19．Schools are finding many ways to deal with teacher shortages as the school year is coming．But what really needs to be done to fix this annual problem，says The New York Times'Frank Bruni，is to give the teaching profession a reboot．Teaching has become one of the least popular profes-sions．When the economy improves，people turn their attention elsewhere，to professions that promise more money，more independence，or more respect．
With starting salaries for teachers hardly reaching¥30，000per year，any student graduation from college with student debts is going to turn to professions that can promise more money．The av-erage teacher is struggling to provide for families and keep up with financial plans．
As for independence，the political battles over education，along with the lasting discussion on what's the best education，have left many teachers feeling like punching bags（攻擊目標(biāo)）．Policy-makers don't know what's actually occurring inside the classroom，and make legislation（法規(guī)）without considering teachers'opinions．Also，licensing requirement differences across states make it difficult for teachers to find jobs in other states．
Bruni says the first step in fixing the mess has to start with adding the respect that hard-work-ing educators need and deserve．"To do this is to make becoming a teacher more attractive．"Bruni said，and mentioned Finland，where teachers are highly respected because entering the profession needs strict training．
The development and prosperity（繁榮）of our nation depend on teaching no less than on Wall Street's plans or Silicon Valley's innovations（革新）．So let's make the classroom．destination as exciting and meaningful as any other．
28．According to the text，why do graduates not want to be teachersD
A．They think the job is tiring．
B．They have to support their families．
C．It is hard for them to get a teaching license．
D．They want to earn more to pay off their debts．
29．The underlined words"a reboot"in Paragraph 1can best be replaced by"B"．
A．a(chǎn) reasonable explanation  
B．a(chǎn)ctive encouragement
C．a(chǎn) new meaning          
D．a(chǎn) fair judgment
30．Teachers lack independence because-D
A．their daily life is often disturbed
B．they may be the punching bags sometimes
C．they have to meet the licensing requirements
D．their views are often ignored by policymakers
31．What is mainly stressed in the last paragraphC
A．The features of education．
B．The changes in education．
C．The importance of education．
D．The present situation of education．

I’m part of the Roots & Shoots program founded by Dr. Jane Goodall. The program is intended to make and promote positive changes in the world. As Dr. Goodall says, “What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”

In Bulgaria, where I live, homeless dogs are everywhere. Many people here turn a blind eye to them. But I cannot ignore the life of a street dog whenever I see one wandering in the street, looking for something to eat. That’s why I’m no longer a food waster. When I see wasted food, I always think of a hungry dog climbing to garbage bins, searching for food that people have thrown there. When eating in a restaurant, I’m not afraid to take leftover food to feed stray cats or dogs.

A week ago, I saw a homeless dog around the garbage bins. Immediately I knelt down, spoke to her softly and ran my hands over her. I could see that she had had puppies. I couldn’t imagine how she could have been able to care for them. Hours earlier, I’d bagged up a plate of leftover fish. As I unwrapped it, she wagged her tail and sniffed at it. She ate all the fish in no time.

It’s sad, isn’t it? I can’t understand why many of us waste so much and think little of it. These homeless animals have taught me that food is precious. Even when I don’t have leftovers with me, I’ll take the time to get something from the grocery store to feed them.

I know my power is small, so I hope that next time you see wasted food, do turn it into worthy food. You have the power to save a life!

1.The author uses what Dr. Goodall says to show__________.

A. how we can develop our business

B. why it is important to be great

C. why the program is popular globally

D. how we can change the world positively

2.What can be concluded from the text?

A. There are few homeless dogs where the author lives

B. The author takes homeless dogs home and raises them

C. Seeing homeless dogs makes the author never waste food

D. People throw food into garbage bins to feed homeless dogs

3.The author took the leftover fish with him to____________.

A. feed a homeless dog he met

B. eat it when he was hungry

C. look for more homeless animals

D. set an example to those who throw away food

4.The author wrote the text to ask us to__________.

