Fr the past 40 years I’ve dne the same thing ─ teaching. We knw why kids drp ut frm schl. It’s pverty, lw attendance, r bad classmate influences. But ne f the things is the value and imprtance f human cnnectin, relatinships.
A clleague said t me ne time, “They dn’t pay me t like the kids. They pay me t teach a lessn. That’s all.” Well, I said t her, “Yu knw, kids dn’t learn frm peple they dn’t like. Yur year is ging t be lng and arduus, dear.”
I have had classes that were s lw that I cried. I wndered, hw am I ging t take this grup in nine mnths frm where they are t where they need t be? And it was difficult. And s─I gave a quiz, 20 questins. A student missed 18. I put a “+2” n his paper and a big smiley face. He said, “Ms. Piersn, is this an F?” I said, “Yes.” He said, “Then why’d yu put a smiley face?” I said, “Because yu gt tw right. Yu didn’t miss them all. And when we review this, wn’t yu d better?” He said, “Yes, ma’am, I can d better.”
Yu see, “-18” sucks (抽取) all the life ut f yu. “+2” said, “I am nt all bad.”
Can we stand t have mre relatinships? Of curse nt. And yu knw yur tughest kids are never absent.
Teaching and learning shuld bring jy. Every child deserves a champin, and an adult wh will never give up n them shuld believe they becme the best that they can pssibly be.
24. Accrding t the authr, sme students left schl when yung mainly because .
A. they culd nt affrd the educatin

A. he felt hurt by the teacher B. he felt ashamed at the result
C. he felt pleased t have passed the exam D. he felt dubtful abut what the teacher meant
27. Where is this passage prbably taken frm?

An increasing number f US interstates are set t try ut a Purdue University inventin, which is a sensr(传感器) that allws cncrete t “talk” . Prf. Luna Lu, the acting head f Purdue’s Lyles Schl f Civil
Engineering, and her lab started develping the technlgy in 2017, when the premature failure f newly repaired cncrete rad surfaces, due t insufficient knwledge f cncrete’s strength levels, frequently caused traffic jams. Traffic jams waste 4 billin hurs and 3 billin gallns f gas n a yearly basis. The Indiana Department f Transprtatin (INDOT) requested help in getting rid f the situatin.
Traditinal methds the industry has used fr mre than a century call fr testing large samples f cncrete at a lab r an n-site facility. Based n the data, engineers culd estimate the strength level that a particular cncrete mix will reach at a cnstructin site. Althugh these tests can be well understd by the industry, differences between lab and utdr cnditins can lead t inaccurate estimates due t the different cement cmpsitin and temperatures f the surrunding area. With the technlgy Lu and her team have invented, engineers n lnger have t rely n them. Instead, they can directly mnitr the fresh cncrete and accurately measure many f its prperties at nce.
The sensr cmmunicates with engineers via a smartphne app exactly when the rad is strng enugh t handle heavy traffic. Cnstructin wrkers can start the installatin (安装) f the sensrs by casually thrwing them nt the grund f the cncrete frmwrk and cvering them with cncrete. Next, they cnnect the sensr cable t simple device that autmatically starts recrding data. Using the app, wrkers can receive infrmatin n real-time changes in the cncrete strength fr as lng as the strength data is required.
The manufacturing f cement is respnsible fr 8% f the wrld’s carbn ftprint. Cnstructin cdes call fr a higher prprtin f cement cntent in cncrete mixes t ensure required strength levels. Lu’s team, hwever, fund that t much cement culd lead t premature cracks (裂缝) in rad surfaces and then wrked hard t achieve a slutin that imprved the design f cncrete mixes based n data cllected by the sensr. It reduces 20% t 25% the amunt f cement used in cncrete mixes. “In the field f civil engineering, if we dn’t make an impact n the wrld, there wn’t be a wrld t wrry abut,” Lu said.
28. Fr what help did INDOT ask Prf. Luna Lu?
A. Imprving the cncrete rad’s sustainability.
B. Teaching them abut knwledge f cncrete rads.
C. Establishing reliable public transprtatin in America.
D. Enhancing peple’s awareness f energy cnservatin.
29. What des the underlined wrd “them” in Paragraph 2 refer t?
A. Cncrete samples and engineers ’ estimates.
B. The cement cmpsitin and lcal temperatures.
C. Accurate measurements f cncrete’s prperties.
D. The differences between lab and utdr cnditins.
30. What can we say abut the new inventin?
A. It’s pwer-saving. B. It’s user-friendly.
C. It has a reasnable price. D. It prves stable and durable.
31. Hw did Lu influence the wrld by adjusting the cement?
A. She has raised the bar f the cnstructin industry.
B. She has remarkably reduced greenhuse emissins.
C. She has prmted the imprtance f civil engineering.
D. She has significantly decreased the ccurrence f traffic accidents.

