2．It was June 14 and the last day of middle school had arrived.
I had spent the past couple of months trashing and treasuring all the things that I have accumulated in my classroom over the past 19 years.Looking into my classroom，you can see about two dozen boxes and bins inside，piled nearly three-quarters high to the ceiling，all packed and ready for the big move.The 22- million-dollar restoration work was only days away from starting and we were instructed that everything must go.
My parents Michael and Donna，wife Laura and newborn baby Summer had arrived that day.The students had heard so much about my daughter and were excited to meet her for the first time.My mother was there to help organize my classroom nearly 19 years ago and hadn't seen it since.My father had visited on a few occasions，as had my wife.That day marked not only the end of an era for me，but the dawning of a new beginning.
The day before，I had thrown a party for my students.The feelings were mixed，as I knew that this would be the farewell （告別） party in my classroom of 19 years and the last time I would see all of these students together.I thought back to when they were all in middle school and would visit me in my classroom on my birthday.They made it an annual tradition.I will treasure these moments for the rest of my life.
Change，like sunshine，can be a friend or a foe （敵人），a blessing or a curse，a dawn or a dusk.I've learned over the years in working with over 2，000 children that looking at things from an optimistic perspective and taking the time to foster relationships with people make the world a happier and safer place.No matter what a person's life circumstances may be，you can be the change in their life that will bring them a sense of self-worth，which will ultimately provide them with the opportunity to become who they are meant to be.They might go on to change the world.

3．One of the many aspects of "normal" life that SARS-CoV-2 took away was the enjoyment of live musical performances.With the easing of lockdowns and restrictions in many parts of the world，performers can entertain audiences once again，but concerns about spreading the virus remain.Now，a research reported in ACS Environmental Au have studied aerosol （懸浮顆粒） production from playing wind instruments，singing and acting，allowing them to develop recommendations to minimize COVID transmission.
Early in the pandemic，COVID-19 outbreaks from choir performances indicated that singing carries a potential infection risk，but less is known about the risks of airborne infection from wind instruments.To help keep performers，audiences and music students safe，Tehya Stockman，Shelly Miller and colleagues wanted to examine aerosol production and flow in the air from various musical activities，as well as test different solutions.
The researchers examined the extent and speed of air circulation，or small drops of substances，coming from singers' and actors' mouths and from wind instruments，such as the flute，clarinet （單簧管），trumpet and saxophone.They also measured airborne aerosols and carbon dioxide levels exhaled from the performers.They found that aerosol concentrations coming from the bell of a clarinet were comparable to singing.Placing a surgical mask over a singer's face or over the clarinet bell sharply reduced the extent and speed of air circulation and decreased aerosol concentrations in front of the masks.The team then used these measurements to model virus transmission in indoor and outdoor environments，finding that the lowest risk of airborne COVID-19 infection occurred at less than 30 minutes of exposure indoors and less than 60 minutes outdoors.These findings could help musical rehearsals and performances continue in a safer manner for musicians and audiences，the researchers say.
（1）What is the purpose of the research？
A．To remove lockdowns and restrictions.
B．To promote live musical performances.
C．To find ways to reduce spread of the virus.
D．To reduce aerosol production from instruments.
（2）What have the researchers done to keep people safe？
A．They have increased air flow from various musical activities.
B．They have indicated that singing carries a possible infection risk.
C．They have tried to measure the risk of infection from instruments.
D．They have found out approaches to preventing aerosol production.
（3）What does the underlined word "exhale" mean in Paragraph 3？
A．Breath out.
B．Give away.
C．Take in.
D．Test out.
（4）Which of the following is a finding of the research？
A．Less than 30 minutes of exposure indoors avoids virus transmission.
B．Using a surgical mask can reduce the risks of airborne virus infection.
C．The manner of the musicians and audiences affects the risks of infection.
D．Aerosol concentrations from a clarinet is much more obvious than singing.組卷：17引用：1難度：0.7

9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開(kāi)頭語(yǔ)續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
"Once there was a ship travelling on the tough sea and on the ship there was a pair of couple.All of a sudden，the ship met with an accident and the couple had no choice but to run to the life boat without delay.After reaching there，they realized that there was space only for one person.At that very moment，the husband pushed his wife behind him and jumped onto the lifeboat himself，leaving his wife standing on the sinking ship，shouting something desperately to her husband eyes filled with tears."
The teacher stopped her story-telling and asked her students， "Guys，guess what it was that she shouted."
Most students answered. "I hate you!"
After listening to all this reply，the teacher glanced through the whole class again and noticed that there was a boy sitting silently throughout.Then she asked him the same question.
The boy answered， "I believe she would have shouted-Take care of our child."
Listening to his remarks，the teacher was surprised and asked the boy doubtfully. "Have you heard of this story before？"
Shaking his head，the boy said softly and sadly， "No，I haven't.But that's what my mother said to my father before she died of a deadly disease."
Moved and feeling sad，the teacher replied. "Your answer is absolutely right!"
Then she continued， "Let's take up the story.The ship sank eventually and the husband went home and brought up their daughter alone.Many years later after the death of the man，their daughter was tidying up all his belongings when she found his diary.In his diary she found that when her parents were on the ship，her mother had already been diagnosed （診斷） with advanced illness and at the critical moment，the father rushed to the only chance of survival."
