阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
　　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.
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 in some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable.Good luck!
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 after 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.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 little 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] Excited. [B] Bored.
[C] Worried. [D] Relaxed.
(　　)23.Who mentions the importance of friends
[A] Frank. [B] David.
[C] Sharon. [D] Eddie.
B
I woke up this morning and it was harder to get out of bed than usual.I didn’t sleep well because I was very nervous.I had many questions.What should I wear What should I put in my schoolbag I finally fell asleep around 5:45 and my alarm started going off at 6 o’clock.
Well it was time for me to start my first day of high school.
My first class wasn’t too bad.I had to listen to my English teacher who discussed the importance of themes and plots,but otherwise it was a pretty relaxing class.My other classes that followed were pretty much the same.Not too many students had sat together yet from what I could see but then again,lunch hadn’t started yet.Thinking about all of this made me wonder where I would sit during lunchtime.I was hoping I wouldn’t feel too lonely and would find a good table to sit at and enjoy my lunch.
I chose a pizza and an orange soda.I was thankful that the food didn’t taste terrible.More importantly,I managed to find some new friends to sit with so I wouldn’t have that on my mind for the rest of the day.I was just happy I had a great lunchtime.
My first day at school was almost over when I felt a tap on my shoulder in Chemistry class.It was a girl named Samantha asking if she could read my textbook with me because she left hers at home.I told her yes and invited her to sit next to me.When the class bell rang,we exchanged numbers to hang out after school.I felt like my day couldn’t have gone any smoother.I just had one more class to get through and I would be done for the day.

Freshman year of high school is a big transition (过渡) for any student.
Luckily,you’re not the only person going through this,and plenty of others have made the transition before you.
One of the ways in which high school is different from middle school or junior high the most is the higher expectations.You’ll find that you’re expected to keep closer track of your own schedule and responsibilities with fewer people checking up on you.At the same time,
your classes are likely to become more challenging,and you might be participating in new school activities as well.
Some students find it hard to keep up with everything at first,which is totally normal.One way to prepare in advance for these higher expectations is to make sure that you have organised schedules in place before you start high school.
Another important skill for meeting these higher expectations is building a strong support network.No matter how strong a student you are,at some point you will need some help.
Keeping healthy relationships with your friends and teachers is a great way to make sure that you have people who are willing to help when you need them.
Try to get to know at least some of your teachers beyond your classroom communication.
Be an active learner during class and stay after class to ask questions.Take advantage of email or class messaging systems.The better your teachers know you,the better prepared they’ll be to help when you need them.
It’s important for you to keep in mind as you start high school that no one is perfect.
Transitions are hard for everyone and starting high school is a big transition.These challenges provide a great chance to reinvent yourself.
(　　)28.In the author’s view,what’s the biggest difference between high school and middle school
[A] The higher expectations.
[B] The higher pressure.
[C] High academic achievements.
[D] Different relationships.
(　　)29.Which of the following suggestions is NOT mentioned in the text
[A] Careful schedules.
[B] Healthy relationships.
[C] Using network information.
[D] Reinventing yourself.

