Check out these 4 activities for excellent volunteer opportunities that require no previous experience.‎ Animal Rescue Shelters Local animal shelters always need volunteers. Brush up your office skills by answering emails or phone calls, and providing general administrative assistance. Try making some connections among the staff or offering your dog walking services to the pet owners. It makes for a great part-time job, and plus, may turn into a full-time one.‎ Habitat for Humanity Habitat for Humanity offers locally targeted volunteer opportunities. If you are interested in developing experience in home repair and building maintenance（维护）, check out its A Brush With Kindness campaign or the Women Build program, designed specifically to help women learn construction skills. Your experience can contribute directly to team-building and leadership ability.‎ Local Libraries As a teenager, I volunteered at my local library for a few hours a week for a school project. I liked it so much that I ended up volunteering every week and developed a life-long love of books. Libraries badly need help to organize shelves and assist readers, and you may sometimes help set up and run public events, such as author signings and book fairs.‎ Art Museums If you love art, working in a museum can be an invaluable experience. You can surround yourself with timeless works of art, soak up knowledge, and acquire administrative skills meanwhile. Get involved in the community by volunteering for family programs and children’s activities at your local museum.‎ ‎21. What is an extra advantage when you volunteer in animal shelters?‎ A. Owning your favorite pet free.‎ B. Becoming a full-time dog walker.‎ C. Helping to build up your knowledge base.‎ D. Contribute to your own leadership ability.‎ ‎22. Where can you learn skills of bettering your home?‎ A. At Habitat for Humanity. B. At a local animal shelter.‎ C. At a local library. D. At an art museum.‎ ‎23. What is badly needed for local libraries?‎ A. Helping design posters. B. Helping with public events.‎ C. Organizing large book fairs. D. Organizing books on the shelves.‎ B Stephen Hawking was regarded as one of the most brilliant physicists in history. His work on the origins and structure of the universe, from the Big Bang to black holes, changed the field greatly. His best-selling books also appealed to a number of readers.‎ Stephen Hawking had a challenging life. He was born in England on Jan. 8, 1942-300 years to the day after the death of the astronomer Galileo Galilei. He attended University College, Oxford, where he studied physics, despite his father’s urging to focus on medicine. Hawking went on to Cambridge to research cosmology.‎ In early 1963, just before his 2lst birthday, Hawking suffered from a serious disease, more commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. He was not expected to live more than two years. Completing his doctor’s degree did not appear likely. Yet, Hawking had overcome the great difficulties, not only attaining his Ph. D. but also building new roads into the understanding of the universe in the decades since.‎ Hawking continued at Cambridge after his graduation, serving as a research fellow and later as a professional fellow. In 1974，he was inducted（正式就职）into the Royal Society，a worldwide fellowship of scientists. In 1979, he was appointed Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge, the most famous academic chair in the world.‎ As the disease spread, Hawking became less mobile and began using a wheelchair. Talking grew more challenging and, in 1985, an emergency tracheotomy（气管切开术）caused his total loss of speech. A speech-generating device was constructed at Cambridge, combined with a software program, serving as his electronic voice and allowing Hawking to select his words by moving the muscles in his cheek. Hawking died on March 14, 2018.‎ ‎24. What greatly influenced the field Stephen Hawking studied?‎ A. Stephen Hawking’s best-selling books.‎ B. His research on the Big Bang and black holes.‎ C. Stephen Hawking’s talent.‎ D. The origins and structure of the universe.‎ ‎25. What does the underlined word “cosmology” in paragraph 2 mean?‎ A. A study about universe.‎ B. A subject of medicine.‎ C. A research on time.‎ D. A project in Cambridge.‎ ‎26. What happened to Stephen Hawking in early 1963?‎ A. He became world famous.‎ B. He achieved his doctor’s degree.‎ C. He was badly affected by a serious disease.‎ D. He built new roads into the understanding of the universe.‎ ‎27. How did Stephen Hawking express himself finally?‎ A. By using body language.‎ B. With the help of an operation.‎ C. By using a speech-generating device.‎ D. With the help of some people.‎ C Japanese scientists and technology companies are coming up with new ways to deal with employee shortages in delivery service. How exactly? By introducing a robot that can deliver food to your home. A Japanese company ZMP has launched robot tests recently.‎ The ZMP’s delivery robot in the process of testing is a red box that measures 109 cm and 133 cm in heights and lengths respectively. It is designed to carry up to 100 kilograms of anything with a approximate speed of 4 miles an hour. It has its own navigating system and a map, sensors（传感器）and cameras that allow it to self-drive. These, for now, are its main technical abilities. The next developments will be control of food temperature, and perhaps，voice control and speaking abilities.‎ The robot will be tested together with a local sushi（寿司）delivery company Ride on Express Co. Upon making a sushi order, customers will receive codes on their smart phones that will allow them to unlock the robot and get their orders out. Similar testing attempts have been undertaken by Domino’s Pizza in Australia, where they tested a delivery robot a year ago.‎ In any case, before robots are able to deliver food or any other goods to real customers, massive testing on public roads or in the public air space will have to take place. While it is in the government’s best interest to make up for the shortage of delivery in the Japanese labor market, it is clear that self-driving machines of any kind will not be permitted on the roads until they are fully tested and proven safe enough for public roads. According to the experts, this could take another 3 to 5 years.