Holidays are the time of the year that more people are in a giving mood. Homeless shelters, children’s hospitals, and nursing homes are excellent places to give of one’s time.‎ ‎ Volunteering in Homeless Shelters ‎ There is a homeless directory online that anyone can easily access to find the closest homeless shelter to their home. According to the homeless shelter directory, currently there are 3,233 shelters in the US, so it is not difficult to find a shelter.Helping to serve food, picking up donations of food, preparing meals, and cleaning up are things that one can do to help at a homeless shelter.‎ ‎ Volunteering in Children’s Hospitals ‎ Every child needs comfort and joy, especially during the holiday seasons. By visiting sick children in hospitals, an individual provides helping hands by supplementing the services usually done by the hospital staff.Personalizing the hospital experience adds to the comfort and happiness of the children and their families. Volunteers provide help, and positive interactions (相互交流) which enhance the patient’s quality of care. Help is needed almost everywhere in a hospital; from the lobby, parking lot, cafeteria, to admitting, helping with the gift cart, and even reading to children in the waiting rooms or their hospital rooms.‎ ‎ Volunteering in Nursing Homes ‎ According to the National Center for Health Statistics, “Over 50% of those living in nursing homes do not have close relatives and 46% have no living children.” Life in a nursing home is lonely, confusing, and frightening for many residents. Volunteering at a nursing home is a great opportunity to make a difference in someone else’s life. Playing cards, sitting with and talking to a resident, taking a walk, or sharing a meal makes a huge difference, especially when they have no other sole on earth to visit them.‎ The three examples above are only a small fraction of institutions in which volunteers are needed. Giving of oneself, especially during the holidays blesses and cheers others.‎ 24. In a children’s hospital, which of the following is TRUE?‎ A. Over 50% of those living there do not have relatives.‎ B. A personal visit brings happiness to a sick boy.‎ C. Children live a lonely and frightening life.‎ D. Children love listening to volunteers’ reading.‎ ‎25. According to the passage, what can a volunteer do in nursing homes?‎ A. Visiting the sick children. B. Picking up the donated food. ‎ C. Helping with the gift cart. D. Playing cards with a lonely old man.‎ ‎26. What can we learn about the volunteering?‎ A. It is easy to find a homeless shelter to volunteer.‎ B. You can help prepare meals in a nursing home. ‎ C. You can only volunteer during the holidays..‎ D. Help is needed everywhere in a homeless shelter.‎ ‎27. The best title for the passage would be________.‎ A. Giving of oneself cheers others B. Volunteering is a way of life ‎ C. Volunteering during the holidays D. Giving is better than taking C For every cup of coffee you made, about two spoons of grounds（咖啡渣） end up in the waste. That doesn’t seem like a lot, but just think about the millions of coffees consumed around the world every single day, and you’ll see the problem. Sure, some of those coffee grounds are recycled as fertilizer to enrich the soil or beauty products like face masks, but most will be buried into the ground. It was while considering this issue that German product designer Julian Lechner came up with a new way of recycling coffee grounds – turning them into tableware.‎ ‎“We were always drinking coffee at university,” Lechner remembers. “And that’s how I started to wonder. What happens to all that coffee? It was all just getting thrown away.” He began consulting with his professors about ways of using coffee grounds to create a solid material.‎ ‎“We tried combining with a lot of different things,” Lechner said, “We even tried sugar. That was close, but basically it was a candy cup. It just kept melting after being used three times.” The whole point was to make it last long, so Lechner and his partners went back to the institute to continue their research. Finally, after many failed experiments, they came up with a mix of coffee grounds and a biopolymer( 生物高聚物 )that seemed to behave the way Lechner had expected it.‎ ‎“The moment of knowing the cup would actually stand was super-exciting,” he recalls. “It was wonderful to drink that first coffee out of the cup. It proved to be totally worth the wait.” And his creation has proven commercially successful, which is just the icing on the cake. The coffee cups are now present in ten shops across Europe, and the company can hardly keep up with demand, regularly selling out of its stock online.‎ Lechner will soon launch a larger line of coffee grounds cups and also work on a travel mug. But those are just short-term plans, as Lechner hopes to one day use recycled coffee grounds to ‎ create all sort of useful stuff—like sheets and furniture in cafés and restaurants.‎ ‎28. What do people do with coffee grounds before Lechner?‎ A. Make products beautiful. B. Improve the soil. ‎ C. Produce drinking cups. D. Create solid materials.‎ ‎29. What can we infer from Paragraph 3? ‎ A. Candy cups can last longer than coffee cups. B. Coffee grounds are rich in biopolymer.‎ C. Biopolymer can get coffee cups used repeatedly. D. Lechner invented coffee cups alone.