It all started with a Facebook post. On the morning of March 3, Laura Wolf was eating breakfast at the Waffle House in La Marque when she overheard an older man, who reminded her of her late father, tell Williams he had trouble with his hands. The man, later identified as regular customer Adrien Charpentier, had an oxygen tank nearby and needed help cutting up his food. “Without hesitation,” Wolf wrote, Williams “took his plate and began ‎ cutting up his ham.”‎ Impressed, Wolf posted the moment on her Facebook page to share the warmth and kindness with all. The following day, Williams’s Facebook notification（关注）began to light up. Her friends saw Wolf’s post and tracked her in it.‎ Williams had no idea that someone took a photo that morning. The diner was so busy that a line extended outside the door. She said helping Charpentier was reflexive. She has been working at Waffle House since last June to save for college, and this, she figured, was just the right thing to do. “I would want someone to help my grandmother or grandfather,” Williams said.‎ The post began to make its rounds in La Marque and eventually landed in front of the city’s mayor, Bobby Hocking. He decided to declare March 8 as Williams’s day, and also received an email from Texas Southern University President Austin A.Lane, asking if the school could present Williams with a scholarship.‎ Williams still works at Waffle House five days a week and plans to do so until she starts classes in the fall at Houston-based Texas Southern. Wolf said Williams does not have a car to get to classes, but some people have offered to start a GoFundMe page for her, proving that a moment of a kindness can change a life.‎ ‎21.Why did Wolf post the photo on Facebook?‎ A. The photo reminded her of her late father. B. It could satisfy her inner needs.‎ C. She was touched by the sight. D. The customer had trouble with his hands.‎ ‎22.What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 probably mean?‎ A. Without a second thought. B. After careful consideration.‎ C. Winning a reward. D. Better serving customers.‎ ‎23.What can we infer about Evoni Williams?‎ A. She seldom saw Charpentier come to the House for breakfast.‎ B. It was GoFundMe page that led to her good luck.‎ C. She is no longer working in service business.‎ D. She has probably received a scholarship for her college education.‎ ‎24.What is the author’s purpose of writing the article?‎ A. To help Williams receive higher education.‎ B. To introduce a random act of kindness.‎ C. To show that young generation can always help.‎ D. To emphasize the influence of the social media.‎ B Years ago, students applying to colleges and universities had to have their applications and personal essays printed out and then “snail-mailed”. Flash forward to today’s world of Facebook, Instagram and WeChat, where photos, videos and mobile phones rule. Fortunately, several new tools are making it easier for college applicants to use technology to show off their personalities, skills and creativity.‎ ZEEMEE One of the more popular innovations in college applications is ZeeMee, a free mobile app that allows students to upload personal profiles and videos to create visual resumes. More than 220 colleges and universities offer a ZeeMee option as part of the application process. The video can show the unique creative aspects of the applicants.‎ THE COALITION LOCKER Another relatively new tool comes from the Coalition for Access, Affordability and Success, now used by more than 110 member colleges and universities. Among the group’s stated goals are getting students engaged in college prep early and using technology to create a supportive application process that encourages reflection and self-discovery.‎ Students who sign up for the free platform get access to a digital “locker”, which they can use all through high school to save class papers, artwork, newspaper stories, videos and photos to share with colleges when they eventually apply.‎ VIDEO — CHAT INTERVIEWS At some schools, an interview with an admission officer is an important part of the application process. To make it easier, several virtual interviewing tools have popped up, such as a video-based platform from Kira. More than 140 universities worldwide use Kira’s video assessment tool to conduct real-time interviews with prospective students. During the interview, candidates are shown the questions prerecorded by the particular school and must respond in real time by talking into the camera on their laptop or phone. In addition to showing their ability, to speak fluently in English and think on their feet, it helps admission officers determine the ‎ “motivation, commitment and drive” of applicants.‎ UNIQUE SCHOOL TOOLS Some universities have come up with their own ways to allow students to show their skills and personalities. For example, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, encourages applicants to display their technical abilities and creativity by submitting a “Maker Portfolio” —a written or videotaped description of a project that shows creative and problem-solving skills. While a new app would fit the bill, the project could be anything from an origami design to a potato cannon.‎ ‎25.Which of the apps give students more guidance from their high school?‎ A. ZEEMEE. B. THE COALITION LOCKER.‎ C. VIDEO — CHAT INTERVIEWS. D. UNIQUE SCHOOL TOOLS.‎ ‎26.What does the underlined word “it” in the fourth part of the passage refer to?‎ A. The video interview. B. The description.‎ C. The application. D. The student’s ability.‎ ‎27.What is the common feature required by colleges and universities according to the passage?‎ A. Creativity. B. Braveness.‎ C. Willingness to share. D. Technical ability.‎ C Long before they can actually speak, babies pay special attention to the speech they hear around them. Within the first month of their lives, babies’ responses to the sound of the human voice will be different from their responses to other sorts of hearing stimulation. They will stop crying when they hear a person talking, but not if they hear a bell or the sound of a rattle. At first, the sounds that a baby notices might be only those words that receive the heaviest emphasis and that often occur at the ends of utterances(讲话，说话). By the time they are six or seven weeks old, babies can detect the difference between syllables pronounced with rising and falling tones. Very soon, these differences in adult stress and intonation can influence babies’ emotional states and behavior. Long before they develop actual language comprehension, babies can sense when an adult is happy or angry, attempting to begin or end new behavior, and so on, merely on the basis of clues such as the rate, volume, and melody of adult speech.