I believe that people should stop texting while driving because it not only endangers themselves but others around them. Family members, friends and strangers can be hurt by a simple mistake; their lives can be overturned(倾覆) completely.
Before I participated in the Thumb Wars campaign, I used to put sticky(粘的) notes inside my car to advise any person that was within it not to text while driving. I posted a quote on my social pages that said, “Drive now text later.” The message especially caught my dad's attention. Since he is on the road about three out of the seven days of the week, we are all worried about his safety. He decided to never use his phone while driving. When it comes to informing other people about the dangers of texting while driving, I usually bring up conversations about driving which then lead me to lecture them on why they shouldn't text while driving. Thumb Wars has given me a new way and opportunity to prevent people from texting while driving.
The era we live in today is all about technology, and there is always the urge to text. Thumb Wars is an inspirational campaign that fights against that. What I was trying to achieve was to not only change my life, but also try to influence the lives of others for the better. I believe that I can make people realize the consequences of texting while driving. They all know that it is not worth it and could change someone's life instantly. I believe that if there were more campaigns like Thumb Wars there would be fewer accidents because more people would be aware of the effects of texting while driving.
All a person needs is inspiration and efforts to avoid texting while driving. Thumb Wars is a good channel, which makes it the ideal campaign to help with others and make a difference in this world.
24．What led to the author's father's decision to avoid using phone while driving
A. The notes inside the author's car.
B. The author's quote on his social pages.
C. The author's joining in the Thumb Wars campaign.
D. The conversations between the author and his father.
25. One of the purposes of the author's joining Thumb Wars is to ______.
A. teach people how to use technology B. ask more people to join it
C. earn some money D. make others' lives better
26. The author seems to agree that ______.
A. it isn't worth texting while driving
B. people tend to ignore the traffic lights
C. attention is needed to text while driving
D. Thumb Wars was started by the author
27. What might be the most suitable title for the passage
A. An Immediate Mistake B. Thumb Wars
C. Turning off Your Phone D. The Danger of Driving
C
One day while shopping in a small town in southern California，it was my misfortune to be approached by a clerk whose personality conflicted with mine. He seemed most unfriendly and not at all concerned about my intended purchase. I bought nothing，and marched angrily out of the store. My hostility toward that clerk increased with each step.
On the outside，standing by the road，was a dark skinned young man in his early twenties. His expressive brown eyes met and held mine，and in the next instant a beautiful，dazzling smile covered his face. I gave way immediately. The magnetic power of that smile dissolved all bitterness within me，and I found the muscles in my own face happily responding.
“Beautiful day，isn't it？” I remarked，in passing. Then，I turned back.“I really owe you a debt of gratitude，”I said softly. His smile deepened，but he made no attempt to answer. A Mexican woman and two men were standing nearby. The woman stepped forward and eyed me inquiringly.“Sir，but he doesn't speak English，” she volunteered.“You want I should tell him something？”
At that moment I felt transformed. The young man's smile had made a big person of me.
“Yes，” my reply was enthusiastic and sincere，“tell him I said ‘Thank you！’”
“Thank you？”The woman seemed slightly puzzled. I gave her arm a friendly pat as I turned to leave. “Just tell him that，” I insisted.“He'll understand；I am sure！”
Oh，what a smile can do！Although I have never seen that young man again，I shall never forget the lesson he taught me that morning. From that day on，I became smile—conscious，and I practice the art diligently，anywhere and everywhere，with everybody.
28. The author left the store angrily because ________.
A. his intended purchases were of poor quality
B. there's nothing he wanted in the shop
C. the clerk didn't speak English
D. the clerk didn't treat him kindly
29. The underlined word “hostility” in the first paragraph probably means ________.
A. attitude B. hatred C. idea D. opinion
30. What does the author mean by saying “I found the muscles in my own face happily responding.” in Paragraph 2
A. He did not want to smile.
B. He would thank the young man.
C. He smiled back at the young man.
D. He was happy to meet the young man.
31. The passage tells us that we should ________.
A. help people in trouble B. practice smiling every day
C. smile at others D. be generous to strangers
D
In today`s society, language plays a key role in defining gender(性别) by vocabulary, and also the non verbal(非语言的) vocabulary. Each one of these different types of ways of communicating is obviously different between men and women.
