When was the last time you told someone they inspire you to go to work each morning?
Teachers at Oak Park High School in Kansas City, Missouri, did just that this September, when they pulled individual students out of class to tell them just how much they appreciated them.
The students' reactions, which were captured (捕捉) on video and shared on a social networking website, ranged from shy thanks to hugs and tears.
“I have been challenged to find a student who makes me want to come to school every day,” says one teacher in the video, “and that's you.”
Jamie McSparin, a teacher in charge of the school's academy program for at-risk sophomores (二年级学生)and juniors, posed the challenge, writes ABC News.
“Initially when we pulled the kids out, they all thought they were in trouble,” McSparin told ABC News. “Any teacher-student interaction always seems to be negative (消极的), and that was something that bothered me, too. No matter if they're a good kid or a trouble maker or anything, they always thought they were in trouble,” she says.
McSparin says she got the idea for the project after attending a professional development workshop this summer called the power of positivity.
“I like the idea of letting students know they are appreciated, because we do appreciate them. I just don't think we say it enough,” she told local news outlet WDAF-TV.
It's safe to say the challenge was effective.
“I feel special,”said one of the boys in the video. “You should,” said his teacher. “You are special.”
What does the underlined word “posed” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Rejected. B. Presented. C. Ignored. D. Evaluated.
25. How did the students probably feel when pulled out of the classroom at first?
A. Nervous. B. Thrilled. C. Encouraged D. Curious.
26. What inspired McSparin to challenge the project?
A. The trouble caused by students. B. A program related to students’ interaction.
C. The need of shooting the video. D. A seminar named the power of positivity.
27. What message does this text mainly convey?
A. Challenge is unavoidable. B. News media contribute to students’ progress.
C. Everyone needs to be appreciated. D. Positivity outweighs negativity.

Martha Graham ,born in 1894, was one of the most famous dancers and creators of dance, whose influence on modern dance has been compared with the influence Pablo Picasso had on the modern visual arts, Stravinsky had on music, or Frank Lloyd Wright had on architecture. She created almost two hundred dance pieces. She is often called the Mother of Modern Dance.
Earlier in her life, however, Graham did not know that she would become a dancer. At that time, the dancers were looked down on. So Graham's parents didn't approve of her desire to dance at the beginning. Until the mid-1910s, she began her studies at the newly created Denishawn School of Dancing and Related Arts, founded by Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn, where Graham worked very hard to improve her ability to dance because she was considered too old to begin dancing.
In 1936, Graham made her defining work, Chronicle, which signaled the beginning of a new era in modern dance. The dance brought serious issues to the stage for the general public in a dramatic manner. Influenced by the Wall Street Crash of 1929, the Great Depression that followed, and the Spanish Civil War, it focused on depression and isolation, reflected in the dark nature of both the set and costumes.
Graham continued to dance past the age of seventy. Once again, she met with criticism from people who came to watch her shows. But she didn't give up. Her last completed ballet was 1990's Maple Leaf Rag. “A Dancer's World” is an introduction to Graham and her work. She tells about her dances and her dance group shows some of their methods.
Martha Graham received many awards during her lifetime, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1976. She was the first dancer to receive the country's highest civilian honor. She died in 1991 at the age of ninety-six. In 1998 , Time magazine listed her as the “Dancer of the Century” and as one of the most important people of the twentieth century.
28．Why are some famous people mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A．To show Martha Graham was influenced greatly by them.
B．To show Martha Graham kept in touch with them regularly.
C．To show Martha Graham had a great effect on modern dance.
D．To show Martha Graham learned something from them.
29．Why did Martha Graham's parents disagree on her desire to dance at first?
A．She was too old to learn dance.
B．Dance was seen as a lower art at that time.
C．There was no academic school to teach dancing.
D．Her family was too poor to afford her tuition.
30．When Martha Graham continued to dance in her 70s, she_________.
A．was warmly welcomed by the youth
B．achieved huge success once again
C．received many awards for her age
D．was attacked by some people
31．What's the text mainly about?
A．The background of modern dance.
B．The development of modern dance.
C．Martha Graham and her achievements in dance.
D．The awards Martha Graham won in her life.
D
The Leaning Tower of Pisa(比萨斜塔) has never stood straight. The building’ s lean has puzzled engineers for hundreds of years. Engineers began building the hell tower in Italy in 1173. It took more than 200 years to finish. It was built on unexpectedly soft ground and the tower began to lean before it was done. The mistake has made the building one of the world’ s strange sights.
