Every man wants his sn t be smewhat f a clne, nt in features but in ftsteps. As he grws yu als age, and yur ambitins becme mre unachievable. Yu begin t realize that yur by, in yur ftsteps, culd prbably accmplish what yu hped fr. But ftsteps can be muddied and they can g ff in different directins.
My sn Jdy has hated schl since day ne in kindergarten. Science prjects waited until the last mment. Bk reprts weren’t written until the final threat.
I’ve been a newspaperman all my adult life. My daughter is a university graduate wrking tward her master’s degree in English. But Jdy? When he entered the tenth grade he became a “v-tech” student (技校学生). They’re called “mtrheads” by the rest f the student bdy.
When a secretary in my ffice first called him “mtrhead”, I was shcked. “Hey, he’s a gd kid,” I wanted t say. “And smart, really.”
I learned later that mtrheads are, indeed, different. They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty wrk clthes. And they dn’t ften make schl hnr rlls (光荣榜).
But being the parent f a mtrhead is itself an experience in educatin. We wh labr in clean shirts in ffices dn’t have the abilities that mtrheads have. I began t learn this when I had my car crashed. The cst t repair it was estimated at $800. ”Hey, I can fix it," said Jdy. I dubted it, but let him g ahead, fr I had nthing t lse.
My sn, with ther mtrheads, fixed the car. They gt parts (零件) frm a junkyard, and ability frm v-tech classes. The cst was $25 instead f $800.
Since that first repair jb, a brken air-cnditiner, a nn-functining washer and a nn-tasting taster have been fixed. Neighbrs and c-wrkers trust their car repairs t him.
These kids are happiest when ding repairs. They jke and laugh and are living in their wn relaxed wrld. And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clthes.
I have learned a lt frm my mtrhead: publishers need printers, engineers need mechanics, and architects need builders. Mst imprtantly, I have learned that fathers dn’t need clnes in ftsteps r anywhere else.
My sn may never make the schl hnr rll. But he made mine.
4.What used t be the authr’s hpe fr his sn?
A. T avid becming his clne.

B. He believed that it wuld save him much time.
C. He believed that it wuldn’t cause him any mre lss.
D. He believed that ther mtrheads wuld cme t help.
6.In the authr’s eyes, mtrheads are__________.
A. tidy and hard-wrkingB. cheerful and smart
C. lazy but brightD. relaxed but rude
7.What did the authr realize in the end?
A. It is unwise t expect yur child t fllw yur path.
B. It is imprtant fr ne t make the hnr rll.
C. Architects play a mre imprtant rle than builders.

