16、n seventh grade, I was a candy striper (护士助手) at a local hospital in my town. I volunteered about 30 to 40 hours a week during the summer.Most of the time I spent there was with Mr. Gillespie. He never has any visitors, and nobody seemed to care about his condition. I spent many days there holding h
17、is hand and talking to him, helping with anything that needed to be done. He became a close friend of mine, even though he responded with only an occasional hold of my hand. Mr. Gillespie was in a coma (昏迷).I left for a week for a vacation with my parents, and when I came back, Mr. Gillespie was gon
18、e. I didnt have the courage to ask any of the nurses where he was, for fear they might tell me he had died. So with many questions unanswered, I continued to volunteer there through my eighth-grade year. Several years later, when I was a junior in high school, I was at the gas station when I noticed
19、 a familiar face. When I realized who it was, my eyes were filled with tears. He was alive! I got up the nerve to ask him if he was Mr. Gillespie, and if he had been in a coma about five years ago. With an uncertain look on his face, he replied yes. I explained how I knew him, and that I had spent m
20、any hours talking to him in the hospital. His eyes welled up with tears, and he gave me the warmest hug I had ever received.He began to tell me how, as he lay there comatose (昏睡的), he could hear me talking to him and could feel me holding his hand the whole time. He thought it was an angel, who was
21、there with him. Mr. Gillespie firmly believed that it was my voice and touch that had kept him alive. Then he told me about his life. We exchanged a hug, said our good-byes and went our separate ways.Although I havent seen him since, he fills my heart with joy every day. I know that I made a differe
22、nce between his life and his death. As importantly, he has made a great difference in my life. I will never forget him and what he did for me: He made me an angel.24.

26、 faith in themselves will succeed.C. Respect people and they will try hard to improve.D. If you spread happiness you will be happy yourself.CIts OK to say youve never heard of grime (伦敦地下音乐) - unless youre from the UK. Thats because this music type was invented in the UK in the early 2000s.To someon
27、e whos not familiar with underground music culture, ifs easy to get confused between hip-hop and grime since they are both noisy. And many people didnt bother to tell them apart，until earlier this month when grime stars like Stormzy and J Hus led this years Mobo “music of black origin”, an award in
28、the UK. Just like UK electronic music and hip-hop, from which grime drew influence, it mostly reflects the thoughts of young people. But different from hip-hop, grime singers sing in dialects with strong accents, giving a special flavor to their songs.Lady Leshurr，known as the “Grime Queen”, said th
29、at she once tried to hide her accent, as she didnt want people to judge her. But one day, she realized that she didnt need to change herself just to please others. And theres no doubt that this is the soul of grime music: be yourself.Grime has challenged modem music in its production beauty and its
30、expressions. Also different from the hip-hop culture, which usually focuses on being rich, grime singers pay more attention to social phenomena like those who suffer from disasters and the gap between the rich and poor.Although still quite a young music type, grime seems to be getting loved by more
31、and more people. In 2016, the English grime artist Skepta won the Mercury Prize with his album Konnichiwa, beating big names like David Bowie and Radiohead.However, no matter whether grime is one day accepted widely or not, one thing is for sure: in grime, singers always stay true to themselves.28.
32、Why is it easy to get confused between hip-hop and grime for some people?A. They are the same in music form. B. They both make a lot of noise.C. They have a great effect on each other. D. They both developed out of electronic music.29. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 2?A. Th
33、e award. B. .Grime. C. Electronic music. D.Hip-Hop 30. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Grime is widely accepted all over the world now.B. In grime, singers need to change themselves to please others.C. More and more people like grime because it has a long history.D. Grime singers have a str
34、ong sense of social responsibility.31. Why does the author mention the success of Skepta?A. To show that grime is getting more and more popular.B. To prove that grime singers stay true to themselves.C. To explain that underground music is still quite young.D. To show that Skepta has greater musical
35、talent than David Bowie.DThink of a seed buried in a pot. Its dark down there in the potting soil. Theres no light, no sunshine. So how does it know which way is up and which way is down? It does know. Seeds send shoots up toward the sky, and roots the other way. Darkness doesnt confuse them. Someho
36、w, they get it right.More surprisingly, if you turn a seedling (秧苗) or a whole bunch of seedlings upside down, as Thomas Andrew Knight of the Royal Society did around 200 years ago, the tips and roots of the plant will sense, “Hey, Im upside down. Look! I. will turn my way to the right direction and
37、 do a U-turn.”How do they know? According to botanist Daniel Chamovitz, Thomas Knight about 200 years ago guessed that plants must sense gravity. Knight proved it with a crazy experiment involving a spinning plate.He attached a bunch of plant seedlings onto a disc. The plate was then turned by a wat
38、er wheel powered by a local stream at a speed of 150 revolutions (旋转) per minute for several days.If you have been at an amusement park in a spinning teacup, you know that because of centrifugal force (离心力) you get pushed away from the center of the spinning object toward the outside.Knight wondered
39、, would the plants respond to the centrifugal pull of gravity and point their roots to the outside of the spinning plate? When he looked, thats what theyd done. Every plant on the disc had responded to the pull of gravity, and pointed its roots to the outside. The roots pointed out, and the shoots p
40、ointed in. So Thomas Knight proved that plants can and do sense the pull.32. How does the author write about the young seedling in Paragraph 2?A. By describing vividly. B. By giving examples.C. By telling stones. D. By asking questions.33. What determines the direction that the plant choose?A. Soil.
41、 B. Sunshine.C. Darkness. D. Gravity.34. What did Knights experiment prove?A. Plants have their own desires. BPlants can grow quickly by doing a U-turn.C. Speed influences plants growing. D. Plants can feel the pull35. Where can this passage most probably be found?A. In a book review. B. In a lifest
42、yle magazine.C. In a scientific report. D. In an official document 第二节：七选五 （共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从后面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 find true friendsThe process of meeting people and developing friendships usually occurs when two people get to know each other through shared experiences

44、n people work together on a project or play together on a sports team, they often form positive bonds by sharing enjoyable or meaningful experiences with each other.Get to know new people through current friends. 38 Current friends may often know other people who share the same interests or values,
45、which offers the potential for them to create larger groups of friends who can take part in social gatherings together.39 Being positive is an important part of developing a strong friendship. Friendships bring people a sense of comfort and enjoyment through positive contact. Loyalty and honesty are
46、 also important aspects of friendships.
