Wow！Suddenly，Steve got it：someone cared about him！He couldn't believe his ears．
He looked up at Miss White in wonder．From her eager eyes，he could feel the warmth and the real care．On the way back home，those words constantly echoed in his mind．When he got home，for the first time in his life，he didn't storm out of the room for the woods．He seated himself before the desk and placed his schoolbooks on it．Determined，he turned the first page open．
The following Monday，Miss White gave another test．Spreading the paper carefully on his desk，Steve hurried through the test and was the first to hand in his paper．Obviously puzzled，Miss White began to look it over．In shock，she glanced up at Steve，then down，then up．Suddenly，her face broke into a bright smile．“The smartest boy had just passed his first test！” she announced，proud and excited！At her words，Steve cracked a big smile，with his eyes sparkling with joy and gratitude．He knew that was all because of a teacher who cared about him．

M：How do you get your hair to be so beautiful？Do you use certain products？Or maybe it's your diet？
W：I don't do anything special．I wash it in a shower like everyone else．It must be a gift I have always had．
Text 2
W：I'm sick of using my mobile phone．It operates so slowly and it consumes a lot of electricity．
M：It takes hours to get my phone fully charged．I'll buy a home-made mobile phone this time．I heard they're good．
Text 3
M：Err．．．Ada，you look good in the shirt．
W：Are you sure？But I feel I look a bit strange．
M：Hmm．．．maybe you should try something less tight．
W：I really need to lose weight．
Text 4
M：Jane，suppose you lost all your money while taking a vacation overseas - what would you do？
W：Well，I guess I'd sell my watch or computer or do some odd jobs until I could afford a return plane ticket．
Text 5
W：Can I help you，sir？
M：Yes，I've been a bit careless and left my driver's license on a train．
W：Oh，dear．Well，let's take some details and see what we can do．
Text 6
M：Have you heard of Zoom？It is a video conference program．
W：Is that the one where you can call people's telephone numbers？
M：No．That one is called Skype．Zoom is more like Google Messenger or Facebook Messenger．
You can only talk to others through the same program．
W：Is it expensive？
M：Well，I use the free version．I only talk to two people at a time，so there's no time limit．However，if you talk to three people，you can only speak for 40 minutes．If I had more people，I would definitely buy a monthly plan，though．It's a great deal and tool for professionals．
Text 7
W：Mark，do you like reading news on the Internet？
M：Not really．I used to like watching news on TV．But now I usually read USA Today and The New York Times to learn about important events around the world．
W：Why don't you read news online？Don't you think it's more convenient？
M：Well，there are just too many untrue news stories on the Internet．So do you like reading online news stories？
W：Yes．But I just use the major news sites．I dislike untrue news stories，too．I do think reporters have the biggest responsibility to reduce made-up stories．
M：Really？Don't you think news reporting has its limits in its ability to prevent the spread of fake news？
W：So what's your opinion？
M：I think technology companies such as Facebook and Google and the government should be responsible．
Text 8
W：So what did you do yesterday？
M：I just stayed at home and watched a video．
W：How was it？
M：Actually，it was great．It's called Big Night．Do you know it？
W：I think I've heard the title before．
M：Well，it is set in the 1950s in the US and it is about two Italian brothers who live in New York．
They own an Italian restaurant，called Paradise，which isn't doing very well．
W：What's the problem？
M：The two brothers serve the best Italian food．But the customers just want pasta and pizza，so their food doesn't help them get customers．
W：And then？
M：Well，their friend，Peter，offers them an idea to attract more customers．He suggests they invite Bob Dylan，a famous jazz musician，to have dinner at their restaurant．
W：Because Peter thinks it will be an advertisement．
M：Yes，so the two brothers start to prepare for this Big Night．What happens next is very interesting and I suggest you watch it yourself．
W：OK，you have successfully aroused my interest now．
Text 9
M：Hi，professor．I was hoping I could have a moment of your time if you're not too busy．I'm having some problems getting started on my paper and hoping you could give me some advice on how to begin．
W：Sure．Can you remind me what your topic is？
M：The general topic I chose is aesthetics（美学），but that's as far as I've got．I don't really know where to go from there．
W：Yeah，that's much too large a topic．You really need to narrow it down in order to make it more accessible．Otherwise，you'll be writing a book．
M：Exactly．That's what I wanted to ask you about．I was hoping it would be possible for me to change topics．I'm really more interested in nature than beauty
W：I'm afraid you have to stick to the assigned topic．Still，since you're interested in nature，then that certainly can be worked into your paper．We've talked about Hume before in class，right？
M：Oh yeah，he's the philosopher who wrote about where our ideas of beauty come from．
