At 17, she is president and founder of her school’s UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund) USA club, and a member of UNICEF’s national council (委员会). She also volunteers her time in different communities.How did Anjali develop such a passion (热情) for helping others? When she was a freshman, she had an experience that greatly changed her attitude. She was invited to a cousin’s wedding (婚礼) in India.“My humanity forced me to go,” Anjali says. “When I saw children on the street, I realized how lucky I was as a child. I was able to get whatever I wanted, and my every need was satisfied.”Anjali asked herself: “What can I do to help? UNICEF stood out to me because it’s always on the front lines helping children in need.”After starting a UNICEF club at her school, Anjali noticed that the community responded (响应) actively. She took things a step further by applying to UNICEF’s national council.“UNICEF really liked my work.” she says. “Out of 3,000 applicants, they chose 6 high school students to be on the national council, and I was one of them.”As a member of the council, Anjali helps organize high school UNICEF clubs around the country and provide resources so that the clubs can manage themselves.The teen also founded an organization called “Activists United.” Members educate people on the dangers of guns.

How will you educate him? What role will he play in the world?According to Darwin’s theory of evolution of the species, we are a competitive species and one survives by adapting itself biologically to various environments through various ways. Competition was a resource useful for the progress of society and for the survival of human beings.Today, however, the challenges are different. The 21st century is a computer science age, but there are environmental imbalances, deaths of thousands of children every day by starvation and countless epidemics (流行病). Therefore, it is important that the philosophy of preparing our children for competition and power be replaced by one of preparing them for love and cooperation (合作).The earth is a unique (独一无二的) home to us all. The ecological balance has to be pursued (追求) and this pursuit shows the internal balance of each living being. We must educate our children so that they want to protect nature and thus to protect the opportunity to make themselves more powerful and able in society. Our children have to learn that we don’t need to practice actions that benefit only our homeland while all other countries are destroyed. The destruction of other countries and lives leads to the impossibility of the future existence of the place we call home.It imbalances the ecosystem and shades the hope of a better future. We would not show hate to a flower, grabbing it and throwing it to the floor and stepping on it. It would be foolish! But we are insensitive to the sight of a homeless person thrown to the ground and pretend it's not our problem! Competition has led us to a state of total insensibility! Therefore, we must teach our children that the main necessity of men is love. Love is being good to ourselves, others and nature.( )8. According to Paragraph 2，competition is ________.A. interestingB. beneficialC. unnecessaryD. ineffective( )9. Why should we prepare children for cooperation in the 21st century?A. We are faced with new challenges.B. Many diseases are threatening people.C. They will live in a more competitive society.D. Environmental imbalance has caused many deaths.( )10. What is the benefit of keeping an ecological balance?A. It will help keep our internal balance.B. Our kids will have more chances to succeed.C. It will help make our future existence possible.D. Our kids will have a better natural environment.( )11. What is the purpose of this text?A. To suggest an education of love and cooperation.B. To explain the role competition plays in education.C. To introduce ways of helping children overcome fears.D. To explain why competition and cooperation should coexist.DNatasha, 19, is a sophomore (二年级学生) at Baylor University in Texas. She was born in Africa but came to the US when she was 3 years old.Natasha was on her way to science class one day this past November. A male student suddenly knocked her off the sidewalk.

Another male student was nearby. “Boy, that’s not cool,” he said to the first student. The first student made another rude comment. Then the two guys walked away.Natasha had never experienced such racism at Baylor before. She wanted to let other people know what had happened.

And they were united in their anger about what had happened to her. They were there to make it clear that racism is never OK.The crowd cheered when Natasha appeared. She fought back tears. The students linked arms and walked across campus (校园) together.Outside her classroom, Natasha spoke to the crowd.“You have no idea how much this means to me,” she said. She praised the second male student—the one who had stood up for her. Then she spoke about the student who had shoved (推) her and said such hateful things. “To the gentleman who said those words,” Natasha said, “I’m praying for you, and I love you. We just want to see the world become a better place.”( )12. Why did the first male student knock Natasha off the sidewalk?A. Because of her color.B. Because of his carelessness.C.

