It was a magical idea to have it in my class. Every day after breaks, the class would gather around and listen to the story I was reading. When the kids were close, they found the courage to share their stories, dreams and fears. The chair was part of my job, part of me.Unfortunately I became unwell and couldn’t keep teaching. I experienced severe depression and anxiety and was forced to leave the job. With my life as a teacher over, I needed a new path. And I didn’t have to look far.My husband and I adopted one of my former students in 2017. The arduous work of parenting a child who came to us at 9 years old changed our lives in unexpected ways. It called on the part of me that learns to be a good mother. We spent countless hours snuggling up (依偎) with books-healing, bonding and solidifying our family. This gave me a new purpose.I joined a support group of local moms. For about a year, I met with them weekly for walks or coffee.We came together to share. Then I started giving and receiving help. I gave driving practice to a single mom with her learner’s license and received emotional support in return. I also took her son on hikes around the city. Another woman encouraged me to buy a stand-up board and gave me lessons on surfing.My family, my books, finding a new purpose and belonging in a community — these are fulfilling the sense of self I used to prize as a teacher. I learned my identity doesn’t need to change. I’m still honoring those core values whether or not I’m working as a teacher.And what about that rocking chair? I looked back at the text message. My answer was no, I do not need the chair. I’ll let it go to a new teacher.41、What made the rocking chair special to the author?A. It had a magical effect on stories. B. It was a symbol of comfort.C. It was given by her former colleague. D. It represented her teacher identity.42、According to the passage, the author adopted a former student to ________.A. realize her dream of being a parent. B. become a good teacher again.C. explore new possibilities in life. D. repay the student for his rocking chair.43、What does the underlined word “arduous” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Simple and dull.  B. Challenging and tiring.C. Concrete and supportive. D. Lovely and pleasant.44、What did the author do in the support group?A. She gave lessons to children. B. She provided aid for people with depression.C. She gained knowledge in driving and sports. D. She offered and received support.45、How does the author feel now?A. More confident than before. B. Equally content as before.C. Thrilled about her new life. D. Anxious to return to teaching.Imagine a tasty bug landing on the web of a hungry spider. How does the spider detect its prey? Spiders don’t have ears like we do, and many have poor eyesight. But they can sense vibrations, like those that happen when an unlucky insect touches their webs. And instead of eardrums, spiders hear using tiny, sensitive hairs that move in response to sounds.Scientists recently learned that spiders can pick up sounds in another way: through their webs. “It’s basically using the web as the ear,” said Ron Miles, a professor of mechanical engineering at Binghamton University in New York.Miles and his team studied orb-weaving spiders, which make wheel-shaped webs. The scientists placed the spiders in a specially designed quiet room. Then they played sounds on a loudspeaker. They tracked how the spiders reacted to different sounds played on a loudspeaker.The spiders turned their bodies toward the sound. Some crouched (蹲伏) and stretched. Others raised their front legs. The scientists said this suggested that the spiders knew where the sounds came from.Miles said that spiders use their web like a giant extended ear. If an insect is flying nearby, for instance, “that’s going to cause the web to vibrate because of the sound,” Miles said. “That kind of gets the spider’s attention.”Spiders might even use their webs to tune in to a variety of sounds. Miles said they suspect that the spider is able to adjust the web’s tension, or how tightly they stretch the web. This way, it can pick up certain types of sounds.Miles hopes the research on spiders will help us find better ways to detect sound. Most microphones today work by sensing pressure and turning it into an electronic signal. But in the natural world, “spiders aren’t sensing pressure”.Miles said: “Most animals don’t hear that way; they sense the motion of the air.” Future microphones, like those used in hearing aids, could someday have a design like this in mind.The next time you see a spider, Miles suggested, watch how it reacts to sounds, like your footsteps — though what those noises mean to the spider remains somewhat of a mystery. “Spiders don’t have good facial expressions,” Miles laughed. “It’s hard to read them.”46、Spiders know an insect lands on their web by ________.A. seeing it trying to escape the web B. sensing the motion it makesC. using its ears to hear it moving D. growing tiny hairs to find it47、Scientists play sounds on loudspeakers in the experiment to ________.A. observe how the spiders would react B. assist the spiders in catching their preyC. encourage the spiders to build new websD. protect people from spiders48、Why do spiders need to use their webs like a giant ear?A. It keeps them safe from dangerous animals.B. It shows them when they need a new web.C. It helps them detect insects flying nearby.D. It lets them communicate with other spiders.49、Spiders adjust the tension in their webs to ________.A. block out sounds that scare away insectsB. help them pick up certain types of soundsC. allow them to make sounds that attract preyD. make sounds that get other spiders’ attention50、What does Miles believe is the significance of studying spiders?A. It could lead to hearing aids that sense pressure.B. It shows that even small animals can make noise.C. It could allow people to sense the force created by sounds.D. It could result in microphones that sense the motion of air.