Jake Hertz and Isaac Roberts are two students who have launched a new business to meet this exact need: Campus Tech Repair.‎ Hertz and Roberts started their business half a year ago and they’ve had amazing success. The first day they had posters up, they received nearly a cloven calls from students. Despite not having backgrounds in business, the two gladly accepted the challenges of starting up such an in-demand service.‎ Hertz and Roberts experienced such a high demand because of the lack of any other hardware repair service on campus. The IT Center itself only provided software fixes: Hertz guessed that this was because of the increased responsibilities faced by repair services. Hertz and Roberts did make customers sign a release（解除）of responsibility, yet they also wanted to build a higher level of trust.‎ This, Hertz noted, was the only real challenge that they expected to face. Becoming directly sponsored by the school could solve the problem of community trust. Hertz and Roberts have already engaged in conversation with the University toward this end.‎ The main selling point of their service is its convenience, as well as the relatively low price. Many students have neither the time nor the means to visit a phone repair service in a store, in addition to the problem of cost. For them, Campus Tech Repair is the desired alternative.‎ Hertz is optimistic about the future of the business. The two partners dream of expanding the range of their operation to include more students and be able to meet ‎ all hardware needs. They’ve even received requests to repair Playstations（—种游戏机）, in addition to their specialties of computer and smartphone repair. They believe that with the support of the University, they could become a necessary part of campus services.‎ ‎24. Why is Campus Tech Repair popular on campus?‎ A. It was set up by Hertz and Roberts.‎ B. It meets students，demand for hardware repair.‎ C. It provides free services for students.‎ D. It has skilled experts from the IT center.‎ ‎25. Hertz and Roberts had conversation with the University in order to .‎ A. solve the problem of community trust B. sign a release of responsibility with customers C. get rid of their increased responsibilities D. improve their backgrounds in business ‎26. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?‎ A. The problems the students have to solve.‎ B. The challenges a repair service store faces.‎ C. The weak points a phone or a laptop owns.‎ D. The advantages Campus Tech Repair has.‎ ‎27. It can be learnt from the last paragraph that Hertz and Roberts .‎ A. expect to enlarge their business B. wish to do the campus services on their own C. lack confidence in the future of their business D. have much trouble repairing PlayStations C Each year, the National Council of Teachers of English（NCTE）presents several awards to recognize outstanding books written for all age levels. Earlier this month at a book awards luncheon（午宴）held during their 107th Annual Convention，they announced the winner of the 2018 Charlotte Huck Award for Outstanding Fiction for Children.‎ Dan Santat was named the winner of the 2018 Charlotte Huck Award for his novel AFTER THE FALL, the inspiring epilogue（后记）to the beloved classic nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty. The Charlotte Huck Award was established in 2014 to promote and recognize fiction that has the potential to have a positive effect on children’s lives. The award honors Dr. Charlotte Huck, a professor at Ohio State University who devoted her career to promoting the role of children’s books in young people’s academic, social, and emotional development. Each year，the committee selects a winner and recommended titles appropriate for children.‎ ‎“Charlotte Huck was a supporter for children’s books as teaching tools,” says Erika Dawes, chair of the Charlotte Huck Award committee. “Books like these award winners, books that promote imagination, wonder and sympathy, fill a critical need in our classrooms.”‎ Jason Chin was named winner of the 2018 Orbis Pictus Award for his book GRAND CANYON, an illuminating（启蒙的）look at one of the planet’s most fascinating features. The Orbis Pictus Award, established in 1989, is the oldest children’s book award for nonfiction.‎ Honor and Recommended Books in each category were also announced at the awards luncheon, where the 2017 winners（Jason Reynolds and Melissa Sweet）delivered speeches. Dan Santat and Jason Chin are invited to speak at next year’s Annual Convention.‎ ‎28.

He wrote classic nursery rhyme for children.‎ ‎31. What can we learn about NCTE? ‎ A. It only awards fictional books for children.‎ B. It mainly selects some books appropriate for children.‎ C.

