14、e(权威的) person towering over me. She spoke in a loud voice and the earth shook whenever she marched. That was in the first year of high school. She was a knowledgeable literature teacher then. However, during my first year in school, she struck terror into my heart(使我胆战心惊). And everyone elses of cour

15、se. Just the mention of her name made the most unruly classes silent. Nevertheless, the two years of junior high passed by rather quickly. Soon, I went to senior high class. I had worked hard and gotten the subject combination that I wished for. Together with a group of old friends, I soon settled d

16、own in class comfortably. To everyones surprise, she was fortunate enough to be my teacher that year. I was shocked when I heard the news. This time round, however, I decided not to hide in terror whenever she was near. I decided to face the fact that we were going to meet each other for the next 36

17、5 days. Instead of trying too hard to lick her boots, I tried my best to my natural self in front of her. Still, I could not shake off the ice-cold impression that she put in my heart. True, her jokes sometimes sent me into fits of laughter, yet at other times these jokes simply fell flat the moment

18、 she told them. My lovely class, however, was already ready to laugh at the right time of her amusing stories. After all, we would not want to run the risk of provoking(激怒) her. Unluckily, life was not to remain boring. One day we received news that Miss Vicki was to leave Singapore for the Philippi

22、cial responsibility. CHave you ever looked at a fashionable item of clothing and felt confused? If so, your confusion may have made sense. Several months ago, high fashion brand Balenciaga released a “T-shirt shirt”, which is a shirt sewn on the front of a T-shirt. The unusual design has certainly c

23、onfused a lot of people.But the “double shirt” isnt fighting alone on the frontier of strange fashion. Ever since US shoe manufacturer Crocs released its famous hole-filled foam shoes, so-called “ugly fashion” hasnt showed any signs of slowing down, the Business of Fashion website noted.The rise of

24、ugly fashion is a sign that people are bored of looking perfect all the time. Indeed, fashion is all about changes. Something thats considered uncool one minute can then turn out to be the latest must-have fashion item the next. In the eyes of US fashion writer Megan Collins, ugly doesnt necessarily

25、 mean the design of the item is ugly. After all, ugly is something subjective. “Uglyfashion means not the mainstream its not what everyones wearing; its not what the general population considers as in right now,” she told style news site Fashionista.

30、ta Whittingtons words?A. She is in favor of ugly fashion trends.B. She doesnt care about fashion at all.C.She hopes to be the same as others.D.She wants to look ugly as a model.DHowever exciting space exploration sounds, theres a vital point about it that needs to be considered: food supplies. Right

31、 now, astronauts typically rely on dry food in airtight bags and cans, since there are strict weight limits on items taken into space. Foods that we take for granted, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, are out of the question for space explorers.For those whove attempted to grow food during space

32、missions, theyve faced many difficulties, including the absence of gravity, and a lack of soil, air and humidity ( 湿 度 ). However, growing food to supplement and minimize (最小化) the food that must be carried to space will be increasingly important on long-duration missions. Great efforts have been ma

34、 urine could supply three to four out of the six nutrients that plants need. The researchers also found out that urine-fertilized plants produce no harmful by-products, such as carbon dioxide or ammonia.According to New Scientist, human urine is 95 percent water, with the other 5 percent composed of

35、 nutrients which are harmful to the human body but not to plants. The advantage of this urine-fueled life support system is obvious: By recycling liquid waste and producing food, an efficient cycle will be created.And most importantly, said New Scientist, the duration of space missions will be great

36、ly extended to “20 years of flight”, meaning we may be soon sending astronauts on missions to Mars, or even beyond.32. Space farming is important mainly because .A.food brought from Earth goes bad easily during space flightsB.it will keep astronauts busy when they are on long-term space missionsC.it

39、n space.B.It could pave the way for long-term space flights.C.It will greatly reduce the cost of farming in space.D.Urine-fertilized plants are healthier and taste better.35.

They also had five ducks that could provide them with fresh eggs.
