B Some schools ask their students to do volunteer work. Some students like doing volunteer work, while others don’t. So should students do volunteer work? I think they should. Here are my reasons. Doing volunteer work can help students get into colleges. Many colleges look at the time students spend doing volunteer work. If they don’t do any volunteer work, they may not be able to get into a college. Not all students go to college after leaving high school. If you think that those students don’t need to do volunteer work, you’re wrong. Students can get a lot of skills by doing volunteer work. ▲ . Everyone lives in a community. Doing volunteer work helps you know that you’re part of your community. When you know that, you’ll love your community. Doing volunteer work can help those in need. It can improve some people’s lives. Research (研究) shows that when you assist others, you’ll be happier, too. So doing volunteer work is good not only for the receiver but also for the giver. Now we can say that doing volunteer work is very important for students. So students should do volunteer work. ( ) 24. How many reasons for volunteering are mentioned A. Three B. four C. five ( ) 25. What can we put into the blank “ ▲ ”? A. Doing volunteer work teaches you skills. B. We cannot live by ourselves in this world C. Helping others can make you feel good. ( ) 26.

Many colleges ask students to volunteer for them. C. Many colleges organize volunteer work for their students C It’s hard to imagine a place that’s more extreme (极端的) than Death Valley in California and Nevada. Death Valley is the hottest and the driest place in North America. Yet Death Valley is full of life. Death Valley isn’t an easy place to live. It gets less than 5 cm of rain a year, so there isn’t much water. It’s hot too. In July, the temperature often rises to over 46℃. The ground is mostly sand and rocks. There is even a dried-up lake that has turned into salt crystals (结晶). Although the weather conditions in Death Valley are terrible, it is still filled with lives. Nothing can stop plants and animals from making it their home. People have found more than 1,000 types of plants there. It also has 51 types of mammals (哺乳动物), 36 kinds of reptiles (爬行动物), 6 types of fish, and more than 300 kinds of birds. The animals aren’t all small, either. There are big ones like bighorn sheep, mountain lions, and mule deer. Water is the biggest challenge for anything that lives in Death Valley. Some plants have roots (根) that go fifteen metres under the ground to find water. Kangaroo rats get the water they need from the seeds (种子) of desert sunflowers. Tiny pupfish can live in water that is 32°C and five times as salty as the ocean! ( ) 28. What do we know about Death Valley from the first two paragraphs? A. It is very hot especially in July. B. It receives plenty of rain every year. C. Few living things can be seen there. ( ) 29. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Death Valley. B. The dried-up lake. C. Water. ( ) 30. How does the writer show his idea in paragraph 3? A. By comparing facts. B. By asking a question. C. By listing (列举) some numbers. ( ) 31. Which of the following might be the best title for the text? A. Death Valley — An Easy Place to Live B. Death Valley — Extreme Conditions, Rich Life C. Death Valley — A Place You Can’t Miss 第二节（共4小题；每小题2分，满分8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。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Many earthquakes happen every year. Some of these earthquakes are very strong. Especially, when they happen in cities, they can be very serious. 32 Here are some tips to help you keep safe. Before an earthquake happens, you should always prepare an emergency kit at home. In the kit, you should keep enough food and water, a flashlight, a first-aid box, and other useful things. 33 If you are indoors when the earthquake happens, the safest place is under a strong table or desk. Sitting on the floor in a doorway or close to a wall is safer than standing in the middle of a room. Remember to protect your head and neck with your arms. Stay away from windows, tall furniture and pictures or anything that may fall on you. 34 If you are out of doors, move to clear areas. Get away from buildings and trees. Be very careful of fallen power lines. The danger is not over when the strong shaking stops. There will be some shocks after most earthquakes. 35 And they sometimes can be more dangerous than the first earthquake. When it is safe for you to move around, check the people near you. Some may need help. You may feel afraid, but you should try to stay calm. That is the most important thing to do in the earthquake. A. We call them aftershocks. B. Do not try to run out of the building. C. No one expects to experience an earthquake. D. Many people will be hurt or die in the earthquakes. E. Being prepared can help you stay calm when danger comes. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分25分） 第一节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出一个最佳选项。 Tom used to be happy, but recently he felt blue and always locked himself in his room.
