26、 I waited 14 years to do something that I should have done in my first year of teaching: shadow a student for a day.
This is the first year I am working in a school but not teaching my own classes. Being the High School Learning Coach, my job is to work with teachers and administrators to improve students’ learning outcomes.
As part of getting my feet wet, the headmaster suggested I “be” a student for a day: I was to complete all the work of a 10th-grade student: if there were notes on the board, I copied them as fast as I could into my notebook; if there was an experiment, I did it with my host student; if there was a test, I took it.
I could not believe how dog-tired I was after the day, because I literally sat down the whole day, except for walking to and from classes. We forget as teachers, because we are on our feet a lot — in front of the board, walking as we speak, circling around the room to check on student work…. we move a lot.
But students almost never move, because in every class, the expectation was for us to come in, take our seats, and sit down for the whole class. Therefore, by the end of the day I was eager to move. I had planned to go back to my office and write down some notes on the day, but I was so exhausted that I couldn’t do anything but watch TV and I was in bed by 8:30.
If I could go back and change my classes now, I would immediately change the following three things:
1. mandatory stretch halfway through the class;
2. put a basketball hoop on the back of my door and encourage kids to play in the first and final minutes of class;
3. build a hands-on, move-around activity into every single class day.
【1】Why did the headmaster suggest the author do the task?
A.To help the author with her new job. B.To allow the author to realize her dream.
C.To let the author learn from other teachers. D.To test whether the author was a good coach.
【2】What was the author supposed to do in class?
A.Instruct the students how to take notes. B.Find out what subject the students liked.
C.Do what the students were required to do. D.Teach students to do chemical experiments.
【3】How did the author feel after the day?
A.She lost interest in TV. B.She had pity for students.
C.She felt unsatisfied with the school. D.She thought teachers move too much.
【4】What do the three changes have in common?
A.They are after-class activities. B.They encourage students to love sports.
C.They prevent students from sitting too long. D.They are good for both teachers and students.
27、 OK,” I said to my daughter as she bent over her afternoon bowl of rice. “What’s going on with you and your friend J.?” J. is the leader of a group of third-graders at her camp — a position Lucy herself occupied the previous summer. Now she’s the one on the outs. and every day at snack time, she tells me all about it, while I offer the unhelpful advice all summer long.
“She’s fond of giving orders, ”Lucy complained. “She’s turning everyone against me. She’s mean. And she’s fat. ” “Excuse me,” I said, struggling for calm. “What did you just said?” “She’s fat. ” Lucy mumbled. “We’re going upstairs,” I said, my voice cold. “We’re going to discuss this. ” And up we went. I’d spent the nine years since her birth getting ready for this day, the day we’d have the conversation about this horrible word. I knew exactly what to say to the girl on the receiving end of the teasing, but in all of my imaginings, it never once occurred to me that my daughter would be the one who used the F word—Fat.
My daughter sat on her bed, and I sat beside her. “How would you feel if someone made fun of you for something that wasn’t your fault?” I began. “She could stop eating so much,” Lucy mumbled, mouthing the simple advice a thousand doctors have given overweight women for years.
“It’s not always that easy,” I said. “Everyone’s different in terms of how they treat food.” Lucy looked at me, waiting for me to go on. I opened my mouth, then closed it. Should I tell her that, in teasing a woman’s weight, she’s joined the long tradition of critics? Should I tell her I didn’t cry when someone posted my picture and commented, “I’m sorry, but aren’t authors who write books marketed to young women supposed to be pretty?”
Does she need to know, now, that life isn’t fair? I feel her eyes on me, waiting for an answer I don’t have. Words are my tools. Stories are my job. It’s possible she’ll remember what I say forever, and I have no idea what to say.
So I tell her the only thing I can come up with that is absolutely true. I say to my daughter, “I love you, and there is nothing you could ever do to make me not love you. But I’m disappointed in you right now. There are plenty of reasons for not liking someone. What she looks like isn’t one of them. ”
Lucy nods, tears on her cheeks. “I won’t say that again,” she tells me, and I pull her close, pressing my nose against her hair. As we sit there together, I pray for her to be smart and strong. I pray for her to find friends, work she loves, a partner who loves her. And still, always, I pray that she will never struggle as I’ve struggled, that weight will never be her cross to bear. She may not be able to use the word in our home, but I can use in my head. I pray that she will never get fat.
【1】The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 indicates that Lucy ________.
A．often makes fun of her friend J.
B．has begun to compete with her friend J.
C．gets along well with her friend J.
D．has turned against her friend J.

28、As is known to us all, cats are difficult to track. On nearly a weekly basis, my owe cats disappear somewhere in the house, hiding while I fruitlessly tear the place apart and ignore the sinking fear that they may have gotten outside. After some period of time, they just... reappear.
Thanks to a new study published Wednesday in the journal PLOS One, we now know that our cats likely never have the same worries about us. Cats, the study suggests, are able to track their owners’ whereabouts, using only the sound of the human voice.
While researchers have long known that cats possess object permanence, or the ability to recognize the existence of an object even when it is no longer immediately seen, the real-time “tracking” capabilities shown in this study open up new ways to study cats’ minds.
