I gained this belief from my third grade teacher, the most special, honored, trustworthy, and loved person in my life.Mr. Myrus was always perfectly dressed and spoke with the belief that talking to eight-year-olds didn’t mean he had to sacrifice proper statements or grammars. And he w as demanding, but he wasn’t unreasonable or cruel. He simply felt that no matter what your best was, you should achieve it.As luck would have it, I met him again as my eighth grade math teacher. I was not, nor ever will be, gifted in math. I remember my struggles in class. “I don’t know the answer,” I would say, “I can’t do it!” “Perhaps you don’t know the answer,” he would say quietly. “Do you think we might figure it out together?How do you know what you can do until you try?”Mr. Myrus lived around the comer, and I would often stop by to talk while he worked in his garden. I knew there was someone who let me know that if I had really tried, that was enough. “Don’t be so hard on yourself,” he’d say. “Stop blaming yourself. Did you try your best? Well, then you’re not a failure,” he often told me these words.Mr. Myrus died in 1978. I had never thought about his death. He was too young. I felt sorry. But when I think about him now, I don’t feel so sorry. He taught me to be kind, not only to others, but to myself. He taught me my own value. He taught me about honor, about truth, and about doing my best — and all feelings and beliefs have dignity and deserve respect. And of all the things I know, this I believe: We can’t all be “the best”, but we can, eac h of us, be our best, and I know that’s true because Mr. Myrus told me that.24.What does the underlined word “demanding” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A.Strict.B. Serious.C. Critical.D. Careful.25.Why did the author think he was a lucky dog?A.He got a great belief from his teacher.B.

A. He is usually unconcernedwith the students.B.He is responsible for his students and his teaching.C.He is a person who isn’t particular about what he wears.D.He sometimes is cruel and unreasonable to his students. CScientists in Britain have managed to teach bumblebees (大黄蜂) to pull strings to get to food and then pass on what they have learned to others in their colony (群体) — showing a high level of intelligence despite their tiny brains.Researchers at Queen Mary University of London said the experiments, often used to test the intelligence of apes (猿) and birds, showed for the first time that some insects are up to the task, and can also pass skills on through several generations.The findings add to the evidence suggesting the ability for “culture spread” — the ability to learn and pass on knowledge and skills — may not be unique to humans.In the research, published in the journal PLOS Biology on Tuesday, the scientists were able to train 23 out of a group of 40 bees to pull strings with their legs and feet.The strings were attached to discs —or artificial “flowers” —containing food at their center but placed under a transparent screen. The bees, spotting the food beneath the screen, learned to pull the “flowers” out by pulling the string with their legs and fe et to be able to get to it.From another group of bees given the chance to solve the task without any training, only two of 110 were successful.Another group of bees was then allowed to observe the trained bees pulling the strings, and 60 percent of them successfully learned the skill. Finally, trained bees were put in colonies, and the scientists found the technique spread successfully to a majority of the colony’s worker bees.Lars Chittka, a Queen Mary University professor who guided the project, said the team is interested in figuring out the brain processes behind the bees’ learning and teaching skills.28.What did the researchers find about bees?A.Bees are as clever as birds.B. Bees learn best in insects.C. Bees are born good learners.D. Bees can be trained to learn skills.29.What may the research team focus on next?A.What else bees can do.B. How bees’ brains work.C. How bees teach others.D. Where bees learn skills.30.How does the author develop the text?A.By drawing a conclusion through a research.B. By providing typical examples.C. By comparing opinions from different fields.D. By presenting a cause and analyzingits effects.31.Which of the following may be the best title for the text?A.Let Bees LearnB. Bees Are SmarterC. Bees Can Learn and TeachD. A SuccessfulResearch DTwo-thirds of the world’s major rivers have now been disrupted (中断) with more than 50,000 dams in an attempt to store water and provide power. In the US, there are more than 85,000 dams, disrupting large and small rivers and in most cases transforming natural flow. The most famous of these, the Hoover Damconstructed in the 1930’s, is mainly responsible for the fact that the Colorado River no longer reaches the ocean.Dams, besides all their attractive benefits, also have negative impacts. Creating a reservoir (水库) means a large area must be flooded. Communities may lose their land houses and cultural relics (遗址). Down stream of a dam, the flow may be reduced so that farmers cannot irrigate their fields.Environmentally, the new reservoir can be a paradise for wildlife especially birds. However, it can cause greenhouse gas emissions (排放) and poison the water for fish. Also, the dramatic rise and fall of water levels during dam releases is too extreme for plains and animals to cope with, resulting in dead zones around the shores of reservoirs. Fish that lay their eggs in the shallows, for example, may find a few hours later that those sites are high and dry.D ams don’t just block water flow. The flow may be reduced so that farmers will have great trouble getting water for their fields. They also prevent fish migrations and are a barrier to sediment (沉淀物) flows. Instead of rushing downriver, sediments get backed up against the dam wall, which cause the reservoir level to increase over time. However, sediments which are rich in nutrients have become a problem. The fertility of the entire system can be influenced by soils lost during seasonal rains, not being replaced.Perhaps the biggest problem can be seen in deltas (三角洲), often host to large cities, which are sinking into the oceans. Groundwater is being extracted to feed the city, causing the urban weight to sink and sediments washed away by the ocean are no longer being replaced. The result is that sea levels rise in cities from Shanghai to Alexandria.32.What effects does creating a reservoir have on people’s life?a.People will see fewer birds near the rivers.b.Farmers below the dam may have less water to irrigate their fields.c.Visitors can’t see some cultural relics anymore.d.More conflicts and wars over water will break out.e.All kinds of fish will become extinct in the future.A.b cB. c eC. b eD. a d33.With many dams built across rivers, fish will .A.find more places to lay their eggsB. feed on more sediments rich innutrients C. face a more dangerous living habitat D. find it easier to deal with the rise of water34.How can dams influence the cities like Shanghai?A.Their entire systems will be influenced.B. They will lie below sea level in thefuture.C. The rainy season will last longer.D. Rich soils will be washed away.35.What does the text mainly talk about?A.Economical gain of dams.B. Cultural loss of dams.C. Environmental benefits of dams.D. Environmental loss of dams.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。
