JasonB"I don't want to go,Miss White.I'm frightened,very frightened," Monica told her teacher. Monica was a very quiet girl.She always sat at the back of the classroom,reading or taking notes.Every Monday morning,there would be a special show in her class and one student would be chosen to make a speech about his or her dream.Miss White hoped that Monica could have a try the next week.But she refused."I know that it seems difficult for you,but it will help you build up your confidence," said Miss White.Monica was lost in thought.The next day,Monica came to Miss White's office.Miss White was glad that she would take the chance.Miss White red-penciled her manuscript （手稿）of speech,corrected her pronunciation and even helped with her body language.She advised Monica to practice,to imagine that she was speaking confidently in front of her class.For a whole week,Monica practiced speaking in front of her imaginary friends and teacher.Behind the locked door of her bedroom,she told them about her dream.Finally,Monday arrived.When Monica was called upon to give her speech,she stood up and walked to the front of the class without any notes,in a show of confidence.Monica 's successful performance brought everyone a great surprise.The whole class clapped （鼓掌）for a full minute when she completed her speech.Miss White smiled.She had known that Monica would make it when she bravely took her first step to overcome （克服）her fear of speaking in public. From that day,Monica's life changed for the better.At the age of 23，she became a news reader.People who see her on television now will find it hard to believe that she was once a shy girl who refused to speak up in class.24.Monica felt ______ when Miss White first asked her to make a speech next week？A. quietB. frightenedC. confidentD. glad25.After Monica came to Ms.White 's office,she advised Monica to ______ .A. stand up and walk to the front without any notesB. practice and imagine speaking in front of her classC. change her pronunciation and body languageD. smile and clap for her classmates in the class26.Monica's life changed for the better because ______ .A. she was shy and refused to speak in publicB. she made a speech and told others her dreamC. she overcame her fear of speaking in publicD. she became a news reader and was on televisionCThe connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research.Recent studies have found positive effects.A study in Youngstown,Ohio,discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime （犯罪） .In another,workers were shown to be 15% more effective when their workplaces were beautified with houseplants.The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology （MIT ）have taken it a step further changing the actual composition （成分）of plants in order to get them to perform differently,even unusual useful things that they do.These include plants that have sensors （传感器）printed onto their leaves to show when they re short of water and a plant that can discover harmful chemicals in groundwater."We 're thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace some of the things that we use every day," explained Michael Strano,a professor of chemical engineering at MIT.One of his latest projects has been to make plants glow （发光）in experiments using some common vegetables.Strano's team found that they could create a weak light for three-and-a-half hours.The light,about one-thousandth of the amount needed to read by,is just a start.The technology,Strano said,could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn trees intoself-powered street lamps.In the future,the team hopes to develop the technology and invent something that can be sprayed onto plant leaves in a one-off treatment that would last the plant's lifetime.The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off "switch" where the glow would disappear gradually when daylight appeared.Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity used up in the US.Since lighting is often far removed from the power source—such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a highway far away— a lot of energy is lost during sending.Glowing plants could shorten this distance and as a result,help save energy.27.What is the first paragraph mainly about？______A. A new study of different plants.B. A greener city of less crime.C. Workers from different workplaces.D. Advantages from green plants.28.Why are the sensors printed on plant by MIT engineer？______A. To show us the plants need water.B. To keep the compositions of plants.C. To make the life of plants longer.D. To test chemicals in the plants.29.What can you learn about the glowing plants according to the passage？______A. They may speed up energy production.B. They will send electricity to the home.C. They will help to cut down energy use.D. They may take the place of power plants.DI read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting.But where are we doing all of this waiting,and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours？