I know a woman who tries hard to be a good custodian．I pass her every day after school as she pushes her cart down my hallway．Of course, she is my building's cleaner．
One Tuesday morning I came into school and saw a 36 on my desk from my custodian．It seemed that some unbearable first year students had damaged the bathroom in a particularly disgusting way and she had been 37 to clean it．This took 38 than she had expected． She had left the typewritten note on my desk to 39 for not being able to clean my room as she was 40 to do．
At the beginning of the period, I shared that with my first period 41 ． When I mentioned that our custodian had apologized to us, their first 42 was to volunteer to seek out and beat up those first year students for making our custodian have to clean up their 43 . It turned out that just
about all of my students also knew our custodian by name----all of them responded with smiles and 44 for a long time about this time or that time when she'd 45 each of them in the hallway．That she felt she needed to apologize 46 a strong reaction from many of the kids．
As the class period was about to end, I asked them to 47 the floor like I do every period and thanked them for picking up any garbage 48 it wasn't theirs．My entire class disappeared; they each disappeared instantly 49 their desks to pick up those annoying tiny pieces of paper that 50 so easily from notebooks．One girl made a （an） 51 that I later used with my other classes:\" Her job might be to clean the room, but she shouldn't have to clean up 52 us．There's a difference．”
I believe that people know the difference between right and wrong．I believe that people appreciate it when others 53 take care of them．And I believe that people, even adolescents who are not quite yet mature, appreciate it when they see someone who takes 54 in her work． Sometimes we need a 55 of the things we take for granted ．．．things like a good custodian to take care of us． 36．A．paper 37．A．advised 38．A．shorter 39．A．apologize

第三部分 阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分,满分30分）
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 (A)
Being a victim of schoolyard violence can help pupils learn how to manage argument and develop their ability to get along with others, it was claimed.
Helene Guldberg, associate lecturer in child development at the Open University, said trying to stop the “supposedly terrible dangers of bullying” can do more harm than good. She insisted teachers should not break up “everyday playground argument”, saying children should be left to deal with it themselves.
In an on-line article, Dr. Guldberg said that bullying was “an experience that children need to develop”. But the comments were strongly criticized by anti-bullying campaigners.
According to official figures, almost half of the children claim they are bullied at school. One of the biggest studies of its kind by Ofsted showed 48 percent of young people had been orally or physically assaulted in the
last year. It comes despite a number of government measures designed to crack down on the threats.
Writing on a website, Dr. Guldberg said: “Teachers are increasingly taking the task of looking after children’s health and well-being rather than being allowed to get on with the task of educating them. Children are encouraged to assume their relationships with other children are damaging, and encouraged to look upon their classmates with suspicion.” She added: “If we treat children as if they cannot possibly cope with hurtful experiences, then we will likely to weaken their confidence and make them less likely to cope with difficult events in the future. In effect, we will prevent them from growing up.”
The comments echo(附和) remarks made by teachers in recent years who claim the education system has been too focused on developing children’s social skills at the expense of academic learning. But Sue Steel, national manager of the Anti-Bullying Alliance, said: “Children who are being bullied often find it difficult to tell anyone. Teachers can help by giving appropriate attention.”
56. The underlined word “assaulted” in Para. 4 is similar in meaning to “_________”. A.
criticized
B. C.
abused
helped D. commented 57. Which of the following is TURE according to Helene Guldberg?
A. Teachers should take the task of dealing with children’s argument. B. Children should cope with their argument without the interference of their teachers.
C. Children will gain their confidence if teachers manage their argument for
them.
D. Children can’t cope with difficult events after dealing with hurtful experiences themselves.
58. Anti-bullying campaigners think that __________.
A. teachers should help deal with children’s argument in a proper way B. the government should take measures to stop children from being bullied C. children will be prevented from growing up with too much school violence D. teachers should develop children’s academic learning rather than social skills
59. The passage mainly tells us that schoolyard violence is __________. A. difficult to get rid of B. common among young people
C. not necessarily bad for children children’s academic learning (B)

There are a couple of ways to forecast the destructive potential of a hurricane so that people in the way can take adequate precautions. Satellite images of cloud patterns can be analyzed to estimate peak wind speeds, but the estimates are often way off the mark. Specialized aircraft can fly into a storm to measure the winds directly, but the flights are costly. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology come up with a third way: listening to a storm underwater.
