26、March 25, 2020
Dear students and parents.
As our state continues to fight against the spread of COVID-19, the State Board of Education has voted to authorize the closure of all public schools in Oklahoma for the remainder of the 2019-20 school year.
Jenks Public Schools (JPS) will be transitioning to distance learning beginning April 6 through the end of the school year. All JPS school buildings and facilities will remain closed until further notice. All activities, athletic events, club meetings, school sponsored trips are canceled for the 2019-20 school year.
JPS administrators are working on plans for a district-wide distance learning program. Please be patient over the next week as these plans are finalized. As soon as more information is available, you will be notified.
The time being missed due to the coronavirus-related closure will not have to be made up. Summer will not be shortened and as of now, the start of the 2020-21 school year will not be delayed.
We recognize the disappointment and difficulty this closure is causing our students and families. Our thoughts go out to our senior class knowing they will not have the opportunity to walk across a graduation stage in front of their family, friends, and peers. Please be assured, we will find a way to honor our seniors and recognize their achievements.
None of this is easy but despite our distance, we are still one Trojan family. We will continue to love and support each other. We will always make decisions based on what is best for our students. Thank you for your trust. You will hear from us very soon.
Sincerely,
JPS Administration

27、 Characters in novels don't always do what the writer wants them to do. Sometimes they cause trouble，take on lives of their own, or even work against the writer. It's not just a problem for inexperienced authors: famed children's novelist Roald Dahl said he got the main character in his book Matilda so “wrong” that when he'd finished his first version, he threw it away and started again.
Of course it's not the characters' fault. The problem lies with the author. Take Stephen King, who admitted that writing working-class characters is more difficult nowadays because his own circumstances have changed. “It is definitely harder,” King said. “When I wrote Carrie many years ago, I was one step away from physical labour.”
This is also true for characters' ages, added King. “When you have small children, it is easy to write young characters because you observe them and you have them in your life all the time. But your kids grow up. It's been harder for me to write about this little 12-year-old girl in my new book because my models are gone.”
For other authors, such as Karen Fowler, there's one quality that can stop a character in its tracks: “boredom”. “I had particular problems with the main character in my historical novel Sister Noon." she says.” She had attitudes about race and religion that seemed appropriate to me for her time and class, but they were not attitudes I liked. Eventually I grew quite bored with her. You can write a book about a character you dislike or a character you disagree with, but I don't think you can write a book about a character who bores you.”
According to Neel Mukherjee, it was Adinath, a character in The Lives of Others, who made him work the hardest. “I think I struggled because it's difficult to write a character whose most prominent personal feature is weakness, as Adinath's is, without making that feature define him,” Mukherjee says. But a troublesome character is far from an unwelcome guest, he continues, arguing that “when characters work against the author they come alive and become unpredictable.”
“That is a fantastic thing to happen, ”Mukherjee says, “I celebrate it. It is one of the great, lucky gifts given to a writer.”
【1】What can we infer about Steven King's book Carrie?
A．It was his most difficult book to write.
B．It was the first successful novel King wrote.
C．There were few children featured in the story.
D．Some of its main characters were working class.
【2】Why did Karen Fowler have trouble writing the main character in her novel Sister Noon?
A．She disagreed with the character's attitudes.
B．The age difference between the two was too large.
C．She found the character very uninteresting.
D．The historical setting made accuracy difficult.
【3】Neel Mukherjee believes that his difficult-to-write characters ________.
A．are a sign that the story is not realistic
B．are often the most interesting
C．should be praised by all authors
D．need to be researched more thoroughly
【4】The authors who were interviewed for the passage are probably ________.
A．famous and successful
B．unknown to the readers
C．all from the same country
D．just starting their writing careers
【5】Which of the following statements is right?
A．Karen Fowler becomes bored with her characters because she disagrees with their class and time.
B．Mukherjee considers a troublesome character as an unwelcomed guest because their weakness.
C．Working class characters are more difficult to write than figures from other background.
D．Characters are easier to depict if you have models in your real life.
28、 Twelve years ago, I arrived in Central Florida from Puerto Rico. I had heard of a job opportunity and decided to pursue it. But it never became a reality. I quickly learned that being alone without resources in an unfamiliar city was not a comfortable situation to be in.
Once my limited funds ran out I became homeless and spent a year and a half living on the streets of Orlando. Apart from feeling not being noticed and missing my family, I had to face another challenge — hunger.
For the first time in my life, I, as a foreign man, who had lived my life in the relative comfort of the middle class, understood the desperation someone feels when they don’t get enough to eat. I clearly remembered having run a distance of more than 7 miles on many occasions just to make it to a local feeding program before they closed at 7 pm.
Once the need for food was met, the next challenge would arise — where to find a place to sleep for the night. Fortunately, local programs like the Coalition for the Homeless, Second Harvest Food Bank and the Wayne Densch Center were an important part of my ability to survive my painful experience.
With the assistance of these programs, I was accepted by a college scholarship program through the Coalition and obtained two degrees from Valencia.
