Ideas of Making the First Week of
High School Easy
Frank, Aged 21
I think almost every kid feels both nervous and excited before their first day. You will probably love it. I know I did. You should join some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck!
Sharon, Aged 22
The most important thing to keep in mind when going into high school is to be yourself. Besides, I don’t know what your middle school was like, but high school teachers will not care about things such as how much homework you already have in one night. It’s best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to do.
Eddie, Aged 20
When I started high school, I was really nervous too, especially since I had been home-schooled all through middle school and didn’t really know anyone. I suppose the best advice would be to just relax. The first couple of days can be a little bit hard, but things will become easier before you know it.
David, Aged 19
I’m not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening. But you’ll get used to it. Don’t be afraid of anyone; upperclassmen will pick on you more if you let them know you’re afraid. Just take it easy. Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly. After the first week it’s really not bad at all. Don’t worry.
( )21. What can we infer from Sharon about high school
A. Teachers are quite strict.
B. Students often stay up at night.
C. Teachers provide much care for students.
D. Students should make good use of their time.
( )22. How did Eddie feel on his first day of high school
A. Bored. B. Excited.
C. Worried. D. Relaxed.
( )23. Who mentions the importance of friends
A. Frank. B. Eddie.
C. Sharon. D. David.

Simon James is a super-trail runner (越野跑步者) who encourages people to reconnect with nature in the name of exercise. He has completed Super Trail in the Alps, the Andes and the Himalayas. A late-night bet with a client got him tied to running.
“In 2006, a business client challenged me one evening in a bar to a 36-hour walk across 54 miles of the West Highland Way, and I foolishly said ‘yes’,” James said. “He then rang me the next day to tell me we would be running it.”
At the time, James was 20 kilograms overweight and the longest he had run before that was just under 8 miles, but he managed to finish that run and has never looked back.
According to a report, two-thirds of adults in the UK are overweight, one-fifth suffering from depression (抑郁). The huge influence caused by modern lifestyle has worsened these issues. We are aware of the importance of exercise in everyday life, and no amount of virtual meetings can make up for direct social contact. James said, “Only one thing can fix these problems—trail running.”
What is unique about trail running, he explained, is that “it reconnects us to our beautiful nature and connects our physical, mental and spiritual aspects, as well as providing us with an experience which can connect us to other people”.
Inspired, he quit his city life of working 16-hour-plus-days as a banker, and spent more time in trails and mountains.
James is now in charge of the trail running company Run the Wild. He said every run has been a gift following a physical operation in 2015, even though his doctor told him that he could hardly run again. He said, “The outdoors is such a great place for us all to experience.”
( )24. How did Simon James take part in trail running
A. He was inspired by a friend.
B. He tried to deal with his health issue.
C. He made a bet with a client.
D. He had a passion for workout.
( )25. What do we know about trail running
A. It focuses largely on overweight British people.
B. It has little influence on people’s mental health.
C. It connects people through virtual community.
D. It helps to build the social connection for people.
( )26. Which word can best describe Simon
A. Adventurous.
B. Sociable.
C. Kind-hearted.
D. Determined.
( )27. What can be the best title of this text
A. A Unique Experience
B. Running Wonder
C. A Trail to Nature
D. Depression Disorders

Americans weigh more today than they did 20 years ago, and a new report even shows exactly how much more: American men weigh, on average, 15 lbs. (6.8 kg) more than they did two decades ago, and for American women, the number is 16.2 lbs. (7.3 kg), the report said. American men now weigh, on average, 195.7 lbs. (88.8 kg), according to the new report from the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Centre for Health Statistics. And American women weigh 168.5 lbs. (76.4 kg) on average, the CDC found.
In the research, published on the CDC’s website, the researchers looked at a variety of measurements, taken between 2011 and 2014 during the CDC’s National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. This ongoing nationwide survey includes both interviews and physical exams of participants.
Comparing the new findings to data from the CDC’s 1988 to 1994 report, which included similar measurements, the researchers found that Americans have gained weight over the last two decades, but have not gotten much taller.
The average American man stands at 5 feet, 9.2 inches (175.8 cm), up just a tenth of an inch from measurements taken two decades ago. The average American woman stands at 5 feet, 3.7 inches (161.8 cm) tall; this number has remained the same over the past two decades.
Among men, the most prominent increase in weight was for those aged 65 to 69, who weigh, on average, nearly 17 lbs. (7.7 kg) more than men who were in the same age group 20 years ago. Among women, the largest increase was for women aged 20 to 29, who average 20.7 lbs. (9.4 kg) heavier than women in the same age group did two decades ago.
( )28. What was the average weight for American men two decades ago
A. 210.7 lbs.
B. 195.7 lbs.
C. 180.7 lbs.
D. 162.3 lbs.
( )29. What does the underlined word “prominent” in the last paragraph mean
A. Distinct. B. Slight.
C. Steady. D. Concrete.
( )30. How did the researchers present their study findings
A. By analysing cause and effect.
B. By making classification.
C. By comparing the data.
D. By listing examples.
( )31. What can be the best title for the text

