different directions. mike insisted they were not rivals (竞争对手). “no. its two teenagers going out there, living their dream and having the adventure of a lifetime”, he said. mike may he young, but he is no stranger to sailing adventures. he picked up the hobby at age 6 when his father took him out in a small boat on a local lake. father and son sailed separate boats across the atlantic when mike was 14, making him the youngest person to cross that ocean solo. that record gave him the taste for this even greater challenge. on the recent journey, the scariest moment for mike came when his sailboat was hit by storms in the southern indian ocean. “we were picked up by what felt like a 60foot wave and throw down on our side at 90 degrees.” he said. “it felt like i was going right over. stuff was flying around and i just thought oh，no.” at other times, he had to dive into the pacific and fix problems. he tied himself to the boat, jumped into the water and went to work with a knife in 30second dives underneath the boat to cut a rope away. mike said he felt proud that he made his dream come true. “youve got to have confidence in yourself that you will make it,” he said.25whats the

and began to hit him. mr. bachmann stopped the fight, but instead of sending me to the office, he sat me down and asked a simple question: penna, why are you wasting your life? why arent you going to college?i didnt know anything about colleges or scholarships. no one had ever considered that a fatherless boy from the poorest neighborhood had a future. that day, instead of rushing off for lunch, he stayed and explained possible education options to me. at the end of our talk, he sent me to see a secretary who had a child at a state college. this was in 1962 at emerson high school in union city, new jersey.well, 53 years have passed, and what have i done with the knowledge he gave me? i gained a phd from fordham university when i was only 29. i taught english and social studies and then moved up the chain of command from teacher to principal(校长).ive sat on the board for magnet schools of america and represented that organization at the united nations. ive won a number of great educational awards. but where would i be if a truly caring teacher had not taken the time out of his lunch period to speak to me? it was without question only his confidence in me that helped me forward.i have repaid his kindness hundreds of times by encouraging misguided youngsters to aim higher. if i have saved any children, it is because of him. if i have been a successful educator, it is because i had a great role model in mr. bachmann.28. the writer _ before mr. bachmann talked to him.a. was an active boy. b. liked making troubles in class.c. was an aimless boy. d. would get punished

of glass as something beautiful to look at. only recently have they come to think of it as something to look through. stores display their goods in large glass windows. glass bottles and jars that hold food and drink allow us to see the contents. glass is used to make eyeglasses, microscopes, telescopes, and many other extremely useful and necessary objects. until the second world war, most of the glass used for optical(光学的) instruments was imported from europe. however, during the war americans could not get european glass, and they were forced to make their own. therefore, new kinds of glasses were developed that had been previously unknown. these new effects were achieved by mixing other chemical elements with the sand. some of these new glasses are very strong and can resist many kinds of shocks. legend(传说) has it that a very hard glass was invented by a roman who showed his discovery to the emperor. when the emperor saw the glass he feared that it would become more valuable than gold and sliver, making his treasure worthless. therefore, he had the glassmaker killed, and the secret was not discovered again for hundreds of years. in the present century, safety glass was invented for use in modern cars and planes. safety glass is made by placing a layer of plastic between two layers of plate glass. when the outside layer of glass is broken, the pieces do not scatter(散开) and injure people. some glass of the type is strong enough to resist bullets(子弹). although nowadays plastics have replaced glass under conditions where glass might be easily broken, there are new uses being developed, for the greatest advantage of glass is that its component(组成的) parts are not expensive and can be found all over the world.32. as time goes by, glass _. a. is regarded as transparent(透明的)b. is no longer seen as decorationc. is used to make things look pleasantd. is widely used to replace steel in making containers33. why did americans make their own glass during the second world war? a. the war blocked the way of glass import. b. the glass made in europe was out of date.c. they refused to use the european glass.d. they were able to make a new kind of glass.34. why does the author tell us the legend?a. to give some interesting information about hard glass.b. to prove the roman was the first inventor of hard glass.c. to support the americans were as clever as the romans.d. to provide a historical event concerned with hard glass.35. why are new uses of glass being developed?a. because glass is not as safe as plastics. b. because glass is cheap and can get it easily. c. because glass is not as strong and durable as plastics.d. because glass is more and more widely used. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。freshmen anywhere may be nervous about university life. 76listen but dont be silent the world is held in students hand via smart phones. thus, they may consider lecture listening less important. however, a lecture is a listening workout. it forces students to face the difficulties of training a deep attentiveness. unsurprisingly, students find it hard to speak out, ask questions or for points of clarification. they dont want to appear foolish or incapable. however, there is no such thing as a foolish question. teachers are there to help you understand. this also goes for seminars and workshops. 77 read and buy books 78 therere so many useful online sources today, but the habit of reading books, especially whole books, is something being lost. buy your own books. there are many bargains to be found on used-book websites or through amazon. being a book lover and buyer will help any student get the most out of their education. 79 as a student, you dont just have to learn to listen and become an active reader: you also have to become an academic writer. written work at college level cannot be done at the last minute or in a rush. it takes time. turn to your teachers. if they will read

educational laws that holds true in all cases.a. dont try to do it all the night before.b. here, three pieces of advice are for them.c. thinking clearly cannot be done in a rush.d. so train your ear,
