16、ery protective over him. We lived near a busy road. As my son was too young, we were super vigilant for fear that he should go out of the front door.Cindy knew that our son wasnt allowed to go through the front door without us, so whenever Tony touched thefront door handle, she would push him back.

17、One morning, around 4 am, our son somehow managed to “escape”through his bedroom window, and Cindy had to follow.At 5 am, the police woke us knocking on the door. They said, “Your son was nearly killed but the dog saved him.” They then repeated what the truck driver had said.He told them that he was

18、 driving alongin the dark and in the distance he could see something “light coloured” moving on the road. As he got closer, he could see a dog at the side of the road barking at it. At the last moment, he realized that it was a child and was about to change the direction. The dog was still barking,

19、glancing( 扫 视 ) between the truck and the child. While the driver was braking( ), the dog ran out into the road, jumped at the childs back and threw him out of the path of the truck. At the same time, the truck hit the dog and she was killed.The driver said that hed never believe what he saw unless

20、it was with his own eyes. He thought that the dog definitely knew the danger, which was why she was barking so anxiously. He said “that dog just saved that kids life and it knew what it was doing.”That was 39 years ago and I still miss Cindy every day.Which of the following is the closest in meaning

22、.What is the best title for the text?A Terrible AccidentA Dangerous EscapeA Barking HeroA Careless DriverCAt the foot of an Icelandic volcano, a newly-opened plant is taking CO2 from the air and turning it to rock. This technology is known as “direct air capture(捕捉)” or DAC. Its a bit like “mining”

23、the sky for CO2-simple in principle, but very difficult to carry out.To do this, you need the right geography conditions. That is why Climeworks, a Swiss company, built the Orca plant in Iceland. There, fans draw air into big black containers where the ) catches CO2. Once the filter is full, it is h

24、eated to around 100C to separate CO2 with sufficient energy from volcanic activity. Next, the collected CO2 is combined with water and pumped deep underground into rock formations. Within a few years, the CO2 will turn into stone.However, exciting and promising as this technology is, it wont save us

25、 from climate change on its own. While Orca, the largest plant of its kind in the world, can capture up to 4000 tons of CO2 per year, the yearly global emissions() are around 33.4 billion tons of CO2-so the plant can deal with 0.00001% of our yearly emissions.Besides, the process is expensive and re

26、quires large amounts of energy.Daniel Egger, the chief commercial officer at Climeworks, said that while his company is at an “industrial level”, it is not where it needs to be to make a difference in fighting climate change. But we have to learn to walk before we can run.Carbon storage ( 碳储存) is ju

It wont help us fix climate change yet, but it can beimportant down the line-if we have the right conditions for it.What can we learn about DAC according to the text?It is the best way to fix climate change at present.It requires enough heat and energy to operate.It is hi

28、ghly developed in removing CO2.It can be applied anywhere in the world.Why are some data used in paragraph 3?To indicate the bright future of the technology.To provide the research results for the readers.To show the challenges DAC faces at present.To call for more plants like Orca to be set up.What

29、 is the authors attitude towards the technology?Unclear.Uninterested.Doubtful.Hopeful.From which is the text probably taken?A science report.A company leaflet.A chemistry textbook.A social web page.DIn a recent staff meeting, my colleagues and I discussed ways to alleviate the current stress our 11t

30、h-grade students were feeling. I offered a successful strategy that I use for organizing work in the classroom-negotiating() due dates. The assistant replied, “Yes, a good idea, being flexible with due dates.” Flexible? That was not the word I used, and to me, those two words are not interchangeable

31、; flexibility and negotiation are not the same thing.Being flexible can help decrease stress and anxiety in the classroom. It shows willingness on the part of the teacher to listen, engage in conversation with students, and shift and adapt when possible. But the balance of power has not really chang

32、ed. The student still needs to ask for permission, which may or may not be given. In a week when my work seems manageable, I may be feeling generous, but in a week when my workload is high, I may be less likely to lean toward flexibility. So flexibility might mean an extra hour, half a day, or a few

33、 days.In either case the student has no power. In many ways, by the time students reach the stage of having to ask, its too late. The stress has already increased, and students are placed in a position where they may make poor decisions, like cutting classes, to get some extra time.Negotiation is di

34、fferent. It happens at the beginning of the process and is a proactive( 先行一步的) approach thatencourages shared ownership, an acceptance of equal responsibility. Negotiating brings the teacher and students together to address the issue equally. The date by which work will be done is a question for all

35、, but the student does need to do the work, and the teacher needs to assess it. There are competing needs and schedules and workloads.Sometimes even the smallest things are worth considering carefully. In teaching, there is nothing small. As a teacher, I usually self-reflect my practice, and strengt

36、hen my practice.What does the author think of the assistants reply?It is a convincing statement.It is a wrong interpretation.It is a detailed description.It is a positive response.What is the authors opinion of being flexible?It makes the students feel free.It is a win-win choice in class.It is a st

37、rategy to remove stress.It allows the teacher the final say.How does negotiation work according to the author?By encouraging competition among students.By helping teachers assess their responsibility.By creating harmony and equality in the class.By providing a way to reduce studentsworkload.What can

38、 we infer about the author from the text?He is expert at arguing with others.He is committed to his teaching work.He is worried about the current education.He is doubtful about the assistants ability.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Nowadays, in the age of rou
