3.Most people say that they do not usually feel confident.But exciting things can happen when we actually believe in ourselves.Here is a man who believed in his own ability even as a boy,and that confidence helped shape his adult life.
At the turn of the last century,a young boy quit school to help with the family expenses.When he was fifteen,he became interested in automobiles(汽车) and worked in a garage.He subscribed to a correspondence course on automobiles and,after a long day in the garage,studied at the kitchen table in the lamplight.
When he felt ready,he walked into the Frayer-Miller Automobile Company of Columbus,Ohio.When Mr.Frayer noticed him,he asked,"Well,what do you want?"
"I just thought I'd tell you I'm coming to work here tomorrow morning,"the boy replied.
"Oh!Who hired you?"
"Nobody yet,but I'll be on the job in the morning.If I'm not worth aything,you can fire me."
Early the next morning the boy returned to the plant.Noticing the floor was thick with metal shavings and accumulated dirt,the boy got a broom and set out o clean the place.
Because of his self-confidence and work ethic,the boy's future was predictable.He went on to stand out in many fields,including automobile racing,piloting World War I planes and founding one of America's largest airline companies----Eastern Airlines.
People who become more confident habitually encourage themselves.Without confidence,we are not likely to move far in the direction of our dreams.It is important that we always believe in ourselves.In order to reach victory,we must believe in ourselves even when we make mistakes

25.How did the boy learn knowledge concerning automobiles?B
A.He attended school in the daytime.
B.He studied hard at home.
C.He read books in the garage where he worked.

B.he looked down upon others

A.made World War I planes
B.learned much knowledge in a garage

14.人们对待机遇有不同的态度,请以"Opportunities favour the prepared mind"为题,按要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章,要点如下:
对待机遇的态度结果你的观点
梦想着成功,却迟迟没有行动,等着天上掉馅饼只能看着机遇从身边悄悄溜走(请举例说明)
默默努力着,为机遇的到来做好充分准备最终迎来成功的喜悦
注意:
1.可参照以上内容适当发挥;
2.文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称.
Opportunities favour the prepared mind
There are two kinds of people taking completely different attitudes to building a bright future.One is dreaming of opportunities for a promising future,but without any action,while the other devotes himself earnestly to his work to get fully prepared.
The message conveyed above is crystal clear:Opportunities favour the prepared mind.The difference between the two lies only in the way each treats opportunities.Successful people always make adequate preparations to seize opportunities.Unsuccessful people,on the other hand,work little and just wait,seeing them pass by.
To further highlight the importance of our attitude towards opportunities,let's take the Chinese diver Wu Minxia for example.In order to win the gold medal in the Olympics,she trained hard day after day and eventually made it.Therefore,we should make efforts to make our dreams come true.It's universally acknowledged that we would accomplish nothing without actions and efforts.(152).

18.When we were kids,my little sister Madison and I were the M&Ms-my parents'two daughters.(36)CSo it was quite a surprise when my mom and dad sat us down to let us know that baby number three was on the way when I was 10years old.However,as soon as my brother Mac was born,he completely stole my heart and I have learned many things from having a young brother.
●(37)B
Having a baby in your life means watching your parents endlessly change diapers (尿布),make bottles,and wipe spit-ups every once in a while.I was allowed to do those things and I learned just how important it was to take care of this little life before I even hit middle school.
●You watch a child grow up.
(38)EI remember how excited my family was when we discovered how fast of a reader he was in kindergarten.I'll never forget telling him bedtime stories before he went to sleep at night.It's cool to think about the entirety of his life and how far he has come.
●You teach your brother life lessons.
From a young age,my brother watched my sister and me overcome personal challenges,go to high school,and,worst of all,get our hearts broken.(39)GWatching his sisters go through life's difficulties has taught him how he should act when he gets older.
Now Mac is 11years old.I have no shame in telling people that one of my best friends is an 11-year-old boy.In fact,our family without him is unimaginable.(40)F

A.You stay in the know.
B.You learn about responsibility early on.
C.We received a lot of attention,and we liked it that way.
D.All I can say is that my family wouldn't be happy without Mac.
E.I remember the first time Mac crawled,walked,and said my name.
F.Thanks,Morn and Dad,for turning the M&Ms into the Three Musketeers.
G.Nothing makes Mac more upset than a mean guy who hurts a girl's feelings.

