Part of growth involves making positive academic and lifestyle decisions or choices. If students’ decisions are contrary to Thomas Jefferson High’s expectations and standards, students will be held responsible. Homework time after school may be one of the consequences.Reasons for After School Detention include but are not limited to the following:1. Late homework or incomplete work (A detention will be given when a fourth incomplete or late homework occurs in any subject).2. Behavior that disturbs with school purposes or educational processes. Please refer to the teacher’s classroom rules, Rules of Behavior, and Code of Conduct, which are posted in each classroom. Under normal circumstances, a student will be given a warning (and possibly other in-school consequences) before being given a detention. They will be warned that further behavior of the same type will result in a detention. However, if the behavior problem is severe enough, the student may be given a detention without a warning.[写作内容]1. 以约30词概括上文的主要内容。2. 以约120词对留堂这一做法进行议论,内容包括:(1) 你或你同学的留堂经历;(2) 你对留堂制度的看法;(3) 其它督促学生认真学习的办法。 [写作要求]1. 作文中可以使用亲身经历或虚构的故事,也可以参照阅读材料的内容,但不得直接引用原文中的句子。2. 作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称。 [评分标准]概括准确,语言规范,内容合适,语篇连贯。【答案】If students fail to follow Thomas Jefferson High School’s requirements, they would be given detentions as punishment. Reasons for detention include late or incomplete homework and other disturbing behaviors.This reminds me of my friend Li Hua’s experience in primary school. One day, he was talking with another classmate in class although the teacher had warned him several times. As a result, he had to stay for an extra hour after school. In my opinion, detention has its advantages in educating misbehaved students. For one thing, with the detention policy, we students will learn that we should be responsible for our behavior. For another thing, the policy can make us finish our homework on time, which is good for our academic development.However, there are other ways to make students work hard. For example, teachers can reward us with small gifts if we do a good job. Besides, students can be divided into groups to compete with each other so that we will work harder.第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分) 【2011·惠州三调】How long have you been busy, rushing around all day?

Yu Jianwei, an official with the National People’s Congress Internal and Judicial Affairs Department, said that according to a survey, at least 30 million students under the age of 17 have suffered from a variety of emotional and behavioral problems. The number of people under the age of 18 in China is more than 300 million. As early as in 1994, the National Educational Committee (the predecessor of the Ministry of Education) issued a document to guarantee sleep for students. On June 1, 2007, the revised law On the Protection of Minors stated that schools and parents must ensure that primary and secondary school students get enough sleep. The Educational Ministry regulates the amount of homework students are given and also dictates that teachers are not allowed to occupy students' spare time, including week-ends and vacations, with extra classes. In 2008, schools in three districts in Shanghai began asking students to arrive half an hour later, and replaced the original morning reading time with physical activity. In addition to Shenyang, many other provinces and cities have introduced measures to ensure primary and secondary school students get more sleep.【写作内容】1.以约30个词概括这段短文的内容;2.然后以约120个词结合自身所见谈谈你对“青少年的睡眠与健康”的看法,内容包括: (1)青少年缺乏睡眠的危害; (2)青少年缺乏睡眠的原因; (3)你的看法。【写作要求】 1、可以参照阅读材料但不得直接引用原文的句子; 2、作文中不得出现真实的姓名和学校名称。【评分标准】 概括准确,语言规范,内容合适,篇章连贯。_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】One possible version: From the report we can clearly see that a 1ack of sleep may cause many health problems,especially for adolescents.And the problem has gained extensive attention of the society. According to my experience, I learn that a long-term lack of sleep will not only make us tired but also make it difficult for us to adapt to school. Even worse, we are at the risk of developing dangerous behavior such as depression, smoking and so on. As a student, I know there are many reasons for our loss of sleep, mostly connected with the pressure to succeed. For example, we have to spend much time on homework and other study assignments from teachers and parents. Besides, the present educational system is an important factor. Luckily,some effective steps have been taken to ensure enough sleep for students. So I think only by taking a joint effort of families, schools and the government can we ensure students get more sleep to keep healthy. 完形填空(共15小题; 每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从 1―15各题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该题涂黑。【2011·揭阳期末考】 I climbed the stairs slowly,carrying a big suitcase,my father following with two more.

He begged for help from passers-by,but they all pretended not to have heard what he was saying and went by quickly. Then he stopped me and wanted me to give him the help. At first I could not accept that because I didn't think he was telling the truth. But when I saw tears in his eyes,I began to believe that he might be in the real trouble,so,just immediately I gave him all the money I had. When he took the money, his face turned red. Before he left,he expressed his great thanks and also said he would give back my money when he reached home.When I came back to school and told my classmates about my story,they held different opinions. Some of them thought that I did a good deed to have given a hand to the person in trouble,while others said that I was cheated.

