2．In the mid-1950 I was a bored boy student who believed that doing any more than necessary was wasted effort.One day，this approach threw me into embarrassment.
In Mrs.Totten's eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson，Indiana，we were learning to add and subtract decimals （小數(shù)加減法）.
Our teacher typically assigned （布置） daily homework，which would be checked in class the following day.On most days，our grades were based on our oral answer to homework questions.
Mrs.Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework jye.aiets.She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end.
Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students，it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer.This particular time，I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations （計算）.
However，what I failed to expect was that several students were absent.As Mrs.Totten made her way from the beginning of the class，I tried my best to think of and decide which math problem I would get.I tried to work it out before she got to me.jye.ai my brain couldn't function at that moment.
When Mrs.Totten reached my desk she asked what answer I'd got for problem No.14. "I...I didn't get anything，" I answered，and my face burned with shame.
I thought a lot after class that day.Till now，I still remember what happened in that math class.If I could choose one school day that taught me the most，it would be that one.
（1）Which of the following statements is true according to the passage？
A．The author thought making an effort was important.

C．The author thought doing the necessary was enough.
D．The students were asked to answer homework questions together.
（2）The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher always.
A．requested her students to finish their usual questions
B．walked up and down when asking questions
C．chose two or three questions for the students
D．a(chǎn)sked questions in a way that the author was familiar with
（3）The author failed to get the questions he had expected because.
A．several students didn't come to school
B．the class didn't begin as usual
C．Mrs.Totten didn't start from the back of the class
D．he suffered from a serious disease
（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the passage？
A．A Creative Student
B．An Unforgettable Teacher
C．A Valuable Lesson
D．An Effective Approach組卷：6引用：2難度：0.5 -
3．Batteries can power anything from small sensor to large systems.While scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful，problems can happen when these batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices（裝置）themselves.University of Missouri（MU）researchers are developing a nuclear （核能的） energy source that is smaller，lighter and more efficient （效率高的）.
"To provide enough power，we need certain methods with high energy density（密度），" said Jae Kwon，assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MU. "The radioisotope（放射性同位素）battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries."
Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery，presently the size and thickness of a penny，intended to power various micro/nano electromechanical systems（M/NEMS）.Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns，Kwon said they are safe.
"People hear the word 'nuclear' and think of something very dangerous." he said. "However，nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices，such as pace-makers，space satellites and underwater systems."
His new idea is not only in the battery's size，but also in its semiconductor（半導體）.Kwon's battery uses a liquid（液體的） semiconductor rather than a solid（固體的） semiconductor.
"The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy，part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure（晶格結構）of the solid semiconductor." Kwon said. "By using a liquid semiconductor，we believe we can minimize that problem."
Together with J.David Robertson，chemistry professor and associate director of the MU Research Reactor，Kwon is working to build and test the battery.In the future，they hope to increase the battery's power，make it smaller in size and try with various other materials.Kwon said that the battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair.
（1）Which of the following is true of Jae Kwon？
A．He developed a chemical battery.
B．He teaches chemistry at MU.
C．He made an achievement in computer.
D．He is working on a nuclear energy source.
（2）Jae Kwon gave examples in Paragraph 4.
A．to introduce various energy sources.
B．to describe a nuclear-powered system.
C．to show nuclear batteries can be safely used.
D．to prove chemical batteries are popular.
（3）What does the underlined word "minimize" in Paragraph 6 probably mean？
A．Reduce something to the lowest level.
B．Increase something to the highest level.
C．Understand something totally.
D．Explore something deeply.
（4）From the passage，we can learn Jae Kwon's nuclear battery.
A．could be extremely thin
B．has passed the final test
C．uses a solid semiconductor
D．is already on the market組卷：6引用：1難度：0.6
第三部分：書面表達（共兩節(jié)，32分）第一節(jié)（共1小題；第45、46小題各2分，第47小題3分，第48小題5分，共12分）閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)題目要求用英文回答問題。請在答題卡指定區(qū)域作答。

8．How do you really know what career （職業(yè)） you want？You can do research and do personality tests but it's still hard to really know for sure.For many jobs，as well，bosses are looking for people with work experience.You need to have a job to get experience but can't get a job without experience.
So why not do some voluntary work？Yes，that means doing a job without pay.You can help people who are in need.You can find out more about careers and get experience.At the same time，you can meet people from different places.
The Chinese Government is a great supporter of voluntary work.It has helped set up more than 24，000 volunteer service centres where people can go to find out how they can help their community.Millions of people in China already do so.Here are some examples of how you can help：
Teach English in a rural （農(nóng)村的） area.Believe it or not.teaching is also a great way of improving your English.You have to think about how to explain grammar and vocabulary，which makes you learn more.You'll be helping people and finding out if you would like to be a teacher.
Do office work for a charity.You can get office experience and training on using computer software.
Help in a hospital.If you're thinking about becoming a nurse or doctor there's no better way to find out what it's like.You may find you are afraid of the sight of blood.
Protect the environment.The Chinese Government launched（發(fā)起）a "green movement" of young volunteers，named Protect the Mother River.Young volunteers have been planting trees to fight against desertification and water pollution in important sections along the Yellow River.
（1）Why can it be difficult for people to find jobs after they graduate according to the passage？
（2）Why do we say the Chinese Government is a great supporter of voluntary work？
（3）Please decide which part is false in the following statement，then underline it and explain why.
Doing voluntary work can bring benefits to our society，so people who do voluntary work can earn a lot of money from it.
（4）The passage introduces some examples of voluntary work.If you have a chance，what voluntary work do you want to do most？Give your reasons.（In about 40 words）組卷：4引用：1難度：0.5