‎ ‎30. What does the underlined phrase refer to in Paragraph 4?‎ A. Profits from coffee cup business. B. Creation of coffee cups.‎ C. Decreasing demands for coffee grounds. D. Consumption of delicious iced coffee.‎ ‎31.What is the main idea of the passage?‎ A.A new way of recycling coffee cups.‎ B.Commercial success from consuming coffee.‎ C.Recycling coffee grounds into stuff like coffee cups.‎ D.Different product designers of recycling coffee grounds.‎ D Once a thief, always a thief?—— Washington Post, November 21st, 2017‎ Martha Stewart was charged, tried and convicted of a crime in 2004. As she neared the end of her prison sentence, a well-known columnist wrote that she was "paying off her crime”, and that "there is simply no reason for anyone to attempt to deny her right to start a new life.”‎ Surely, the American ideal of second chances should not only belong to the rich and powerful. Unfortunately, many laws set post-conviction restrictions on a shockingly large number of Americans, who are prevented from ever fully paying their debt to society.‎ At least 65 million people in the United States have a criminal record. This can result in severe punishments that continue long after punishment is completed. Many of these punishments are set regardless of the seriousness of the crime. Laws can restrict or ban voting, obtaining public housing, and get business licenses. They can affect a person’s ability to get a job and qualification for benefits.‎ In all, more than 45,000 laws and rules serve to stop vast numbers of people from fully participating in American life. Therefore, these laws are also counterproductive, since they make it ‎ harder for people with criminal records to find housing or land a job, two key factors that reduce backsliding（重蹈覆辙）. A recent report makes several recommendations, including the cancel of most post-conviction punishments, except for those specifically needed to protect public safety. ‎ The point is not to excuse or forget the crime. Rather, it is to recognize that in America's vast criminal law system, second chances are important. It is in no one's interest to keep a large number of the population on the edges of society.‎ ‎32. As for the example of Martha Stewart, the well-known columnist's remark suggested that ________?‎ A. her past record might stand in her way to a new life.‎ B. the public think it wrong to release Martha Stewart C. Martha Stewart went on making big money while in prison D. the lawyers recommended a longer prison sentence to Martha Stewart ‎ ‎33. What do we learn from the second paragraph about many criminals in America?‎ A. They commit more serious crimes after leaving the prison.‎ B. They live freely and happily after the prison sentence.‎ C. They receive severe punishments for committing small crimes.‎ D. They got fewer chances to turn over a new leaf.‎ ‎34. The closest explanation of the underlined word “counterproductive” in Paragraph 4 is “_______”.‎ A. enlarging the number B. having the opposite effect C. booming the rise D. making a response ‎35. The author wrote this news to_______.‎ A. create opportunities for criminals to reform themselves.‎ B. call people’s attention to prisoners’ conditions in America.‎ C. reduce the criminal rate in America.‎ D. demand changes in America’s criminal law system.‎ 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。‎ Being organized is an important skill for school and life.When you're well organized, you can ‎ stay focused, instead of spending time hunting things down and feeling confused. 36 For schoolwork, it means having one notebook or place where you store all your assignments, so you know what you have to do and when. Keeping labeled folders(贴有标签的文件夹) and keeping all your schoolwork neat and in a specific place—these are the main parts of organization.‎ For home stuff, being organized means having a place to put your things and putting them back when you finish using them. 37 It means keeping your schoolbag, your shoes, and your clean underwear in the same places so you always know where to find them.‎ ‎___38 Planning means deciding what you will do and when you will do it. Calendars, lists, and schedules can help you plan. 39 Making a schedule or “todo” list for yourself is a good idea. Looking at your list helps you keep track of what you need to do. Add new things as you get assignments, and check off things when you've done them. Use your list to help you decide which thing is most important to work on first.‎ It takes some extra efforts to organize yourself and your stuff. 40 The less time you spend hunting around for things or panicking about homework, the more time you have for better things, like reading a good book or playing.‎ A. What does it mean to be organized?‎ B. Planning is part of being organized, too.‎ C. It helps you to lead a more efficient life.‎ D. But once you’re organized, you feel great.‎ E. You can buy a calendar and keep it near your workplace.‎ F. It means hanging your coat up instead of throwing it on a chair.‎ G. A calendar is a set of pages showing the days, weeks and months of a year.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节（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ABCD四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ In December 2016, my parents asked me what I wanted for Christmas.
