We outline how you can realize your teaching dream in California.
Have a Bachelor’s degree from a qualified institution.
This is the minimum academic requirements before landing a teaching job in California.
Complete a teacher certification program in California.
The Commission for Teacher Credentialing (CTC) sets the main teaching conditions that you must complete before landing a teaching job in California. This is normally a preparation program on your preferred subject as well as general qualification tests for educators. Your math, reading, and writing skills will be assessed via the California Basic Education Skills Test (CBEST). For multi - course teachers, you’ll need to pass the California Subject Examinations for Teachers (CSET) Multiple Subjects Exam. Moreover, all candidates should go through the U. S. constitution and pass an accompanying test.
Fulfill the student teaching requirements and necessary teaching hours.
A regular teaching program is approved by the CTC, and candidates must complete at least 600 hours’ worth of field experience. You will be guided by a licensed practitioner when taking part in co - teaching or teaching residency. Normally, there are different requirements depending on your program.
The background check.
This is mostly an administrative matter. Requirements must go through a Live Scan. The aim of this check is to figure out whether applicants have prior run - ins with the law.
Send in your application.
After going through the procedure, you can then apply to be a certified teacher in California. Normally, you’ll need to provide relevant performance reports of teacher certification programs and prove that you have the required skills to handle students. The application process is through the CTC online entrance.
Pay the fees.
Potential teachers should expect a $ 100 fee when applying and a further $ 2. 50 to facilitate the online process. Candidates from a different state submitting fingerprint cards normally part with $ 49.
21．What can we learn from the passage?
A．Candidates with a Bachelor’s degree can apply for a teaching job in California.
B．CBEST can estimate some basic skills of candidates.
C．Every applicant should finish about hundreds of hours’ teaching residency.

On average, wildfires destroy over 6 million acres of land each year in the US. Last year, the U.S. Forest Service spent over $1 billion fighting those fires, mostly out West. Blazes start easily where there’s plenty of dry fuel, such as dead grass, sticks and other dried plants. Knowing how much fuel is available can help fire management teams know where and when to be on high alert. And a teen has figured out a way to home in on such areas quickly.
Nadine Han, 13, is a seventh grader at Boston Latin School. When she built a robot three years ago with FIRST LEGO League, hers was designed to prevent wildfires. When the girl’s family visited Yellowstone National Park, later that year, what did they see? Evidence of wildfires. So Nadine followed up on that theme for her science fair project, and decided to find out how to predict wildfires.
The teen learned about a satellite called SMAP. Launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in 2015, it detects how wet or dry the soil is. It also can tell whether that moisture is frozen or liquid. SMAP’s data soil moisture can be combined with other data to determine the vegetation water content, meaning the amount of water present in the plants. SMAP’s data and the vegetation water content data are both freely available from the National Snow and Ice Data Center. For her project, the teen downloaded a year’s worth of data.
Having compared plant water content and fuel moisture data for 1,413 different locations, she found that an increase in plant water content measured by the satellite was linked with an increase in fuel moisture as measured on the ground. For her study, 87% of the sites showed such a link.
“This suggests it’s feasible to use satellite data to estimate fuel moisture on the ground,” Nadine concludes. The teen now hopes her technique will help land managers determine fire risks more quickly. Next, Nadine hopes to make a computer program that will estimate fire risk using satellite data.
24．What is implied about wildfires in the United States in Paragraph 1?
A．They are a natural phenomenon.
B．They happen less frequently year by year.
C．They’re mostly caused by human activities.
D．They cause damage to most of the land in the US.
25．What made Nadine Han decide to research into the prediction of wildfires?
A．Her interest in scientific research.
B．Her success in creating a robot.
C．Her involvement in a wildfire.
D．Her visit to a national park.
26．What does the underlined word “feasible” in the last paragraph mean?
A．Challenging. B．Practicable. C．Valuable. D．Necessary.
27．What can be learned about the teen’s research into wildfires?
A．She invested a lot of money in collecting data.
B．She has designed a computer program.
C．She got guidance from land managers.
D．She’s confident about her research results.
