Paul Durietz is a 76-year-old social studies teacher from Illinois. On September 1, he set a Guinness World Record for the world’s longest teaching career. He has been teaching for 53 years-since he was 23 years old.
Mr. Durietz became interested in history after hearing stories from his father. He made up his mind about becoming a social studies teacher when he was just 11 years old, mainly because of his love of history.
Mr. Durietz got his first teaching job at Woodland Middle School in Gurnee, Illinois in 1970. Ever since then, he’s been teaching social studies at the same school. For him, teaching is never boring because every day is different. He loves sharing his knowledge of history with students.
Things have changed a lot since he began all those years ago. When he started, he wrote on a blackboard with chalk, and the students used paper textbooks. These days, he and the students use computers and digital whiteboards.
Though technology has changed a lot, in Mr. Durietz’s eyes, the students are still pretty much the same-except that now they have cell phones.
And with or without technology, Mr. Durietz has used creative activities to help his students learn. For example, he has organized virtual field trips, geography contests, and special days about the US Civil War. To help his students learn about politics, he has even organized mock (模拟的) elections at school, which his students enjoyed most.
For much of his 53 years as a teacher, Mr. Durietz has been in charge of the social studies program at Woodland. In that time, he has helped to guide over 20 other social studies teachers at the school. To his extreme pride, he has even had students come back and tell him that they became history teachers because of him.
Mr. Durietz wasn’t really trying to set a record. He was just doing what he loved. He has no plans to retire any time soon. He hopes to break his own record. He also hopes to set another record as the teacher who’s worked the longest at the same school.
“Keep working on what you love to do in life,” he always says.
4. Mr. Durietz received an award from Guinness for ______.
A. being the oldest teacher in Illinois
B. being the best social studies teacher
C. having the longest years of teaching
D. working 53 years at the same school
5. What has made Mr. Durietz most proud of his work
A. Sharing his knowledge of history.
B. Students enjoying the mock elections.
C. Guiding over 20 other teachers at Woodland.
D. Students following his example to be teachers.
6. According to the passage, which word can best describe Mr. Durietz
A. Passionate. B. Generous. C. Ambitious. D. Confident.
7. What can we conclude from this passage
A. One is never too old to learn.
B. Be famous as young as possible.
C. You have got to like what you do.
D. When work is a pleasure, life is joy.
C
I used to believe that only words could catch the essence of the human soul. The literary works contained such distinct stories that they shaped the way we saw the world. Words were what composed the questions we sought to uncover and the answers to those questions themselves. Words were everything.
That belief changed.
In an ordinary math class, my teacher posed a simple question: What’s 0.99 rounded to the nearest whole number Easy. When rounded to the nearest whole number, 0.99=1. Somehow, I thought even though 0.99 is only 0.01 away from 1, there’s still a 0.01 difference. That means even if two things are only a little different, they are still different, so doesn’t that make them completely different
My teacher answered my question by presenting another equation (等式): 1= 0.9, which could also be expressed as 1=0.99999.... repeating itself without ever ending.
There was something mysterious but fascinating about the equation. The left side was unchangeable, objective: it contained a number that ended. On the right was something endless, number repeating itself limitless times. Yet, somehow, these two opposed things were connected by an equal sign.
Lying in bed, I thought about how much the equation paralleled our existence. The left side of the equation represents that sometimes life itself is so unchangeable and so clear. The concrete, whole number of the day when you were born and the day when you would die. But then there is that gap in between life and death. The right side means a time and space full of limitless possibilities, and endless opportunities into the open future.
So that’s what life is. Objective but imaginative. Unchangeable but limitless. Life is an equation with two sides that balances itsef out. Still, we can’t ever truly seem to put the perfect words to it. So possibly numbers can express ideas as eually well as words can. For now, let’s leave it at that: 1= 0.99999... and live a life like it.
8. What does the author emphasize about words in paragraph 1
A. Their wide variety. B. Their literary origins.
C. Their distinct sounds. D. Their expressive power.
9. What made the author find the equation fascinating
A. The repetition of a number. B. The way two different numbers are equal.
C. The question the teacher raised. D. The difference between the two numbers.
10. Which of the fllowing can replace the underlined word “paralleled” in paragraph 6
A. Measured. B. Composed. C. Mirrored. D. Influenced.
11. What is a suitable title for the text
A. The Perfect Equation B. Numbers Build Equations
C. An Attractive Question D. Words Outperform Numbers
D
Do you ever listen to the songs that your parents like Chances are that you don't. You probably think the music that they like is old and boring and that the songs on your playlist are much cooler. But scientists found that people's music taste changes as time goes by. So it is likely that your own musical preferences will follow a similar path to your parents’，whether you like it or not.
