Knute Rockne was born on March 4, 1888, in Vos, Norway. Brought to the United States by his parents at the age of five, he grew up in Chicago.

After graduating from high school, Rockne worked at

various jobs until he had enough money to go to Notre Dame University in South Bend, Indiana. Though only 5-foot-8 tall and 145 pounds, Rockne was a star player on Notre Dame's

football team. During his years on the team, Notre Dame never lost a football game.

After graduating in 1914, Rockne remained at Notre Dame as a chemistry instructor and assistant football coach. Four years later, he became the football team's head coach.

Rockne's success in developing winning Notre Dame teams was unmatched. He taught his players how to work together in perfect harmony（和谐）. They were experts at forward passing and shift plays. Rockne was the best-known college football coach of his time. During his 13 years as head coach, his teams were always winners.

Known for his inspiring talks, Rockne also taught his players good behaviour and attitudes to show respect for the game rules and other players. He was respected by s（对手）, and his own players made him an hero.

On March 31, 1931, Rockne was killed in a plane crash. People were sorrowful at his death. Ten thousand fans crowded into a Chicago train station just to see the train carrying his casket (骨灰盒)back to South Bend. They wanted to pay

Trapped in an elevator These holes can help you out.

Have you seen that tiny hole on the elevator door It might just save your life. Say the elevator you’re in stops at a floor and the doors don’t open. It could be a power failure or an equipment failure. But getting out isn’t easy. Elevators are equipped with lots of features（特征） to keep the doors from opening freely or when they’re between floors.

“What you’ll usually see is that the fire department, or sometimes the building worker will come and use some ways to get the people out while the problem is being worked on.” says Robert Solomon, the director of building and fire protection systems for the National Fire Protection Association.

That’s where those small holes come in. Opening the doors requires a special tool. It is pushed into the door to release the landing door. Since the fire department began requiring them in the 1970s, manufacturers such as Otis and Schindler have equipped their elevators with them.

The keys are usually held by a special number of people, such as an elevator worker or building assistant in charge. The fire department also requires that special access tools for each building be kept in a secure location such as a Knox Box that firefighters can open.

“Fortunately, it’s rare that using the keys is necessary.” Solomon says.

28. Why are elevators fixed with special features

A. To make sure of safety.

B. To open the door easily.

C. To increase of efficiency.

D. To let the air in.

29. What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 4 probably refer to

A. Keys.

B. Landing doors.

C. Small holes.

D. Tools.

30. Where should special access tools be put

A. In an obvious place.

B. In a safe spot.

C. At the building corner.

D. On the special shelf.

31. What can be a suitable title for the text

A. The steps you escape from the trapped elevator

B. The right key elevators should be opened at once

C. The measures you should take in the trapped elevator

D. The real reason elevators have those small holes

D

A common argument for expanding renewable energy sources is that technologies such as solar panels （太阳板）release far less carbon dioxide than power plants（发电厂） that burn oil. Only about 3 percent of the Earth’s water is freshwater, most of which is frozen—That means only 0.8 percent of the planet’s water can be served for human use. Water is a necessary, but limited product. And nearly 1 billion people worldwide lack of fresh water. In the U.S., 45.3 percent of the freshwater is used to cool off thermoelectric (热电)power plants: nuclear reactors and plants that burn oil.

To provide electricity for an average home, a nuclear power plant requires 615 gallons of cooling water a day, a coal-fired plant, 199 gallons per day, and a natural gas power plant, 114 gallons per day. Let’s look at how much water each power source takes to make one megawatt(兆瓦)-hour of electricity.

Nuclear reactors are the highest, at 13,000 gallons. Then comes coal, natural gas. The water needed by solar panels is lower. These numbers only reflect operations to make electricity; they do not include water used to get the fuel or make the power. For example, fracking (水力压裂)can use hundreds of thousands of gallons each time to make a rock cracked to release natural gas. Large quantities of water becomes vapor. The rest is sent back to the environment, but some of that is fixed with chemicals, and most of it is hot, which can kill fish and other living things.

Natural gas, coal and nuclear power plants ranked one, two and three in 2016, according to the total amount of U.S. electricity made in a year. And natural gas is projected to become even more important through 2050.

To protect fresh water, it seems clear that the country should change toward renewables. This would make more freshwater for food production and human use.