A. value our food B. treat dogs as our friends

C. save wasted food for homeless dogs D. raise homeless dogs and cats

Dictionaries are not closed books. There is still plenty of room for more words in these great vocabulary authorities.

Dictionaries are not closed books. There is still plenty of room for more words in these great vocabulary authorities. New words are continually being created and added to our language. And many of today's word experts can credit a famous mathematician with the creation of the method by which they develop many new words. The mathematician was an Englishman named Charles L. Dodgson. In addition to working with figures, Dodgson wrote books. His imaginative stories and poems have made Dodgson beloved to generations of readers. We know him, however, not by the name of Dodgson but by his pen name, Lewis Carroll.

Lewis Carroll has delighted countless readers, young and old, with Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass, and numerous poems. In these works, Carroll developed dozens of nonsensical words such as "chortle" and "galumph". Many of these words are combined naturally with more common words in the English language. Carroll referred to his made-up words as "portmanteau" words, named after a kind of leather suitcase that opens into two compartments. The name was well suited, because most of Carroll's words had two compartments. Rather than being entirely fabricated（虛構(gòu)）, they were usually made from the combined parts of two different words. A "snark", for example, clearly came from a snake and a shark.

Although Carroll died long ago, his technique continues to be used today. We clearly see his influence in such words as smog, brunch, and guesstimate.

1.What does the underlined sentence probably mean according to the passage?

A. Dictionaries are open to the public.

B. Dictionaries are helpful to the public.

C. Dictionaries are ready to welcome new words.

D. The vocabularies in dictionaries are limited.

2.Dodgson's made-up words ________.

A. are based on different words

B. are borrowed from other languages

C. all come from his poems

D. are still widely used

3.This passage is mainly about ________.

A. how Dodgson wrote his works

B. how English words are created

C. how a dictionary is written

D. how Dodgson created new words

Lisa, a middle-aged woman, went to prepare lunch, leaving her 3-year-old son, Barney, playing by himself in the backyard.

All of a sudden, a sharp cry of Barney came into the mother's ears, and Lisa rushed into the backyard and found a big snake entwining（糾纏） the little child with its body and trying to swallow the boy. Lisa was terrified and quite angry. She made up her mind to save her son from the snake's mouth.

It was a fearless mother's love that made Lisa forget what she faced. She took up an old hatchet （斧頭）from the ground and struck the snake with all her strength.

One...two... With the hatchet, Lisa hit the snake again and again, but she felt as if she were striking a mass of solid(堅(jiān)固的) rubber. The little boy's voice and breath were getting weaker and weaker. Lisa's heart was broken and she nearly went mad.

Suddenly Lisa put aside the hatchet and threw herself on to the snake, opened her mouth and bit into its back, as if tearing a tough steak（牛排）. Lisa was really mad.

A small piece of flesh was bitten off. Lisa picked up the hatchet again and hit at the wound in the snake's back madly and savagely.

Stinking blood was spraying out of the snake's body. The snake was so badly wounded that it let go of Barney and moved back into the forest. It had never imagined that human beings had such terrible, sharp teeth. Halfway home, the snake died.

1.Why did Lisa fail in killing the snake at first?

A. Because she was afraid that what she did would hurt her son.

B. Because the hatchet was not sharp enough and the snake's skin was too hard.

C. Because the snake was even stronger than Lisa.

D. Because she was too astonished to do anything.

2.________, so she bit the snake.

A. Lisa was really driven mad

B. Lisa thought her teeth were much sharper than the hatchet

C. Lisa couldn't refuse the temptation of the snake's meat

D. Lisa had not got any other way to deal with the snake

3.From the story, we learned that it was a mother's love that made___________ .

A. Barney brave B. the snake frightened

C. Lisa mad and angry D. the woman fearless

4.What does “made up her mind” in the second paragraph probably mean?

A. was determined B. presented C. wandered D. was shocked
