You must also commit to the adventure.Just have faith in the skills and the knowledge you've been blessed with and go.‎ ‎●J.K.Rowling,Harvard University Half my lifetime ago,I was striking an uneasy balance between my ambition and the expectation from my parents who were not rich...But what I feared most for myself at your age was not poverty,but failure.The fact that you are graduating from Harvard suggests that you know ‎ little about failure,you might be driven by a fear of failure quite as much as a desire for success.‎ ‎●Steve Jobs,Stanford University Sometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a brick.Don't lose faith...Your work is going to fill a large part of your life,and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work,and the only way to do great work is to love what you do.If you haven't found it yet,keep looking,and don't settle.‎ ‎●Bill Gates,Harvard University We need as many people as possible to have access to the advanced technology to lead to a revolution in what human beings can do for one another.They are making it possible not just for national governments,but for universities,smaller organizations,and even individuals to see problems,see approaches and deal with the world's inequities（不公平）like hunger,poverty,and so on.‎ ‎21.What Michael Dell said is to urge us to .‎ A.listen to our heart B.pursue our dreams C.follow others' example D.learn from our mistakes ‎22.What did J.K.Rowling fear most when she was studying in university?‎ A.Poverty. B.Hunger. C.Failure. D.Appearance.‎ ‎23.Who wants to express "Keep looking for what you believe in"?‎ A.Michael Dell. B.J.K.Rowling. C.Bill Gates. D.Steve Jobs.‎ ‎24.What does Bill Gates suggest people do?‎ A.Make contributions to the environment. B.Take responsibility for their own behavior.‎ C.Make joint efforts to rid some global problems. D.Master as much advanced technology as possible.‎ B Many people in high school cannot wait to go to college and leave their hometowns behind.Questions arise, though,when it comes to all of the decisions involved in choosing a ‎ college.‎ One of the first considerations may be financial.State and public colleges are often the least expensive. Often, though,the better colleges are private and more expensive.It is sad when gifted students cannot attend a college of their choice just for financial reasons.‎ Another major factor is location.Whether the college is in a small town or large city can have a major impact on its activities.A water lover probably will be more comfortable spending four years near an ocean or a lake.Those who cannot tolerate heat will probably be more comfortable at a northern college.‎ School size also plays a major role in the decision process.If you want to get to know your teachers and avoid feeling like just a number,a small college is suitable.For those of you who consider yourself a "people person" and want a wide range of activities,a large college is more fitting.‎ Your area of interest is another factor to consider in the decision-making process if you want to get the most from your education.The whole point of college is to learn what is of interest to you.‎ Finally,one must take into consideration the colleges to which you can realistically be accepted.An Ivy League school for an average student would probably not be a good match.Similarly,an average school for an above-average student would not work well.The college should provide enough of a challenge for the student to work hard. Although there may not be the perfect college out there,there probably will be one that is close.Those who cannot find a suitable college are probably not looking hard enough.‎ ‎25.What's the main idea of the text?‎ A.Procedures of choosing a college. B.Difficulties in attending a school.‎ C.Pros and cons of going to college. D.Considerations in choosing a college.‎ ‎26.We can infer from the passage that .‎ A.an Ivy League school is probably a state college B.a small college may bring you a sense of emptiness C.gifted students are likely to choose private colleges D.an average school isn't suitable for an average student ‎27.A "people person" in Paragraph 4 probably refers to .‎ A.a person who tends to be alone B.a person who is good at sociality C.a person who is afraid of teachers D.a person who is accustomed to a noisy atmosphere ‎28.What does the author think of choosing a college?‎ A.A small college is a better choice for shy students.‎ B.A northern college has a more comfortable climate.‎ C.The location of a college is more important than the size of it.‎ D.You will always find a suitable college if you look hard enough.‎ C In 2000,Suy Senglim met a French journalist who inspired in him an interest in photography.To put this new-found interest to good use,in 2012 he began to take pictures of Cambodia's vast variety of birdlife.‎ Worried by the loss of biodiversity in his hometown of Mukh Kampul in Kandal province,Senglim created a photography project.He carefully documents each new species he photographs: the common name,scientific name,its identifying features,whether the species is endangered or not.Now the 35-year-old aims to educate Cambodians about the importance of bird species and the effect development has on nature.‎ Senglim thinks the biggest issues are damage to habitat and illegal hunting.Through his photography work he has also discovered what makes the problem worse is that there is not enough education and law enforcement. Hunting is at the root of Cambodian culture.Educating Cambodians about the need for conservation is of great importance to Senglim."Education is very limited.And in terms of legal enforcement,only one institution is standing out,and that is Wildlife Alliance,which has conducted a string of successful crackdowns（镇压）so far. However,there are few major campaigns on wildlife hunting as a whole."