And she was immediately very protective over him. We lived near a busy road. As my son was too young, we were supe

18、r vigilant for fear that he should go out of the front door.Cindy knew that our son wasnt allowed to go through the front door without us, so whenever Tony touched the front door handle, she would push him back. One morning, around 4 am, our son somehow managed to “escape” through his bedroom window

19、, and Cindy had to follow.At 5 am, the police woke us knocking on the door. They said, “Your son was nearly killed but the dog saved him.” They then repeated what the truck driver had said.He told them that he was driving along in the dark and in the distance he could see something “light coloured”

20、moving on the road. As he got closer, he could see a dog at the side of the road barking at it. At the last moment, he realized that it was a child and was about to change the direction. The dog was still barking, glancing(扫视) between the truck and the child. While the driver was braking(刹车), the do

21、g ran out into the road, jumped at the childs back and threw him out of the path of the truck. At the same time, the truck hit the dog and she was killed.The driver said that hed never believe what he saw unless it was with his own eyes. He thought that the dog definitely knew the danger, which was

22、why she was barking so anxiously. He said “that dog just saved that kids life and it knew what it was doing.”That was 39 years ago and I still miss Cindy every day.24.

24、e AccidentB. A Dangerous EscapeC. A Barking HeroD. A Careless DriverCAt the foot of an Icelandic volcano, a newly-opened plant is taking CO from the air and turning it to rock. This technology is known as “direct air capture(捕捉)” or DAC. Its a bit like “mining” the sky for COsimple in principle, but

25、 very difficult to carry out.To do this, you need the right geography conditions. That is why Climeworks, a Swiss company, built the Orca plant in Iceland. There, fans draw air into big black containers where the filter(过滤器) catches CO. Once the filter is full, it is heated to around 100 to separate

26、 CO with sufficient energy from volcanic activity. Next, the collected CO is combined with water and pumped deep underground into rock formations. Within a few years, the CO will turn into stone.However, exciting and promising as this technology is, it wont save us from climate change on its own. Wh

27、ile Orca, the largest plant of its kind in the world, can capture up to 4,000 tons of CO per year, the yearly global emissions(排放) are around 33.4 billion tons of CO, so the plant can deal with 0.00001% of our yearly emissions. Besides, the process is expensive and requires large amounts of energy.D

28、aniel Egger, the chief commercial officer at Climeworks, said that while his company is at an “industrial level”, it is not where it needs to be to make a difference in fighting climate change. But we have to learn to walk before we can run.Carbon storage(碳储存) is just arising as a technology. It won

29、t help us fix climate change yet, but it can be important down the line, if we have the right conditions for it.28. What can we learn about DAC according to the text?A. It is the best way to fix climate change at present.B. It requires enough heat and energy to operate.C. It is highly developed in r

30、emoving CO.D. It can be applied anywhere in the world.29 Why are some data used in paragraph 3?A. To indicate the bright future of the technology.B. To provide the research results for the readers.C. To show the challenges DAC faces at present.D. To call for more plants like Orca to be set up.30. Wh

31、at is the authors attitude towards the technology?A. Unclear.B. Uninterested.C. Doubtful.D. Hopeful.31. From which is the text probably taken?A. A science report.B. A company leaflet.C. A chemistry textbook.D. A social web page.DIn a recent staff meeting, my colleagues and I discussed ways to allevi

32、ate the current stress our 11th-grade students were feeling. I offered a successful strategy that I use for organizing work in the classroom-negotiating (协商) due dates. The assistant replied, “Yes, a good idea, being flexible with due dates.” Flexible? That was not the word I used, and to me, those

33、two words are not interchangeable; flexibility and negotiation are not the same thing.Being flexible can help decrease stress and anxiety in the classroom. It shows willingness on the part of the teacher to listen, engage in conversation with students, and shift and adapt when possible. But the bala

34、nce of power has not really changed. The student still needs to ask for permission, which may or may not be given. In a week when my work seems manageable, I may be feeling generous, but in a week when my workload is high, I may be less likely to lean toward flexibility. So flexibility might mean an

35、 extra hour, half a day, or a few days.In either case the student has no power. In many ways, by the time students reach the stage of having to ask, its too late. The stress has already increased, and students are placed in a position where they may make poor decisions, like cutting classes, to get

36、some extra time.Negotiation is different. It happens at the beginning of the process and is a proactive (先行一步的) approach that encourages shared ownership, an acceptance of equal responsibility. Negotiating brings the teacher and students together to address the issue equally. The date by which work

37、will be done is a question for all, but the student does need to do the work, and the teacher needs to assess it. There are competing needs and schedules and workloads.Sometimes even the smallest things are worth considering carefully. In teaching, there is nothing small. As a teacher, I usually sel

38、f-reflect my practice, and strengthen my practice.32. What does the author think of the assistants reply?A. It is a convincing statement.B. It is a wrong interpretation.C. It is a detailed description.D. It is a positive response.33. What is the authors opinion of being flexible?A. It makes the stud

39、ents feel free.B. It is a win-win choice in class.C. It is a strategy to remove stress.D. It allows the teacher the final say.34. How does negotiation work according to the author?A. By encouraging competition among students.B. By helping teachers assess their responsibility.C. By creating harmony a

40、nd equality in the class.D. By providing a way to reduce students workload.35. What can we infer about the author from the text?A. He is expert at arguing with others.B. He is committed to his teaching work.C. He is worried about the current education.D. He is doubtful about the assistants ability.第
