a. he was called chinese harry potter because he was very brave. b. his deed was spread both in canada and the us. c. he was better at fighting and wrestling compared with hagar. d. he was too shocked to move to the vehicle in the incident.38. what did ian do in the car to keep the baby awake? a. he held, hugged and kissed the baby in the passenger seat. b. he drove the car as quickly as possible to find a hospital. c. he encouraged the baby telling him to be awake. d. he held the heavily- bleeding wound of the baby.39. which of the following can be the best title for this passage?a. saving lives from the jaws of deathb. experiencing a family outingc. taking care of two children d. interviewing a clever young studentbas the semester(学期) ended, students had a chance to turn the tables on their teachers. they got to grade me anonymously(匿名地), assessing the ability of my thinking, my organizational skills and the depth of my knowledge. such evaluations keep me alert to what works and what doesnt. students reflect my performance back to me, and im glad to learn what they think of my teaching so that i might try to improve. this system reflects many aspects of my work. there is, of course, nothing wrong with it. but this system assumes that what students need is the same as what they want. reading my evaluations every semester has taught me otherwise. actually many students expectations for their courses have already changed, reflecting, in part, the business model many universities are following: classes are considered services, and parents are eager to get their moneys worth from their childrens education. students feel pressure from their parents to get practical use from their courses.this could make sense for an engineering course, but in my field, creative writing, which rarely trains up excellent 21-year-old writers, it is more difficult to provide the results that the career-minded students desire. then i tried some teaching techniques to change the criticism of those unhappy students to the opposite and improve my student evaluations. my record would accurately reflect a smart, attentive, encouraging teacher. however, i would admit that they loved me simply because i agreed writing should be easy.i know other teachers have done the same thing: teach your heart out to the teachable but be sure to please the unteachable; keep your ratings high, like a politician trying to improve his poll(民意调查) results. i believe in the struggle. but i still cant help wincing(退缩) when i read, “the instructor is mean.” “marcus is not committed to my work.” “this class sucks.” the business model has taught me that customers are always right. and maybe a few more dissatisfied customers would mean a better learning experience.40. what can we know from the underlined phrase “turn the tables on their teachers”？a. students get a chance to have dinner with their teachers.b. students judge and grade their teachers.c. students begin to criticize and punish their teachers.d. students take action to praise their teachers.41. why have the students expectations for their courses changed?a. because students want to improve other abilities.b. because students feel great pressure from universities.c. because students have to satisfy their parents.d. because the business model has changed.42. what can we infer from the passage?a. parents dont care about their money spent on their childrens education.b. the writer adopted some teaching methods so that he improved his student evaluations.c. similar to other teachers, the writer struggled to work as politicians.d. the students intended to punish their teachers by giving comments.43. what is the authors attitude towards being graded by his students?a. positive. b. negative.c. satisfied.d. scared. cthese days everyone is worried about the size of their carbon footprint. in order to reduce global warming we need to make our carbon footprints smaller. but how much co2 are we responsible for?a new book by mike berners lee, an expert, might be able to help. the carbon footprint looks at the different things we do and buy, and calculates the amount of co2 all of the following created: the ingredients, the electricity, the equipment, the travel and commuting of the beer, and the packaging. its amazing how many different things need to be included in each calculation. and its frightening how much carbon dioxide everything produces.this can help us decide which beer to drink. from berners lees calculations, its clear that a pint (568ml) of locally brewed beer has a smaller carbon footprint than a bottle of imported beer. this is because the imported beer has been transported from far away, and it uses more packaging. the local beer only produces 300g of co2, but the imported beer produces 900g! so, one pint of local beer is better for the environment.berners lee has even calculated the carbon footprint of cycling to work. nothing is more environmentally friendly than riding a bike, surely? well, it depends on what youve had to eat before. to ride a bike we need energy and for energy we need food. so if we eat a banana and then ride a kilometer, our footprint is 65g of co2. however, if we eat bacon before the ride, its 200g. in fact, bananas are good because they dont need packaging, they can be transported by boat and they grow in natural sunlight.so, does this mean that cycling is bad for the environment? absolutely not, for a start, if you cycle, you dont use your car, and the fewer cars on the road, the fewer traffic jams. and cars in traffic jams produce three times more co2 than cars traveling at speed. cycling also makes you healthy and less likely to go to hospital. so maybe its time for us all to start making some changes. pass me a banana and a pint of local beer, please.44. which of the following is true according to the passage?a. everything produces carbon dioxide equally.b. the imported beer is much better than the local beer in quality.c. actually bananas are good in general because they produce less co2.d. to make our carbon footprints smaller, we should often drink more beer.45. the underlined word “brew” in paragraph 3 most probably means “_”. a. makeb. put c. look after d. take place46. whats the main purpose of writing this passage?a. to tell the differences among bikes, beer and bananas. b. to call on us to take action to make carbon footprint smaller. c. to introduce what co2 really is in our life.d. to remind us to start healthy eating habits.47. where can we probably read this passage? a. in a science fiction story.b. in a newspaper advertisement. c. in a science research report.d. in a travel magazine. d one potential problem with allowances is that childrens responsible behavior can become about earning the allowance rather than the intrinsic(固有的)value of their family responsibilities. for example, if you pay your children for taking out the rubbish, they see this chore (家务事) as a job that they should be rewarded for instead of a responsibility they must fulfill as part of the family. but giving children an allowance for weekly chores is not necessarily bad. you are rewarding them for fulfilling their family responsibilities, but it is not for a specific act. it is an appreciation of their commitment to your family values. you are also conveying another important message that their actions have consequences: if they do good things, good things happen. they also learn a lesson about the market economy, namely that work is rewarded.allowances can also be used as punishment and to teach children lessons about family values. for example, if your children join a group of kids smashing (砸碎) pumpkins on halloween, a part of a reasonable punishment might be to require them to pay the families out of their allowance to replace the pumpkins. thus, your children learn that bad behavior has financial consequences. meanwhile, by relating the punishment to the misdeed, you ensure that your children see the connection and learn the value lesson.how much allowance should you pay your children? the precise amount depends on your familys financial situation, the cost of living and your childrens needs. children can start to earn a weekly allowance as early as 5 years of age. an increase of $ 1 per week for each year of your childrens lives is realistic until they reach their mid-teens. when they begin to drive and date, you can calculate their expenses and establ
