An Unforgettable Illustration
One day, Mr. Brown, an expert (专家) in time management, was speaking to a group of students. To drive home a point, he used an illustration (示例) the students would never forget.
First, he pulled out a jar and set it on the table in front of him. He also produced about ten egg-sized rocks and carefully placed them, one at a time, into the jar. When the jar was filled to the top and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, “Is this jar full?
Everyone in the class yelled, “Yes.” The time management expert replied, “Really?” He then dumped some gravel (碎石) in and shook the jar, causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the spaces between the big rocks. He then asked the group once more, “Is this jar full?”
By this time the class was on to him. “Probably not,” one of them answered. “Good!” He replied. Then he started dumping some sand in the jar and it went into all the spaces left between the rocks and the gravel. He asked the same question, “Is this jar full?”
“No!” the class shouted. Once again he said, “Good.” Then he brought some water and began to pour (倒出) it in until the jar was filled to the top. Then he looked at the class and asked, “What is the point of this illustration?” One student raised his hand and said, “The point is, no matter how full your timetable is, if you try really hard you can always fit some more things in it!”
“No,” the speaker replied, “that’s not the point. The truth this illustration teaches us is if you don’t put the big rocks in first, you’ll never get them in at all. What are the big rocks in your life? Time with your loved ones, your study your dreams, teaching or helping others. Remember to put these important things in first or you’ll never get them in at all.”
24. Who is Mr. Brown?
A. A group leader of the students.
B. A university physics teacher.
C. A time management expert.
D A rock and gravel provider.
25. Which of the following is the right order for the illustration?

C. Dumping sand~dumping gravel~placing rocks~pouring water.
D. Dumping gravel~placing rocks~pouring water~dumping sand.
26. What is Mr. Brown’s point of the illustration?
A. Time management is necessary for success.
B. Making plans is a good way to realize dreams.
C. Setting up timetables first before doing things.
D. Learning to put the important things ahead in life.

Hasna Kourda grew up on an island in Tunisia where her grandmother taught her the strong values of looking after old things. Clothes were reused and repurposed continuously, Kourda says. A large bag made from old clothes by her grandmother is still used by her parents today. Kourda has brought these values into a project that she hopes could change the relationship people have with their clothes—and benefit the environment in the process.
The clothing industry—from material sourcing（来源）to washing and waste is considered to be responsible for 8-10% of global carbon emissions（碳排放）, according to the UN. As the world races to meet its promises to limit carbon emissions to net zero by the middle of the century, the clothing industry has a huge job ahead of it to play its part.
Kourda is among those who hope to help do that. Her way is to encourage people to go looking for new ways of using the clothing they already have rather than buying something new. Her company, Save Your Wardrobe, uses technology to help people go shopping in their own wardrobes. The company uses computer software to build a digital image of a user’s wardrobe people can either take pictures of clothes or allow.
Save Your Wardrobe to check their online shopping history. It then wardrobe advises how to create new clothes as well as connecting users to repair and alteration（更改）services, and environmentally friendly dry cleaning.
In October the company began to work with the German company Zalando, which will use Save Your Wardrobe technology to offer customers aftercare for their clothes.
“The job,” says Kourda, “is to use technology to guide users to reconnect with the clothes of their wardrobe and make the most out of it, finally encouraging them to buy less and better”.
Save Your Wardrobe is just one of a huge number of companies using new technology and different business models to try to overhaul（全面改革）the industry. From encouraging new ways of consuming clothes, to making it possible for clothes to be recycled at the end of their life, the clothing world could look very different by the time we reach 2045.
27. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A. Kourda hoped to save money for her project.
B. Kourda’s family has valued old things in life.
C. Kourda’s grandma reused clothes to help others.
D. Kourda’s parents are too poor to buy new clothes.
28. What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. How Kourda’s company helps to limit carbon emissions.
B. Why Kourda runs her company Save Your Wardrobe.
C. Why Kourda’s company works with other companies.
D. How Kourda teaches people to do online shopping.
29 What might the writer probably agree?
A. People will stick to old traditions of consuming clothing.
B. Customers might need less aftercare for their clothes soon.
C. Save Your Wardrobe will create more clothes in the future.
D. The clothing industry might be more environmentally friendly.
D
The Teenager Brain
Teenagers have always been known to do unusual, even dangerous things. This was thought to be because of the “foolishness of youth.” Now, scientists have studied the physical development of the brain in more detail. Their discoveries have led to a new theory（理论）of why teens act this way.
