She spoke in a loud voice and the earth shook whenever she marched. That was in the first year of high school. She was a knowledgeable literature teacher then. However, during my first year in school, she struck terror into my heart(使我胆战心惊). And everyone else’s of course. Just the mention of her name made the most unruly classes silent.Nevertheless, the two years of junior high passed by rather quickly. Soon, I went to senior high class. I had worked hard and gotten the subject combination that I wished for. Together with a group of old friends, I soon settled down in class comfortably.To everyone’s surprise, she was fortunate enough to be my teacher that year. I was shocked when I heard the news. This time round, however, I decided not to hide in terror whenever she was near. I decided to face the fact that we were going to meet each other for the next 365 days. Instead of trying too hard to lick her boots, I tried my best to my natural self in front of her.Still, I could not shake off the ice-cold impression that she put in my heart. True, her jokes sometimes sent me into fits of laughter, yet at other times these jokes simply fell flat the moment she told them. My lovely class, however, was already ready to laugh at the right time of her amusing stories. After all, we would not want to run the risk of provoking(激怒) her.Unluckily, life was not to remain boring. One day we received news that Miss Vicki was to leave Singapore for the Philippines where she would take part in a voluntary teaching program for the poor. We did not know whatto say actually. All of us cried at the airport.24. During the first year in school, the author thought Miss Vicki was .A. proud but patientB. beautiful but strictC. scholarly but seriousD. humorous but single-minded25. What does the underlined phrase “lick her boots” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Win her favor.B. Embarrass her.C. Argue with her. D . Follow her closely.26. What can we learn from Paragraph 4 ?A. Miss Vicki was a good joke teller.B . Miss Vicki’s jokes were always boring.C. Students liked Miss Vicki’s class very much.D. Students pretended to laugh to please Miss Vicki.27. What can we infer about Miss Vicki from the last paragraph?A. She was fired by the school.B . She was not accepted by the students.C. She was unwilling to leave her students.D. She had a strong sense of social responsibility.CHave you ever looked at a fashionable item of clothing and felt confused? If so, your confusion may have made sense. Several months ago, high fashion brand Balenciaga released a “T-shirt shirt”, which is a shirt sewn on the front of a T-shirt. The unusual design has certainly confused a lot of people.But the “double shirt” isn’t fighting alone on the frontier of strangefashion. Ever since US shoe manufacturer Crocs released its famous hole-filled foam shoes, so-called “ugly fashion” hasn’t showed any signs of slowing down, the Business of Fashion website noted.The rise of ugly fashion is a sign that people are bored of looking perfect all the time. Indeed, fashion is all about changes. Something that’s considered uncool one minute can then turn out to be the latest must-have fashion item the next. In the eyes of US fashion writer Megan Collins, ugly doesn’t necessarily mean the design of the item is ugly. After all, ugly is something subjective. “Uglyfashion means ‘not the mainstream’— it’s not what everyone’s wearing; it’s not what the general population considers as ‘in’ right now,” she told style news site Fashionista. But throughout the history of fashion, when any new trend appears, most people tend to hate it, before it eventually becomes loved.Meanwhile, popular social media fashion bloggers also help people to pick up new ugly fashion trends. These bloggers express themselves through their clothes, showing their unique personalities and making statements with their wardrobe (衣物) choices.“I personally love having a unique expression, because without ugly fashion and diversity,we’d all look the same,” Australian fashion influencer and model Zanita Whittington told Fashionista. “I appreciate anything that’s out of the norm.”28.How does the author lead to the topic of the passage?A.By telling a funny story.B.By asking and answering questions.C.By asking questions and giving examples.D.By giving different remarks from different people.29.The underlined word “in” in the passage could be replaced by .A. uglyB. fashionableC. affordableD. expensive30. What will some social media fashion bloggers do to show their personalities?A.They will dress themselves to look perfect.B.They will dress themselves to look perfect.C.They will try some new and exciting clothes.D.They will make statements with others’ clothes choices.31. What can we infer from Zanita Whittington’s words?A. She is in favor of ugly fashion trends.B. She doesn’t care about fashion at all.C.She hopes to be the same as others.D.She wants to look ugly as a model.DHowever exciting space exploration sounds, there’s a vital point about it that needs to be considered: food supplies. Right now, astronauts typically rely on dry food in airtight bags and cans, since there are strict weight limits on items taken into space. Foods that we take for granted, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, are out of the question for space explorers.For those who’ve attempted to grow food during space missions, they’ve faced many difficulties, including the absence of gravity, and a lack of soil, air and humidity ( 湿度 ). However, growing food to supplement and minimize (最小化) the food that must be carried to space will be increasingly important on long-duration missions. Great efforts have been made to explore theconcept of space farming. Recently, a team led by Federico Maggi at the University of Sydney in Australia figured out how plants can absorb nutrients from human urine ( 尿 ), as reported by New Scientist on March 27.After over 20 years of experiments, the results suggested that human urine could supply three to four out of the six nutrients that plants need. The researchers also found out that urine-fertilized plants produce no harmful by-products, such as carbon dioxide or ammonia.According to New Scientist, human urine is 95 percent water, with the other 5 percent composed of nutrients which are harmful to the human body but not to plants. The advantage of this urine-fueled life support system is obvious: By recycling liquid waste and producing food, an efficient cycle will be created.And most importantly, said New Scientist, the duration of space missions will be greatly extended to “20 years of flight”, meaning we may be soon sending astronauts on missions to Mars, or even beyond.32.Space farming is important mainly because .A.food brought from Earth goes bad easily during space flightsB.it will keep astronauts busy when they are on long-term space missionsC.it could provide astronauts with fresh food and reduce the need to bringfood from EarthD.it’s a way for astronauts to learn more about the environment in space33. What can we learn from the University of Sydney research?A.Human urine is harmless to plants.B.Human urine provides six necessary nutrients for plants.C.Urine fertilizer is safer and more productive than chemical fertilizer.D.Urine-fertilized plants only release a small amount of carbon dioxide.34. What is the biggest advantage of using human urine for space farming, according to NewScientist?A.It does little harm to the environment in space.B.It could pave the way for long-term space flights.C.It will greatly reduce the cost of farming in space.D.Urine-fertilized plants are healthier and taste better.35. What’s the text mainly about?A.The significance of space farming.B.Problems facing astronauts on long-term space flights.C.How to use human urine to produce food in space.D.A possible new way to grow food in space.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
