Also imagine what it would be like spending the rest of your life with your eyes closed. Imagine having to read this page, not with your eyes but with your finger-tips.‎ With existing medical knowledge and skills, two-thirds of the world’s 42 million blind should not have to suffer. Unfortunately, rich countries possess most of this knowledge, while developing countries do not.‎ ORBIS is an international non-profit organization which operates the world’s only flying teaching eye hospital. ORBIS intends to help fight blindness worldwide. Inside a DC-8 aircraft,‎ 22 / 22‎ ‎ there is a fully-equipped teaching hospital with television studio and classroom. Doctors are taught the latest techniques of bringing sight back to people there. Project ORBIS also aims at promoting peaceful cooperation among countries.‎ ORBIS tries to help developing countries by providing training during three-week medical programs. ORBIS has taught sight-saving techniques to over 35,000 doctors and nurses, who continue to cure tens of thousands of blind people every year. ORBIS has conducted 17 plane programs is China so far. For the seven to ten million blind in China ORBIS is planning to do more for them. At the moment an ORBIS is working on a long-term plan to develop a training center and to provide eye care service to Shanxi Province. ORBIS needs your help to continue their work and free people from blindness.‎ For just US$38, you can help one person see; for $380 you can bring sight to 10 people; $1,300 helps teach a doctor new skills; and for $13,000 you can provide a training programme for a group of doctors who can make thousands of blind people see again. Your money can open their eyes to the world. Please help ORBIS improve the quality of life for so many people less fortunate than ourselves.‎ ‎11. The first paragraph is intended to ______.‎ A．introduce a new way of reading B．advise the public to lead a simple life C．direct the public’s attention to the blind D．encourage the public to use imagination ‎12. What do we learn about existing medical knowledge and skills in the world？‎ A．They are adequate. B．They have not been updated.‎ C．They are not equally distributed. D．They have benefited most of the blind.‎ ‎13. ORBIS aims to help the blind by ______.‎ A．teaching medical students B．training doctors and nurses C．running flying hospitals globally D．setting up non-profit organization 22 / 22‎ ‎14. What does the author try to do in the last paragraph?‎ A．Appeal for donations. B．Make an advertisement.‎ C．Promote training programs. D．Show sympathy for the blind.‎ ‎15. What can be the best title for the passage?‎ A．ORBIS in China B．Fighting Blindness C．ORBIS Flying Hospital D．Sight-seeing Techniques B Blind imitation is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation appears attractive; to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable.‎ In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.‎ In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.‎ In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.‎ Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has 22 / 22‎ ‎ been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with all the material knocking at the door of imagination.‎ Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not serve you. Then you can say, “I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors’ tragedies and declare victory, and know that they are cheering me on.”‎ ‎16. Imitation proves useful when you _______.‎ A．know you are unique B．lose the balance of life C．begin to learn something new D．get tired of routine practice ‎17. To avoid the bad result of imitation, we should________.‎ A．forget daily fear and pain B．choose the right example C．ask others for decisions D．stay away from stars ‎18. According to the author, the world moves on because of those who are _______.‎ A．desperate to influence others with their knowledge B．ready to turn their original ideas into reality C．eager to discover what their ancestors did D．willing to accept others’ ideas ‎19. The trouble a creator faces is ________.‎ A．the lack of strong motivation B．the absence of practical ideas C．how to search for more materials D．how to use imagination creatively ‎20. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?‎ A．To highlight the importance of creativity.‎ B．To criticize the characters of role models.‎ C．To compare imitation with creation.‎ D．To explain the meaning of success.‎ 22 / 22‎ C Larry was on another of his underwater expeditions (探险) but this time, it was different. He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for.‎ Larry first began diving when he was his daughter’s age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were either too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children his age were not even allowed to dive.‎ After the first expedition, Larry’s later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures.‎ Larry’s first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands. There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them. Fortunately for him, a man offered to take him around the different spots for free. Larry didn’t even know what the time was, how many spots he dived into or how many photographs he had taken. The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.‎ Larry looked at his daughter. She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age. He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition. Already, she looked like she was much 22 / 22‎ ‎ braver than had been then. This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.‎ ‎21. In what way was this expedition different for Larry?‎ A．His daughter had grown up.‎ B．He had become a famous diver.‎ C．His father would dive with him.‎ D．His daughter would dive with him.‎ ‎22. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?‎ A．Larry had some privileges (特权).‎ B．Larry liked the rented diving suits.‎ C．Divers had to buy diving equipment.‎ D．Ten-year-old children were permitted to dive.‎ ‎23. Why did Larry have to stay in a cage underwater sometimes?‎ A．To protect himself from danger.‎ B．To dive into the deep water.‎ C．To admire the underwater view.‎ D．To take photo more conveniently.‎ ‎24. What can be learned from the underlined sentence?‎ A．Larry didn’t wear a watch.‎ B．Larry was not good at math.‎ C．Larry had a poor memory.‎ D．Larry enjoyed the adventure.‎ ‎25. What did Larry expect his daughter to do?‎ A．Become a successful diver.‎ B．Make a good diving guide.‎ C．Take a lot of photo underwater.‎ D．Have longer hours of training.‎ 第二节 ‎（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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项。‎ Deleted Photos May Still Be on Your Phone When you remove a photo from your cell phone, it may not be gone for good.

Travel to Spain, and you will learn about world-class culture, taste mouth-watering food, buy inexpensive goods, see unique buildings and visit beautiful fields. The best season to travel to Spain is summer. Taking the train to Spain is far more exciting, more relaxing, not to mention it's better for the environment than flying. Train travel is rapidly growing in popularity because of its speed improving.‎ 22 / 22‎ ‎ Compared to traveling by plane, most importantly, you can take more luggage. You arrive directly at your destination still lying in bed. For longer distances such as Sevilla, Barcelona or Madrid, our capital and the largest city, there's the added advantage of taking the train overnight, which saves on your hotel cost. On the train you can catch up on some sleep or simply watch the landscape changing around you. Unlike on a plane, you’re not tied to your seat. Taking a train means you’re free to wander down to the bar, chat with friendly people, or relax with a book in your own cabin. In our grand class cabin there are seats, a small table and comfortable beds. Our private suite also offers a shower and toilet facilities.‎ 7. Which season is the best to visit Spain?‎ 8. Why is train travel becoming more and more popular in Spain?‎ 9. What is the main advantage of train travel compared to traveling by plane?‎ 10. What can be found in the grand class cabin besides seats and a small table?‎ 22 / 22‎