W：Exactly．I suggest you go to the library and get a copy of his biography．Start from there．
M：Great．Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions，professor．
W：If there's anything else you need，please come to see me in my office at any time．

I'm here with Jim Jefferies at the Center for Learning．Jim set up the center 15 years ago after his sister，Emma，was in a car accident．Jim said that Emma was hurt very badly．While she was recovering，it was difficult to get her education．He decided to help teach her while she was in the hospital．Jim told us in the interview that after his sister recovered，he wanted to continue the program．Jim then bought this building and began offering schooling services to the kids who could not go to school normally．He told us that many of the adults who work at the Center for Learning are volunteers．They do not make any money，but most of them have been working since the center was started．Jim's inspiring work has helped hundreds of kids continue their studies during tough times．The gift of giving a child a sense of a normal life is important，especially after a terrible event．Jim's office is filled with thank-you pictures and letters from those who he has helped．Jim also told us that the Center for Learning just received a big gift from a local businessman．The gift consisted of 30 computers．I can barely express the words to describe Jim's work．I cannot imagine the hard work he's done and what he has given up to help others．I hope all of you viewers and those in the news room appreciate how amazing Jim is．大连市2021-2022学年高二下学期期末考试

There was a strange stillness．Where had the birds gone？It was a spring without bird voices．Only silence lay over the fields and woods．．．
Rachel Carson was a scientist，but these lines from her 1962 book Silent Spring show her talent as a writer．By imagining a world without birds，she aimed to warn the scientific community and the general public of the damaging effects of human activity on ecosystems —in particular，of the harmful use of pesticides（杀 虫剂），such as DDT．She believed that the chemical industry was knowingly causing harm to plants，animals and even humans，and wished to see pesticides used in a more responsible，limited and carefully monitored way．
Silent Spring contains a lot of scientific research and case studies，which proves some programmes did nothing to reduce the problems they were originally designed to solve．And the 50 or so pages at the end of the book list Carson's sources，showing how thorough and precise she was as a scientist．
Carson's message has caused a great increase in environmental awareness：the use of DDT was banned and the Environmental Protection Agency（EPA）was established in the US．Silent Spring was therefore regarded as a milestone in the launch of green movement in the Western world．
Silent Spring was not，however，received positively by everyone．Though supported by most scientists，the book quickly became a target for critics in the pesticide industry．They said Carson did not understand the science because she was a marine biologist rather than a chemist．Some also said that her work was more emotional than scientific．These were attempts to damage Carson's reputation and stop her work from influencing public policy，but she remained determined to stand by her research．
Personally，I enjoyed Carson's book．Today，more than 50 years after it was published，the voice of Silent Spring is still ringing loud and clear．
24．Why did Carson describe a world without birds？
A．To create a poetic atmosphere． B．To show Carson's talent as a writer．
C．To raise environmental awareness． D．To arouse readers' interest in science．
25．What do we know about Carson？
A．She is a committed scientist． B．She is an uninfluential biologist．
C．She is a well-recognized chemist． D．She is a productive writer．
26．What was the possible reason why Carson's book became a target for critics？
A．She couldn't control her emotion． B．She went against science．
C．She lacked scientific spirit． D．She threatened their profit．
27．What is the text？
A．A book review． B．A news journal．
C．A research article． D．A personal profile．
C
It shouldn't come as news to anyone that the planet is suffering a climate emergency．And the fashion industry certainly plays its part in this．In 2020，the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change（IPCC）calculated that the fashion industry produces ten per cent of annual global carbon dioxide emission and is estimated to use around 1.5 trillion litres of water every year．The industry's environmental impact is greatly worsened by fast fashion which releases hundreds of new styles every week，leading to overproduction and overconsumption．But how do we solve this issue？One answer lies in the new generation of made-to-order brands making their way into the mainstream．
These brands make clothes only as and when they're ordered．It's a far more sustainable approach，and because there's no overproduction，less unwanted stock（库存）ends up in landfills．It also promotes a slower fashion model，with pieces taking between three weeks and three months to arrive once purchased．Its focus is on creating special，well-made pieces for consumers to treasure for years to come．
