Barditch High School decided to have an All-School Reunion.Over 450 people came to the event. Here were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park. Several former teachers were on hand to tell stories about the old days. Ms. Mabel Yates, the English teacher for fifty years, was wheeled to the park.
Some eyes rolled and there were a few low groans(嘟囔声)when Ms.Yates was about to speak. Many started looking at their watches and coming up with excuses to be anywhere instead of preparing to listen to a lecture from an old woman who had few kind words for her students and made them work harder than all the other teachers combined.
Then Ms.Yates started to speak: “I can’t tell you how pleased I an to be here. I haven’t seen many of you since your graduation. But I have followed your careers(事业)and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies(不幸). I have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my students. Although I haven’t appeared in person. I have attended your college graduations, weddings and even the birth of your children, in my imagination.
Ms. Yates paused and started crying a bit. Then she continued:“It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me. Regardless of our motives(动机), I can see that you have all been successful in your chosen path.””There is no greater comfort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her years of work. You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I love you all from the bottom of my heart.“
There was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then someone started clapping. The clapping turned into cheering, then into a deafening roar(呼喊). Lawyers, truck drivers, bankers and models were rubbing their eyes or crying openly with no shame all because of the words from a long forgotten English teacher from their hometown.
4. What activity was organized for the school reunion?

A recent study from the University of Minnesota has discovered a simple and powerful way to improve student learning: more natural light. The research team found that students in classrooms with large windows and plenty of sunlight showed considerably better learning performance and focus levels, compared to those in classrooms with smaller windows or primarily artificial (人工的) lighting.
Dr. Emily Carter, the lead researcher, explained the findings. “We’ve long believed that environment matters, but this study provides strong evidence (证据) specifically for natural light,” she said. “It’s not just about seeing better; it’s about the biological influence of sunlight on our focus and mood. This could be a game-changer for how we design schools.” She added that spending money on better window design and skylights could be a cost-effective way to improve students’ learning performance.
The study involved 101 students from three local high schools. Each student took part in learning sessions held in two different classroom environments on separate days: one was a “bright” room with large windows allowing plenty of sunlight, and the other was a “standard” room with smaller windows and relying mostly on ceiling lights. The students completed reading comprehension tasks and memory tests during each session. To ensure fairness, the order in which students experienced the rooms was randomized (随机安排), and the tasks were of similar difficulty.
The results were clear. On average, students scored 10% higher on the memory tests and reported feeling more focused and less tired in the “bright” classroom. Dr. Carter and her team believe these findings offer practical guidance. They suggest that school planners should think about how to get more natural light when designing new school buildings. For existing buildings, simple changes, like moving desks closer to windows or using lighter curtains to allow more light in, can make a real difference.
8. What is the main finding of the study?
A. Students prefer classrooms with more outside view.
B. Large windows can make it hard for students to focus.
C. Artificial lighting is harmful to students’ eyesight over time.
D. Classrooms with more natural light improve student learning.
9. What does the underlined word “game-changer” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Something that makes a big difference. B. A game that can be played indoors.
C. A challenge difficult to overcome. D. A project expensive to complete.
10. What is the main purpose of paragraph 3?
A. To introduce the researchers. B. To present the students’ opinions.
C. To describe the research methods. D. To discuss the cost of the changes.
11. What do the researchers suggest based on their study?
A. Schools should stop using all artificial lights.
B. Students should spend more time outdoors.
C. Classrooms should be painted in brighter colors.
D. School design should make better use of natural light.
D
The idea of turning recycled plastic bottles into clothing is not new. During the past five years, a large number of clothing companies, businesses and environmental organizations have started turning plastics into clothing to deal with plastic pollution. But there’s a problem with this method. Research now shows that microfibers(微纤维)could be the biggest source of plastic in the sea.
Dr. Mark Browne in Santa Barbara, California, has been studying plastic pollution and microfibers for 10 years. He explains that every time synthetic(合成)clothes go into a washing machine, a large number of plastic fibers fall off. Most washing machines can’t collect these microfibers. So every time the water gets out of a washing machine, microfibers enter the sewer and finally end up in the sea.
In 2011, Browne wrote a paper stating that a single piece of synthetic clothing can produce more than 1,900 fibers per wash. Browne collected samples(样本)from seawater and freshwater sites around the world, and used a special way to examine each sample. He discovered that every single water sample contained microfibers.
This is bad news for a number of reasons. Plastic can cause harm to sea life when eaten. Studies have also shown that plastic can take in other pollutants.
Based on this evidence, it may seem surprising that companies and organizations have chosen to turn plastic waste into clothing as an environmental “solution”. Ever though the science has been around for a while, Browne explains that he’s had a difficult time getting companies to listen. When he asked well-known clothing companies to support “Benign by Design”, his research project, which is trying to get clothes that have a bad effect on humans and the environment out of the market, Browne didn’t get a satisfying answer. Only one woman’s clothing company, Eileen Fisher, offered Browne funding.
12. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. New microfibers have been discovered.
B. Making clothes from plastic bottles can’t solve the pollution.
C. The use of plastic bottle has been reduced in the past five years.
D. Turning recycled plastic bottles into clothing hasn’t been put into practice.
13. What’s the main idea of the second paragraph?
A. How to wash synthetic clothes.
B. How to prevent plastic pollution.
C. How microfibers end up in the sea.
D. Relationship between synthetic clothes and microfibers.
14. How does Browne’s Benign by Design research project run?
A. It has achieved great success.
B. It is facing some difficulties.
C. It is supported by many firms.
D. It hasn’t got anything done.
15. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Recycled plastic clothing: solution or pollution?
B. The impact of Microfibers on the sea.
C. Environmental protection: moving forward or backward?
D. Turning plastic into clothing, a new step in environmental protection.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Exam Anxiety
Has this ever happened to you? You’ve been studying hard for your midterm, but when you walk into your exam, your mind goes blank, your heart races fast, you get sweaty palms and find it hard to breathe. ____16____Everyone feels anxious during exams. Usually, it results from a fear of failure, lack of adequate preparation time, and bad experiences taking tests in the past.
This is normal and often helps you work harder, think faster, and generally improve your performance. ____17____You may also feel that other people are managing the exam better than you. This can cause you to feel that your mind has “gone blank” on information you know you have reviewed.
____18____Some choose to ignore the problem, while others don’t review because they think they will do badly anyway— and some even miss exams due to the anxiety. It can also be really easy to think that if you don’t try and then you fail, you won’t feel as bad as if you fail after trying really hard.
So what can you do to fight against the negative mindset and stay calm before and during your test?
____19____Yes, this seems obvious, but it’s worth repeating. If you feel confident that you’ve prepared thoroughly, you’ll feel more confident walking into the test. The second tip is simple: just start. The blank page can maximize your anxiety. ____20____You can always go back and change things later if needed, but a few quick answers can get the ball rolling. Besides, allocating your time is equally important. Look through the whole test before getting started. Mentally allocate how much time you’ll spend on each section. If there’s time to recheck, even better.
A. However, if you are overly anxious about the result, you may be unable to focus on your work.
B. Realizing time is almost up and that there’s still a lot of blank space will make you desperate.
C. After you get the paper, get some questions done right away to build up your confidence.
D. Therefore, people need an appropriate amount of pressure to help deal with exams.
E. If these classic signs of exam anxiety sound familiar, you’re not alone
F. People often deal with exam stress in many unhelpful ways.
G. The first thing you should do is to be prepared.