A Work in Progress
Recently scientists discovered that only during adolescence（青春期）do our brains truly “grow up”. During this time, they go through great changes. These “changes” were once thought to be finished by about age 12. Now, scientists have found that our brains continue to change until age 25. Such changes make us better at balancing impulses（平衡冲动）with following rules. But a still-developing brain can hardly do this well. The result, scientists claim, is the unpredictable behavior seen in teenagers.
________
The studies show that teens are more likely to take risks（冒险）and behave in extreme ways. Luckily, the news isn't all negative. As brain scientist B. J. Casey points out, the teen brain inspires such behavior in order to help teens prepare for adult life.
One way the brain does this is by changing the way teens look at risks and rewards. Researchers found that when teens think about rewards, their brains create more pleasure than an adult brain would. Researchers believe this makes the rewards seem more important than the risks, and makes teens feel the excitement of new experiences more keenly than adults do.
Research into the teen brain also found that it makes social connections seem especially rewarding. As such, teens have a strong need to meet new people. Scientists suggest this is because as teens, we begin to realize our friends may one day control the world we live in. Because it is still developing, a teen brain can change to deal with new situations. So, it connects social rewards with more pleasure. In this way, the brain encourages teens to have a wide circle of friends, which is believed to make us more successful in life.
A Finished Brain
Unluckily, this search for greater rewards can sometimes lead teens to make bad decisions. However, it also means that teens are more likely, and less afraid, to try new things or to be independent. The scientists’ findings suggest that in the long run, the impulses of the teen brain are what help teens leave their parents’ care and live their own lives successfully.
30. Which of the following about adolescent’s brain is true?
A. It stops growing almost at twelve.
B. It is going through a lot of changes.
C. It does many things in a perfect way.
D. It is better than an adult brain with rules.
31. Which could be the best heading for Paragraph 3, 4 & 5?
A. Pleasure Explorers. B. Brain Researchers.
C. Decision Makers. D. Future Planners.
32. What does the word “keenly” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Calmly. B. Slowly. C. Strongly. D. Strangely.
33. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The teenager brains are more likely to be dependent.
B. The impulses of the teen brain may benefit teens’ growth.
C. The effect of teens’ behavior in extreme ways is negative.
D. The hope to control the world leads teens to meet new people.

Bob Smith, a National Teacher Award Winner
What does it take to win the hearts and minds of Grade 10 students? Ask Jenny Fitchette, Grade 10 student at Lester Pearson High, and you will get a warm reply: “The number one thing is a good teacher.”
Jenny should know this well. Look at her timetable and you will find that she is studying the usual subjects of maths, English, biology and art this term. It’s not so much the subjects that keep her coining to school each day. It’s her biology teacher, Mr. Smith, who keeps her eager and ready to learn. So Jenny recently found time to finish a 1000-word paper in which she nominated （提名）her teacher, Mr. Bob Smith for the Teacher of the Year Award. Only students may nominate someone for the award.
“I can’t really say why Mr. Smith is such a good teacher.” says Jenny. “But we always enjoy the time when Mr. Smith stays with us. I mean, the little fish really help us in our biology studies. We can actually watch the fish growing and study them in the classroom. It’s hands-on, which makes his class special. Mr. Smith always tells us that we learn best when we get in there and work with things.”
Mr. Smith says he was very surprised and honoured when he heard that Jenny had nominated him for the award. “It’s really the students who should be getting the award,” he says. “It’s my job to bring meaningful and interesting things for them to study. It’s not I, but the students who are showing excellence.”
When asked what makes his students love school so much, Mr. Smith stops and thinks deeply. I think it comes down to respect. I respect my students and I see my job as serving them in a way. I work for them to help them open up their minds and discover things that matter to them.”
Jenny says that you never know what to expect from day to day in her biology class. One day, Mr. Smith might bring his electric guitar, and for the whole class, explain and show the effects of music on plant growth. He never allows anyone any time to be lazy.
34. What does Jenny think is the number one thing to win the hearts of students?
___________________________________________________________________
35. What subject does Mr. Smith teach?

An Unforgettable Illustration
One day, Mr. Brown, an expert (专家) in time management, was speaking to a group of students. To drive home a point, he used an illustration (示例) the students would never forget.
First, he pulled out a jar and set it on the table in front of him. He also produced about ten egg-sized rocks and carefully placed them, one at a time, into the jar. When the jar was filled to the top and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, “Is this jar full?
Everyone in the class yelled, “Yes.” The time management expert replied, “Really?” He then dumped some gravel (碎石) in and shook the jar, causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the spaces between the big rocks. He then asked the group once more, “Is this jar full?”
