I've been teaching college for many years.I've long grown used to the torn jeans,slippers,shorts in the dead of the Maine winter,and ball caps worn backward.Still,when one of my students showed up in pajama(E衣）bottoms,I couldn't help asking,"Did you just roll out of bed?"He responded:"Five minutes ago."
I'm familiar with the school of thought that says that how students dress is unrelated,so long as they're learning.I put it in the same category as"Grammar and spelling don't matter,so long as they're expressing themselves".I wonder about the wisdom of blurring(模糊）the line between bed and desk.
I smile when I think back on the occassions that my parents associated with needing to look respectable.Once,when I was 14 and my brother was 12,my father announced that he was taking us into Manhattan(just a subway ride away)to see the play.My brother and I were excited at the hope,but were shortly discouraged when my father directed us to put on our best clothes,including jackets and ties."But why?"I begged,not wanting to change out of my comfortable jeans,T-shirt,and sneakers."Because,"he said,“we're going to New York."I can still see the stars in his eyes as he said these words.
So yes,I do want my students to be comfortable.But I also want to pay my respects to those students who believe that appearances count.
I think of the woman-a somewhat older student-I had in class a few years back.She was someone to whom science did not come easily:She worked determinedly for respectable grades on every homework. But I was struck by how tastefully she dressed,day after day.
Once,I said,"You always looked so nice."Immediately,she answered,"I've waited 12 years to return to school,and I dress up to remind myself to be serious about it."
And,I might add,she seemed perfectly comfortable to me.
24.What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?
A.Students care little about class attendance.
B.Students show their personality through dress.
C.Students tend to ignore their personal appearance.
D.Students make it a habit to be late for school.
25.What's the writer's attitude towards the school of thought?
A.Ambiguous.
B.Supportive.
C.Doubtful.
D.Disapproving.
26.What can we learn about the writer's parents from Paragraph 3?
A.They considered personal appearance important.
B.They looked after their children with great care.
C.They often paid a visit to New York.
D.They preferred dressing formally on a subway.
27.Why did the older student dress tastefully every day?
A.To feel comfortable at class with others.
B.To show her serious attitude towards learning.
C.To impress others with respectable clothes.
D.To hide her embarrassment at poor homework.

American Grace Brown is keeping busy during her first year of high school.She studies all the required subjects,such as English,history and mathematics,as well as taking classes in Latin.She also sings in a music group and plays the piano.The school day lasts from about eight o'clock in the morning to three in the afternoon.But because of her many activities,she has no time for a class in physical education,or PE.
So Grace is getting school credit for virtual PE.She wears a fitness tracker called Fitbit that the high school provided.She wears the Fitbit on her arm while doing exercises lasting 30 minutes or longer three times a week.Her computer has a software program that records her activity which she can present for credit.
A PE teacher may not be guiding the Fitbit-wearing students in person.But teachers do lead students' work by setting goals such as fat burn,using the technology as their eyes and ears."We certainly exercise more in online PE,"Brown said."There's a lot of standing around in regular PE.Online,I do much harder
workouts."
Grace's mother,Rhonda Brown,remembers how hard PE class and softball games were for her
because of blindness in one eye.She would like to see Fairfax County give students permission to avoid PE if they play school sports.
＂We're so stuck in the traditional classroom setting.These kids are burning 2,000 calories(卡路里）during a practice and more at every game,"Rhonda said."I wish the schools would catch up with the times."
It is not clear how many schools are supporting the trend.Technology and the collection of any
student data always raise the problem of student privacy concerns."There is a difference between physical activity and physical education,"said Chris Hersl.Physical activity is great for the body.We want everybody to move,but physical education is a class where students are taught how to move their body and the social context in which to do that."
28.Why does Grace take virtual PE?
A.She is busy with school activities.
B.She prefers something new.
C.She has interest in wearable technology.
D.She loves being tracked while doing P
E.
29.What do PE teachers do while their students are doing virtual PE?
A.Provide some guidance in the flesh.
B.Help students get good personal exercise.
C.Teach students how to wear a fitness tracker.
D.Monitor students with technology all day.
30.Why did Rhonda always avoid playing games at school?
A.She couldn't catch up with the times.
B.She was often stuck in traditional exercise.
C.She couldn't burn 2,000 calories per game.
D.She was blind in one of her eyes.
31.What does Chris stress in his words?
A.Wearable technology threatens students 'privacy.