Barditch High School decided to have an All-School Reunion.Over 450 people came to the event. Here were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park. Several former teachers were on hand to tell stories about the old days. Ms. Mabel Yates, the English teacher for fifty years, was wheeled to the park.
Some eyes rolled and there were a few low groans(嘟囔声)when Ms.Yates was about to speak. Many started looking at their watches and coming up with excuses to be anywhere instead of preparing to listen to a lecture from an old woman who had few kind words for her students and made them work harder than all the other teachers combined.
Then Ms.Yates started to speak: “I can’t tell you how pleased I an to be here. I haven’t seen many of you since your graduation. But I have followed your careers(事业)and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies(不幸). I have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my students. Although I haven’t appeared in person. I have attended your college graduations, weddings and even the birth of your children, in my imagination.
Ms. Yates paused and started crying a bit. Then she continued:“It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me. Regardless of our motives(动机), I can see that you have all been successful in your chosen path.””There is no greater comfort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her years of work. You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I love you all from the bottom of my heart.“
There was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then someone started clapping. The clapping turned into cheering, then into a deafening roar(呼喊). Lawyers, truck drivers, bankers and models were rubbing their eyes or crying openly with no shame all because of the words from a long forgotten English teacher from their hometown.

A recent study from the University of Minnesota has discovered a simple and powerful way to improve student learning: more natural light. The research team found that students in classrooms with large windows and plenty of sunlight showed considerably better learning performance and focus levels, compared to those in classrooms with smaller windows or primarily artificial (人工的) lighting.
Dr. Emily Carter, the lead researcher, explained the findings. “We’ve long believed that environment matters, but this study provides strong evidence (证据) specifically for natural light,” she said. “It’s not just about seeing better; it’s about the biological influence of sunlight on our focus and mood. This could be a game-changer for how we design schools.” She added that spending money on better window design and skylights could be a cost-effective way to improve students’ learning performance.
The study involved 101 students from three local high schools. Each student took part in learning sessions held in two different classroom environments on separate days: one was a “bright” room with large windows allowing plenty of sunlight, and the other was a “standard” room with smaller windows and relying mostly on ceiling lights. The students completed reading comprehension tasks and memory tests during each session. To ensure fairness, the order in which students experienced the rooms was randomized (随机安排), and the tasks were of similar difficulty.
The results were clear. On average, students scored 10% higher on the memory tests and reported feeling more focused and less tired in the “bright” classroom. Dr. Carter and her team believe these findings offer practical guidance. They suggest that school planners should think about how to get more natural light when designing new school buildings. For existing buildings, simple changes, like moving desks closer to windows or using lighter curtains to allow more light in, can make a real difference.
8. What is the main finding of the study?
A. Students prefer classrooms with more outside view.
B. Large windows can make it hard for students to focus.
C. Artificial lighting is harmful to students’ eyesight over time.
D. Classrooms with more natural light improve student learning.
9. What does the underlined word “game-changer” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Something that makes a big difference. B. A game that can be played indoors.
C. A challenge difficult to overcome. D. A project expensive to complete.
10. What is the main purpose of paragraph 3?
A. To introduce the researchers. B. To present the students’ opinions.
C. To describe the research methods. D. To discuss the cost of the changes.
11. What do the researchers suggest based on their study?
A. Schools should stop using all artificial lights.
B. Students should spend more time outdoors.
C. Classrooms should be painted in brighter colors.
D. School design should make better use of natural light.