By this time the class was on to him. “Probably not,” one of them answered. “Good!” He replied. Then he started dumping some sand in the jar and it went into all the spaces left between the rocks and the gravel. He asked the same question, “Is this jar full?”
“No!” the class shouted. Once again he said, “Good.” Then he brought some water and began to pour (倒出) it in until the jar was filled to the top. Then he looked at the class and asked, “What is the point of this illustration?” One student raised his hand and said, “The point is, no matter how full your timetable is, if you try really hard you can always fit some more things in it!”
“No,” the speaker replied, “that’s not the point. The truth this illustration teaches us is if you don’t put the big rocks in first, you’ll never get them in at all. What are the big rocks in your life? Time with your loved ones, your study your dreams, teaching or helping others. Remember to put these important things in first or you’ll never get them in at all.”
24. Who is Mr. Brown?
A. A group leader of the students.
B. A university physics teacher.
C. A time management expert.
D. A rock and gravel provider.
25. Which of the following is the right order for the illustration?
A Pouring water~dumping gravel~dumping sand~placing rocks.
B. Placing rocks~dumping gravel~dumping sand~pouring water.
C. Dumping sand~dumping gravel~placing rocks~pouring water.
D. Dumping gravel~placing rocks~pouring water~dumping sand.
26. What is Mr. Brown’s point of the illustration?
A. Time management is necessary for success.
B. Making plans is a good way to realize dreams.
C. Setting up timetables first before doing things.
D. Learning to put the important things ahead in life.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D
【解析】
【分析】文章大意：本文通过一个故事，诠释了这样一个哲理：如果你奔忙于琐事，那么，这些无关紧要的小事就会填满你的生活，让你成天操心，你就永远没办法腾出真正的“黄金时光”来处理你的大事和要事（即“大石块”）。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据“One day, Mr. Brown, an expert in time management,”可知，布朗先生是时间管理方面的专家，故选C。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据“He also produced about ten egg-sized rocks and carefully placed them, one at a time, into the jar.”他还拿出大约10块鸡蛋大小的石块，小心翼翼地把它们一块一块地放进罐子里。“He then dumped some gravel (碎石) in and shook the jar,”然后他倒了一些砾石进去，并摇晃罐子。“Then he started dumping some sand in the jar.”然后他开始往罐子里倒沙子。以及“Then he brought some water and began to pour (倒出) it in until the jar was filled to the top.” 然后他拿了一些水，开始往瓶子里倒，直到罐子满到瓶口。由此可知，时间管理专家是先往罐子里放大石块，然后放进碎石，接着又放进去了沙子，最后是往罐子里倒水，因此B选项符合题意，故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Remember to put these important things in first or you’ll never get them in at all.”可知布朗先生是想告诉我们要学会把生活中重要的事情放在前面去做，因此D选项符合题意，故选D。
C
Hasna Kourda grew up on an island in Tunisia where her grandmother taught her the strong values of looking after old things. Clothes were reused and repurposed continuously, Kourda says. A large bag made from old clothes by her grandmother is still used by her parents today. Kourda has brought these values into a project that she hopes could change the relationship people have with their clothes—and benefit the environment in the process.
The clothing industry—from material sourcing（来源）to washing and waste is considered to be responsible for 8-10% of global carbon emissions（碳排放）, according to the UN. As the world races to meet its promises to limit carbon emissions to net zero by the middle of the century, the clothing industry has a huge job ahead of it to play its part.
Kourda is among those who hope to help do that. Her way is to encourage people to go looking for new ways of using the clothing they already have rather than buying something new. Her company, Save Your Wardrobe, uses technology to help people go shopping in their own wardrobes. The company uses computer software to build a digital image of a user’s wardrobe people can either take pictures of clothes or allow.
Save Your Wardrobe to check their online shopping history. It then wardrobe advises how to create new clothes as well as connecting users to repair and alteration（更改）services, and environmentally friendly dry cleaning.
In October the company began to work with the German company Zalando, which will use Save Your Wardrobe technology to offer customers aftercare for their clothes.
“The job,” says Kourda, “is to use technology to guide users to reconnect with the clothes of their wardrobe and make the most out of it, finally encouraging them to buy less and better”.
Save Your Wardrobe is just one of a huge number of companies using new technology and different business models to try to overhaul（全面改革）the industry. From encouraging new ways of consuming clothes, to making it possible for clothes to be recycled at the end of their life, the clothing world could look very different by the time we reach 2045.
27. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A. Kourda hoped to save money for her project.