“If you were bored, it wasn’t because there was nothing to do. It was because you hadn’t put enough effort into.” That was my Mum’s philosophy. Boredom has become trendy.Some new studies show how boredom is good for creativity and innovation, as well as mental health. It is found that people were more creative following the completion of a boring and dull task. When people are bored, they have an increase in “associative thought”—the process of making new connections between ideas, which is linked to innovative thinking. These studies are impressive, but in reality, the benefits of boredom may be related to having time to clear your mind, be quiet or daydream.In our world, it seems unrealistic that boredom could occur at all. Yet, there are valid reasons boredom may feel so painful. As it turns out, boredom might signal the fact that you have a need that isn’t being met. Our always-on world of social media may result in more connections, but they are superficial (表面的) and can get in the way of building a real sense of belonging. Feeling bored may signal the desire for a greater sense of community and the feeling that you fit in with others around you. So take the step of joining an organization to build face-to-face relationships. You’ll find depth that you won’t get from your screen no matter how many likes you get on your post.Bored people often report that they feel a limited sense of meaning. If you want to reduce boredom and increase your sense of meaning, seek work where you can make a unique contribution, or find a cause you can support with your time and talent. If your definition of boredom is being quiet, mindful, and reflective, keep it up. But if you’re struggling with real boredom and the emptiness it provokes, consider whether you might seek new connections and more significant challenges. These are the things that will genuinely ease boredom and make you more effective in the process.51、What was the opinion of the author’s mom towards boredom?A. She thought it a philosophical question.B. She considered her life was boring.C. She believed it indicates having too much energy.D. She thought less effort led to boredom.52、What have studies found about boredom?A. It boosts innovative thinking. B. It is a result of doing boring tasks.C. It helps people connect with others. D. It does harm to one’s mental health.53、What do we learn about social media from the passage?A. It may be a barrier to expanding one’s connections.B. It may get in the way of enhancing one’s social status.C. It may prevent people from developing a genuine sense of community.D. It may make people feel that they ought to fit in with the outside world.54、What does the author suggest people do to get rid of boredom?A. Count the likes they get on their posts.B. Reflect on how they relate to others.C. Engage in real-life interactions.D. Participate in online discussions.55、What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. The importance of doing something original.B. Strategies on dealing with boredom.C. Ways to increase the meaning of life.D. The distinction between two types of boredom.阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。Yesterday my parents were heading off on a little holiday and I took them to the train station, the rain was pouring down.I got their luggage out, helped them get to the elevator and sent them on their way. As I was walking back to the parking lot, I saw an elderly man walking slowly toward the bus station. Obviously, he had no umbrella. I walked over and asked him where he was going. It turned out that he was heading to the same town as I was, just a 15-minute drive. I offered him a lift which he gratefully accepted.We had a lovely chat on the way and I learned some of his history. He was 87 and heading to the nursing home he had just put his beloved wife in last week. He had his driving license taken away last year so he had to take public transport every day. A tear fell down his cheek as he told me about his wife. I tried to hold back my own tears but failed.As I dropped him off at the entrance of the nursing home, I gave him the bunch of flowers I had in the car which I had given to my mom on Mother’s Day. I would much rather see the flowers indulged in by him and his wife than just take them back home. Tears rolled down his cheeks and he thanked me gratefully. As I made my way back to my car, I totally lost control of my emotions and cried like a baby. I just felt that all the stars shone for some reason and I was meant to meet him today. I was very glad to be able to help him in some way.56、What was the purpose of the author’s visit to the train station? (no more than 10 words)________________57、What was the elderly man going to do?
