You will most probably find this passage ______.‎ ‎ A. on a webpage B. in a magazine ‎ C. in a text book D. in a guidebook B Every human being has a unique arrangement of the skin on his fingers and this arrangement is unchangeable. Scientists and experts have proved the uniqueness of finger-prints and discovered that no exactly similar pattern is passed on from parents to children, though nobody knows why this is the case.‎ The ridge (脊状) structure on a person's fingers does not change with growth and is not affected by surface injuries. Burns, cuts and other damage to the outer part of the skin will be replaced in time by new one which bears a reproduction of the original pattern. It is only when the inner skin is injured that the arrangement will ‎ be destroyed. Some criminals make use of this fact to remove their own finger-prints but this is a dangerous and rare step to take.‎ Finger-prints can be made very easily with printer's ink. They can be recorded easily. With special methods, identification (识别)can be achieved successfully within a short time. Because of the simplicity and low cost of this system, finger-prints have often been used as a method of solving criminal case. A suspected man may deny a charge but this may be in vain. His finger-prints can prove who he is even if his appearance has been changed by age or accident.‎ When a suspect leaves finger-prints behind at the scene of a crime, they are difficult to detect with the naked eye. Special techniques are used to “print” them. Some of the marks found are incomplete but identification is possible if a print of a quarter of an inch square can be obtained.‎ ‎24. Scientists and experts have proved that the pattern of a human being's finger skin____.‎ A. is similar to his mother's B. is valuable to himself only C. is like that of others with the same type of blood D. is different from that of all others ‎25. If your fingers are wounded by knife, fire or other means, the structure of skin will _____.‎ A. be changed partly B. be replaced by a different one C. be the same when the wound is recovered D. become ugly ‎26. Some criminals remove their own finger-prints by ______.‎ A. using printer's ink B. injuring the inner skin C. damaging the outer skin D. damaging the colour ‎27. Finger-prints have often been used as a method of solving criminal case because it ______.‎ A. is complicated but reliable B. is simple and not expensive C. is expensive but easy to do D. can bring a lot of money C All our dreams have something to do with our feelings, fears, longings, wishes, needs and memories. If a person is hungry , or tired or cold , his dreams may include a feeling of this kind．If the covers on your body, such as a quilt or a blanket have slipped off your bed, you may dream that you are sleeping on the ice and snow. The material for the dream you will have tonight is likely to come from the experience you have today.‎ So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has an effect on you while you are sleeping (feeling of cold, a noise, a discomfort, etc．) and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and the interests you have now．This is why children are likely to dream of fairies, older children of school examinations, hungry people of food, home-sick soldiers of their families and prisoners of freedom．‎ To show you how this is happening while you are asleep and how your needs and wishes can all be joined together in a dream , here is the story of the experiment．A man was asleep and the back of his hand was rubbed with a piece of absorbed cotton．He would dream he was in hospital and his charming girlfriend was visiting him , sitting on the bed and feeling gently his hands!‎ There are some scientists who have made a special study of why we dream, what we dream and what those dreams mean. Their explanations of dreams , though a bit reasonable, is not accepted by everyone but it offers an interesting approach to the problem．They believe that dreams are mostly expressions of wishes that do not come true．In other words, dreams are a way of having your wishes carried out． ‎ ‎28. From the passage we know that our dreams ___________.‎ A．are connected with our feelings ‎ B．are man’s curious look into the future ‎ C．have nothing to do with our feelings ‎ D．are imagination of our daily life ‎ ‎29. Older children often dream of examinations probably because ___________.‎ A．they are interested in exams ‎ B．they hope for a better life ‎ C．they are often worried about their studies ‎ D．they show much interest in their studies ‎ ‎30. According to the writer, the explanation of dreams that some scientists made ___________.‎ A．gives a good answer to the question why we dream ‎ B．is considered interesting , but unreasonable C．has some value , though not fully convincing ‎ D．has been proved by the findings of their studies ‎ ‎31. What is the best title for this passage?‎ A．Dream Makes Hopes B．New Findings about Dreams ‎ C．Why People Dream? D．What Dreams Mean?‎ D Many years ago my student asked me the question, “Mrs. Kindred, why do you teach?” Without taking time to reflect, I answered, “Because someday I do night and day something that might make a difference in someone’s life.” Even though I was sincere, that wasn’t a very good answer and my student didn’t let it slide.‎ ‎“Let me get this clear,” he said, “You went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone?” He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused. I’m one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty(风趣的).‎ Even though that particular student might no longer wonder why I teach, there ‎ are days when I wonder.

She instilled(灌输) in me a love of reading and the knowledge that education opens doors.‎ Teaching is a way to make a difference. If you throw a stone in a pond the small waves go on and on until they reach the shore. You can’t have waves without a “stone.” Good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference, and that’s what I try to do.‎ I genuinely（真正地） love teenagers.‎ I want to share with others what I know and what I have learned through the years. Life is full of ups and downs, and I can help students avoid some potholes(坑) on the road of life, I want to do so. If they’ll allow me to celebrate their victories（胜利） with them, I want to do too.‎ Teaching isn’t for everyone, but I know I made the right career choice.‎ ‎32. Why did the student continue to ask the question about the writer’s being a teacher?‎ A. Because he thought her answer was unbelievable. ‎ B. Because the writer was not honest.‎ C.

The writer’s mother has the greatest influence on her. ‎ B. The writer’s answer made the student confused.‎ C. In the writer’s opinion, some people in the world are unfit to teach.‎ D. The writer annoyed the student who asked the question.‎ ‎34.We can infer from the text that__________.‎ A. the writer was also a good teacher in school ‎ B. the writer often plays with her students beside a pond C .the writer devotes herself to teaching and her students D. the writer often accompanies the students on their way home ‎35.What’s the main idea of the text?‎ A. A student’s silly question B. A good teacher who likes students C.A confused student D. The reason why I teach 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎ The jobs of the future have not yet been invented.__1__ By helping them develop classic skills that will serve them well no matter what the future holds.‎ ‎1．Curiosity ‎ Your children need to be deeply curious.__2__ Ask kids，“What ingredients (配料) can we add to make these pancakes even better next time？” and then try them out.

Experimenting with materials to create something new can go a long way in helping them develop their creativity.‎ ‎3．Interpersonal Skills ‎ Understanding how others feel can be a challenge for kids.