B. Kourda’s family has valued old things in life.
C. Kourda’s grandma reused clothes to help others.
D. Kourda’s parents are too poor to buy new clothes.
28. What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. How Kourda’s company helps to limit carbon emissions.
B. Why Kourda runs her company Save Your Wardrobe.
C. Why Kourda’s company works with other companies.
D. How Kourda teaches people to do online shopping.
29. What might the writer probably agree?
A. People will stick to old traditions of consuming clothing.
B. Customers might need less aftercare for their clothes soon.
C. Save Your Wardrobe will create more clothes in the future.
D. The clothing industry might be more environmentally friendly.
【答案】27. B 28. A 29. D

The Teenager Brain
Teenagers have always been known to do unusual, even dangerous things. This was thought to be because of the “foolishness of youth.” Now, scientists have studied the physical development of the brain in more detail. Their discoveries have led to a new theory（理论）of why teens act this way.
A Work in Progress
Recently scientists discovered that only during adolescence（青春期）do our brains truly “grow up”. During this time, they go through great changes. These “changes” were once thought to be finished by about age 12. Now, scientists have found that our brains continue to change until age 25. Such changes make us better at balancing impulses（平衡冲动）with following rules. But a still-developing brain can hardly do this well. The result, scientists claim, is the unpredictable behavior seen in teenagers.
________
The studies show that teens are more likely to take risks（冒险）and behave in extreme ways. Luckily, the news isn't all negative. As brain scientist B. J. Casey points out, the teen brain inspires such behavior in order to help teens prepare for adult life.
One way the brain does this is by changing the way teens look at risks and rewards. Researchers found that when teens think about rewards, their brains create more pleasure than an adult brain would. Researchers believe this makes the rewards seem more important than the risks, and makes teens feel the excitement of new experiences more keenly than adults do.
Research into the teen brain also found that it makes social connections seem especially rewarding. As such, teens have a strong need to meet new people. Scientists suggest this is because as teens, we begin to realize our friends may one day control the world we live in. Because it is still developing, a teen brain can change to deal with new situations. So, it connects social rewards with more pleasure. In this way, the brain encourages teens to have a wide circle of friends, which is believed to make us more successful in life.
A Finished Brain
Unluckily, this search for greater rewards can sometimes lead teens to make bad decisions. However, it also means that teens are more likely, and less afraid, to try new things or to be independent. The scientists’ findings suggest that in the long run, the impulses of the teen brain are what help teens leave their parents’ care and live their own lives successfully.
30. Which of the following about adolescent’s brain is true?
A. It stops growing almost at twelve.
B. It is going through a lot of changes.
C. It does many things in a perfect way.
D. It is better than an adult brain with rules.
31. Which could be the best heading for Paragraph 3, 4 & 5?
A. Pleasure Explorers. B. Brain Researchers.
C. Decision Makers. D. Future Planners.
32. What does the word “keenly” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Calmly. B. Slowly. C. Strongly. D. Strangely.
33. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The teenager brains are more likely to be dependent.
B. The impulses of the teen brain may benefit teens’ growth.
C. The effect of teens’ behavior in extreme ways is negative.
D. The hope to control the world leads teens to meet new people.
【答案】30. B 31. A 32. C 33. B
【解析】
【分析】本文通过科学的角度研究了青少年的大脑发育，解释了他们经常做一些不寻常的、危险的事情的原因。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Recently scientists discovered that only during adolescence（青春期）do our brains truly “grow up”. During this time, they go through great changes.”可知，青少年的大脑正在经历许多变化，故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。第三段讲述青少年更有可能冒险和行为极端，第四五段是解释其背后的原因，所以A项“快乐的探险家”适合做小标题。故选A。
【32题详解】
词义推测题。根据“ Researchers believe this makes the rewards seem more important than the risks, and makes teens feel the excitement of new experiences more keenly than adults do.”可知，研究人员认为，这使得回报似乎比风险更重要，并使青少年比成年人更强烈地感受到新体验的刺激，划线单词表示“强烈地”，与strongly同义。故选C。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据“The scientists’ findings suggest that in the long run, the impulses of the teen brain are what help teens leave their parents’ care and live their own lives successfully.”可推断，青少年大脑的冲动可能有利于青少年的成长。故选B。

Bob Smith, a National Teacher Award Winner
What does it take to win the hearts and minds of Grade 10 students? Ask Jenny Fitchette, Grade 10 student at Lester Pearson High, and you will get a warm reply: “The number one thing is a good teacher.”
