16、ience.BOne of the more memorable teachers I had in high school was not a teacher by trade. He was an employee of a local nuclear power plant whod been called to fill in when, at the start of my senior year, our physics teacher abruptly quit. The guy looked like Ned Flanders (a fictional character in
17、 the television series The Simpsons), which was funny because when we heard wed have a substitute, my friend Ben randomly commented, “Watch, hes going to look just like Ned Flanders.” That was a memorable thing.Physics was not for me. It was a fairly challenging subject I was already shaky in mathem
18、atical confidence and the lectures made it more so. I really tried. But I just did not get it. I wasnt even sure what exactly we were studying. It just seemed hard.Im sure Nuclear Ned Flanders, as he became known, was great at running power plants, but, objectively speaking, he was not a very good t
19、eacher. I eventually dropped the class, and then avoided the sciences for all of college.But the funny thing is, Im actually thankful things turned out this way. It means that as I step stealthily into midlife, there is a whole world of truly interesting study Im just discovering. Physics, it turns
20、out, includes the study of things like space, time, and how the entire universe works. It simply does not get a whole lot more interesting than that! And I appreciate wrestling with big, abstract ideas now. If I considered myself schooled, Im not sure I would have felt like I had to return to those
21、concepts at this point. Im so glad I have.The point of my story is obvious: that every single person who stands at the front of a classroom matters. A ton.24. Why did the author have a deep first impression of the substitute teacher?A. He was a nuclear expert. B. He behaved like Ned Flanders. C. A c
22、oincidence happened around his arrival. D. There was a similarity between him and Ben.25. What can we learn about the authors academic performance at high school?A. He quit maths finally. B.