Grateful.D. Confused.( )15. How does the text mainly develop?A. By providing examples.B. By making comparisons.C. By following the order of time.D.

Clemens, also known as Mark Twain, started off his writing career(事业) in 1865 with his big hit story The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Cala v eras County—a storywithinastory toldto a listener by an old California miner. From that day on, the works of the great humorist always had different animals.②Some members of Twain’s literary(文学的) animals were based on real animals, such as the Clemens family’s named pet cats. Some were imaginary, like that celebrated jumping frog.③As a boy in Missouri, he got pleasure from knowing the animals of the woods; in old age, he felt a deep relationship with the animals large and small that he met in his travels. His cats, family dog, horses, donkeys, and calf also won his three daughters’ love at their Hartford home. On March 22，2018, to mark this part of Twain’s personal life, The Mark Twain House & Museum opened a new exhibition(展览), Tails of Twain: How Animals Shaped the Man & His Work. The exhibition was rich with exhibits from the museum’s collections.④The king of the animals in Twain’s world was the cat，“the only creature in heaven or earth or anywhere that don’t have to obey(听从) somebody or other, including the angels”. He was known to be the proud pet parent of 19 cats during his childhood. As an adult, the Clemens home always had a named cat. Even on vacation, the Clemens family borrowed cats from locals to live with them. Dogs were considered secondclass pets, but Twain liked them. Twain once wrote an ode(颂诗) to his dead dog Burns：“She liveda quiet harmless life in Hartford...”⑤In true Twainism, humans were not as loved as the “Higher Animals”. Even the most lowdown animal, however, was superior in Twain’s eyes to “the human race”. After all, he did write once “Of all the animals, man is the only one that is cruel.”【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

Lisa, 25, had a lot to do at work, plus visitors on the way: her parents were coming in for Thanksgiving from her hometown. But as she hurried down the subway stairs, she started to feel uncomfortably warm. By the time she got to the platform, Lisa felt weak and tired—maybe it hadn’t been a good idea to give blood the night before, she thought. She rested herself against a post close to the tracks.Several yards away, Frank, 43, and his girlfriend, Jennifer, found a spot close to where the front of the train would stop. They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying.But when he heard the scream, followed by someone yelling, “Oh, my God, she fe ll in! ” Frank didn’t hesitate. He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on the rails. “No! Not you! ”his girlfriend screamed after him.She was right to be alarmed. By the time Frank reached Lisa, he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming. The train was about 20 seconds from the station.It was hard to lift her. She was just out. But he managed to raise her the four feet to the platform so that bystanders could hold her by the arms and drag her away from the edge. That was where Lisa briefly regained consciousness, felt herself being pulled along the ground, and saw someone else holding her purse.Lisa thought she’d been robbed. A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stop the blood pouring from her head. And she tried to talk but she couldn’t, and that was when she realized how much pain she was in.Police and fire officials soon arrived, and Frank told the story to an officer. Jennifer said her boyfriend was calm on their 40-minute train ride downtown—just ashe had been seconds after the rescue, which made her think about her reaction at the time. “I saw the train coming and I was thinking he was going to die, ” she explained. 【语篇概述】本文主要讲述一个男士在地铁救一个晕倒的女人的故事。

On one of my trips to India, I saw children drinking water from the roadside. I was troubled to learn that millions of people, most of them children in developing countries, die each year because of water-related diseases.Living in the US, I am lucky to be able to turn on the tap and get potable water(饮用水), while one sixth of the world's population lacks access to clean water. This year, I entered the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge. In late June, I learnt that I was selected as one of the top 10 national finalists of this famous middle school science competition. Over the summer, I worked with Dr Jim Jonza, my scientist mentor(导师) from 3M, and developed a system that uses solar energy to purify water. My invention is green and cost-effective, and I am looking forward to implementing this in places that are affected by harmful water pollution.In October, my