friends，and no one wanted to talk to a new girl．To make things worse，they put me in "Section L"．I found out later that everyone called Section L "Loserville"．It was sort of an open secret that it was the section for troublemakers and not-so-smart kids．When I found out，I wanted to scream．I had alw ays been a good student and had amazing friends，and now everyone thought I was a loser!I did text my friends in Illinois almost every night，especially my best friend，Ana．At first my friends wanted to hear all about it．But then some stopped texting back once I said something about how miserable I wa s．One night when I was texting with Ana，I complained about another friend who had just done that． Ana's texts came really fast for the next few minutes and they surprised me．She said that she was tired of hearing about how bad everything was in New Jersey，too．She said she did not want to hurt my feelings but that I needed to stop feeling so sorry for myself all the time，I had to try to make things better．The next day，I thought a lot about what Ana had said．She was right!I wish I could say that everything changed overnight after that，but it didn't．I was still stuck in "Loserville"，and some people were still mean to me，even though I tried to just stay out of their way．But what did change was me-I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and did something about making friend s．I signed up to make sets for the school play．I met a lot of new people there，and suddenly I had friends t o say hi to in the halls!I still miss Illinois sometimes，but life in New Jersey isn't so hard anymore．Even though I couldn't changemy situation，I could change my attitude-and that made all the difference．（1）"Loserville" is a section for ．A．failuresB．good studentsC．class secretsD．newcomers（2）The writer complained all the time in the new environment because ．A．Ana didn't text back to herB．her friends hurt her feelingsC．she was unfairly treatedD．she was a good student（3）What made a difference in changing the situation？A．She went back to Illinois．B．She ended friendship with Ana．C．She fought back with her classmates．D．She began to make friends with others．（4）The best title for the passage can be ．A．Lasting FriendshipB．An Incidence at SchoolC．Say Goodbye to "Loserville"D．Unhappiness in "Loserville"6．（6分）These days everyone is worried about the size of their carbon footprint．In order to reduce global warming，we need to make our carbon footprints smaller．But how much CO are we responsible for？A new book by Mike Berners-Lee （a leading expert in carbon foot-printing） might be able to help．The C arbon Foot print of Everything looks at the different things we do and buy，and calculates the amount of CO2 they produce，including the ingredients，the electricity，the equipment，the transport and the packaging．A nd it's frightening how much carbon dioxide everything produces．But all of this can help us decide which beer to drink．From Berners-Lee's calculations，it's clear that a pint （568 ml） of locally-brewed （酿制的） beer has a smaller carbon footprint than a bottle of imported beer．T his is because the imported beer has been transported from far away，and it uses more packaging．The local beer only produces 300 g of CO2-but the imported beer produces 900 g!So，one pint of local beer is better f or the environment than three cans of cheap foreign beer from the supermarket．Berners-Lee has even calculated the carbon footprint of cycling to work．Nothing is more environmentally -friendly than riding a bike，surely？Well，it depends on what you've had to eat before．To ride a bike we nee d energy and for energy we need food．So，if we eat a banana and then ride a kilometer and a half，our foot print is 65 g of CO2．However，if we eat bacon before the bike ride，it's 200 g．In fact，bananas are good in general because they don't need packaging．They can be transported by boat and they grow in natural sunlig ht．So，does this mean that cycling is bad for the environment？Absolutely not．If you cycle，you don ' t use y our car；and the fewer cars on the road，the fewer traffic jams．And cars in traffic jams produce three times more CO2 than cars travelling at speed．Cycling also makes you healthy and less likely to go to a hospital．A nd hospitals have very big carbon footprints!So，maybe it's time for us all to start making some changes．Pass me a banana and a pint of local beer，pl ease．（1）Which of the followings produces the smallest carbon footprints？A．A pint of local beer．B．A bottle of imported beer．C．A banana before a 1.5 km bike ride．D．Bacon before a 1.5 km bike ride．（2）According to the article，the author suggests choosing the local food because it is ．A．more tastyB．easier to buyC．better packagedD．more energy-saving（3）The purpose of writing this article is to ．A．promote a new bookB．advertise the imported beerC．instruct how to measure the carbon footprintD．encourage people to reduce the production of CO27．（8分）Most adults firmly believe that as kids reach their teens，they start to take crazy risks that get the m in trouble．Do teenagers simply love taking all risks much more than adults？A recent study suggests othe rwise．Scientists designed a simple experiment involving 33 teenagers and three other age groups．In the experim ent，the researchers tried to distinguish between two very different kinds of risk-taking．The first they called a willingness to take known risks （when the probability of winning is clear） and the second they called a wil lingness to take unknown risks （when the possibility of success is uncertain）．The study offered participants the opportunity to play two kinds of games．They had the chance to win mo ney，with one game offering a known risk and the other offering an unknown risk．