‎ In any case, robot delivery is not such a distant future after all, and recent developments show that there is significant market demand for such type of delivery.‎ ‎28. How do Japanese handle the employee shortages in delivery service?‎ A. By raising employment and working hours.‎ B. By employing science and technology.‎ C. By increasing the salary.‎ D. By delivering more at a time.‎ ‎29. What is the second paragraph mainly about?‎ A. The introduction of delivery robots.‎ B. The usage of delivery robots.‎ C. The basic data of delivery robots.‎ D. The appearance of delivery robots.‎ ‎30. What’s the reaction of Japanese government to delivery robots?‎ A. Being critical of the technology.‎ B. Ignoring the development.‎ C. Being a little bit hesitated.‎ D. Becoming great interested.‎ ‎31. What can be the best title for the text?‎ A. Robot Delivery：New Tests in Japan B. Robot Delivery Coming to Use in Japan C. Employee Shortage in Delivery in Japan D. Latest Automatic Service：Robots D Health officials in the United States reported last week on what they believe could be a medical first. Officials said doctors performed what could be the first double lung transplant（移植）on a person whose lungs were severely damaged from vaping（吸电子烟）. The operation ‎ reportedly saved the life of the teenager.‎ The young man was admitted in early September to a Detroit-area hospital with what appeared to be a common lung infection, but was later sent to Children’s Hospital of Michigan in Detroit. On October 3, he was transported to Henry Ford Hospital, where the transplant was performed 12 days later.‎ Hassan Nemeh is a surgical director of thoracic（胸腔的）organ transplant at Henry Ford Hospital. He told The Associated Press（The AP）that the damage done to the teenager’s lungs from vaping was so bad that there was no possibility to totally recover. He warned parents to think about that and to tell their children as well.‎ More than 2,000 Americans who vape have gotten sick since March. Many of them are teenagers and young adults. At least 40 people have died.‎ Recently, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported a discovery into what might be causing people who vape to become sick. They identified the chemical compound vitamin E acetate（醋酸盐）as a “very strong criminal”.‎ Researchers found the chemical compound in fluid taken from the lungs of 29 patients. In other studies, Vitamin E acetate was found in liquid from electronic cigarettes and other vaping devices. Many who got sick said they had vaped liquids that contain THC, the part of marijuana that creates what is known as a “high”.‎ Dr. Lisa Allenspach is a lung specialist and medical director of Henry Ford’s Lung Transplant Program. She told The AP, “Vaping-related injuries are all too common these days. Our adolescents are faced with a crisis.” She added that vaping products should not be used in any way.‎ Dr. Nemeh said the 17-year-old patient’s case does not open any new moral considerations about transplants for people who severely damage their own lungs by vaping. He added, “We hope sharing this patient’s story prevents anyone else from experiencing a vaping injury that would require a transplant.”‎ ‎32. What can be learned about the young man in the text?‎ A. He got caught in a moral dilemma.‎ B. He was the first to get sick by vaping.‎ C. He received the operation immediately.‎ D. He had a good chance to survive the lung damage.‎ ‎33. How many hospitals are mentioned in the text?‎ A. 1. B. 2. C. 3. D. 4.‎ ‎34. What is Dr. Lisa Allenspach’s attitude towards vaping products?‎ A. Skeptical. B. Approving C. Opposing. D. Objective.‎ ‎35. What’s the purpose of sharing the teen’s story?‎ A. To discourage vaping.‎ B. To voice moral concerns for the lung transplant.‎ C. To express sympathy for his sufferings.‎ D. To disapprove of smoking.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5 分，满分12.5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。‎ How to Live Well At a certain point in life, thoughts may come up. How well have you lived? 36 How well you’ve treated those you love and care about? Most of all, however, time seems to slip on without too much self-reflection. Maybe it’s time to slow down and think about what it means to live well.‎ To live means acting. 37 You start action, come up with goals, make plans to help work on the desired outcome, and dive in. Not every action will immediately bring about a successful finish of the project, task or undertaking, but you learn from everything you do.‎ ‎ 38 Being busy is an effective cure to loneliness, helps avoid depression and self-pity, and keeps us in a constant state of movement. Again, doing things often puts us in contact with others and that’s also a good thing for humans to make interaction with other humans.‎ But what happens when you don’t give a project or task your full effort? Are you still living well? Or are you shortchanging yourself, trying to cheat and still get the reward? 39 Not only learn to face these, but also try to overcome them.‎ The truth is that everyone cuts corners now and then. Maybe it is because we lack time, energy, financial or other resources. Sometimes we have to make ends meet by shaving off an item or a step. That doesn’t mean we make a habit of it. 40 ‎ A. To live means you participate in life.‎ B. To have a good life doesn’t mean living well.‎ C. Keeping busy sometimes is important in life.‎ D. Sometimes you have to face these in your life.‎ E. How much you’ve achieved relative to your goals?‎ F. What can you do if you suffer from an illness?‎ G. That really means we should stop and think, in order to live better.‎ 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分）‎ 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ As the train picked up its speed, the passengers slowly settled down on their seats.