family and I flew to 3M Headquarters in St Paul, Minnesota, where the final event was to be held. For the last challenge, each of us had to present the invention we had been working on over the summer. The first place winner would win $25,000, a trip to Costa Rica, and the title of America's Top Young Scientist. At the awards ceremony, all of us waited anxiously until one of the judges, Danny Forester, started announcing, "The winner of the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challengeis …" You could hear a pin (大头针) drop as he opened the paper with the winner's name, "Deepika Kurup!"As America's Top Young Scientist, I was given an opportunity to show my invention on national television and deliver several presentations. One of the most important things I have learnt is that communication and teamwork are key to success.1.Why does the author mention her visits to India?A.To express her great love for India.B.To show the problem of unclean water.C.To explain the importance of relatives.D.To compare Eastern and Western cultures.2.Which of the following can replace the underlined word "implementing" in Paragraph 2?A.Researching.B.Changing.C.Finishing.ing.3.How did the audience react as Forester opened the paper with the winner's name?A.They appeared calm.B.They let out shouts of joy.C.They sat quietly.D.They dropped pins to the author.4.How is the text mainly organised?A.In order of time.B.In order of complexity (复杂性).C.In order of place.D.In order of importance.二、七选五2、阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

I loved to play basketball but was afraid to go to tryout(选拔) for the school team because I didn't know anyone. One day all that changed when I missed the bus home and decided to shoot baskets on the school playground to kill time. The coach Mr Colbath had been watching me make various baskets and was pretty impressed with my moves.He came up to me and asked me who had taught me to play like that I told him that my dad had taught me how to play basketball. He asked me if he would see me at the tryout on Friday, but I said no and told him why. He told me to have a try because I played very well and would maybe make some friends on the court. After thinking for a few minutes, I finally decided to have a try.On the day of the tryout, the coach came, found me and helped me practise before the tryout. He helped me a lot and I did very well at the tryout and many members of the team were quite impressed. I did make the team and over the next few years the coach helped me both on and off the court. He helped me do my math which I had such a difficult time with and he even taught me how to live independently.I will never forget Mr Colbath. He really inspired me and changed my life. I would not be the person that I am today if he had not taken such an interest in me when I was in high school.1.Why did the writer shoot baskets on the school playground?A.Because he was preparing for the tryout for the school team.B.Because he wanted to show off his moves to the coach.C.Because he missed the bus and had nothing to do.D.Because he wanted to make new friends while playing.2.What is the most probable reason for which the writer wouldn't go to the tryout?A.He should study very hard.B.He didn't think he played well.C.He knew no one in the school.D.His class teacher told him not to.3.What does the underlined phrase "make the team" mean in Paragraph 3?A.Join the team.B.Leave the team.anize the team.D.Lead the team.4.What does the writer mainly talk about in this passage?A.His tryout at school.B.His present life.C.His basketball coach.D.His high school life.CIn one of the old buildings near our school, one could see an old man sitting by a large window on the first floor. His name was James. During the three years at school, I had hardly ever found him missing from his usual position.He was a high-ranking government official and lived happily with his wife. Once there was a bus accident, in which a number of passengers were seriously injured and were taken to the hospital for treatment. James was responsible for the rescue operation. It was a big hospital, but James was shocked tonotice how ill-equipped it was. There were no enough life-saving drugs and life-supporting equipment. The injured and their companions had to struggle there. James attempted to help. However, though he emptied his pockets, many of them died that day.That was a turning point in his life. He made a decision to devote his life to helping others, particularly the poor and needy patients and their companions. He began spending much of his income on these people. Since this required a lot of time and energy, he found it difficult to fulfill his official duties and therefore chose to retire, which, in turn, reduced his income