When I was in elementary school, my teachers would always complain about my behavior in class. There was no doubt that I had a great deal of energy, and therefore I was always talking with my classmates and not paying attention to the lessons, which my teacher abominated to see. If you don’t believe me, the comments on my report cards every year can tell the story.
In my third year in elementary school, my teacher wrote, “ Neil should tend to have a more serious attitude towards his schoolwork.” And in my fifth year in elementary school, my teacher wrote, “ Neil is not a bit strict with his work, his compositions as well as his notebook and so on. He has to be encouraged and urged by his parents or teachers.” After only a few months, my sixth-grade teacher wrote, “ Less social involvement and more academic diligence(勤奋) is in order.”
Later that same school year, my sixth-grade teacher noticed that all my book reports were about the universe. Knowing that I had a lot of extra energy, she recommended that I should take
advanced after-school classes about the universe at the Hayden Planetarium.
From then on, my love of the universe became stronger and stronger. Instead of killing my time in class, I focused my extra energy on the subject that would be bound to become my career. Between the ages of eleven and seventeen, I took about eight courses on the universe. For each one, I received an attractive certificate of completion, signed by both the teacher and the head of the Hayden Planetarium.
We still offer these classes today. And we still give out certificates of completion, which are signed by the teacher and, of course, the head --- me. I am the head of the Hayden Planetarium. And I am also the head of a associate of the Department of Astrophysics at the American Museum of Natural History. Both of them are in New York City. Welcome to take extra classes here.
24. What does the underlined word “ abominated” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Ignored B. Preferred C. Regretted D. Hated
25. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Teachers’ great hope for the author’s future.
B. Teachers’ negative comments the author.
C. The author taking teachers’ comments on seriously.
D. The author showing little interest in learning things.
26. The author’s sixth-grade teacher advised the author to ________.
A. learn something he was interested in
B. quit his school for the Hayden Planetarium
C. study hard by burning most of his energy
D. make up his mind to find his career in the future
27. What do we know about the Hayden Planetarium from the passage?

D. The author is the teacher of it.
C
I hated every minute of it, digging in the smelly dirt in spring, planting the tiny seeds in rows, and weeding the plants while sweat poured down my face. I wanted to spend the summer with my friends. But instead, I spent every Saturday and my summer vacations working in my mom’s large vegetable garden. My mom was determined that l would learn how to plant and harvest a proper garden.
I grew up and left home, happy to leave that old vegetable garden behind. But a few years later, living in a little house with my husband, I looked out of the back window and saw a big sunny spot. “That might be a good place for a vegetable garden,” I thought, surprising even myself. I could hear Mom’s voice in my head “Put the peas in rows, and the lettuce in bunches. Leave room between the tomatoes and cucumbers so they can spread. Pulling weeds right after it rains is easier.”
Over the years, with each new house I’ve moved to, the first thing I’ve looked for is room for a garden in the backyard. As a teenager I would complain, sitting down to a table full of fresh vegetables from the garden, but now I exclaim to my own three teens, “Look at all this food you will never eat something so good and fresh picked from your own backyard!”
Now a third of my small backyard is a vegetable garden, and every year it grows just a bit bigger. When my son Simon was five, his eyes became wide as he helped me pick peas and beans one morning. “Wow! Mom, we have so much free food!” So, thanks, Mom, for knowing more than I did, about how much I would love digging in the dirt. Thank you for teaching me when I was unteachable and for somehow sparking(引发) an interest that would lead to a lifetime joy.
28. According to Paragraph 2, the writer felt surprised because____________.
A. she didn't think she would like gardening
B. she could hear Mom’s voice in her head
C. her mother was very good at planting food
D. the place was perfect for a vegetable garden
29. According to the passage, the writer________________.
A. had taught her son how to grow food
B. used to dislike vegetables from Mom’s garden
C. often has her teens help her with food
D. often got free food from the market
30. Why did the writer thank her mother?
A. Because she worked hard to raise her up.
B. Because she left her enough vegetables.
C. Because she made her interested in gardening.
D. Because she made her into a knowledgeable person.
31. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. The smelly dirt. B. My small backyard
