often told me that it was time to teach a man everything. i didnt understand and wondered why 36 had such a big influence 37 a person. i thought i could grow up quickly to find it out as an adultbut now, 38 i come to knock at the door of adulthood, i feel 39 to express my own 40 on this saying. i know that im just a high school student with very 41 experiences. there are still many things 42 me in the future, yet i would like to express myself in a childish voice. i once read this sentence: “to make this world a happy place to live, youd better 43 yourself and your heart , instead of the whole world.” i was shocked. it made me think about life 44 . there are so many things around us that 45 our will. we cant force life 46 our wishes. the earth wont stop turning no matter whether we 47 it or not. what we can do is just to make ourselves 48 the world. i think we should learn to accept 49 life gives us, no matter whether its the spring sunlight or the winter snowfall, and try to be happy.deeply moved by the pop song grandmother (by jay chou), i always try to 50 every pleasant thing in my life, but now i see i dont catch most of the pleasant moments. it is more 51 that they slip by and leave you feeling 52 . i realize that im not just living 53 myself and that there are the others around me i should think of .they all pay attention to my growing up, even if its just a little progress. everyone has his or her own attitude towards life, be it positive or 54 .it doesnt matter, i think. there is one 55 that should be obeyedand thats to make this world better.21aman btime

there is a cave hotel. and in bolivia, there is the salt palace hotel. thousands of years ago, the area around the salt palace hotel was a large lake. but over time, all the water disappeared. today, the area has only two small lakes and two salt deserts.in the early 1990s, a man named juan quesada built the hotel. he cut big blocks of salt from the desert and used the blocks to build it. everything in the hotel is made out of salt: the walls, the roof, the tables, the chairs and the beds.the sun heats the walls and roof during the day. so the rooms stay warm at night, though its cold outside in the desert. the hotel has twelve rooms. a single room costs $40 a night, and a double room $60.a sign on the hotels wall tells guests, “please dont lick (舔) the walls.”41where did the salt for the hotel come from?a. a cave.b. the lake. c. the salt desert.d. a salt field.42what keeps the rooms in the salt palace hotel warm at night?a. the water in the lake.b. the sand in the desert.c. the furniture in the rooms.d. the heat from the walls and roof.43what is the passage mainly about?a. a large lake.b. a special hotel.c. a beautiful wall.d. a famous desert.44cat one time it was the dream of many little girls to become a nurse. today, however, america is facing its worst nurse shortage since world war i. recently about 2,000,000 nurses are needed and 60 percent of all hospitals in the us have shortages large enough to threaten(=say that you will hurt somebody if they dont do what you want) the quality of care provided. the demand for nurses spreads widely throughout the nursing field.what has become of these women in white? the answer lies in not one but several causes. one possibility is the fact that women have greater career options(职业选择). in the past, women who chose to work outside the home had two basic choices: nursing or teaching. today, more women than ever are in the work force, but their choices have greatly increased. there are women doctors, lawyers, firefighters and police officers. in fact, women today are found in nearly every field of work. nursing has been left behind, as women move on to jobs with higher pay and greater status(地位). a woman or man in the nursing field is often looked down upon as “just a nurse”. teachers may be also at fault. many high school students are actually being steered(劝导) away from nursing, told by teachers that they are “too bright to be a nurse”.americans are living longer than ever and requiring more medical attention. in fact, the number of elderly patients has almost doubled in the past twenty years. obviously a larger population requires more nurses. aids and other diseases have caused more and more people to need nursing care. usually fatal diseases mean long hospital stay, that is to say, more nurses are needed to care for these patients. it is estimated that the demand for nurses will be doubled the supply in the coming ten years.63. why is america facing its worst nurse shortage? a. because american health conditions are becoming worse and worse. b. because more and more women prefer to be teachers and doctors. c. because women have been provided with many different jobs. d. because women no longer choose to be nurses.64. the passage tells us that high school teachers are at fault for _. a. not mentioning the worst nurse shortage in the us b. introducing jobs with higher pay and greater status to their students c. not asking the government to raise the nurses payment d. persuading the students not to be nurses65. the author wrote this passage in order to _. a. describe the unequal treatment of women in the us b. warn people to pay more attention to the nursing