On each round of the gam e，each participant had to choose between taking a sure＄5 and known or unknown risks of winning a lot mor e．If on one particular round they had picked the＄5 for sure choice，then they got＄5．But if on that round t hey had chosen to take a risk，the rules of the game will determine whether or not they had won．If they did win，they went home with between＄8 and ＄125．And，of course，if they lost，they went home with nothin g．What the scientists found was really quite surprising．It turned out that the average teenager was very hesi tant when risks were known-more careful than college students or parents-aged adults，and about as careful as grandparent-aged adults．This means that when the risks were known，teenagers were not risky in their b ehavior at all．Only when the risks were unclear did teenagers choose them more often than other groups．U nder those kinds of conditions，they were much more willing to take a risk than any other group．So，what does all of this mean？The research suggests that adults should probably focus more energy on tr ying to educate teenagers about risks than limiting them．Teenagers who understand the risks associated wit h a decision are more likely to be careful in their behavior．（1）This experiment was carried out byA．dividing the teens into three groupsB．comparing the reactions to different risksC．giving equal amount of awards to the participantsD．observing the emotional changes of the teenager（2）When facing known risks，teenagers tended to be ．A．ambitsB．cautiousC．anxiousD．curious（3）Which group in the study were more likely to take unknown risks？A．Teenagers．B．College students．C．Parent-aged adults．D．Grandparent-aged adults．（4）According to the study，parents should focus on ．A．guaranteeing children to be carefulB．setting age limits on dangerous activitiesC．respecting teens to make their own choicesD．guiding teens to learn more about the effect of risks8．（8分）Shark attacks not only disturb beach activities，but can affect associated tourist industries．Shark nets are a common solution to preventing shark attacks on beaches，but they cause dangers to sea ecosyste ms．Seeking a cost-effective way to monitor beach safety over large areas，we have developed a system called Shark Spotter．It combines artificial intelligence （AI），computing power，and drone （无人机） technology to identify and warn lifesavers to sharks near swimmers．The project is a cooperation between the University of Technology Sydney and The Ripper Group，which is pioneering the use of drones-called "Westpac Little Ri pper Lifesavers"-in the search and rescue movement in Australia．SharkSpotter can detect sharks and other potential threats using real-time aerial imagery．The system anal yses video from a camera attached to a drone to monitor beaches for sharks，send warnings，and conduct re scues．Developed with techniques known as "deep learning"，the Shark Spotter system receives imagery fro m the drone camera and attempts to identify all objects in the scene．Once certain objects are detected，the y are put into one of 16 categories：shark，whale，dolphin，rays，different types of boats，surfers，and swi mmers．If a shark is detected，Shark Spotter provides both a visual sign on the computer screen and an audible war ning to the operator．The operator confirms the warning and sends text messages from the Shark Spotter sys tem to the Surf Life Savers for further action．In an emergency，the drone is equipped with a lifesaving flotat ion pod （漂浮仓） together with an electronic shark repellent （驱逐装置） that can be dropped into the water in cases where swimmers are in severe trouble，trapped in a rip，or if there are sharks close by．In January 2018，the Westpac Little Ripper Lifesavers was used to rescue two young swimmers caught in a r ip at Lennox Head，NSW．The drone flew down the beach some 800 meters from the lifeguard station，and a lifesaving flotation pod was dropped from the drone．The complete rescue operation took 70 seconds．We believe Shark Spotter is a win-win for both marine life and beachgoers．This unique technology combin es dynamic video image processing AI and advanced drone technology to creatively deal with the global chall enge of ensuring safe beaches，protecting environments，and promoting tourism．（1）A Shark Spotter is ．A．a solution to monitor sharksB．an equipment to identify lifesaversC．a technology to prevent shark attacksD．a project to pioneer the use of drones（2）When a shark is spotted near a swimmer，the system will ．A．take timely actionB．analyze the visual dataC．classify the identified objectsD．turn on "deep learning" mode（3）The example in the 5th paragraph shows us that the system is ．A．efficient in saving livesB．effective in detecting sharksC．smart in driving sharks awayD．practical over the whole sea area（4）What is the author's attitude towards the future of SharkSpotter？A．Doubtful．B．Optimistic．C．Negative．D．Objective．第二节（共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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．9．（10分）Nowadays，WeChat is about expressing our opinions and Weibo is about collecting things we lik e．Both of them develop our self-focus．Self-focus simply means you pay attention to how you feel，think and behave．Self-focus isn't naturally a bad thing．Particularly in individualistic （个人主义的） cultures，we value our ability to be self-aware． （1）Unfortunately，when you are regularly focusing on yourself，you'll notice any dissatisfaction，anxiety，or g eneral discomfort you might not have otherwise． （2）As a result，self-focus contributes to a wide ran ge of mental health problems like anxiety．