(　　)30.Who is the text intended for
[A] Parents of high school students.
[B] Teachers in high school.
[C] Students in Senior One.
[D] Students in junior school.
(　　)31.What is the best title for the text
[A] How to Meet Your Teachers’ High Expectations
[B] How to Become an Active Learner in High School
[C] What to Prepare to Keep Up with Everything in High School
[D] How to Get Through the Transition of Freshman Year of High School
D
On my first round-the-world trip,I planned everything out in advance (提前).I knew where I was going,how long I would stay,and how I would get there.And then halfway through the trip,I ditched the plan and went with the flow.Over the years,how I plan my travel has changed.Now,I’m a last-minute planner and seldom travel with any plan.
Travelling without a plan gives you great flexibility (灵活性).Since nothing is booked far in advance,you can turn to something different when you change your mind or something better comes along.I changed my plan to meet a friend on an island in Thailand and stayed for a month.I wouldn’t have had that experience if I had kept to my planned schedule.
　　However,most new travellers usually overly plan their trips.Their whole journey is scheduled.Two days here,three days there.I understand why people do that.When time is short,you want to see as much as possible.You don’t want to waste a single second.
Actually,it is better to slow down your pace.Spending more time in one place allows you to get a better feel of life.You can visit at a more relaxed pace,see more than just the attractions,and open up your schedule to the happy accidents of travel.
When I first made my travel plan,I tried to include everything in it.Then I realised it was unrealistic,and revised my plan.I just listed one or two things I wanted to see each day.It’s an important lesson to learn.I think the best trip plan is to work out the general path you want to take,book the first few nights of your trip,and let your travels unfold (发生) from there.In this way you will never be locked into a certain place if your feelings change.
(　　)32.What does the underlined word “ditched” in Paragraph 1 mean
[A] Considered. [B] Improved.
[C] Abandoned. [D] Prepared.
(　　)33.What can we learn about the author from the text
[A] He lives an easy life.
[B] He enjoys travelling freely.
[C] He spends a lot of time travelling.
[D] He prefers to follow others when travelling.
(　　)34.What does the author suggest about travelling
[A] Avoiding booking in advance.
[B] Working out a simple travel plan.
[C] Getting prepared for the unexpected things.
[D] Setting a goal before making a travel plan.
(　　)35.What is the best title for the text
[A] In Travel,Less Is More
[B] Travelling:Play More,Pay Less
[C] Why I Enjoy Travelling Around
[D] Travelling:a Race Against the Clock
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面的短文,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。
During your school years,you will face many challenges.Sometimes you may not have all the solutions and need help.At this time,peer tutoring (同伴指导) is one of the most helpful tools.Peer tutors are understanding,helpful and especially honest.36.　　
Recognise your mistakes
This will probably be the most uncomfortable part,but peer tutors simply want you to bring out the best in you.37.　　　 They tell the truth about you,which may put you in an awkward position.But you have to learn to accept you’re not perfect and will make mistakes.
You should feel fortunate that your peer tutor is recognising your mistakes and giving you a chance to repair them.
38.　　
Every tutor has a different learning and teaching style.If a tutor teaches you how to solve a maths problem in a way that makes sense to you,but is also different from what you have learnt in class,you will have to use that method because it works for you.If a tutor revises your paper and gives you advice,you will find that your work in the future changes completely.
Change is good.It is by no means something to be afraid of.
Push you in time
Since we are humans,it’s not unusual for us to be lazy sometimes.39.　　　 However,if a tutor notices that you have been inactive,don’t be surprised if they call you out on it.Your tutor wants you to do the great things that you are capable of.
Help you improve
Last but not least,expect to improve.Peer tutoring can be difficult,but finally the goal is for you to improve as a student in various areas.Once you practise peer tutoring at school,you will notice a great change in your grades and your learning ability.40.　　
A.Give you a chance to change
B.Work out the best method for you
C.Of course,it’s nothing to be ashamed of.
D.So I think that’s really worth your efforts.
E.Peer tutors are anxious to push you in study.
F.They are always there to help you out through difficulties.
G.The only way for them to ensure this is to be completely honest with you.

短文。
Hiking in the wild is one of Ehlers’ favourite hobbies.And he had a single goal:to hike in the hills of west-central Iowa,which is a wonderful wild place for people who love hiking in the wild.Although it’s about 402 kilometres from the hills of west-central Iowa to Ehlers’ home in Minnesota,he still put it into practice with his friends.
During a long trip home,following a weekend of hiking,Ehlers thought about the small brown dog he had seen trembling alongside the road.At the time,he stopped the car and tried to coax (哄劝) the dog to him but,frightened,it ran off.It immediately disappeared without a trace.
Back home,Ehlers was troubled by that lost dog,which drove him to make up his mind to find that dog.So,four days later,he called his friend Greg,and the two drove back.
Arriving at that place,they came across a local farmer and asked him,“Have you seen a lost dog We had seen the dog trembling alongside the road four days ago.” Meanwhile,Greg described the dog’s appearance to him.
“The dog sounded like one advertised as lost in the local paper.The ad had a phone number for a town in southern Minnesota and the dog’s picture,” the local farmer told them.
Ehlers and Greg were excited to know that the dog’s owners were Jeff and Lisa.So they called Jeff and Lisa to tell them they were finding their dog.Hearing that,Jeff was surprised and said,“We had hiked in Iowa before Thanksgiving with our dog,Rosie,but a fierce dog came out of nowhere and scared Rosie off.We searched in vain for Rosie in the next four days.So we drove back home.”
“We are also driving there now,and it will take about two hours to arrive in Iowa.Tell me exactly where you are.Let’s search Rosie together,” Jeff said.“OK.We will wait for you while looking for Rosie,” Ehlers replied.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
After nearly two hours’ careful search,an amazing thing happened.
Paragraph 2:
Ehlers called Jeff and Lisa again and waited for their arrival. 核心素养提升(Unit 1)

