I am in venth-grade language arts class in an upstairs room in the old red-brick junior high school
building. The afternoon sun streams through high windows that face the playground. It is the day I remember hearing this phra for the first time: “the little / lame balloonman.”
It‟s from “in Just-”, the E. E. Cummings poem we are reading. Mr. Katz is trying to loon up our adolescent imaginations to the point where we might appreciate figurative (比喻) language. There are phras like “the world is mud- / luscious,” and then “puddle-wonderful.” Something begins to grow in me as a reader: the mixture of descriptive words and words expressing action.
Words would be and do what they describe! I‟d like to think Mr. Katz was conspiring (密谋) with the poem, sun, spring and kid energy, not just a lesson plan. From then on, I was a new reader and writer. I look back on that poem as a starting line. I heard the call to poetry.
I would e “in Just-” in nearly every poem in my language arts life. It was in my very old “A Pocket Book of Modern V er”, edited by Oscar Williams and in “An Approach to Poetry”, by X.J Kennedy. I began to understand that a poet is describing the world, experience, or concepts in a way that antidotes (对抗) dullness, commonness, and indifference. “Poetry provides the one permissible way of saying one thing and meaning another,” Robert Frost explained.
Reading poems became a daily practice. I collect my own favorite expressions of life‟s joys and suff
erings. I‟m fond of Billy Collins‟ view: “The history of poetry is the only surviving history we have of human emotion. It is the history of the human heart. There is no other one.”
The special poems always lead me back to my memory of a sunny classroom in junior high school when Mr. Katz carefully brought us into a new field––a moment that got me out of middle school mundanity (乏味). Even the dance on Friday and my drum lesson on Wednesday afternoon paled in comparison. I was addicted to poetry.
24. What is Mr. Katz trying to do in his class?
A. Fire up students‟ interest in poetry.
B. Finish his lesson plan on time.
C. Teach students to write poems.
D. U great words to express himlf.
25. What does Robert Frost think of poetry?
A. It makes the theme obvious.
B. It talks about practical concepts.
C. It carries underlying meaning.
D. It allows dullness and commonness.
26. How did the author find his /her middle school?
A. The dance on Friday was quite boring.
B. The language arts lesson was incomparable.
C. The school life remained generally the same.
D. The drum lesson on Wednesday was a piece of cake.
27. What‟s the best title of the article?
A. My junior school life.
B. Mr. Katz‟s arts language lessons.
C. My language arts life.
D. My love of poetry.

There‟s nothing quite like new clothes, is there? The UK certainly loves them. According to a report by the Environmental Audit Committee (EAC), the UK consumes five times more clothes today than it did in the 1980s. That‟s more than any other nation in Europe and ris to around 26.7kgs per person. This results in 235 million garments going to landfill––victims of fast fashion.
Fast fashion is defined as an accelerated fashion business model involving incread numbers of new fashion collections every year, quick turnarounds and lower prices, according to the EAC. Globalization means that attire (服装) is made in countries where labor is cheaper. This saving is pasd on to consumers, who then consider the garments they own disposable––easily replaceable with something more on-trend. And that creates problems.
First, there‟s the environmental cost. Producing any kind of textile (织物) costs resources. For example, synthetic fibers, which are made from plastic, have a larger carbon footprint than natural o
nes. Natural fibers, although more carbon-efficient, still require more water to grow. And further resources are ud as the cloth is dyed (染色), made into clothing and transported to retail (零售) for sale. Secondly, the fast-fashion industry is under pressure to put the latest trending items on shelves fast, which can lead to workers being exploited (剥削) and forced to work in poor working conditions. In countries such as Bangladesh, Ethiopia and the Philippines, workers are paid wages that are insufficient to live on. One worker in Ethiopia told the BBC that they had to deal with intolerable conditions, such as delayed overtime payments, verbal (语言的) abu, and dirty toilets.
So what can be done in the UK to reduce clothes waste? The EAC has recommended eighteen improvements to the UK government, from increasing tax on purchas to fund recycling centres to introducing more wing lessons in schools, encouraging a make-do-and-mend attitude when things become worn out.
What can we do? “Shop cond-hand”,recommends Tolly Gregory, an ethical fashion blogger. Kristabel Plummer, a London-bad fashion blogger, who spoke to the BBC, also recommends “looking for quality” and “longevity”. So keep an eye out for durable, hardy clothes that resists wear and tear.
28. Which of the following statements is not true about “fast fashion”?
A. More and more new clothes are made every year.
B. Fashionable dress are worn by customers for long.
国务委员是什么意思C. Consumers don‟t have to pay high prices for new fashion.
D. Fast fashion caus too much waste.
29. How many problems with fast fashion are mentioned in this article?
A. One.
B. Two.
C. Three.
D. Four.
30. Which of the following may contribute to reducing clothes waste?
A. Increasing tax on retail llers.
B. Throwing away clothes soon after they are worn out.
C. Producing low-priced clothes and fast-renewed clothes.
D. Teaching students how to w in schools.
31. What is the author‟s attitude toward fast fashion?
A. Critical.
B. Tolerable.
C. Approving.
授权委托书英文D. Doubtful.

