He said, “Donuts (炸面圈饼) with Dad.” It was an event being held by the school to honor close fatherchild relationship. But Vazquez, who is a single parent, did not want her son to be left out from the event. Instead, she and Elijah drove home so that she could change her appearance. “I know seeing other dads with their kids isn't easy for mine but it's life; at least I can do whatever it takes to put a smile on that face，” wrote Vazquez in the post.‎ The post has received more than 18,000 reactions. One user called Ceci Solis wrote, “Tears are coming down my face.” She added, “It's hard not having a dad to do that. It's just amazing.” Another named Mozar E Lucy DePaula said, “You are an amazing mom. I was a single mom, so I know what it takes us to do anything to see a smile on our kids' faces. You are the best and keep up. God bless you and your son.” Several called for her to be crowned “Mother of the Year”．‎ ‎21．According to the text, Elijah is ________.‎ A．old enough to live alone.

Here are some important ways to improve your spoken English.‎ When you have time to speak, just try your best to practice. Don’t wait until you “feel more comfortable” speaking in English, so start speaking English today. You’ll be surprised at how quickly your language skills improve. Find a native English speaker who is willing to spend some time speaking English with you—you may be able to offer them a language exchange, where they spend 30 minutes speaking English with you and you spend 30 minutes speaking your native language with them.‎ Even if you have a good knowledge of the grammar and vocabulary, native English speakers may find it’s very difficult to understand if you don’t work on your pronunciation. Correct , clear pronunciation is necessary if you really want to improve your English. Listen closely to how native English speakers pronounce certain words and sounds and do your best to copy them.‎ The wider your vocabulary and the more English phrases you learn, the easier speaking English will become. Once you have learned a new word or phrase, you should make an effort to use it in a sentence—this is the best way to keep it in mind. You should also start a notebook of phrases that English speakers use all the time.‎ Another great way to add some more English conversation into your weekly practice is to sign up for a class of discussion group. Attending an English class is a great way to pay attention to some of the more formal aspects of speaking English. A class will teach you the correct way of speaking. Attending a discussion group is a more informal and relaxed way of learning English, where the emphasis(重点) is more on communication and relationship building than on speaking “correct” English.‎ ‎24. What is the best title of the text?‎ A. Ways‎ of improving your spoken English B. English is an excellent language to learn C. English is useful for business and travels D. How to learn English grammar clearly ‎25. The writer suggested people start practicing when________.‎ A. they feel comfortable B. they meet the surprising thing C. they improve their language skills D. they have any time ‎26. What is the best way to improve the pronunciation?‎ A. Just remember the grammar. B. Make sure how words are read and copy them.‎ C. Try the best to remember the spelling of the words.‎ D. Speak English when you “feel more comfortable”.‎ ‎27. We can learn from the passage that_________. ‎ A. it’s not necessary to find a native English speaker with whom you can practice speaking English B. native English speakers can understand you easily if you have a good knowledge of grammar and vocabulary C. Using a new word or phrase in a sentence is the best way to memorize it ‎ D. An English party is a good place where you can learn the correct way of speaking C On May 14th, 2016, three foreigners saved a drowning(溺水的)Chinese girl.‎ Roman and Krill are Russian first-year college students. That Saturday, they were standing by the river near Shanghai Jianqiao University with their teacher, Bastien, a teacher from France at Jianqiao University. Then they saw someone “swimming”.‎ The three said the “swimmer” seemed to be drowning. They rushed to help, though they didn’t hear any cries, and found a girl in the water.‎ Roman jumped into the water at once. He swam to the girl and quickly caught her arm. Then Krill came to Roman and held his hand. Bastien held on to the bank with one hand, while holding Krill with the other hand.“The girl almost pulled us into the water as she tried so hard to get out of the water,” said Bastien.‎ A video showed that the rescue took less than five minutes. But it was really dangerous.‎ The girl, 17 ,was a student from a nearby school. The three heroes spent some time with her to make sure she was safe and not hurt. Then the girl was sent to the international students’ apartment of Shanghai Jianqiao University. Roman, one of the Russian students, later found he was injured in the back during the rescue. His cellphone also broke after being in the water. Students and teachers at Jianqiao University quickly heard the news. They were all proud of them. The three men also received some money as a reward from the girl’s parents on Monday.‎ Thanks to the three brave men, the girl didn’t lose her life. The three heroes have been called foreign “LeiFeng”.‎ ‎28. What can we learn about the three heroes from the text?‎ A. Two of them are Russians. B. They are college teachers.‎ C. One of them is from England. D. They are from three different schools.‎ ‎29. Before the rescue, the three men________.‎ A. heard a cry for help B. didn’t know exactly what the situation(情形)was C. didn’t know each other D. were standing by the river with many other people ‎30. What happened during the rescue?‎ A. Roman was closest to the girl. B. The girl couldn’t move.‎ C. Krill held the girl’s arm. D. Bastien was the farthest from the bank.‎ ‎31. What happened after the rescue?‎ A. The girl was sent to a hospital. B. The girl was found hurt but not seriously.‎ C. Roman couldn’t find his cellphone. D. The girl’s parents rewarded the three men.‎ ‎ D ‎ In our daily life, it is necessary to make small talk in some situations. It helps to fill time between people when it is very quiet. You may not feel like talking with someone else or you are very shy at the beginning, but it is sometimes thought to be not polite to say nothing.‎ People use small talk almost every day. It usually takes place when you meet someone you don’t know at all or someone you’re not familiar with. For example, waiters and hairdressers often make small talk with their customers（顾客）. If you happen to be outside when the postman comes to your door, you might make small talk with him, too.‎ Most often, small talk happens in places where people are waiting for something. For example, you might talk with another person who is waiting for the bus to arrive. People also make small talk in a doctor’s waiting room, or when they are waiting in a line to buy something. At the office, people make small talk in lunch rooms, especially if there is a line-up. Mingling is often required（要求）among people who don’t know each other very well at a party. That is to say, they are expected to walk around and talk with others.‎ The most common time for small talk to happen is the first time you see or meet someone on a given day. For example, if you see a neighbor in the waiting room of the airport you might say hello and discuss the sports or weather. However, the next time you see each other you might just smile and say nothing. If there is very little noise, it might be the right time to start a pleasant conversation. If someone is reading a book at the bus stop, it is probably not a good idea to start a conversation. Another good time to make small talk is during a break in a meeting when there is nothing important ‎ going on. However, it is important to recognize the signal when the other person wants the conversation to stop.‎ ‎32. When does small talk most probably happen?‎ A. When reading on a bus. B. When having a meeting.‎ C. When meeting a postman who comes to your door. D. When having a family meal.‎ ‎33. The underlined word “Mingling” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by “________”.‎ A. Honesty B. Conversation C. Understanding D. Politeness ‎34. The third paragraph mainly talks about_________.‎ A. where small talk happens B. how to make small talk C. when to make small talk D. why people make small talk ‎35. The last paragraph is organized mainly by________.‎ A. telling stories B. giving explanations C. discussing questions D. providing examples 第二节 七选五(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。‎ Reasons to Take Part in Student Clubs and Organizations Many college students don't know what they're missing by not taking part in the student clubs and organizations that are offered at most colleges and universities.