B. Heavier, Men or Women
C. Taller, Not Heavier!
D. Taller, Men or Women

Parents often think that their kids should be good at studies and do well in sports. That’s usually the case because parents feel that could help their children go to top colleges. However, Melissa and Mark Wimmer think differently.
Their 14-year-old son, Mike, is a prodigy. He is a member of Mensa, which is the world’s top IQ club. He completed his high school, associate’s and bachelor’s degrees all in three years. That’s not all. He also ran two tech companies, founded a third one that works towards controlling the population of lionfish, an invasive species.
But the parents are proud that they were able to help Mike with his social skills along with his intellectual skills. Melissa told the media that people expected “Young Sheldon” before they met her son. Young Sheldon is a television show about a child talent who is an indoor man and lacks social skills. “But once they talk to Mike, they understand that he’s just a normal 14-year-old that happens to be able to do amazing things,” said Melissa.
Mark and Melissa got to know about their child’s intelligence when he entered preschool. A child psychologist told them that their son would need a different course to support his fast development. Many parents aren’t comfortable with putting their children with 18-year-olds, but Mike’s parents saw the value in letting their child go through it. “I wanted him to be social and be able to deal with all the different personalities in the classrooms with older children,” said Melissa.
The parents shared that they were able to do this by letting Mike find his own voice and put it to use. “We let him order food when he’s 3 or 4 from the waiter or waitress and introduce himself to people. Those kinds of things are done to encourage him to engage with everyone else and be more comfortable talking to others outside of our environment,” said Melissa.Thanks to his parents, Mike has learned to get along with young and old alike.
( )32. What does the underlined word “prodigy” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. A gifted person.
B. A popular student.
C. A wildlife biologist.
D. A promising businessman.
( )33. What can we infer about the child in the show Young Sheldon
A. He likes to make friends.
B. He is a well-rounded student.
C. He is a famous child actor.
D. He is poor at dealing with people.
( )34. How did Mark and Melissa discover their child’s high intelligence
A. Through the suggestion from a child psychologist.
B. Through the information provided by his teachers.
C. By taking part in a special educational programme.
D. By watching their child’s behaviour in preschool.
( )35. How did Mike’s parents improve his social skills
A. By letting him go to school alone.
B. By placing him in social situations.
C. By encouraging him to speak in class.
D. By teaching him some communication rules.

Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have a great influence on the environment. 　36　
Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球场) in good condition. 　37　 For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.
　38　 Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. 　39　 Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep better and have better weight control.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. 　40　 Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.
A. This causes major environmental effects.
B. There are many environment-friendly sports.
C. Most sports lovers prefer to work out in the gym.
D. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones.
E. If we all go green, our planet will be a better place for us to live on.
F. While doing sports benefits your health, it might do harm to our planet.
G. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centres.

