学的态度。她喜欢听取人们对展品的反馈。
9．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “whimsical” in Paragraph 2?
A．Serious. C．Unusual.
B．Exciting. D．Ordinary.
答案：C 词义猜测题。根据画线单词后面的“that is, something everyone can imagine and maybe not see every day in the real world”可知，那是一种每个人都能想象到的，但在真实世界中可能不能每天都见到的东西，因此，画线单词的意思是“异想天开的”，C项与此含义相近，所以选C。
10．What challenges Hartman most in designing the displays? A．The pattern. C．The colour.
B．The fit. D．The teamwork.
答案：B 细节理解题。题干中的关键词是challenges，据此定位到第四段“However, a challenge Hartman has faced over the years as she designed the displays is making sure all of the measurements are right for elements to fit inside the windows.”，因此，Hartman在制作展品的过程中，最大的挑战是确保各个组件的尺寸“适合”，能装入橱窗，所以选B。
11．What does Hartman think about math now? A．She values it very much. B．She still thinks it's useless.