32.Which uses the most water to make electricity

A. Coal-fired plant.

B. A natural gas power plant.

C. Solar panels.

D. A nuclear power plant.

33.For what purpose does the author provide so many numbers

A. To provide proof to scientists.

B. To state the fact of making electricity.

C. To tell readers to treasure freshwater.

D. To prove that non-renewable energy uses much more water.

34.What suggestion does the author make in the passage

A. Fresh water should be protected.

B. Renewable energy should be put into use.

C. Non-renewable energy should use less water.

D. People should save fresh water.

35. What is the main idea of the text

A. Non-renewable energy pollutes environment.

B. Renewable energy saves water.

C. Electricity needs much water to make.

D. Ways are listed to make electricity.

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Today, most homes have a can opener. 36 Canning food is a great way to make food last longer. We can buy many types of canned food―meat, fruit, vegetables, and soup. And a can opener is the tool that we use to open the cans easily.

The idea of canning food originally began with glass cans. Peter Durand invented the first tin cans for preserving food

in the 1800s. At that time, these first cans were developed

for the British Navy. However, they were difficult to open.

37 The instructions for opening the cans said,“ Open with hammer and chisel.”

Thinner tin cans were developed around 1860. In 1858, Ezra Warner developed the first version of the can opener. It

worked like a bayonet(刺刀) and sickle(小镰刀). The

“bayonet” pierced the can, and "the sickle" lifted the lid

up by turning it. This can opener was only available at the store at that time. 38

The first can opener consisting of a sharp rotating

cutting wheel was invented in 1870. 39 Then, a breakthrough design came in 1925 when a second serrated wheel(锯齿轮) was added to hold the cutting wheel on the ring of the can. This easy-to-use design has become one of the most popular can opener models.

40 Now many people have electric can openers which make

it much easier to open the can, and you don’t have to turn it yourself. However, it is a good idea to keep a can opener that is not electric in your house.

A. It is impossible for the ordinary people to own one.

B. Cans would be opened before the customer left the store.

C. Over the years, the can opener has been improved greatly.

D. They were made of iron and weighed more than the food inside.

E. This is because most of us have some canned food at our homes.

F. But it was considered too difficult for the ordinary consumers to operate.

G. Therefore, many people were trying to replace it with a more practical one.

I believe that love and kindness conquer all. Ever since I was little, my parents told me even though people are 57 sometimes, the best way to deal with that is kindness. I

believe if we had not shown our 58 toward these people, that would 59 both sides in the end. 60 ,if we stuck to（坚持）our hatred and live in the shadow of it, we would never enjoy

高二期中总结会班主任发言稿

高二期中总结会班主任发言稿领导们，老师们，同学们： 时间如白驹过隙，过得非常快，转眼间期中考试就结束了。在高二级管委会的指引下，在这次期中考试中，高二X班小有进步，这是高二X班六个科任老师精心教学、全体同学努力学习的结果。作为班主任，我责无旁贷，只是尽职而已。从8月份暑假补课到现在，三个月来，除了做了一些班主任日常流程的一些杂事外，我印象中的是做了或者是强调了这些事情或观点，并时常唠叨。 1、在8月1日的班会课上，我要求学生严格按照作息时间行事。上课钟声一响，课室即静；就寝灯一熄，宿舍要马上安静下来。这两个要求，实际上就初步解决了学习和睡觉的问题。刚开始，有个别学生宿舍在深夜还有讲话的现象，我先是做工作，后有几次零点左右来突击抓人，这样再三处理后，宿舍睡觉纪律就彻底改观了。唐代名臣魏征曾对唐太宗说，皇上要垂衣拱手治理天下，不必劳神苦思，事事代替百官的职务，那样也治理不好国家。这个说法，作为管理班级的班主任，有一定的借鉴意义。所以，我要求同学们高度自我管理。高度自律，管好自己，这是我一开始就定好的基调。当然，这需要一个慢慢的适应过程。 2、给班级定位，给自己定位。高二X班是一个普通班，我跟学生说，不管学校如何划分，我作为班主任，把我班定位为重点班。你们每人，要把自己当成是重点班的学生。作为理科生，上大学的路是很宽广的，每个同学至少要有上本A的打算，希望大家努力拼搏，不放弃，不抛弃，满怀信心。虽然道路是曲折的，但前途是光明的。 3、很抓学习习惯的养成。有一句名言是这样说的：行为决定习惯，习惯决定性格，性格决定命运。这句话，我虽然并不完全赞