Althugh the shrtcmings f the wrld’s dependence n plastics are all t bvius, the benefits they prvide are all t easily ignred. Materials made frm plastics are lighter, and cheaper and easier t prduce. These materials have becme vital in everything frm building t car making. Plastics have als eased the wrld’s dependence n lder materials, and n the living beings, frm which many f them came. There are perhaps 10 millin pians in the wrld. If all the white keys were made f ivry, hw many elephants wuld remain?
Just as the benefits f plastics are ften unseen, hwever, s are sme ptential harms. Nw there is grwing cncern abut what happens when they break up int micr pieces invisible t the eye. In the past decade such “micrplastics” have been fund in fd chains, in human brains and even in the snw f Antarctica.
T deal with the plastics pllutin the best apprach is nt t ban plastics, but t manage them mre carefully. Better recycling technlgies, nw under develpment, are ne part f the answer. The percentage f plastics which end up being recycled has dubled in the past tw decades, but it is still nly 9%. This is nt because peple d nt care abut the planet. It is because recycling is harder and mre cstly than mst peple realise.
Greater use shuld therefre be made f landfill. When prperly managed and well mnitred, this is far less envirnmentally ruinus than ften believed, and can be simpler and mre effective. It als sidesteps the risk that plastics sent acrss the wrld fr recycling will be dumped r burned. Incineratr (焚烧炉), which can bth prduce energy and allw the resulting carbn t be trapped, are a useful chice t, thugh they are als unppular. Frtnum, a Finnish cmpany, has fund a way t turn the hydrcarbns (烃) back int plastic materials. Such innvatin shuld be built n. When it cmes t plastics, the benefits are very much greater than mst peple will allw — and s is the ptential fr managing the csts.
8.Why des the authr mentin the example f pian keys in paragraph 1?
A. T argue that pians shuld nly be made frm plastics.
B. T stress the envirnmental benefits f using plastics.
C. T shw hw plastic materials have replaced natural resurces.
D. T explain the envirnmental impact f using traditinal materials.
9.What is the main reasn fr the lw rate f plastic recycling?
A. The risks caused by recycling.
B. The undevelped recycling technlgy.
C. The difficulty and high cst f recycling.
D. Peple’s lack f cncern fr the envirnment.
10.What des the underlined wrd “sidestep” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Increases.B. Encurages.C. Avids.D. Represents.
11.What is the authr’s verall attitude tward the future f plastic management?
A. Optimistic.B. Hpeless.C. Indifferent.D. Critical.
D
David Strayer, an expert in attentin at the University f Utah never texts r talks n a phne when he is driving. His research shws that, when driving, using a phne can be as dangerus as drinking alchl.
Despite many warnings, multitasking is increasingly cmmn. It is fund that peple in the United States switch tasks n their cmputers 566 times a day. Hwever, when peple spend hurs n digital devices cnstantly switching between activities, the verall prductivity decreases. T much multitasking reduces the ability t think clearly and creatively and t remember infrmatin. This, in turn, can result in stress.
What is the best cure fr the verstressed minds? David Strayer says the answer is simple: Spend sme time in nature. When peple are in natural envirnments, the prefrntal crtex (the brain’s cntrl center) relaxes. Studies shw that when peple can see trees and grass, they are calmer and d better in schl.
In a study at Chiba University in Japan, 84 subjects went fr a 15-minute walk in seven different frests. The same number f peple walked arund different city centers. Researchers then tk bld frm each persn. The frest walkers had a 16 percent decrease in the stress hrmne crtisl. In additin, they had a 2 percent drp in bld pressure and a 4 percent drp in heart rate. All did better than the city walkers. Lead researcher Yshifumi Miyazaki has an explanatin fr these results. Our bdies relax in pleasant natural surrundings, he says. Humans evlved in that envirnment, nt in places with tall buildings and lts f traffic.
Strayer says it is the visual details in nature — sunsets, streams, butterflies that reduce stress and mental tiredness. Peple enjy them withut having t cncentrate n them, which allws the brains t rest and recver frm the stresses f mdern life. “Imagine a therapy (疗法) that was readily available, and culd imprve the cgnitive (认知的) functining at zer cst,” Strayer says. “It exists: it’s called ‘interacting with nature.’”
12.What is the secnd paragraph mainly abut?
A. The cure fr the reductin f creativity.
B. The harmful effects caused by multitasking.
C. The cmmn use f multitasking in the USA．
D. The reasn fr the ppularity f multitasking.
13.Which f the fllwing is NOT mentined as a likely benefit f seeing nature?
A. Faster reactin speeds.B. Better schl perfrmance.
C. Imprved mental functin.D. Feelings f calm and relaxatin.
14.Hw did the researchers get the result f their study?
A. By ding surveys.B. By analyzing cause and effect.
C. By making cmparisns.D. By explaining the phenmenn.
15.What des Strayer think abut “interacting with nature”?
A. It requires a lt f cncentratin t be effective.
B. It nly wrks fr peple wh enjy natural views.
C. It is a free and accessible treatment t reduce stress.
D. It is an expensive therapy that imprves brain functin.