In the histry f Majr League Baseball (MLB) ，varius eras (时代) have defined the game, frm the lw-scring dead-ball era t the mdern live-ball era, fllwed by the regrettable sterid (类固醇) era. It seems that the histry f this great American pastime is being rewritten nce again.
Based n mre than 100,000 games and 220,000 individual hits, a new study has fund that ver 500 hme runs (本垒打) since 2010 can be put dwn t higher-than-average temperatures resulting frm climate change — with several hundred mre hme runs per seasn t cme if glbal warming cntinues. “There’s a clear physical mechanism at play — warmer temperatures reduce the density f air and a batted ball is cnsequently ging t fly farther n a warm day,” said senir authr Justin Mankin.
The researchers als accunted fr a hst f ptential variables, such as the use f perfrmance-enhancing drugs, the different dimensins f stadiums, the cnstructin f bats and ball, and ther technlgy intended fr batters ’ perfrmance enhancement. The fact is that these variables dn’t vary day t day r they wn’t be affected ifa day is unreasnably warm r cld.
This study is far frm the first time that this idea f htter weather juicing hme run statistics has been prpsed. During a bradcast, Tim McCarver, a majr league catcher, nce stated that climate change culd be impacting the lng ball by “making the air thin” . Hwever, the cmment was nt well received at the time with a well-knwn sprts website calling the thery “ne f the stupidest things ever spken n a televisin bradcast” .
When examining each majr league ballpark in the US t measure hw the average number f hme runs per year culd rise, they fund that the pen-air Wrigley Field — which hsts nly a limited number f night games due t the lcal law — wuld experience mre than 15 hme runs per seasn. Hwever, the rfed Trpicana Field wuld remain the level f ne hme run r less n matter hw ht it gets utside.
“What these results make clear is that climate change is fundamentally ging t transfrm nearly all aspects
f sciety, frm cultural tuchstnes like baseball t basic human well-being,” Mankin said. “Nthing can
”
escape
.
32. What’s the fcus f the new study?
A. The climatic cnditins ideal fr hme runs.
B. The impact f MLB events n climate change.
C. The crrelatin between warm air and hme runs.
D. The physics behind lng-distance batted baseballs.
33. What is the implicatin f researchers ’ taking accunt f ptential baseball-related factrs?
A. Batters ’perfrmance can be imprved in varius ways.
B. The cunt f hme runs varies slightly n a daily basis.
C. Baseball data cllectin is a cmplicated task.
D. Their findings are bjective and reliable.
34. Which f the fllwing might be Tim McCarver’s remark n the new study?
A. It was well-designed but prly cnducted.
B. It’s been prven effective in studying ball games.
C. It prvided slid evidence fr his previus claim.
D. It was a gd start but the statistics were limited.
35. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. The Climate-Ball Era f MLB Culd Be Dawning
B. Hw MLB Shuld Respnd t the Rising Temperatures
C. The American Culture Is Underging a New Revlutin
D. Hw Climate Change Is Shaping Americans ’ Leisure Activities

The ther day, I was driving hme, a little upset because I hated wrking at the weekend. On the way, I decided t grab sme veggies in the nearby greengrcer’s. Since there was still thin ice n the rad, I tk a glance at the rear mirrr t make sure n pedestrians r vehicles came clse, and slwly steered the wheel t the right. Then ut f any f my expectancy my car bumped int an electric bike, giving ut a harsh metallic clash. I cllected myself and saw ut f the windw screen a by lean n ne side f the bike, ne ft ff the grund.
All f a sudden, a familiar scene flashed acrss my mind.
When I was in high schl, I had fun riding my bike alng the cuntry rad n sweltering and bring afternns during summer hlidays. Smetimes I carried my little brther t the nly grcery stre in the neighbrhd where we culd buy ur favrite ice cream. Once we had an argument abut what t buy. Seeing him leave the stre in a temper, I jumped n the bike and tried t talk him int ging back. Suddenly, he gave me a push and I inclined twards the middle f the rad when a mtrbike came in my face. I fell n the grund befre I culd see anything clearly. Luckily, I didn’t get hurt but still culdn’t rise t my feet. The mtrist, a middle-aged man, ignring his trn jeans, shed t check n me, “Are yu kay? Yur leg? Yur ft?”
“I am all right, but...” I stared at him, terrified because I was sure he wuld ask fr “big” sum f mney fr damage. Instead, he just let me g despite his wife’s prtests. Guilty as I was, I was happy that I was spared. I was really grateful t the man fr frgiving a silly kid wh had made such a big mistake invluntarily.
