It’ll enable us to focus more on our health.‎ B Some people would argue that life experience is important to being a motivational speaker, but an 11-year-old kid from Pakistan is proving that all you really need is an inspirational speech and confidence.‎ At just 11 years of age, Hammad Safi has accomplished what most of us won’t be able to do in a lifetime. He is the youngest motivational speaker in Pakistan, and probably the world, a free writer, TV anchor and a lecturer at a University , where he teaches students twice his age. He has been referred to as a “super kid”, a “child extraordinaire”, “motivational guru” and even “the little genius of Pakistan”.‎ ‎“He is not an ordinary child. I have seen abilities in him. That’s why I have appointed special teachers for him,” Safi’s father, Abdul Rehman Khan, said, “I want him to become a special leader. I’m very proud… For his abilities, for his intelligence.‎ ‎ Abdul’s description may seem exaggerated (夸张的）– he is Hammad’s father after all – but the boy is indeed capable beyond his years. How many 11-year-olds do you know that can command the attention of thousands of adults while speaking on serious topics like success, life challenges or responsibility? Hammad can, and he does it with ease, relying on his great charm, practiced hand gestures and a confidence that attracts his audiences greatly.‎ ‎“A few months ago I was really disappointed with life… I was thinking about suicide, because there are no jobs and no success in life,” a student said, “Then I saw a movie of Hammad Safi. I thought if an 11-year-old child can do anything, why can’t I?”‎ That is what makes Safi so special, his power to get his message across and inspire people much older than him.‎ Many in Pakistan are astonished by Hammad’s self-confidence and his ability to lecture on important subjects, but there are also those who believe that this role is depriving the boy of his childhood.‎ ‎24. Which statement about Hammad Safi is not correct?‎ A. His audience is much older than he is.‎ B. He is the youngest motivational speaker in the world.‎ C. People in Pakistan think highly of Hammad Safi.‎ D. His father is also proud of him very much.‎ ‎25. What can’t you learn from Hammad Safi’s speech?‎ A. We can realize the importance of responsibility.‎ B. We can get confidence to deal with life challenges.‎ C. We can remember the happy memory of childhood.‎ D. We can understand the relationship between confidence and success.‎ ‎26. What does the underlined word “depriving” in the last paragraph mean?‎ A. To guarantee that somehing will happen.‎ B. To make somebody imagine.‎ C. To take away something by force.‎ D. To give up something all by oneself.‎ ‎27. What is the main idea of the passage?‎ A. It introduces a very famous speaker.‎ B. It tells that people in Pakistan are living without motivation.‎ C. It tells us how to give people confidence.‎ D. It introduces a young motivational speaker.‎ C Researchers are now using three-dimensional, or 3D printing to create models of the human heart to help heart specialists. The heart doctors can use the models to better help patients before an operation.‎ Surgeons regularly use digital images to explore the heart in close detail. But no two human hearts are alike. This led Matthew Bramlet, a children's heart expert, to create exact heart models from those images. He says the 3D models show information he cannot get in any other way. The 3D printed model adds a new dimension to heart surgery, allowing surgeons to see defects that might not be readily apparent in digital images.‎ A 3D printer uses images from a digital display to create a physical model of a human heart. Pictures from medical tests like a CAT scan or an MRI scan are sent to a 3D printer to create a heart in a plaster or a clay form. The printer then constructs the heart, thin layer by thin layer. Dr. Bramlet says the model matches the real heart in every detail.‎ Dr. Bramlet has built model hearts for different kinds of heart operations. All of the operations were successful. In his first case, digital images showed only one tiny hole in a baby's heart. But the 3D printed model showed several defects that the baby was born with. Dr. Bramlet says those defects could not be seen easily in the images. The heart surgeon was able to change the type of surgery for the patient based on the 3D model. He added that 3D heart models saved time during heart operations.‎ Kathy Magliato is a heart surgeon. She welcomes the new technology. She says it could help her make better decisions before she operates on the hearts of her patients.‎ Matthew Bramlet continues to research the technology. He is working with the National Institute of Health to build a 3D library that includes heart models and images that others can use.‎ ‎28. What’s the limitation of digital heart images?‎ A. A lack of close details.                  B. Inability to display defects.‎ C. Failure to show personal differences.       D. Inaccuracy in the size of the child’s heart.‎ ‎29. What can the heart model created by 3D printing do?‎ A.  It can make defects readily apparent.            ‎ B. It can conduct heart operations.‎ C. It can replace the human heart.    ‎ D. It can serve as an alternative to a CAT scan.‎ ‎30. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?‎ A. Dr.Bramlet wasted a lot of time in heart operations.