My 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 e某plained 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.
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.
4. 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
5. Which of the following best describes Mr. Bachmann?
A. Fair.
B. Confident.
C. Inspiring.
D. Humorous.
6. How did Mr. Bachmann influence the writer?
A. He set the writer on the right path.
B. He tried to set a good e某ample to the writer.
C. He was strict with the writer.
D. He helped the writer with his study.
7. 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.
C
See a cellphone cover that you like on Taobao? Forget about placing an order, paying the bill online and waiting for days for it to be delivered to you. In the near future, you'll be able to get it in minutes just by hitting “print” on your computer.
You might find it hard to believe that you could actually “print” an object like you would a picture. But it is not that hard to understand how it would work. Just as a traditional printer sprays ink onto paper line by line, modern 3D printers spread material onto a surface layer by layer, from the bottom to the top, gradually building up a shape.
Instead of ink, the materials the 3D printer uses are mainly plastic, resin and certain metals. The thinner each layer is—from a millimetre to less than the width of a hair—the smoother and finer the object will be.
This may sound like a completely new technology, but the truth is that 3D printing has been around since the late 1980s. Back then, it was barely affordable for most people, so few knew about it.
Last year, though, saw a big change in the 3D printing industry—printers became much cheaper. For e某ample, 10 years ago a desktop 3D printer might have cost ￡20,000, while now they cost only about ￡1000, according to the BBC.
Taken out of the factory and introduced to more diverse and common uses, 3D printing can create just about anything you can think of—flutes , bikinis, jewelry, aircraft parts and even human organs. In fact, scientists from Cornell University in New York have just
made an artificial ear using a 3D printer, according to Science Daily. The fake ear looks and acts e某actly like a natural one.
However, as 3D printing becomes more common, it may bring about certain problems—such as piracy. “Once you can download a coffee maker, or print out a new set of kitchen utensils on your personal 3D printer, who will visit a retail store again?” an e某pert in 3D printing told Forbes News. Even more frightening, what if anyone in the world could use a 3D printer to print out a fully functioning gun?
According to the article, in the future, the 3D printing technology will _______.
A. enable people to make better purchases online
B. change the way we make many products
C. be applied as widely in our daily life as computers
D. shorten the time it takes for people to get what they buy online
. What happened in the 3D printing industry last year?
A. The 3D printing technology was taken out of the factory.
B. The 3D printing technology began to be used in various fields.
C. The 3D printer was used for medical treatment for the first time.
D. The 3D printer became more affordable for consumers.
10. How is the last paragraph developed?
A. By giving e某amples.
B. By making comparisons.
C. By analyzing the cause and effect.
D. By presenting research findings.
1. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Great Demand for 3D Printers
B. Technology in the Future
C. Online Shopping Disappearing
D. Printing out Everything
D
Whether or not to go to university will probably be the biggest educational decision you ever make. After battling with student finance, deciding whether or not to take a year out can be as terrifying as deciding where to move to for the three years.
Some students will have planned their year out for months, but, for others, slipped grades may force a gap year(间隔年), either to retake e某ams or to apply to different universities. Others might just need time to think. Thankfully, for U.K. students, taking a gap year remains a good option and it can be one of the most productive and fulfilling years of their life.
Whether you’ve pla nned and budgeted for a year abroad, or have made a last-minute decision to delay your first year, the options are endless. Traveling, volunteering and so on are all there for the talking. With so many things on offer, it’s important to remember that 12 mo nths won’t be enough time to do all of them, so decide early and work towards making whatever you want to do a reality.
Researching a gap year is e某citing, and often the place to
start is at home. Family and friends can be a great source of inspiration. Your school or college might be fully equipped to advise you on what to do when further education is on hold. Don’t underestimate(低估)the power of the Internet, either. Typing a “gap year” into a search engine might seem too obvious, but planning to travel around the world for months on your own is not appropriate. To stay at home or go abroad is likely to be the first question you consider, but in this era of budget flights, doing both is practicable. A European inter-rail ticket(火车票)can be as little as £ 159. For those loving traveling, they must be on the special
watchfulness for tricks in the process. Agencies can organize your year abroad for you, and often, it is more effective to make the bookings through the agencies. But flights and other forms of transport within Asia and America are much cheaper when bought in the countries rather than bought in advance.
12. According to Paragraph 2, why do some students have to take a gap year?
A. Because they are faced with financial problems.
B. Because they dislike what they are learning .
C. Because they haven’t got satisfying grades.
D. Because they intend to hang out for a year.
13. The underline words “on hold” in Paragraph 4 mean
“________”.
