ADear students,Most of us get some exercise walking or riding our bikes to school, but that just is not enough. Why not get into shape by playing the most popular sport in the world — soccer?Two weeks ago, Mr. Goldstein, the physical education teacher, posted a notice about an exciting new soccer club (for Grades 10-12). To join, all you have to do is sign your name and be at school for the fun of it on Saturday mornings. Yo u’ll make new friends and share information about famous teams and playersMr. Goldstein will teach, s o you’ll learn basic skills and new techniques to improve your game. That’s good news because soccer is a game you can love three seasons a year. The only time you can’t play is when there i s snow.However, it is hard to believe that only nineteen people signed up for the new club. Maybe kids don’t want to give up their Saturday mornings. But if you think about how we spend Saturday mornings now, soccer looks good. Doing housework and watching TV are not as much fun as playing soccer with friends. If you didn’t sign up because you’ve never played soccer before, don’t worry. Beginners are welcome and Mr. Goldstein will give you more help.Just act now! The equipment is cheap. All you have to bring is your feet.The Students’Union21. What can we learn about the club?A. It was probably started two weeks ago.B. It is available every day except on Saturdays.C. It was first set up for beginners.D. It is just open to students of Grade 12.22. What does the writer think of playing soccer?A. It is as interesting as watching TV.B. It makes people famous easily.C. It is a very dangerous game.D. It does students a lot of good.23. The writer writes the passage mainly to __________.A. talk about how to be an excellent soccer playerB. introduce Mr. Goldstein to the students of Grades 10-12C. advise the students to take more exerciseD. encourage the students to join a soccer clubBMy teacher, Mr. August J. Bachmann, was the most influential teacher I ever had.I had gotten into trouble in his class: Another student had pushed me for fun, and I became angry 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 aren't you going to college?"I didn't 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).I've sat on the board for Magnet Schools of America and represented that organization at the United Nations. I've 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.24. 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 by his teachers.25. Which of the following best describes Mr. Bachmann?A. Fair.B. Confident.C. Inspiring.D. Humorous.26. How did Mr. Bachmann influence the writer?A. He set the writer on the right path.B. He tried to set a good example to the writer.C. He was strict with the writer.D. He helped the writer with his study.27. What does the writer think of his achievement?A. He is very proud of himself.B. He feels his effort gets paid off at last.C. He owes his achievement to Mr. Bachmann.D. He thinks it an honor to be a successful educator.CDelicate step gives mosquitoes strength to walk on water.It's not a magical power. Mosquitoes can walk on water because of the angleat which their legs touch its surface.A mosquito's leg is strong enough to bear up to 23 times its total bodyweight, which is one reason why it can walk on water so effortlessly. This is fargreater than the leg strength of other water-walking insects like water striders(水黾), whose legs have been more carefully studied.Jian-Lin Liu of the China University of Petroleum in Qingdao and his colleagues thought a mosquito's advantage might also come from the protective wax and microscopic scales(鳞片) coating its legs. They removed these layers(层) and measured the change in the leg's load-bearing capacity(承重能力), but found that the layers were responsible for less than 12.5 percent of the overall supporting force.The main player turned out to be the angle between the leg and the water surface. The supporting force was strongest when the leg was nearly parallel to the surface. Any angle greater than 62 degrees would make the mosquito fall through the surface.The researchers believe that mosquitoes can adjust this angle during landing and take-off to ensure they remain on the water's surface. This ability is very important because many species land on fresh or still water to lay their eggs in it.The work could inspire insect-like robots and waterproof materials, the team says.28. That a mosquito can walk on water without effort mainly depends on ___________.A. its magical powerB. its light-weight bodyC. the microscopic scales coating its legsD. the angle between its legs and water29. A mosquito gets the strongest supporting force when its legs and the water surface make an angle of ________.A. 0B. 45C. 62D. 9030. What can we learn about a mosquito's legs?A. A mosquito's legs are strong enough to carry other insects on water.B. The strength of a mosquito's legs is greater than that of water striders' legs.C. The layers of a mosquito's legs help a lot in supporting its weight on water.D. When a mosquito puts its legs smaller than 62° to the water, it will fall into it.31. The inspiration from a mosquito's legs can be used to develop ________.A. chemicals to kill mosquitosB. robots to work under the seaC. instruments to observe insectsD. materials to be used in rainsDSome people are so rude!Who sends an e-mail or a text message that just says “Thank you”? Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you? Who asks for a fact easily found on Google? Don't these people realize that they're wasting your time?Maybe I'm the rude one for not appreciating life's little politeness. But many social agreed standards just don't make sense to people drowning in digital communication.In texts, you don't have to declare who you are or even say hello; E-mail, too, is slower than a text; Voice mail is a now impolite way of trying to connect.My father learned this lesson after leaving me a dozen voice mail messages, none of which I listened to. Exasperated, he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never returned his phone calls. “Why are you leaving him voice mails?” my sister asked. “Just text him.”In the age of the smartphone, there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about: the weather forecast, a business's phone number, or directions to a house, a restaurant, which can be easily found on Google Maps. But people still ask these things. And when you answer, they respond with a thank-you e-mail.How to handle these differing standards? Easy: Consider your audience. Some people, especially older ones, appreciate a thank-you message. Others, like me, want no reply.The anthropologist(人类学家) Margaret Mead once said that in traditional societies, the young learn from the old. But in modern societies, the old can also learn from the young. Here's hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time-wasting forms of communication do.32. What does the underlined word "exasperated" mean in the fifth paragraph?A. Worried.B. Annoyed.C. Surprised.D. Tired.33. Why didn't the writer reply to his father?A. He didn’t want to talk with his father.B. He liked text messages better.C. He didn’t receive any voice mail messages.D. He enjoyed checking his voice mails.34. Which of the following does the writer agree to?A. Dealing with voice mail should vary with each individual.B. Declaring who they are or saying hello in texts is necessaryC. People needn't learn from one another in traditional societies.D. People needn’t turn to Google for help when in trouble.35. What's the best title of this passage?A. Nowadays: what means should we use in communicationB. Nowadays: do you like leaving others a voice messageC. Nowadays: what should we do with text messagesD. Nowadays: do you need a thank-you message第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