In a paper to be published in Geophysical Research Letters, Nicholas C. Makris and a former graduate student, Joshua D. Wilson, report a strong connection between the intensity (强度) of sound recorded by an undersea microphone in the mid-Atlantic and the wind power of a hurricane that passed over it. They say that such microphones, known as hydrophones, could be a safe and relatively inexpensive means of estimating hurricane force.
Dr. Makris and Dr. Wilson, who are now with Applied Physical Sciences
Corporation, worked out the theory of underwater acoustic (声音的) monitoring of storms in a 2020 paper. “To be very frank with you, it’s a mystery what makes storms noisy underwater.” Dr. Makris said. The most popular idea currently is that it has something to do with oscillating air bubbles (气泡振动).
The researchers then went looking for experimental data to back their theory, and found it from a hydrophone placed at a depth of 2,500 feet by the National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration. It happened that Hurricane Gert passed over the area in September 1999, and a hurricane-hunter plane directly measured the wind speed at the same time. The hydrophone data showed sound intensity rising when the storm’s outside wind “wall” passed over, and again when the inside wall, the most destructive part of the storm near the eye, passed over. “We got a beautiful connection,” Dr. Makris said, “between the hydrophone data and the actual wind speeds as measured by the aircraft.”
Dr. Makris is conducting additional experiments, working with the Mexican Navy off the west coast of Mexico. The eventual goal, he said, would be permanent hydrophones in known hurricane zones or temporary ones that could be easily laid by plane or ship in the path of a coming storm.
63. Compared with the traditional methods, the new way of measuring is_____. A. more expensive C. less dangerous
B. more direct D. less accurate
64. Which statement is WRONG according to the article? A. The scientists gained support from different fields.
B. Dr. Makris and Dr. Wilson have figured out what makes storms noisy underwater. C. The scientists have found the relationship between the changes of sound
intensity and the force of the hurricane.
D. There are several ways for people to forecast the force of the coming
hurricane.
65. Why is Dr. Makris now making other experiments with the help of the Mexican Navy off the west coast of Mexico?
A. To place permanent hydrophones in some zones. B. To collect more images of cloud patterns. C. To be secure in carrying out their experiments.
D. To get more information from the hurricane-hunter planes. 66. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A. Ways to Stop the Destructive Force of a Hurricane
B. Connection between the Intensity of Sound and the Wind Power of a Hurricane
C. Hydrophones, Safe but Expensive Means of Estimating Hurricane Force D. Measuring a Hurricane by Sound Underwater (D)
According to sociologists, there are several different ways in which a person may become recognized as the leader of a social group in the United States. In the family traditional cultural patterns confer (赠与) leadership on one or both of the parents. In other cases, such as friendship groups, one or more persons may gradually emerge as leaders, although there is no formal process of selection. In larger groups, leaders are usually chosen formally through election or recruitment.
Although leaders are often thought to be people with unusual personal ability, decades of research have failed to produce consistent evidence that there is any category of \"natural leaders.\" It seems that there is no set of personal qualities that all leaders have in common; rather, virtually any person may be recognized as a leader if the person has qualities that meet
the needs of that particular group.
Furthermore, although it is commonly supposed that social groups have a single leader, research suggests that there are typically two different leadership roles that are held by different individuals. Instrumental leadership is leadership that emphasizes the completion of tasks by a social group. Group members look to instrumental leaders to \"get things done.\" Expressive leadership, on the other hand, is leadership that emphasizes the collective well-beings of a social group's members. Expressive leaders are less concerned with the overall goals of the group than with providing emotional support to group members and attempting to minimize tension and conflict among them. Group members expect expressive leaders to maintain stable relationships within the group and provide support to individual members.