Jenny should know this well. Look at her timetable and you will find that she is studying the usual subjects of maths, English, biology and art this term. It’s not so much the subjects that keep her coining to school each day. It’s her biology teacher, Mr. Smith, who keeps her eager and ready to learn. So Jenny recently found time to finish a 1000-word paper in which she nominated （提名）her teacher, Mr. Bob Smith for the Teacher of the Year Award. Only students may nominate someone for the award.
“I can’t really say why Mr. Smith is such a good teacher.” says Jenny. “But we always enjoy the time when Mr. Smith stays with us. I mean, the little fish really help us in our biology studies. We can actually watch the fish growing and study them in the classroom. It’s hands-on, which makes his class special. Mr. Smith always tells us that we learn best when we get in there and work with things.”
Mr. Smith says he was very surprised and honoured when he heard that Jenny had nominated him for the award. “It’s really the students who should be getting the award,” he says. “It’s my job to bring meaningful and interesting things for them to study. It’s not I, but the students who are showing excellence.”
When asked what makes his students love school so much, Mr. Smith stops and thinks deeply. I think it comes down to respect. I respect my students and I see my job as serving them in a way. I work for them to help them open up their minds and discover things that matter to them.”
Jenny says that you never know what to expect from day to day in her biology class. One day, Mr. Smith might bring his electric guitar, and for the whole class, explain and show the effects of music on plant growth. He never allows anyone any time to be lazy.
34. What does Jenny think is the number one thing to win the hearts of students?
___________________________________________________________________
35. What subject does Mr. Smith teach?

An Unforgettable Illustration
One day, Mr. Brown, an expert (专家) in time management, was speaking to a group of students. To drive home a point, he used an illustration (示例) the students would never forget.
First, he pulled out a jar and set it on the table in front of him. He also produced about ten egg-sized rocks and carefully placed them, one at a time, into the jar. When the jar was filled to the top and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, “Is this jar full?
Everyone in the class yelled, “Yes.” The time management expert replied, “Really?” He then dumped some gravel (碎石) in and shook the jar, causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the spaces between the big rocks. He then asked the group once more, “Is this jar full?”
By this time the class was on to him. “Probably not,” one of them answered. “Good!” He replied. Then he started dumping some sand in the jar and it went into all the spaces left between the rocks and the gravel. He asked the same question, “Is this jar full?”
“No!” the class shouted. Once again he said, “Good.” Then he brought some water and began to pour (倒出) it in until the jar was filled to the top.

Hasna Kourda grew up on an island in Tunisia where her grandmother taught her the strong values of looking after old things. Clothes were reused and repurposed continuously, Kourda says. A large bag made from old clothes by her grandmother is still used by her parents today. Kourda has brought these values into a project that she hopes could change the relationship people have with their clothes—and benefit the environment in the process.
The clothing industry—from material sourcing（来源）to washing and waste is considered to be responsible for 8-10% of global carbon emissions（碳排放）, according to the UN. As the world races to meet its promises to limit carbon emissions to net zero by the middle of the century, the clothing industry has a huge job ahead of it to play its part.
Kourda is among those who hope to help do that. Her way is to encourage people to go looking for new ways of using the clothing they already have rather than buying something new. Her company, Save Your Wardrobe, uses technology to help people go shopping in their own wardrobes. The company uses computer software to build a digital image of a user’s wardrobe people can either take pictures of clothes or allow.
Save Your Wardrobe to check their online shopping history. It then wardrobe advises how to create new clothes as well as connecting users to repair and alteration（更改）services, and environmentally friendly dry cleaning.
In October the company began to work with the German company Zalando, which will use Save Your Wardrobe technology to offer customers aftercare for their clothes.
“The job,” says Kourda, “is to use technology to guide users to reconnect with the clothes of their wardrobe and make the most out of it, finally encouraging them to buy less and better”.
Save Your Wardrobe is just one of a huge number of companies using new technology and different business models to try to overhaul（全面改革）the industry. From encouraging new ways of consuming clothes, to making it possible for clothes to be recycled at the end of their life, the clothing world could look very different by the time we reach 2045.
27. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A. Kourda hoped to save money for her project.
