I don’t talk about how my name was changed at least three times, what it was like to live in my van(箱式货车), or how I've struggled with anxiety, depression, and wanting to kill myself．But I learned to start speaking up for myself．I went on to earn two graduate degrees and I will complete my Doctor’s degree this year．I've also become a widely published author．So，how did I get to where I am today?‎ What’s helped me is surrounding myself with caring, loving people. I've learned day-to-day skills through research, trial and error, and with the help of skilled professionals. They’ve taught me how to slow down，to breathe，to be thankful for what I've got．They’re the ones who make my goals possible．They have also taught me to turn my past experiences into strength-to make the negatives into positives．‎ My hope is that sharing my story might help others to see what is possible even in the darkest of times and help others to speak out．I don’t think I'm in any way special or unique. I'm a common man，no more deserving than anyone else．But for far too long，I've been afraid that others think I'm damaged goods．I've worried about how I might be treated differently．‎ Pain and fear teach us to be silent．It’s time for that to change．‎ I don’t know what tomorrow might bring．But one thing I've learned is that if we can hold on and find help，if we find ways to get through the day and speak up，we’11 not only survive，but become stronger than before．‎ Our very survival can be an inspiration all on its own．And with love of my friends，I look forward to so much more than completing my education—I look forward to the future．‎ ‎24. Which might not be related to the author’s childhood?‎ A. Depression B．Disappointment C．Desperation D．Trust 25. How did the writer get today’s success?‎ A. With the help of his parents． ‎ B. Learning by himself． ‎ C. Holding on and finding help from others． ‎ D. Being special and talented．‎ 26. What’s the author’s purpose of sharing his story?‎ ‎ A．To become stronger than before．‎ B．To encourage others to make the most of their dark times of life．‎ ‎ C．To become a better publisher．‎ D．To change the ways to speak up．‎ ‎27．What can we learn from the author’s experience? ‎ A．We should overcome the difficulty depending on ourselves． ‎ B．We should keep silent when meeting pain and fear． ‎ C. Managing to survive when in trouble can make us stronger．‎ D．Our childhood 1ife decides our future．‎ C ‎ Nowadays it’s believed that the largest contributors to air pollution are gasoline vehicles. They not only give off harmful gases but also dangerous and heavy metal particles（微粒） that can result in ‎ environmental dangers. We can’t stop using vehicles and thus stop air pollution right away. However, at least we can look for better replacements so that air pollution can be reduced. According to studies, hydrogen （氢）cars prove to be a better replacement for traditional cars.‎ ‎ A hydrogen car is a vehicle that uses hydrogen as fuel for its engine to work. There are two types of hydrogen cars. The first one is to use hydrogen as a fuel, and the second one is to use hydrogen fuel cells（电池） to provide power for the car. Hydrogen and oxygen react chemically with each other to produce electricity, thus starting the car.‎ ‎ There are many advantages of hydrogen cars. For example, hydrogen is available in plenty. Therefore, you needn’t worry about a lack of hydrogen. More importantly, no harmful gases are released as by-products .The only by-products are water and a little amount of heat so air pollution is prevented up to a large extent.‎ ‎ However, there are also some problems with hydrogen cars. For instance, in case of damage, the cost of repairing and replacing fuel cells is high. Worse still, hydrogen is a material which can burn easily, so it can result in a huge explosion of the car.‎ ‎ The concept of hydrogen cars is relatively new for most people. Research is still in progress to reduce disadvantages and increase advantages. Therefore, hydrogen cars are expected to contribute their bit towards making this planet better and healthier!‎ ‎28. The main purpose of the passage is to tell readers_____________.‎ A. a new type of cars. B. to stop air pollution right away.‎ C. the weaknesses and strengths of hydrogen cars. D. the reasons for air pollution.‎ ‎29. Which isn’t the by-product made by gasoline cars?‎ A. Carbon monoxide. B. Hydrogen.‎ C. Heavy mental particles. D. Harmful gases ‎30. The author may disagree___________‎ ‎ A. Hydrogen is easy to burn. B. There is no chance that we quit using cars.‎ ‎ C. Hydrogen can be used as fuel for the engine of traditional cars.‎ ‎ D. Hydrogen cars produce water and a little amount heat as by-products, thus reducing air pollution. ‎ ‎31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?‎ A. Hydrogen cars have been put into use. B. Hydrogen cars have a long way to go.‎ ‎ C. The concept of hydrogen cars is relatively new for most people. ‎ ‎ D. Hydrogen cars made contributions to making this planet better and healthier.‎ D Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.‎ Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life, “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.‎ In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.‎ Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,” said the 30-year-old man.‎ Richardson‎ describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”, which “makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything”. He said, “The feeling of having overcome something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I’m dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”‎ The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said, “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”‎ ‎32. Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?‎ A. Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.‎ B. It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.‎ C. It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.‎ D. Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.‎ ‎33. Traveling alone is challenging because ________.‎ A. you have to make things on your own B. it is hard for you to prove yourself to others C. you can only depend on yourself whatever happens D. it will finally build your character ‎34. What can we infer about Chris Richardson?‎ A. He started traveling alone at an early age. B. He was once shot in the arm.‎ C. He used to work as a salesman. D. His website inspires others a lot.‎ ‎35. What is the best title for the passage?‎ A. Travel Abroad B. Travel Alone C. Travel Light D. Travel Wide and Far 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。‎ If you work hard to have a positive attitude, you might be surprised by how much better you feel about yourself and life in general. 36 The less stress you feel, the better you will feel generally. So if you’ve been feeling tired, think about the good, put on a happy face and you just might feel better soon.‎ ‎ But how can you have a positive attitude when life is hard? It’s more than just turning life’s lemons into lemonade. 37 But it’s worth it. Here are some ways you can develop and maintain(保持)a positive attitude even in the midst of life’s troubles.‎ ‎ 38 It just means being an optimist and looking for the good in things, rather than being a pessimist(悲观者) and focusing on the bad in things. Sometimes your view can make all the difference in the world.‎ ‎ Identify(确认) those areas of your life that might not be going so well. 39 Focus on one area at a time and think of ways you can find the positive in them. ‎ ‎ Smile and laugh! Yes, it can be that simple. Learn to love life, no matter what’s going on. Smile at others and they will smile back at you. 40 Sometimes laughter really is the best medicine.‎ ‎ Exercise！Get off the couch and get moving. Being active and healthy can give you a completely different attitude to life.‎ A. Have fun and find the humor in life.‎ B. You may find it hard to stay positive in your life.‎ C. Having a positive attitude can take some hard work.‎ D. A positive attitude doesn’t mean taking no notice of life’s troubles.‎ E. Having a positive attitude can also reduce your stress level.‎ F. These are the areas likely to make you think negative thoughts.‎ G. Go to bed earlier so you get the sleep you need to feel positive.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（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，掌握其大意，然后从41-60各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D ‎）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项涂黑。‎ Mrs. Jones was over eighty, but she still drove her old car like a woman half her age.