My experience has helped me understand that devoting my life to helping others offers lasting rewards. Today, I am employed as Childhood Hunger Programs Manager at Second Harvest Food Bank and oversee the summer feeding, Hi-Five Kids Pack, and Kids Café programs. I am so proud to be able to distribute food resources to those wonderful programs and help hundreds more like me.

29、 To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor; you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear.
Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit still before his class: he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings. Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about.
The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn’t mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher’s work and the actor’s. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage.
A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play: they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don’t understand something, they say so. The teacher therefore has to meet the needs of his audience, which is his class. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.
I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but were unable to take part in a stage-play because they could not keep strictly to what another had written.
【1】What is the text about ?
A.How to become a good teacher.
B.What a good teacher should do outside the classroom.
C.What teachers and actors could learn from each other.
D.The similarities and differences between a teacher’s work and an actor’s.
【2】A good teacher ____ .
A.knows how to hold the interest of his students B.must have a good voice
C.knows how to act on the stage D.stands or sits still while teaching
【3】In what way is a teacher’s work different from an actor’s ?
A.The teacher must learn everything by heart .
B.He knows how to control his voice better than an actor .
C.He has to deal with unexpected situations .
D.He has to use more facial expressions .
【4】The main difference between students in class and a theatre audience is that ____.
A.students can move around in the classroom
B.students must keep silent while theatre audience needn’t
C.no memory work is needed for the students
D.the students must take part in their teachers’ plays
【5】Which of the following is true?
A.Teachers have to learn by heart what they are going to stay in class.
B.A teacher cannot decide beforehand what exactly he is going to stay in class.
C.A teacher must speak louder than an actor.
D.A teacher must have a better memory than an actor.
30、Are small cities the smartest?
When you _________ of urban transformations (转变), you _________ to think of high-rise mega-cities like Shanghai, Dubai or Hong Kong. Or if it's technological advances, San Francisco and Silicon Valley might come to ___________.
But, the cities at the forefront (处于前列) of this growing urban revolution are often the _______.
Take Kalasatama, a city being built from scratch on the outskirts (市郊) of Helsinki, Finland. Developers say that by its _________ in 2030, residents will get an average hour of their day back by living there.
Finland's smart city Kalasatama is custom-built to make daily life more _________. City residents will never again be _________ behind a rubbish lorry on their commute. Engineers have equipped the whole city with a vacuum waste system, where people _______ take their trash to a port and it gets sucked (抽吸) to an underground disposal (处理) center. Another time-saving design is the city layout (布局) itself. Public services, such as schools, hospitals and transportation are close to one another and easily _________.
“ Five more minutes walking in the park, five more minutes with the kids before I have to __________work, five more minutes earlier at home,” Kerkko Vanhanen, the program director for Smart Kalasatama, tells CNN. "Your life is easier because of living in the most ________ city in the world,” he adds.
However, only 3, 500 people currently live in Kalasatama. By 2030, developers hope to have ________ 25,000 people and created 10,000 jobs.
Cities don't have to be custom-built to be able to unlock this potential. The ancient cliffside city of Matera in southern Italy is working to become one of the first 5G-enabled ________ in Europe.
It believes 5G can help it become a center of ________ tourism, using technology such as Virtual Reality to display the cultural and artistic heritage of the city that was named European Capital of Culture in 2019.
High-tech conveniences __________ sharing personal data.
“Data about you is used for delivering all sorts of both public and private services. And people are ________ about what that means to their __________,” says Reichental.
As smart cities develop, governments need to __________the trust of citizens to use their private data __________, says Udo Kock, deputy mayor of Amsterdam, where an open data program is helping to make it one of Europe's most innovative environments.
“Don’t think of Smart Cities as just a technology solution. think of it as cooperation. ____________communities and citizens so it's very important for governments to work together with businesses and private citizens, "says Kock.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Scientists have proved what students have long suspected: Maths equations can actually trigger physical pain.
Regions of the brain linked with the experience of physical 【1】 were activated in those fearful of maths when they were presented with a tough equation, researchers have found. The higher a person’s anxiety of a maths task, the more it 【2】 activity in regions of their brain associated with visceral (内脏的) threat detection, and often the experience of pain itself.
However, the researchers say their study examines the pain response associated with anticipating an anxiety-provoking event, rather than the pain associated with a 【3】 event itself. A maths task itself is not painful but 【4】 the thought of it is highly unpleasant to certain people.
“Maths can be difficult, and for those with high levels of mathematics-anxiety (HMAs), math is associated with tension, apprehension (忧虑) and fear,” the researchers said in their paper titled. When Math Hurts. “【5】, this relation was not seen during math performance, 【6】 that it is not that math itself hurts, rather, the anticipation of math is painful. These results may also provide a potential neural mechanism to explain why (people with) HMAs tend to 【7】 math and math-related situations, which in turn can bias (使有偏见) (those with) high levels of mathematics-anxiety away from taking math classes or even entire math-related 【8】 paths. We provide the first neural 【9】 indicating the nature of the subjective experience of math-anxiety.
Other forms of psychological stress, such as social 【10】 or a traumatic break-up, can also elicit feeling of physical pain.”
