Teachers are often considered to be engineers of the human soul. They are expected to spread
knowledge, ideas and 1 . There is one person in China who is called the “teacher of teachers”.
He is Tao Xingzhi. He is a wise man and devoted his whole life to education.
Born in Anhui province, China, in 1891, Tao studied abroad 2 educational methods.
3 Tao returned to China in 1917 and began his own career as 4 educator, he did not blindly
follow western education methods or theories. In fact, he changed the saying of “Education is life
itself” to “Life is education”. For Tao, education is an active experience in real life instead of 5
and being told. He encouraged students to think independently and apply 6 they learned to
their daily lives.
Besides developing education methods, Tao 7 tried his best to improve mass (大众)
education. After doing surveys in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai in 1921, Tao 8 surprised to
learn that in China more than 70% of the people in the city didn’t know how to read or write. 9
the problem, Tao organized young workers and farmers to study while working. Later, most of 10
became teachers at schools in the countryside. In January 1934, he started the “Little Teacher”
movement in which young students were encouraged to serve as teachers to 11 . They even
taught those who were 12 than themselves. Under Tao’s guidance, over 18,000 “little
teachers” 13 in Shanghai within 10 months. He set up a middle school in Chongqing and
14 free education to poor children.
Maybe Tao’s motto is the best explanation for his life. “Giving a whole heart, yet taking nothing
in return, not 15 a leaf of grass.” For Tao Xingzhi, education was not just about learning
about knowledge but about changing lives. His teachings and actions make him not just a teacher but
also a wise man whose achievements will forever be remembered and celebrated.

One day, our teacher, Mr. Sims, announced that the seventh grade field trip would be to a theme
park. The classroom was filled with excitement as the girls discussed what they would wear and
what they should bring with them. I sat back and listened, knowing that my parents did not have the
money to send me. It made me 16 to feel so left out. But not Danny. He simply told everyone that
he wouldn’t be going. When Mr. Sims asked him 17 , Danny stood up and said, “It’s too much
money for me. My dad hurt his back and has been out of 18 for a while. I’m not asking my
parents for money.”
Sitting back down in his seat, Danny held his head up 19 , even though whispering had
already begun. I could only sit quietly in my seat, knowing those 20 could be about me when they
found out I would not be going either.
“Dan, I’m very proud of you for 21 the situation that your parents are in,” Mr. Sims
replied.
Seeing the students whispering in the back, Mr. Sims spoke again, only 22 .
“This year, we’re going to do things differently. The trip is not until the end of the month, so
there’s plenty of time for money 23 . Each student must bring in at least one idea for that. If a
student doesn’t want to help, then he or she will be staying here that day. Any 24 ?”
Of course, Shelly, the most popular girl in the class, spoke up.
“Well, Mr. Sims, my parents can 25 it. Do I still have to help?”

One day in autumn Squire Gordon, my master, went on a trip into town. John, my caretaker, went
with him. I pulled the cart. The weather was rainy and windy, but we travelled happily.
Gordon’s business took a long time. We didn’t leave until late afternoon. The wind was then
much higher. My master said to John, “I have never been out in such a storm!” Mr Gordon and John
could not see well in the rain.
We came to a wooden bridge. It was very nearly dark. We could just see that the water was over
the middle of the bridge. But as that happened sometimes when the floods were out, master did not
stop. The moment my feet touched the first part of the bridge, I felt sure there was something wrong.
I dare (敢于) not go forward, and I made a dead stop. “Go on, Beauty,” said my master, and he gave
me a touch with the whip (鞭子), but I dare not move. He gave me a sharp cut and I jumped, but I dare
not go forward.
“There’s something wrong, sir,” said John, and he got out and tried to lead me forward. “Come
on, Beauty.” But I knew that the bridge was not safe.
Just then the man on the other side saw us.
“Hey! Halloo! Stop!” he cried.
“What’s the matter?” shouted my master.
“The bridge is broken in the middle, and part of it is carried away. If you go onto it, you’ll be
into the river.”
“Thank you for saving us, Beauty!” said John. He gently turned me round to the right hand road
by the river side. It grew darker and darker, stiller and stiller.
When we returned home the Squire told Mrs Gordon, “Black Beauty saved our lives. He knew
the bridge was dangerous.”
John took me to the stable. Oh! What a good supper he gave me that night! What a nice bed of
straw! I was glad of it, for I was tired.
— Adapted from Black Beauty

