We live on a corner, higher than street level, and the entire side of the yard is surrounded by a professionally built rock wall. The front of the house though is another story because instead of a wall along the sidewalk, the rocks appear to be just thrown up onto the dirt as if someone were in a hurry to finish.‎ We did the best we could with what we had to work with and called this area our “rock garden”. Whenever we had leftover flowers or plants, Denise or I would stick them out front, just to bring some color to the area. We would do all of the yard work on our own, even the tiring weed-pulling. ‎ Last summer I had reached the end of the rock garden and found a tiny - 13 -‎ ‎ little plant that I could not immediately identify, I knew I didn’t plant it and Denise claimed that she didn’t either. We decided to let it continue growing until we could figure out what it was.‎ Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the mystery plant, it appeared to be a Sunflower with a tall skinny stalk(茎，杆) and only one head on it. I decided to baby it along and weed around it. As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I noticed something unusual. The Sunflower had not started where I saw the stalk begin. It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun.‎ That’s when I realized that if a tiny little Sunflower didn’t let a big rock stand in its way of developing, we too have the ability of doing the same thing. Once our environment begins to see that we believe in ourselves like that little Sunflower, we can attain the same nourishment(营养) and growth as well.‎ Stand tall like the Sunflower and be proud of who and what you are and the environment will begin to support you. You will find a way to go under or around your big obstacle in order to reach your desires.‎ ‎21. Why is the front of the house another story according to the author?‎ A. The workers finished it in a hurry.‎ B. There is a wall along the sidewalk.‎ C. The family view it as a rock garden.‎ D. The rocks are piled there at random.‎ ‎22. The author found it unusual that_______.‎ A. the Sunflower grew under and around a big rock B. the Sunflower had a tall stalk and only one head C. the mystery plant turned out to be a Sunflower D. a rock stood in the way of the flower’s growth ‎23. Which of the following best describes the Sunflower?‎ A. Brave and stubborn. B. Confident and persistent.‎ C. Optimistic and modest. D. Mysterious and devoted.‎ - 13 -‎ B It's not uncommon in America for a person to belong to some kind of volunteer group.Donating one's time and services is very much a part of the American way of life.Most charitable activities are organized by churches and groups around the nation and even encouraged by the government.The helping hand is extended to the poor，the homeless and the disabled.Some people work to teach youngsters how to read.Others open up soup kitchens to feed the homeless.Volunteers also take care of the disabled by making reading tapes for the blind and working in orphanages(孤儿院)to help children without parents.‎ High school students are often encouraged to become volunteers and many school club activities center around volunteer services.Students may work with disabled children during a summer program，or participate in a club activity which helps to bring meal to senior citizens who are shutins.With their sense of idealism(理想主义)students are often eager to donate their spare time.They see such activities as a way of becoming involved in the community and the adultworld.Social action for them becomes as important as their academic studies.‎ In a like manner，throughout the year，fund raising drives are also conducted by schools and community groups to raise money for a worthy cause.They may respond to a recent earthquake in a foreign country，a flood somewhere within their own，or another natural disaster which has left people destitute and homeless.They may organize drives to collect food，clothing and medicines to serve an immediate need.Today even the Halloween custom of“trick or treat”has become an occasion to collect money for a charitable cause.‎ This call to help those less fortunate than themselves arises from the humble origins of the American nation.Those immigrants who were poor and downtrodden(受压迫的)became dependent on the kindness of their neighbors to make a new life for themselves.‎ American volunteers work throughout the world in less developed countries.They volunteer by serving as a champion of goodwill both at home and abroad，which no doubt enriches both his life and those whom he serves.‎ ‎24．Which of the following charitable activities is not mentioned in the passage?‎ A．Some people open up soup kitchens to feed homeless people.‎ B．Some students donate books to children in mountainous areas.‎ - 13 -‎ C．Some people collect money to help a foreign country with a recent earthquake.‎ D．Some students bring meals to old people who can't go out easily.‎ ‎25．The underlined word“destitute”in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.‎ A．lifeless B．valueless C．useless D．penniless ‎26．American charitable activities started because ________.‎ A．poor immigrants needed help badly B．Americans are mostly kind C．Americans are always ready to share with others D．poor Americans couldn't live on without help ‎27．What's the best title of the passage?‎ A．The Call from the Poor B．Ways to help the Poor C．Voluntary Work in the US D．American Volunteers Around the World C ‎ Three engineers and three accountants are traveling by train to a conference. At the station, the three accountants each buy tickets and watch as the three engineers buy only a single ticket.‎ ‎“How are three people going to travel on only one ticket？” asks an accountant. “Watch and you'll see，” answers an engineer. They all board the train. The accountants take their respective seats but all three engineers cram into a restroom and close the door behind them.‎ Shortly after the train has departed,_the conductor comes around collecting tickets. He knocks on the restroom door and says, “Ticket, please.” The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand. The conductor takes it and moves on. ‎ The accountants see this and agree it is quite a clever idea. So after the conference, the accountants decide to copy the engineers on the return trip and save some money. When they get to the station they buy a single ticket for the return trip.‎ To their astonishment，the engineers don't buy a ticket at all. How are you going to travel without a ticket？asks one puzzled accountant. “Watch and you'll see，”answers an engineer. When they board the train the three accountants cram into a restroom and the three engineers cram into another one nearby. The train departs.‎ Shortly afterward，one of the engineers leaves his restroom and walks over to the restroom where the accountants are hiding. He knocks on the door and says, “Ticket,‎ - 13 -‎ ‎ please.”‎ ‎28. The three engineers buy only a single ticket because ________.‎ ‎ A. only one of them need buy a ticket ‎ B. the three accountants buy tickets for them ‎ C. they are too poor to buy more tickets ‎ D. they just want to save money ‎29. The underlined word “departed” in the third paragraph means ________.‎ ‎ A. arrived B. separated ‎ C. stopped D. started out ‎30. Which one of the following is TRUE according to this passage?‎ ‎ A.

