I would just wrinkle(皱) my nose every time I heard them.This year, with the thought of going away to college rising in my mind, I have found myself reflecting on that advice. I believe the quality of our life is decided when doing something to benefit someone else rather than ourselves. It isnt found in those extraordinary moments of great beliefs, but rather in everyday, more ordinary times, when we have the opportunity to brighten someones day or make someone smile.When my grandfather was sick, I heard Mom saying, “Call right now.” I had just gotten home from school, and all I wanted to do was relax, but I made the call. After hearing the gratitude in my grandfathers voice and knowing how much it meant to him. I knew I “did the right thing at the right time”.Im not sure what college I will be attending next year, but I am sure that Moms words will be echoing (回荡) around me. When the lonely girl in the dorm room across the hall is by herself, I will invite her to dinner. When a friend needs help studying for a final exam, I will help her when she asks. When I see a friend hurting herself with an eating disorder, I will take her to a doctor. Those words that I didnt think much about growing up have become a part of me, without my even realizing it. My belief will at ways be to “do the right thing, at the right time”, so I will never be sorry.25The author once thought of her mothers words as_.A. disappointing B. inspiring C. meaningless D. important.26Which of the following does the author agree according the text?A. We should listen carefully when others give us advice.B. We should do something great if we want to become famous.C. Smiling to ourselves at times makes us live a happier life.D. Doing something to benefit others improves our life as well.27What does the underlined word “gratitude” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Confidence. B. Concern. C. Regards. D. Thanks28Whats the last paragraph mainly about?A. The authors life at college. B. The authors belief in giving help.C. The authors view on friendship. D. The authors trouble in growing up.COne way of preventing floods may be making rain! This may sound rather strange. As we know, heavy rain is the cause of floods, and in Malaysia most of the floods are caused by the annual monsoon(季风), which brings heavy rain to the east coast. If, however, the rain could be made to fall in the China Sea, there would be no more floods since the rain clouds would not reach the east coast.Is it possible to make clouds give up their rain? Yes, it is, and in 1973 the National Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research (NISIR) suggested that it would be tried. The institute knew of course that it is not possible to make all clouds give up all their rain. It calculated, however, that if the frequency of rainfall could be reduced by 10% , and the amount of rain that fell each time could be reduced by 15%, the total amount of flood damage would be reduced by 40%-50%.As you probably know, clouds are caused by air containing water-vapor. The air rises and, since water-vapor becomes water when it cools, very tiny drops of water are formed. Since these drops are very small, they float in the air, and form cloud. When the cloud rises, however, the drops become colder. Because of this, they join together and become big drops. The big drops are no longer able to float because of their size, and they fall. As they fall, they pick up more drops and become bigger. This is the cause of rain.29According to the text, one way of preventing floods is_.A. to bring heavy rain. B. to make the rain clouds.C. to cause monsoon in the sea. D. to make the rain fall in the sea.30What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Cloud B. Water C. Rain D. Air31Whats the last paragraph mainly about?A. How clouds cause rain.B. How rain is formed.C. How clouds rise in the air.D. Why water-vapor can float in the air.32What can we infer from the text?A. The higher the air rises, the higher the temperature is.B. The clouds rise, and the water vapor become smaller.C. The higher the air rises, the lower the temperature getsD. The rain is mostly caused by cold water-vapor.DAll over the world mothers and fathers teach their children manners. Other children may have manners that are not like yours. There are all kinds of manners.Many years ago, children who had good manners were seen and not heard. They kept quiet if grown-ups were talking. Today, well-mannered children have more freedom.Sometimes good manners in one place are bad manners in other places. Suppose you are a visitor in the land of Mongolia. Some friends ask you to eat with them. What kind of manners do they want you to have? They want you to give a loud “burp(打嗝)” after you finish eating. Burping would show that you like your food. In some countries, if you give a loud burp, you are told to say “Excuse me, please.” In many places people like to eat together. But in some parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating at all. People show good manners by turning their backs on others while they eat. What are manners like in an East African town? The people try not to see you. They are being polite. You may see a friend. He may not see you at all. If you are polite, you will sit down beside him. You will wait until he finishes what he is doing. Then he will talk to you. Suppose you visit a friend in Arabia. You should walk behind the other tents until you come to his tent. If you pass in front of the other tents, you will be asked into each one. The people will ask you to eat with them. And it is bad manners if you say no.Manners are different all over the world. But it is good to know that all manners begin in the same way. People need ways to show that they want to be friends.33What was the polite behavior of children in the past?A. Looking into adults eyes while talkingB. Keeping silent while adults were talkingC. Slipping into the house without being heardD. Not opening their mouths until spoken to34Which custom should we follow in order to look well-mannered?A. Saying “Excuse me” on burping in MongoliaB. Inviting guests to dinner together in PolynesiaC. Talking with a friend before he completes things in East AfricaD. Accepting an eating invitation in Arabia35What can we infer from the text?A. Hear much, speak littleB. Love me, love my dogC. When in Rome do as the Romans doD. Do what you ought to and come what can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。Are you having trouble concentrating when youre reading a book or listening to a lecture？This list of activities might help to improve your study habits.Make a list.We often have trouble paying attention to one thing because our brain wants to think about something else. 36 You dont worry about whatever else you should be doing.Sleep more.Studies show that people who sleep fewer than eight hours a night for a period of time have slower response systems and more difficulty recalling information. 37Eat healthier foods.Many people enjoy foods high in fats and sugars. 38 They might give you a temporary burst of energy.However，that energy is soon followed by a crash.Reduce screen time.This may be the most unpopular suggestion among young people.Screen time time spent looking at cell phones，televisions，computer screens，has a clear effect on the attention span. 3940 Concentration improves for students who participate in team sports.It could be that being active is helpful in this way.Participating in a sport trains your brain to concentrate on specific tasks，and shut out other thoughts.ABe active.BPractice more.CThese foods can provide enough energy for focusing.DBut these foods cant be helpful enough when it comes to focusing.EThat is bad news for teens who stay up studying the night before a test.FResearchers advise parents to limit it when their children need to be focused.GBy writing down all the things you need to do，youll gain a sense of control.第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分45）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四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。One of Mark Twains classic novels is The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