B. Kourda’s family has valued old things in life.
C. Kourda’s grandma reused clothes to help others.
D. Kourda’s parents are too poor to buy new clothes.
28. What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. How Kourda’s company helps to limit carbon emissions.
B. Why Kourda runs her company Save Your Wardrobe.
C. Why Kourda’s company works with other companies.
D. How Kourda teaches people to do online shopping.
29 What might the writer probably agree?
A. People will stick to old traditions of consuming clothing.
B. Customers might need less aftercare for their clothes soon.
C. Save Your Wardrobe will create more clothes in the future.
D. The clothing industry might be more environmentally friendly.
D
The Teenager Brain
Teenagers have always been known to do unusual, even dangerous things. This was thought to be because of the “foolishness of youth.” Now, scientists have studied the physical development of the brain in more detail. Their discoveries have led to a new theory（理论）of why teens act this way.
A Work in Progress
Recently scientists discovered that only during adolescence（青春期）do our brains truly “grow up”. During this time, they go through great changes. These “changes” were once thought to be finished by about age 12. Now, scientists have found that our brains continue to change until age 25. Such changes make us better at balancing impulses（平衡冲动）with following rules. But a still-developing brain can hardly do this well. The result, scientists claim, is the unpredictable behavior seen in teenagers.
________
The studies show that teens are more likely to take risks（冒险）and behave in extreme ways. Luckily, the news isn't all negative. As brain scientist B. J. Casey points out, the teen brain inspires such behavior in order to help teens prepare for adult life.
One way the brain does this is by changing the way teens look at risks and rewards. Researchers found that when teens think about rewards, their brains create more pleasure than an adult brain would. Researchers believe this makes the rewards seem more important than the risks, and makes teens feel the excitement of new experiences more keenly than adults do.
Research into the teen brain also found that it makes social connections seem especially rewarding. As such, teens have a strong need to meet new people. Scientists suggest this is because as teens, we begin to realize our friends may one day control the world we live in. Because it is still developing, a teen brain can change to deal with new situations. So, it connects social rewards with more pleasure. In this way, the brain encourages teens to have a wide circle of friends, which is believed to make us more successful in life.
A Finished Brain
Unluckily, this search for greater rewards can sometimes lead teens to make bad decisions. However, it also means that teens are more likely, and less afraid, to try new things or to be independent. The scientists’ findings suggest that in the long run, the impulses of the teen brain are what help teens leave their parents’ care and live their own lives successfully.
30. Which of the following about adolescent’s brain is true?
A. It stops growing almost at twelve.
B. It is going through a lot of changes.
C. It does many things in a perfect way.
D. It is better than an adult brain with rules.
31. Which could be the best heading for Paragraph 3, 4 & 5?
A. Pleasure Explorers. B. Brain Researchers.
C. Decision Makers. D. Future Planners.
32. What does the word “keenly” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Calmly. B. Slowly. C. Strongly. D. Strangely.
33. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The teenager brains are more likely to be dependent.
B. The impulses of the teen brain may benefit teens’ growth.
C. The effect of teens’ behavior in extreme ways is negative.
D. The hope to control the world leads teens to meet new people.

Bob Smith, a National Teacher Award Winner
What does it take to win the hearts and minds of Grade 10 students? Ask Jenny Fitchette, Grade 10 student at Lester Pearson High, and you will get a warm reply: “The number one thing is a good teacher.”
Jenny should know this well. Look at her timetable and you will find that she is studying the usual subjects of maths, English, biology and art this term. It’s not so much the subjects that keep her coining to school each day. It’s her biology teacher, Mr. Smith, who keeps her eager and ready to learn. So Jenny recently found time to finish a 1000-word paper in which she nominated （提名）her teacher, Mr. Bob Smith for the Teacher of the Year Award. Only students may nominate someone for the award.
“I can’t really say why Mr. Smith is such a good teacher.” says Jenny. “But we always enjoy the time when Mr. Smith stays with us. I mean, the little fish really help us in our biology studies. We can actually watch the fish growing and study them in the classroom. It’s hands-on, which makes his class special. Mr. Smith always tells us that we learn best when we get in there and work with things.”
Mr. Smith says he was very surprised and honoured when he heard that Jenny had nominated him for the award. “It’s really the students who should be getting the award,” he says. “It’s my job to bring meaningful and interesting things for them to study. It’s not I, but the students who are showing excellence.”
When asked what makes his students love school so much, Mr. Smith stops and thinks deeply. I think it comes down to respect. I respect my students and I see my job as serving them in a way. I work for them to help them open up their minds and discover things that matter to them.”
Jenny says that you never know what to expect from day to day in her biology class. One day, Mr. Smith might bring his electric guitar, and for the whole class, explain and show the effects of music on plant growth. He never allows anyone any time to be lazy.

An Unforgettable Illustration
One day, Mr. Brown, an expert (专家) in time management, was speaking to a group of students. To drive home a point, he used an illustration (示例) the students would never forget.