Dear fellow students,
第二节　读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Having recently transferred to the high school, Emily felt like a ghost walking through the hallways—unseen and unheard. Struggling to adapt to her new environment, she found herself lonely and had no friends. A group of popular girls, led by Jessica, frequently made fun of her. They laughed at her intelligence, as if achieving high scores in school was something to be ashamed of. To avoid adding more stress to her already overworked parents, Emily bottled up her feelings, swallowing (吞下) the daily suffering like bitter medicine.
One gray afternoon, after the final bell had rung and the last sound had faded, Emily found her books and notebooks scattered in a dirty bin. With embarrassment burning her cheeks, tears welled up in her eyes, blurring her vision as she knelt to gather her belongings. Just then, Lily, a classmate who had always noticed Emily’s struggles but never stepped in, approached and knelt beside her. “They’re just trying to feel better by making others feel worse,” Lily said softly, her voice like a gentle wind on a hot day. Then, she handed Emily her notebooks, offering an understanding smile.
Though touched by Lily’s kindness, Emily still felt the shadow hanging over her. Jessica and her friends tripped Emily in the hallways, pushed her in the lunch line, and even hid her gym shoes, laughing as she crazily searched for them. Each incident added to the weight pressing down on Emily’s chest. She began pretending to be sick, hoping to escape the suffering that turned her school life into a daily nightmare.
In an English class, the teacher assigned (布置) an essay titled “My Wish”. Emily poured her heart into the task and wrote about her longing for a true friend and the pain of feeling like an outsider, baring her soul on the page, exposing the raw wounds and the bullying (霸凌) she had faced. The teacher, noticing the weight of her words, realised what Emily had been going through. The school responded right away, taking measures to address the effects of bullying and organising comforting courses to help Emily rebuild her confidence. Throughout this time, Lily stayed by Emily’s side, becoming her source of strength.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
Emily’s recovery (恢复) began to show signs of progress with Lily’s support.
Paragraph 2:
Also, the school’s ban on bullying made Jessica and her friends reflect.阶段核心素养测评卷

Hello, folks. Thanks for watching the nightly news report on your favourite local station, Channel 6. Our top story tonight is about the monkey that has escaped from the local zoo. If you haven’t heard, a monkey named Lacy escaped from the zoo last night. We talked to the zookeeper, and she said that the lock was somehow broken on the cage. The door was found open this morning, and Lacy was missing. Local police and volunteers are searching all around town to find the missing animal. Lacy is light brown and loves to eat bananas. She is not dangerous and probably very scared. Please call the news station or local zoo if you see her. Next on our report is the local school’s decision to add two weeks to the school year. After long-term research, the school director decided that teachers don’t have enough time to teach the required subjects. So, the school year will now finish at the end of June. Well, that’s all we have for tonight. Thanks again for watching, and we’ll see you next time!

Ideas of Making the First Week of
High School Easy
Frank, Aged 21
I think almost every kid feels both nervous and excited before their first day. You will probably love it. I know I did. You should join some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck!
Sharon, Aged 22
The most important thing to keep in mind when going into high school is to be yourself. Besides, I don’t know what your middle school was like, but high school teachers will not care about things such as how much homework you already have in one night. It’s best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to do.
Eddie, Aged 20
When I started high school, I was really nervous too, especially since I had been home-schooled all through middle school and didn’t really know anyone. I suppose the best advice would be to just relax. The first couple of days can be a little bit hard, but things will become easier before you know it.
David, Aged 19
I’m not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening. But you’ll get used to it. Don’t be afraid of anyone; upperclassmen will pick on you more if you let them know you’re afraid. Just take it easy. Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly. After the first week it’s really not bad at all. Don’t worry.

