management principles in a school hall ________ with students.
As she ________ a glass of water, every one of us expected we'd be asked the ________ “glass half-empty or glass half-full” question.
________, with a smile on her face, the professor asked, “How ________ is this glass of water I'm holding?”
All of us shouted out answers ranging from eight ounces to a couple of pounds.
She replied, “From my perspective, the absolute weight of this glass doesn't matter. It all ________ how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute or
two, it's fairly light. If I hold it for an hour straight, its weight might make my arm________ a little. If I hold it for a day straight, my arm will likely cramp up and feel ________ numb (麻木的) and paralyzed, ________ me to drop the glass to the floor. In each case, the ________ of the glass doesn't change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it feels to me.”
As the whole class ________ our heads in agreement, she continued, “Y our ________ and worries in life are very much like this glass of water.
Think about them for a while and ________ happens. Think about them a bit longer and you begin to ache a little. Think about them all day long, and you will feel specially numb and paralyzed— ________ of doing anything else ________ you drop them.”
It's important to remember to ________ your stresses and worries. No matter what happens during the day, as early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don't ________ them through the night and into the next day with you. If you still feel the weight of ________ stress, it's

六、阅读理解
13. Imagine two students. One is constantly shifting in his seat, looking around the classroom, and spinning his pencil. Another is sitting very still
with his hands folded, watching you attentively. Which one is paying closer attention to your words and comprehending more of the lesson?
As a teacher of ADHD (多动症) students, I've learned that all is not as it seems. Some students are better able to control their emotions and minds when their bodies are free to move. This includes students who are autistic (自闭症). Additionally, autistic students often find eye contact uncomfortable and listen best while looking away.
If such students must squeeze their behavior into what many teachers call whole body listening—a motionless body and controlled stare—it could actually disturb their concentration. Perhaps a student who seems distracted (分心) is using his ways to effectively self-control, while one who appears to be listening may be distracted by the need to keep up appearances.
But this doesn't apply to all students. For some, the typical behavior of a "good listener" really does mean that they' re paying attention. So, if you can't use movement or eye contact as a standard of paying attention, how can you tell whether a student is listening attentively?
There are ways you can use to help students to figure this out. Give students freedom to experiment with ways to listen. Y ou could start by explaining to students that you care more about what their minds are doing than what their bodies are doing. Then let them know they are free to look around and move around, as long as they make a sincere effort to listen.
The phrase whole body listening doesn't have to mean controlling natural movement. If we consider the diversity of what various bodies do while listening, whole body listening can take on a new, wide meaning—truly using your whole body to help you listen well.
1. Why are two students mentioned in paragraph 1?
A．To draw the attention of the readers.
B．To present an argument about listening.
C．To show what different students do in class.
D．To warn students to listen to teachers carefully.
2. What should a teacher do to help autistic students concentrate on lessons?
A．Ask them to answer questions.B．Control their body movements.
C．Limit their emotions and minds.D．Avoid watching them in the eyes.
3. What does the underlined word "this" refer to in paragraph 5?
A．Who can be a good listener.B．What good listening looks like.
C．The effort students make to listen.D．The freedom to move around in class.
4. What does the author focus on in the last paragraph?
A．The new meaning of whole body listening.
B．The natural body movements when listening.
C．The teachers' view on whole body listening.
D．The ways to listen with the whole body.

