We all know that volunteering is a way to help others and pay it forward. However, it’s a way to help yourself, too. Volunteering increases self-confidence. You are doing something good for others, which provides a natural sense of accomplishment. Your role as a volunteer can also give you a sense of pride and identity. And the better you feel about yourself, the more likely you are to have a positive view of your life and future goals.‎ Volunteering combats depression. A key risk factor for depression is social isolation ( 孤 立). Volunteering keeps you in regular contact with other people and helps you develop a solid support system, which in turn protects you against stress and depression when you’re going through challenging times. Working with pets and other animals has also been shown to improve moods and reduce stress and anxiety.‎ Volunteering is an easy way to build up your network professionally. You are ‎ meeting others from many different professions. If you are just starting out in your career, or just developing your business, networking is useful. You will meet people who have been where you are, and those who are going where you’re going. Having regular contact with professional peers can be a source of encouragement, especially when you’re feeling burned out.‎ Volunteering can make your social life colorful and meaningful. When you go to volunteer sites, you’re meeting like-minded people. You’re meeting others who have values such as compassion and connection to community. Also, people who volunteer appear to be confident, happy, and out-going. Again, these are people from many different walks of life, so there is the potential for interesting dialogue. And those people who you are meeting are active.‎ ‎25. What does the underlined word mean?‎ A. prevents. B. increases. C. expresses. D. strengthens.‎ ‎26. What can we learn from the third paragraph about volunteering?‎ A. It can help us learn how to trust others.‎ B. It can contribute to the helpful support in life. C. It can help us take control of our minds.‎ D. It can make it easier for us to set practical goals.‎ ‎27. What does the whole passage mainly talk about?‎ A. The importance of volunteering. B. A great way to help others.‎ C. Benefits of volunteering for oneself. D. Great opportunities for volunteering.‎ C On the beautiful island of Maui there are many wonderful things to see. The only difficulty is choosing which ones you’ll have time for. We’ve tried to make that planning process easier for you by collecting what we feel are absolutely the best things to do in Maui.‎ On the planet there are only three underwater volcanoes and Maui has one of them. Clear water as deep as 200 feet and thousands of fish make it one of the most amazing things you’ll ever see. There are many family-friendly Molokini activities to choose from. Meals on most tours are included. This is a great activity for the entire family! Pride of Maui is one of our favorite vessels to go out to Molokini. Call 1-877-867-7433.‎ If you are visiting Maui in winer, you can’t miss seeing Maui’s famous humpback whales ‎( 座头鲸), which come here every year between December and May. The best way to see them is on a whale watching tour. For more about whale watching tours, visit Malolo Charters or call (808) 856-4274.‎ For adventure lovers, you can’t do better than zip-lines ( 高空滑索) in Maui. We have several options for zip-line tours, including Piiholo Zip-line in Makawao, which provides the longest side-by-side zip-line in the state. Call 1-800-374-7050.‎ For those really interested in experiencing a first-class experience on the ocean in Maui, we recommend a private sailboat tour aboard the Shadowfax, a sailing yacht ( 快 艇 ) departing daily from Maalaea Harbor. With no more than 6 passengers and excellent service from Captain Mike, guests will enjoy beautiful views of Hawaii. Call (808) 572-2345.‎ ‎28. What is the purpose of the author writing the passage?‎ A. To show Maui is an excellent place to live in.‎ B. To make an advertisement for the island of Maui.‎ ‎‎ C. To share his experience of travelling to Maui.‎ D. To give advice on how to plan a Maui vacation.‎ ‎29. What can be inferred from Paragraph II?‎ A. It isn’t easy to see underwater volcanoes on Earth.‎ B. Many visitors go to Maui for the activity of Pride of Maui. C. Maui is a place filled with wonderful volcanoes.‎ D. On the island of Maui underwater activities are popular and meals are free.‎ ‎30. In which month should you go to Maui if you are interested in whales?‎ A. August. B. March. C. June. D. November.‎ ‎31. What should an ocean lover do while he is in Maui?‎ A. Take a whale watching tour. B. Have a zip-line tour.‎ C. Have a private sailboat tour. D. Pay a visit to Molokini.‎ D I learned about the practice of topping (掐去植物顶部) at a recent visit to the beautiful of flower gardens in Holland. As flowers grow, sometimes the growers cut off the tops of them, which they believe is helpful to produce higher quality flowers. This is the same with personal growth. Sometimes when we produce first results in a certain area, it can be good to cut them off and throw them away, which helps free up ( 腾出) energy for a new attempt elsewhere.