Recalling my teaching career, I have a lot to share, but one thing is for sure: Teachers learn just as much from students as students learn from teachers. Here are a few of the things I have learned in my job.Roger was physically and mentally delayed. About once a month, we would have a dance in our classroom. Roger was awkward and ashamed when it came to asking a girl to dance with him. But once, I noticed that Roger was slow dancing with Leah, one of the most popular girls in the class. He had the biggest smile on his face. The next day, when Roger left my classroom to work with his support teacher, I praised Leah for inviting Roger to dance. That simple act of including him in a slow dance was such a great move. At our next dance, Roger asked Leah and every girl in the class to dance. No one turned him down. Leah taught me about the kindness of a simple act and its great effect.It was Serena who showed us what bravery was about. Serena was our play's narrator （旁白 员）.She was scared she would forget her lines/'lf you do," I advised, “pause, stare at the audience and take time to remember. The audience will think it's part of the play." Halfway through the opening night, Serena forgot her lines. She stared out at the 300 people gathered in the gym. After what seemed like forever, Serena remembered. After the performance, she burst into tears backstage, thinking she had let everybody down. When our principal came back to congratulate our cast, she turned to Serena and said her pause worked so well. Little did she know about Serena's little act of bravery.Teachers spend hours making lessons to teach skills and knowledge. We adjust lessons, keep the good and throw out the bad. A good teacher listens to and learns from students and often it has nothing to do with the curriculum.24. How did Roger feel in the class dance at first?A. Embarrassed. B. Surprised. C. Confident. D. Delighted.25. Which of the following words can best describe Leah?A. Creative and funny.B. Clever and brave.C. Humorous and patient.D. Kind and likeable.26. Why did Serena cry after the performance?A. She felt she had disappointed others.B. She was praised for her good performance.C. She was blamed for saying the wrong lines.D. She was extremely happy she had finished the task.27. What does the author want to express in this passage?A. He is proud of being a teacher.B. Students should be kind and brave.C. He is unwilling to retire from teaching.D. Teachers should also learn from students.CPraised as the "Edgar Snow of a New Era", British journalist Andrew Moody devoted himself to accurately reporting on China for over a decade. Born in Nottinghamshire in September I960, Moody's interest in journalism began at age 15. What came next was a storied career that would last 4 decades. A visit to Shenzhen, Guangdong province, in 1997 turned his attention to China. During that visit, he was surprised by the great changes that had taken place in China. Moody began working for China Daily in 2008. In his 13 years at the paper, he published more than 1 million words in the newspaper group's different publications.“These stories aim to explain to a wider audience the strategies（策略）and aims of the Chinese government, and also look at the challenges and difficulties it faces," Moody wrote/1 also attach importance to issues which go largely ignored in the mainstream Western media, and which often fail to provide a full or true image （形象）of China."To better cover China, Moody read a lot. In his Beijing apartment, there were more than 160 books about the nation. Su Qiang, a China Daily editor who worked with Moody for 8 years, said, “He had read all the books that top experts had written about China, and he closely followed how the world viewed China." Moody also learned to speak Mandarin, traveled to most provinces and autonomous regions throughout China and exposed himself to the Chinese way of life.“China is moving into a new era in which it is much more confident about its position and status in the world. I have a definite sense of history in the making," said Moody. He hoped that he could be one of the witnesses and reporters of this historic time.“So even when he was suffering from a serious disease, Moody still soldiered on. All he cared about was whether he could keep on working," said Wang Liping, Moody's attending doctor.When he passed away in June 2021, many people were sad."His death will be a huge loss to those who are working hard on the dialogue between China and the outside world," said Kerry Brown, a professor of Chinese Studies at King's College London.28.

One day, humans may be able to “eat” carbon dioxide, and global warming could be "eaten away" by carbon lovers. Although it sounds wild, the day is coming.Chinese scientists have created starch using carbon dioxide, hydrogen and electricity, according to a study published in Science in September, 2021.“Plants create starch through photosynthesis （光合作用），which is a complex and inefficient （效率低的）process," Ma Yanhe, the director of the Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told China Daily. He added that it would take a plant about 60 steps to turn carbon dioxide, water and sunlight into starch.“Our breakthrough shows that making starch is achievable in a lab. This method makes it possible to produce food in factories and there are many industries that can benefit from this technology.'1" Ma told China Daily.The team has been working on the process for 6 years. zzThe first step of the method is to convert carbon dioxide and hydrogen into methanol （甲醛）,which is a molecule（分子）that contains a single carbon atom," Cai Tao, one of the first authors of the study, told China Daily.Scientists then piece these single-carbon molecules into bigger and more complex molecules. With the help of supercomputing, Chinese scientists have simplified the natural starch-making process from about 60 steps into 11.“The new process has made it possible to turn starch production from traditional agricultural farming to industrial production. And it may be possible to satisfy our needs without farming in the future. This will not only help save water, fertilizer and land but also help recycle carbon dioxide to deal with climate change, “a research fellow with the Chinese Academy of Sciences told the Global Times."The study can also benefit space exploration in the future. The starch may provide a secure food source for astronauts as they travel long distances in space by simply turning the carbon dioxide they breathe out into food.32. What does Ma Yanhe think of the new method of creating starch?A. It's extremely complex and inefficient.B. It's achievable through photosynthesis.C. It's a way of dealing with global warming.D. It's more efficient than the natural method.33. The underlined word ""convert" in Paragraph 5 probably meansA. push B. change C. divide. D. mix34. What can be learned about the breakthrough?A. It can help improve people's health.B. It can change the way of starch production.C. It can provide astronauts with nutritious food.D. It can save farmers from traditional agriculture.35. What can be the best title of this passage?A. Smart with starchB. Hungry for starchC. Secure about food supplyD. Beneficial to food diversity第二节（共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项 涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。The world that we live in is beautiful because it's made up of people from a diverse set of backgrounds and cultures. 36 There's no better way than to acknowledge Global Diversity Awareness Month every October.During this time, our multicultural world is embraced and celebrated for all of the variety and joy it brings. Can you imagine a world where everyone looks the same, has the exact hobbies and interests, and even eats the same thing for breakfast, lunch and dinner? 37 And bringing those differences together makes us better.To put it simply, our diversity and inclusiveness （包容,性）are our biggest Strengths We'll all profit from a more diverse, inclusive society, understanding, Accommodating, even celebrating our differences, while pulling together for the common good. As such, Global Diversity Awareness Month is a great chance for us to learn more about the beliefs, values and customs of other cultures. 3839 For example, we can host a multicultural movie night an