本文介绍了巨型乌贼的危险，告诉我们要了解动物为什么会对我们造成危险，知道如何在危险中保持自己的安全。

14. Jumbo squid (乌贼) are one of the fastest growing animals with long soft bodies in the ocean. They are fierce predators and will attack almost anything that moves. They can eat almost anything. Sometimes, they even eat each other. These squid have tentacles with rows of sharp barbs-tooth-like of anything for catching. They grab their prey in their tentacles and pull it to their mouths. Then they use their sharp beaks to tear it into pieces.
Shanda Magill was diving, when suddenly she was hit by a jumbo squid. The squid grabbed her hose. Shanda knew that jumbo squid taste things with their tentacles and that it was trying to see if she would be good to eat. The jumbo squid jerked Shanda around in the water. She didn’t know which direction was up. Shanda kicked as hard as she could. Lucky for her, she kicked herself free from this dangerous creature.
Shanda was one of the luckiest survivors. However, animals don’t usually attack people for no reason. A very hungry animal might attack something that looks like food. Most animals are very protective of their young. If anything comes close, they will attack to defend their family. Many animals attack to protect their territory. It is very important for people to know why animals can be dangerous. People also need to know how they can keep themselves safe while in danger, or in case of emergency and urgency.
1. Which of the following is not the description of jumbo squid?
A．They are a kind of sea creature with long soft bodies and tentacles.
B．They eat by grabbing the prey and pulling it into their mouths.
C．They have sharp tooth-like barbs for catching their prey.
D．They hide at the edge of the water, waiting for prey.
2. How did Shanda manage to survive herself?
A．She was making greatest efforts to swim away from the squid.
B．She hit the squid with her feet, exerting all her strength.
C．She was struggling to dive deep into the sea.
D．She swam to the opposite direction.
3. Which can be the best subtitle for the third paragraph?
A．Understanding Animals B．Dangerous Jumbo Squid
C．In Jumbo Squid Territory D．An Unexpected Experience
4. What’s the main purpose of the text?
A．To explain why jumbo squid are very dangerous.
B．To describe how and where jumbo squid are now living.
C．To tell people to learn how to protect themselves facing danger.
D．To encourage people to try their best to do something to protect animals.

15. Head to Mozambique for your holiday? This southeast African country is filled with beautiful beaches and interesting architecture. Here are
some destinations to add to your Mozambique timetable.
T he City of M aputo
The capital city, south of the country, is famous for its architecture, with one of the most popular buildings being the train station. Because this country was colonized (殖民) by the Portuguese, there is an almost southern European feel to the city and its structures. Tour the open-air markets and take advantage of the unique culture and plentiful accommodations Maputo has to offer! The city is currently experiencing a period of growth and renewal, as many overseas businesses are opening up locations here.
Ponta do Ouro

M t. Namuli
Most of the area surrounding this granite (花岗石) dome is dominated by heavy forests and tea plantations. The view of Mt. Namuli is breathtaking. It’s difficult to get to the mountain, but there are trails nearby that are pretty to walk. If you are determined to climb Mt. Namuli, hire a local guide who can detail local customs and act as a go-between for you.
Lake M alawi

文章讲述了日本最新的空间太阳能发电计划，该计划呼吁对空间太阳能发电系统进行近地轨道演示，该系统将使用轨道卫星从太阳发电，并在2025年前将其送回地球。

16. The National Space Society (NSS) strongly supports Japan’s updated plan for space solar power, which calls for a low Earth orbit demonstration of a space solar power system that will use an orbiting satellite to generate power from the sun and send it back to Earth by 2025. This will be the first ever technical demonstration of space solar power transmitted back to Earth, which can ultimately provide limitless clean energy and help to wean society from polluting fossil fuels.
“Space solar power has the potential to deliver enormous quantities of clean, carbon-free energy to the people of Earth every day, 365 days a year,” said Dale Skran, NSS COO. “No new understanding of physics is needed, but we need to be spending money now to bring SSP to reality so that it can live up to its promise.”
The United Kingdom has developed a proposal to deliver its own operational space solar satellite by 2040. According to the UK plan, “Space Based Solar Power is a renewable technology which provides continuous base load power without intermittency and could be available at large scale.” The plan notes that this new clean energy technology is technically feasible, environmentally sound, and will be affordable.
John Mankins, a recognized expert in space solar power, observed, “Traditionally space solar power has been seen as technically feasible but not economically competitive with other forms of electricity production. However, advances in robotics are expected to make construction and operation of large space systems much less expensive than using spacewalking astronauts, and a generation of large, low cost, reusable launch vehicles such as SpaceX’s Starship are fast approaching orbital flight status.”
The new Japanese plan is unique, and mandates—as opposed to proposing—an end-to-end demonstration. Tokyo has studied this problem for decades; this will be a working technological demonstration to validate an entire system architecture in orbit.
1. Which is true about Japan’s updated plan?
A．It is better than the UK’s proposal.
B．It involves a demonstration of a space solar power system.
C．It doesn’t require the use of an orbiting satellite.
D．It plans to generate power from the sun and send it back to Earth in 2025.
2. What is Dale Skran’s attitude to SSP technology?
A．Indifferent.B．Concerned.C．Critical.D．Promising.
3. What do we know about space solar power according to John Mankins?
A．It is technically practicable.B．It is economically affordable.
C．It will relieve the burden of spacewalking astronauts.D．It will greatly facilitate orbiting vehicles.
4. What is the best title for the text?
A．The Promising Future of SSP
B．How to Bring SSP to Reality
C．Tokyo Commits to Space Solar Power Demo by 2025
D．The UK Proposes to Send Its Space Solar Satellite by 2040