‎ Adults make it as easy as they can for babies to pick up a language by exaggerating(夸张) such clues. One researcher observed babies and their mothers in six diverse cultures and found ‎ that, in all six languages, the mothers used simplified utterances and nonsense sounds, and transformed certain sounds into baby talk. Other researchers have noted that when mothers talk to babies who are only a few months old, they exaggerate the pitch, loudness, and intensity of their words. They also exaggerate their facial expressions, hold vowels(元音) longer, and emphasize certain words.‎ More significant for language development than their response to general intonation is observation that tiny babies can make relatively fine distinctions between speech sounds. In other words, babies enter the world with the ability to make those precisely perceptual（知觉的，感性的） recognition that are necessary if they are to acquire listening language.‎ Babies obviously obtain pleasure from sound input, too: even as young as nine months they will listen to songs or stories, although the words themselves are beyond their understanding. For babies, language is a sensory-motor delight rather than the route to boring meaning that it often is for adults.‎ ‎28.The author mentions syllables with rising and falling tones to .‎ A. show how difficult it is for babies to interpret emotions B. provide an example of ways adults speak to babies C. give a reason for babies’ difficulty in telling one adult from another D. show a six-week-old baby can already tell some language differences ‎29.What can be inferred about the findings described in Paragraph 2?‎ A. Mothers from different cultures speak to their babies in similar ways.‎ B. Babies ignore facial expressions in understanding listening language.‎ C. The mothers were unconsciously teaching their babies to speak.‎ D. Mothers only exaggerate their tones when talking to babies.‎ ‎30.Why do babies listen to songs and stories, even if they can’t understand?‎ A. They understand the rhythm. B. They enjoy the sound.‎ C. They can remember them easily. D. They focus on the meaning.‎ ‎31.What’s the main idea of the passage?‎ A. Babies can detect sounds other than the human voice.‎ B. Babies’ ways to learn a language differ from adults’.‎ C. Babies can respond to the speech before they can speak.‎ D. Babies can tell the sound of the human voice from other sounds.‎ D A billionaire has recently made one of the biggest charitable（慈善的）donations to a university in China’s history. Chen Tianqiao donated $115 million to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to help advanced brain research. The donation will be spent deepening the understanding of how the brain works. Chen has been interested to brain research, believing it can shape the industries such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality. However, this huge donation has caused heated discussing among Chinese scholars and internet users alike.‎ Many criticized him for choosing to give money to a foreign university rather than home institutes for brain research, which are developing fast and are on track to catch up with the US in just a few years. Rao Yi, a biologist at Peking University, even said the donation was a typical mistake.‎ Others, however, support his choice. They believe Caltech is a more reasonable choice compared to Chinese research institutions. Caltech has a long history and has taken a leading position in biology, and therefore it produces more efficient results. In addition, the results of the research benefit not only the American people, but also the rest of the world.‎ A similar controversial case started two years ago when Pan Shiyi, chairman of SOHO China, donated $15 million to Harvard University to help disadvantaged Chinese students.‎ Many believe that China is still behind in the management and use of donated money, and that as a result, Chinese charity donators are looking abroad. In comparison, Western countries like the US, which have a long history of donating money, have well-developed systems that use money efficiently. They can also provide full access for donors who want to track the use of the money. To get more donations, Chinese universities should be braver and more honest. They need self-reflection, rather than envy.‎ ‎32.Why did Chen’s donation draw criticism?‎ A. It was not given to a Chinese university.‎ B. It was one of the largest to Caltech.‎ C. It was not used efficiently in the USA.‎ D. It was used in brain research.‎ ‎33.What is the reason for some people in favor of Chen’s choice?‎ A. The Chinese are just too envious B. The achievements will benefit the whole world C. Caltech is a university with a longer history D. The fund can help disadvantaged Chinese students ‎34.What is then author’s purpose to mention Pan Shiyi in the passage?‎ A. To suggest the enthusiasm of the billionaires B. To show off generosity of the billionaires C. To inform Chinese students are poor at academy D. To stress the disagreement over donating abroad.‎ ‎35.What does the author think of the Chinese universities should do to get more fund?‎ A. explore artificial intelligence B. develop efficient systems C. grow fast and catch up with the US D. educate more honest graduates 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。‎ Life is kind of like a party. You invite a lot of people, some leave early, some stay all night, some laugh with you, some laugh at you, and some show up really late. But in the end, after the fun, there are a few who stay to help you clean up the mess. And most of the time, they aren’t even the ones who made the mess. 36. They are the ones who matter most. Here are four things real friends do differently:‎ They face problems together. A real friend is someone who sees the pain in your eyes while everyone else still believes the smile on your face. 37. Just look for someone who will face them with you.‎ ‎38. Your word means everything. If you say you’re going to do something, DO IT! If you say you’re going to be somewhere, BE THERE! If you say you feel something, MEAN IT! If you can’t, won’t, and don’t, then DON’T LIE. Real friends keep promises and tell the truth upfront.‎ They accept each other. Trying to change a person never works. A real friend is someone who truly knows you and loves you just the same. 39. Be yourself and people will love the real you. If you feel like changing something about your friend, ask yourself what change you can make in yourself instead.‎ They support each other’s growth changes. Our needs change with time. When someone says, “You’ve changed,” it’s not always a bad thing. 40.Don’t apologize for it. Instead, be open and sincere, explain how you feel, and keep doing what you know in your heart is right,‎ A. They keep their promises.‎ B. No one is happy all the time.‎ C. They make time for each other.‎ D. Don’t change so that people will like you.‎ E. Sometimes it just means you’ve grown.‎ F. These people are your real friends in life.‎ G. Don’t look for someone who will solve all your problems.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完型填空（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四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上涂黑。‎ At the age of sixteen, I went on my first volunteer project with Dad in West Virginia.