C.PE is also about students' social connection.

When you think of the Himalayas,you may picture tall,rocky,snow-covered peaks.But that's not true.
The subnival(亚冰雪的）region is the zone between the treeline and the snowline.It is 5 to 15 times as large as the areas of glaciers(冰川）and permanent snow,which means studying it is vital to understanding the Himalayas as a whole.
The treeline is the edge of an ecosystem where trees are able to grow,and beyond the treeline environmental conditions become too tough to allow tree growth.Meanwhile,snowlines are the boundaries on mountains that separate areas with permanent snow(where snow is present for the majority of the year)from areas with seasonal or no snow.
Researchers used satellite data from 1993 to 2018 to measure plant cover between 4,150 meters and 6,000 meters above sea level.The scientists discovered that the greatest increase in plant cover was between an altitude of 5,000 meters and 5,500 meters.Subnival plants mostly include small shrubs and grasses.
Even areas once completely occupied by glaciers now hold rocks covered with mosses(苔藓），
lichen（地衣），and sometimes even flowers.In addition,the snowline seems to be retreating,while the treeline is expanding.This shows that the region is becoming warmer,causing more melting of snow and allowing vegetation to move up in height.
In the past 40 years,25%of all Himalayan ice has been lost due to global warming.Himalayan
glaciers are reducing by about 0.5 meters each year.The rate of glacier melting has doubled in this decade. The melting of glaciers increases water in the region,making it wetter.Receding snow also forces the snowline to move up,providing a greater amount of area for the warm and moist conditions,which are perfect for vegetation growth.
As of now,we do not know whether vegetation will accelerate or slow down the rate of glacier
melting.
32.How does the writer develop the third paragraph?
A.By making explanations.
B.By giving some examples.
C.By analyzing cause and effect.
D.By listing specific data.
33.What does the underlined word"retreating"mean in Paragraph 5?
A.Disappearing.
B.Lengthening.
C. Withdrawing.
D.Widening.
34.What is the direct effect of global warming on the Himalayas?
A.The snowline moves up.
B.Glaciers are melting faster.
C.The subnival area is wetter.
D.Plants grow much better.
35.What is the best title for the text?
A.The Climate of Himalayas Is Changing.
B.Icebergs in the Himalayas Disappear.
C.Plants Are Diverse in the Himalayas.
D.Plant Life Spreads in the Himalayas.

How Do Languages Die?
How many languages do you think there are in the entire world?Altogether,people around the world speak about 6,000 languages.Does that surprise you? 36 Today,about half the world's spoken languages are endangered.Experts say that another language becomes extinct(灭绝）every two weeks.
How do languages die?They die when people stop using them.But most people don't just stop speaking their native language.It's more complex than that.More often,they're either pressured or forced to do so.37 They're often pressured to speak the area's main language instead of their own.This leads many immigrants to stop using their native language.They might not even teach it to their children.
Slowly,the native language dies out.
Sometimes,languages shift or develop instead of becoming extinct.Have you ever heard that Latin is a dead language?In a way,it is.No one today speaks Latin as their native language.38 People still use Latin in many ways.Scientists use it to name plants and animals.
39 That means the death of a language hurts people's ability to take part in cultural traditions. They might lose access to stories and knowledge that were passed down for many years.This is one reason why many people today are working to save dying languages.
How can languages be saved?Some young people learn the language of their ancestors as adults. Linguists travel the world to record the last native speakers of dying languages.40 They do so in hopes that future generations will bring the languages back to life.Many educational programs today also work to help preserve native languages and cultures.
A.There used to be many more!
B.You may have used it in school.
nguage is extremely closely tied to culture.
D.But that doesn't mean it disappeared completely.
E.One example is when people move to a different country.
F.Some native speakers write dictionaries in their language.
G.There are plenty of things to do to help protect languages.