‎ After running my company of computer games for 10 years and having satisfying results, I decided to drop it and leave that field behind. This freed up my energy to focus on improving myself in writing and speaking. If I’d kept running the old business, I would have had less energy to put into my new path and had weaker results.‎ When you feel that life is becoming too stagnant ( 停滞不前的), try mixing things up now and then. As a way to do so, I’ve been travelling continuously. Since April 23, I have been in Europe for a month. During this time, I’ve dropped my old daily routine that I would normally use at home and I’m trying something different. This means that more energy is freed up for exploration and growth.‎ The longer you stay still, the more people based on your current position will relate to you. Your thoughts and feelings may become repetitive and circular. Your surrounding environment may control your daily routine. Soon you notice that as the years pass, there is little change in your life. This is the comfort zone.‎ Stepping outside of your comfort zone is an uncomfortable experience, but it is worthwhile. During my Europe trip, for instance, each day brings new challenges, like making the mistake of taking the stairs from the bottom of Covent Garden Underground Tube Station. But with so much to explore and learn, I feel that minor victories of the sort that I seldom experienced at home are waiting for me every day. Dropping personal satisfaction to go for more growth is not an easy path to follow, but I do find it to be the more beautiful path.‎ ‎32. What did the author come to realize after visiting the flower gardens?‎ A. It is enjoyable for one to get close to nature and admire the flowers. B. One should ignore the present achievement and try something new. C. It is practical for one to take up the skill of topping the flowers.‎ D. One is supposed to have a high expectation for one’s coming future.‎ ‎33. What’s the purpose of the author’s dropping his former business?‎ A. To satisfy his great desire for personal development. B. To free himself from the busy work and heavy debts. C. To keep up with the changes of modern society.‎ D. To seek ways to increase the profits and productivity.‎ ‎34. People living in the comfort zone are likely to .‎ A. feel creative and confident.‎ B. change their lifestyles and habits. C. accept new ideas and competition.‎ D. be controlled by the physical environment.‎ ‎35. What does the passage mainly talk about?‎ A. Trying to slow down and enjoy your life to the fullest. B. Holding a positive attitude towards your career and life. C. Getting out of home to grow or living a comfortable life.‎ D. Having a strong desire to live in the past or in the future.‎ 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。‎ Tips for procrastinators (拖延者)‎ You manage to finish and hand the project in on time, but you feel exhausted. Then, your teacher says, “Get ready. We will start the test in 5 minutes.” 36‎ Many of us are guilty of delaying doing what we should do. At the same time, we might risk missing a deadline and not getting a good mark. It is also very stressful. Here are some tips for procrastinators on how to get your work done ahead of time.‎ Create a to-do list. Creating a list will help organize your work and ideas while keeping you on track. 37 Keep it up to date by checking off completed tasks as you go along. This will keep you focused and orderly.‎ ‎38 Chances are, you won’t be able to get a lot of work done when you’re tired. Finding a time of day when you are full of energy will get you to be more productive.‎ Choose reliable study partners. Working with study partners will encourage you to complete the task at hand and ensure that you remain focused. 39 ‎ Divide the work into smaller parts. Procrastination is often a reaction to feeling overwhelmed ( 无法对付的). Dividing work into smaller parts will make it easy to handle.‎ ‎40 You will find your ability and be more likely to finish what you need to do.‎ Hopefully these tips will help you do away with the stressful, last-minute efforts of a ‎‎ procrastinator.‎ A. Work when you’re feeling energetic.‎ B. Try to encourage you to stick to your work plan. C. You forgot that there’s also an examination today.‎ D. Remind yourself to finish something you enjoy doing first.‎ E. Put the tasks that you feel less confident about or are likely to avoid on the top of the list. F. Deal with your tasks a bit at a time instead of wasting time wondering where to start.‎ G. You know that others are relying on you and they think that you deserve trust and are responsible.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分 45 分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分） 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和 D)中，选出 最佳选项。‎ After a long, hard day on duty a policeman was heading home.