On the return trip the three accountants buy three tickets again.‎ D. On the return trip the three engineers don't buy any ticket.‎ ‎31．We can infer from the passage that ________.‎ ‎ A. the accountants are not as clever as the engineers ‎ B. the accountants are cleverer than the engineers ‎ C. the engineers are not as clever as the accountants ‎ D. the engineers are as clever as the accountants ‎ D Ever since Donald Trump was elected the next president of the US, the entire Trump family has been put under a microscope. ‎ In China, the spotlight has been mainly focused on Trump and his daughter Ivanka. She is described on WeChat as an extremely influential role model with stunning beauty, a successful career, and a happy family. ‎ She leads a dream life that a million girls would kill for. Yes, she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. But she got where she is by herself.‎ There’s always going to be articles that say people born into wealthy families are better looking and have a better family background than you, but these people do work harder than you. ‎ Are you a loser if you were raised in an ordinary family? Should you feel guilty that you sleep eight hours a day because Ivanka sleeps five? If you - 13 -‎ ‎ just want to keep a stable nine-to-five job, does it mean you are not ambitious? How about if you don’t work out or eat healthy, does that mean you will not find your Mr. or Miss Right?‎ There is a tendency in media nowadays to encourage elitism(精英主义).They are trying to brainwash young people into thinking that they should invest an enormous amount of time and money in bodybuilding and appearance enhancement, even plastic surgery. They encourage lifestyle makeovers: wine tasting classes and expensive trips overseas. They make you believe that if you do as they say, you can improve the quality of your life and join the elites (社会精英).‎ But what’s the downside of being ordinary? Do you really need to go to the gym five days a week unless you are a gym maniac(热衷者)? Do you need to take hundreds of selfies and Photoshop the selected ones to post on WeChat? Do you really need to break your neck and sacrifice to earn your first pot of gold only to worry constantly about how to enter high society later?‎ Don’t let the idea of elitism get to you. Everybody has a right to the life they want. Human beings should not be judged as a success or failure based on whether they are a part of the elite or not. As long as you lead a happy and comfortable life, why bother to chase after other people’s shadows? Choose your own life path and go for it.‎ ‎32. Why does Ivanka become a hit online?‎ A. She lives such a dream life that a million girls would like to kill her.‎ B. She gets what she has through personal efforts despite decent origin.‎ C. She is a virtual role model frequently seen among ordinary people.‎ D. She together with her family is put under careful investigation.‎ ‎33. Which of the following are considered as a life belonging to people of higher social rank?‎ ‎①Polish and post carefully- selected selfies on WeChat;‎ ‎②Break your neck to earn your first pot of gold;‎ - 13 -‎ ‎③Spare no expense to improve physical appearance;‎ ‎④Sign up for wine tasting classes and oversea trips;‎ A. ③④ B. ②④ C.②③ D. ①④‎ ‎34. It can be inferred from the text that ____________.‎ A. Being distinguished is a commonly advocated culture nowadays.‎ B. Keeping a stable nine-to- five job will be thought of as a loser.‎ C. Ivanka sleeping five hours a day makes the vast majority guilty. ‎ D. Improving the quality of life will promote one’s social status.‎ ‎35. Which attitude towards life would the writer probably agree with?‎ A. Life is like a dogsled team. If you aren’t the lead dog, the scenery never changes.‎ B. Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.‎ C. There is only one success — to be able to spend your life in your own way D. The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes.‎ ‎ E I've always wanted to start my own business. I've always wanted to start working for myself. Yet I didn't make that decision. I finally got started instead of thinking about it or putting it off. And I made it. Maybe you've not started on something important to yourself. Maybe you can relate to what I'm saying, and you feel you've been slacking (松懈的) off for too long. You had better get started now. ____36____ ‎ ‎1. It's better than thinking about it.‎ ‎___37____ But thinking can also be dangerous when you do too much of it. You can think as much as you like, but thinking isn't going to change the situation. In fact, thinking isn't going to change anything. ____38____ You won't go anywhere, as if you're a human statue. So you had better get started now.‎ ‎2. It's better than never taking action.‎ - 13 -‎ Do you want to be the man or the woman who never does anything? Do you want to be the man or the woman who never gets started? ___39____ You won't regret it.‎ ‎3. ____40____.‎ How long are you going to dream about getting started? How long are you going to dream about how wonderful it'll be when you do take action? And how long are you going to dream about how much of a difference it'll make to your life? There's only so much dreaming you can do before you have to turn that dream into action. A dream without action is a fantasy, destined(注定) to never come true.‎ A.You can adjust your actions along the way.‎ B. Take action and get out of your own head. ‎ C. Thinking will just keep you in the same position you're already in.‎ D. Here's why getting started is the best way to get started.‎ E. It's better than dreaming about doing it.‎ F. It's better to make a mistake than do nothing at all. ‎ G. Thinking about something before you do it is a great quality to have.‎ 第三部分：完形填空（共20小题；每小题l.5分，满分30分）‎ ‎    阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从41－60各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Have you ever watched an artist paint a picture?
