One Houston high schooler, Derrick Ngo, will be graduating at the top of his class at Energy Institute High School this weekend as valedictorian(致告别辞的最优生).
“I realized that if I didn’t use school and education and the resources that were available to me, then there would be no way that I would get out of the situation I was in,” Derrick said. Driven by his determination to change his future, the 18-year-old channeled all of his childhood frustrations into school. “My mother was heavily involved in alcohol. We often didn’t have that much food. We didn’t have that much money. We didn’t have a stable source of income and that was one of my biggest struggles growing up—the lack of parental guidance,” Derrick said.
Derrick started living on his own when he was 15, occasionally receiving rent checks from his mom. But often, it was barely enough to cover the basic essentials and at one point, at

17 years old, Derrick became homeless. He said the key to his success is discipline and to never lose sight of his end goals.” In having a vision, you have something that you’re working towards. And although it’s not real yet, it’s something that is going to be real one day.” Derrick said.
Derrick applied to the University of Texas at Austin, Princeton, Columbia and Harvard and was accepted into all four key universities. Finally, Derrick will be attending Harvard in the fall. He’s deciding between majoring in philosophy and economics. Currently, Derrick said he’s not sure which career path he’ll pursue in the future, but hopes to impact on other people’s lives.
24. What’s the main factor in Derrick Ngo’s success? A. Childhood experiences. C. Parental guidance. A. Concentrated on study. B. Asked the school for help. C. Spread his stories in the school. D. Carried the memories wherever he went. 26. What can we learn about Derrick Ngo? A. He was abused by his mother. B. His family had no income.

Fancy your own satellite? Arizona State University is working towards making this a reality with its SunCube FemtoSat project. Smaller than a standard CubeSat, the low-cost, student-designed spacecraft is aimed at providing greater access to space for scientists and hobbyists alike.

B. Available resources. D. His determination.
25. What does the underlined part in Paragraph Two mean?
Assistant professor Jekan Thanga and a team of students have been developing the SunCube FemtoSat for the past two years. The small 3 cm3 cube weighs in at just 35 grams and a longer (3 x 3 x 9 cm, l00 g) model has also been designed, which includes storage space.
Each SunCube FemtoSat has its own communication, data collection and propulsion(推动力) systems and is powered by solar panels. It is made of off-the-shelf parts that are available in shops, and the energy-efficient solar panels are cut from unwanted materials, sold at a discount by manufacturers. “With a spacecraft of this size, any university can do it,” says Thanga. “That’s part of our major goal — space discovery for everybody.”
The team says that while launching your own satellite would usually cost between US $ 60,000-70,000 per kilo, it would only cost $ 1,000 to send a SunCube FemtoSat to the International Space Station, and $ 3,000 to send it into low earth orbit. Leaving the earth’s gravity would cost an estimated $ 27,000.
The FemtoSat would be packed with a “jack in the box” style system that matches standard CubeSat sizes (around 10 cm3), simplifying the process of getting the tiny satellite into orbit. NASA has sent 30 CubeSats into space over the last years, with another 50 awaiting launch.
Thanga and his staff view the FemtoSat as a starting point for scientists and students, and even hope the device could be bought on the website like Amazon one day. Thanga imagines developing four main applications for the device, including hands-on testing experiences for students, and artificial gravity experiments. In addition, groups of SunCube FemtoSats could eventually be able to do the job of larger spacecraft at a vastly discounted cost. 28. What is the major goal of the SunCube FemtoSat project? A. To assist average individuals to explore space. B. To provide easy access to spacecraft design. C. To help carry out a classroom experiment. D. To act on college teaching in outer space. 29. What is special about SunCube FemtoSats? A. They are used to collect information. C. They are of the same weight.
B. They are designed for lab use. D. They are made in an economical way.
30. What does Thanga expect of SunCube FemtoSats? A. They’ll be available online.
B. They’ll be provided for free.

The Joy of Absence
How some companies fight the curse of presenteeism (出勤主义)?
RONALD REAGAN famously joked that “it’s true hard work never killed anybody, but I figure, why take the chance?” Beyond a certain level, extra effort seems to be self-defeating. Studies suggest that, after around 50 hours a week, employees’ productivity declines sharply.
But that doesn’t stop some managers from demanding that workers stay chained to their desk for long periods. Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba, the Chinese e-commerce group, recently praised the 996 model, where employees work from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week, as a “great opportunity”. Yet presenteeism is the curse of the modern office worker.
There will be days when you do not have much to do; perhaps because you are waiting for someone else in a different department, or a different company, to respond to a request. As the clock ticks past 5 p.m., there may be no purpose in staying at your desk. But you can see your boss hard at work and, more importantly, they can see you. So you make an effort to look busy.
The consequence is often wasted effort. Rather than work hard, you slave to make bosses think that you are. But presenteeism has more serious consequences. As well as reduced productivity, this can mean greater medical expenses for the employer. According to a study in The Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, these costs can be six times higher for employers than the costs of absenteeism among workers.
None of this is to say that employers are not called to expect workers to be in the office for a proper period of time. Surely there will be a need for some (preferably short) meetings. Dealing with colleagues face-to-face creates a feeling of togetherness, allows for a useful exchange of ideas and enables workers to have a better sense of their mutual needs.
Turning an office into a prison, with inmates (囚犯) allowed home for the evenings, does nothing for creativity that is increasingly demanded of office workers as routine tasks are automated. To be productive you need presence of mind, not being present in the flesh. 32. Why does the author mention Ronald Reagan’s joke in Paragraph One? A. To encourage people to work hard. B. To show that hard work is harmless. C. To introduce the topic of the passage.

D. To praise Ronald Reagan’s joking skills. 33. What is the meaning of the underlined sentence? A. Extra effort causes problems or difficulties. B. With extra effort, we can defeat anybody. C. We should say no to extra effort. D. Extra effort isn’t necessarily helpful.
34. According to the passage, which situation is helpful to a company? A. All workers follow the 996 model praised by Jack Ma. B. Employees don’t go home until their boss does. C. Workers have a brief meeting to discuss an urgency. D. Workers keep working when they are sick.
35. Which of the following opinions agrees with the passage? A. Some managers have workers tied to their desks with a chain. B. Reduced productivity means greater medical expenses for employers. C. A prison-like office doesn’t inspire creativity. D. Presence of mind guarantees your productivity. 第二节（共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分）

Continuous learning benefits us in many ways. First of all, it allows the increase in knowledge and ability in our career.

For a long time bats 61 (be) one of the most feared creatures in the animal kingdom. Many pop culture associations with them are 62 (relate) to vampires(吸血鬼).
