My earliest memories of writing are only school homework, nothing of any creativity. All that       one day, when Mrs Kumar asked us to write “An autobiography(自传) of a pencil”. For me, it was just another piece of homework,   Mrs Kumar reacted(表现) very differently. Maybe she was just being      , or maybe she really liked the work. Whatever her      , she read it out to the class as an example of “fine writing”. A few years later, I went back to my old school. I was walking through the       corridors(走廊) when I passed by Mrs Kumar, who was still teaching her class. She looked up as I passed and I      , not wanting to disturb her. Seeing me, she went out and invited me into her class. “This girl is one of the best      this school has seen,” she said. “She wrote a wonderful autobiography of a pencil. I hope some of you can learn to write like her. ”Even after all these years, I can still clearly remember that moment. My face shines with      whenever I tell someone this experience. I am sure I was not the only student whose school homework Mrs Kumar      . It is likely that she made an effort to make each one of us feel      . However, I had never had anybody praise(表扬) my writing before that. It encouraged me to do better to prove to her that “Look! Your       in me has worked. I am good, because you believe I am. ”Today, I am a successful writer. Thanks to Mrs Kumar, my     are not only a tool(工具) to use. They are also a symbol of little beginnings and the power of a teacher’s encouragement.

解析试题分析:这篇短文讲述的是作者小时候因为受到了老师的表扬,而喜欢上了写作。在遇到这个老师之前,作者觉得写就是做家庭作业,跟创作没有关系。作者在多年后回到学校时,又遇到了这个老师,作者觉得只有更努力才配得上老师的表扬。
【小题1】考查动词及语境的理解。句意:当Kumar夫人让我们写一篇《铅笔的自传》的时候,那一切都变了。start 开始;repeat 重复;change 改变;appear出现。根据短文的第一句话可知,作者关于写的概念只是做家庭作业,跟创作没有关系,但是有一天当Kumar夫人让他们写一篇文章的时候,这个印象改变了。故选C。
【小题2】考查连词及语境的理解。句意:对我来说,那只是另外一个家庭作业而已,但是对Kumar夫人来说却不一样。and 和,表示并列;though 尽管,虽然;so 因此,所以;but但是。根据句意可知,这两句话是转折的关系。故选D。
【小题3】考查形容词及语境的理解。句意:或许她只是很善良,或许是因为她真的喜欢这个工作。kind 好心的,善良的;excited 兴奋的;satisfied 满意的;generous慷慨的。根据下文可知,Kumar夫人把作者写的作文作文好例子读给了全班同学,所以作者觉得她可能是因为善良而这样做的。故选A。
【小题4】考查名词及语境的理解。句意:不管她的原因是什么,她把我的文章作为一个好文章的例子读给了全班同学。reason 原因;cause 导致,促使;effort 努力;wish希望。根据上文意思可知,对她留的这个家庭作业,作者跟老师的想法是不一样的,这里是作者猜测Kumar夫人表现不同的原因。故选A。
【小题5】考查形容词及语境的理解。句意:几年后,我又回到了我的学校,我走过熟悉的走廊。strange 奇怪的,陌生的;endless 无止境的;crowded 拥挤的;familiar熟悉的。根据句意可知,作者在几年后回到了自己的学校,这里的东西是作者熟悉的。故选D。
【小题6】考查动词及语境的理解。句意:我挥了挥手,不想打扰她上课。whisper 小声说;clap 拍手;wave 招手,挥手;cheer欢呼。根据下面这句话的意思可知,作者不想打扰Kumar夫人上课,所以A、B、D三项都不对,选C。
【小题7】考查名词及语境的理解。句意:她说:这个女孩是这个学校最好的作家之一。inventor发明家; writer 作家,作者;winner 胜利者,赢者;visitor参观者。根据文意可知,作者写的一篇作文曾经受到Kumar夫人的夸奖,现在多年后,Kumar夫人对她的学生们介绍作者说,她是这个学校最好的作者之一。故选B。
【小题8】考查名词及语境的理解。句意:当我告诉别人这段经历的时候,我的脸因为自豪而闪着光。courage 勇气;honesty 诚实;pride 自豪,骄傲;modesty谦虚。根据文意可知,作者因为自己受到了老师的夸奖而感到自豪,故应该选C。

There were 50 workers in all, so they were also named the "Fukushima 50". The workers worked in shifts(轮班).
  People knew little about the workers, who were mainly experts (专家) with the skills to control the situation.

  Evolution (进化) has changed our bodies and faces over thousands of years, and it’s still happening. Here’s how experts predict (预测) what people will be like in 1,000 years.
We’ll be about 1.83~2.13 metres tall because of improved nutrition (营养) and medical science. Our arms and fingers will get longer to reduce the need to reach too far.
We’ll have smaller brains, maybe because computers will help us memorize and think most of the things.
There will be larger eyes and smaller mouths. And there may be fewer teeth as softer food needs less chewing and biting. We could even get our nutrition from liquids or pills in the future.
We can expect other great changes too. Everyone will have the same shape of noses. That’s because climate will have less influence on noses with the help of air conditioning and central heating. Besides, we will have more wrinkles (皱纹) as a result of looking at our electronic devices.
We also may end up with saggy (松弛的) necks because extra sun will cause loose skin. And there will be darker skin as people move around the planet and races (种族) mix.