同，比如性格决定命运，因为性格并无好坏之分。但是我觉得它的前一句还是有一定道理的，行为决定习惯，一个人有好的习惯，他往往会取得成功。在课堂上睡觉，这就是一个坏习惯，是一个丑陋的习惯。一个再聪明的’人，只要在课堂上睡觉，他也什么学不会，久之，也会变得愚蠢起来。桌面的处理、上课的准备、试卷的订正与保存，这些都是需要良好的习惯来维持。 4、八月底军训前和军训后，我先后给学生做了思想工作。军训后，还特地开了一个主题班会，通报了在这次军训中同学们的表现情况，表扬优点，指出不足，并总结了军训的四点意义：强健体魄，磨练意志力，培养团队意识，加强纪律性、增强执行力。希望同学们在这四点上继续发扬。 5、针对部分同学玩手机，我开了一个“告别深夜手机党”的主题班会，目的也是让同学们晚上能睡好觉，白天能精神抖擞地学习。 6、最近我连续开了三节以“学习方法纵横谈”为主题的班会。先让学生提出在学习中的困惑及各种学习方面存在的问题，我同大家一起解答。比如，有学生问，怎样学好数理化，我告诉他，我是学文科的，这方面应该说不具备发言权。但是当年高考，文科也要考数学，我可以结合自己学数学的经历，与大家分享学习经验。同学们应该首先把数理化课本的知识点搞懂，数理化是揭示自然科学的，里面有很强的逻辑，也有美学意义。自己要反复看书，明白知识点；其次，这些课本里的习题分为课堂习题和课外习题，课堂习题简单，是课本知识的延续；课外习题往往又分为A组和B组，对于这些习题，要像日本人当年进中国乡村一样，大规模扫荡，一个不留。碰到不会的，问同学，问老师；考完试，订正试卷，错题必纠，有的还要把知

高中生迎接期中考试演讲稿

精选高中生迎接期中考试演讲稿 同学们： 早上好!十分荣幸能够在这样一个充满希望的早上有机会和大家一起交流，今天我想和大家交流的话题是： 如何面对期中考试。 期中考试既是一项常规工作，更是对学校教育教学 工作及学生学习发展的一次综合检阅，它不仅是对同学 们基础知识、基本技能和学习能力的一次评估，也是对 同学们思想品德、学习态度的一次考验。 当然，在这个时候，大家是否也该认真问一下自己：在这段时间内，我的学习效果如何?上课认真听讲了吗? 课后科学地复习所学的知识了吗?给自己制定合理的奋斗目标了吗?把它们找出来并且用心想想，它们意味着什么。那么，你会明确：从现在开始应该做的是：总结之前的 学习，制订合理的计划，复习迎考!不过考试光有热情是不够的，还要注意方法。 第一，要珍惜时间。 法国的圣西门，在小时候，每天要仆人催他早起， 他激励自己：起来吧!伟大的事业在等待你!中国唐代著 名书法家颜真卿也说过：三更灯火五更鸡，正是男儿发 奋时。在这期中复习最紧张的时刻，需要提醒同学们一

点的是：学习是以时间做保证的，三个星期的时间不算长，同学们要在各任课老师的指导下，合理安排学习时间，进行复习。善于安排时间的人可以有一个长足的进步。 谁吝啬时间，时间就对谁慷慨;谁荒废时间，时间也就荒废谁。我们要抓住分分秒秒，少讲空话多做实事， 提高学习的效率。那种怀有侥幸思想，闲时不烧香，急 时抱佛脚，听天由命的做法是万万要不得的。成功的取 得来自于你每一天扎扎实实的学习，来自于你每一节课 认认真真的投入，来自于你每一晚废寝忘食的拼搏。希 望同学们劳逸结合，不断提高复习效率。 第二，做好知识上的准备。 人的记忆遗忘规律告诉我们，遗忘是人的必然，世 上从来就没有过目不忘的人，因此每位同学都要重视考 前的复习。孔子说：温故而知新。就是告诉我们学习要 重视复习，一个成绩优秀的学生肯定是肯吃苦，肯钻研，认真复习并掌握科学的学习方法的人。所以希望每一位 同学能够在老师的指导下，把所学的知识认真整理、归类，并全面系统地进行复习。 复习是巩固和强化所学知识必不可少的手段，是学 习过程中至关重要的环节。复习不单是机械的重复，而 更应包含着对知识的理解和运用。平常学习好一些的同

