Thats the message Internet singer Austin Mahone says at We Day, an event for young people in Canada. When he was 14，Austin and a friend began uploading pop songs to musical websites.I was just doing it because we had nothing to do, living in a small town.Id check different websites for the hottest songs, and Id record my own videos, he explains. Thats how people began to find me online.His videos got millions of hits and he signed with a record company. The result was the release of Austins first album, Junior Year. While it seems like a sudden rise for the teenager, Austin admits the early days were not always fun. He says a lot of people thought badly of him for posting his videos online. Yet this didnt put him off.I kept working hard. And the hits on his videos kept coming.Austins achievement and spirit make him a perfect fit for the message of We Day. After all, Free the Children, the creator of the event, was founded to enable youth to make changes. Even Austins unusual rise by way of the Internet fits with the way Free The children works and raises money.Because of Austin, his four million followers will learn about Free the Children. While Austins presence certainly helps We Day, its good for him, too. Austin gets to show himself as someone who volunteers his time and talent for a worthy cause and show that he cares about making the world a better place.21.Why did Austin put pop songs on musical websites?A. He was bored with his life there. B. To attract peoples attention.C. To help advertise the songs. D. His friend asked him to do so.22.What does the underlined word this in Paragraph 3 refer to ?A. Austins sudden rise. B. Peoples dissatisfaction.C. The release of Junior Year. D. Signing with a record company.23.What Austin did at We Day .A. was a win-win situationB. set an example for all the singersC. first made him become known to the publicD. led many young people to be volunteersBIt was dangerously cold. A few drivers slipping and sliding off the road and back on again had cut deep ruts（车辙）in the mud. And the ruts became frozen solid. The drum of our trucks aging engine worried us.Trees and bushes heavy with snow bent to form an icy tunnel. We inched along the scary route as Howard grasped the steering wheel（方向盘）tightly, trying to keep the truck in the ruts. We were now riding through a nightmare with no going back. I kept praying the truck would not quit.However, the engines coughing grew worse. We came to a bumping stop. Hot tears ran down my face. We noticed a small house off in the distance. I will go for help. Howards words ruined my common sense and panic took over. We would take the children we would walk to that house together!But the snow was deep, and our two children, asleep in the cab, were too heavy to carry. My husband convinced me to let him go alone. If no one was home or they didnt answer the door, he would come back and wed try to hike out to a main road. For now, it was safer in the truck. I wish I could say I have faith, but when he walked away, I was mad at the world.It seemed as if hours had passed before I heard a familiar voice and a kind laugh of another man as they approached in the snow. The older fellow invited us to go up to the house where his wife was waiting. Two wide-awake kids moved across the seat, ready for adventure. Their voices and laughter carried in the cold night air. When we finally got close, a cheerful woman opened the door. Warm air and the smell of hot buttered popcorn and chocolate drew us in.Relieved, my prayers were heard!24. What made the author worried after Howard left the truck?A. Her being locked in the truck.B. Howards failure to get the help.C. Childrens fear in the freezing night.D. The trucks sudden move in the frozen mud.25. What can we learn about the older couple from Paragraph 5?A. They were willing to offer help.B. They loved making friends with children.C. They enjoyed cooking in cold winter nights.D. They came across the Howards on the way home.26. What would be the best title of the passage?A. A Scary Night B. Mans PrayerC. A Truck Accident D. Gods AnswerCToday, many people use plants from other places to design their yards. Well, do they have any influence on animals living nearby? As we know, plants supply food for things like insects and plant-eating animals. In turn, birds and meat-eating animals feed on these insects and plant-eating animals. It is easy to see how important plants are.Although foreign plants may look beautiful, they can cause problems when there are too many of them. I live in Virginia, USA, and sometimes see a plantcommonly known as Kudzu that seems to cover everything in the area, even climbing over whole trees and houses.Kudzu is an unbelievable plant since it grows very fast. It was first brought to the United States from south-east Asia around the 1870s as a crop that farmers could grow. However, Kudzu quickly came to be considered harmful throughout the southern United States.Since Kudzu grows fast in many different environments, it can completely cover areas of land quickly. The plant is also not eaten by any insects or birds in the United States so it can grow unchecked. Kudzu can cover trees, bushes, and even houses. It costs the United States 500 million dollars a year to just keep Kudzu from growing too fast. The plant is a perfect example of what scientists call an invasive (侵略性的) species, which grows more quickly than other native plants.All foreign plants have the possibility to spread quickly. Not only are they costly, but planting them in gardens actually takes away food from insects. If everyone filled their garden with plants native to where they live, many lovely butterflies and other native creatures would be attracted to their backyards! So, take a look out of your window how does your garden grow?27. We can learn from the text that Kudzu in Virginia .A. is very popular B. is difficult to growC. can cause big trouble D. can make air cleaner28.Which of the following is TRUE of Kudzu?A. It served as food at first in America. B. It came to America in the early 19th century.C. It grows fast in Asia, but slowly in America. D. It is often eaten by insects or birds in America.29.How does the author sound when telling of these foreign plants?A. Sad. B. Worried. C. Proud. D. Excited.30.What does the author mainly discuss in the text?A. Everyone should learn to love nature. B. It is a hard job to grow plants in yards.C. Gardening has become a serious hobby.D. It is important to say no to foreign plants.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Be an inventorThe biggest secret about inventing is that anybody can do it! Perhaps this sounds crazy, but its true. Maybe you have the wrong idea about inventing, so read on to discover the truth.Wrong idea number 1: 31 Well, inventing means creating something new, but the idea could come from something that already exists. 32 Wrong idea number 2: Inventors are born, not made.There are a lot of factors that make invention possible. Take Mozart, for example. He was born with a special talent for music. 33 His father was a music teacher, and Mozart practiced for hours every day, from the time he was in kindergarten .34 Very successful creators dont give up when they get something wrong. As one inventor said, A failure is the right answer to the wrong question!Wrong idea number 3: Inventors are always old people. 35 Here is an example of a young inventor: Louis Braille went blind when he was a child. When he was 15, he invented a system of reading and writing for blind people that is still used in most countries today.A. Everyday things can give people lots of ideas.B. An invention has to be something completely new.C. But other factors were also important for his creativity.D. As a young man, George Nissen invented the trampoline (蹦床).E. Dont believe that you cant invent something when you are young.F. Thomas Edison said that being an inventor was 99% hard work and 1% inspiration !G. The Wright brothers, for example, got the idea for building a flying machine from watching birds. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。When I was in the seventh grade, I was a volunteer at a local hospital in my townMost of the 36 I spent there was with Mr. GillespieHe never had any visitors and nobody seemed to care about his 37 .I spent many days there holding his hand and talking to him, 38 anything that needed to be doneHe became a close friend of mine, 39 he responded with only an occasional squeeze(捏) of my 40 Mr. Gillespie was in a coma(昏迷)I left for a week to vacation with my parents, and when I came back, Mr. Gillespie was _41_I didnt have the 42to ask any of the nurses where he was, for fear that they might 43 me he had diedSeveral 44 later, when I was a senior in high school, I was at the gas station when I noticed a familiar faceWhen I 45 who it was, my eyes filled with tearsHe was 46 !

The son said, Father, I have just now told you, its a crow!After a little while, the old father again asked his son for the third time, What is this?At this time some expression of irritation（恼怒）was felt in the sons tone when he said to his father with a rebuff（生硬回绝）.

Are you not able to understand this?A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered（发皱的）diary, which he had maintained since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary: Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he