considerably.His wife was deeply worried. Most of the time, James was out and paid least attention to home affairs. Meanwhile, as he was spending a lot helping others, she had to struggle even to meet the household expenses. Though she was not opposed to his helping the poor, she urged him not to overlook his own life and home, but it had no effect on him. One day they had a heated argument and in the end she left him, never to return. Though he continued with his work, this was a great blow and did serious harm to his health and enthusiasm and he was soon forced to stay indoors. That was when he took his position by the window, spending his time looking outside.A few weeks after my graduation, I returned to school, only to find the buildings gone. I heard that they were torn down. All the people left except James. He refused to go and the next morning, he was found at his usual place by the window, dead.1.What changed James' view towards life?A.The difficulties in his career.B.The deaths in the bus accident.C.The bad conditions in the hospital.D.The responsibilities in the operation.2.James chose to retire in order to _________.A.take care of the injured passengersB.find a better job to increase his incomeC.spare more time and energy to help othersD.stay away from the difficult official duties3.James' wife left because ________.A.she was strongly against his deedsB.James paid too little attention to his workC.her work to support their daily life was too tiringD. James failed to keep a balance between charity and home4.The underlined word "this" in Paragraph 4 refers to ________.A.his decision to retireB.the departure of his wifeC.the argument with his wifeD.his devotion to helping othersDBorn in a fishing village in Japan, Fujiyama, 25, recalls a childhood controlled by health concerns. Debtors told his parents that he had a hole in his heart and "they didn't think I had a lot longer to live". But during a later visit to the doctor, his family learned the hole had closed. "Somehow I was cured and I became a normal kid," Fujiyama says. "And I had a second chance."During his second year at the University of Mary Washington, he volunteered in Honduras with a campus group and was struck by the extreme poverty he saw—barefoot children collecting cans andsleeping in the streets. Fujiyama realised he could help give other children their own second chance.Today, his organisation, Students Helping Honduras, brings education and community projects to children and families in need.He started by telling his friends about his experience and collecting spare change at his two campus jobs. "When I had my very first meeting, only two people showed up," he says. "I knew I had to keep fighting." He persuaded his younger sister, Cosmo, to join the cause. "She's dynamite," he says. "When she talks in front of a crowd, she can move mountains. Knowing that she was behind it, I knew I could do anything." Since 2006, the siblings' organisation has grown to 25 campuses and raised more than $ 750,000 to fund projects, including the construction of two schools and the establishment of scholarships to help young women attend college.Fujiyama says students are deeply committed to the organisation. They raise money and then travel to Honduras to help building houses. While Fujiyama spends his summers in Honduras working alongside volunteers, he spends a large portion of the year on the road visiting colleges to raise funds. Cosmo Fujiyama, 23, lives in Honduras full time to coordinate(协调) the group's building efforts on the ground.Students Helping Honduras is working with community members of Siete de Abril to build a new village. Many of the families lost their belongings in Hurricane Mitch in 1998. A lot of them didn't have access to clean water or health care, and they didn't have a school. Fujiyama's group helped build 44 homes in the village named "Sunshine Village". The organisation is also raising funds to build a water tower, an eco-friendly sanitation system and a library.1.At the beginning of his organisation, ________.A.Fujiyama was supported by many friendsB.Fujiyama had little idea of HondurasC.things didn't go on smoothlyD.many famous people joined in2.We can infer that Fujiyama is a __________ man.A.diligentB.meanC.cheerfulD.sympathetic3.The underlined word "siblings" can be replaced by ________.A.brother and sister'sB.brothers'C.friends'D.couple's4.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Help the People in NeedB.Students Lend a Hand in AmericaC.Fujiyama Helps Build "Sunshine Village"D.Fujiyama Gives Poor People in Honduras a Second Chance第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分）阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