I politely said, “Aunty, you are 47 someone?”‎ She smiled and I continued to say: “Aunty, you must be feeling so 48 to see your child and your grandchildren.”‎ Perhaps, this question 49 her a little but she answered, “Oh, dear! You are so sweet! 50 , I had only one son who joined the 51 and was killed in a battle just a few days before. I had 52 so many new clothes for him. So, I thought why not 53 my son’s clothes to some other soldiers, so that I would control my 54 and would be happy thinking that my own son has worn it. He was 55 , so I don’t have any grand child.”‎ I was astonished at her heart breaking story! But I admired the old lady from the core of my heart.‎ ‎41. A. elderly B. famous C. stubborn D. smart ‎42.

Two thousand miles suddenly separated me from the person who’d been the focus of my life for 18 years. As the days went by, I missed Scott more and more. I’d always been able to take care of myself, but now I seemed to need Scott’s help constantly, like getting a tool from the top shelf, or moving something heavy, or changing a tire on the car. Most of all, I just missed having him to talk to. I was lonely. I knew this day would come. But why does it have to be so hard?‎ However, a mother spider taught me a lesson.‎ On my way out from my storeroom, I noticed a spider building her web across the top corner of the doorway. I reached for a hoe（锄头）m, tore down the web, and watched the giant spider run away in the grass. She was back the very next morning, in the exact same spot, busily rebuilding. I stared for a moment, and then reached for the hoe again. Then I twisted the hoe round and round, catching the spider in her own web. I carried her far into my backyard, shook the hoe and watched her fall to the ground, disappearing in the bush. The third morning, I stopped short as I entered the storeroom. The spider was back in the same corner of the door frame, her web almost completed again. I reached for the hoe, but stopped. She wants her web where she wants it, I thought, and that kind of perseverance（毅力）should pay off. I stepped back and watched her ‎ long legs busily knitting the web. ‎ For the next few weeks, the spider and I were close neighbors. One particularly boring day, I was feeling so down that I didn’t even glance up at my spider as I entered. As I stared in wonder, I found a hundred tiny angels on the floor. I realized that these were baby spiders that the eggs had hatched, and already, as the mother watched from the corner of the home that she had built, her young were making their way to the ground.‎ ‎【参考答案】‎ 听力部分录音材料 听力部分。该部分分为第一、第二两节。‎ 注意：做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。‎ 停顿00’10”‎ 现在是听力试音时间。‎ M：Hello.

We have four bedrooms, an office, two bathrooms, a front room and a dining room. We do a lot of things around the house. We garden quite a bit, walk in our garden, and play basketball on the basketball court. Usually on Saturday afternoon, we have a barbecue and that’s our meal because during the summer it gets pretty hot here and sometimes you just want to be outside rather than be inside. In California you really have two seasons from our entertainment point of view-spring, summer and fall are all very much the same type of activities and then winter is very different on the activities that we do on the weekend.

The following are some methods of my own on how to improve study efficiency.‎ Firstly, it is recommended to find a quiet and tidy place to study. At the same time, I’ll keep my cellphone away so that I won’t be disturbed. Secondly, I try to attend during the lesson as well as making notes. If possible, actively answer the questions my teachers put forward. Last but not least, exercise properly and ensure adequate sleep and rest.‎ I hope my methods are helpful to you!‎ Yours,‎ Li Hua 读后续写 One possible version：‎ Paragraph l:‎ It only took moments before all the babies were gone. My spider sat alone again in the web she’d built. And for what? Just to make sure those babies were safe till their feet touched the ground. But crazy as it may sound, when I looked at that spider, I’d swear she seemed proud. The very next morning, when I went into the storeroom, she was gone. I knew that the spider had gone on to build different webs, just as strong, elsewhere. She had fulfilled this role, part of which was to let go with grace and self-respect.‎ Paragraph 2:‎ Part of my job as a parent, maybe the hardest part, was to let my son walk away. But I knew that I had built him a strong web to grow in, and that if I had the strength and the courage to watch him fall, his feet would land safely on the ground.‎
