Growing up,I thought math class was something to be endured,not enjoyed.I disliked memorizing formulas(公式）and taking tests,all for the dull goal of getting a good grade.One of my teachers told my mother that I was“slow".But my problem wasn't with math itself.In fact, when a topic seemed particularly interesting,I would go to the library and read more about it.
By high school,no one told me that I could become a professional mathematician.What I wanted to do then was to play college football.My ambition was to get an athletic scholarship to attend a Big Ten school.
The chances of that happening were very low.But that didn't stop my coaches from
encouraging me to believe I could reach my goal,and preparing and pushing me to work for it. They made video tapes of my performances and sent them to college coaches around the country.In the end,a Big Ten school,Penn State,did offer me a scholarship.
I wish math teachers were more like football coaches.Students are affected by more than just the quality of a lesson plan.They also respond to the passion of their teachers and the engagement of their peers,and they seek a sense of purpose.They benefit from specific instructions and constant feedback(反馈）.
Until I got to college,I didn't really know what mathematics was.I still thought of it as laborious(耗时贸力的）calculations.Then my professor handed me a book and suggested that I think about a particular problem. It wasn't easy,but it was fascinating.My professor kept giving me problems,and I kept pursuing them. even though I couldn't always solve them immediately.The mathematical research I was doing had little in common with what I did in my high school classrooms.Instead,it was closer to the math and logic puzzles I did on my own as a boy.It gave me that same sense of wonder and curiosity,and it rewarded creativity.I am now a P h.D candidate in mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
24.Why did the writer think math class in school was"something to be endured"before entering college?
A.Because he wasn't interested in math.
B.Because his math teachers didn't care to push him.
C.Because he was too smart and talented for math class.
D.Because he was training hard for an athletic scholarship.
25.According to the writer,students are affected by the following things from teachers or coaches EXCEPT
12
A.a sense of purpose B.constant feedback C.passion D.specific instructions
26.We can conclude that after entering college,the writer
A.was busy looking for math problems to solve
B.studied on his own just as he was in high school
C.met with laborious calculations in his studies
D.began to realize what mathematics really is
27.What is the best title for the text?
A.Interest is the best teacher
B.Be the best-you can make it
C.Math,taught like football
D.Once your teacher,always your teacher
C
A build-it-yourself solar still(蒸馏器）is one of the best ways to obtain drinking water in areas where the liquid is not readily available.Developed by two doctors in the U.S.Department of Agriculture,it's an excellent water collector.Unfortunately,you must carry the necessary equipment with you,since it's all but impossible to find natural substitutes.The only components required,though,are a 5'x5' sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic,six feet of plastic tube,and a container-perhaps just a drinking cup-to catch the water.These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt.
To construct a working still,use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole four feet across and three feet deep.Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher's productivity.Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole.Then lay the tube in place so that one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up-and out-the side of the hole.
Next,cover the hole with the plastic sheet,securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheet's center down with a rock.The plastic should now form a cone(圆锥体）with 45-degree-angled sides.The low point of the sheet must be centered directly over,and no more than three inches above.the cup.
The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic.Ground water evaporates(蒸发） and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form,run down the material and fall off into the cup.When the container is full,you can suck the refreshment out through the tube,and won't have to break down the still every time you need a drink.
12
28.What do we know about the solar still equipment from the first paragraph?
A.It's delicate. B.It's expensive. C.It's complex. D.It's portable.
29.What docs the underlined phrase"the water catcher"in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.The tube. B.The still. C.The hole. D.The cup.
30.What's the last step of constructing a working solar still?
A.Dig a hole of a certain size.
B.Put the cup in place.
C.Weight the sheet's center down.
D.Cover the hole with the plastic sheet.
31.When a solar still works,drops of water come into the cup from
A.the plastic tube B.outside the hole C.the open air D.beneath the sheet
D
Does it matter if a language dies out?The traditional answer is yes,because every language is a repository(智囊）of ideas and culture and represents a unique way of looking at the world.The planet only has about 7,000 languages;the extinction of even one decreases the sum total of human knowledge.
But in some cases,extinction can be seen in a more positive light.Take Al-Sayyid Bedouin Sign Language(ABSL)for example,restricted to about 1,000 users in a small Israeli village with a high level of born deafness,the language seems to be bound to die by the spread of Israeli sign language.
The natural reaction to the loss of ABSL is regret.It is a fascinating language that has kept linguists busy since it came to their attention around 15 years ago.But for the deaf villagers,Israeli sign language is an upgrade:it allows them to speak to tens of thousands of people rather than a few hundred,and enables them to work and marry outside the village.It is hard to see that as anything other than progress.Similarly,other endangered languages die out because people abandon them in favor of ones that serve their needs better.
Technology also softens the blow,as endangered languages can now be captured in detail- which also means they could eventually be brought back from the dead,much as the Hebrew language was in the 19th century.It is now the first language of 9 million people.
Linguists naturally condemn the loss of language much as conservationists(环保主义者）once mourned the loss of every single species.But they are moving towards
12
acceptance that not all species can be saved,that invasive species are not always bad and that human-engineered ecosystems are not necessarily inferior to natural ones.Perhaps our attitudes to language extinction are due for a similar change.
32.What can we infer about ABSL?
A.Another language replaced it.
B.It is an endangered language
C.Linguists have studied it for over I5 years.
D.Deaf villagers prefer to use it.
33.What does the underlined word"Upgrade"in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Recovery. B.Opportunity. C.Improvement D.Update.
34.How does technology affect languages?
A.Technology can remove people's regret.
B.Languages may be rescued from the extinction.
C.Technology increases the number of endangered languages.
D.Endangered languages might be abandoned because of technology.
35.What's the main idea of the text?
A.More and more languages are dying out.
B.Technology creates new languages.
C.People feel ashamed of language extinction.
D.Language extinction is not necessarily a bad thing..

根据短文内容，从短文后的选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。
I didn't like dealing with lines and angles in math class._36 Take advantage of lines, shapes,and angles when reviewing your garden ideas and laying out your yard to add drama and impact.
Relying on artistic principles for landscape design,line is one of the most important and useful of all design elements.37 Think about the distant horizon,the line created when a lawn ends and flower borders begin.A side walk,a driveway,or a fence is a clear and readily accessible line：in the landscape.As you plan and design your garden,always consider the line created by whatever you are adding.
12
There are four main ways to describe lines:curved(弧形的），straight,horizontal,and vertical.38 Curved lines shape informal garden beds and add interest to pathways.Straight lines inspire a sense of order and neatness that is more formal.Calming horizontal lines create a sense of stability.Think of oceans and how its wide expanse meets the sky,creating an acknowledged sense of peacefulness and majesty(壮观）. Vertical lines project a sense of strength and movement.
39 Lines going away from you on the ground draw you forward.Horizontal lines on
the ground slow you down.Vertical lines lead the eye up and out of the garden.Curving lines take the eye on an interesting journey.40 It is up to you to know whee the lines will lead you and what you will see when you get there.
A.All lines are desirable.
B.Everything in the garden involves line.
C.However,I love using them when thinking about landscape ideas.
D.None is more important than the others-each has different effects.
E.No matter which types of line you use,be aware that lines lead the eyes.
F.But you should learn to use them while thinking about your garden design.
G.Using similar landscape features and repeating plants pulls the eye around the garden.