She also volunteers her time in different communities.How did Anjali develop such a passion(热情) for helping others? When she was a freshman，she had an experience that greatly changed her attitude.She was invited to a cousin's wedding (婚礼) in India.“My humanity forced me to go，” Anjali says.“When I saw children on the street, I realized how lucky I was as a child.I was able to get whatever I wanted，and my every need was satisfied.”Anjali asked herself：“What can I do to help？UNICEF stood out to me because it's always on the front lines helping children in need.”After starting a UNICEF club at her school，Anjali noticed that the community responded (响应) actively.She took things a step further by applying to UNICEF's national council.“UNICEF really liked my work，” she says.“Out of 3，000 applicants，they chose 6 high school students to be on the national council, and I was one of them．”As a member of the council, Anjali helps organize high school UNICEF clubs around the country and provide resources so that the clubs can manage themselves.The teen also founded an organization called “Activists United.” Members educate people on the dangers of guns.Anjali encourages other kids to start local clubs and organizations，too.“It takes a lot of effort, but you can get it done if you're passionate，” she says.24．Why did Anjali go to India?A．To be a volunteer.B．To see her mother.C．To spend a holiday.D．To attend a wedding.25．What has led Anjali to set up the UNICEF USA club?A．Her mother's suggestion.B．Her volunteer experience.C．The situation faced by poor children.D．The encouragement from her cousin.26．What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 6 refer to?A．3，000 applicants.B．UNICEF officers.C．6 high school students.D．Founders of UNICEF's national council.27．What does the organization “Activists United” do?A．It educates people on gun safety.B．It raises money for children in need.C．It helps kids start local organizations.D．It provides support for UNICEF clubs.CGuy Raz is the king of podcasts (播客). The 44-year-old NPR (National PublicRadio) hosts three of Apple's top-20 podcasts, including Wo w in the World, NPR's first podcast for kids.Raz，who is known for his light-blue eyeglasses, has entertained (使欢乐) many families across thousands of miles of road trips. The best thing about him is that he can make any topic feel like just the thing you've always wanted to know about.Podcasts are whenever and wherever radio, Raz explained. You can listen to them whenever you want, wherever you want—in a plane, a car, or at the kitchen table.Wo w in the World is the brainchild of Raz and his co-host，Mindy Thomas. The show “takes” kids through time and space, reporting science news with surprising sound effects (效果)，and funny words like “exactdoritos” and “bonkerballs”．When asked why the show was created，Raz said，“Mindy has two kids, and I have two kids. Both of us were really worried about how much screen time our children not only had, but wanted. We don't want kids to pay too much attention to the screen. So the idea was, ‘Let's create something that is so good, and it competes with a video.’ What happened was beyond (超出) our expectations.”Raz noted that podcasts fire the imagination in a way that screens don't. “Every single person experiences podcasts differently，”he said. “When you watch a cartoon, for example, the pictures are given to you. Your brain doesn't have to work. When you're listening to podcasts like Wow in the World, your mind is your television screen. It fires up all kinds of connections in your brain.”Raz also hosts Ho w I Built This and The TED Radio Hour, two wildly successful podcasts for older listeners. Raz said, “There's a wow factor (要素) in every single person. What I try to do is to find exciting wow moments in the world and make us think.”28．What can we learn about Wo w in the World?A．It is NPR's first podcast.B．It was created 44 years ago.C．It mainly tells science stories.D．It is designed for school children.29．What is one reason why Raz and Mindy created Wo w in the World?A．They have always been interested in podcasting.B．They wanted to satisfy the needs of their children.C．They wanted to make news more attractive to kids.D．They hoped to make kids spend less time on screens.30．What did Raz want to show by saying the words in paragraph 6?A．Podcasts are more enjoyable than screens.B．Watching cartoons is harmful to children's brains.C．People have different understanding of Wo w in the World.D．Podcasts excite children's imagination more easily than screens.31．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Wo w in the WorldB．Finding “Wow” in the WorldC．Guy Raz, a Well-Known HostD．