C. My happy vacations. D. Our vegetable gardens.
D
Every year, Americans send millions of tons of food to the landfill (垃圾填埋地). What if you could use all of those rotten vegetables to heat your home? That’s happening in one unlikely laboratory: the Newtown Creek Wastewater Treatment Plan in Brooklyn
The plant’s longtime manager, Jimmy Pynn, shows off the plant’s crown jewels: eight huge, shiny, oval-shaped steel tanks known as digester eggs. Each one contains millions of gallons of black material that’s roughly pea soup. Pynn calls it “black gold”. “The digesters like to be fed like us: three times a day,” he says. “They like to be kept warm, 98 degrees. And that’s what we have these guys for: to make methane(甲烷)，which can be used to heat homes or make electricity.”
Right now, what these bacteria are digesting is mostly sewage(污水) mud. But they are being introduced to a new diet food scraps. The hope is that this plant will soon take in hundreds of tons of organic waste from houses and apartments.
“Cardboard packaging, rotten tomatoes, fats, oils, old diary products--those are all great food-stuff for a digester,” says Paul Sellew. “My micro-organisms love that. That’s their five-course meal.”
“Everything in New York City is like big scale when you’re talking about quantities of waste,” says Samantha MacBride. “Right now, it’s all in its infancy. When you’re in an apartment building, to separate out food scraps, it requires a lot of effort and attention,” says MacBride. “It doesn’t have to have unpleasant smell or be inconvenient. But it takes extra work. It’s the first,
what I will call the baby step,” says Paul Sellew. “Because ultimately in New York City, just the restaurants alone, you’re talking well over a million tons a year,” he says.
This new industry is trying to build more plants and digesters to handle all of that waste, says Sellew. The costliest part may be finding good locations in or around the nation’s biggest cities.
As for the trillions of bacteria? They’ll work for free--- as long as you feed them.
32.What role are the digester eggs expected to play?
A. To get black gold from daily waste. B. To produce new diet for humans.
C. To change food scraps into gas. D. To make crown jewels.
33.According to MacBride, what’s the problem for New York City?
A. Its rapid development causes environmental problems.
B. Its system of separate out food scraps is complex.
C. It fails to pay enough attention to recycling.
D. It has too much amount of waste.
34.What might be the biggest difficulty to build more plants?
A. To get enough organic waste as materials. B. To find good places for the factories.
C. To grow trillions of bacteria for free. D. To have money to build digesters.
35.The tone of the last sentence is________.
A. humorous B. suggestive
C. regretful D. curious
第二节(共5小题：每小题2分，满分l0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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Choosing the right college for you is not so easy. 36 The idea can help to guide you to find what fits your needs best. These guidelines will help you figure out what college you want to go to.
Think about what major you want to study in college. If you know what you want to major in, you can only look at colleges that have your major. College is about learning what you love. 37
38 Anyone who tells you the location is not important is lying. If you don’t like cold weather, stay away from northern schools. If you look forward to working in the publishing industry, New York may be your best bet. If your parents want you to stay close to your home, please do not consider anywhere that requires a plane ticket to get to.
Think about how much money you can afford. Are your parents paying for your education? 39 Do you have to control anything? Are you willing to go into major debt over a school? These are all things to consider before you fall in love with a college.
40 The cool thing about college is that each different one attracts different kinds of people. For the first thing in your life, you get to choose where you get to spend your time and who you get to spend it with. Make sure that the people you’re with for four years are your kind of people.
A. Where the college is located matters.
B. You’d better choose a major that is popular.
C. If so, how much are they willing to spend?
D. Go to the college with some people you like.
E. Make sure you’re going to spend time with the right people.
F. You should have a general idea of what you want and don’t want.
A. So think carefully about your major and interests before choosing one.

Dear Mr. Wang,
How are you recently? I’m glad to write to you with my deep thought of you and respect for you. I am studying in Peking University now. I really appreciate what you did for my English study. Without your help, I wouldn’t have accomplished my dream.
In my memory, you are an outstanding teacher who has a strong sense of responsibility. Whatever questions were, you would answer me patiently. Besides, it was you that comforted me when I was upset. You inspired me to fight for my dream and led me to the way of success.
When I want to express my thanks to you now, words fail me. I just hope you can be happy and healthy forever.
Best wishes!