We used to think that culture and personality (个性) are the only reasons for different music choices. But researchers at the University of Cambridge noticed that as people enter into different age groups, their social environment changes, and so does their music taste. There are some musical periods that people go through in their life.
The first period comes in the teenage years, during which people like strong music such as punk and rock, because teenagers tend to be aggressive or want to be independent.
But as people move into early adulthood, their lifestyles change and they want to build close relationships with others. As a result, they become fonder of contemporary music, such as pop and R&B, which is usually uplifting and danceable.
When middle age comes, most people have settled down. During this period, people prefer music,such as jazz and classical, as well as music like country, folk and blues.
As for old people, they prefer old songs in their childhoods. They generally listen to relaxing music, such as country music and jazz music. But you must be questioning. “Aren't there old people who are still interested in or even crazy about rock music ” Of course there are. But their reasons for listening to rock music may have changed. At that age people may listen to remind themselves of their youth.
12. What do young people usually think of the songs their parents enjoy？ ______
A. They are actually less cool. B. They are worth listening to.
C. They are especially serious. D. They are hard to understand.
13. How many musical periods are there that people go through in their life？ ______
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
14. People who want to make friends mostly prefer ______ .
A. jazz music B. country music C. rock music D. pop music
15. What is the best title for the text？ ______
A. People Have Different Opinions on Music
B. People Listen to Music for the Same Reason
C. People's Taste in Music Changes With Time
D. People's Lifestyle Can Be Changed by Music

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
More parental investment; slower children’s growth
Are teenagers less likely to participate in activities associated with adulthood because they’re busier with homework and extracurricular activities Researchers found that time spent on homework and extracurricular activities has declined among 10th graders. It’s remained relatively steady among 12th graders. ____16____ This might account for some of the changes. In fact, one documentary labeled today’s teens as “screenagers”. Greater parental investment leads to teens growing up more slowly because parents supervise children and teens more carefully and organize their activities.

A. There are benefits and drawbacks to the decline in adult activities among adolescents.
B It helps children enjoy a life with more material richness.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Just like on every break, Asiri would go with his uncle to his workshop, who made costumes for elephants! Asiri had been asking to help make the costumes. But he’d been told he was too little to sew the fine stitches (缝线) needed for the costumes.
Waiting for Uncle Thad, Asiri smoothed his practice piece beside him. Across it he had sewn, pulled out, and resewn stitches just as Uncle Thad had taught him. He couldn’t wait to show it to his uncle.
When his uncle finally came over, Asiri leapt from his seat. “Look, Uncle, ” said Asiri, holding up the stitched cloth. “These are fine stitches, Asiri, ” said Uncle Thad. “Just right to fix sequins (亮片). ” Together they walked to the workshop.
Uncle Thad and his team were busy making the costumes. They had to be ready for Esala Perahera, the biggest festival held in the city of Kandy. Since the elephants were the stars of the parade, their costumes had to be dazzling. He especially loved the sequins sewn on them that made them sparkle.
Uncle Thad, his team, and now Asiri, would finish the costumes. Asiri hoped he’d get to sew a sequin onto the costume for the most important elephant in the parade. After lunch, Asiri was putting away a piece of cloth when his uncle called. “Asiri Please bring me the box of golden sequins. ”
Here was his chance, thought Asiri. He’d bring the box to Uncle Thad and then ask to sew one on. Uncle Thad was sure to say yes. Asiri lifted the box from the shelf but turned a little too quickly, and the box was turned over, leaving the golden sequins on the floor. Uncle Thad turned to stare-first at Asiri and then at the golden sequins. Asiri felt his cheeks turning red. Now, Uncle Thad would never let him sew a single sequin on the costumes this year. Asiri dashed out of the door, down the street, and all the way back home. Hearing the rush of his footsteps, Asiri’s mother came to the door.
注意：
1．续写的词数应为150左右;
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“What’s wrong, Asiri ” asked his mother.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Reaching the workshop, Asiri found the sequins were still there.