First, he pulled out a jar and set it on the table in front of him. He also produced about ten egg-sized rocks and carefully placed them, one at a time, into the jar. When the jar was filled to the top and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, “Is this jar full?
Everyone in the class yelled, “Yes.” The time management expert replied, “Really?” He then dumped some gravel (碎石) in and shook the jar, causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the spaces between the big rocks. He then asked the group once more, “Is this jar full?”
By this time the class was on to him. “Probably not,” one of them answered. “Good!” He replied. Then he started dumping some sand in the jar and it went into all the spaces left between the rocks and the gravel. He asked the same question, “Is this jar full?”
“No!” the class shouted. Once again he said, “Good.” Then he brought some water and began to pour (倒出) it in until the jar was filled to the top. Then he looked at the class and asked, “What is the point of this illustration?” One student raised his hand and said, “The point is, no matter how full your timetable is, if you try really hard you can always fit some more things in it!”
“No,” the speaker replied, “that’s not the point. The truth this illustration teaches us is if you don’t put the big rocks in first, you’ll never get them in at all. What are the big rocks in your life? Time with your loved ones, your study your dreams, teaching or helping others. Remember to put these important things in first or you’ll never get them in at all.”
24. Who is Mr. Brown?
A. A group leader of the students.
B. A university physics teacher.
C. A time management expert.
D. A rock and gravel provider.
25. Which of the following is the right order for the illustration?
A Pouring water~dumping gravel~dumping sand~placing rocks.
B. Placing rocks~dumping gravel~dumping sand~pouring water.
C. Dumping sand~dumping gravel~placing rocks~pouring water.
D. Dumping gravel~placing rocks~pouring water~dumping sand.
26. What is Mr. Brown’s point of the illustration?
A. Time management is necessary for success.
B. Making plans is a good way to realize dreams.
C. Setting up timetables first before doing things.
D. Learning to put the important things ahead in life.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D
【解析】
【分析】文章大意：本文通过一个故事，诠释了这样一个哲理：如果你奔忙于琐事，那么，这些无关紧要的小事就会填满你的生活，让你成天操心，你就永远没办法腾出真正的“黄金时光”来处理你的大事和要事（即“大石块”）。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据“One day, Mr. Brown, an expert in time management,”可知，布朗先生是时间管理方面的专家，故选C。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据“He also produced about ten egg-sized rocks and carefully placed them, one at a time, into the jar.”他还拿出大约10块鸡蛋大小的石块，小心翼翼地把它们一块一块地放进罐子里。“He then dumped some gravel (碎石) in and shook the jar,”然后他倒了一些砾石进去，并摇晃罐子。“Then he started dumping some sand in the jar.”然后他开始往罐子里倒沙子。以及“Then he brought some water and began to pour (倒出) it in until the jar was filled to the top.” 然后他拿了一些水，开始往瓶子里倒，直到罐子满到瓶口。由此可知，时间管理专家是先往罐子里放大石块，然后放进碎石，接着又放进去了沙子，最后是往罐子里倒水，因此B选项符合题意，故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Remember to put these important things in first or you’ll never get them in at all.”可知布朗先生是想告诉我们要学会把生活中重要的事情放在前面去做，因此D选项符合题意，故选D。
C
Hasna Kourda grew up on an island in Tunisia where her grandmother taught her the strong values of looking after old things. Clothes were reused and repurposed continuously, Kourda says. A large bag made from old clothes by her grandmother is still used by her parents today. Kourda has brought these values into a project that she hopes could change the relationship people have with their clothes—and benefit the environment in the process.
The clothing industry—from material sourcing（来源）to washing and waste is considered to be responsible for 8-10% of global carbon emissions（碳排放）, according to the UN. As the world races to meet its promises to limit carbon emissions to net zero by the middle of the century, the clothing industry has a huge job ahead of it to play its part.
Kourda is among those who hope to help do that. Her way is to encourage people to go looking for new ways of using the clothing they already have rather than buying something new. Her company, Save Your Wardrobe, uses technology to help people go shopping in their own wardrobes. The company uses computer software to build a digital image of a user’s wardrobe people can either take pictures of clothes or allow.
Save Your Wardrobe to check their online shopping history. It then wardrobe advises how to create new clothes as well as connecting users to repair and alteration（更改）services, and environmentally friendly dry cleaning.
In October the company began to work with the German company Zalando, which will use Save Your Wardrobe technology to offer customers aftercare for their clothes.
