25、important effect on anyone we meet. The right words at just the right time could totally change someones life. Thats what happened to me years ago. When I was a 3-year-old boy, my parents discovered I was totally deaf. After asking many doctors, educational specialists and parents of other deaf chil
26、dren, they decided to put me in a mainstream school. All of my classmates and teachers would have normal hearing. From the time I started going there in the third grade, I was the only deaf child at Blue Creek Elementary School in the small town of Latham, New York. From almost the first day there,
27、the other kids made fun of me and called me names mainly because of my hearing aid and the way I talked. I worried throughout Elementary school because, except the problems of “fitting in“ with the other students, I also struggled with most of my schoolwork. Although I seemed outgoing, my self-estee
28、m(自尊心)was quite low. I saw myself as an ugly kid wearing a weird-looking box around his neck who wasnt even smart enough to keep up with the other kids. Mrs. Jordan, my fifth-grade teacher, changed all of that with a simple three-word phrase. Mrs. Jordan was a large woman with a voice that bounced(反
29、弹)off the walls of her tiny classroom. One morning, she asked the class a question. I read her lips(嘴唇)and immediately raised my hand. For once I knew the answer. But, when she called on me, I was afraid. I took a deep breath, stood up slowly and answered Mrs. Jordans question in a low voice. I will
30、 never forget what happened next. Mrs. Jordan pointed directly at me. With shining eyes and a wide smile she cried: “Thats right, Stephen!“ For the first time in my life, I was an instant star. My confidence soared like never before. I decided right then and there that I would make a place for mysel
31、f in this world. No matter how many difficulties I might meet in life, I knew I could overcome them. A simple three-word phrase delivered with incredible enthusiasm had totally changed my young life. “Thats right, Stephen!“ 34. A mainstream school educates children who _. A. are blind, deaf, ugly or
32、 foolish B. have no physical disabilities D. have loud voices and wide smiles C. are talented and knowledgeable 35. Which of the following is the correct order according to the story? a. He made up his mind to change. b. He was sent to a school in a small town. c. He had a hard time in the first yea
33、r. d. Mrs. Jordan praised him with three words. A. b-c-d-a B. b-c-a-d C. c-d-a-b D. c-b-d-a 36. When Mrs. Jordan asked the boy to answer the question, he felt _.

34、ts with practice C. right words make a great difference D. chance favors only the prepared mind C Everybody knows that Earth spins from west to east. That is to say, it appears to be turning counterclockwise (逆时针)rapidly when viewed from above the North Pole. But what if Earth started spinning the o
35、ther way? Scientists from Germany have made a computer simulation in which Earth spins in the opposite directionclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole. This showed them some interesting things about the weather and geography on Earth, Live Science reported. As Earth spins in a counterclockw
36、ise direction, it shapes certain ocean currents(洋流). The direction of ocean currents, together with winds, produces different weathers around the globe. But a backward spin changes the ocean currents and winds. _Western areas of the lands on Earth cool down as the eastern parts warm up. Winters beco
37、me even colder in northwestern Europe, while eastern Russia becomes warmer than before. Rain no longer falls on the planets wettest places. Another result of a backward spin is that Earth becomes greener. Scientists found that global desert(沙漠)areas reduce from 42 million square kilometers to 31 mil
38、lion square kilometers. This may have something to do with the changing weather. Therefore, you can see rich green landscapes from Central Africa to the Middle East, which are mostly covered with deserts now. More surprisingly, the Sahara Desert becomes an oasis. However, deserts dont disappear. The
39、y just appear in some places in which they never appeared before. Deserts would cover North America, where countries like the United States and Canada lie. Sand dunes would replace the Amazon rainforest in South America. A backward spin would keep the main features of Earths geography, such as the s
40、ize, shapes and positions of lands and oceans. But it would change the interactions between circulating air, ocean and geography lead scientist Florian Ziemen told Live Science. 38. Which of the following sentences can be put in the blank of Paragraph 3? A. Anyway deserts cover the planet. B. Theref
41、ore, the weather is different. C. However the positions of oceans changes. D. Surprisingly the area of lands is larger. 39. The underlined word “oasis“ in Paragraph 4 means_. A. a place in a desert where there is sand and stones all over B. a rich land in a desert where the water table is near the s
42、urface C. a large body of salt water partially enclosed by land or an ocean D. a large smooth area which is over 500 metres above the sea level 40. What would a backward spin bring to Earth? A. The direction of ocean currents and winds would be different. B. Rain would no longer fall on western area
43、s of the lands on Earth. C. Deserts would become larger and cover the planets wettest places. D. The size, shapes and positions of lands and oceans would be changed. 41. The passage is most probably taken from a magazine on _. A. history B. travel C. entertainment D. geography D If you have ever pas
44、sed the cockpit(驾驶舱)in a flight and tried to understand your pilots conversation, you probably didnt gain much from them. From terms like “niner“ to “Zulu“, pilot-speak can sound like its own language. The special language is called “aviation English“. According to the International Civil Aviation O
45、rganization(ICAO), pilots on international airlines and air traffic controllers on airlines need to speak “aviation English“ when they communicate. Aviation English is necessary all over the world because it is unrealistic for a pilot to know all the different languages of the country to which he or
46、 she must fly. In addition. most of the phrases flight crew use were born out of a need for clear communication with a few words over an occasionally fuzzy(模糊不清的)radio transmission. Pilots must make effort to reduce their transmission time. Misunderstandings between pilots and air traffic controller
47、s can lead to disaster, so they must make sure not to misunderstand one another. To avoid making a mistake about understanding with similar sounding consonants, the ICAO has a standard phonetic alphabet: Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot Golf. Hotel, India, Juliet, Kilo, Lima,Mike,November
48、, Oscar, Papa, Quebec, Romeo, Sierra, Tango, Uniform, Victor, Whiskey, X-ray, Yankee, Zulu. These words stand for the letters from A to Z. The pronunciation of numbers should also follow exact standards. For example, zero(0)is always “zero“, not “oh“. 3 becomes “tree“. 4 is called“fower“,5 becomes “fife“, and 9 becomes “niner“. There are also more colorful phrases that pilots say were produce