MaisonCléo is such a clothing company，taking limited orders each week which are then handmade and delivered in approximately three weeks．And it advocates for fair and reasonable pricing．Thus it attracts loyal customer bases with their social and environmental responsibility，perfect craftsmanship and evergreen styles．
With made-to-order brands rapidly growing in popularity，it begs the question—-could this be the start of a new，environmentally responsible era？I hope so．With overproduction and overconsumption fueling a real climate crisis，the made-to-order clothing could be the future of fashion our planet badly needs．
28．Which is the problem with fast fashion？
A．It slows economic growth． B．It pollutes water resources．
C．It results in overpopulation． D．It causes overconsumption．
29．What do we know about the products of made-to-order brands？
A．They promise high quality． B．They are delivered fast．
C．They end up in landfills． D．They are produced in quantity．
30．Why does the author mention “MaisonCléo” in paragraph 3？
A．To explain a rule． B．To present an example．
C．To list a fact． D．To give an exception．
31．What is the suitable title of the passage？
A．Climate Crisis and Fast Fashion
B．The Development of Made-To-Order Brands
C．Could Made-To-Order be the Future of Fashion？
D．How to Reduce Carbon Dioxide Emissions？
D
Mariana Bechtel isn't exactly someone who avoids stress．Throughout her career，she has pursued high-pressure management jobs：“I'm hard core，” says the 44-year-old wife and mother of two．“I wanted to be on top at work，and I wanted to be a great mom” - one who could attend baseball games，drive carpool and help with homework even after an hour-long commute（通勤）on workdays，more often than not，with a 5 a．m．marathon-training run．
However，after months of losing sleep，dropping weight and feeling pushed to lose her mind，Mariana Bechtel decided she had to address her stress -and turn it to her advantage．The new job she recently switched to still has its share of pressure，but with more support from her boss and more flexibility in her schedule，she says she feels great．
Contrary to popular belief，stress doesn't have to be a soul-sucking，health-damaging force．But few people know how to transform their stress into the positive kind that helps them reach their goals．
A recent research confirms that gaining control over job demands，doing work with meaning and purpose and enjoying support and encouragement from co-workers are all linked to beneficial stress．Simply changing attitudes and expectations about stress - through coaching，training or peer-support groups-can also develop the constructive kind of stress．
“Stress is paradoxical，” says Alia Crum，a research scholar．On one hand，it can be the thing that hurts us most．On the other，it's fundamental to psychological and physical growth．The attitude that we view and approach stress will shift the outcome．"
32．What is Mariana Bechtel's new job like？
A．It is health-damaging． B．It is physically demanding．
C．It has little stress． D．It has flexible worktime．
33．What does the author want to show by telling the story of Mariana Bechtel？
A．Stress can be turned beneficial． B．Too much stress is harmful to health．
C．It's hard to balance work and family． D．Every job has its own advantage．
34．How can we make stress to our advantage according to the recent research？
A．By refusing the boss's demands． B．By taking up a meaningful job．
C．By supporting co-workers． D．By sticking to our attitude to stress．
35．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 5 mean？
A．Stress has far-reaching effects． B．Stress has several disadvantages．
C．Stress has two opposite features． D．Stress is not necessary at all．

The Difference a Teacher Can Make
Steve，a twelve-year-old boy with alcoholic parents，was about to be lost forever by the U．S．education system．Remarkably，he could read，yet，he was failing．He had been failing since first grade．Though Steve looked bigger than his age，yet he went unnoticed．．．until Miss White．
Miss White was a smiling，young，beautiful lady！Steve liked his new teacher；yet，still he failed．He never did his homework．Whenever he was punished for failing to turn in his homework，he felt just terrible！Still，he did not study．
Last week，the entire seventh grade was tested for basic skills．Steve hurried through his tests，and continued to dream of other things．His heart was not in school，but in the woods，where he often stayed alone after school．He was always alone because no one cared．Oddly，Steve never missed a day of school．
One day，Miss White's impatient voice broke into his daydreams．
“Steve！” Shocked，he turned to look at her．
“Pay attention！” Miss White began to go over the test results for the seventh grade．“You all did pretty well，” she told the class，“except for one boy，and it breaks my heart to tell you this，but．．．” She hesitated，pinning Steve to his seat with a sharp stare．“The smartest boy in the seventh grade is failing my class！” She just stared at Steve，as the class turned around for a good lonk．Steve dropped his eyes and carefully examined his fingertips．