Scientists have created a skin patch (贴片) that can communicate touch virtually. The soft wireless device sticks to the skin and produces vibrations (震动). Its creators hope it could one day be ud to help people bring touch online, in phone calls and games.
The patch links up to devices like smartphones, enabling urs to nd nsations to the wearer. By making u of near-field communication, en in electronic payment in smartphones, its designers were able to make the piece of tech wireless and battery-free. A t of 32 actuators (制动器) help to copy the nsation of touch on the wearer‟s skin, while a link allows urs to adjust the frequency and amplitude (振幅) of each actuator.
“We specially made the designs to increa the nsory perception (感知) of the vibratory force pasd to the skin,”explained John A. Rogers, professor of Materials Science and engineering and Biomedical Engineering at Northwestern University.
Rogers, who is also professor of Neurological Surgery at the Feinberg School of Medicine, said in a statement that people have tried to make similar technology, but they involved problems like wires or batteries.
“We feel that it‟s a good starting point that will go up naturally to full-body systems and hundreds or thousands of parate, programmable actuators,”he said. “We are expanding the boundaries and capabilities of virtual reality.
Rogers said the equipment “could be very powerful for social interactions, clinical medicine and appli
cations that we cannot conceive of today.
“Virtual reality is a new rising area of technology,” Rogers added. “At prent, we‟re just using our eyes and our ears as the basis for tho experiences. The community has been comparatively slow to take advantage of the body‟s largest organ: the skin. Our n of touch provides the most profound, deepest, emotional connection between people.”
32. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. How the skin patch works.
B. What the skin patch is made up of.
biology是什么意思C. What the skin patch looks like.
D. Why the skin patch is developed.
33. What does the underlined part “conceive of” in the last but one paragraph mean?
A. Adopt.

牺牲的意思
B. Prevent.
C. Abandon.
D. Imagine.
34. What does Rogers‟ statement in the last paragraph show?
A. He worries about people‟s emotional connection between people.
B. He is doubtful about more virtual reality experiences.
C. He expects the further development of virtual reality.
D. He is curious about the community‟s long-term planning.
35. What is the purpo of this article?
A. To persuade.
B. To inform.
C. To argue.
D. To adverti.

The oldest known maps for places here on Earth are more than 4,000 years old. But they have some characteristics that modern mapmakers recognize. A map of the Mesopotamians city of Nuzi draws a river with a curving triple line (三角曲线). 36. It even has markings for three of the four basic directions: North, East, West.
The World Map Takes Shape
In ancient Greece, scholars had reached a conclusion about Earth‟s shape. They saw ships disappear over the horizon (地平线). They obrved stars in the night sky change positions depending on the obrver‟s location. 37.
Greek mathematician Ptolemy recorded coordinates (坐标) of about 8,000 places in Europe, Asia an
d Africa. 38. But the maps had a lot missing too. Explorers had not yet en the Americas. They hadn‟t visited Australia or the southern part of Africa.
Invention and Exploration
Several inventions helped Europeans add to the picture. By the cond century BCE, people in China
