He invented earmuffs (耳套) at the age of 15.In 1873, Greenwood got a pair of ice skat es for his birthday. He couldn’t wait to try them out on a nearby pond. While testing his new pair of ice skates, Greenwood grew disappointed at trying to protect his ears from the cold. He made two ear-shaped loops from wire and asked his grandmother to sew for on them.At first, the other kids made fun of them. Then they began asking for ear protectors for themselves. Over the next three years, he made some improvements.When he was just 18, he patented (获得……专利) the improved model, and with Greenwood’s Champion Ear Protectors, he set up Greenwood’s Ear Protector Factory. He made much money by providing Ear Protectors for US soldiers during World War I. In 1883, when he was in his mid-20s, Greenwood employed 5,000 workers in his factory on the west side of Farmington. In 1883 his factory produced many pairs of ear protectors. When asked about his wi shes for 1884, Greenwood said, “We hope to produce one hundred thousand pairs.” Greenwood went on to build a larger factory in downtown Farmington, making it the earmuff capital of the world. In 1936, the year before Greenwood died, his factory produced 400,000 pairs of ear protectors.In 1977, about 100 years after Greenwood received his patent, some people in Farmington decided that he deserved recognition for his famous invention.

I have the ability to hold their attention and impress on them my admiration (爱慕) for the literature of my mother language.I was shocked when the monitor shouted, “Stand up!”The whole class rose as I entered the room. I was confused about how to make them sit down again. But when the embarrassment was over, I quickly kept calm.My students kept diaries. However, as I read them, the satisfaction was gradually replaced by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today. Perhaps her next talk will be better.” I read all the diaries with surprise, and I found each of them had a similar theme. “Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the whole Western philosophy (哲学) and explained the historical background of all the works we will stu dy in class,” I complained. “How should they say I didn’t teach them anything?It was a long term, and it gradually became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as those of my students. I thought a teacher’s job was to raise interesting questions and provide enough background information so that students could give their own opinions. However, my students thought a teacher’s job was to provide exact information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference!Anyway, I also learned a lot, and the experience with my Chinese students has made me a better American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.()34.

The writer isn’t good at teaching English.B. The writer might change her teaching methods.C. Most Chinese students know little about English culture.D. The writer’s experience has made her feel disappointed with herself.DForget “Earth”!“Planet Plastic” may be a more suitable name for our planet. That’s what a group of US scientists concluded after checking for the first time the total amount of plastic that has been produced since the 1950s when the material was first produced at a large scale (规模). 8.3 billion tons of plastic has been produced worldwide. “That’s as heavy as a billion elephants,” said lead author Roland Geyer, an industrial ecologist at the University of California.In the study, the researchers describe how plastic production has been increasing rapidly in recent years. About half of all the plastic that has ever been produced has been made in the past 13 years. Plastic is a cheap and hard material, and it’s used in everything from medical equipment to parts of airplanes. But the problem is where all the plastic is ending up. Of all the plastic produced to date, only about 9 percent has been recycled. The rest has ended up in landfills or polluted our oceans and other natural environment.“Billions of pounds of plastic waste ends up in the world’s waterways every year,” scientists said. In 2015, environmental engineer Jenna Jambeck found that about 19 billion pounds of plastic waste ends up in our oceans each year. If nothing is done to control the plastic flood, this number is set to double by 2025. “That’s really a staggering amount,” Jambeck, who also co-authored the recent study, said.“Since most of plastic waste cannot be recycled, it could be with us for hundreds of years,” Geyer said. And we still don’t really know how plastic waste is affecting the health of humans and other living things. Geyer and his team said they hope their new research will offer some views on plastic pollution and encourage people to act.()38. What is the problem about plastic?A. How to make full use of it.B. How to deal with plastic waste.C. How to make it look good.D. How to make it cheaper.()39. What does the underlined word “staggering” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A. Surprising.B. Bright.C. Pleasing.D. Disappointing.()40. What is the purpose of Geyer and his team doing the study?A. To call on people to reduce plastic waste.B. To show the amount of plastic waste in the ocean.C. To explain the reasons for changing the Earth’s name.D. To encourage people to care about the ocean.()41. Where can we probably read the article?A. In an advertisement.B. In a travel guide.C. In a newspaper.D. In a notice.ESocial media (社交媒体) are becoming very popular. People have completely made social media part of their daily lives. As a result, many people have developed an Internet personality.The Internet personality is the one we shape on our social media sites. We are always posting information about ourselves for other people to know even when it can be completely untrue. Some people even go so far as to spend money in buying followers or buying a very expensive camera for their friends to take photos of them. I find it unbelievable. The time and energy spent on these silly things can only make us want to be accepted by more people.Social media arc also a modem cause of depression (压抑): People see the perfect lives of others and consider their own imperfect lives as bad. Even kids deal with this.I find many people spend more time and energy in making sure that their online personality is worth accepting than caring for their real presence (存在). So many times I have seen confident and beautiful girls on social media. But in the real world, they are quite shy.Social media have gone so far as to even affect marriages. This is because of the fact that there are now “Instagram husbands” —people whose use is to take perfect photos of their partners throughout the day. They spend a lot of time doing that whether they like it or not. Social media are likely to influence relationships in a negative (消极的) way.I think everyone shouldn’t use social media at least for a few months to experience the difference it makes to them. They may find life is very different and much better. ()42. What does “the Internet personality” mentioned by the writer refer to?A. The hope to develop a better personality.B. The personality developed through social media.C. The true personality shown by us on social media.D. The information we get about others on social media.()43. Why are social media a modern cause of depression?A. We may read some sad news.B. We have to try very hard to be accepted.C. We can’t really find much usefu l information.D. We feel sad about ourselves through comparing.()44. What does the example given in Paragraph 4 show?A. Shy people can also become confident.B. Social media make people have more energy.C. Social media make people pay no attention to their true presence.D. People today don’t consider their presence important.()45. What’s most probably the writer’s attitude towards people’s using social media?A. He is for it.B. He is against it.C. He doesn’t have any ideas.D. He doesn’t care for it.第二卷非选择题(25分)IV.语法填空：用所给单词的适当形式填空，未提供单词的根据上下文填入适当的词。
