Then, during the first period, teachers call in orders on their room phones, and students make deliveries. By closing time at 9:20 a.m., the shop usually sells 90 drinks. “Whoever made the chi tea, Ms. Schatzman says it was good,” Christy McKinley, a second year student, announced recently, after hanging up with the teacher.‎ The shop is called the Dixie PIT, which stands for Power in Transition. Although some of the students are not disabled, many are, and the PIT helps them prepare for life after high school. They learn not only how to run a coffee shop but also how to deal with their affairs. They keep a timecard and receive paychecks, which they keep in check registers.‎ Special-education teachers Kim Chevalier and Sue Casey introduced the Dixie PIT from a similar program at Kennesaw Mountain High School in Georgia. Not that it was easy. Chevalier’s first problem to overcome was product-related. Should schools be selling coffee? What about sugar content? Kenton County Food Service Director Ginger Gray helped. She made sure all the drinks, which use non-fat milk, fell within nutrition guidelines.‎ ‎21. The coffee shop is mostly run by _________.‎ ‎ A. all the students B. students with special learning needs ‎ C. all the teachers D. some special-education teachers ‎22. When does the coffee shop close?‎ ‎ A. In the early morning B. In the afternoon C. At 9 a.m D. At 9:20 a.m ‎ ‎23. The Dixie PIT program was introduced in order to _________.‎ ‎ A. develop students’ practical skills B. do some research on nutrition C. supply teachers with drinks D. raise money for school affairs B My teacher, Mr. August J. Bachmann, was the most influential teacher I ever had.‎ I had gotten into trouble in his class: Another student had pushed me for fun, and I became angry and began to hit him. Mr. Bachmann stopped the fight, but instead of sending me to the office, he sat me down and asked a simple question: " Penna, why are you wasting your life? Why aren't you going to college?"‎ I didn't know anything about colleges or scholarships. No one had ever considered that a fatherless boy from the poorest neighborhood had a future. That day, instead of rushing off for lunch, he stayed and explained possible education options to me. At the end of our talk, he sent me to see a secretary who had a child at a state college. This was in 1962 at Emerson High School in Union City, New Jersey.‎ Well, 53 years has passed, and what have I done with the knowledge he gave me? I gained a PhD from Fordham University when I was only 29. I taught English and social studies and then moved up the chain of command from teacher to principal.‎ I've sat on the board for Magnet Schools of America and represented that organization at the United Nations. I've won a number of great educational awards. But where would I be if a truly caring teacher had not taken the time out of his lunch period to speak to me? It was without question only his confidence in me that helped me forward.‎ I have repaid his kindness hundreds of times by encouraging misguided youngsters to aim higher. If I have saved any children, it is because of him. If I have been a successful educator, it is because I had a great role model in Mr. Bachmann.‎ ‎24. The writer ______ before Mr. Bachmann talked to him.‎ A. was an active boy B. was an aimless boy ‎ C. liked making troubles in class D. would get punished by his teachers ‎25. Which of the following best describes Mr. Bachmann?‎ ‎ A. Inspiring B. Confident C. Fair D. Humorous ‎26. How did Mr. Bachmann influence the writer?‎ A. He was strict with the writer. B. He tried to set a good example to the writer.‎ C. He set the writer on the right path. D. He helped the writer with his study.‎ ‎27. What does the writer think of his achievement?‎ A. He is very proud of himself. B. He feels his effort gets paid off at last.‎ C. He thinks it an honor to be a successful educator. D. He owes his achievement to Mr.‎ ‎ Bachmann.‎ C Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） is gaining global popularity． According to a government white paper，TCM has been introduced in 183 countries and regions around the world．‎ Westerners' understanding of TCM，however，may be limited to acupuncture，cupping and massage（针灸，拔罐和按摩）．For instance，the purple，injury﹣like marks left on U．S．swimmer Michael Phelps’back from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016．‎ As a matter of fact, Chinese herbs play a more important role in getting rid of diseases and keeping the body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment．It is therefore disheartening to know that while 103 World Health Organization member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture，not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine．TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs．‎ Herbs are made into pills， powder and soup， and the kind of herbs used， their quality and quantity， and the processing of the ingredients （原材料） jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription． Compared with Western medicine， which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods， TCM lacks standardization， with the chemical composition and functions of its medicines being unclear and their effects being unstable． Fortunately， standardization has improved in recent decades， with an increasing number of factories producing patented TCM drugs．‎ Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription drugs is the lack of creativity． While Western medicine﹣making companies come up with new products every year， TCM drug producers tend to make medicines according to prescriptions handed down from the past． Chinese chemist Tu Youyou's winning the 2015Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her research into malaria （疟疾） treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China's TCM industry． However， the current state of affairs cannot be changed within a short time．‎ ‎28．Why does the author mention the example of Michael Phelps？‎ A．Because he was injured in his swimming．‎ B．Because cupping is a kind of important TCM treatment．‎ C．Because westerners know a little about TCM．‎ D．Because westerners attach great importance to TCM．‎ ‎29．Why don't some member countries of WHO recognize Chinese herbal medicine？‎ A．Because Chinese herbs can get rid of diseases．‎ B．Because they only approve the practice of acupuncture．‎ C．Because Western medicine is more effective．‎ D．Because medicine made out of Chinese herbs develops slowly．‎ ‎30．Compared with Western medicine， what is the weak point of TCM in Paragraph 4？‎ A．The methods of planting herbs． B．The effectiveness of prescription．‎ C．Lacking in standardization． D．Its stable functions．‎ ‎31．The lack of creativity in TCM refers to the fact that　 　．‎ A．medicine﹣making companies lack creativity B．prescriptions are got from the past C．Western companies are more experienced D．medicine﹣making companies lack driving force D About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!‎ There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green — a strange world indeed.‎ Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color.‎ Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.‎ ‎32．The passage is mainly about _______.‎ A．color and its surprising effects B．women being luckier than men C．danger caused by color blindness D．color blindness ‎33．According to the passage, with the help of the “cones”, we can _______.‎ A．tell different shapes B．see in a weak light C．kill mosquitoes D．tell orange from yellow ‎34．Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?‎ A．Women are more careful.‎ B．There are fewer color-blind women C．Women are fonder of driving than men.‎ D．Women are weaker but quicker in thinking.‎ ‎35．Which of the statements about the color-blind is true?‎ A．All of them don’t have the same problem in recognizing color.‎ B．None of them can see deep red.‎ C．None of them can tell the difference between blue and green.‎ D．All of them see everything in shades of green.‎ 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，共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。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Tips to Increase Your Productivity Want to get more done in your day? Of course you do. 36 The good news is that everyone can increase the amount of tasks they accomplish in a day. Here are some tips to help you have a more productive day.‎ Make a plan for your day. Make sure you know how you want your day to go in advance, even before you start. 37 To work best, create the next day’s plan the night before so that every morning you spend time performing, not planning.‎ Break large tasks down into bits accomplished easily.

Even a lot of high school students spend their weekends or holidays playing phone games, casting bad effects on them. On the one hand, being buried in playing smartphones will cause damage to people's neck and eyes. On the other hand, it will distract them from study and even make them perform badly in the study. At last, it will cause people to be psychologically addicted to the smartphones.‎ Making a balance of our life is the key to solving the problem. First, we should spend more time with our family and friends. Second, we can do some meaningful activities to replace phone games, such as reading some books or having some outdoor exercises. Meanwhile, we should consciously avoid smartphones for entertainment. Don't let the smartphones ruin our life; don't be phubbers at weekends or holidays!‎ Sincerely yours, ‎ Li Hua