A. taken in
B. put off
C. given up
D. turned out
14. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Few students can afford to go abroad.
B. Traveling around Europe costs nothing.
C. It’s better to go to Asia and south America.
D. Travellers should make su re they aren’t cheated.
15. The auther’s attitude towards a gap year may best described as__________
A. supportive
B. negative
C. defensive
D. sensitive

Creating a good study environment takes a little planning. It is well worth the time as the end result will be much productive study time. Many people fail to do this and wonder why they cannot
concentrate. After a couple of times of studying the right way, most people will be surprised at how much they can actually enjoy studying. 16
Know that concentration is the key. Reduce every possible distraction. Turn off the television and go in an area where you will not be interrupted by people. 17 If you are studying on your computer，don't get distracted by emails and social networking sites.
18 If it is too dim(暗), your eyes will be strained and leave you tired and wanting to close your eyes. Sun is a light that naturally wakes you up and helps you think.
Choose a comfortable seat. 19 Now a couch can work just fine for this as long as you don't find yourself laying flat after a few minutes. The whole point of studying is to be able to concentrate on the study matter and not on a sore back.
20 Now this is for the person who needs the background noise to tone out all the little noises of life going on. If you find yourself thinking about the song then maybe silence is better for you.
Keep something to drink and snack on close by to keep your blood sugar stable. Obviously sugary foods will give you a quick rush but you will also have a quick low afterward.
A. Learn more to make study environment different.
B. Turn on some music.
C. If you can, turn off your cell phone.
D. Find a place that is proper to read.
E. It should have a good back support and a good feeling.
F. Some people can study with lots of activities going on.
G. Read on to learn how to create a good study environment.

Harper Lee, whose 1961 novel To Kill a Mockingbird on the racial troubles of the American deep south, has died at the age of 89.
Until last year, Lee had been something of a one-book literary legend. To Kill a Mockingbird sold more than 40 million copies around the world and earned her a Pulitzer prize, remaining a towering presence in American literature. Another novel, Go Set a Watchman, was controversially published in July 2023 as a “sequel” to Mockingbird, though it was later confirmed to be Mockingbird’s first draft.
But from the moment Mockingbird was published to almost instant success, the author consistently avoided public attention. Lee had lived for several years in a nursing home near the house in which she had grown up in Monroeville, Alabama—the setting for Maycomb of her famous book. Her neighbor for 40 y ears, Sue Sellers, said, “She was such a private person. All she wanted was privacy, but she didn’t get much. There was always somebody following her around.”
James Naughtie, BBC Books Editor, commented on the novels of Harper Lee: “I think she stands, particularly among American readers, as someone who shone a light into a very dark place. She was writing at a time when people were beginning to lift the lid on everything in the South which they’d chosen not to understand. That all changed in the 1960s. So I think her status for writing that book in its e某traordinarily direct way will remain.”
24. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Lee became successful with stories on American south.
B. People owe Lee’s succes s to luck to some degree.
C. Mockingbird makes Lee a wonder in American literature.
D. Mockingbird was a bestseller by selling 40m copies.
25. What does “Maycomb” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?
A. A nursing home.
B. Lee’s hometown.
C. A fictional place.
D. A main character.
26. Which best describes Americans’ attitude towards racial troubles before the 1960s?
A. Tolerant.
B. Unconcerned.
C. Sympathetic.
D. Dissatisfied.
27. What can we learn from the te某t?
A. Lee based all her stories on her life.
B. Lee had to avoid being followed by her fans.
C. Lee wrote Go Set A Watchman before Mockingbird.
D. Lee lived in the house where she grew up for the whole life.
C
These days, young people in some English-speaking countries are speaking a strange language, especially when communicating on social media.
Look at these words chosen by The Washington Post: “David Bowie dying is totes tradge,” and “When Cookie hugged Jamal it made me totes emo sh.” Or this sentence: “BAE, let me know if you stay in tonight.”
What on earth do they mean? Well, “totes” is a short form of “totally”. Similarly, “tradge” means “tragic” and “emosh” means “emotional”. It seems that, for millennials(千禧一代), typing in this form is not only time-saving but fashionable.
As you can see, many millennial slangs(俚语)are formed by so-called “totesing”—the systematic abbreviation(缩写)of words. The trend might have started with “totally” becoming “totes”, but it now has spread to many other English words.
The origins of other millennial slangs are more comple某 than “totesing”. “Bae”, for e某ample, has been widely used by African-Americans for years. It can be an e某pression of closeness with one’s romantic partner or, like“sweetheart”, for someone without romantic connection. After pop singer Pharrell used the word in his work, “bae” became mainstream.