They could be injured or simply confused. Yet precious minutes are wasted when emergency personnel have to search a building to find a person in need. With a new app called Sensory, emergency responders soon may be able to use a caller’s smartphone to locate his exact position in a building.‎ Columbia University researchers William Falcon and Henning Schulzrinne created Sensory using a two-step process. First, they used all existing smartphone features that help narrow down a caller’s location. All iPhones produced after 2014 already include GPS and altimeter（测高仪） that can help emergency responders determine if a person is outdoors or inside a building. But when it comes to tall buildings, just knowing a person’s altitude may not be enough，because the i distance between floors changes from one building to another.‎ So Falcon and Schulzrinne analysed the plans of figuring out the average distance between floors in residential（住宅的）buildings and office buildings among more than 1000 buildings in New York City. They tested their app in 63 experiments in five high-rise buildings and found that it could find a caller’s location within two floors with about a 91 percent accuracy.‎ In a survey conducted by Find Me 911 this year, dispatchers（调度员）said that ‎ they regularly received calls from people in need who often couldn’t share their location. They sometimes accidentally give the wrong address or floor number. Some callers are too young to know their address. Dispatchers also received calls from those who are deaf or have hearing problems and they often couldn’t hear the operator’s questions.‎ The new Sensory app could help shave precious minutes off the time it takes first responders to get to those calling for help. And it could make the difference between life and death. ‎ ‎32. The new app Sensory can be used to .‎ A. provide emergency measures B. speed the connection to 911‎ C. locate emergency callers accurately D. improve the function of smartphones ‎33. What can the Sensory’s first step help emergency responders do?‎ A. Make use of a smartphone’s sensors. B. Detect whether a caller is indoors.‎ C. Combine GPS and signal strength. D. Help callers speak clearly and accurately.‎ ‎34. What does Paragraph 4 really want to tell us?‎ A. The reasons for failing to get exact location.‎ B. The basic information about emergencies.‎ C. The potential danger of failing to rescue.‎ D. The different kinds of emergency callers.‎ ‎35. What is the author’s attitude to the new app?‎ A. Skeptical. B. Supportive. C. Unconcerned. D. Opposed.‎ 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。‎ Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference. If you can stay positive no matter what life throws at you, you’ve got the freedom to change your life into ‎ anything you want it to be. But how?‎ Enjoy the Moment While the present moment may be uncomfortable, it is the only one that is guaranteed. 36 Look beyond the present problem and find the moments that are worth enjoying and then enjoy each one.‎ Five Happy Things Everyday Make it a rule to recognize and then celebrate five happy things every day. Whatever their size or significance is, be sure to seek these happy things out and then hold them close so you can see their positive power. 37 ‎ Embrace（接受）Your Mistakes ‎ ‎ 38 Embrace your mistake as an opportunity to learn something new about yourself and others. By becoming aware of your mistakes, you are able to move past them and prevent regret from keeping you stuck in the past.‎ Hold Yourself Accountable Keep focused. It’s up to you to walk your path. When you feel your positive attitude slipping away, hold yourself accountable for getting it back on track. 39 It’s going to take a positive attitude to make your dreams come true.‎ Let it Go Holding on to old, negative thoughts will prevent positive thoughts from getting through. 40 You weren’t born to be consumed by constant negative thinking. You were born to make a positive difference in this world. It’s time to let go and begin living the life you are meant to live. It’s time to stay positive－no matter what.‎ A. Keep you safe from anxiety.‎ B. So let your negative beliefs go.‎ C. Would you rather be right or happy? ‎ D. Thus, make the most of the present moment. ‎ E. No one wants your goals and dreams more than you do.‎ F. This habit helps you to appreciate whatever you have.‎ G. Accept the fact that you are human and that nobody is perfect.‎ 第三部分　语言知识运用（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四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ A few years ago, I was working on a project in a small office of a company.
