Through the determination of friends, the group has grown bigger and stronger each year. Over the past two years my friend, Alex Auclair, and I have become the leaders of the club.‎ Already, after only two years of fundraising, we have accumulated over three thousand dollars and almost two thousand food items through various fundraising efforts. For example, each year a 24-hour famine (饥饿) is planned resulting in absolutely no consumption (消耗) of food. By taking part in these activities, we put ourselves in the shoes of someone living in poverty.‎ No money raised goes to waste. At the end of each school year, the group takes a vote to determine where our funds will be spent and donated. Last year, we bought enough desks, chairs, supplies and textbooks for every student in a Kenyan school. This year, we plan to spend our earning helping out families in Sierra Leone.‎ Poverty is a worldwide issue affecting the lives of people in not only developing countries, but also first-world countries such as Canada, the United Kingdom and Japan. Living in poverty can result in hunger, many forms of disease, lack of education, and for millions, death. It does not have to be this way. You too can form a club like the Free The Children Club or you can participate in events outside of school. Get your friends, family, even your community involved in fundraising. Do what you can to change the world.‎ ‎21. An annual 24-hour famine is held to ________‎ A. help understand poor people better.‎ B. draw people’s attention to the club.‎ C. call on people not to waste food.‎ D. save food for hungry people.‎ ‎22. How to spend the raised money is based on the opinion of ________.‎ A. the donators B. the fundraisers C. the club leaders D. the majority of the club members ‎23. Why does the author write the text?‎ A. To introduce the Free The Children Club.‎ B. To encourage people to change the world.‎ C. To present the serious outcomes of poverty.‎ D. To show how to help poor people live better.‎ B ‎（河北省邢台市2017-2018学年高二第四次月考）I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer(扫盲志愿者)last summer. The training I received, though excellent, did not tell me how it was to work with a real student. When I began to discover what other people’s lives were like because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading.‎ My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three. In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn't know which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus schedule, she told me it would not help because she could not read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldn't always remember what she needed. Since she did not know words, she could not write out a shopping list. Also, she could only recognize items by sight, so if the product had a different label(标识), she would not recognize it as the product she wanted.‎ As we worked together, learning how to read built Marie's self-confidence, which encouraged her to ‎ continue her studies. She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt. At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son, Tony, a shy first grader, with his reading. As she described this experience, I was proud of myself as well. I found that helping Marie to build herself-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before.‎ As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did.‎ ‎24. According to the text, Marie is a woman who ___________.‎ A. has three sons B. has good memory C. has difficulty in writing D. has difficulty in walking around ‎25. After getting help from the author, Marie felt ____________.‎ A. shy ‎ B. proud C. confident ‎ D. peaceful ‎26. What did the author get through the program?‎ A. Some beautiful presents.‎ B. A sense of achievement.‎ C. More confidence and knowledge.‎ D. More ways to help others.‎ ‎27. What can be the best title for the text?‎ A. A Woman Who Lacked Self-confidence B. The Literacy Volunteer Changed Our Lives C. A Challenge during My Volunteering Work D. The Volunteering Work Benefited Both of Us C ‎（安徽省池州市东至二中2017-2018学年高二12月月考试题）Venom(毒液）from a local scorpion(蝎子）in Cuba is being used by Cuban scientists as an effective weapon to fight cancer. The venom, with stopping pain, anti-inflammatory (炎症） and anti-cancer properties, is the active ingredient in the medicine “Vidatox 30 CH which can be used to treat liver, brain, lung and other cancers. The treatment has been successfully used for more than four years in humans after being first tested in biological models. Labiofam, a Cuban laboratory, has breeding(繁殖)centers for both the Red Scorpion and Blue Scorpion. Each month, some 30,000 scorpions in Las Minas town, 270 km east of Havana are made to give the venom. After two years, the scorpions are released back into their natural habitat.‎ Denyer Sanchez, a biologist from Labiofam, explained that the conditions are adjusted for reproduction, proved by the high number of breeding female scorpions. He said when the offspring(后代）becomes able to live in the environment, we release them because they do not have the necessary size yet to remove their venom, said Sanchez. Sanchez also said that there is still much to research on the exploitation process of scorpions, such as female death rate or the ability to survive of the released scorpions.‎ Cuban research on the scorpion’s venom began at the end of 1980s in Guantanamo province, the island’s eastern tip, where a group of biologists and doctors became interested in the stories told by the peasants about the venom's benefits. However，the first discovery was made by Cuban biologist Misael Bordier. In 2001, Bordier visited Mexico’s National Autonomous University (UNAM) and presented the research progress in a professional journal. Bordier died in 2005, one year before Cuba's Industrial Property Office gave Labiofam the rights to exploit the patent related to the venom.