 Many years ago, Mike Huss attended Ione Elementary School as a student. He went on to work there-first as a janitor (看门人), then as a teacher, and now as a principal.

 Huss said he never wanted to be an educator, but his seventh-grade teacher felt otherwise. “I remember Mrs. Collier telling me, ‘You will be such a great teacher someday,’ and I laughed at her. not going to happen, but here Lam,” he said.

 Huss ended up starting as Ione Elementary School’s janitor 30 years ago. He then spent 19 years there as a teacher and now is starting his first year as the school principal.

 “I was really looking forward to teaching fifth grade again, and they reached out to me and said, ‘We think you’re the leader the school needs.””

 Huss thinks his success comes from a push from family. He wanted to show his young son, who was 3 years old when Huss went back to school for teaching, that you can do anything you put your mind to.

 Huss’s co-worker Melanie Cortez was also once a student of the school. She said, “The kids aren’t used to seeing him in the office, so we have kids come in all day long asking ‘Is Mr. Huss busy? We miss him so much!””

 For Huss, it’s about the opportunity to change a child’s life. “Believe in every child. I’m here to help them see themselves in a different light, because that’s what people have done for me my whole life,” he said. “I’m trying to help students believe in themselves that they can achieve great things if they just stay the course.”

24. How did young Huss respond when his teacher encouraged him?

 A. He thanked the teacher for her kind words.  B. He could hardly believe what the teacher said.

 C. He didn’t understand what the teacher meant. D. He kept the teacher’s words in mind and worked hard.

25. According to Huss, what pushed him to make progress in career?

 A. The anxiety to support his family.  B. The hope to make the school better.

 C. The eagerness to be his son’s role model.  D. The desire to meet his teacher’s expectations.

 C. Huss is supported by his co-workers.  D. Huss is an example to his co-workers.

 Danelien van Aalst at the University of Groningen and her co-workers have done research on how relative age (相对年龄) affects popularity among 14 to 15-year-olds.

 Researchers surveyed more than 13,000 teenagers in England, Sweden and the Netherlands on who they thought was the most popular in their class. Then the researchers gave each student in their classroom a popularity score linked to their birth month as well as their age position in their class. They discovered this: the older the student was, the more likely he or she was to be considered popular.

 “A child enters school before or after a certain cut-off date and that determines how old or young you are relative to your year group,” says van Aalst. “We found that if you’re born right after the cut-off date, which makes you one of the oldest members of your class, you’re going to be popular.”

 They found that the same effect also applied at the year-group level. Here, it was the children who were the oldest relative to all of their peers in the year group-rather than just those in their own class-that were the most popular.

 All three countries showed roughly the same pattern (模式). However, at the classroom level, it was in the Netherlands that the pattern was the strongest. This is partly because the country has a system of grade retention - when students don’t meet their academic requirements, their teachers will hold them back a year, which means they then become the oldest in their class and often the most popular.

 This relative age effect has also been shown in other areas. “Relative age has earlier been proved to affect school performance-relatively older children do better in school,” says Herman van de Werfhorst at the University of Amsterdam. Similarly, previous research has shown that older children tend to be better at sports than younger students in the same year group.

28. How did the researchers know who the popular students were?

 A. By recording students’ performance.  B. By studying earlier research results.

 C. By collecting answers from students.  D. By comparing the ages of students.

29. What does the underlined word “thatrefer to in paragraph 3?

 A. Popularity. B. Relative age. C. The survey data. D. The cut-off date.

30. What might happen to students held back a year in Netherlands?

 A. Their teachers would be happy to have them in the class.

 B. It would be difficult for them to pass the exams in Netherlands.

 C. They might gain more popularity than others in the same year group.

 D. They might be the most popular among the peers of the three countries.

31. What does the passage mainly tell us?

 A. The older a child gets, the wiser he or she will be.  

 B. Many students want to be held back to be popular.

 C. Older children are likely to perform better in school.

 D. Older children are often more popular than their younger peers.

D

 Workplaces once had both official and unofficial uniforms. In traditional offices, those at the top of the pyramid would always be found in a suit; dressing for the job you wanted meant following this style.

 The rise of the tech world changed this stereotype (刻板印象). Picture Silicon Valley’s most successful leaders, and the clothes that come to mind are jeans, hoodies and black turtlenecks. In the tech world, success has a different kind of uniform one much more casual (随意的) than the suits of the past. This trend towards informality has spread to other fields.

 Then in 2020 the widespread turn to “work from home” upended work dress codes (着装标准) altogether. During the pandemic, people mostly saw co-workers from the shoulders up on video calls-if they saw them at all. From home, people could easily perform a major role in a meeting in a collared shirt, sweatpants and slippers (拖鞋). If cameras were off, they could even be in pajamas (睡衣), working under a blanket.