How can something so unstable last for hundreds of years? The tower has survived two world wars, millions of visitors, and four strong earthquakes. Engineering Professor George Mylonakis wanted to know why. He studied the ground beneath the building and looked at how soil affects the building and how well it stands up.
Mylonakis and other engineers came up with an answer about the tower. The answer has to do with the soft ground under the tower. The engineers found other important reasons, too. The tower is very tall and is made of stone that makes it stiff. Its height and firmness combined with the softness of the foundation soil cause the vibrational(振动的) characteristics of the structure lo be improved considerably in such a way that the tower does not resonate(共振) with earthquake ground motion. So during an earthquake, the tower does not shake as much as the earth under it.
Still, Mylonakis said the tower had almost fallen since it continued to lean more as the soft ground settled under it. In the early 1990s, it was in real danger of falling and the Italian government closed the tower to visitors and started to save it. Crews gradually began to take out small amounts of soil from the high north side. With less soil under it, that side of the tower sank slightly. Engineers also fixed equipment that allows them to make adjustments to the water pressure beneath the tower, further controlling how much the tower leans.
The building still leans. It just leans a bit less than before. Most importantly, the tower is no longer in danger. John Burland worked on the project to save the tower. He said it is highly unlikely that the soft ground under the tower will cause it to fall and only a very large earthquake would knock down the tower.
32.Why did George Mylonakis study the leaning Tower of Pisa?
A.To find out why it leans.
B.To explore why it still stands.
C.To call on people to save it.
D.To research the soft ground under it.
33. What does the underlined word "stiff" in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.shaky. B.sinking.
C.solid. D.splendid.
34.What measure was taken to save the tower in the early 1990s?
A.Limit the number of visitors.
B.Remove soil from two sides.
C.Monitor the amount of soil water.
D.Make the tower lower in the north.
35. What do John Burland's words suggest in the last paragraph?
A.The tower is safe in most cases.
B.The tower still leans in danger.
C.The tower may fall due to the soft ground.
D.The tower will stand even if large earthquakes hit.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.
Benefits of Sports
Doing sports is a physical, mental and social adventure. It’ s a great way for children to take a break from academics and release extra energy. It also helps them lead fuller and happier lives as regular sports have proven to improve overall well-being.
The physical benefits of doing sports are probably the most obvious. Regardless of your fitness level when you start playing sports, you’ll notice an increase in your overall fitness once you’ re involved. 36 Basketball players focus on strength training; football players work on speed while track athletes train through longer runs. The training process helps promote physical fitness and performances in competitions.
37 Playing sports contributes to mental health, helping to increase confidence and self-worth. A pat on the back, high-five from a teammate, or handshake after a match really boosts a child’s confidence. Words of praise and encouragement from the coach, parents and other players raise the self-worth. 38 So after a game, it’s a better idea to ask “Did you enjoy the game?” rather than “Did you win?”
Children who participate in sports might also benefit from the social aspect, feeling part of a group, building up accountability and leadership. 39 Teamwork involves both being dependable as a teammate and learning to rely on your teammates to achieve a positive outcome. Teamwork breeds accountability and challenges you to be responsible for your actions. Being part of a team gives you an opportunity to be a leader.
Discipline is another social advantage. Most organized sports require a strict training and practice schedule. As a student-athlete, you need to balance academics and athletics. 40
There is no shortage of reasons to find a sport to get involved in. Are you ready to go? Pick one and get moving!
It’ s not just your body that benefits from sports.
Therefore, playing sports is going to make you more fit.
But remember, a child’s self-worth should not be distinguished by victory or loss.
If you play group sports, you’ll be part of a team that takes direction from a coach.
Nearly every sport requires physical activity and the skills needed to be competitive.
Among these, learning how to fun_ction as part of a team is the most important advantage.
Only with strict discipline can you be successful both in the classroom and in the sports field.

Dear Tom
Long time no see. As it won’t be long before I graduate from high school, I have to select an ideal university in advance, which makes me really annoyed. My parents and I failed to reach the agreement on whether to go to another city for further education.
In my parents’ eyes, I’m still the little boy who is so fragile and innocent that I can’t be away from home. They believe without their tending, my life will be in a mess. However, I have been a young adult and anxious about independence and liberty. I have determined to prove myself via leaving for the university away from Tianjin. Furthermore, living in a strange but new city can not only broaden my horizon but also improve my communication ability.
For you have been away from America and studied in China for a few years, I really need your advice on how to persuade my parents to be in favor of my ideal and convince them that I can intend to my safety and health.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

When was the last time you told someone they inspire you to go to work each morning?