(Text 6)
W:Hi,Jason.Would you like to go swimming this afternoon
M:I wish I could,but I have to spend the rest of the day in the library.I have a ten-page paper due tomorrow.
W:Oh,is that for Prof Brown’s class
M:Yes,and I have to write a poem.
W:That’s hard.How is it going so far
M:Not very well.And I also have to study a lot for maths and history,but I don’t know what to do at all.
W:You know,I’ve been doing well in maths,so I’d be happy to help you.If you like,we can start tomorrow.
M:Oh,that’ll be great.
(Text 7)
M:I understand how you feel,Madam.But there simply isn’t any room.The person who took the reservation must have forgotten to write it down.I’m afraid it was just a mistake.He is new,you see.
W:Just a mistake Do you realise that I’ve invited some very important people to dinner
It could cause me to lose an important business partner.
M:I’m sorry.I suggest you call them and explain the problem.I’m sure you’ll find several other good restaurants around here.
W:I can’t get in touch with them now.They are probably on their way at this very minute.
Surely you could find one more table.
M:Not unless you’d like me to put you in the hall,Madam.
W:Well,that’s better than nothing.
(Text 8)
W:Professor Johnson,I was deeply impressed by your lecture just now.I’ve learnt a lot from it.
M:I’m glad you liked it.
W:Can I ask you some questions
M:Yes,go ahead.
W:When did man first begin to paint pictures 10,000 years ago
M:We don’t have a clear idea of that.But the oldest paintings discovered so far are about 20,000 years old.Paintings of large animals have been found in deep caves in southern France and northern Spain.
W:Why did these ancient people paint these pictures
M:In my opinion,these people painted pictures for two reasons.First,they believed that the painted pictures could attract animals so that those animals could be killed and eaten.
W:It seems likely that the cavemen had similar ideas.
M:That’s right.Second,painting was also a way for those people to express their feelings towards the outside world.

W:By the way,how did your meeting go
M:It was quite interesting.
W:So what did they talk about
M:Uh,recycling,mostly.They have this plan that everyone should write to the Council.Ask them to collect more rubbish.I’m going to share my duty this evening.
W:Oh,I see.I think I might go to the next meeting.I’ve been meaning to do something...um,I mean,get more active about the environment.
M:Yes,we all need to.Global warming,ice caps melting,pollution.
W:Yes,we’re facing so many environmental problems.It’s really frightening.
M:Well,there’s something we could do right now.There’s this poster they want to put up all over the college.They’ve asked us to print it out and put it up in college.You want to help me
W:Sure!It might be an idea to ask Kate to come,too.I think she would be glad to do this.

M:Hello,everyone.My name is Donald.I’d like to talk about two sports I like.I love to ski and snowboard.I am 17 years old,and I have been skiing since I was 5,and snowboarding since I was 8.In my opinion,snowboarding is more fun than skiing.The ski poles make it very simple to change my direction.There are no poles in snowboarding,however,so when you snowboard,
you have to understand the snow very well to make sure you don’t fall.The feeling I get while I’m snowboarding is more exciting than when I’m skiing,because I like having less control.I enjoy the challenge.Many people think that the reduced amount of control in snowboarding makes the sport more dangerous.But in my opinion,snowboarding is actually safer than skiing,because when you ski,you’re standing on two skis.If you fall while on skis,it is very easy to break your bones by getting your skis stuck in the snow.On a snowboard,
your legs stay together even when you fall.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
　　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.
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 in some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable.Good luck!
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 after 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.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.

Well it was time for me to start my first day of high school.
My first class wasn’t too bad.I had to listen to my English teacher who discussed the importance of themes and plots,but otherwise it was a pretty relaxing class.My other classes that followed were pretty much the same.Not too many students had sat together yet from what I could see but then again,lunch hadn’t started yet.Thinking about all of this made me wonder where I would sit during lunchtime.I was hoping I wouldn’t feel too lonely and would find a good table to sit at and enjoy my lunch.
I chose a pizza and an orange soda.I was thankful that the food didn’t taste terrible.More importantly,I managed to find some new friends to sit with so I wouldn’t have that on my mind for the rest of the day.I was just happy I had a great lunchtime.
My first day at school was almost over when I felt a tap on my shoulder in Chemistry class.It was a girl named Samantha asking if she could read my textbook with me because she left hers at home.I told her yes and invited her to sit next to me.When the class bell rang,we exchanged numbers to hang out after school.I felt like my day couldn’t have gone any smoother.I just had one more class to get through and I would be done for the day.