8.Recently I and other Red Cross volunteers met a group of victims from Hurricane Katrina.We were there,as mental health professionals,to offer"psychological(心理的) first aid"and I was struck by the simple healing power of presence.As we walked in the gate to the shelter,we were greeted with a burst of gratitude from the first person we met.I felt appreciated,but also guilty,because I hadn't really done anything yet.
I first realized the power of presence many years ago when a friend's mother passed away unexpectedly.I had received a call saying she had just passed away.I wanted to rush down there immediately,but didn't want to disturb this very personal period of sadness.I was torn about what to do.Another friend with me then said,"Just go.Just be there."I did,and I will never regret it.
Since then,I have not hesitated to be in the presence of others.Once I sat at the bedside of a young man suffering from the pain of his AIDS-related dying.He was not awake,and obviously unaware of others'presence.However,the atmosphere was by no means solemn.His family,playing guitars and singing,allowed him to be present with them as though he were still fully alive.
In my life,I am repeatedly struck by the healing power of presence.In it,none of us are truly alone.It is not only something we give to others but also changes me for the better.

B.He went to his friends'at once.
C.He knew what to do instantly.
D.He hesitated over whether to go.
27.What does the underlined word"solemn"in Paragraph 3 probably mean?D
A.Heavy but warm.
B.A little sad but comfortable.
C.Relaxing and delightful.

15.Food waste is a growing problem both in America and across the globe.In North America alone about 30-40% of food ends up as rubbish each year.While much ends up as rubbish,over 48 million Americans live in households that do not have enough food!Now,concerned citizens are trying to raise awareness of the issue with some creative ideas.
In New York's Westchester County,students at 18schools join in a program called We Future Cycle.Started by Anna and Ashley in 2014,it teaches kids to recycle,compost(堆肥),and most importantly control food waste in an easy and efficient manner.
Lunch areas at those schools are equipped with three clearly marked bins-compost,recycle and share.While the first two are common in schools,the third is rare.This is the bin where kids can put their unwanted drinks,fruits,and even untouched sandwiches.Food there is available for any student that wants them.Whatever remains at the end of the day is given to the local soup kitchen or food bank.Anna says the three bins have helped reduce the number of trash bags produced at the mid-day meal from an average of 22to just 2!
To ensure kids form similar habits at home,the non-profit has created plans to educate families about the importance of sorting waste into the proper streams of recycling,composting,and food to donate.They also urge parents to have open conversations with their kids about food choices.
Kids are not the only ones that waste food.Adults are equally bad,if not worse!To fight that,Brooklyn-based Josh founded Salvage Super Club in 2014.The randomly organized dinners promise customers a multi-course meal for merely 50dollars per person.The delicious food is made from perfectly safe ingredients(成分)that are past their prime and,therefore,headed for the compost or trash bin.

27.The underlined word"awareness"in Paragraph 1probably means?A
A.understanding
B.hope
C.doubt
D.value
28.What do students at Westchester County do to save food?B
A.Use dustbins instead of plastic bags for left-over food.
B.Put their unwanted food in the bins and learn to share.
C.Get the children to educate their parents at home.
D.Only get single-course food for 50dollars when eating out.
29.What can we infer from Paragraph 5?C
A.Parents are to blame for the children's bad habits.
B.Parents do not encourage children to save food.
C.Parents are as wasteful as children about food.
D.Parents have set an example for the children.
30.Which of the following will the passage be likely to continue with?D
A.More information about food bank.
B.How to improve food production.
C.The importance of saving food.
D.Other creative ways to save food.

13.HandEnergy is an apple-sized device (设备) that charges your phone anytime,anywhere.But what really makes this thing special is the fact that it uses your own personal energy to do it.
In a time where power-banks (充电宝) and solar-power devices have become mainstream,a device that lets you charge doesn't sound very special.But while power-banks have to be charged the old fashioned way,and solar-power devices need the sun to store energy,HandEnergy just needs a hand.To get this little guy to produce energy,which it then stores in built-in batteries,all you have to do is hold it in your hand and rotate (旋转) your wrists.
To use HandEnergy,users start by winding a starter ring.This sends a signal to activate the rotor (旋转器),at which point they can start rotating their wrists to keep the rotor spinning.It might sound hard to believe,but the rotor inside HandEnergy spins at an average speed of 5,000 rotations per minute,changing mechanical power into an electric current,and charging the built-in batteries.To charge a device,all you have to do is connect it to HandEnergy using a USB cable.
HandEnergy was successfully crowdfunded on Kickstarter,raising over﹩71,000 m one month,and will be available for the masses in May 2018,at a price of﹩99.One thing is for sure-it beats paying thousands of dollars on a solar-powered charging device.

28.What is HandEnergy used for?B
A.Controling an Apple phone.
B.Providing power.
C.Burning personal energy.
D.Amusing a child.
29.How does HandEnergy produce energy?B
A.By exposing it to the sun.
B.By keeping its rotor spinning.
C.By connecting the power source.
D.By opening and closing your hand.
30.Which of the following is the right order?C
①Users wind a starter ring.②The battery is charged.
③The rotor spins.④Users rotate their wrists.
A.①②③④B.③①②④C.①④③②D.③④①②
31.What can be inferred about HandEnergy from the last paragraph?D
A.It is sort of expensive.
B.It has come into market.
C.It is popular with the public.
D.It may have a bright future.