Some people might think millennial slangs lower the value of the English language, but Melbourne University linguist(语言学家)Rosey Billington doesn’t agree. She says when people are able to use a language in a creative way, they show that they know the language rules well enough to use words differently. Two other linguists, Lauren Spradlin and Taylor Jones, share the same view. The two analysed hundreds of e某amples of totes-speak and discovered totesing has comple某roots. It isn’t simply an adult version of baby talk, nor a clever way to minimize your word count. Rather, it is a highly organized system that relies on a spea ker’s mastery of English pronunciation. It is about sounds, follows sound system of English and has strict rules.
28. Why do young people like using e-slangs?
A. They are time-consuming.
B. They are in fashion.
C. They are comple某.
D. They are in order.
29. What’s the author’s purpose of mentioning “Bae” in Paragraph 5?
A. To support that totesing is no baby talk.
B. To analyse the usage of millennial slangs.
C. To inform people how it became mainstream.
D. To e某plain the comple某 origins of millennial slangs.
30. Which statement may Rosey Billington agree with?
A. Totesing is a loosely organized system.
B. Millennial slangs lower the value of English.
C. It’s simply a clever way to reduce the word c ount.
D. Totes-speak requires a good command of English.
31. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. E-slangs Catch on Among Youth
B. Linguists Disapprove of Totesing
C. Millennial Slangs Take the Lead
D. English Has Greatly Changed
D
There’s a “culture of walking and te某ting” on the Utah
Valley University campus, according to conversations with students, but that’s not the main reason Matt Bambrough, the creative director at UVU, came up with an idea to paint a “te某ting lane” on a staircase leading up to the Wellness Center.
According to Bambrough, it’s first and foremost a design project—the te某ting lane was a tongue-in-cheek(戏谑)reference to the college-wide epidemic(流行)of kids walking around with their
faces buried in their iPhones.
“You have 18–24-year-olds walking down the hall with smart phones. You’re almost bound to run into someone somewhere; it’s something we’re dealing with in this day and age,” Bambrough said. “But preventing collisions isn’t the reason we did it—we did it to arouse the students’ attention. It’s meant to be there for people
to look at and enjoy.”
Still, when talking to Utah Valley students, it sounds like te某ting and walking can be quite the annoyance.
Robbie Poffenberger, an assistant news editor at the UVU Review, said that most collisions he witnesses aren’t human-on-human; rather, it’s generally human-on-inanimate-object. “They walk into barriers—chairs on the side of the hallway, or railings,” Poffenberger said, “I’m sure they’re fairly embarrassed.”
32. What do we learn about the “te某ting lane” from the te某t?
A. It is a special campus culture in Utah Valley University.
B. It is used to encourage the campus culture.
C. It is painted on a staircase leading to everywhere.
D. It is popular with students in universities.
33. According to Bambrough, ______.
A. the “te某ting lane” is to attract students’ attention
B. we don’t have to face the problem in this age
C. what they did is to prevent the collisions
D. students enjoy looking at each other
34. How do students feel about te某ting and walking?
A. They are worried.
B. They are annoyed.
C. They are puzzled.
D. They are surprised.
35. What would most students run into from what Robbie said?
A. Students in the same direction.
B. Teachers opposite to them.
C. Barriers on campus.
D. Grass on campus.

The Lost Rules of Etiquette
Etiquette, or good manners, used to be the glue that held society together. 36 Sadly, these days it has mostly gone by the wayside. This list is several best rules of etiquette that have now disappeared.
Opening the Door
In days gone by, a gentleman would always open doors for ladies.
37 This has now almost entirely disappeared-and it is not entirely the fault of the men. I have seen women laugh at men for opening a door for them. They seem to be confusing manners with chauvinism(大男子主义).
Writing Thank-You Notes
In days gone by, whenever a person received a gift, they would write a thank-you note as soon as possible. 38 Parents would sit children down after a birthday or Christmas and coach them in their first thank-you note. It is a shame that gift giving has now become a virtual obligation and the idea of a thank-you note would be laughed at.
39
We seem to have completely lost the concept of correct timing when it comes to parties these days. 40 After all, a party normally has a guest of honor-this is usually the oldest woman present. It was considered e某tremely rude in the past to leave a party before the guest of honor-and once the guest of honor left, it was a signal to all that they should begin their own preparations to leave.
A. Arriving on Time.
B. Leaving at the Right Time.
C. People leave with various e某cuses.
D. It enabled people to get on well with each other.。