24、ysics lessonC Parents complain that children outgrow their clothes so fast it costs a fortune (2,000 on average per year), going through seven different sizes in the space of their first two years. There could now be a solution: a new high-tech fabric (织物) that expands as the wearer grows.Ryan Yasin
25、, who is studying for a masters degree at the London Royal College of Art, came up with the idea after purchasing clothes for his newborn nephew, only to find the baby had outgrown them by the time they arrived. in addition to the expense, Yasin was also concerned about the environmental influence.
26、The process of making and distributing just l kilogram, or 2.2 pounds, of new fabric results in an average of 23 kg, or 50 pounds, of greenhouse gases. To make matters worse, the “fast fashion” trend worldwide has caused garment production to double since 2000, with more than half of the clothing en
27、ding up in landfills annually! To find a solution, Yasin used his previous experience designing satellites to invent a way to fold synthetic (合成的) material such that it stretches in all directions.The first design, a pair of tiny pants, not only fit his baby nephew, but also his 2-year-old niece! Af
28、ter spending a lot of time perfecting the process and testing the design, Yasin is now awaiting a patent for his design and seeking investors (投资者) to bring the clothing to market.For his new line of Petit Pli, the designer plans to produce outerwear that is both waterproof (防水的) and windproof. The
29、clothing will be machine washable and fold small enough to fit in a jacket or pant pocket. Yasin plans to establish a take-back system so that worn-out Petit Pli clothing can be recycled into new fabric.The designer does not expect parents to dress their children only in his expandable clothing, par
30、ticularly since the current designs use synthetic materials. But he plans to soon produce the wear in “a wider variety of garments” and hopes that Petit Pli will be able to have an “influence on over-consumption.” We sure hope he succeeds!28. What inspired Yasins invention?A. His unhappy experience.
31、 B. His great expense on clothes. C. His nephews piled-up clothes. D. His desire for a masters degree. 29. What can we learn about Yasins design?A. It has got a patent. B. It has come on the market. C. It has been tested successful. D. It has attracted a lot of investors.30. What will be one advanta
32、ge of the new outerwear?A. It is space-saving. B. It needs no washing. C. It can never be worn out. D. It comes in various styles.31. Why does Yasin suggest a limited use of the expandable clothing?A. Its cost is too high. B. It lacks stylish designs. C. It is not easily recycled. D. Its materials a
33、re not natural.DAlong with my co-founder, I run Harrys, a mens grooming (美容) company, and my wife Lacey is a senior writer and editor at The Hollywood Reporter. Our careers are important to us. So we always agreed that when it came time to build our family, we wanted to co-parent. In theory, it soun
34、ded like a lot of fun!So far, it has been. But as Ive learned since the birth of my not theoretical daughter, Chloe, its also really hard.To be clear, becoming a parent is much, much harder for my wife. But Lacey does have one thing that Ive struggled to find: a space to talk about balancing work wi
35、th parenthood. Due in part to the physical, mental and emotional tolls (损伤) of pregnancy and childbirth, moms often find community in those shared experiences. In addition, there are blogs, books and resources for mothers returning to work; for better or for worse, the demands of raising a baby are
36、often assumed by women.But there are plenty of working dads out there, too. In fact, I feel if Im struggling with this whole working dad thing, then other guys must be struggling, too. If Im craving a space to share experiences and normalize true co-parenthood, I have to believe Im not the only one.
37、Dealing with the problem at a macro (大的) level is hard. But I do have the power to make real change within Harrys. My co-founder and I want to make sure that everyone on our team feels 100% supported, as employees and as parents. To that end, were excited to offer a new, progressive policy: 16 weeks
38、 of paid parental leave, taken any time within the first year, to every person on our team.Some people might decide to take the full 4 months and others wont. Thats OK. The goal is not to dictate right or wrong, but to offer our team real flexibility and control. Because all parents deserve the reso
39、urces and tools to make the best decisions for their families; to be great coworkers, and also great parents.32. What is bothering the author?A. His wife is fully occupied. B. His daughter is troublesome.C. He is failing to balance work and life. D. He can find nowhere to seek child-raising advice.3
40、3. Which of the following would the author agree with?A. Its easier for a woman to be a parent. B. Kids benefit a lot from co-parenting.C. Women suffer a lot from parenthood. D. Its womens duty to take care of kids.34. What does the underlined word “craving” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Using. B. Desiring
41、. C. Creating. D. Saving.35. Whats the aim of the new policy?A. To promote equality. B. To free working dads. C. To nurse great coworkers. D. To encourage true co-parenthood.E School bus drivers transport kids to and from school. 36 Along with their transportation duties, bus drivers commonly assume
42、 other roles in the school district.The most obvious responsibility of a school bus driver is to transport students to and from school or activities in a timely and safe manner. This includes showing up to each home or stopping at the scheduled time and informing parents of any changes in pick-up or
43、 drop-off times. The driver also has to drive safely in all types of weather. 37 School bus drivers not only have to drive safely and watch the road, but they also normally have responsibility for the conduct of students on their buses. 38 Monitoring student behavior and stopping any horseplay are i
44、mmediate duties. In some cases, students are assigned (分配) seats in the front of the bus if they have regular behavioral problems. 39 This includes regular checks on brakes, tires, turning signals and mechanical (机械的) equipment. School districts often have regular daily checklists whereby drivers mu
45、st confirm that they have checked on various safety items. If problems are detected with any of these components, the bus is normally taken in for repair work and the driver uses an alternative bus until his normal one is ready to go again.Each day, school bus drivers have to log (记录) a variety of a
46、ctivities. 40 They also log the miles they drive on their routes. Additionally, drivers make notes when fuel is filled and the amount. These daily logs help ensure accuracy in routes.A. Its extremely important.B. They are usually tasked with clean-up duty.C. Its really hard to control kids on-bus be
47、havior.D. They report the number of riders on their buses.F. They also take school sports teams and other groups on trips.F. Regular drivers are responsible for monitoring the safety of their buses.G. Buses have large mirrors over the front window that give drivers the ability to see the entire bus.
48、完形填空The end of the school year has different meanings for different people. For those who graduate its the time to switch from the education system into the 41 world. For those still in education, two months 42 holidays are waiting. Waiting for many, but not for all. Some 43 school doubtful and worr

What you think is a failure can be turned into a new beginning. Maybe you were 47 a dream which was impo
50、sed (强加于) upon you by the outside world. Attending the best high schools and colleges and graduating with the best marks sure is a great start. But it is not 47 for a bright future.You love music? Think of an orchestra (管弦乐团). It has a conductor, whose duty is to unite and 49 the musicians. He has t
51、o be able to play many instruments to be able to 50 many instruments, but there would be no way to 51 the sound of an orchestra all by himself. He needs different musicians.What is important is to 52 your role. You might have dreamed of being the boss, but to be a 53 boss is a far worse choice than
52、to be a good employee. Every company, just like an orchestra, needs all kinds of talent to be 54 .Do not 55 .

61、 the hills. Before he left, he gave Wylie to two kind young men who lived in the nearest town; he knew they would be good to her.