Hmewrk has lng been tied t schl. 16 But with the way f learning shifted, it’s fair t ask: Is hmewrk still relevant, r a leftver frm a different time?
The idea f hmewrk ges back a lng way. Histrians trace it t ancient Rme. Pliny the Yunger, a teacher arund AD 61—113, encuraged students t practice speaking at hme. Hmewrk evlved slwly ver the centuries. 17 In the U. S. , it grew cmmn in the early. 20th century. In 1957, American schls piled n hmewrk t raise academic demands. By the1980s, it was seen as key t academic success.
18 Fr high schlers, hmewrk links t academic perfrmance. But yunger kids seem t gain little frm traditinal hmewrk. Furthermre, students wh are respnsible and supprted at hme are mst likely t cmplete assignments and benefit frm them. Fr students frm lwer-incme families wh might lack internet access, hmewrk can actually widen the achievement gap.
Then everything changed. As educatrs recgnized the limitatins f passive, ne-size-fits-all tasks in encuraging genuine understanding and student engagement, traditinal wrksheets and reading lgs gave way t prject-based assignments r nline lessns, cluding the line between hmewrk and classwrk. Hwever, just assigning tasks wasn’t enugh. 19
S, what nw? Keep, change, r get rid f it? 20 It all cmes dwn t hw it’s used. When it’s just smething t keep kids busy, it desn’t d much. But when thughtful, clear, and actually fitting what a student needs, it has its place. In a wrld where infrmatin is instant, the purpse f hmewrk needs a fresh lk.
A．The thing is, hmewrk isn’t autmatically gd r bad.
B．It tk n a mre frmal rle during the Industrial Revlutin.
C．Furthermre, access t reliable internet became a critical factr.
D．The cncept, hwever, faded significantly during the Middle Ages.
E．The questin f whether hmewrk actually helps students is tricky.
F．Withut engagement, feedback, and supprt, hmewrk lst its effectiveness.
G．Ask students what schl’s like, and yu’ll hear abut tests, teachers and hmewrk.

One sunny afternn, Alice and I were walking hme frm schl, lst in ur girlish cnversatin. Alice, with her curius eyes sparkling, casually asked abut my friendship with Judy. In a mment f thughtlessness, I respnded, “I nly hung ut with Judy because she asked me and I wasn’t keen n being friends with her. She was rather dull.” The unkind wrds just escaped my lips befre I culd catch them, like marbles rlling ff a table.
Little did I knw, Judy had been just arund the crner smehw. When I glanced up, Judy appeared right in frnt f me, having accidentally verheard everything. All the clr faded frm her face. Her eyes widening with shck, withut a wrd, she rushed ff. Alice and I were left standing there, exchanging a lk f shame and discmfrt. I knew I shuld run after Judy and aplgize, but with my mind blank, I was frzen. Alice’s face turned red, t. We walked hme in silence, each step heavier than the last.
The fllwing days were filled with awkwardness. I felt terrible fr what I’d said and was dying t mend ur friendship. An hnest aplgy was desperately needed. But what shuld I say? Unintentinal as I was, I indeed hurt Judy’s feelings. Every time I saw Judy in the halls r during classes, I’d quickly lk away.
Fate threw me a curve ball in ur speech class. On Tuesday, Mr. Thmas annunced that we wuld be giving imprvised(即兴的) speeches. He had written ur tpics n slips f paper and put them int a secret jar. Each f us was asked t blindly chse ne withut knwing what it wuld be abut. I culdn’t say I was nt nervus. As I reached int the jar f tpics, my fingers clsed arund the slip that read, “Share yur mst embarrassing mment.” My heart punded like a drum rll in my chest. It was as if the universe had cme my way t give me a chance.

37.【答案】Knwing what I had t say, I calmed myself dwn and walked t the platfrm. I tk a deep breath and began. With my vice shaking, I spke f my incnsiderate behaviur, deep regret and the upsetting result withut expsing Judy's name. After finishing my heartfelt speech, with sweat flwing dwn my face, I didn't dare t expect my classmates' respnse. T my surprise, they applauded fr my sincerity. Even Mr. Thmas praised my curage t admit my fault and aplgize publicly. Back t my seat, I stle a lk at Judy and amazingly fund she was als lking at me with tears.
That day marked a turning pint. Althugh Judy and I never directly talked abut that unpleasant events, ur interactins slwly returned t nrmal. We laughed and chatted again, as if a silent frgiveness had been granted. I was never prud f my bravery in that speech class. Instead, I knew fr sure it was an experience t be mdestly thankful fr. Here are the lessns I have carried clse t my heart ever since: Speaking ill f thers plant seeds f regret and true friendships deserve the respect f hnest wrds and pen hearts.
38.【答案】Last week, we held a Chinese petry cntest fr the senir ne students in schl hall with the aim f prmting traditinal Chinese culture, which achieved a great success.
Nearly half f the senir ne students tk an active part in it, all f whm shwed great talents.
