delivered a memorable speech,and I was about to learn how the judges decided my performance.The audience leaned forward and a period of silence fell across the room.I felt the drum rolled in my heart.The third-place winner was announced.The name was not mine.Then the second-place winner,still not me.At last,the moment of truth came.I was about to either enjoy the warmth of victory or regret the months preparation.My heart felt closer to the latter.Losing is a part of life,and I have dealt with it on more than one occasion.However,it was an indescribable feeling to drive a 200-mile round trip,get up very early on a freezing Saturday morning,and yet still finish fourth out of four competitors in my group.After Lincoln lost the 1858 Illinois Senate race,he said,“I felt like the 12-year-old boy who kicked his toe.I was too big to cry and it hurt too bad to laugh.”Oh yeah,I could relate.I had spent many hours in front of a computer and in libraries doing research for the Lincoln Bicentennial Speech Contest.After not placing in the first year of the contest,I really wanted to compete again.Lincoln had many failures,but he never allowed them to defeat his spirit or ambition,so I was not going to give up on a second contest!I reworked my speech for the following year,but again I did not place.I couldnt accept the fact that I failed twice in something that I had worked so hard on,until I thought about my hero.Never mind the lost prize money and praisethrough learning stories about Lincoln,I discovered that I can fail successfully.4.How did the author feel after finishing his speech?A.Delighted.B.Annoyed.C.Thrilled.D.Nervous.5.What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A.He was regretful about his not being fully prepared.B.He felt upset for getting up early on a chilly morning.C.He once kicked and hurt his toe when he was 12 years old.D.He turned out to be the last one of his group in the contest.6.Why did the author decide to enter the second contest?A.He was eager to prove himself to be the best contestant.B.He was inspired by the never-give-up spirit of Lincoln.C.He was willing to enjoy the warmth and joy of victory.D.He was determined to win the prize money and praise.7.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.A memorable hero in my life B.Never mind others judgments C.Losing is an indescribable feeling D.Stand up from where we tripped over C At the World Economic Forum last month,President Trump drew claps when he announced the United States would respond to the forums proposal to plant one trillion(万亿)trees to fight climate change.The trillion-tree idea won wide attention last summer after a study published in the journal Science concluded thatplanting so many trees was“the most effective climate change solution to date”.If only it were true.But it isnt.Planting trees would slow down the planets warming,but the only thing that will save us and future generations from paying a huge price in dollars,lives and damage to nature is rapid and considerable reductions in carbon release from fossil fuels,to net zero by 2050.Focusing on trees as the big solution to climate change is a dangerous diversion(偏离).Worse still,it takes attention away from those responsible for the carbon release that are pushing us toward disaster.For example,in the Netherlands,you can pay Shell an additional 1 euro cent for each liter of regular gasoline you put in your tank,to plant trees to balance the carbon release from your driving.Thats clearly no more than disaster slightly delayed.The only way to stop this planet from overheating is through political,economic,technological and social solutions that end the use of fossil fuels.There is no way that planting trees,even across a global area the size of theUnited States,can absorb the huge amounts of fossil carbon released from industrial societies.Trees do take up carbon from the atmosphere as they grow.But this uptake merely replaces carbon lost when forests were cleared in the first place,usually long ago.Regrowing forests where they once grew can undo some damage done in the past,but even a trillion trees cant store enough carbon to head off dramatic climate changes this century.In a sharp counter argument to last summers Paper in Science,Justin Gillis wrote in the same journal in October that the studys findings were inconsistent with the dynamics of the global carbon cycle.He warned that“the claimthat global tree restoration(复原)is our most effective climate solution is simply scientifically incorrect and dangerously misleading”.8.What do we know about the trillion-tree idea?A.It was published in a journal.B.It was proposed last summer.C.It was put forward by Trump.D.It drew lots of public attention.9.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A.A drawback of the tree planting strategy.B.An example of balancing carbon release.C.An anecdote of making a purchase at Shell.D.A responsibility for politicians and economists.10.What was Justin Gilliss attitude towards global tree restoration?A.Indifferent.B.Opposed.C.Hesitant.D.Supportive.11.What is the best title for the text?A.Contradictory Ideas on Tree Planting.B.A Trillion Trees Come to the Rescue.C.Planting Trees Wont Save the World.D.The Best Solution to Climate Change.D First grader Gavin Clampett was diagnosed(诊断)with Tourettes Syndrome at the age of five.Due to the neurological(神经的)disorder,he always experiences a variety of sudden uncontrolled movements and sounds.The uncontrollable actions mean that he often gets dirty looks from strangers in public and kids make cruel comments on the school bus and in class.In an effort to prevent the unkind comments,Gavins mother,32yearold Rebecca Clampett helped him make a video with his sister Brynn,nine,and played it to pupils at his school to help them understand the condition.In the video,which Rebecca also shared on YouTube,Gavins sister Brynn starts by answering the question“What is Tourettes Syndrome?”She explains,“It is a neurological disorder,which means it affects the brain so that a person makes unwanted movements.These are called tics(抽搐),but not like a tic that is found outside.These tics can be very noticeable or not very noticeable,quiet or loud.”School can be hard for all kids.That canbe even harder for children like Gavin because they have to face people who laugh at them every single day.“I feel like my brother and every other kid who has Tourettes Syndrome are brave.So be kind to them and dont treat them differently because they are just like you”,Brynn says in the video.Gavin concludes,“Everyone could play with someone.Some people think I cant because Im different but actually I can.Some are afraid that I will say dirty words,but actually I wont.The disease bothers me a little,but Im OK.”12.What can we know about Tourettes Syndrome?A.It can be treated with drugs.B.It is usually found at an early age.C.People with it will say dirty words.D.People with it can make uncontrolled sounds.13.Because of the disease,others often _.A.take pity on Gavin B.give a hand to Gavin C.keep away from Gavin D.look down upon Gavin 14.In the video,Gavins sister _.A.explains her brothers disease B.expresses her love for her brother C.complains about unkind comments D.encourages others to donate money 15.What can be used to best describe Gavin?A.Lucky.B.Helpless.C.Optimistic.D.Stubborn.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 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 Jealousy(嫉妒)is a horrible feeling that weeds its way into your life and