“The job,” says Kourda, “is to use technology to guide users to reconnect with the clothes of their wardrobe and make the most out of it, finally encouraging them to buy less and better”.
Save Your Wardrobe is just one of a huge number of companies using new technology and different business models to try to overhaul（全面改革）the industry. From encouraging new ways of consuming clothes, to making it possible for clothes to be recycled at the end of their life, the clothing world could look very different by the time we reach 2045.

The Teenager Brain
Teenagers have always been known to do unusual, even dangerous things. This was thought to be because of the “foolishness of youth.” Now, scientists have studied the physical development of the brain in more detail. Their discoveries have led to a new theory（理论）of why teens act this way.
A Work in Progress
Recently scientists discovered that only during adolescence（青春期）do our brains truly “grow up”. During this time, they go through great changes. These “changes” were once thought to be finished by about age 12. Now, scientists have found that our brains continue to change until age 25. Such changes make us better at balancing impulses（平衡冲动）with following rules. But a still-developing brain can hardly do this well. The result, scientists claim, is the unpredictable behavior seen in teenagers.
________
The studies show that teens are more likely to take risks（冒险）and behave in extreme ways. Luckily, the news isn't all negative. As brain scientist B. J. Casey points out, the teen brain inspires such behavior in order to help teens prepare for adult life.
One way the brain does this is by changing the way teens look at risks and rewards. Researchers found that when teens think about rewards, their brains create more pleasure than an adult brain would. Researchers believe this makes the rewards seem more important than the risks, and makes teens feel the excitement of new experiences more keenly than adults do.
Research into the teen brain also found that it makes social connections seem especially rewarding. As such, teens have a strong need to meet new people. Scientists suggest this is because as teens, we begin to realize our friends may one day control the world we live in. Because it is still developing, a teen brain can change to deal with new situations. So, it connects social rewards with more pleasure. In this way, the brain encourages teens to have a wide circle of friends, which is believed to make us more successful in life.
A Finished Brain
Unluckily, this search for greater rewards can sometimes lead teens to make bad decisions. However, it also means that teens are more likely, and less afraid, to try new things or to be independent. The scientists’ findings suggest that in the long run, the impulses of the teen brain are what help teens leave their parents’ care and live their own lives successfully.
30. Which of the following about adolescent’s brain is true?
A. It stops growing almost at twelve.
B. It is going through a lot of changes.
C. It does many things in a perfect way.
D. It is better than an adult brain with rules.
31. Which could be the best heading for Paragraph 3, 4 & 5?
A. Pleasure Explorers. B. Brain Researchers.
C. Decision Makers. D. Future Planners.
32. What does the word “keenly” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Calmly. B. Slowly. C. Strongly. D. Strangely.
33. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The teenager brains are more likely to be dependent.
B. The impulses of the teen brain may benefit teens’ growth.
C. The effect of teens’ behavior in extreme ways is negative.
D. The hope to control the world leads teens to meet new people.

Bob Smith, a National Teacher Award Winner
What does it take to win the hearts and minds of Grade 10 students? Ask Jenny Fitchette, Grade 10 student at Lester Pearson High, and you will get a warm reply: “The number one thing is a good teacher.”
Jenny should know this well. Look at her timetable and you will find that she is studying the usual subjects of maths, English, biology and art this term. It’s not so much the subjects that keep her coining to school each day. It’s her biology teacher, Mr. Smith, who keeps her eager and ready to learn. So Jenny recently found time to finish a 1000-word paper in which she nominated （提名）her teacher, Mr. Bob Smith for the Teacher of the Year Award. Only students may nominate someone for the award.
“I can’t really say why Mr. Smith is such a good teacher.” says Jenny. “But we always enjoy the time when Mr. Smith stays with us. I mean, the little fish really help us in our biology studies. We can actually watch the fish growing and study them in the classroom. It’s hands-on, which makes his class special. Mr. Smith always tells us that we learn best when we get in there and work with things.”
Mr. Smith says he was very surprised and honoured when he heard that Jenny had nominated him for the award. “It’s really the students who should be getting the award,” he says. “It’s my job to bring meaningful and interesting things for them to study. It’s not I, but the students who are showing excellence.”
When asked what makes his students love school so much, Mr. Smith stops and thinks deeply. I think it comes down to respect. I respect my students and I see my job as serving them in a way. I work for them to help them open up their minds and discover things that matter to them.”
Jenny says that you never know what to expect from day to day in her biology class. One day, Mr. Smith might bring his electric guitar, and for the whole class, explain and show the effects of music on plant growth. He never allows anyone any time to be lazy.
