Three very strong women — my mother, my grandmother and Melinda — deserve big credit for helping me become the man I am today. But Blanche Caffiere, a very kind teacher and librarian I’ve never written about before, also had a huge influence on me.
Mrs. Caffiere died in 2006, shortly after reaching her 100th birthday. Before she passed away, I had an opportunity to visit her and thank her for the important role she played in my life.
When I first met Mrs. Caffiere, she was the elegant and engaging school librarian at Seattle’s View Ridge Elementary, and I was a fourth grader. I was desperately trying to go unnoticed, because I had some big weaknesses, like dysgraphia (书写障碍), and had a totally messy desk with books around. And I was trying to hide the fact that I liked to read — something that was cool for girls but not for boys.
Mrs. Caffiere took me under her wings and helped make it okay for me to be a messy, nerdy boy who was reading lots of books. She pulled me out of my shell. She started by asking questions like, “What do you like to read?” and “What are you interested in?” Then she found me a lot of books. For example, she gave me great biographies she had read. Once I’d read them, she would make the time to discuss them with me. “Did you like the book? Why? What did you learn?” She listened to what I had to say patiently. Through those book conversations in the library and in the classroom we became good friends.
Teachers generally don’t want to burden their students with extra reading beyond the homework they’ve given. But I learned from Mrs. Caffiere that my teachers had so much knowledge to share. Looking back on it, there’s no question that my time with Mrs. Caffiere helped spark my interest in libraries and my focus on helping every child in America get the benefit of great teachers. I should give great thanks to the devoted teacher and librarian who helped me find my strengths when I was nine years old. It’s remarkable how much power one good person can have in shaping the life of a child.
24. Which of the following best describes the writer when he was in his fourth grade?
A. Elegant and engaging B. Shy and untidy
C. Weak and desperate D. Curious and friendly
25. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. She forced the writer to read more books.
B. She helped the writer to overcome his weaknesses.
C. She turned the writer into a book lover.
D. She encouraged the writer not to hide his love of reading.
26. What do we know about Mrs. Caffiere?
A. She had the greatest influence on the writer.
B. She influenced the writer’s decision on helping American children.
C. She used to give the writer too much homework to help him learn.
D. She hadn’t seen the writer since he left the school.
27. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Teacher Who Changed My Life.
B. The Story of a Kind Teacher.
C. My School Life with Great Teachers.
D. Every Student Deserves to Be Encouraged.
C
The sporty all-electric car from the Netherlands resembles a BMW coupe, but is unique: It captures more carbon than it emits.
“Our end goal is to create a more sustainable future,” said Jens Lahaije, finance manager for TU/ecomotive, the Eindhoven University of Technology student team that created the car.
Called ZEM, for zero emission mobility, the two-seater houses a Cleantron lithium-ion (锂离子) battery pack, and most of its parts are 3D-printed from recycled plastics, Lahaije said. The target is to minimize carbon dioxide emitted during the car’s full lifespan, from manufacturing to recycling, he added.
Battery electric vehicles emit virtually no CO2 during operation compared with fuel vehicles, but battery cell production can create so much pollution that it can take EVs (Electric Vehicles) tens of thousands of miles to achieve “carbon parity (相等)” with comparable fossil-fueled models.
“Direct air capture is a fairly new method of cleaning the air by capturing CO2 into a filter (过滤器). We have made use of this innovative technology and implemented this in our car. The idea is very simple: while we’re driving, air will move through our self-designed filters and the CO2 will be captured and stored.”
ZEM uses two filters that can capture up to 2 kilograms of CO2 over 20,000 miles of driving, the Eindhoven team estimated. They imagine a future when filters can be emptied at charging stations.
The students are showing their vehicle on a US promotional tour to universities and companies from the East Coast to Silicon Valley.
28. What does the article tell us about ZEM?
A. The four-seater is equipped with a lithium-ion battery pack.
B. All of its parts are modern plastics.
C. The process of manufacturing the car creates little pollution.
D. The CO2 can be caught and stored while we’re driving.
- What does the underlined word “emit” mean in paragraph 4?
A. take in B. give off C. put aside D. clear off
- What is the main idea of paragraph 5?
A. What challenges the students met.
B. How the students got this idea.
C. How this innovative technology works.
D. How this technology can be improved.
- What’s the best title for this passage?
A. A Newly-invented Sporty Car Has Gained Great Popularity.
B. All-electric Car or Fuel-engine Car?
C. Dutch Students Devise Carbon-eating Electric Vehicle.
D. The Advantages of the Sporty All-electric Car.
D
Architects have long had the feeling that the places we live in can affect our thoughts, feelings and behaviors. But now scientists are giving this feeling an empirical (实证的) basis. They are discovering how to design space that promotes creativity, keeps people focused and leads to relaxation.
Researchers show that aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity. In 2007, Joan Meyers-Levy at the University of Minnesota, reported that the height of a room’s ceiling affects how people think. Her research indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely, which may lead them to make more abstract connections. Lower ceilings, on the other hand, may inspire a more detailed outlook.
In addition to ceiling height, the view afforded by a building may influence a person’s ability to concentrate. Nancy Wells and her colleagues at Cornell University found in their study that kids who experienced the greatest increase in greenness as a result of a family move made the most gains in a standard test of attention. According to another study at the University of Georgia, using nature to improve the focus of attention seems to pay off academically. They found that students in classroom with unblocked views of at least 50 feet outside the window had higher scores in tests of vocabulary, language arts and maths than those students whose classrooms primarily overlooked roads and parking lots.
A recent study on room lighting design suggests that dim (暗淡的) light helps people to loosen up. If that is true generally, keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could increase relaxation. Researchers of Harvard Medical School also discovered that furniture with rounded edges could help visitors relax.
So far scientists have focused mainly on public buildings. “We have a very limited number of studies, so we’re almost looking at the problem through a straw,” architect David Allison says, “How do you take answers to very specific questions and make broad, generalized use of them? That’s what we’re all struggling with.”
- What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A. Lower ceilings may promote creativity.
B. Lower ceilings make people think more freely.
C. Higher ceilings inspire creative thinking.
D. Higher ceilings encourage people to focus on details.
- Where are students more likely to get higher grades?
A. In the classroom with dim light.
B. In the classroom with round-edged furniture.
C. In the classroom close to roads or parking lots.
D. In the classroom surrounded by open greenness.
- What can we infer from architect David Allison’s words?
A. More researches need to be done to work out generalized patterns.
B. Scientists have a very limited number of studies.
C. The problem is too difficult for researchers to solve.
D. The research has given exact answers to the problem.
- What’s the text mainly about?
A. The importance of house design.
B. Scientific researches on space design.
C. The effects of ceiling design.
D. A new trend of space design.

The thought of a natural disaster can be frightening, but preparing for the most likely disasters, such as tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, fires, and winter storms, is necessary. 36 You can develop an emergency plan for your family in case of a natural disaster, including household information, out-of-town contacts and school, workplace, and childcare contact information and emergency first aid.