problem c. tell us womens free choice of jobs today d. call on women not to be nurses66. which of the following is true according to the passage? a. high school students think themselves too bright to be nurses. b. women in the us have greater career choice than those in other countries. c. of all the hospitals in the world 60 percent more nurses are badly needed. d. nursing used to be a popular job among women.respect your teachersfirst of all, students should respect the teachers. they should pay attention in the classes. that means to salute him, to stand from his chair when the teacher enters the classroom etc. attend any lesson attentively. in class of a certain subject or teacher you dont like very much, if its total anarchy(混乱), how can we talk about respect?play by the rulesif your teacher wants you to use wide-lined paperdo it! if she tells you to sharpen your pencils only before class starts, listen to her. if she doesnt accept late homework, do yours on time. sometimes classroom rules seem strict or even silly, but most teachers know whats necessary to make things run smoothly, what it takes to let the learning begin. and the better the learning environment, the smarter youll be!expect her/him to like you.teachers are teachers because they like kids. given the chance, most teachers want to be your friends too. respect your teacher, but dont be afraid of her/him. she/he wants you to have a great school year just as much as you want to have!put first things first.friends are a fun part of school. but theyre not the most important part. when your teacher is teaching, give her/him your full attention. even when its hard to do - recess will come soon enough, and thats the time for playing with your friends.45which of the following would be the best title for the text?a. advice before you go to schoolb. what you should do at schoolc. how to get along with your teacherd. how to plan your time at school46what do you think the title of the second paragraph “play by the rules” mean?a. dont play if you havent completed your homework.b. follow what the teacher says.c. work is work and play is play.d. make the learning environment as good as possible.47 according to the last paragraph, what do you think the first thing is?a. the teacher. b. the teachers lecture.c. the students d. friends.48the underlined word “recess” most probably means “_”.a. break b. play c. parents d. newscritical thinking is an important skill that can increase students ability to learn in any situation. this can be applied to traditional education, or directly in a career related role. many teachers find it such a valuable skill that they give their students a critical thinking question every day. developing this ability can mean the difference between “just passing a course” and “understanding the material well enough” so that what students learn from it will follow them throughout their life. some characteristics of a critical thinker that teachers should encourage are; -asking questions as a reaction to something read or discussed; -determining the “deeper meaning” of a particular passage or topic; -providing input and opinions to topics as a direct result of analysis and research; -reasoning in an effort to develop an argument of your own opinion. it is important for a student to understand more than definition（定义）. one way to truly understand an idea is to have hands-on practice, and to apply concepts learned in a textbook. such “mini-examples” will interest a student and improve their understanding of a topic. this is how life-long skills can be developed. teachers that use critical thinking practices in the classroom can “go above and beyond” by asking questions that promote a greater comprehension of the material. instructors should be able to challenge students and create an environment where they are analyzing material and gaining a better understanding. this will make the classroom move in a direction for learning. it can also help students to stay interested in the course material, as they always have a new concept to consider. at the same time, students benefit greatly from developing critical thinking skills. when learned early on, these skills can be used throughout their college education. students can understand how to consider a topic, analyze it, and discuss it from different points of view. these are skills that will benefit them when they are part of the workforce as well.49who are the intended readers of the passage?a. teachers. b. parents.c. examines. d. headmasters.50critical thinking can best be described as .a. a system to improve peoples memoryb. a method to expand peoples knowledgec. a way to increase peoples ability to understandd. a process to make people more critical of others51the underlined word “it” in paragraph 1 refers to .a. the ability b. the differencec. the course d. the material52the author thinks “mini-examples” are useful because they .a. assist students to better remember definitionsb. give students hands-on practicec. help to keep students interestedd. help students develop concepts五、七选五根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中的两项为多余选项。q&aquestion: i have recently got a senior position within my companyone of my new tasks is to make