Podcasts—Whenever and WhereverDWhen you set a foot outside of your door to drop trash, go to a social event or go for a walk, th oughts like “I hope I don't see anyone I know” or “please don't talk to me” may run through your mind. I've also said such things to myself. Sometimes, the last thing you want to do is talk with someone, especially someone new.Why do we go out of our ways to avoid people? Do we think meeting new people is a waste of time? Or are we just lazy, thinking that meeting someone new really is a trouble?Communication is the key to life. We have been told that many times. Take the past generations, like our parents, for example. They seem to take full advantage of that whole “communication” idea because they grew up talking face to face while Generation-Y grew up staring at screens. We spend hours of our days sitting on Facebook. We send messages to our friends and think about all of the things we want to say to certain people that we don't have the courage to actually do in reality.Nowadays, we are so caught up in our little circle of friends—our comfort zone. We love it that they laugh at our jokes, understand our feelings and can read our minds. Most importantly, they know when we want to be alone. They just get us.Holding a conversation with someone new means agreeing with things that you don't actually believe and being someone you think they want you to be—it is, as I saidbefore, a trouble. It takes up so much energy, and at some point or another, it is too tiring.But meeting new people is important. Life is too short, so meet all the people you can meet, make the effort to go out and laugh. Remember, every “hello” leads to a smile—and smile is worth a lot.32．What do we learn about the author?A．He likes to be alone.B．He feels stressed out lately.C．He's active in attending social events.D．He's afraid of talking to others at times.33．What's the problem of Generation-Y in the author's eyes?A．They rely on the Internet to socialize.B．They are less confident in themselves.C．They have difficulty in communicating.D．They are unwilling to make new friends.34．Why do many young people avoid meeting new people?A．They think it troublesome.B．They are busy with their study.C．They fear to disappoint their old friends.D．They want to take time to do meaningful work.35．Why does the author write the text?A．To tell about the importance of friends.B．To give tips on how to meet new people.C．To encourage people to meet new people.D．To introduce the disadvantages of Generation-Y.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面的短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Clemens, also known as Mark Twain, started off his writing career(事业) in 1865 with his big hit story The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Cala v eras County—a storywithinastory told to a listener by an old California miner. From that day on, the works of the great humorist always had different animals.Some members of Twain’s literary(文学的) animals were based on real animals, such as the Clemens family’s named pet cats. Some were imaginary, like that celebrated jumping frog.As a boy in Missouri, he got pleasure from knowing the animals of the woods; in old age, he felt a deep relationshipwith the animals large and small that he met in his travels. His cats, family dog, horses, donkeys, and calf also won his three daughters’ love at their Hartford home. On March 22，2018, to mark this part of Twain’s personal life, The Mark Twain House & Museum opened a new exhibition(展览), Tails of Twain: How Animals Shaped the Man & His Work. The exhibition was ri ch with exhibits from the museum’s collections.The king of the animals in Twain’s world was the cat，“the only creature in heaven or earth or anywhere that don’t have to obey(听从) somebody or other, including the angels”. He was known to be the proud pet parent of 19 cats during his childhood. As an adult, the Clemens home always had a named cat. Even on vacation, the Clemens family borrowed cats from locals to live with them. Dogs were considered secondclass pets, but Twain liked them. Twain once wrote an ode(颂诗) to his dead dog Burns：“She lived a quiet harmless life in Hartford...”In true Twainism, humans were not as loved as the “Higher Animals”. Even the most lowdown animal, however, was superior in Twain’s eyes to “the human race”. After all, he did write once “Of all the animals, man is the only one that is cruel.”21．What can we learn about The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Cala v eras County?A．It tells a story of Twain’s family pet.B．It was written for Twain’s three daughters.C．It made Twain pay attention to animals.D．It was Twain’s first great success as a writer.22．What’s the main purpose of the new exhibition?A．To introduce how Twain spent his childhood.B．To exhibit some of Twain’s bestsellers.C．To show Twain’s different hobbies.D．To show Twain’s love for animals.23．What was Twain’s favorite animal?A．The dog.
