I may be too old, but here goes!
This summer, I quit my job and resolved to rent out my flat and go travelling in South East Asia for a year. You might think I'm lucky, but I'm 30 years old, and I'm nervous.
It's not that I（25）____________（not do）the travelling thing before, After university, I spent two years backpacking around North and South America, and when I returned, I was determined to do it again someday. But you know how it is…I fell in love, started a career, bought a flat and got used to earning a salary. But I gradually realized I had been sacrificing my own sense of worth for my salary. When I handed in that letter of resignation, it felt（26）____________ ____________I'd taken charge of my life again.
I now have no ties. Many of my friends are now married with children and, while they wouldn't exchange places with me, they envy me my lack of responsibilities. I'm no longer in a relationship, and I have no burning career ambitions. I feel almost obliged（27）____________（make）the most of that freedom-if only for my friends' sake!
Why am I so nervous In the first place, it's a question of making the necessary arrangements. How could I bear having someone else live in my home And how would I go about organizing the letting And apart from anything else, I had to decide on the place（28）____________I want to go first.
I'm a shocking procrastinator（拖延者）, and am already several weeks behind my（29）____________（intend）schedule. "Might as well enjoy the summer in England,” I told myself.

Stepney Words
Chris Searle's journey as a teacher at Sir John Cass Secondary School in Stepney, East London, began in 1970. He was driven by a strong 32 to the area and a progressive vision for education. Having completed a postgraduate thesis（论文）on Isaac Rosenberg, a poet from the East End, Searle saw Stepney as a place filled with potential, in spite of its 33 as a hopeless community. He believed that education, particularly through poetry, could transform the lives of his students, many of whom came from low-income, high-risk backgrounds.
Searle's unconventional approach 34 with the traditional views of the school's governors and teachers. At a time when discipline was harsh and students were often regarded as troublemakers. Searle viewed these 35 teenagers as individuals with untapped potential. He believed that poetry could unlock their creativity and help them express their experiences, offering them a sense of hope and purpose.
His belief in poetry's power materialized in the creation of Stepney Words, a collection of his students' poems. Despite the 36 from some staff who thought his methods too liberal（自由主义的）, the poems gained attention, and some of them were even published in The Sun newspaper by March 1971. The 37 gave the students a voice, but it also drew criticism from school officials who thought the poems were "too gloomy."
Searle's progressive ideals led to his 38 from the school. However, his students, 39 by the decision, organized a protest led by 16-year-old Zenaida de la Cruz. The entire school quickly 40 , standing together with Searle. On his return to the school, he found 800 students standing outside the gates in the rain, showing their support. Though the government eventually allowed him to return, he decided to leave the school in1974. His commitment to education did not end there—he continued to teach around the world and published his own poetry, leaving behind a（n） 41 impact of optimism, innovation, and faith in the power of education to bring about change.
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A Cloze（1'*15=15'）
Directions: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Only one class at Greendale High School let students dress up like singing candlesticks, carved rocks from foam, and play double-blind freeze. The class is Drama and Theatre, which is taught by Mr. Maclay. But it isn't all fun and games. The course also includes a 42 study of plays throughout time and a（an） 43 of how plays are put together. Drama and Theatre begins by 44 knowledge into students' heads and ends by requiring students to pull out that knowledge onstage.
The first half of the course is 45 to drama, which is the study of the history variety, and structure of plays. The course covers plays that range from ancient to modern, from classics by playwrights like Shakespeare and O'Neil to obscure（鲜为人知的）and 46 plays. Students learn to interpret drama, which is an essential skill for anyone in theatre. Actors and directors must interpret drama to give an authentic performance; technical people must interpret drama to design effective sets, lighting and sound; and theater managers and promoters must interpret drama to 47 shows and attract audiences.
The second half of the course focuses on theater—which is the art of putting on a play. Students must complete projects in many areas of theatre production: lighting, set and costume design, makeup, stage management, directing, and acting. This requirement means that everyone learns what it is like for the other people involved in a production. Often, actors and crews hang together and 48 other groups in case of interference. By the time of our final production, our class was a 49 theatre group that worked well together under stress.
The best feature of the class, 50 , is Mr. Maclay himself whose 51 of teaching and acting is expressed in the words of Polonius "To thine（古英语:你的）own self be true"（Hamlet 1.3.78）. Mr. Maclay has appeared in
famous regional theaters and has performed with prestigious theatre companies. He has a wealth of knowledge and stories that he uses as he teaches. 52 , instead of simply saying that mistakes happen onstage, Mr. Maclay tells how he once tripped（绊倒）on his coat and almost 53 the other actor off the stage. His stories are educational, entertaining and inspirational. Mr. Maclay expects a great deal of himself and of his students and he inspires everyone to 54 to the challenge.
Sometimes, however, Mr. Maclay's ambitions 55 his students' abilities. For example, he requires each student to memorize a Shakespearean soliloquy（独白）and recite it for the class. After the students nervously deliver their speeches, Mr. Maclay calls them up again to redeliver the soliloquies in different ways: as fast as possible, as loud as possible, sarcastically, with gestures for each word, like cartoon characters. Few students can meet this challenge.
Overall, Drama and Theatre is a fascinating course. Mr. Maclay expects great things of his students, and most often students 56 themselves by meeting or exceeding his expectations. Even when Mr. Maclay pushes students beyond their abilities, they realize how much they need to learn. He teaches his students that "We are such stuff as dreams are made on"（The Tempest 4.1.156）.