‎ Senglim is working on a book on 100 significant bird species from some of the 400 species he has so far photographed,which he hopes will be published in early 2018.He says he looks forward to teaching in high schools and colleges to inspire a new generation of nature-lovers."I ‎ think it's time to change the attitude,"he says.‎ ‎29.How did Senglim carry out his photography project?‎ A.By taking more pictures in the wild. B.By improving his photography skills.‎ C.By renewing his interest in loving life. D.By recording new birdlife he photographs.‎ ‎30.What is Senglim's discovery about the wildlife facing greater risks?‎ A.Less development of the wasteland. B.Lack of education and law enforcement.‎ C.Small number of wildlife recorded in Cambodia. D.Fewer campaigns conducted by Wildlife Alliance.‎ ‎31.What does Senglim expect to do in future?‎ A.Strengthen legal enforcement. B.Write more books about photography.‎ C.Change people's attitude to bird species. D.Promote basic education in various schools.‎ D Everyone needs to be safe,loved and to have a sense of belonging.These are inborn and natural basic needs.In an effort to have these needs satisfied,many of us tend to please others.And it works for a while.We find that we experience less conflict with others,but the conflict within ourselves grows.Saying "no" produces feeling of guilt and saying "yes" brings anger.‎ My father was in the military,so we moved frequently.Being shy,I didn't make friends.What's more,I grew up in a household where grades,image and how others saw our family were very important.In our household a "C" was unacceptable,a "B" should have been an "A" and an "A" meant the lesson was too easy.I was too skinny,my sister was too fat and my brother's lips and ears were too big for his tiny head.‎ To stop pleasing others is easier said than done.It's a long process,one in which I am consistently working to perfect.The turning point for me came shortly after I got married.The very first thing we did to end the cycle of catering to others was develop our own identity as individuals and then as a couple.And then we developed a strong set of core（核心）values and a vision for our future.The third and one of the most valuable things we did during this process was develop our own personal influence on others and we valued deeply the opinions of the wiser and ‎ more successful people around us.‎ Besides,we should understand that sometimes helping people actually hurts them.Struggle is necessary to success.Struggle strengthens character,making people determined.So sometimes allowing people to struggle is the best thing you can do for them.‎ ‎32.How are we likely to feel when pleasing others?‎ A.Satisfied. B.Angry. C.Happy. C.Guilty.‎ ‎33.What can we infer from the author's experience as a child?‎ A.He grew up doing a lot of housework. B.It was hard for him to adjust to the moving life.‎ C.He realized the value of opinions from others. D.His parents had great expectations of the children.‎ ‎34.What is the third paragraph mainly about?‎ A.What steps the author took to go on pleasing others.‎ B.How the author stepped out of the cycle of pleasing others.‎ C.Why the author further developed his values and character.‎ D.When the author turned to others for their valuable opinions.‎ ‎35.What does the author suggest doing?‎ A.Helping others without delay. B.Refusing to help others.‎ C.Thinking twice before offering help. D.Leaving someone alone in trouble.‎ 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。‎ Traveling is a very enjoyable experience as it provides an opportunity to see new things._36_The following article discusses the advantages of traveling.‎ Traveling gives you the opportunity to disconnect from your regular life.People all have crazy schedules,work and a family to take care of,and traveling alone or with some friends can give you distance and perhaps even make you realize how important these people are to you._37_Another great benefit is the relaxation you get._38_When you come back you feel energetic and you are happy to be back to your daily routine.‎ ‎_39_They will create a bond that nothing can erase no matter what happens to the friendship.You can create photo albums and when you feel nostalgic（怀旧的）you can experience the trips again by looking at your pictures.‎ It's never been this cheap to travel.With increasing oil prices,cheap travels might be coming to an end._40_With the Internet and all the new technology,you can plan your trip exactly the way you want it. You can choose your budget,the duration of the trip and what you want to do.‎ A.It's nice to enjoy a stress-free time.‎ B.As the saying goes,you never know what you have until you lose it.‎ C.When traveling with friends or family it creates memories of a lifetime.‎ D.Discovering different values and ways to get by in life is really interesting.‎ E.Going on a trip means that you are most likely going to spend time outside.‎ F.However,there are still many budget airlines fighting for your dollars right now.‎ G.There are many benefits other than enjoying yourself that can be realized when you travel.‎ 笫三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ After working one day,I decided to take hold of a sandwich for dinner at the superstore.As I was_41_home,I saw a girl sitting against a pillar（支柱）in the_42_,her hair covered over her face and her body was_43_than a senior citizen.