Freshman year of high school is a big transition (过渡) for any student.
Luckily,you’re not the only person going through this,and plenty of others have made the transition before you.
One of the ways in which high school is different from middle school or junior high the most is the higher expectations.You’ll find that you’re expected to keep closer track of your own schedule and responsibilities with fewer people checking up on you.At the same time,
your classes are likely to become more challenging,and you might be participating in new school activities as well.
Some students find it hard to keep up with everything at first,which is totally normal.One way to prepare in advance for these higher expectations is to make sure that you have organised schedules in place before you start high school.
Another important skill for meeting these higher expectations is building a strong support network.No matter how strong a student you are,at some point you will need some help.
Keeping healthy relationships with your friends and teachers is a great way to make sure that you have people who are willing to help when you need them.
Try to get to know at least some of your teachers beyond your classroom communication.
Be an active learner during class and stay after class to ask questions.Take advantage of email or class messaging systems.The better your teachers know you,the better prepared they’ll be to help when you need them.
It’s important for you to keep in mind as you start high school that no one is perfect.
Transitions are hard for everyone and starting high school is a big transition.These challenges provide a great chance to reinvent yourself.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了学生进入高一之后应该如何做好过渡。

【答案】 D
【解析】 标题归纳题。通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了学生进入高一之后应该如何做好过渡,因此D项“如何度过高中一年级的过渡期”为文章最佳标题。故选D。
D
On my first round-the-world trip,I planned everything out in advance (提前).I knew where I was going,how long I would stay,and how I would get there.And then halfway through the trip,I ditched the plan and went with the flow.Over the years,how I plan my travel has changed.Now,I’m a last-minute planner and seldom travel with any plan.
Travelling without a plan gives you great flexibility (灵活性).Since nothing is booked far in advance,you can turn to something different when you change your mind or something better comes along.I changed my plan to meet a friend on an island in Thailand and stayed for a month.I wouldn’t have had that experience if I had kept to my planned schedule.
　　However,most new travellers usually overly plan their trips.Their whole journey is scheduled.Two days here,three days there.I understand why people do that.When time is short,you want to see as much as possible.You don’t want to waste a single second.
Actually,it is better to slow down your pace.Spending more time in one place allows you to get a better feel of life.You can visit at a more relaxed pace,see more than just the attractions,and open up your schedule to the happy accidents of travel.
When I first made my travel plan,I tried to include everything in it.Then I realised it was unrealistic,and revised my plan.I just listed one or two things I wanted to see each day.It’s an important lesson to learn.I think the best trip plan is to work out the general path you want to take,book the first few nights of your trip,and let your travels unfold (发生) from there.In this way you will never be locked into a certain place if your feelings change.
【语篇导读】 本文是议论文。作者认为旅行的时候不必过度计划自己的行程,要放慢脚步,更好地享受旅途。
(　　)32.What does the underlined word “ditched” in Paragraph 1 mean
[A] Considered. [B] Improved.
[C] Abandoned. [D] Prepared.
【答案】 C
【解析】 猜测词义题。根据第一段中的“I planned everything out in advance”和went with the flow形成的对比可知,作者原先对一切都做了计划,但后来放弃了,决定顺其自然。Abandoned与文中画线词表达含义一致。故选C。
(　　)33.What can we learn about the author from the text
[A] He lives an easy life.
[B] He enjoys travelling freely.

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面的短文,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。
During your school years,you will face many challenges.Sometimes you may not have all the solutions and need help.At this time,peer tutoring (同伴指导) is one of the most helpful tools.Peer tutors are understanding,helpful and especially honest.36.　　
Recognise your mistakes
This will probably be the most uncomfortable part,but peer tutors simply want you to bring out the best in you.37.　　　 They tell the truth about you,which may put you in an awkward position.But you have to learn to accept you’re not perfect and will make mistakes.
You should feel fortunate that your peer tutor is recognising your mistakes and giving you a chance to repair them.
38.　　
Every tutor has a different learning and teaching style.If a tutor teaches you how to solve a maths problem in a way that makes sense to you,but is also different from what you have learnt in class,you will have to use that method because it works for you.If a tutor revises your paper and gives you advice,you will find that your work in the future changes completely.
Change is good.It is by no means something to be afraid of.
Push you in time
Since we are humans,it’s not unusual for us to be lazy sometimes.39.　　　 However,if a tutor notices that you have been inactive,don’t be surprised if they call you out on it.Your tutor wants you to do the great things that you are capable of.
Help you improve
Last but not least,expect to improve.Peer tutoring can be difficult,but finally the goal is for you to improve as a student in various areas.Once you practise peer tutoring at school,you will notice a great change in your grades and your learning ability.40.　　
A.Give you a chance to change
B.Work out the best method for you
C.Of course,it’s nothing to be ashamed of.
D.So I think that’s really worth your efforts.
E.Peer tutors are anxious to push you in study.
F.They are always there to help you out through difficulties.
G.The only way for them to ensure this is to be completely honest with you.