To answer these questions correctly,let's take a look at three types of "waits".The very purest form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait.It is without doubt the most tiring of all.Take filling up the kitchen sink （洗碗池）as an example.There is nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it's full.During these waits,the brain gets away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks.This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless.A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait.This one requires some rules.Properlypreparing packaged noodle soup requires a Forced Wait.Directions are clear in details."Bring three cups of water to boil,add mix,simmer （炖）three minutes,remove from heat,let stand five minutes." I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the processes strictly.After all,Forced Waiting requires patience.Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait.This type of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary.Unlike the Forced Wait,which is also voluntary,waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen. Turning one's life into a waiting game requires belief and hope,and is quite useful for the optimists （乐观主义）among us.On the surface it seems as silly as following the directions on soup mixes,but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it.As long as one doesn't come to depend on it,wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody. We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting.The next time you' re standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you'll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky,don't be hopeless.You're probably just as busy as the next guy.30.According to the passage,we have to spend a lot of time to wait because ______ .A. we all live in an impatient societyB. the three "waits" are common in our livesC. we often stand at the sink to wait cookingD. the "waits" helps us get out of the trouble31.What's the underlined phrase "wanders about" mean in paragraph 2？______A. hangs aroundB. watches outC. cares aboutD. comes across32.The writer probably agrees ______ .A. The Forced Wait requires some self-control.B. The Forced Wait makes people powerful.C. The Watched-Pot Wait needs directions.D. The Watched-Pot Wait attracts body and brain.33.What can we learn about the Lucky-Break Wait？______A. It is less voluntary than the Forced Wait.B. It doesn't always bring the expecting result.C. It is more mindless than the Forced Wait.D. It doesn't give people faith and hope.四、任务型阅读-简答（本大题共1小题，共10.0分）34.Soap Believe it or not,soaps change lives in Cambodia.A groupnamed Eco-Soap Bank collects used soap from hotels and turns itinto new bars （块）to give out for free.Samir Lakhani,an American student,started this project eightyears ago.In 2014，he visited Cambodia for the first time,which is in Southeast Asia.There he watched a mother bathe her baby using detergent（洗涤剂）.He learned that many people in Cambodia are very poor and don't have soap.He wanted to help solve theproblem.Sami's idea was to recycle old soap.Each year,millions of tourists visit Cambodia.Many hotels use large amounts of soap.A hotel can produce about 68 kilograms of soap waste every month.So Samir went from hotel to hotel,asking them for used soap.His project grew.It later became the Eco-Soap Bank.The group takes used soap torecycling places.There,the soap is cleaned,then cut up,mixed together and put through a press.Soap waste becomes new bars or liquid （液体）soap.Then they are given out to local schools and some charities （慈善事业）.Eco -Soap Bank gives soap toCambodians.Some bars are also given to local women to sell.They make money for their families.The project has helped half a million Cambodians get cleaner.But Lakhani has a bigger plan.He wants to start Eco-Soap Bank in every tourist area around theworld.Because he wants to help people take their health into their own hands- one bar of soap at a time.Nowdays Eco- Soap Bank operates in 12 countries and has recycled 700 tons of soap into over 9 million bars.The women who participate in Eco-Soap Bank programs receive free education and job training support to enable them to succeed.Samir received a CNNHeroes Award for Eco- Soap Bank in 2017 and a Unilever Young Entrepreneurs Award in 2018.He also recently gave a TEDx Talk.He said he hoped everyone in the world can be healthy from the little bars.(1) When did Samir Lakhani start this project？______(2) What is Samir's idea？______(3) Why does Samir want to start Eco- Soap Bank in every tourist area around the world？______(4) What award did Samir receive in 2017 and 2018？______(5) What do you think of Eco-Soap Bank project？______五、书面表达（本大题共2小题，共25.0分）35.假如你是李华，你校英语社团正在开展" 创建绿色校园，我们都是参与者"的活动。