Many different studies show that men tend to talk much more than women. It has also been proven that women tend to speak faster than men. This is due to the fact that women tend to be interrupted more often than men are, and also have the ability to speak more clearly, precisely, and more quickly than men. In one study it was found that women spoke for an average of three minutes describing a painting, as opposed to the thirteen minute average it took men to describe it.
Men and women also tend to have a very different nonverbal way of communicating, which can also make it very hard for one another to understand what the opposite sex is trying to say. Men’s body language is much more reserved when they are talking to women. Men tend not to make as much eye contact and they generally stay farther away from women when talking to them. Men avoid other people’s body space while talking, and they also tend to sit back when talking. All of these have given off the impression of disinterest or boredom. Women are by far better listeners and much more enjoyable to talk with and they tend to raise more topics for conversation.
Women also make it clearer whether or not the conversation is going somewhere or just stuck in neutral. After learning about our styles of communicating with each other, I have decided that although men have not quite mastered communicating, what fun would it be if we all spoke the same “language”？The little games men and women play with each other while conversing would be lost. The question everyone asks himself or herself after talking with someone of the opposite sex, “I wonder if there’s something there？” would no longer exist.
32. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. The differences between men`s and women`s languages.
B. The different speed of men`s and women`s speech.
C. The ability of men`s and women`s spoken language.
D. The non verbal vocabulary of men and women.
33. In what way do men and women differ according to the third paragraph
A. Speed of understanding. B. Understanding of speech roles.
C. Politeness of communication. D. Application of body language.
34. What is the author`s attitude to the differences between men`s and women`s communication
A. Cautious. B. Favorable. C. Ambiguous. D. Skeptical.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Women, Born Excellent Talkers
B. Men`s and Women`s Social Roles
C. Vocabulary and Communication
D. Opposite Gender, Different Language
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。
How long should you practice a new language every day With the Babbel language learning approach, 15 minutes is enough.
1. 36
At Babbel, lessons are designed to fit perfectly into those times when you're waiting or commuting. Many users use the app while on public transportation, especially on their way to work. 37
2. Find the right learning pattern for you.
Learners can adapt their studying for their personality type. There are two types of language learners: those who like routines and those who don't. The former can make up their own schedule, like two sets of repetition and one new lesson, and they stick to it. 38 It is suggested that this type of people can choose to devote some days to only repetition, and other days to just new lessons.
3. Build confidence through practice.
It is recommended that one day per week should focus on applying the language to real life.
If there's a Spanish restaurant in your city, why not greet them with “Hola！” or try ordering in Spanish If that's unavailable where you live, the Internet still provides a lot of places to read the language, or listen to a podcast (播客), or to find an online community where you can communicate with others. 39
4. Make a habit of daily learning.
The most important thing is to do something every day. 40 The key to proficiency in another language is daily practice. With this consistency, you'll be speaking a new language in no time.
A. For the latter, they just don't do the same thing every day.
B. Even if it's just 15 minutes, it's better than nothing.
C. Learning on the go.
D. To work is to learn.
E. It's the perfect use of a boring stretch of time.
F. They can choose whatever radio they prefer.
G. To apply is the best way to really get the information into the long term memory.

Dear Lucy，
I'm writing to tell you about the major I will choose in the university. I have decided to major in computer science. There are some reasons why I made such a decision. Firstly, with the development of society, computers are playing an important role in many aspects of our life. Secondly，browsing the Internet is one of my hobbies, so I think I can study computer science well. Last but not least, being good at computer science may help me find a good job after graduating from college.
I know there is a long way to go before I enter a college. So now I must devote myself to study and try my best to get good grades in all subjects.
Best wishes. I'm looking forward to your reply.
Yours，
Li Hua