Teachers at Oak Park High School in Kansas City, Missouri, did just that this September, when they pulled individual students out of class to tell them just how much they appreciated them.
The students' reactions, which were captured (捕捉) on video and shared on a social networking website, ranged from shy thanks to hugs and tears.
“I have been challenged to find a student who makes me want to come to school every day,” says one teacher in the video, “and that's you.”
Jamie McSparin, a teacher in charge of the school's academy program for at-risk sophomores (二年级学生)and juniors, posed the challenge, writes ABC News.
“Initially when we pulled the kids out, they all thought they were in trouble,” McSparin told ABC News. “Any teacher-student interaction always seems to be negative (消极的), and that was something that bothered me, too. No matter if they're a good kid or a trouble maker or anything, they always thought they were in trouble,” she says.
McSparin says she got the idea for the project after attending a professional development workshop this summer called the power of positivity.
“I like the idea of letting students know they are appreciated, because we do appreciate them. I just don't think we say it enough,” she told local news outlet WDAF-TV.
It's safe to say the challenge was effective.
“I feel special,”said one of the boys in the video. “You should,” said his teacher. “You are special.”
What does the underlined word “posed” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Rejected. B. Presented. C. Ignored. D. Evaluated.
25. How did the students probably feel when pulled out of the classroom at first?
A. Nervous. B. Thrilled. C. Encouraged D. Curious.
26. What inspired McSparin to challenge the project?
A. The trouble caused by students. B. A program related to students’ interaction.
C. The need of shooting the video. D. A seminar named the power of positivity.
27. What message does this text mainly convey?
A. Challenge is unavoidable. B. News media contribute to students’ progress.
C. Everyone needs to be appreciated. D. Positivity outweighs negativity.

Martha Graham ,born in 1894, was one of the most famous dancers and creators of dance, whose influence on modern dance has been compared with the influence Pablo Picasso had on the modern visual arts, Stravinsky had on music, or Frank Lloyd Wright had on architecture. She created almost two hundred dance pieces. She is often called the Mother of Modern Dance.
Earlier in her life, however, Graham did not know that she would become a dancer. At that time, the dancers were looked down on. So Graham's parents didn't approve of her desire to dance at the beginning. Until the mid-1910s, she began her studies at the newly created Denishawn School of Dancing and Related Arts, founded by Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn, where Graham worked very hard to improve her ability to dance because she was considered too old to begin dancing.
In 1936, Graham made her defining work, Chronicle, which signaled the beginning of a new era in modern dance. The dance brought serious issues to the stage for the general public in a dramatic manner. Influenced by the Wall Street Crash of 1929, the Great Depression that followed, and the Spanish Civil War, it focused on depression and isolation, reflected in the dark nature of both the set and costumes.
Graham continued to dance past the age of seventy. Once again, she met with criticism from people who came to watch her shows. But she didn't give up. Her last completed ballet was 1990's Maple Leaf Rag. “A Dancer's World” is an introduction to Graham and her work. She tells about her dances and her dance group shows some of their methods.
Martha Graham received many awards during her lifetime, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1976. She was the first dancer to receive the country's highest civilian honor. She died in 1991 at the age of ninety-six. In 1998 , Time magazine listed her as the “Dancer of the Century” and as one of the most important people of the twentieth century.
28．Why are some famous people mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A．To show Martha Graham was influenced greatly by them.
B．To show Martha Graham kept in touch with them regularly.
C．To show Martha Graham had a great effect on modern dance.
D．To show Martha Graham learned something from them.
29．Why did Martha Graham's parents disagree on her desire to dance at first?
A．She was too old to learn dance.
B．Dance was seen as a lower art at that time.
C．There was no academic school to teach dancing.
D．Her family was too poor to afford her tuition.
30．When Martha Graham continued to dance in her 70s, she_________.
A．was warmly welcomed by the youth
B．achieved huge success once again
C．received many awards for her age
D．was attacked by some people
31．What's the text mainly about?
A．The background of modern dance.
B．The development of modern dance.
C．Martha Graham and her achievements in dance.
D．The awards Martha Graham won in her life.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa(比萨斜塔) has never stood straight. The building’ s lean has puzzled engineers for hundreds of years. Engineers began building the hell tower in Italy in 1173. It took more than 200 years to finish. It was built on unexpectedly soft ground and the tower began to lean before it was done. The mistake has made the building one of the world’ s strange sights.