The idea of turning recycled plastic bottles into clothing is not new. During the past five years, a large number of clothing companies, businesses and environmental organizations have started turning plastics into clothing to deal with plastic pollution. But there’s a problem with this method. Research now shows that microfibers(微纤维)could be the biggest source of plastic in the sea.
Dr. Mark Browne in Santa Barbara, California, has been studying plastic pollution and microfibers for 10 years. He explains that every time synthetic(合成)clothes go into a washing machine, a large number of plastic fibers fall off. Most washing machines can’t collect these microfibers. So every time the water gets out of a washing machine, microfibers enter the sewer and finally end up in the sea.
In 2011, Browne wrote a paper stating that a single piece of synthetic clothing can produce more than 1,900 fibers per wash. Browne collected samples(样本)from seawater and freshwater sites around the world, and used a special way to examine each sample. He discovered that every single water sample contained microfibers.
This is bad news for a number of reasons. Plastic can cause harm to sea life when eaten. Studies have also shown that plastic can take in other pollutants.
Based on this evidence, it may seem surprising that companies and organizations have chosen to turn plastic waste into clothing as an environmental “solution”. Ever though the science has been around for a while, Browne explains that he’s had a difficult time getting companies to listen. When he asked well-known clothing companies to support “Benign by Design”, his research project, which is trying to get clothes that have a bad effect on humans and the environment out of the market, Browne didn’t get a satisfying answer. Only one woman’s clothing company, Eileen Fisher, offered Browne funding.
12. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. New microfibers have been discovered.
B. Making clothes from plastic bottles can’t solve the pollution.
C. The use of plastic bottle has been reduced in the past five years.
D. Turning recycled plastic bottles into clothing hasn’t been put into practice.
13. What’s the main idea of the second paragraph?
A. How to wash synthetic clothes.
B. How to prevent plastic pollution.
C. How microfibers end up in the sea.
D. Relationship between synthetic clothes and microfibers.
14. How does Browne’s Benign by Design research project run?
A. It has achieved great success.
B. It is facing some difficulties.
C. It is supported by many firms.
D. It hasn’t got anything done.
15. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Recycled plastic clothing: solution or pollution?
B. The impact of Microfibers on the sea.
C. Environmental protection: moving forward or backward?
D. Turning plastic into clothing, a new step in environmental protection.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. A

Exam Anxiety
Has this ever happened to you? You’ve been studying hard for your midterm, but when you walk into your exam, your mind goes blank, your heart races fast, you get sweaty palms and find it hard to breathe. ____16____Everyone feels anxious during exams. Usually, it results from a fear of failure, lack of adequate preparation time, and bad experiences taking tests in the past.
This is normal and often helps you work harder, think faster, and generally improve your performance. ____17____You may also feel that other people are managing the exam better than you. This can cause you to feel that your mind has “gone blank” on information you know you have reviewed.
____18____Some choose to ignore the problem, while others don’t review because they think they will do badly anyway— and some even miss exams due to the anxiety. It can also be really easy to think that if you don’t try and then you fail, you won’t feel as bad as if you fail after trying really hard.
So what can you do to fight against the negative mindset and stay calm before and during your test?
____19____Yes, this seems obvious, but it’s worth repeating. If you feel confident that you’ve prepared thoroughly, you’ll feel more confident walking into the test. The second tip is simple: just start. The blank page can maximize your anxiety. ____20____You can always go back and change things later if needed, but a few quick answers can get the ball rolling. Besides, allocating your time is equally important. Look through the whole test before getting started. Mentally allocate how much time you’ll spend on each section. If there’s time to recheck, even better.
A. However, if you are overly anxious about the result, you may be unable to focus on your work.
B. Realizing time is almost up and that there’s still a lot of blank space will make you desperate.
C. After you get the paper, get some questions done right away to build up your confidence.
D. Therefore, people need an appropriate amount of pressure to help deal with exams.
E. If these classic signs of exam anxiety sound familiar, you’re not alone
F. People often deal with exam stress in many unhelpful ways.
G. The first thing you should do is to be prepared.