‎ ‎28. How are the scorpions dealt with after their venom has been taken for two years?‎ A. Their bodies are used to make medicines.‎ B. They are bred in the laboratory for research.‎ C. They are raised to give birth to the offspring.‎ D. They are set free into their natural habitat.‎ ‎29. What can we infer from the passage about the research on scorpions?‎ A. The UN provided fund for the research team.‎ B. There is still much to study in detail.‎ C. The achievements will benefit animals.‎ D. Many scientists doubt about the result of the research.‎ ‎30. What can we learn about Bordier in the last paragraph?‎ A. He was given the rights to exploit the patent.‎ B. He began his research at the beginning of the twenty-first century.‎ C. He put forward the research progress in a professional journal.‎ D. He was a peasant who told the stories about the venom’s benefits.‎ ‎31. What does this passage mainly talk about?‎ A. The various uses of scorpions in Cuba.‎ B. Cuban biologists’ research on strange diseases.‎ C. Suitable conditions for Cuban scorpions to breed.‎ D. Cuban scorpion venom’s effect on fighting cancer.‎ D ‎（河南省南阳一中2017-2018学年高二第三次月考）Do you think you would work out more if you were offered money to do so? Science has shown that money can give people motivation to work out, but perhaps not in the way that you think.‎ According to a study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine Journal, the best strategy isn’t offering money; it’s giving someone money, then threatening to take it away.‎ Researchers gave 281 people the goal of walking 7,000 steps every day over 13 weeks.‎ To motivate the people who took part to reach the goal, researchers divided them into three groups.‎ People in the first group received $1,40(9 yuan) each day as long as they finished 7,000 steps, the second group was only able to collect the $1.40 if they had reached 7,000 steps the day before, and the third group was given $42 at the beginning of each month and $1.40 was taken away every time someone failed to meet the goal.‎ The third group met their daily fitness goals 50 percent more often than the other two groups, showing that people were most motivated to walk by the fear of losing money.‎ ‎“People are more motivated by losses than gains, and they like immediate gratification.” study author Dr Mitesh Patel, an assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania in the US, told CNN. “They want to be rewarded today, not next year or far into the future.”‎ Our brains tend to avoid wanting to lose things more than they try to get the benefits from gaining them, Patel explained. “It makes people think like the money is theirs to lose from day one.”‎ In addition, in most programs, many participants will drop out quickly and only the motivated will stay involved, Patel said.‎ ‎“In ours, we were pleasantly surprised that 96 percent stayed.” he added.‎ The study provides evidence that what matters is not only the money incentive （激励）, but also how you think about them. This is important to how effective they are. The evidence could have a big effect on health promotion programs in the future, according to the study.‎ ‎“Incentives themselves are not all you need,” Stephanie Pronk, a health and wellness consultant with the Aonplc corporation, told The Wall Street Journal. “It’s really important to change up the incentive design and keep people on their toes.”‎ ‎32. Acording to Dr Mitesh Patel, the third group did better than the other two groups mostly because______.‎ A. they were satisfied with being paid immediately B. they did not want the money they had gained to be taken away C. they were able to get more money than the other two groups D. they were given money at first while the others were not ‎33. By mentioning other similar programs, Dr Mitesh Patel intended to______.‎ A. prove that their program has been more successful B. show that motivation mattered more in other programs C. stress that they didn’t expert the result D. make a further comparison between these programs ‎34. What can we infer from Stephanie Pronk’s words?‎ A. Incentives are of little importance in the process of getting fit.‎ B. Incentives and ways in which they are given are key to fitness programs.‎ C. People should keep fit actively instead of being motivated by incentives.‎ D. There are many ways to get people to feel motivated to work out more.‎ ‎35. We can learn from the study that for incentives to work______.‎ A. more benefits than losses should be obvious for participants B. direct profits should be given rather than long-term ones C. designers need to consider how people think about incentives D. designers need to work out the right from of motivation 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。 ‎ ‎（福建省霞浦一中2017-2018学年高二第二次月考）Good jobs for Sports If sports are something that appeals to you, it stands to reason that you would do well in them.

If you want to be great at sports, you need to set your aims high. ______36______Instead, you should take a look at what you are, and figure out where you think you would like to be.

We Chinese like to treat our guests with many delicious dishes. When at table, you should not being eating first, but follow the host or the senior one. Sometimes, the host will help you with some dishes, which is different from western traditions, and you should show your appreciation.‎ All in all, just as the old saying goes, “When in Rome, do as Romans do.”‎ I do hope you will enjoy yourself in your teacher’s home.‎ Yours sincerely,‎ Li Hua