【答案】24．A    25．D    26．B    27．D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述的是一名美国的初中女生通过自己的研究发现可以利用卫星数据估算地面上的燃料湿度从而预防野火。
24．推理判断题。根据第一段“Blazes start easily where there’s plenty of dry fuel, such as dead grass, sticks and other dried plants.(在有大量干燥燃料的地方，比如枯草、树枝和其他干燥的植物，火灾很容易发生。)”可知，野火是一种自然现象。故选A。
25．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“When the girl’s family visited Yellowstone National Park, later that year, what did they see? Evidence of wildfires. So Nadine followed up on that theme for her science fair project, and decided to find out how to predict wildfires.(那年晚些时候，当女孩的家人参观黄石国家公园时，他们看到了什么？野火的证据。因此，Nadine在她的科学展览项目中继续研究这个主题，并决定找出如何预测野火。)”可知，她决定研究如何预测野火是源于一次去国家公园给她的灵感。故选D。
26．词义猜测题。根据文章倒数第二段“Having compared plant water content and fuel moisture data for 1,413 different locations, she found that an increase in plant water content measured by the satellite was linked with an increase in fuel moisture as measured on the ground. For her study, 87% of the sites showed such a link.(在比较了1413个不同地点的植物含水量和燃料水分数据后，她发现卫星测量的植物含水量的增加与地面测量的燃料水分的增加有关。在她的研究中，87%的网站显示了这种联系。)”可知，Nadine的研究是有数据支撑的。因此可以判断，“use satellite data to estimate fuel moisture on the ground(利用卫星数据估计地面上的燃料湿度)”是可行的。选项A“Challenging (具有挑战的)”；选项B“Practicable (可实行的)”；选项C“Valuable (昂贵的)”；选项D“Necessary (必要的)”。故选B。
27．推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Having compared plant water content and fuel moisture data for 1,413 different locations, she found that an increase in plant water content measured by the satellite was linked with an increase in fuel moisture as measured on the ground. For her study, 87% of the sites showed such a link.(在比较了1413个不同地点的植物含水量和燃料水分数据后，她发现卫星测量的植物含水量的增加与地面测量的燃料水分的增加有关。在她的研究中，87%的网站显示了这种联系。)”以及最后一段““This suggests it’s feasible to use satellite data to estimate fuel moisture on the ground,” Nadine concludes. The teen now hopes her technique will help land managers determine fire risks more quickly.( Nadine总结说：“这表明利用卫星数据估计地面上的燃料湿度是可行的。”这位少女现在希望她的技术能帮助土地管理者更快地确定火灾风险。)”可知，Nadine对于自己对野火的研究是相当自信的。故选D。

C
I enjoy throwing stuff away. I’d love to go full minimalism,but my wife and two teenage kids do not share my dream of a house with almost nothing in it. I have tried. When the kids were little, I taught them my two favorite games —“Do We Need It?” and “Put It in Its Place”— and made them play every few months. Their enthusiasm never matched mine.
If I’m going to be honest, my own tidying skills are not as great as I’d like. My “discarded” pile is never quite the trash mountain I want because I make up excuses for why things are useful. I consider this unhealthy. I want to be better at moving on.
So, this time I found help — the classics for people like me: The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up.by Marie Kondo. Kondo’s commitment to her craft is astonishing. Her philosophy is only to keep things you love. Can I go full Kondo? I will try. One central idea is to clean by category. You start by collecting all clothes and gathering them together for consideration. It makes you rethink how you organize. Next, hold each item and ask if it brings you joy. This way you’re choosing what to keep. And that’s how I find myself with all my clothes on my bedroom floor. My wife walks by and gives me a look that says I’m nuts. She’s probably not wrong.
Somewhere near the bottom of this chaos is my special jacket. I move through the pile: pants, shirts, suits and shoes. Then my last category: jackets. I haven’t worn the thing in about 30 years. Somehow, it has survived. Now that I’m striving to follow Kondo — surely, its time has come?
I hold it in my hand. There is a tear just below the collar that widens as I hold it. It’s literally falling apart. Will I ever wear it again? Not a chance. Does it feel good to wear? Does it bring me joy? Actually, yes. At this moment, my daughter walks in. She asks about the jacket. I tell her the story. She thinks I should keep it. It’s cool and unique and full of memories. She is arguing that nostalgia is the very reason.
I’m not entirely convinced by my daughter’s arguments. I believe in looking ahead, not backward. Nevertheless, sometimes it’s hard to let go. So I gently place the jacket on the “keep” pile.
28．What does the underlined word “discarded” probably mean in Paragraph 2?
A．Adjusted B．kept C．abandoned D．tidied
29．What drives the author to read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up?
