In my ninth-grade writing class last year, I met a cwby wh saved his twn, a strict father wh demanded his sn earn straight A’s, and a mdern-day Juliet wh died f heartbreak after her parents rejected the lve f her yung life. Mre than nce, I fund myself wndering just hw my students, wh’d created these peple, knew their subjects s well.
But things were different fr their first essay, which was abut the questin: “Why is writing imprtant?” Mst f the essays filled less than ne page, and few cntained a sentence that culd be interpreted as a thesis (论点) statement. I was shcked. Then I realized that the prblem was the questin itself. They culd have written pages n the necessity f cmputers, but writing, in and f itself, simply didn’t strike them as imprtant. This wuld have t change.
As a new unit started, I asked everyne t write a persuasive piece n a health-related tpic f their chice. This time they fund the exercise much mre interesting. Fr the next tw assignments, a persnal-narrative unit fllwed by a creative-writing wrkshp, I nly required that the piece meet the specificatins f its genre (体裁) and that it cntain a thesis. The results were staggering. The students tk n diverse tpics and turned in stries, 10 t 20 pages each, with characters that bradened my view and tuched my heart.
I walked int class believing that writing is imprtant as a means f cmmunicatin. Hwever, my students demnstrated smething mre imprtant t me. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a yearbk full f messages abut writing’s mst pwerful significance — the ability t cnnect peple, t put us in anther’s skin, t teach us what it means t be human.
24. Wh are the peple mentined at the beginning f paragraph 1?
A. Ninth graders.B. Fictinal characters.
C. Mdern writers. D. Students’ parents.
25. Why did the students perfrm prly in writing their first essay?
A. They misunderstd the questin. B. They had a very limited vcabulary.
C. They had little interest in the tpic. D. They were nt given enugh time.
26. What des the underlined wrd “staggering” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Mixed.B. Disturbing.
C. Similar.D. Amazing.
27. What des the authr’s experience shw?
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Teaching is learning.
C. Knwledge is pwer.D. Still waters run deep.

Fr millins f years, bees, mths and ther pllinatrs have used scents (香气) t lcate flwers and transfer pllen (花粉) t any flwers they later visit. But smething is changing tday. When the scents f flwers interact with certain air pllutants (污染物) at night, key scents are destryed. Mths and ther nighttime pllinatrs may find it hard t recgnize the flwers they were seeking, researchers shw.
The Seattle team cnducted field and lab tests with a plant — the pale evening primrse. Eclgist Jeremy Chan put bags ver pale evening primrses t trap the flwers’ scent. Then he tk the scent back t the lab, alng with sme mths. They released the primrse scent and mths int a wind tunnel that culd mimic cnditins in an utdr field. At nce, they watched the mths easily flying straight upwind and tracking the scent. But it was different when pllutants, like zne and nitrgen dixide, were added t the mix. Nw, the mths flew in a “Z” line. They seemed t be seeking the scent — ften withut success.
The team then decided t test its findings in nature at night. The result was the same. When this scent was mixed with the pllutants, mths’ visits drpped. Sme mths even never fund a single flwer during the tests. Besides, the same reactins culd hurt flwers’ scents by day. But because sunlight can break dwn zne, the prblem is likely mre serius fr night pllinatrs.
As Earth’s climate warms, it’s likely that a mix f pllutants will cntinue t climb. Such cnditins culd wrsen the pllutin threat t flwers’ scents and plant pllinatin. “As we knw, pllinatin is imprtant t fd grwers”, nted Jel Thrntn. He’s an atmspheric scientist in the team. He said pllutin culd pse a new type f threat t farming.
28. Why d mths have truble finding ut flwers tday?
A. Flwers’ scents interrupt mth.B. Pllutants affect flwers’ scents.
C. Flwers are nt available at night.D. Flwers are changing their scents.
29. Hw did the researchers get the findings?
A By mnitring mths’ behavirs.B. By detecting the primrse scent.
C. By analyzing the types f pllutants.D. By cmparing scents with pllutants.
30. What did Jel Thrntn think f the findings?
A. Amusing.B. Prmising.
C. Satisfying.D. Wrrying.
31. Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the text?
A. Pllinatrs: Lst in PllutantsB. Scents: Gne with the Wind.
C. Pllinatrs: Master f a Garden. D. Scents: Nature’s Secret Language.

It is William Shakespeare, the great ciner, wh is given credit fr the wrd. Crilanus, ne f his characters, cmpares ging int exile(流放) t a “lnely dragn” retiring t his cave. He was talking abut a physical state: smene wh was lnely was simply alne. Then, thanks t the Rmantic pets, the wrd tk n emtinal meanings. Lneliness became a cnditin f the sul. Fr William Wrdswrth, wh famusly “wandered lnely as a clud”, the natural wrld ffered an escape frm negative feelings f lneliness—a hst f flwers culd prvide “cheerful cmpany”. Tday, lneliness is ften seen as a serius public-health prblem, creating the feeling f discnnectin.
In his bk Slitude, Netta Weinstein, a psychlgy prfessr wnders the rewards f time spent alne. He begins with an accunt f stries f slitude created by figures such as Michel Mntaigne, a writer, and Edward Hpper, a painter. Netta then draw n labratry wrk, interviews and surveys t clarify hw being alne really affects the human mind.
It is cmmn t treat lneliness and slitude as synnyms(同义词), but they are nt. The authr suggests that what is negatively described as ne state can be psitively expressed as the ther. Lneliness, ften perceived as negative, can ptentially be transfrmed int a psitive experience f slitude. T this end he emphasizes hw being alne can help restre peple and ffers practical advice. In a nisy wrld, he argues, peple shuld make time t be alne, away frm attentin-grabbing mtives.
The bk’s interviewees mstly regard a lack f cmpany as a cntributr t autnmy. But this depends n whether slitude is desirable r nt. Enfrced slitude, such as that experienced by prisners, typically leads t nthing but suffering. Elective slitude, by cntrast, affrds space fr self-reflectin. It can pen the dr t “peak experiences” such as wnder, harmny, and happiness. In a highly-cnnected digital age, hwever, many readers d nt fancy their chances f ever taking a lng enugh break t have such experiences.
32. Hw des paragraph 1 intrduce the cncept f lneliness?
A. By tracing its develpment.B. By analyzing causes.
C. By making a pint t be argued.D. By sharing a rmantic stry.
33. What des Netta Weinstein’s bk Slitude fcus n?
A. The varius terms f slitude.B. The scietal impact f slitude.
C. The lng-standing histry f slitude.D. The psychlgical benefits f slitude.
34. Netta describes the state f lneliness as ___.
A. stressfulB. essentialC. changeableD. never beneficial
35. What des Netta mst prbably agree with accrding t the last paragraph?
A. Enfrced slitude is a matter f chice.
B. Enfrced slitude cntributes t autnmy.
C. Elective slitude is rare in the digital wrld.
D. Elective slitude interrupts peak experiences.
