2．There are days when I find it necessary to step outside my classroom and check to be sure that my name is still in the TEACHER space over my door.Sometimes I feel that I am a student in my classroom rather than the teacher.
Seated in the classroom，my sixth grade students each held a different tool in the hand.The students discussed how words are like tools-they have the ability to build or to destroy，and they discovered how the right tool used at the right time for the right job can produce great results.I watched and listened with a sense of satisfaction.They got it!
A.few days later，one of my students，Laura，had an unexpected outburst in class.She refused to work with her group.I asked her to excuse herself and to go to our next door team center.She marched from the back of the room to our classroom door-shooting me an angry look，and then proceeded to slam the door as she left for the team meeting room.
Minutes later，I stood over her.Being extremely angry about her disrespectful behavior，I was sharp in my tone and harsh with my words.When I paused for her response，she stated， "You're using your tool against me." I was speechless.
There are times when you are at a critical crossroads with a student and the road you choose will make all the difference.I knew at that moment the right thing to do was to kneel down next to her chair，and softly say， "You're right，Laura.I have used my words unwisely and unkindly.Will you forgive me？" She looked me in the eye and simply said， "Yes，I forgive you，Mrs.Ekre.I'm sorry，too."
At the end of the year，she wrote me a beautiful letter，attached to which was a small key-a tool，she said，for a language arts teacher who taught her how important words can be.It serves as my reminder of a lesson I taught as a teacher but one I really learned from my student.

3．For the first time，United Nations members have agreed on a unified treaty （协议） to protect biodiversity on the high seas，representing a turning point for vast stretches of the planet where conservation has previously been held back by a confusing patchwork （拼凑）of laws.
The UN Convention on the Law of the Sea came into force in 1994，before marine biodiversity was a well-established concept.An updated framework to protect marine life in the regions outside national boundary waters，known as the high seas，had been in discussions for more than 20 years，but previous efforts to reach an agreement had repeatedly failed.The unified treaty，which applies to nearly half the planet's surface，was reached late on Saturday.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres welcomes the finalization of the text of the United Nations Ocean Treaty，his spokesman said on Saturday. "This breakthrough，which covers nearly two-thirds of the ocean，marks the culmination of nearly two decades of work and builds on the legacy （遗产）of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea，" a statement said.
Nichola Clark，an ocean expert at the Pew Charitable Trusts called the long-awaited treaty text "a once-in-a-generation opportunity to protect the oceans-a major win for biodiversity".The treaty will create a new body to manage the conservation of ocean life and establish marine-protected are-as on the high seas.Clark said that's critical to achieving the UN Biodiversity Conference's recent promise to protect 30 percent of the planet's waters，for conservation.The treaty also establishes ground rules for conducting environmental impact assessments for commercial activities in the oceans.
Treaty negotiations were initially anticipated to conclude on Friday，but stretched through the night into Saturday.The making of the treaty represents "a historic and overwhelming success for international marine protection，" said Steffi Lemke，Germany's environment minister.
（1）What can we learn about the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea？
A．It is the basis of the UN Ocean Treaty.
B．It leads to a lot of controversy.
C．It has been discussed for over 20 years.
D．It is a complete failure.
（2）Which of the following could replace the underlined word "culmination" in Paragraph 3？
A．Beginning.
B．Impact.
C．End.
D．Break.
（3）What can be inferred from Paragraph 4？
A．Commercial ocean activities will be monitored.
B．Preservation of 30% of the planet will be ensured.
C．Protected areas on the high seas will be expanded.
D．An existing department will manage the conservation.
（4）Why is the making of the UN ocean treaty recognized as a historic success？
A．It takes tough and long negotiations.
B．The high seas are stressed for the first time.
C．Unity in protecting the high seas is achieved.
D．The concept of marine biodiversity is established.组卷：8引用：3难度：0.3

9．阅读下面材料、根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I arrived home from school.jye.ai was falling.A call came from the public：a bird of unknown species was being attacked by a group of noisy children in his front garden.He scared them off and grabbed their victim.I immediately called for my classmate Jack to the spot.
We were standing in front of a stranger's house in an unfamiliar street，rescue box in hand.jye.ai head full of instructions to follow."The bird would be our first test as a volunteer wildlife rescuer!"Jack said excitedly.We had completed the two-day intensive training course the previous month and learned the basic skills of rescuing animals in various situations.
But we were anxious，too.After all，it was the first lime for us to rescue a bird.Would I be able to transfer the bird neatly into my rescue box？Many worries flashed in my mind.Sensing my unease about the act ahead，Jack said，"These things are pretty easy to deal with!"
I was wondering what kind of bird it was when a kind-looking man appeared and led us inside to see our very first patient.I lifted the edge of the shoe box very slightly to see an angry-looking bird standing to attention on very thin and long legs，together with a slice of banana and a small dish of water.He didn't know its true name but the folks called the creature Red Fan."It's eaten some banana，"said the man proudly.The poor soul seemed rather nervous，so I decided not to grab it by hand but just transfer the whole shoebox into my rescue box.
Back home，we could only see some minor injuries in the left wing，but there was no blood on its feathers.Jack managed to treat the injuries with some iodophor（碘伏药水）.We assessed its condition to find out if it was appropriate to release the bird the next day.How could we help it spend the night peacefully？We hadn't seen this species of bird before，let alone its habits.
注意：
（1）续写词数要求应为150左右；
（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。"Why not do a search on the Internet？"suggested Jack.
The next day，we were glad to see the bird was well enough.
