I knew what lay ahead tough work hours overlaid with guilt, consumed with essays that needed feedback (反馈), and lesson plans with best practice strategies. No wonder people always acknowledge my teaching career with, “Im glad its you and not me.”Suddenly, my mind transported me to my first few years of teaching.“Peter Potter,” I called from my name list, trying to control my laughter. “Laughlin McLaughlin?” Surely these were not real names. “Emotionally disabled . keep them separated from the other kids .,” the Assistant Principal (副校长) manded. This was my first teaching assignment.Surely this year could never be as discouraging as those first few. In my new classroom, I looked into the face of Jason. At eleven, his mother was killed in an accident, leaving him with physical, academic, and certainly emotional scars. I looked at another student, Robert, standing at the door; my Assistant Principal asked if I would take him, even though he was an eleventh grader in my tenth grade class. But then there were and are stories of success of Dustin, in Graduate School for Electrical and puter Engineering; of Michael, now a teacher in a city school; of Willie . I thought of the thousands of students whose lives have touched mine far more than I could have ever touched theirs.I broke from my daydream, a smile spreading across my face. Sadness, tears, challenges, fears yes, teaching is filled with all of these yet, it is also filled with laughter and smiles, hope, dreams, and rewards beyond measure.“Im glad its you and not me.” Those words resounded in my mind once again.24.

In the eighteen-thirties, scientists discovered a way to make ice, which is similar to how a refrigerator works. In 1860, there were four artificial-ice plants in the United States; in 1889, there were about two hundred; by 1909, there were two thousand. Ice now came from factories, not ponds, and it was turned out in three-hundred-pound blocks by lowering steel cans of pure water into tanks of refrigerated salted water. Kept below thirty-two degrees, the salted water did not freeze, but the water in the cans did. Those cans were then lifted from the tank, and the ice was taken out of them.The ice blocks were delivered to home users, and to the fishing and chemical industries. On the railroads, trains carrying fruit and vegetables had cars at each end filled with blocks of ice. It was a growing industry.The great trade began to fall away in the middle years of the twentieth century. The railroad business shrank, and, in the immediate postwar period, block ice lost out to home refrigerators and then to small mercial ice machines. By the nineteen-sixties, things looked very dark. “It was scary,” Dan Detmar, an ice expefl in San Antonio, told me. “Your biggest customers were cafeterias and country clubs, and youd go out there and theyd say, We dont need you any more; weve got ice machines.” Then the panies that survived the slump (a slump is a period when there is a reduction in business) began investing in newly developed ice-cube machines, and by the late sixties American ice was being a packaged-ice business. And packaged ice was exactly what the country needed. These were years of increased leisure time more barbecues, more cars, and more houses by the lake. “Things exploded in the nineteen-seventies,” Paul Hendler said. Ice cubes evolved. They became hugely popular shoveled (铲) here and there into picnic coolers and fast-food sodas. They became noisier.28. What happened at the beginning of the 20th century?A. Ice was mainly used on the railroads. B. There was a great need for iceboxes.C. Ice cubes got popular in the US. D. The ice industry grew very fast.29. What was scary according to Dan Detmar?A. The slump in the block ice market. B. The danger of producing block ice.C. The social problems in the postwar period. D. The problems caused by home refrigerators.30. What can we say about the investment in ice-cube machines?A. It nearly destroyed the US ice industry. B. It helped increase peoples leisure time.C. It proved to be a huge success. D. It caused a decline in ice sales.31. Which can be the best title for the text?A. From ponds to factories B. From ice blocks to ice cubes C. From iceboxes to refrigerators D. From refrigerators to ice machinesDStudents at Powderhouse Studios wont have the typical American high school experience and thats exactly the point of the new school, its founders say. The high school, set to open in a repurposed former school building in Somerville, Mass., wont have grade levels or traditional classes. Instead, students will plete interdisciplinaty (跨学科的) projects that tap into their interests and ambitions. Theyll divide their days between seminars and project-based work, meeting with the education staff for guidance regularly. Students at Powderhouse will work with tutors instead of conventional teachers to learn math, science and the humanities all of which will inform their projects. Classrooms, lectures and lesson plans the things traditional schools are built on wont be a big part of daily life at Powderhouse.In short, Powderhouse will look more like a workplace than a high school. Alec Resnick, one of the schools founders, said Powderhouse will make learning personal for students by helping them identify meaningful project-based work early on.Resnick said that demanding and interesting work is often the thing thats missing for students who feel uninvolved in a traditional high-school setting.“Motivation is missing,” he said. “The way you fix that is to get people doing hard work, not easier or more fun work.”Monica Martinez, an expert in school development, describes a future for American high schools that looks a lot like Powderhouse, with more fluid (易变的) schedules and personalized learning opportunities and finally, with more flexibility for students.“Most of all, students will progress at the rate at which they show mastery of academic content, regardless of time,” Martinez said.Powderhouse will open in xx as part of Somerville Public Schools. The idea of reinventing high school appealed greatly to Somerville Mayor Joseph Curtatone, who asked Resnick and his team at Sprout & Co. to design a high school based on the non-profits popular after-school programs.Powderhouses founders say they hope educators will learn from nontraditional schools like theirs. “Were pretty confident that the future of learning doesnt look like school,” Resnick said.32. Which of the following is a feature of Powderhouse Studios?A. It will offer interdisciplinary projects to the public.B. Students will earn money from the school.C. There will be no traditional teachers.D. It will have no real instruction sites.33. How will Powderhouse Studios involve its students in project-based work?A. By letting them work in real workplaces.B. By providing challenging work for them. C. By encouraging them to plete simpler work.D. By asking them to improve traditional education.34. What do we know about Powdehouse from Martinez?A. It will try to adapt itself to students needs.B. It will stress the importance of motivation.C. Its courses will be designed by students.D. Its schedules will be strictly followed.35. What is Resnicks opinion about high schools in the future?A. They should be more like the real world.B. They will change according to the times.C. They must be based on traditional education.D. They may be more relaxing for most students.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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Business is being more and more demanding. Therefore, a diverse skill set seems to be a must for a pany to keep its operation. 36 Im going to prove that a person should equip himself with different skills and further education is of necessity throughout his life. Firstly, every employee now is supposed to deal with multiple positions in a pany. As can be seen, small to medium-sized panies are being very popular. 37 In the past, a pany tended to have a really large structure in which each employee was responsible for a specified set of related jobs. In other words, an employee today tends to have various responsibilities. 38 Secondly, it is very popular for a person to work in different panies. Improving profits is always a concern for businesses. One of the many methods is to keep employees on a casual basis. 39 Consequently, employees work in multiple panies at the same time, which results in their having to adapt to different jobs. Finally, further education can also be a good opportunity for job seekers to gain petitive advantages. For example, when considering two candidates, whoever has a higher education will have more chance of getting employed. The reason is employers tend not to be just interested in what an employee can do but also his potential.In conclusion, having multiple careers is more advantageous and to obtain that, one must constantly study during his life. 40 A. This is very different from the past.B. This trend is being more and more popular.C. In this way unnecessary expenses can be reduced.D. Further education helps job seekers to have more advantages.E. It allows employees to have more than one role in a pany.F. Therefore, he or she needs to constantly improve his or her skills.G. However, some people are still wondering if a single career is better than several careers.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。I recently asked for a raise from a friend and she agreed.