In this collection, Bill Bryson is writing from home. We find he assesses life both in New England and in the contemporary United States. With the telescopic perspective(远望视角) of one who has stepped out of the American mainstream and come back after 20 years, Bryson holds the mirror up to U.S. culture and feel strange to his motherland.47. This book is a guide to the world’s unspoilt sights and experiences. It presents one thousand fresh and fascinating alternatives to hundreds of well-known tourist destinations and sights, including alternatives to the Carnival in Rio and the beaches of Thailand, the most-visited national parks, over-rated restaurants and holiday sites.48. Returning to the U.S. after 20 years in England, Bill Bryson decided to reconnect with his mother country by hiking the length of the 2100-mile Appalachian Trail. Awed by merely the camping section of his local sporting goods store, he still goes into the wilderness and learns hard lessons about self-reliance.49. A travelogue by Bill Bryson is as close to a sure thing as funny books get. This book is no exception. Following an urge to rediscover his youth, the author leaves his native Des Moines, Iowa, in a journey that takes him to across 38 states in the country, which is like a small town in his opinion. 50. Born in Iowa, Bryson backpacked through Europe as a young man. While living in England some 20 years later, he revisited many of the same places from arctic Norway’s northern lights to romantic Capri in Italy. Here he jumps back and forth between old memories and new experiences.【答案】46. C 47. D 48. A 49. B 50.

Best wishes Li Hua(请在答题纸上作答)【答案】Dear Ann,I’m writing to tell you about my opinion on what we can do to save energy for a better future.If we want to save energy then we need to change the way we behave. On the one hand, we need to buy appliances that are more energy efficient and limit the amount of time we use them. On the other hand, to reduce the effect the greenhouse gases have on our atmosphere, we should plant more trees. As we all know, trees can absorb carbon dioxide and so they help to counter the smoke produced by our cars. What we may also do is to turn off lights even for a few minutes, for good habits can contribute to reducing the negative effects of waste.In short, if everyone cares about our earth, our efforts will make a difference.

She says, “Although letters are slow, waiting for something good is not wholly a bad thing. Nothing beats a hand written letter.” "When I was a graduate studying overseas twenty five years ago, my mother wrote to me daily. It was wonderful to receive those letters. They often said nothing more than everyone was thinking of me. I continue this tradition with several friends who are scattered worldwide. Hand written letters show the love that we have for family and friends. Email cannot replace the smile of actually getting the letter. The warm, sincere thank- you note, or the sweetly scented love letter we usually received and sent in those days is irreplaceable" she said.Will electronic age stamps replace letters? Hopefully not, since it takes with it a culture rich in colour, history, and communication. Letters, like bits of ourselves, deserve to be stored away for future readers, giving them insight into details as small as the price and pattern of stamps, and as great as personal insights exchanged long ago.【写作内容】 1. 以约30词概括以上短文的主要内容: 2. 然后以约120个词以“Will written letters die out ?”为主题写一篇短文,并包括如下要点: (1)有些人认为用手机收发短信和用因特网收发邮件更加方便快捷,写信很费时间 (2)有些人喜欢和朋友或家人写信 (3)你的观点【写作要求】 1. 你可以使用实例或其他论述方法支持你的论点,也可以参照阅读材料的内容,但不得直接引用阅读材料中的句子2. 作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称【评分标准】 概括准确、语言规范、内容合适,篇章连贯。 (请在答题纸上作答)【答案】Possible version IThanks to email and text, people nowadays make their communication quick and convenient, and fewer and fewer letters are written. However, it is still believed that written letters are irreplaceable. It’s true that many people find it easy to send emails and text messages and often avoid writing letters completely. However, I don’t agree that written letters will gradually disappear.First of all, it seems to me that letters written by people include a piece of soul and letters are a reflection of human emotions. For instance, using the Internet my sister still likes to receive ordinary letters by post, because they help her to feel a close bond with people living far away. Secondly, for many years the written word was one of the most powerful tools in the world. Moreover, for many people, to write a letter is an element of their traditions. In many cases the Internet is not considered to be substitute for letters. In conclusion, letters will never become extinct because of their importance to many generations of people.

To the teacher’s surprise, Xiao Li wasn’t just texting her friends the latest gossip. She was actually blogging about what was being taught in the classroom, sharing her opinions about the information and material with her classmates and other students.The case aroused a heated discussion among teachers and students city-wide. Miss Li, an English teacher from another nearby school said, “I am amazed at how creative the students can be when writing on their blogs. To me it’s a great way for students to improve their writing skills while writing about personal feelings and experiences.” But other teachers are worried that blog-addiction may interfere with their students’ study.A supporter and classmate of Xiao Li said, “We love her blog!

Some view it as a great way to share ideas and motivate students, while others fear it will interfere with students’ study.There are arguments both for and against student-blogging. On the negative side, if students blog too frequently it may interfere with their study. And if they are completely unsupervised, some inappropriate topics may be discussed. On the other hand, blogging allows students the chance to write about the things that are most important to them. Because they are interested in those topics, they will be more motivated to write, thus practicing their skills. It will also give the blog-readers the chance to practice their reading skills, too. Furthermore, blog-based discussions will help to develop students’ ability to think independently and communicate with others. For these reasons, I am generally a big supporter of student-blogging. Of course, there have to be some limits such as parents monitoring their children to make sure they don’t spend too much time on it and the subjects discussed are suitable 展开更多...... 收起↑ 资源预览
