of our school as to the“parents view”talk the next morning. he asked me to speak to the group. after the call，my whole body became feverish and panicky. the time from his call to the next morning seemed like years. the whole night，i could not sleep with many ominous apprehensions in mind. one of them was to call the principal with regret and tell him that i could not come. finally，i gathered some courage. i thought，“if i miss this opportunity，surely the school will never invite me again to any of their programs.”i reached the school in time. before my turn came，my whole body was trembling. when my turn came and i started speaking，my heart beat increased and my mouth went dry. i wasnt even able to read the written speech properly. i was not aware of where i was standing and what i was reading. that was the day when i realized my biggest weakness，public speaking.after my speech，i met with the principal and explained what happened to me. he told me that this happens to everyone. even great speaker，faced the same things when they started. he suggested that i come again next time.around one month later，i was invited to refer to a topic on motivation. this time i was feeling comfortable. my speech was not only appreciated by the principal as well as the teachers，because i was able to get my idea across to them. they encouraged and praised my efforts.after delivering it successfully，i became more confident. i said to myself，“if i can speak in front of such a learned audience，like the principal who educates others，i can now speak in front of others too.”i started delivering lectures in my plant，on various topics like self motivation，personality development，personal excellence，spoken english and presentation skills. this has become a passion for me. i learned that everything is possible if we have the courage to take the first step.语篇解读本文是一篇记叙文。紧张是在公开场合演讲时一种常见的心理状况。作者通过自己的亲身经历告诉我们：只要我们有勇气迈出第一步，一切皆有可能。4the author of the passage aims to tell us

technology will soon enter another major global industry：shipping. several companies recently announced plans to launch self sailing ships to improve safety and effectiveness.one of them is norwegian chemical company yara international. yaraha steamed up with another norwegian company，kongsberg，to build an autonomous goods ship expected to launch next year. kongsberg developed the ships electrical technology and autonomous control systems. the ship is fully electric to reduce air pollution. it is designed to carry goods containers normally transported by truck. this means the ship will also improve road safety by replacing about 40,000 truck trips a year. the company plans to operate the ships by faraway control beginning some time next year. by 2020，the ships should be loading and sailing themselves. while yaras ships will be limited to norway at first，the company plans to greatly expand its autonomous shipping operations in the coming years.another company putting a high priority(优先) to selfsailing ships is the worlds largest mining company，australias bhp billiton. the companys vice president of freight，rashpal bhatti，recently spoke about the technology in a website post. bhatti believes automation will be one of the biggest changes for shipping in the future. he said，“autonomous ships offer significant opportunities to improve safety and provide better

how to make nanofibers(纳米纤维) out of leftovers from carrot juice. the cellulose(纤维素) in carrots and other root vegetables，unlike other fibrous materials like wood or cotton，is easy to separate out from the rest of the biowaste.the scientists call the material curran，after the gaelic word for carrot. and they set out to show that it could be used to replace glass or carbon fibers. they say its nearly twice as strong and slightly lighter than carbon and they started with carrots because they were cheap and easy to get they would just go to buy in their local grocery store. but they soon realized that carrots actually worked well and that they could turn to agricultural waste to source their material. they found that the smartest，most ecologically responsible use for the nanofibers was for protective sporting goods. and in particular，motorcycle helmets，which have to be both strong and light. thats right：motorcycle helmets of the future might be made from carrots，not carbon.“the question here，first of all，was to see what could be a possible market for such a new fiber，from an ecological point but also from the economic and technical angles too，”david hepworth says. thats where the helmet comes in. they found that protective sporting goods，which need stiff，strong，light fibers and low economic overhead，were some of the be st use cass for curran. david hepworth and his team are also looking at the possibility of using it in surf boards and insulation(隔离板) for mobile homes.the challenge now is taking the material from the lab to mass production. and，making sure that its still ecologically smart on a grander scale. it doesnt make sense to develop a material from bio waste if theres no use for it or if turning it into a useable product takes more energy than the nonrenewable choice.语篇解读这篇短文介绍了两位苏格兰科学家发现胡萝卜作为纳米纤维材料比其他一些材料效果要好，尤其是用来制作头盔。12why was the carrot chosen by the scottish scientists at first?ait worked best.bit could be convenient to get.cit is easy to be broken into pieces.dit did little harm to the environment.答案b解析细节理解题。根据第二段中的“.because they were cheap and easy to get they would just go to buy in their local grocery store.”可知，最初选用胡萝卜是因为胡萝卜很容易得到。故选b。13what is special about curran compared with other fibers?aits shape.bits length.cits quality.dits weight.答案c解析细节理解题。根据第二段中的“they say its nearly twice as strong and slightly lighter.”可知，curran靠质量战胜了其他材料。故选c。14which is a challenge for using the new material mentioned at present?ahow to use it widely.bhow to make it cheaper.chow to study it out of the lab.dhow to get it in large amounts.答案d解析细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“the challenge now is taking the material from the lab to mass production.”可知，选d。15which can best serve as the title for the text?aways to reuse biological wastesbcoming soon：helmets made from carrotscthe solutions to dangerous ridingdthe challenge in producing helmets答案b解析标题归纳题。这篇短文介绍了两位苏格兰科学家发现胡萝卜作为纳米纤维材料比其他一些材料效果要好，尤其是用来制作头盔。所以b项作为标题最合适。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。(2018河南南阳期中)make the most of life experiencesif you ask