A．To learn how to categorize. B．To improve his tidying skills.
C．To persuade his family members. D．To develop passion for minimalism.
30．What is the attitude of the author’s family members toward minimalism?
A．They are curious about it. B．They completely support it.
C．They are strongly against it. D．They are less passionate about it.
31．The author keeps the jacket probably because of _______.
A．the joy it brings him. B．his wife’s statements.
C．the belief in nostalgia. D．his daughter’s indifference.
【答案】28．C    29．B    30．D    31．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了喜欢完全的极简主义风格的作者为此所做出的努力。
28．词义猜测题。根据第二段“If I’m going to be honest, my own tidying skills are not as great as I’d like. My “discarded” pile is never quite the trash mountain I want because I make up excuses for why things are useful. I consider this unhealthy. I want to be better at moving on.(说实话，我自己的整理技能并没有我想要的那么好。我的“废弃”堆从来都不是我想要的垃圾山，因为我为了东西为什么有用找借口。我认为这样不健康。我想更好地继续前进。)”可知，划线词语的意思是“废弃的”。 A. Adjusted调整后的；B. kept保持的；C. abandoned废弃的；D. tidied整理的。故选C。
29．细节理解题。文章第二段“If I’m going to be honest, my own tidying skills are not as great as I’d like. My “discarded” pile is never quite the trash mountain I want because I make up excuses for why things are useful. I consider this unhealthy. I want to be better at moving on.(说实话，我自己的整理技能并没有我想要的那么好。我的“废弃”堆从来都不是我想要的垃圾山，因为我为东西为什么有用找借口。我认为这样不健康。我想更好地继续前进。)”以及第三段“So, this time I found help — the classics for people like me: The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up.by Marie Kondo. Kondo’s commitment to her craft is astonishing. (所以，这次我找到了帮助—为像我这样的人准备的经典书籍：近藤麻理惠的《改变生活的整理魔法》。)”可知，作者之所以读The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up这本书是为了提高他自己的整理技能，故选B。
30．推理判断题。文章第一段讲到“Their enthusiasm never matched mine. (他们的热情永远比不上我。)”可以推知，作者的家人对完全极简主义不太感兴趣。故选D。
31．推理判断题。文章倒数第二段讲到“She thinks I should keep it. It’s cool and unique and full of memories. She is arguing that nostalgia(怀念)is the very reason. (她认为我应该保留它。它很酷，很独特，充满了回忆。她认为怀旧正是原因。)”可知作者保留这件夹克可能是因为它给他带来的快乐。故选A。

D
Losing weight has become a major concern for so many people. People try different weight loss methods all the time, some of which will never work, while others provide just a temporary solution. It is important to note that there are some green ways to lose weight that are not only healthy and effective but also good for the environment. Let us look at some of these green ways to lose weight.
Growing your own vegetables is a good way to ensure that you are eating healthy foods. The process is even better if you can use organic manure. Planting your own vegetables is not only a good way to go green; it also provides you with plenty of physical exercise. Preparing a garden, including planting and taking care of the vegetables, is a great way to achieve a healthy weight.
If you usually eat meat on a daily basis, you should consider replacing that meat with more vegetables. If you have no idea what vegetarian diets are like, you can do some research on the Internet, and you can also get information from vegetarian magazines such as Vegetarian Times Magazine. By reducing your intake of meat, you will be able to reduce your intake of fats, and hence, it will be easier for you to get rid of some weight.
Reduce periods of driving and try walking or cycling instead. If you are used to driving your car to get to wherever you are going, it would be great for you if you substituted walking or cycling for driving. Cycling and walking are good workouts that will ensure that your body burns excess fat and calories, and therefore, you will be able to lose weight.
It is important to know that there are so many ways in which we can turn our bad habits into good ones. Most of these good habits will not only benefit our bodies; they will also make the world a better place for all of us. Let’s go green, and let’s lose weight!

第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
Music is one of the most interesting art forms on earth. We enjoy music because it makes us feel great.____36____We thought we’d take some time out to explore exactly how beneficial music is to your language development skills. Below is a list of all the ways that listening to music can improve your English skills.
Strengthen your vocabulary and listening skills.
When listening to a song, you’ll pick up new words that you haven’t heard before. Listening to a new song per week can help you learn 52 songs a year. Those songs are full of new vocabulary and phrases that are difficult to forget. For example, listening to a song like “Friday, I’m in Love”  is a great way to remember the days of the week!____37____Music can help your brain react more quickly to hearing English.