We all enjoy being part of a group-there’s no better work than teamwork, right? Actually, I
disagree. Teamwork can be hard. In fact, it was so difficult that I left my office job and started working
from home on my own. It’s a much better fit for me, and it has made me think about why teamwork
can make our jobs harder rather than easier.
Differences in personalities can make teamwork difficult. There’s often someone on the team
that puts their needs first. The team often goes along with this person, whose ideas might not be the
best, just the loudest. Just one difficult personality can make teamwork hard. Combine several
challenging personality types, and it’s even harder.
Not having enough time together can also make teamwork challenging. For example, I was once
on a team where we never had enough time to meet as a group. To successfully work as a team, you
need time together—and lots of it.
A final reason teamwork is difficult is because there’s often no training on how to work on a
team. You can’t just put people in a room and expect them to work well with each other. You need to
build trust with your team members. Think of football players: They aren’t just given a ball and told
第5页/共11页
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司to play. They practice, and they train.
Team can be hard, but working alone has its challenges, too. When my computer doesn’t work, I
don’t have an IT person to turn to. When I have a great idea, I don’t have anyone to share it with to see
if it really is a great idea. Don’t get me wrong—I still like my team of one and enjoy making all of the
important decisions myself. But now I realize what was wrong with the teamwork I did in the past and
how good teamwork could be if done correctly. And that’s useful information—because one day I
might want to turn my ME TEAM into a WE TEAM.
33. Why did the writer choose to work from home on his own?
A. To keep himself busier B. To keep himself healthier
C. To make his job easier D. To make his team harder
34. Which of the following makes teamwork difficult?

C. ME TEAM has no challenges for the writer
D. WE TEAM may be the writer’s choice one day

When it comes to reading, people have different preferences. Some people will choose paper
books because they’re easy to borrow and share. Others will go for e-readers, perhaps on a phone,
because they’re convenient. But which is the more environment-friendly choice?
Digital reading (数字阅读) is on the rise, now making up about 15% of the total US book market.
However, traditional print publishing is still by far the most popular type—and it comes with a high
carbon footprint (碳足迹). According to a 2023 report from Words Rated, print book publishing is the
third biggest source of greenhouse gas emissions (排放), and 32 million trees are cut down each year
in the US to make paper for books. Then there’s the problem of printing and transport, not to mention
the many unsold books that are destroyed.
Digital reading seems to be better than print because it is paperless, so it saves trees and transport.
第6页/共11页
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司Moreover, technology companies that make e-readers, such as Amazon, offer recycling programs for
old devices (设备). But digital devices also come with a large carbon footprint, mainly at the production
stage.
So back to the earlier question: which way of reading is more environmentally friendly? “If you
buy an e-reader and you read lots of books on it, then it’s the lowest carbon thing to do. But if you buy
it, read a couple of books, and find that you prefer paper books, then it’s the worst of all worlds.” said
Mike Berners-Lee, a professor at Lancaster Environment Centre in the United Kingdom. Yet, Berners-
Lee also said that reading is still, relatively speaking, an environmental-friendly activity.
37. What can we know from the text?
A. Printed books have a poor sales record in the US.
B. Print publishing is not friendly to the environment.
C. Digital reading is more popular than paper reading.
D.Printing books costs more than producing e-readers.
38. Which aspect of digital devices has the largest impact on the environment?
A. Its transportation.
B. Its waste management.
C. Its production process.
D. Its recycling programs.
39. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. It remains unclear.
B. It needs further studies.
C. It depends on the specific situation.
D.It is a matter of personal preference
40. What is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Why Should We Choose Digital Reading?
B. How Does Print Publishing Affect the Environment?
C. Will Traditional Print Reading Disappear in the Future?
D. Which is Better for the Environment, Paper Books or E-readers?