‎ B. 3D heart models have not been used in surgery at present.‎ C. All of the operations were unsuccessful without 3D models.‎ D. The model revealed defects previously unseen in the baby's heart.‎ ‎31. How does Kathy Magliato feel about the 3D printing?‎ A. Supportive.         B. Tolerant.          C. Doubtful.           D. Negative.‎ D Regardless of how far we’d like to believe gender(性别) equality in the workplace has come, there’s still a yawning gap between male and female leaders in the professional world. A 2018 statistic shows that women nowadays hold just 5.8 percent of CEOs positions at S&P 500 companies, according to Catalyst.‎ While it’s not a huge shock that women are somewhat underrepresented in leadership positions, what is surprising though, is the fact that females may actually be better suited to lead in almost every area, at least according to new findings from the BI Norwegian Business School.‎ In their research，Professor Yvind L. Martinsen and Professor Lars Glas surveyed 2,900 managers with a special focus on personality types. The results were clear: Women scored higher than men in four of the five major leadership-centric categories.‎ While some people believe that men inherently make better leaders — probably because they picture a leader with a commanding voice, which is more typical of men than women — this piece of research suggests that women are better at methodical management and goal-setting, openness, sociability and supportiveness, as well as ability to communicate clearly.‎ There was one area in which men scored higher than women, though, and that was on emotional stability and ability to face job-related pressure and stress. The results suggest that women are more sensitive to the effects of high-pressure or highly emotional situations.‎ Obviously，it’s important to consider individual differences. Anyone, regardless of gender, may be an inspiring leader and a competent boss. But next time you’re hiring for a management position, you just might want to give the resumes(简历) from ‎ female candidates a harder look.‎ ‎32. What makes us shocked much at leadership positions?‎ A. Women might behave better in every field.‎ B. Men take almost all high positions.‎ C. There is a huge gap between genders.‎ D. Women are worse than men.‎ ‎33. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word ‘‘inherently” in paragraph 4?‎ A. properly B. naturally C. potentially D. normally ‎34. Which of the following may be the best title of this text?‎ A. How We Can Figure Out The Boss. B. Why Women Are Better Than Men.‎ C. Why Women Make The Best Bosses. D. How We Can Tell Gender Difference.‎ ‎35. Who might have special interest in this article?‎ A. Job hunters. B. Employers. C. Employees. D. Male bosses.‎ 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。‎ ‎ 36 When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture.‎ ‎ For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”‎ ‎ This guy’s a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. 37 ‎ ‎ He didn’t say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they ‎ are just dishonest.‎ ‎ 38 Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents says, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true. However, an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”‎ ‎ Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. 39 An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.‎ ‎ This kind of deception happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: 40 ‎ A. He’s really a big loser!‎ B. Some politicians often use this trick.‎ C. Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.‎ D. Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive(欺骗)?‎ E. Half truths are aimed at economic and social science academics ‎ F. It’s against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with truth.‎ G. When it comes to advertisements, we must all use our intelligence and not be a slave to them!‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用 （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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Then the landlord began examining the house. He and she were going to 41 ,so it was obvious that they wouldn’t continue 42 the house any more. After checking, the landlord screamed, “The walls are full of nails! 43 could I rent the house to others?” He said, “The room is too 44 . So we could only hang things on the walls.” The landlord did not listen to him and turned around up to the ‎ floor. She began 45 her familiar room. Four years ago, she became his bride here.

She sprang from the seat and shouted, “Stop pulling the nails! We will only 52 after we buy our own!” He looked at her with great 53 , and then turned round, 54 over his face. She finally came to 55 that marriage was like a wall and that all 56 and “cold wars” were like the nails on the wall. When all the nails were removed, only a wall full of holes would be left. But if all the nails were 57 in their own places，the wall remained reliable. But in the past，what she saw was only those nails. They hung all the things back to the wall. He asked her, “Are you really willing to lead a 58 life with me?” She 59 the ashes on hands and looked at those things 60 , saying, “Yes! For me, it is not a suffering to live.”‎ ‎41.

All of the students were excited. We looked forward to the next sports meeting in our school.‎
