What does the underlined word " spot-on" in Paragraph 2 mean？ ______ ‎ A. Successful． B. True． C. Absurd． D. Uncertain．‎ 1. Why is the year 2018 called the Year of Birds？ ______ ‎ A. To introduce a wide diversity of birds． B. To show concern over birds' disappearance． C. To draw public attention to decreasing bird species． D. To examine the environmental influences on birds．‎ 2. What can we know about National Geographic？ ______ ‎ A. It focuses more on birds than other creatures． B. It offers sums of money to research on birds． C. It's the last connection between man and nature． D. It's popular with famous biologists and authors．‎ 3. What is the best title for the text？ ______ ‎ A. This Is Why Birds Are Key to Conservation B. Birds Play a Key Role in the Natural World C. Biologists Devote Themselves to Bird Protection D. It Is High Time to Take Care of the Big Problems D Water， or rather the lack of it， is one of the most pressing issues of our times． Given that agriculture is the largest single user of freshwater， providing farmers with new conservation techniques would go a long way． It turns out that a "miracle" power called Solid Rain has been helping farmers do exactly that for over a decade! Farmers can simply mix the power in the soil， plant the crops as he or she normally would， and add water． Solid Rain absorb the liquid and keep it under the plant， creating an underground water "lake" for the plant's roots to draw upon as needed． As a result， farmers do not have to water crops as often． A season-long study showed that farmers using the power were able to increase their crop output by an ‎ average of 300 percent． Solid Rain also received the 2013 "Ecology and Environment Award" from Mexico's Foundation． So why isn't Solid Rain a household name？ First of all， though the product has been around for over a decade， the company did a poor job at marketing it and instead relied on farmers to help spread the word． Also， Solid Rain was not approved for sale in the United States until a few years ago． As a result， many US farmers have either not heard of it or haven't yet felt the need for a water-saving product． The reason for the slower than expected demand could also be due to the fact that not all experts are sold on the idea． They say that there is no scientific proof that Solid Rain stores water or that it remains in the ground for up to a decade． The company says while Solid Rain began as a way to aid drought-stricken farmers， it can be used even when water is not a concern． Their new goal is to "save water for future generations， one drop at a time．"‎ 1. What can we infer about Solid Rain？ ______ ‎ A. It can absorb and store water． B. It is similar to ice in appearance． C. It should be placed on the soil． D. It can turn into water when needed．‎ 2. How did the company advertise Solid Rain？ ______ ‎ A. Through TV advertisement． B. By doing experiments in public． C. By giving away free Solid Rain． D. Through the user's recommendation．‎ 3. Why can't Solid Rain be widely used in the USA？ ______ ‎ A. Its production is so small． B. The government still forbids its use now． ‎ C. Some experts doubt its effect． D. Farmers don't believe its effect．‎ 1. What does the company plan to do next according to the text？ ______ ‎ A. Use Solid Rain to change the climate． B. Apply Solid Rain in daily life to save water． C. Develop other products similar to Solid Rain． D. Begin using Solid Rain to help drought-stricken farmers．‎ 二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10分）‎ The Struggles of the Highly Intelligent People Most people regard highly intelligent people as super humans． Yet， the reality is quite different． (1) If you're a highly intelligent person， these struggles and the lack of understanding from peers can leave you feeling lonely． In order to help you feel acknowledged and understood， here are some of your most common struggles． •(2) ． It can be quite a challenge for you to be involved in small talk about ordinary things． This is because your brain is full of great ideas． Topics that interest you likely include science， art， philosophy ，and those are rarely found in small talk． • Your job can easily bore you． The need for your brain to be constantly challenged with new greater ideas and projects can turn your once exciting job into ordinary and boring， as you exhaust all ways to be creative with it． (3) ． • You sometimes have action numbness． It's hard to be a thinker in a world that appreciates action more than great ideas． (4) ， you may at times be missing the action urge． Unfortunately， people tend to mistake this quality as laziness which leaves you feeling under-appreciated． • It's hard for you to fall in love． (5) Since you're much more cautious， analytical and independent， you tend to get mistaken for cold and high maintenance． However difficult your daily struggles may seem， you don't need to let them prevent you from growing． Go your own way! ‎ ‎ A． Small talk exhausts you B． Small talk is of no benefit to you C． As you're too consumed with different ideas D． They can also encounter numbers of difficulties E． Finally， your quest for love is slightly more demanding F． And your boss isn't so sympathetic but just wants the job done G． They struggle with issues somewhat different than those of the rest of the world 1. ‎ A.

was one of the reasons why I rarely did well in school． Once I failed in a mid-term exam． When I got the papers， I realized things could have been better if I∧ listened to the teacher much more  attentive． So I turned to my teacher for  helps and he told me， "Where there is a will， there is a way． If you are devoted to  learn Chinese， you'll make it．" I couldn't agree  much． From then on，‎ ‎ I began to work harder． Out of my expectation， I made great progress soon． Today， Chinese is  which my strength lies． And I'm grateful  for my Chinese teacher． 详解： 1．去掉the．考查冠词．语言Chinese前不加冠词． 2．Be改为Being．考查非谓语动词．做句子one of the reasons why I rarely did well in school的主语，用动名词Being afraid of expressing myself． 3． me改为myself．此处表示"害怕表达我自己是我在学校学不好的一个原因"，因此要把me改为myself． 4．listened前加had．考查虚拟语气．本句表示"我意识到如果我听老师更细心的话，事情会更好．"，所以这是表示跟过去事实相反的虚拟条件句，所以从句的谓语动词用过去完成时态，因此 listened前加had． 5．attentive改为attentively．考查副词．修饰动词  listened to the teacher 用副词  attentively． 6．helps改为help．考查名词． help在这句子里做名词，是不可数名词，所以不能用复数． 7．learn改为learning．考查动名词．be devoted to doing sth．意为"致力于做某事"，to是介词，因此要用动名词作宾语． 8．much改为more．考查固定短语．表示"我非常同意"，用固定短语I couldn't agree  more． 9．which改为where．考查名词性从句引导词．句意：现在，语文是我的强项，这里是一个表语从句，结合语境及句意可知要用where来引导该从句． 10．for改为to．考查介词．表示"对某人感激"，用be grateful to sb． ‎ ‎【解析】本文主要讲的是我小的时候，语文成绩很差．一次期中考试没考好．当我拿到试卷的时候，我意识到如果我更细心听课的话，事情会更好．于是我求助于我的老师，他告诉我，"有志者事竟成．如果你专心学汉语，你一定会成功的．"从那以后，我开始更加努力地学习，很快取得了进步．