高二期中考试总结发言稿

高二期中考试总结发言稿 尊敬的老师、亲爱的同学们： 经过两个多月紧张的学习生活，我们即将迎来对我们学习成果的一次大检阅期中考试。我们应以积极的心态备考，全力以赴，争取考出好成绩。考试的正常发挥，很大程度上在于我们的心态。与其说去应付考试，不如说去迎接考试;与其说是检测自己，不如说是提高自己。通过考试，每一位同学都可以找到自己在学习中存在的不足，离老师的要求还有哪些差距，自己的学习方法是否得当等等，以便在今后的学习中做适当的调整。因此，同学们一定要以正确的态度认真对待期中考试，把握这次机会，充分展示自己的才华和智慧。其实，在考试中，很多解题是有规律的，不需要大量的死记硬背，只要是理解的东西就可以把它们从自己的头脑中删除掉。当然，在上考场之前，我们应掌握一些考试的技巧。答题时要先易后难，要灵活运用各种简便方法。例如，数学题中有很多选择题可以不通过一般计算解出，如果平时练多了，完全可以一眼看出答案。还有一些选择题可以用代入法、排除法来解决，两个相反的选择必有一错，且另一个往往是对的。在不能确认哪个是正确选项时，应先排除错误较明显的选项，再在剩下的选项里比较、定夺。另外，解方程的选择题可以把选项带入题干中验证。良好的心态是成功的一半。有很多学生，在考试前，还没有上考场就紧张的

不行，到考场后，以前复习得很好的知识一下子都忘了，很多题也好像不会做了。我们要相信自己完全能够做好，相信成功就在不远的前方。 我们一定要多激发自己，要知道有有志者、事竟成的道理。同时，在复习考试中，还需要有一颗平常心。要心态平和，情绪平稳，才可能保证把整个身心投入到学习和考试中。我们还要善于不断地放松自己，适当地松弛，保证起居正常，千万不要造成生物钟的紊乱。要记住，保持考前的最佳心态是考试成功的基础。诚实守信是新世纪人才最基本的做人准则，所以公平竞争也是我们必须遵守的一个原则。孟子有云：车无辕而不行，人无信则不立。在这个物质文明和精神文明高速发展的时代，社会各方各面对个人的诚信越来越看重，诚信对于每一个人来说都是非常重要的，树道德之新风，立诚信之根本，是我们每一个人义不容辞的责任。只有真诚地面对自己，诚实做人、诚实做事才能获得更多的信任与尊重。因此我们切勿因小失大，为力求考试通过，而违背考试的真意，任由自己一时不负责任的行为而遗憾终身。考试成绩的不如意是暂时的，即使自己的成绩不理想，也不要在考试中采取不正当的竞争手段，我们应当做一个光明磊落的人。赢要赢得别人心服口服，输也要输的坦坦荡荡。期中考试是对前一阶段学习状况的一个总结，成绩的高低反映的是同学们半个学期以来学习状态的好坏。但是，考试成绩只

You would think people like this have special brains. But accordingto a recent study by researchers from the US and the Netherlands, the brain structuresof ordinary people and 23 of the world’s leading memory athletes show no difference. That’s because good memories can be trained. New research inthe journal Neuron suggests that you can become a super memorizer with just sixweeks of hard training. Researchers found that technique called loci, invented by ancient Greeks,can greatly help improve memory. By using loci, you are using your imagination toimprove the brain’s memory ne tworks. You can link something you need to remember with aplace that you know very well. For example, to remember a list of numbers, imagineyourself walking through your house.

期中英语考试卷及答案

英语期中考试试卷 Part I Reading Comprehension (10×4 = 40) Passage One Television has opened windows in everybody's life. Young men will never again go to war as they did in 1914. Millions of people now have seen the effects of a battle. And the result has been a general dislike of war, and perhaps more interest in helping those who suffer from all the terrible things that have been shown on the screen. Television has also changed politics. The most distant areas can now follow state affairs, see and her the politicians before tan election. Better informed, people are more likely to vote, and so to make their opinion count. Unfortunately, television's influence has been extremely harmful to the young. Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world; that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. They believe that the violence they see is normal and acceptable. All educators agree that the "television generations" are more violent than their parents and grandparents. Also, the young are less patient. Used to TV shows, where everything is quick and interesting, they do not have the patience to read an article without pictures; to read a book that requires thinking; to listen to a teacher who doesn't do funny things like the people on children's programs. And they expect all problems to be solved happily in ten, fifteen, or thirty minutes. That's the time it takes on the screen. 1. In the past, many young people ______. A) knew the effects of war B) went in for politics C) liked to save the wounded in wars D) were willing to be soldiers 2. Now with TV people can ________. A) discuss politics at an information center B) show more interest in politics C) make their own decisions on political affairs D) express their opinions freely 3. The author thinks that TV advertisements ______. A) are not reliable on the whole B) are useless to people C) are a good guide to adults D) are very harmful to the young 4.
