His love of life has not dimmed despite the fact that his legs no longer work like they used to. He visited some of his fonner students while he was in town. At Beverly Hills High School, Mr. C taught ancient history, coached football and golf, and risked his life teaching driver's training on Saturday mornings from 1964 to 1988. The gray and hobbled students lined up one after another to thank their favorite teacher. One called him a rock star. Another was grateful for helping him when he couldn't say so. It was a bcautifiil tribute, especially in these times of catastrophic teacher shortages.Spending that Sunday in the park with Mr. C was nothing short of magic. It was a reminder of all that is promising and possible in public education, including a teacher whose rare emotional honesty could be appreciated and honored decades later. It also brought to mind Maya Angelou's saying "People will forget what you said and did, but never forget how you make them feel.'' He made me and others in the park feel heard and seen.Mr. C changed my perception of myself. Rather than seeing myself as a loser cheerleader who couldn't compete with the smart kids, I realized how much I loved learning. His history class was so interesting. In his classes about the Persians, Greeks, and Romans, extra credits can be earned for creativity. During earthquake drills, we counted onMr. C to scream his head off in mock terror.It should conic as little surprise that I'd value the role of teachers in my life. Both of my parents taught; so did my siblings, aunts, uncles and cousins. I, too, have become a teacher and I try to follow in Mr. C's footsteps. Some days, I fantasize what it would be like to go on a teacher tour, reaching out to my mentors to express my deep gratitude for all they've given me. Seeing Mr. C sparked that fantasy again. When I finally worked up my courage to thank him, knowing a floodgate of tears would open, he said to me with his typical modesty: "You were doing me more good than I was doing you.”What does the underlined word “tribute“ mean in Paragraph 2?A. enthusiasmB. admirationC. devotionD. commitment4. Why does the author mention Maya Angelou's saying?A. To make a suggestion.B. To introduce a celebrity.C. To show respect to an educator.D. To interpret the influence of education.6. What does the author think of her job as a teacher?A. Enjoyable.B. Intolerant.C. Incompetent.D. Patient.7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. A reunion.B. A rock star.C. A surprise.D. A great teacher.Not only does the use of plastic water bottles hurt your wallet, it also increases pollution and wastes energy and water. Only 23% of all plastic in America ends up in a recycling bin, meaning over $ 1 billion worth of plastic is treated as rubbish a year. Recently, Skipping Rocks Lab has invented a kind of water bottle called Ooho.It is a convenient, clear water bottle that can either be drunken or eaten. To drink it, you can either peel off the membrane（薄膜）or tear a hole in the membrane with your teeth to pour the water into your mouth. To eat it, yousimply pul the whole bottle in your mouth. One problem the scientists have run into is how to ship large amounts of Ooho bubbles(水泡)without arriving with a very wet truck. However, they have attempted to package units of individual bubbles together inside a larger and thicker membrane. It is targeting large outdoor events, such as marathons, music festivals, and sporting events, where tons of plastic bottles arc used, and frequently left behind as litter. And too much plastic is sure to do harm to the environment, which could account for their purpose of such a new invention.The team has been working for the past two years to develop the technology and materials needed to produce Ooho; they have recently applied a patent for (heir new advanceinents. The price for an individual bubble or a unit of bubbles has not been set yet, but they cost about two cents to create a unit, which is cheaper than plastic bottles. It has appeared at events in London, San Francisco, Boston, at conferences, festivals, and so on.Ooho is catching many people's attention and has raised over S 1 million and gained 1,000 investors in only three days. It is mostly being sold at events at the moment to keep the consumer's interest while the productionmachine is getting up and running. It is quickly making a future.8. How is most plastic dealt with in America?A. It's sold.C. It's buried.9. Why did the team invent Ooho?A. To make a profit for a company.C. To make people eat as they drink.10. What can we infer about Ooho from (he text?A. It is easy and safe to ship it in large amounts.B. It has become popular since it began to be sold.C It might be sold at a lower price than plastic bottles.machine is getting up and running. It is quickly making a future.11.

But other animals have long had their navigation （领航） systems built right in.“We know their eyes are quite sensitive to polarized （偏振的）light and the sky has a particular pattern of polarized light relative to the position of the sun,“ Barbara Webb, a researcher at the University of Edinburgh, says.You can sec polarized light firsthand if you take a pair of polarized sunglasses and spin them against the sky- the light passing through the glasses changes. Webb says the insects have polarization like that built into their many eyes. 44You can think of it as having lots of sunglasses pointing in different directions.”But Webb was curious whether there's really enough information in the sky to give insects an accurate sense of direction. So her team built a sensor （传感器）modeled after a desert ant eye and put it under artificial light meant to simulate the sky. They then put that sensor into a model meant to model the brains of desert ants and other insects. And they found that with the insects' sensing and processing equipment, they can likely sense direction down to just a couple degrees of error.A system based on that of insects could someday be a cheap low-energy choice to GPS. Insects have verytiny brains. A brain the size of a pinhead that's using hardly any energy. And yet they,re still able to navigate better than we can with GPS, which is surprising. Webb is now working on building a robot that can use light to get its directions.12. What can we learn from the text?A. GPS is not accurate enough.B. Insects have better eyes than humans.C. Light changes passing through polarized sunglasses.D. Insects have tiny brains that use no energy.13. Wha（ does the underlined word “simulate” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Pretend.B. Cover.C. Block.D. See.14. What did Webb's research find?A. Insects can't find their ways during nights.B. Insects can find directions with little mistakes.C. Insects always make mistakes finding directions.D. Insects have sensing and processing equipment in their eyes.15. Which of the following can best describe insects, navigation ability?A. Disappointing.B. Interesting.C. Amazing.D. Confusing.第二节（共5小题：每小题2. 5分，满分125分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Some people say house dust is mostly human skin cells, but it's only a little bit tnic. 16. but there aremany other components。或分）on top of your ceiling fans. These include paint, hair, building materials, bacteria, viruses, insect body parts, etc.That list is based on the Canadian House Dust Study, in which researchers collected dust samples from 1,025 Canadian homes. The proportions（比例）of the components vary from household to household. A house near a busy road, fbr example, is likely to harbor a high level of outdoor pollutants from car exhaust（废气）.17.The commonly-cited statement that 70% to 80% of house dust is human skin cells is likely not true for most houses. 18. and 40%camc from dirt and other materials from outside.

Ozone is a pollutant that can cause lung discomfort. Ozone reacts with these oils, thus reducing indoor ozone by between 2% and 15%.A.