Instrumental leaders are likely to have a rather secondary relationship to other group members. They give orders and may discipline group members who prohibit attainment (达到) of the group's goals. Expressive leaders cultivate a more personal or primary relationship to others in the group. They offer sympathy when someone experiences difficulties or is subjected to discipline, are quick to lighten a serious moment with humor, and try to resolve issues that threaten to divide the group. As the difference in these two roles suggests, expressive leaders generally receive more personal affection from group members; instrumental leaders, if they are successful in promoting group goals, may enjoy a more distant respect.
67. Which of the following statements about leadership can be inferred from paragraph 2?
A. Few people succeed in sharing a leadership role with another person. B. A person who is an effective leader of a particular group may not be
an effective leader in another group.
C. A person can best learn how to be an effective leader by studying research on leadership.
D. Most people desire to be leaders but can produce little evidence of their qualifications.
68. The passage indicates that instrumental leaders generally focus on ______.
A. ensuring harmonious relationships
B. sharing responsibility with group members C. achieving a goal D. identifying new leaders
69. A \"secondary relationship\" between a leader and the members of a group could best be described as ______.
A. distant B. enthusiastic C. sympathetic D. personal 70. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. The problems faced by leaders.
B. How leadership differs in small and large groups. C. How social groups determine who will lead them. D. The role of leaders in social groups. 第Ⅱ卷( 非选择题 共35分 )

When it comes to the world of computers, green computing is becoming one
of the most popular trends. But, what is exactly is green computing?
The term “green computing” is one that is being used in many different markets and areas all over the world in today’s global technology. Yet, many computer users out there aren’t sure what it means. Green computing is actually pretty easy to explain and to do---it is basically learning to use computer resources more efficiently to help the environment as well as making energy savings. The main goal of a green computing program is to reduce the use of energy and materials that harm the environment. Green computing helps to promote the use of biodegradable products and recycle computer parts whenever possible.
Green computing started as early as 1992, when the EPA created Energy Star, which is a voluntary labeling program that promotes energy efficient computing equipment and technologies.
It was because of this program that many computer manufacturers launched sleep mode and millions of computer users around the world began to adopt this policy to help save energy when they were not using their computers. The term “green computing” began to be used around the same time as well, and began to become a goal that more companies strive to meet over the years. There are several government agencies that have continued to help strive for better standards for computers and companies to help promote green promoting. Energy Star was actually revised in October of 2020 to make the requirements stricter for computers，and also implemented a ranking system for products. Because of these new requirements, there are over 20 states that have now established a special recycling program for old computers and electronics to help with green computing.
Many of today’s IT systems are beginning to rely on both people and hardware to help push their computer systems toward a more green computing
system to help both the company and others. This is a hard balance to achieve, as it has to satisfy users, management, and regulatory compliance(顺从). Even the disposal of computer waste is all managed so that everyone in the circle is happy with the outcome. Many companies are learning the best ways that they call go greener when it comes to their computing and also help their business in the process. While many home computer users may not be quite as familiar with green computing as large firms, this term is starting to become more mainstream all around the world and the requirements for new, better computers to help both the companies and the end users of the equipment, as well as our environment, are becoming more and more urgent.
Green computing Learning to make (72)_________ use of computer (71)_________ resources so as to save energy and protect the environment. To reduce the use of energy and materials that do (73) Main goal _________ to the environment. ●In 1992 the EPA created Energy Star program, (75) _________ energy efficient computing equipment and technologies. ●Then many computer manufacturers launched sleep mode (74) _________ and many computer users (76) _________ the policy to save energy. ●In 2020 Energy Star made the computer requirements (77) _________ and implemented a ranking system for products. ●At (78) _________, over 20 states have established a special recycling program for old computers and electronics. ●Green computing requires the (79) _________ of users, management, and regulatory compliance.
