9、hen you do what you love for a living and know that youre making a difference, every day is filled with purpose.Over the Veterans Day break, Turlock High School English teacher Jared Jeffries visited a family where he overheard a relative, Uncle Will, told his 16-year-old niece that nobody loves the

10、ir jobs and that we do the things that really matter after work. Jared couldnt disagree more. So Jared Jeffries shared his wise words on Facebook for anyone who needs a little inspiration this school year.needs of about 30 different students in a 45-minute period and to meet those individual needs.

11、Every new year is an opportunity to reflect and improveto inch closer to the impossible task to teach every kid every (lay.

12、nt to quit, at times, because your job is impossible. And because your job is impossible, at times, you will never want to quit. You can love your job. The excitement never has to wear off. The purpose of work is thatyou can do things that really matter.Jareds message resonated(共鸣)with hundreds, man

13、y of whom are teachers themselves. The idea was clear: to find meaning in life, we must create it. And that comes from pushing ourselves to achieve the impossible because well never stop striving for greatness. Lets all follow his lead and build passion and purpose in every single part of our lives.

14、1.What caused Jared Jeffries to post the words on Facebook?A.His dissatisfaction with his job.B.The confusion of a 16-year-old girl.C.His opposition to Uncle Wills opinion.D.The appeal from someone who needs encouragement.2.How does Jared Jeffries introduce his opinion?A.

In addition to the expense, it is also harmful

17、 to our environment. Now, thanks to a revolutionary self-healing 3-D printed rubber material, cracked shoe soles may be a thing of the past.The magical polymer(聚合物，多聚体）is the brainchild of researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) and the University of Connecticut (UConn). The team,

18、 led by USC Assistant Professor Qiming Wang, created it through a process called photopolymerization(光聚合作用)，which uses light to solidify the liquid used to create 3-D printed plastic. The researchers found that adding the right proportion of oxidant(氧化剂)to the liquid allowed the 3-D polymer to heal

19、without slowing down the hardening process.“When we gradually increase the oxidant, the self-healing behavior becomes stronger, but the photopolymerization behavior becomes weaker, “explained Wang. There is competition between these two behaviors. And eventually, we found the ratio that can enable b

20、oth high self-healing and relatively rapid photopolymerization.” The team, who published their findings in the journal NPG Asia Materials on February 1st, 2019, state that the repair time can be reduced by increasing the room temperature. “If you just put a broken shoe on a bench at room temperature

21、，the rubber will heal itself in six to eight hours,” Wang said. “If you apply heat, at maybe 60，that accelerates the healing process to about two hours.Given the materials tremendous potential, it is not surprising to hear that Wang and his team have been approached by several shoe manufacturers(制造商

22、)eager to be the first to use the technology, which is still in the early stages. Once perfected, the scientists also hope to apply the technique to hard plastics that can be used to create self-healing toys, electronics, vehicle parts, and, if Wang has his way, even tires.1.How do the researchers m

23、ake 3-D printed plastic self-heal?A. By changing the proportion of light used.B. By raising the temperature at which it is used.C. By increasing the hardening speed of the liquid.D. By adding the proper amount of oxidant to the liquid.2.What can we infer from Qiming Wang?A.The more oxidant added, th

24、e faster the healing process becomes.B.The concentration of the liquid contributes to self-healing.C.The surrounding temperature determines the speed of healing.D.There is cooperation between self-healing and photopolymerization.3.What is shoe manufacturers attitude to the revolutionary material?A.

25、Interested.B. Indifferent.C. Critical.D. Doubtful.4.Where is this text most likely from?A. A science magazine.B. An advertisement for shoes.C. An instruction about 3-D printing.D. A report on environmental protection.4、As the planet and oceans continue to heat up，sites where coral (珊湖）has recently b

26、een grown well are becoming harder and harder for corals to survive. But scientists have now discovered a shelter to which one regions reefs might relocatevia oceanic currents when corals are still in their free-floating larval (幼虫状态的）stageto escape overheating. Researchers found that during periods

27、 of warming in the distant past, coral reefs migrated away from their warmer home to more comfortable subtropical (亚热带的）areas around Daya Bay, just northeast of Hong Kong in the South China Sea.Tara Clark, a scientist in Australia, led a group of scientists on an exploration to Daya Bay in 2015. The

28、re the researchers randomly collected dead corals and calculated their ages. By studying fossils record there, they find the ancient reefs grew between 6,850 and 5 ,510 years ago, which is also the time when ocean temperatures around South China and nearby seas were two degrees Celsius warmer on ave

29、rage than they are today. This trend indicates that some of todays reefs may be able to set up a new home in places such as Daya Bay.“Its absolutely fundamental to understanding the movement of coral reefs and their responses to ecological change”, says John Pandolfi, a scientist at the University o

30、f Queensland. Such adaptation often occurs on broader timescales than those of humans, and the fossil record can reveal that long-tern change.Although the fossil evidence suggests that Daya Bay could one day provide a refuge for corals, there are some barriers in the way of making the refuge an invi

