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.D．An administrative background check is unnecessary if candidates have prior run - ins with the law.22．How is the application submitted?A．By making a call to the CTC． B．By providing relevant performance reports.C．By accessing the site. D．By visiting a certified teacher.23．How much should a candidate from outside California pay in total?A．$ 49. B．$ 53. 5. C．$ 102. 5. D．$ 151. 5. BOn 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. CI 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．tidied29．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. DLosing 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.

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.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
