He made two ear-shaped loops from wire and asked his grandmother to sew for on them.At first, the other kids made

29、 English literature class. I have the ability to hold their attention and impress on them my admiration (爱慕) for the literature of my mother language.I was shocked when the monitor shouted, “Stand up!” The whole class rose as I entered the room. I was confused about how to make them sit down again.
30、But when the embarrassment was over, I quickly kept calm.My students kept diaries. However, as I read them, the satisfaction was gradually replaced by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didnt teach us anything today. Perhaps her next talk will be better.” I read
31、 all the diaries with surprise, and I found each of them had a similar theme. “Didnt I teach them anything? I described the whole Western philosophy (哲学) and explained the historical background of all the works we will study in class,” I complained. “How should they say I didnt teach them anything?I
32、t was a long term, and it gradually became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as those of my students. I thought a teachers job was to raise interesting questions and provide enough background information so that students could give their own opinions. However, my students thought
33、 a teachers job was to provide exact information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference!Anyway, I also learned a lot, and the experience with my Chinese students has made me a better American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.()34.

37、“Planet Plastic” may be a more suitable name for our planet. Thats what a group of US scientists concluded after checking for the first time the total amount of plastic that has been produced since the 1950s when the material was first produced at a large scale (规模). 8.3 billion tons of plastic has
38、been produced worldwide. “Thats as heavy as a billion elephants,” said lead author Roland Geyer, an industrial ecologist at the University of California.In the study, the researchers describe how plastic production has been increasing rapidly in recent years. About half of all the plastic that has e
39、ver been produced has been made in the past 13 years. Plastic is a cheap and hard material, and its used in everything from medical equipment to parts of airplanes. But the problem is where all the plastic is ending up. Of all the plastic produced to date, only about 9 percent has been recycled. The
40、 rest has ended up in landfills or polluted our oceans and other natural environment.“Billions of pounds of plastic waste ends up in the worlds waterways every year,” scientists said. In 2015, environmental engineer Jenna Jambeck found that about 19 billion pounds of plastic waste ends up in our oce
41、ans each year. If nothing is done to control the plastic flood, this number is set to double by 2025. “Thats really a staggering amount,” Jambeck, who also co-authored the recent study, said.“Since most of plastic waste cannot be recycled, it could be with us for hundreds of years,” Geyer said. And
42、we still dont really know how plastic waste is affecting the health of humans and other living things. Geyer and his team said they hope their new research will offer some views on plastic pollution and encourage people to act.()38. What is the problem about plastic?A. How to make full use of it.B.
43、How to deal with plastic waste.C. How to make it look good.D. How to make it cheaper.()39. What does the underlined word “staggering” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A. Surprising. B. Bright.C. Pleasing. D. Disappointing.()40. What is the purpose of Geyer and his team doing the study?A. To call on
44、 people to reduce plastic waste.B. To show the amount of plastic waste in the ocean.C. To explain the reasons for changing the Earths name.D. To encourage people to care about the ocean.()41. Where can we probably read the article?A. In an advertisement.B. In a travel guide.C. In a newspaper.D. In a
45、 notice.ESocial media (社交媒体) are becoming very popular. People have completely made social media part of their daily lives. As a result, many people have developed an Internet personality.The Internet personality is the one we shape on our social media sites. We are always posting information about
46、ourselves for other people to know even when it can be completely untrue. Some people even go so far as to spend money in buying followers or buying a very expensive camera for their friends to take photos of them. I find it unbelievable. The time and energy spent on these silly things can only make
47、 us want to be accepted by more people.Social media arc also a modem cause of depression (压抑): People see the perfect lives of others and consider their own imperfect lives as bad. Even kids deal with this.I find many people spend more time and energy in making sure that their online personality is
48、worth accepting than caring for their real presence (存在). So many times I have seen confident and beautiful girls on social media. But in the real world, they are quite shy.Social media have gone so far as to even affect marriages. This is because of the fact that there are now “Instagram husbands”
49、people whose use is to take perfect photos of their partners throughout the day. They spend a lot of time doing that whether they like it or not. Social media are likely to influence relationships in a negative (消极的) way.I think everyone shouldnt use social media at least for a few months to experience the difference it makes to them. They may find life is very different and much better.()42. What does “the Internet personal
