11、the fullest extent. Fathers and mothers frequently teach their children both ambition and the confidence necessary to work toward their goals. American parents are always active in concentrating on what their kids can do, not what they cant. As a result, millions of American boys and girls grow up h

12、oping to become actors and athletes, diplomats and doctors.

They believe that only through taking pa

13、rt in these activities can their children become mature young adults.As we all know, school work is important. But parents should realize that the social skills their children learn from natural conversations with each other are as important as schoolwork and the skills they will need in the future

14、work. Whats more important in their work is that their children should have a sound knowledge of physics or the ability to communicate effectively.As a rule, Chinese parents dont educate their children about the same kind of ambition and confidence as Americans do, nor do they encourage the same lev

15、el of participation in extra activities. Children are typically advised to study hard and pass exams. They have to spend a lot of time in doing much schoolwork every day.

21、d unique and he brightened every day for us. He was the most dynamic teacher I had ever met.I loved music, so I remember how excited I was when he said he was going to give us music lessons. But when he turned on the music, my classmates and I slowly turned our heads toward the sound of Feter Paul a

22、nd Mary singing “If I Had a Hammer”.Snickers(窃笑) filled the room. If it wasnt rap or hip hop, we didnt recognize it. What were these people singing about? My classmates were not into this at all. But for me, a girl of 12, it was a discovery. An awakening.Twenty years passed and now there are forty l

23、ittle eyes staring at my wild musical-note shirts as I greet them with a joyful, “Good morning, class!” I wonder if my students wait and wonder what crazy music clothes I will wear each day.I glance at my 2015 Teacher of the Year Award, which I received for being a dynamic teacher.

27、of working in a flower shop had its roots in my grandmothers garden, always in bloom, where I made bunches with whatever I could get my hands on. However, I wasnt prepared for the people. Their stories impressed me long after I locked up for the night.I always enjoyed reading the messages that went

28、along with each bunch. Most were what you would expect, plenty of “I Love You” and “Get Well Soon.” We got “Happy Birthday, ” “Happy Anniversary” and “Thinking of You” requests that phone messages were written in shorthand: H.B, H.A, T.O.Y.I would laugh at messages that seemed too sugary or boring,

29、and it disheartened me when customers asked what their sympathy card should say. But I also understood that finding the right words can be a monumental task and that sometimes those words just happen to be the same ones everyone else is using.I have sold flowers to single men and women; to color-bli

30、nd fathers shopping with their precocious daughters, to new parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, to engaged 20-somethings and couples celebrating 50 years. Ive given flowers to homeless men who have in turn given them to pretty girls in summer dresses. People buy flowers when theyre in love, in

31、trouble, drunk, devastated, excited and sometimes for no obvious reason.I took photos of card messages and told my favorite shop stories to co-workers, family and friends, but still so much has gotten away. Precious moments made all the more precious by the fact that they have already come and gone.

32、 Now I gauge months by whats in season: sunflowers in July, dahlias （大丽花）in August, roses and maple in October, pine in December, hyacinth（风信子） in March.A favorite of mine is tulip magnolia（紫玉兰）, the way the buds（花蕾） break into flowers and the flowers into many colors on lawns, all in a matter of we

35、rs garden.3、What does the underlined word gauge probably mean in Paragraph 5?ASpend. BForget.CArrange.

More specifically, th

37、ey agree on how to get ahead in America: get a college education, find a reliable job, andbuytheir ownhouse.But do Americans still believe in that path, and if they do, is it attainable?ThemostrecentNationalJournal poll asked participants about the American dream, what it takes to achieve their goal

38、, and whether or not they felt the control over their ability to be successful. Obviously, the results show that today, the idea of the American dream and what it takes to achieve it looks quite different from it did in the late 20th century. Generally speaking, people felt that their actions and ha

39、rd work not outside force deciding their lives. But the participants had definitely mixed feelings about what actions make for a better life in the current economy.In the last seven years, Americans have grown more pessimistic(悲观的) about the power of education to lead to success. Even though they se

40、e going to college as a fairly achievable goal, a majority 52 percent think that young people do not need a 4-year college education in order to be successful.Miguel Maeda, 42, who has a masters degree and works in public health, was the first in his family to go to college, which has allowed him to

41、 achieve a sense of financial stability(稳定) his parents and grandparents never did. While some, like Maeda, emphasized the value of degree rather than the education itself, others still see college as a way to gain new viewpoints and life experiences. To Fendley, a sense of drive and purpose, as wel

42、l as an effective high-school education, and basic life skills, like balancing a checkbook(支票簿), are the necessary elements for a successful life in America.1、It used to be commonly acknowledged that to succeed in America, one had to have _.Aa sense of drive and purpose Ban advanced academic degreeC

46、 decades of pollution. These pieces can cause significant issues for marine creatures that ingest them, including inflammation (炎症), reduced feeding and weight-loss. Microplastic pollution may also spread from organism to organism when one creature is eaten by others. Since the pieces can bind to ch

47、emical pollutants, these associated poisons could accumulate in predator species.Mesopelagic (中层的) fish serve as a food source for a large variety of marine animals, including swordfish, dolphins, seals and sea birds. Typically living at depths of 2001,000 meters, these fish swim to the surface at n

48、ight to feed and then return to deeper waters during the day. Through these upright movements, mesopelagic fish play a key role in the cycling of carbon and nutrients from the surface to the deep seaa process known as biogeochemical cycling. This means they could spread microplastic pollution throug

49、hout the marine ecosystem, by carrying microplastics from the surface down to deeper waters, affecting deep-sea organisms.To investigate this further, researchers set out to catch fish in a remote area of the Northwest Atlantic Ocean. The researchers caught mesopelagic fish at varying depths, and th

50、en examined their stomachs for microplastics back in the lab. They used a particular air filter so as not to introduce plastic fibers in the air from the lab environment.The team found a lot of microplastics in the fish stomachs. As the researchers were extremely careful to clear pollution with fibe

51、rs from the air, they were confident that the fish had eaten the fibers in the sea all over the world.The researchers plan further studies to learn more about how these fish are ingesting and spreading microplastics. It will be particularly interesting to see whether the fish eat these microplastics

52、 directly as mistaken foods, or whether they eat them through eating other species, which have previously eaten the microplastics.1、What does the underlined word “ingest” in paragraph 1 mean?AAttack.BSwallow.CIgnore.DAvoid.2、What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?AHow deep-sea fish feed themselves.

53、BWhy Mesopelagic fish are important.CHow microplastics spread to deep sea.DHow dangerous microplastics are to the sea.3、What conclusion did the researchers draw from the study on mesopelagic fish?AFish in the remote area are safe to eat.BPlastic fibers in the air may enter fish.CThey are all pollute

54、d by microplastics.DMesopelagic fish live at varying depths.4、What will further studies focus on?AIn what way microplastics enter Mesopelagic fish.BHow seriously microplastics affect sea creatures.CWhether fish with microplastics harm humans.DHow microplastics spread in the deep ocean.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两