Simon James is a super-trail runner (越野跑步者) who encourages people to reconnect with nature in the name of exercise. He has completed Super Trail in the Alps, the Andes and the Himalayas. A late-night bet with a client got him tied to running.
“In 2006, a business client challenged me one evening in a bar to a 36-hour walk across 54 miles of the West Highland Way, and I foolishly said ‘yes’,” James said. “He then rang me the next day to tell me we would be running it.”
At the time, James was 20 kilograms overweight and the longest he had run before that was just under 8 miles, but he managed to finish that run and has never looked back.
According to a report, two-thirds of adults in the UK are overweight, one-fifth suffering from depression (抑郁). The huge influence caused by modern lifestyle has worsened these issues. We are aware of the importance of exercise in everyday life, and no amount of virtual meetings can make up for direct social contact. James said, “Only one thing can fix these problems—trail running.”
What is unique about trail running, he explained, is that “it reconnects us to our beautiful nature and connects our physical, mental and spiritual aspects, as well as providing us with an experience which can connect us to other people”.
Inspired, he quit his city life of working 16-hour-plus-days as a banker, and spent more time in trails and mountains.
James is now in charge of the trail running company Run the Wild. He said every run has been a gift following a physical operation in 2015, even though his doctor told him that he could hardly run again. He said, “The outdoors is such a great place for us all to experience.”
(　C　)24. How did Simon James take part in trail running
A. He was inspired by a friend.
B. He tried to deal with his health issue.
C. He made a bet with a client.
D. He had a passion for workout.
(　D　)25. What do we know about trail running
A. It focuses largely on overweight British people.
B. It has little influence on people’s mental health.
C. It connects people through virtual community.
D. It helps to build the social connection for people.
(　D　)26. Which word can best describe Simon
A. Adventurous.
B. Sociable.
C. Kind-hearted.
D. Determined.
(　C　)27. What can be the best title of this text
A. A Unique Experience
B. Running Wonder
C. A Trail to Nature
D. Depression Disorders

Americans weigh more today than they did 20 years ago, and a new report even shows exactly how much more: American men weigh, on average, 15 lbs. (6.8 kg) more than they did two decades ago, and for American women, the number is 16.2 lbs. (7.3 kg), the report said. American men now weigh, on average, 195.7 lbs. (88.8 kg), according to the new report from the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Centre for Health Statistics. And American women weigh 168.5 lbs. (76.4 kg) on average, the CDC found.
In the research, published on the CDC’s website, the researchers looked at a variety of measurements, taken between 2011 and 2014 during the CDC’s National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. This ongoing nationwide survey includes both interviews and physical exams of participants.
Comparing the new findings to data from the CDC’s 1988 to 1994 report, which included similar measurements, the researchers found that Americans have gained weight over the last two decades, but have not gotten much taller.
The average American man stands at 5 feet, 9.2 inches (175.8 cm), up just a tenth of an inch from measurements taken two decades ago. The average American woman stands at 5 feet, 3.7 inches (161.8 cm) tall; this number has remained the same over the past two decades.
Among men, the most prominent increase in weight was for those aged 65 to 69, who weigh, on average, nearly 17 lbs. (7.7 kg) more than men who were in the same age group 20 years ago. Among women, the largest increase was for women aged 20 to 29, who average 20.7 lbs. (9.4 kg) heavier than women in the same age group did two decades ago.
(　C　)28. What was the average weight for American men two decades ago
A. 210.7 lbs.
B. 195.7 lbs.
C. 180.7 lbs.
D. 162.3 lbs.

C. Steady. D. Concrete.
(　C　)30. How did the researchers present their study findings
A. By analysing cause and effect.
B. By making classification.
C. By comparing the data.
D. By listing examples.

Parents often think that their kids should be good at studies and do well in sports. That’s usually the case because parents feel that could help their children go to top colleges. However, Melissa and Mark Wimmer think differently.
Their 14-year-old son, Mike, is a prodigy. He is a member of Mensa, which is the world’s top IQ club. He completed his high school, associate’s and bachelor’s degrees all in three years. That’s not all. He also ran two tech companies, founded a third one that works towards controlling the population of lionfish, an invasive species.
But the parents are proud that they were able to help Mike with his social skills along with his intellectual skills. Melissa told the media that people expected “Young Sheldon” before they met her son. Young Sheldon is a television show about a child talent who is an indoor man and lacks social skills. “But once they talk to Mike, they understand that he’s just a normal 14-year-old that happens to be able to do amazing things,” said Melissa.
Mark and Melissa got to know about their child’s intelligence when he entered preschool. A child psychologist told them that their son would need a different course to support his fast development. Many parents aren’t comfortable with putting their children with 18-year-olds, but Mike’s parents saw the value in letting their child go through it. “I wanted him to be social and be able to deal with all the different personalities in the classrooms with older children,” said Melissa.
The parents shared that they were able to do this by letting Mike find his own voice and put it to use. “We let him order food when he’s 3 or 4 from the waiter or waitress and introduce himself to people. Those kinds of things are done to encourage him to engage with everyone else and be more comfortable talking to others outside of our environment,” said Melissa.Thanks to his parents, Mike has learned to get along with young and old alike.
(　A　)32. What does the underlined word “prodigy” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. A gifted person.
B. A popular student.
C. A wildlife biologist.
D. A promising businessman.
(　D　)33. What can we infer about the child in the show Young Sheldon
A. He likes to make friends.
B. He is a well-rounded student.
C. He is a famous child actor.
D. He is poor at dealing with people.
(　A　)34. How did Mark and Melissa discover their child’s high intelligence
A. Through the suggestion from a child psychologist.
B. Through the information provided by his teachers.
C. By taking part in a special educational programme.
D. By watching their child’s behaviour in preschool.
(　B　)35. How did Mike’s parents improve his social skills
A. By letting him go to school alone.
B. By placing him in social situations.
C. By encouraging him to speak in class.
D. By teaching him some communication rules.

Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have a great influence on the environment. 　36　
Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球场) in good condition. 　37　 For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.
　38　 Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. 　39　 Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep better and have better weight control.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. 　40　 Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.
A. This causes major environmental effects.
B. There are many environment-friendly sports.
C. Most sports lovers prefer to work out in the gym.
D. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones.
E. If we all go green, our planet will be a better place for us to live on.
F. While doing sports benefits your health, it might do harm to our planet.
G. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centres.

第二节　读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Having recently transferred to the high school, Emily felt like a ghost walking through the hallways—unseen and unheard. Struggling to adapt to her new environment, she found herself lonely and had no friends. A group of popular girls, led by Jessica, frequently made fun of her. They laughed at her intelligence, as if achieving high scores in school was something to be ashamed of. To avoid adding more stress to her already overworked parents, Emily bottled up her feelings, swallowing (吞下) the daily suffering like bitter medicine.
One gray afternoon, after the final bell had rung and the last sound had faded, Emily found her books and notebooks scattered in a dirty bin. With embarrassment burning her cheeks, tears welled up in her eyes, blurring her vision as she knelt to gather her belongings. Just then, Lily, a classmate who had always noticed Emily’s struggles but never stepped in, approached and knelt beside her. “They’re just trying to feel better by making others feel worse,” Lily said softly, her voice like a gentle wind on a hot day. Then, she handed Emily her notebooks, offering an understanding smile.
Though touched by Lily’s kindness, Emily still felt the shadow hanging over her. Jessica and her friends tripped Emily in the hallways, pushed her in the lunch line, and even hid her gym shoes, laughing as she crazily searched for them. Each incident added to the weight pressing down on Emily’s chest. She began pretending to be sick, hoping to escape the suffering that turned her school life into a daily nightmare.
In an English class, the teacher assigned (布置) an essay titled “My Wish”. Emily poured her heart into the task and wrote about her longing for a true friend and the pain of feeling like an outsider, baring her soul on the page, exposing the raw wounds and the bullying (霸凌) she had faced. The teacher, noticing the weight of her words, realised what Emily had been going through. The school responded right away, taking measures to address the effects of bullying and organising comforting courses to help Emily rebuild her confidence. Throughout this time, Lily stayed by Emily’s side, becoming her source of strength.
注意:

2. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
Emily’s recovery (恢复) began to show signs of progress with Lily’s support. One afternoon, as Emily sat alone in the cafeteria, she noticed Lily approaching with her usual warm smile. Lily sat beside her, her presence like a steady anchor in Emily’s stormy sea. Sharing her own experiences of feeling left out, Lily offered Emily both companionship and empathy. Bit by bit, Emily began to open up, revealing the fears that had weighed her down. For the first time in a long while, she felt a flicker of hope, realising she didn’t have to carry everything by herself.
Paragraph 2:
Also, the school’s ban on bullying made Jessica and her friends reflect.The memories of their past behaviour haunted them with every reminder of Emily’s pain. After much consideration, Jessica finally gathered the courage to apologise to Emily, her friends trailing behind. “Emily, we’re sorry,” Jessica said, her voice trembling with sincerity. Emily looked into their eyes, seeing the regret they carried. She knew forgiveness would take time, but this apology was a tentative first step. As Jessica and her friends walked away, a quiet calm settled over Emily, signaling the beginning of a new chapter, one of healing and understanding.
