题目内容

My history teacher Mrs. Sherman in my 11th grade is a great influence on me. She was the person who helped me develop an interest in 41 . Most importantly,she had faith in me,forcing me to 42 myself and helped me become the first in my family to attend a four-year college.

To 43 her,I say at the beginning of one of my books that it has been written for her. I hadn’t 44 her in nearly a decade,but I knew: She changed my 45 — I owed her forever. When she got word of what I'd done,Mrs. Sherman reached out to me. I was 46 just to receive her email. Mrs. Sherman was a giant in my life. To see a 47 from her — I feel like I was 17 again.

After a few emails back and forth,Mrs. Sherman told me a secret: she was 48 ,and she needed a new kidney (肾）49,I got in touch with Sheryl Sandberg,who was also one of Mrs. Sherman's 50 and who is the COO (Chief Operating Officer) of Facebook and we started to search for potential donors.

One of my readers was thought to be a 51 . So,naturally,we started getting 52 . Then,a twist of fate Beth,the potential donor,was discovered to have a cancerous tumor (^5%) on her own kidney. We were 53 to learn this.

Beth would need an operation,but she could be 54 . She kept thanking me over and over for 55 her life. But we all know the 56 . Beth saved her own life — by being so 57 ,and volunteering to save the life of a 58 .

Though we re still looking for a donor match for Mrs. Sherman,we believe we will find one eventually 59 there are so many people out there who are 60 to do something good in this world.

Budget cuts and an increased focus on testing have made field trips,once a popular way to get students out of the classroom,increasingly rare.

“Local school districts don't have the funds (money kept for particular purposes) anymore”’ says Stephanie Norby,director ofthe Smithsonian Center for Education and Museum Studies in Washington, D. C. The Smithsonian museums are some of the most popular field trip destinations in the country. Although there is little hard data to definitively prove that schools are taking fewer field trips,Norby says it seems as though fewer schools have visited the Smithsonian in recent years.

Money once spent on field trips is being spent to help students prepare for standardized tests that might make or break a teacher's evaluation,according to Randi Weingarten,president of the American Federation of Teachers,a union that represents more than 1 million educators nationwide.

“In school these days,if people have a dollar to spare,they spend it on test prep because they get regulated there,”she says.

Field trips provide students with a window to the real world that they don't get in the classroom,and they can help students . understand real-world applications of seemingly abstract topics in math and science,says Weingarten.

Susan Singer,CEO of Field Trip Factory,an organization that has spent the last 18 years designing free field trip outlines for schools nationwide,says she thinks schools are merely scheduling around testing.

“During testing periods,we don't see a lot of field trips,” she says. “Either right before or right after a standardized test,we get a shut door.”

Spending time outside the classroom doesn't mean students aren't learning knowledge that could show up on standardized tests. Several studies have shown that students acquire more information and skills through the type of experience-based learning that field trips provide when compared to in-class learning.

A field trip should be relevant to topics students are studying in school. That way,the Smithsonian's Norby says,it will have a lasting effect.

32. Why is it difficult for schools to take field trips according to Norby?

A. Students dislike the trips.

B. They are short of finances.

C. They have fewer destinations.

D. Field trips are harder to organize.

33. What do we learn from Weingarten?

A. Standardized tests can measure student learning.

B. Money for field trips is used for test preparation.

C. Schools’ education budgets are properly regulated.

D. Schools encourage students to know the real world.

34. In the author's opinion,field trips .

A. may lead to lower test scores

B. sometimes waste a lot of time

C. help students gain more knowledge

D. are less important than in-class learning

35. The text is mainly about .

A. the advantages of in-class learning

B. the effect of standardized tests

C. the problem of budget cuts

D. the decline of field trips

E-cigarettes began as a way to stop people from smoking tobacco. But a new study among teens suggests a scary. effect: E-cigarettes are now appealing to non-smokers,as well. In a survey of over 2 ,000 California high school juniors and seniors,researchers from the University of Southern California discovered that over 40 percent of teen e-cigarette smokers have never smoked traditional cigarettes.

The National Youth Tobacco Survey reports a nearly 9 percent increase in the number of high school students using e-cigarettes from 2013 to 2014,more than enough to stifle (掩盖) the 3. 5 percent decrease in teen cigarette use,as recorded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While 9 percent may not sound like a ton,the amount of middle and high school students using e-cigarettes has actually tripled(增至三倍) .

How,despite decades of anti-smoking advocacy efforts,have e-cigarettes gained such massive popularity in such a short time? Scientists say that the “renormalization” of teen smoking may not be entirely self-inflicted(自己造成的) .A study found that 34 percent of adolescent e-smokers are exposed to electronic cigarettes via a member of their family or friend groups.

Advertising also makes e-cigarettes look cool. E-cigarettes,which are not very expensive,are marketed as a safe alternative to traditional cigarettes,and teens are buying the message. In a recent study in North Carolina,high schoolers easily made a list of the dangers of smoking tobacco,but when asked to do the same with regard to e-cigarettes,the teens were unsure whether the devices could be considered safe. Some weren't even aware that e-cigarettes contain nicotine. But e-cigarettes do contain nicotine. It is highly addictive,which is why some consider e-cigarettes a gateway drug.

If stressing the dangers of tobacco helped make cigarettes uncool,we can do the same to destroy e-cigarettes.

29. According to Paragraph 1 ,what is frightening is that .

A. few tobacco smokers quit smoking

B. non-smokers are attracted to e-cigarettes

C. more and more people are smoking tobacco

D. smokers are replacing tobacco with e-cigarettes

A. 3. 5% B. 9%

C. 27% D. 40%

31. About one third of teen e-smokers use e-cigarettes because of .

A. e-cigarettes’ low prices

B. cool designs of e-cigarettes

C. the influence of people around them.

D. their dislike of traditional cigarettes

32. What can we infer from Paragraph 4 ?

A. E-cigarettes are different from drugs.

B. Most teens know the dangers of e-cigarettes.

C. E-cigarettes are safer than traditional cigarettes.

D. Teens are misled by e-cigarette advertisements.

Good tourist behaviour is of great importance for everyone.

Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning,a middle,and an end with commercials (商业广告) thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. uBuy Super Clean Toothpaste. 44 Drink Good Wet Root Beer." “Fill up with Pacific Gas." Only if you sleep,which is equal to turning the television set off,are you spared the unending cry of “You Need It!Buy It Now!”

The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting,even if youVe traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed—new houses,new buildings,sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it's fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is par-ticularly reckless (鲁莽的) or daring,the ride can be as thrilling as a suspense (悬疑) story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left hand lane? After a while,of course,the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.

The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there' s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat,of course,has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you’ve sat with your legs crossed,with your hands in your lap,with your hands on the armrest or even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at the right time. There are just no more ways to sit.

41. According to the passage,what do the passenger usually see when they are on a long bus trip?

A. Gas stations.

B. Buses on the road.

C. Films on the television.

D. Advertisements on the billboards.

42. What is the purpose of this passage?

A. To persuade us to take a long bus trip.

B. To describe the billboards along the road.

C. To give the writer's opinion about long bus trips.

D. To explain how bus trips and television shows differ.

43. The writer probably doesn’t like .

A. music on the bus

B. food on the bus

C. billboards along the road

D. daring bus drivers

44. The writer feels long bus rides are like TV shows because.

A. they both have a beginning,a middle,and an end,with commercials in between

B. the commercials both on TV shows and on billboards along the road are fun

C. the drivers are always reckless on TV shows just as they are on buses

D. neither travelling nor watching TV is exciting
