18.I was a volunteer for an organization at the beginning of this year.The organization is aimed at helping children who suffer from cancer.One day,we were asked to raise money for cancer research and program funding at an event.
Since my friend Lisa was also a volunteer for the organization,I went to the event with her.There were many people at the event.After seeing our poster,some people came to us and talked with us.But few people donated money.It was a bit hot that day.Both Lisa and I got really upset.
Half an hour later,Lisa started complaining,"I don't think we can raise much money today."
"Don't worry.The event lasts for three hours.There is still a lot of time left,"I said,though I also thought poorly of our plan to raise much money that day.
While Lisa and I were talking,a little boy of about eight years old came to us.He stood in front of our poster and started reading.
After a while,he asked,"What is cancer?"
I explained what cancer is.Then I said,"Many people around the world are suffering from cancer.It can be really dangerous.More research is needed to learn about it so that people with it can suffer less.That's why we're collecting money for it."
"Do children suffer from cancer,too?"asked the boy.
"Yes.Many children suffer from cancer.Some of them may die.They need help,"Lisa said and I nodded.
Hearing that,the boy became sad.Then the boy asked,"How much money have you collected?"
Both Lisa and I were embarrassed to tell him that we didn't raise much money.At last,we said,"Not much."
The boy looked into our donation container and only saw a few one-dollar and five-dollar bills.The boy said nothing after seeing that and left.Then some girls came to us and we started talking with them.Neither Lisa nor I thought the boy would return.However,about twenty minutes later,the boy did return.

1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语;
3.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;

Paragraph 1:
The boy happily ran to us and asked,"Would you take a donation from children?"Lisa and Ilooked at each other.We couldn't believe such a little boywould care.Though we didn't believe it,we said"yes".The boy put his hand in his pocket and took out some five-dollar bills.He said,"I just asked for them from my mother.I really want to help the children suffering from cancer."
Paragraph 2:
Both Lisa and I were deeply touched.We thanked the boy,but he left soon.Looking at his back,both Lisa and I were greatly encouraged.We wanted to try harder to raise money.So instead of just standing there,we went to people and told them about our program.At the end of the day,we raised over three thousand dollars,a lot more than Lisa and I had expected in the beginning..

12.Instant coffee is very popular in the UK.Why do the British drink so much more instant coffee than anyone else?
"It's like orange squash(橙汁饮料) and orange juice.They're both called orange but that's pretty much where the similarities end,"says Paul Meikle-Janney,managing director of coffee consultancy,Coffee Community."Instant coffee and fresh coffee are different products.Each has its own place in the market but that place is narrowing when it comes to instant and that is as it should be."
   But instant coffee still accounts for 77% of the coffee the British buy to drink at home,according to market research specialists Mintel.In Italy it accounts for just 1%,in France 4% and 7% in the US.The UK market for coffee at home is growing and is now worth more than£1 billion annually.
   It's the Americans who are largely believed to have given the UK the stuff.It came during World War Two.For a nation of coffee drinkers it was a temporary solution to not having a freshly brewed(煮) cup of coffee.For a nation of tea drinkers it was something new and exciting.
    Instant coffee is refused in cafe culture.But,as figures show,things are different in many British homes.Author Phillip Hensher is a fan,calling it a"little piece of everyday private magic".So what's the appeal?Simple--it's quick and easy.Granules(颗粒),hot water,some milk if that's how you take it,job done."‘No trouble'is the product's main strength but that won't last as freshly-brewed coffee is now much quicker and easier to make it at home."
   And instant coffee lovers will probably be cool with that because they are generally lazy,according to a psychological study into what your coffee reveals about your personality.
32.Paul Meikle-Janney mentions"orange squash and orange juice"to show instant coffeeD.
A.is similar to fresh coffee                  
B.is as good as fresh coffee
C.is as cheap as fresh coffee                 
D.is different from fresh coffee
33.Which country consumes the least amount of instant coffee?A
A.Italy.
B.France.
C.The UK.D.The US.
34.During World War Two,Americans regarded instant coffee asC.
A.something new                     
B.something exciting
C.a compromise                      
D.a fashionable choice
35.According to the fifth paragraph,instant coffee's popularity results fromC.
A.its low price        
B.its high quality   
C.its convenience             
D.its special taste.