“Fewer research reports have been made about cats’ mental and behavioral mechanisms (机能）than those about dogs’?, Saho Takagi, a doctoral student at Kyoto University and the lead author of the study, wrote in an email to Inside Science.
In a series of three experiments, Takagi’s team observed how cats placed in a familiar room responded to a series of sounds played from speakers located both inside and outside of the room. The first experiment used human voices, the second used the sounds of other cats, and the third used electronic sounds. Takagi found that while the cats had no strong reaction to the electronic or cat sounds, hearing an owner’s voice without the owner present in the room left the cats noticeably confused. The sound of an unfamiliar human’s voice also caused confusion, though not as much as a cat’s owner did.
【1】How does the author’s mood change according to paragraph 1?
A．From anxiousness to relief.
B．From happiness to terror.
C．From helplessness to craziness.
D．From eagerness to nervousness.
【2】What have researchers known about cats for a long time?
A．They may be lacking in object permanence.
B．They possess a more brilliant mind than dogs.
C．They can keep track of something that is out of sight.
D．They have more complex behavioral mechanisms than dogs.
【3】Which of the following apparently confused the cats?
A．Electronic sounds.
B．A stranger’s voice,
C．Other cats’ sounds.
D．Their owners’ voice.
【4】What would be the best title for the text?
A．Cats make sense of their surroundings by sight.
B．Cats have different communication skills.
C．Cats locate their owners through hearing.
D．Cats develop a unique relationship with humans.
29、When someone told 85-year-old Johnny Long that he was called a living legend, he replied, “I don’t know about that, but I’m living, and that’s important.”
Starting in 1949 as a high school band director and later as director of the Troy University band, Johnny Long became known as one of the most inspirational band directors in America. More than three hundred of his students went on to become band directors them-selves. “I have been a band director for more than 60 years and all I know about the word band is that you spell it F-U-N,” Long said. “And if you change that, it’s over.”
Long retired 14 years ago to spend more time with his wife Mary Lynn. But his passion (热情) for bands never went away. He dreamed of forming a top-notch (拔尖的) community band in Troy. But Troy is a small town — with not a ton of top-notch talent. “I didn’t think it would work, I really didn’t,” Long said.
Fortunately, there was one thing Johnny hadn’t considered: the devotion of his former students. Now, once a week during the concert season, they drive in from all over the south and across the decades.
65-year-old Bobby Johnson was in Long’s first college class. He lives in Atlanta and drives 3 hours to practice. Johnson said he does it because Long’s “such a unique character and I just admire him so much.”
Many people do it for the same reason. “He’s the single biggest influence on my career.” “He was a father figure to me. He’s just a genuine person.”
Long said he wanted to be remembered as a teacher. “I think ‘teacher’ is the greatest word in the English language, next to ‘mother’.”
【1】What Long got most from bands was ______.
A. pleasure B. health C. wealth D. honor
【2】Why did Long retire 14 years ago?
A. Because he found no band talent in Troy.
B. Because he was tired of working as a director.
C. Because he hoped to spend more time with his wife.
D. Because he found his students were not devoted to music.
【3】The words of Long’s students show that ______.
A. Long treated his students like a father
B. Long was born to be a good teacher
C. Long influenced his students greatly
D. Long was very special as a teacher
【4】What’s the main idea of the text?
A. Johnny Long still teaches at the age of 85.
B. A band director had more than 300 students.
C. A band lover organized a band in a small town.
D. 85-year-old band director still inspires others.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Although many companies offer tuition repayment, most companies only repay employees for classes that are 【1】 to their position. This is a very limiting policy. A company that repays employees for all college credit courses—whether job related or not—offers a service not only to the employees, but to the entire company.
One good reason for giving employees 【2】 tuition repayment is that it shows the company’s commitment to its employees. In today’s economy, where job security is a thing of the past and employees feel more and more expendable, it is important for a company to 【3】 to its employees that it cares. The best way to do this is with concrete 【4】 in them. In turn, this commitment to the betterment of company employees will create greater employee 【5】. A company that puts out funds to pay for the education of its employees will get its money 【6】 by having employees stay with the company longer. It will reduce employee turnover, because even employees who don’t take advantage of the tuition repayment program will be more loyal to their company just knowing that their company cares 【7】 to pay for their education. Most importantly, the company that has an unrestricted tuition repayment program will have higher quality employees. Although these companies do indeed run the risk of losing money on employees who go on to another job in a different company as soon as they get their 【8】, more often than not, the employee will stay with the company.
And even if employees do leave after graduation, it generally takes several years to complete any degree program. Thus, even if the employee leaves upon graduating, throughout those years, the employer will have a more sophisticated, more intelligent, and therefore more valuable and productive employee. And, if the employee stays, that education will 【9】 benefit the company: Not only is the employee more educated, but now that employee can be 【10】 so the company doesn’t have to fill a high-level vacancy from the outside. Open positions can be filled by people who already know the company well. Though unconditional tuition repayment requires a significant investment on the employer’s part, it is perhaps one of the wisest investments a company can make.