How can something so unstable last for hundreds of years? The tower has survived two world wars, millions of visitors, and four strong earthquakes. Engineering Professor George Mylonakis wanted to know why. He studied the ground beneath the building and looked at how soil affects the building and how well it stands up.
Mylonakis and other engineers came up with an answer about the tower. The answer has to do with the soft ground under the tower. The engineers found other important reasons, too. The tower is very tall and is made of stone that makes it stiff. Its height and firmness combined with the softness of the foundation soil cause the vibrational(振动的) characteristics of the structure lo be improved considerably in such a way that the tower does not resonate(共振) with earthquake ground motion. So during an earthquake, the tower does not shake as much as the earth under it.
Still, Mylonakis said the tower had almost fallen since it continued to lean more as the soft ground settled under it. In the early 1990s, it was in real danger of falling and the Italian government closed the tower to visitors and started to save it. Crews gradually began to take out small amounts of soil from the high north side. With less soil under it, that side of the tower sank slightly. Engineers also fixed equipment that allows them to make adjustments to the water pressure beneath the tower, further controlling how much the tower leans.
The building still leans. It just leans a bit less than before. Most importantly, the tower is no longer in danger. John Burland worked on the project to save the tower. He said it is highly unlikely that the soft ground under the tower will cause it to fall and only a very large earthquake would knock down the tower.
32.Why did George Mylonakis study the leaning Tower of Pisa?
A.To find out why it leans.
B.To explore why it still stands.
C.To call on people to save it.
D.To research the soft ground under it.
33. What does the underlined word "stiff" in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.shaky. B.sinking.
C.solid. D.splendid.
34.What measure was taken to save the tower in the early 1990s?
A.Limit the number of visitors.
B.Remove soil from two sides.
C.Monitor the amount of soil water.
D.Make the tower lower in the north.
35. What do John Burland's words suggest in the last paragraph?
A.The tower is safe in most cases.
B.The tower still leans in danger.
C.The tower may fall due to the soft ground.
D.The tower will stand even if large earthquakes hit.

Benefits of Sports
Doing sports is a physical, mental and social adventure. It’ s a great way for children to take a break from academics and release extra energy. It also helps them lead fuller and happier lives as regular sports have proven to improve overall well-being.
The physical benefits of doing sports are probably the most obvious. Regardless of your fitness level when you start playing sports, you’ll notice an increase in your overall fitness once you’ re involved. 36 Basketball players focus on strength training; football players work on speed while track athletes train through longer runs. The training process helps promote physical fitness and performances in competitions.
37 Playing sports contributes to mental health, helping to increase confidence and self-worth. A pat on the back, high-five from a teammate, or handshake after a match really boosts a child’s confidence. Words of praise and encouragement from the coach, parents and other players raise the self-worth. 38 So after a game, it’s a better idea to ask “Did you enjoy the game?” rather than “Did you win?”
Children who participate in sports might also benefit from the social aspect, feeling part of a group, building up accountability and leadership. 39 Teamwork involves both being dependable as a teammate and learning to rely on your teammates to achieve a positive outcome. Teamwork breeds accountability and challenges you to be responsible for your actions. Being part of a team gives you an opportunity to be a leader.
Discipline is another social advantage. Most organized sports require a strict training and practice schedule. As a student-athlete, you need to balance academics and athletics. 40
There is no shortage of reasons to find a sport to get involved in. Are you ready to go? Pick one and get moving!
It’ s not just your body that benefits from sports.
Therefore, playing sports is going to make you more fit.
But remember, a child’s self-worth should not be distinguished by victory or loss.
If you play group sports, you’ll be part of a team that takes direction from a coach.
Nearly every sport requires physical activity and the skills needed to be competitive.
Among these, learning how to fun_ction as part of a team is the most important advantage.
Only with strict discipline can you be successful both in the classroom and in the sports field.

Dear Tom
Long time no see. As it won’t be long before I graduate from high school, I have to select an ideal university in advance, which makes me really annoyed. My parents and I failed to reach the agreement on whether to go to another city for further education.
In my parents’ eyes, I’m still the little boy who is so fragile and innocent that I can’t be away from home. They believe without their tending, my life will be in a mess. However, I have been a young adult and anxious about independence and liberty. I have determined to prove myself via leaving for the university away from Tianjin. Furthermore, living in a strange but new city can not only broaden my horizon but also improve my communication ability.
For you have been away from America and studied in China for a few years, I really need your advice on how to persuade my parents to be in favor of my ideal and convince them that I can intend to my safety and health.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