17. Sports offer kids the ability to exercise while having fun, the chance to learn how to play as a team, and a good way to develop athletic skills.
Despite these benefits, 70% of kids quit sports by the age of 13. 1 .
◆ 2 .
Have you ever watched kindergarteners play soccer against another team of kindergarteners? It is both enjoyable and amusing. No matter what the score, all the kids have a good time and are happy.
3 . The focus changes from having fun to practicing skills. Only the pre-teens with the best skills can get the most time in the game. What
was a fun activity at age 5 becomes a source of stress and pressure for a pre-teen. Those who are not among the most talented players tend to quit and find something else they might be good at.
◆ It costs more.
4 . Parents of a pre-teen are going to need to purchase a uniform, gear, and equipment. Teams need to travel to compete against teams from
other schools or districts. Parents who want to watch the games now have extra gas costs to deal with.
Therefore, when an activity becomes expensive, parents start pushing their pre-teen to do well in it. Perhaps the parents complain that if their pre-teen is sitting on the bench, or isn’t the star player, the money wasn’t worth it. This adds extra pressure on a pre-teen who might quit the team.
◆ It’s the age.
Parents need to remember that pre-teens are going through a lot of changes. Their bodies are changing. School has become more challenging (and requires them to manage a lot of homework). 5 If your pre-teen’s friends quit playing soccer, your pre-teen might quit as well.
A．Their peers are becoming more important to them than their family is.
B．The more money in a sport, the less participation in it.
C．As kids get older, the experience of playing sports changes.
D．The older a player gets, the more expensive the participation in a sport becomes.
E．It stops being fun.
F．Here are some reasons why that happens.
G．Their friends are becoming bored of some sport.

他们说，这一变化表明湄公河沿岸修建的水坝可能造成了一个问题。

18. 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

Experts say a recent change in the color of the Mekong River—from yellowish-brown to sky-blue-could be a worrying sign. They say the change suggests a possible problem 1 (cause)by dams that have been built along the Mekong. The river covers 2 distance of 4, 300 kilometers. It begins high in the mountains of Tibet and flows through China and five other countries.
The Mekong usually has a yellowish-brown color 3 results from the sediment(沉淀物)it normally carries. But recent 4 (report)say it has been running clear and taking on a bluish-green color. At the same time, the water levels 5 (become)unusually low, creating sandbanks that enable people 6 (stand)in the middle of the river. The low water levels 7 (clear)cause problems for fishermen and farmers. But experts in Thailand say the decrease in sediment 8 (represent)a different threat, one that can result in a greater erosion of the sides and bottom of the river.
Experts and people living along the river blame the changes 9 . a large dam upriver in Laos. The dam began operating in October. Critics say it is blocking much sediment from flowing down the river. About 70 million people depend on the Mekong River for water, food, jobs, agriculture and
transportation. Critics say several large dam projects along the Mekong are harming the river and 10 (it)environment.。