Perfect your pronunciation.
Once you have learned the lyrics, the words of a song, you can practice your pronunciation and explore different accents. ____38____Singing will help you to learn their correct pronunciation of the words and will also help you remember easily the new vocabulary you have learned.
Catch obvious grammar mistakes.
If you have a good eye for mistakes, you can find many grammar “exceptions” songwriters usually use. Sometimes singers need to adapt the lyrics to the rhythm of the song. Therefore, they may be creative enough to use grammatical mistakes on purpose. It’s not funny when you catch them.____39____
____40____Music can also increase your cultural understanding. Many songs talk about great stories and can teach you a lot about love, life, tradition, history, philosophy, literature, and more. You can find many great examples of a storytelling song on the Internet.
A．Discover more about English culture.
B．But rather it’s a good way to practice your English.
C．This exercise will also develop your listening skills.
D．Listening to songs can help you recover from illness.
E．Those accents depend on the areas the singers come from.

Dear Chris,
Glad to hear from you! I’m also thrilled to know Tai Chi has been included in the UNESCO List of ICH, which means this unique martial art gets global recognition.
Having been practiced for centuries, Tai Chi combines profound principles, martial art techniques, slow movements, deep breathing and meditation, representing the traditional Chinese philosophy—harmony. It is the cultivation of one’s internal energy, mind and the physical body that makes it so unique and challenging.
To generate relaxation, Tai Chi practice requires a deep level of concentration and a focused mind, thus allowing the mind to lead and guide the body’s energy. Tai Chi is not only a martial art, but is also widely acknowledged as an effective health exercise. Therefore, I strongly recommend you have a go since you are fascinated by it!
Looking forward to your reply!
Yours,
Li Hua

第二节 读后续写（共1小题，满分25分）
67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
At age 10, I stood in front of my new class, my new classmates looking at me with mild interest as my teacher introduced me. I joined in the middle of the school year. There were 41 students in my new class. I was the 42nd.
All my classmates sat in pairs except for this one girl, Kate. I went and sat down next to her and gave her a small, uncertain smile. She smiled in return. The class started and we didn’t talk until lunch time. At lunch time, I pulled out my lunch box, packed by my mother. It had fried rice with home-made cakes and a small box of fruits. Clearly my mom had spent time packing this yummy lunch. This girl took out a small box with bread butter inside. In India, it’s pretty rare for kids to just get bread butter for lunch. The only time I had bread butter for lunch was if my mom was unwell. So I thought that was what the problem here was. I offered her a small part of my lunch and forgot all about it. The next day, she again had bread butter. Well, I thought, her mother might have fallen ill, so she was taking time to recover. I again offered her a part of my lunch. This went on for a week. Then one day, I asked the one question that I shouldn’t have. “Is your mom not well?”
In fact, I wasn’t prepared for the answer. Later, I knew that her mother, who worked in a supermarket, was in poor health. She constantly stayed at home with no income. I didn’t know what to do. So I did the most obvious thing. I went home and told my mom that my lunch wasn’t enough and I still felt hungry after eating it. My mom started packing a bigger lunch. And in school, I’d tell Kate that my mom had packed me a lunch too big, so could she please help me finish it? Then I asked her what her favorite dish was. “Naan,” she whispered.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When I told my mom that I wanted very much to have Naan, she felt puzzled.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I moved out of that school soon after and didn’t stay in touch with Kate.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【参考范文】
When I told my mom that I wanted very much to have Naan, she felt puzzled. Naan was not a common dish in our household, and my mom wasn’t sure if she could prepare it, but she promised she would try. The next day, I was thrilled to find that my lunch box now contained a piece of Naan, and I eagerly shared it with Kate. Seeing her smiling face made me feel really happy inside. From that day on, my mom would occasionally pack some Indian delicacies for me to share with Kate, and I would be more than happy to do so.
I moved out of that school soon after and didn't stay in touch with Kate. However, this experience taught me an important lesson about kindness and understanding. Often we judge people too quickly, without realizing their underlying struggles. While it may seem small, sharing my lunch with Kate helped me to connect with her on a deeper level and to understand her better. As I grew older, I would try to apply this lesson in my daily life – to be a little kinder, a little more empathetic, and a little more understanding of people's struggles.