38.【答案】 A
【解析】 本段主要说明如果同伴给我们的建议是有用的,那么我们一定要改变自己,去接纳他们的意见。A项适合作本段的主旨大意句。文中的Change是标题中的change的复现。故选A。
39.【答案】 C
【解析】 根据设空处前后两句叙述可知,此处需要顺接前面的表述,即我们每个人都有懒惰的时候,也要承接下文,表明我们也需要克服这个问题。C项符合语境,能够承上启下。C项中的it指代前文所说的懒惰这件事。故选C。
40.【答案】 D
【解析】 上文提到同伴指导帮助我们解决了学习中的很多问题。所以此处需要表明同伴指导是值得我们的努力的。D项为前一句表述的结果,符合语境。故选D。

　　One possible version:
Dear Tom,
Learning that you are anxious about high school life,I am writing to give you some advice on how to get used to it.
It always comes first to manage your study time wisely,which helps to balance your study and life,and promote your study efficiency.Keeping good living habits is also preferable.Just as one American president said,life is education.Those who fail to live are definitely incapable of learning.Plus,why not do more exercise,which will free you from the study pressure

阅读下面的材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段话,使之构成一篇完整的
短文。
Hiking in the wild is one of Ehlers’ favourite hobbies.And he had a single goal:to hike in the hills of west-central Iowa,which is a wonderful wild place for people who love hiking in the wild.Although it’s about 402 kilometres from the hills of west-central Iowa to Ehlers’ home in Minnesota,he still put it into practice with his friends.
During a long trip home,following a weekend of hiking,Ehlers thought about the small brown dog he had seen trembling alongside the road.At the time,he stopped the car and tried to coax (哄劝) the dog to him but,frightened,it ran off.It immediately disappeared without a trace.
Back home,Ehlers was troubled by that lost dog,which drove him to make up his mind to find that dog.So,four days later,he called his friend Greg,and the two drove back.
Arriving at that place,they came across a local farmer and asked him,“Have you seen a lost dog We had seen the dog trembling alongside the road four days ago.” Meanwhile,Greg described the dog’s appearance to him.
“The dog sounded like one advertised as lost in the local paper.The ad had a phone number for a town in southern Minnesota and the dog’s picture,” the local farmer told them.
Ehlers and Greg were excited to know that the dog’s owners were Jeff and Lisa.So they called Jeff and Lisa to tell them they were finding their dog.Hearing that,Jeff was surprised and said,“We had hiked in Iowa before Thanksgiving with our dog,Rosie,but a fierce dog came out of nowhere and scared Rosie off.We searched in vain for Rosie in the next four days.So we drove back home.”
“We are also driving there now,and it will take about two hours to arrive in Iowa.Tell me exactly where you are.Let’s search Rosie together,” Jeff said.“OK.We will wait for you while looking for Rosie,” Ehlers replied.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
After nearly two hours’ careful search,an amazing thing happened.
Paragraph 2:
Ehlers called Jeff and Lisa again and waited for their arrival.

　　One possible version:
After nearly two hours’ careful search,an amazing thing happened.Greg saw,across a field,the dog moving cautiously away.Upon seeing that,Ehlers’ face turned red,with excitement in the heart,as a deer jumping with joy.Obviously,it was full of nervousness and fear.Ehlers and Greg tried their best to coax Rosie and make it calm down.Eventually they succeeded in coaxing the animal to them.Its nervousness and fear were replaced with joy.It just started touching Ehlers’ face,which made him in a good mood at the moment.
Ehlers called Jeff and Lisa again and waited for their arrival.During that time,Ehlers and Greg played with Rosie.Just 25 minutes later,Jeff and Lisa arrived.Seeing them,Rosie barked and ran to them.They hugged Rosie with excitement.Touched deeply,Jeff and Lisa kept repeating their thanks.And then they returned to Minnesota and became best friends.“It’s good to know there’s still some one out there who cares enough to go to that kind of trouble,” says Lisa.“I figured whoever lost the dog was probably just as close to it as I am to my dogs,” says Ehlers. “If it had been my dog,I’d hope that somebody would be willing to go that extra mile.”
