After carving a beautiful sculpture,Michelangelo was asked how he was able to do it.He replied by saying that the sculpture was already in the block of rock from the very beginning:he just had to chisei (off everything else around it. Likewise,Victor Frankl,a famous doctor,taught that we don't invent our talents in life but rather we discover them.In other words,you are already born with your talents,and you just need to uncover them. I'll never forget my experience with finding a talent I never thought I had. To fulfill Mr Williams's creative writing assignment for freshman English,I excitedly turned in my firsi high school paper,entitied"The Oid Man and the Fish".it was the same story my father had often toid me at bedtime while I was growing up.I just assumed he had made it up.He didn't bother telling me he had stolen the plot directly from Emest Hemingway's award-winning novel The Old Man and the Sea.I was shocked when my paper was returned with the remarks,"Sounds a bit trite.Like Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea.”“Who's this guy Hemingway？”I thought..“And how come he copied my dad？”That was my poor start to four years of rather boring high school English classes. It wasn't until college,when I took a short story class from an amazing professor,that I began to discover my passion for writing.If you can believe it,I even majored in English.Mr Williams would have felt surprised. 24.What does the author try to tell us by giving the example of Michelangelo and Victor Frankl?

What can we infer about the author before going to college? A.He hada passion for literature. B.Hhdor writing. C.Hewd by Mr Williams. .Hedidn'owb Ntthaty half ofsathey amnetall th ime.Th ited t-a PewRescarh enter syhsthothehreof theyinamost all the timfrom 2erent intprt The research found that about 95 percent of American teens have smartphones.The study also asked teens about their social media behaviour.It found that the number of teens using Facebook has dropped to 32 percent,down from 71 percent in 2015.

D Several large companies have begun creating paper bottles to replace glass and plastic ones.Paper bottles aren't quite ready to go yet,but you may see them appearing on shelves over the next few years. Companies which sell liquids like drinks or shampoo rely on bottles for their packaging.Usually these bottles are made of plastic or glass.But as customers have become more concerned about the environment, many companies have begun working to develop paper bottles. Paper bottles have many advantages.Perhaps the most important is that they should be easy to recycle.Paper bottles also weigh less than glass or plastic,meaning they'll require less energy to produce and to move around.Since paper is soft and easy to mold,companies can design their bottles to take almost any shape they choose. A company called Paboco has been working with many large companies to develop paper bottles.The companies are creating their own bottle designs,but they're sharing what they learn,to speed up the development of paper bottle technology.. Clearly,one of the biggest challenges is keeping a paper bottle from leaking.The inside of the bottle needs a special coating to make sure the liquid doesn't leak through.Many companies are lining their bottles with a thin sheet of plastic. But even without the plastic,paper bottles aren't perfect.Most paper bottles use wood pulp, meaning trees need to be cut down to make the bottles.That could harm animals and others who depend on the forests. There's still lots of testing to be done before paper bottles can replace glass or plastic.Companies will need to see how long liquids can be stored in the bottles,and make sure the bottles don't affect the taste. But with so many companies working toward the same goal,it's likely that we can expect to see paper bottles on store shelves in the near future. 32.Why have many companies begun to develop paper bottles? A.To reduce the cost. B.To make more money. C.To become more famous. D.To protect the environment. 33.In the author's eyes,paper bottles aren't perfect because A.they lead to the loss of forests B.the liquid may leak through them C.they are not as strong as plastic ones D.they are more expensive thian glass ones 34.What's the author's attitude to paper bottles'appearing on shelves? A.Unclear.B.Worried. C.Confident.D.Doubtful. 35.What would be the best title for the passage? A.Paper Bottles May Produce New Problems B.Companies Work to Develop Paper Bottles C.Will Paper Bottles Replace Plastic Ones? D.Are Paper Bottles Better Than Plastic Ones? 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选 项。 We are all different.We have different hair and different eyes.36So why in.the world would we expect everyone to think and learn in the same way?As a matter of fact,it is not our differences that divide us.It is our inability to recognise,accept,and celebrate those differences. I'll never forget meeting in high school a kid from Tonga named Fine Unga.37I mean the guy was built like a tank,strong as a bull.We looked,dressed,talked,thought,and ate differently.The only thing we had in common was football.So how in the world did we become best friends?38 I never quite knew what Fine was thinking or what he would do next.He had strengths I didn't have and I had strengths he didn't have.Together we made a great team. Boy,am I glad that the world isn't full of a lot of clones who act and think exactly like me?39 The word diversity usually calls to mind racial and gender(种族和性别)differences, but there's so much more to it.There are also endless differences in language,physical features,family backgrounds, religious beliefs,lifestyies,interests,skiiis and so on. 40Since this diversity around you is always expanding,you've got an important decision to make regarding how you're going to handle it.There are three possible approaches you can take:Level 1: Avoid diversity.Level 2:Tolerate diversity.Level 3:Celebrate diversity.Let's share our similarities and celebrate our differences. A.Thank goodness for diversity. B.At first,I was totally frightened by him. C.Maybe it was because we were so different. D.We like different foods and different stories. E.Some people hate and avoid differences in our lives. F.None of us are any better or any worse than anyone else. G.The world is made up of different cultures,races,religions,and ideas. 第三部分语喜运用（共两节，满分30分） 第-节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I remember reading a saying that if you're feeling sad,the best thing to do is to do something for someone else.Why?Because it makes you 41 outward,not inward.It's hard to be 42 while helping someone else.43,a surprising result of serving others is feeling wonderful yourself.