①The bell rang. Jada sighed, slowly moved from the lockers where she had been leaning, and headed down the hall to her chemistry class. Honors Chemistry! Jada couldn't believe that her mom was making her take the class because Jada's counselor had said that she had real talent in science.
②Jada had to admit that she liked science and that last year's class was a breeze, but come on, Honors Chemistry She wouldn't know anyone in the class, and they probably wouldn't know anyone like her.

④Jada held her breath and walked in. Everyone's eyes were on her. She just knew it. They were staring at her coal black hair（freshly dyed）, her black lipstick, her black fingernail polish, and her thrift-store black leather jacket. All she saw were polo shirts and khaki pants.

"But just take a minute and introduce yourself to the person sitting at your table. You'll be partners. You'll be working closely together all year."

In the old days—say, the 1980s—if you bought a piece of technology, a paperback user guide came with it. It was the manufacturer's one big chance to explain its engineers' thinking to you, to communicate what the designers and marketers had in mind.
Supplying documentation seemed, at the time, like a good idea all around. Mastery made customers happy, and happy customers meant repeat sales. But there were other forces at play. Printing and binding took time and money—and customers didn't seem to be reading user manuals.
Over time, therefore, physical manuals began disappearing from our hardware and software boxes. Maybe you'd get a Quick Start leaflet, but the rest was online.
Online, you can search for certain terns, find topics faster and post questions for other people. Online communities and answer sites sprang up. Mini tutorials on the Internet began showing you how to perform a task. And it's all free.
Meanwhile the kind of technologies we use has changed. "People increasingly spend time in apps and social sites that have a fairly simple interface（界面）," Tim O'Reilly told me. （He's founder of O'Reilly Media, which publishes my own how-to books. ）You don't need a manual to use Google.
That was the beginning of the end for physical manuals. In principle, the death of professionally prepared support materials shouldn't be any cause for concern. It's just another big change caused by the Internet, another in the list of casualties, such as printed encyclopedias, newspaper classified ads and music on discs.
In reality, though, none of the tech industry's teaching channels, whether physical or online, is universal and effective. To this day, it's astonishing how little we know about our phones, computers and software. A Microsoft product manager once told me that most feature requests the company gets for Microsoft Office are, in fact, already features of Microsoft Office.
Hardware and software makers still operate with their traditional business model: Every year or so they sell us a new version, whose appeal is supposed to be more features. And so, as time goes by, our devices and apps become more and more complex—but access to documentation remains limited and incomplete.
In the fantasy version of our world, designers would make our tech products simple enough. their important features obvious enough, for the masses to figure out on their own. Until then, there will be a growing information gap between the features we want and the engineering work that's already been done.
64. The word "casualties"（paragraph 6）is closest in meaning to___________.
A. causes B. manuals C. industries D. victims
65. Why did the author mention what a Microsoft product manager once told him
A. To criticize the lack of access that we have to complete documentation.
B. To reveal the traditional business model that software makers operate with.
C. To emphasize that it is a pity that physical manuals are no longer available.
D. To illustrate that people actually know little about the tech products they use.
66. What can be inferred from the passage
A. Tech companies' teaching channels are shrinking as time goes by.
B. There is little chance that tech products will soon be simple enough.
C. Printed manuals worked better than online versions.
D. Consumers of the 1980s loved to read user manuals.
67. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage
A. What Happened to User Manuals B. How Did Physical Manuals Prosper
C. How Simple Will Our Tech Products Be D. What Change Has the Internet Brought About