31、ting place. Not all corals, for instance, are equally fit to travel across the ocean to a new home. And Daya Bay is now heavily polluted, which could reduce its ability to sustain reefs. But in light of the new discovery, Clark says, “we might as well do the best we can to protect the areas like Day

32、a Bay, just in case.”1.Why did the coral reefs move to Daya Bay?A. To freely float to the distant area. B. To return to their favourite habitat.C. To live in the warmer water in Daya Bay. D. To stay away from their liabitas hot waters.2.What does the discovery of the scientists in Paragraph 2 sugges

33、t?A. Corals might seek for new habitats.B. Climate change is good for corals.C. Dead corals indicates a temperature change.D. Dead reefs should be gathered irregularly.3.What does the underlined word “adaptation refer to in Paragraph 3?A. The climate change in a longer time.B. Coral reefs reaction t

34、o a temperature change.C. The long-term formation of coral reefs, fossil.D. Humans judgement on reefs moving trend.4.Why does Clark ask us to protect the areas like Daya Bay?A. They are shelters for coral reefs to grow now.B. They are heavily polluted by humans activities.C. They can serve as reefs

35、new residence in future.D. They are good places for new scientific discoveries.5、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。We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us dont do a very good job_So, you have to give a speech and you are terrified.

65、个小时之后,作者就感到筋疲力尽了。通过这次亲身体验残疾人生活,作者明白了残疾人要克服生活中的种种困难。通过下文体验残疾人生活可知,作者参加的这个活动,目的是更多地了解(aware of)残疾人在生活中所面临的问题。2.根据第11 空前的“For disabled people, adopting a wheelchair is.”可以推断,此处是指让人们体验残疾人的生活。cure“治愈”,prevent “防止”,analyze “分析”,均不符合语境。3.根据下文的内容可知,“我”选择轮椅体验,故选like me“像我一样”.4.根据上文内容可知,作者是一个正常人,故使用轮椅应该有一个学习(

66、learning )的过程。下文中的“I had never considered before”是提示。5.根据空前的“I had never considered before”可知,作者以前没有考虑过怎样使用轮椅,因此他使用起来比较笨拙(awkward)。6.根据空前的“as soon as I sat down”和空后的“made the chair begin to roll”以及常识可知,当作者坐下之后,他身体的重量(weight)使得轮椅开始动了起来。7.根据“the chair begin to roll”可知,作者一坐下,椅子就开始动,说明它的轮子没有被锁住(locked)。

67、8.联系空后的footrest可知,作者不知道该把脚(feet)放到哪里。9.由上文中的“I wonder where to put my8 ”可知,作者最后把脚放到了恰当的地方(place)。10.作者坐上轮椅之后,才好好地看了这个自己将要在上面度过几个小时的交通工具(transportation) .11.根据文章最后一段首句中的“My wheelchair experiment was soon.”可知,作者只是在进行一次乘坐轮椅的实验(experiment)。12.联系空后的restful可知,作者在轮椅上想找一个让自己感觉比较舒服的(comfortable)位置。13.与前面的res

68、tful和comfortable呼应,此处指的是他甚至(even)想让其他人推(pushed)着轮椅走,从而使自己坐得舒服。even表示程度,指在原来的基础上更进一步。14.参见上题解析。15.根据空前的look around可知,作者意识到(realized)他必须自己推动轮椅。16.根据空前的“My hands started to ache”和空后的“the heavy metal wheels”可知,因为作者不断地转动金属轮子让轮椅向前走,所以手开始疼了。turn在此表示“转动”。17.根据上文中“My hands started to ache as I16 the heavy me

69、tal wheels”可知,控制轮椅的前进方向(direction)不是一件容易的(easy)事情。18.参见上题解析。19.根据上文中的“for several hours”和下文中的“It made a deep impression on me. ”可知,作者的这次体验很快就结束 (finished) 了。20.根据空后的“.both physical and mental, that disabled people must overcome.”可知,几个小时的“残疾”对于我来说是身体上和心理上的双重挑战(challenges),而残疾人却必须要克服它们。 7答案及解析：答案：to o

70、rder; with; waiting; more convenient; puzzled; nodded; a; were filled; naturally; who解析：1. to order考查非谓语动词。动词不定式在此处表目的。2.with考査介词。with表示使用。3. waiting考査非谓语动词。动词wait与主语I之间为主动关系。4. more convenient考查形容词的比较级。根据后面的介词than可知此处用形容词的比较级。5.puzzled 考査形容词。修饰眼神、表情等名词用-ed形式的形容词。6.nodded考查时态。根据and后面的said可知。7.a考査冠词。

71、in a hurry为固定短语。8.were filled考査时态和语态。be filled with是固定短语,根据语境可知为一般过去时态。9.naturally考査副词。用副词修饰形容词。10.who考査定语从句。先行词her son,指人并且非限制性定语从句中缺主语。 8答案及解析：答案：Dear editor, Im writing to tell you something about how we students use the Internet.