V olunteers at Spring Book Fair need to do the following EXCEPT ________.A. keeping the books clean and tidyB. saying hello to people at the doorC. giving advice to shoppers on booksD. getting a book written by the organizerBWhen I was a kid, my brothers, sisters and I used to have ice cream for dessert. Every day, we would choose which ice cream flavor to have. Then we would happily wolf down our ice cream as fast as we could.Once when I was probably about 10 or 11, our grandpa came to visit. Grandpa always had a different view on things. At that time, my sister and I were making bets(打赌) on who could finish our own ice cream first. With a smile, Grandpa said, “Why would you want to finish first? If you eat slowly, it will last longer. You should have a competition to see who can finish last.” Even now, I always try to taste my ice cream, but of course this is about more than just dessert.Too often, kids want to scramble(争夺) for more, whether it’s more ice cream, more toys, or more friends. This habit persists(持续) into our adult years. We never develop the skill of treasuring(珍重) what we have. If we learn to recognize this pattern and change it, we will have a happier life.What my grandpa taught me that day was really that if you take the chance to enjoy what’s in front of you, the pleasure will last longer. It’s a lesson that, I think, has made my adult life happier as well. These days, when I want something, I wait as long asI can before I allow myself to have it. Then, when I finally get it, I make sure to treasure it as long as possible. Because I know that no matter what it is, it will be gone all too soon.根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

determination（决心） that he made it all look effortless although I knew all too well how hard he was working.A couple of weeks ago,I was watching him do chin-ups.I had never tried doing chin-ups before,but it looked so easy,so I asked him if I could try one.He eagerly stepped aside and encouraged me to try.I pulled myself up without thinking …once …then twice.I stopped because that was all I had in me,but he stepped up behind me and pushed me up for two more.It felt so good and I felt strong.The next few days when I finished my workout,I would ask him to watch me do chin-ups.However,each time I could only do two.I was quite upset,but he told me that when he trained firefighters,men were required to do 5 chin-ups,and women were required to do one or two.Most people couldn't do them at all,so he was amazed at what I could do.He further told me that if I practiced every day,I would be doing five or six in no time.Because he told me I could,I didn't realize how difficult it was.I was encouraged to try and I didn't doubt it for a moment.I truly thank him for letting me believe that for me success is not only a possibility,but also a realistic goal that I can achieve.（1）The writer wanted to try doing chin-ups for the first time because ___ .A.it looked so easyB.she felt very wellC.she was good at sportsD.it was part of her training plan（2）When the writer could only do two chin-ups,she felt ___ .A.boredB.amazedC.upsetD.satisfied（3）What can we learn from the passage？ ___A.Self-trust is the secret to success.B.Exercise can only change our bodies.C.Truth is much more powerful than lies.D.Encouragement can help us achieve more.16.（填空题，6分）Do you ever feel like you are running from one activity to another,or studying a mad rush of one subject after another？When things happen at such a fast pace （节奏），it is easy to lose sight of what you aredoing,or what you are learning.It is important to stop yourself every now and then to think about what you've been doing or learning.Self reflection means stopping the mad rush of activity and calming yourself and your mind so your brain can weigh the information it has already received.Some people prefer to do their self reflections in their minds,while others keep written notes.Either method can work,depending on what your own personal style is.Whether thought or written,the process is the same.School textbooks are often divided into units.This can make it easier for someone who wants to begin the process of self reflection to get started.Watch for the times when you complete a unit in any subject you are learning：math,history,science,or any other topic.Sometimes you are reminded that the unit is over because there is some kind of test.Use these natural breaks as opportunities to stop and reflect.Find a quiet place.This can even be sitting at your desk at school when you finish something early and the other students are still working.If you are going to take notes,take out a piece of paper or your reflection notebook.Take down some quick notes on things that you learned in this unit that you did not know before you began.Let your mind think over the notes you have written and make some connections.Sometimes just stopping to think deeply allows your brain to make connections so that new information can be quickly recalled （回想起） when you need it again.Next,think about things that you still wonder.For example,maybe you learned a new way to solve a math problem,but you're not sure when to use it.Writing down your questions will help you remember to continue looking for answers the