 Now, as workers come back into offices, few companies are asking a return to formal wear.

 So, what does this mean for dressing for success? With so many different dress codes across companies, is it still possible to 'dress for the job you want’?

 It is no easy to dress for success. Getting the balance wrong by overdressing can send a negative message. About 79% of workplaces in the US now have a casual dress code. Turning up in a suit to show their desire for success could actually have a bad influence on others’ views on you.

 The effect of your dressing style depends on who you are. For example, wearing jeans, your boss may seem easy-going while you seemingly careless. Still, dressing can help position you for success-and the key to getting it right is careful observation. The proper dressing might look very different in different workplaces. So understanding the unspoken rules of the dress code could give you an advantage.

32. Which might be the uniform of success in the tech world?

 A. Slippers.  B. Pajamas.  C. A formal suit.  D. Casual jeans.

33. Which has the closet meaning to the underlined word “upended” in paragraph 3?

 A. Improve. B. Change. C. Require. D. Challenge.             

34. What do we know about dress codes?

 A. Different companies have different dress codes. 

 B. The trend of dress codes would return to formal wear. 

 C. People follow the same dress code to achieve success.

 D. Dress codes are clearly written and understood by people.

35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?  

 A. Dress as you like.  B. Let's dress like a boss.

 C. Ready for the new dressing style? D. Does “dressing for success” still matter?

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。选项中有两项为多余选项。

 Maybe one day, scientists will invent a way for us to download dictionaries straight into our brains. Until then: here are three vocabulary-building tips for those learning English.                           

 ___36___: very important point of leaning words is to learn in context(语境)! ___37___ For example, when taking journeys by train or bus, many native English speakers, in practice, use the verb “to catch”. It is common to hear sentences like this one: I catch the bus at 7:30 every weekday. If you learned the verb “to catch” as a single word, you might describe it as “to receive and hold”. This definition (定义) is correct! But learning this and nothing else would make a such common sentence sound strange to you.

 Look up new words. If you keep hearing a word and aren’t sure what it means, try to look it up as soon as you can. We asked an expert, Bob the Canadian: what is the best way to look up new words? Bob said, “___38___ My second choice would be to use an English-to-your-native-language dictionary.” According to Bob, “Your native language can be your enemy when learning a new language. ___39___

 Keep a notebook handy. Every time you are exposed to English you will come across new words that you don’t understand. Each time you notice a new word, it’s a great opportunity! ____40___ This is an effective study method because each one of your notebook words has something to do with your own memory, giving you a more significant reason to remember them.

 A. Try learning example sentences.

B. Don’t take dictionary meaning seriously.

C. Sometimes words are used completely differently in practice.

D. My preferred way is to look up the word in an English dictionary.

E. So sometimes if you can keep it at a distance, you will learn faster.

F. Perhaps you think putting something down on paper takes much time.

G. Get a notebook and write down each new word that you think is interesting.

Just then the gym teacher walked into the room. He saw that we were ___47___ and sent us out to the running track.

67.阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

 I jumped into my mother’s car and threw my cross-country (越野) team bag into the backseat. “I’m so sick of it!” I said, “Training is less tiring than dealing with Jenny and her feelings.”

 The training has been going for weeks: stretching, running, pacing, lifting weights and making u into a team. Jenny is always the goddess of cross country. She is a coach’s dream. She helps all of un faster by upping the pace. She cheers us on. She trains harder, but so do we. We are co-captains. However, this week, Jenny keeps saying she won’t run with the team. She has all sorts of reasons from leg cramps (抽筋) to a headache. I have to beg her all day, between classes, at lunch, on the way to practice. She really wears me out.

 “What’s her deal? We’re all tired of it. She’s so needy.” I complained.

 Mom pulled into our driveway and shared with me Jenny’s story. Jenny and her little brother have been together all this time in foster care (寄养). They’re really close. But his father, Jenny’s stepfather, came for him this week. He had gifts and hugs and big plans for the boy’s future. But Jenny got nothing. She wasn’t even a little part of the big plans.

 “Poor Jenny, not to have a family. Not to feel wanted or needed.” I was close to tears. My mother patted my knee. “That’s it, honey. You got it.”

The next day, I was the last one to get on the team bus. Then I spotted Jenny. She was sitting in the back, alone. “Can I sit by you?” I asked Jenny. She shrugged her shoulders. I took it as a yes. “I was afraid you weren’t going to make it today.”

“I didn’t think anyone would notice if I made it or not.” Jenny said.

 I looked at Jenny. I understood what she was really saying. “We would have noticed if you weren’t here, Jenny. We want you to run with us. The team needs you.” “Isn’t that right?” I called to the team. There was silence.

 Please, I thought, give Jenny what she needs. __

 She ran with us that day. ___