But quitting technology is no longer a practical solution． （3）For example，don't post about things you did，which focuses your attention on yourself．Instead，you could share advice and words of support fro m your smart phone．As a result，you'll feel better，and so will the people around you．Do you like to take selfies （自拍）？It's easy to take a quick picture of yourself to show what you re doing，or how you re feeling．But paying attention to ourselves often makes us feel worse． （4）Do your best to highlight （突出） the wonderful things that make them special．In this way，you won't focus so much on y our bad hair day，and you will get along better with your friends．（5） But if we can learn to move the focus off ourselves and onto doing good for others，technology can help us grow．Anyway，the point is that it's up to you to handle the ability of your self-focus．A．Too much self-focus means few friends．B．Self-focus is generally helpful in daily life．C．Therefore，try taking pictures of your friends．D．In fact，we can use technology in ways that are less self-focused．E．By bringing your attention to those negative emotions，you strengthen them．F．We want to know who we are and why we do what we do to uncover possible ways to improve our lives．G．Technology-when used in certain ways is having negative effects on our mental health and well-being．第三部分：书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节（15分）10．（15分）假设你是红星中学高三学生李华，你的英国朋友Jim对中国文化很感兴趣．他即将过生日，你给他准备了一件礼物并写信给他，内容包括：1．生日祝福；2．礼物介绍；3．选择该礼物的原因．注意：1．词数不少于50；2．信的开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数．Dear Jim，Yours，Li Hua

However, it turns out there’s an even smaller and more poisonous form of plastic pollution entering remote reaches of the globe. A new study published in Environmental Research found significant quantities of nanoplastics in ice samples from both the North and South Poles.“Now we know that nanoplastics are transported to these comers of the Earth in these quantities. This indicates that nanoplastics are really a bigger pollution problem than we thought,” study lead author Dusan Materic said in a press release.Nanoplastics are plastics that are smaller than a micrometer in size. Their small size means they are more difficult to study than microplastics, or plastics between five millimeters and a micrometer. But they maybe even more dangerous.“Nanoplastics are very toxicologically active compared to, for instance, microplastics,and that’s why this is very important” Materic said.Materic and his team used new methods to measure nanoplastic pollution in ice samples from Greenland and Antarctica. They sampled a 14-meter-deep ice core (核) from the Greenland icecap and sea ice from Antarcia’s McMurdo Sound. They found that there were an average of 13.2 nanograms per milliliter of nanoplastics in the Greenland ice and an average of 52.3 nanograms per milliliter in the Antarctic ice.But what was even more surprising than the amount of nanoplastics in the remote ice was just how long they had sat there. “In the Greenland core, we see nanoplastic pollution happening all the way from the 1960s. So organisms, despite the lack of the solid evidence, likely all over the world, have been exposed to it for quite some time now,” Materic said.The study also looked at the types of plastic present in the samples. Half of the Greenland nanoplastics were polyethylene (PE), the kind of plastic used for plastic bags and packaging. A quarter came from tires and a fifth were polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is, used for clothing and bottles.8．Why should researchers focus more on nanoplastics?A．They are more important to science.B．They are smaller but more dangerous.C．They are easily polluted by ocean water D．They are more active in coldsurroundings.9．What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Para.6?A．The Greenland core.B．The Antarctic ice.C．The amount of nanoplastics.D．Nanoplastics pollution.10．What can we learn about nanoplastics?A．The North and South poles are the birthplace of nanoplastics.B．Nanoplastics have less influence on the pa net than microplastics.C．Nanoplastics found in the samples are widely used in the daily life.D．Nanoplastics have been existing since the 1960s throughout the world.11．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Microplastics—proving more dangerous.B．Nanoplastics—making its way to the poles.C．Nanoplastics—posing a threat to people’s life.D．Microplastics—setting the alarm bells ringing.Breathing is something you do all day long, without even thinking about it. However, you might be doing it wrong. Research shows that the way you breathe affects the amount of oxygen (氧气) you take in，as well as how you think and feel.So which is it? Do you breathe through your nose or your mouth? Some health experts recommend people breathe in through the nose and out through their mouth. Others say that people should just focus on breathing easily, paying no attention to their mouth or nose preference. But mouth breathing has also been connected with bad breath, high blood pressure and bad teeth.Nose breathing may improve how memories are stabilized (稳定) in our brains, according to Swedish researchers. During the study, participants smelled 12 different smells and they were asked to breathe either through their nose or mouth for an hour afterwards. Then, they were presented with the original set of smells and a new set. Those who smelled with their nose remembered the smells better.A research team recognized the differences in brain activity that happened when seven epilepsy (癫痫) patients breathed through the nose or through the mouth. The team found three areas of the brain where activity is connected with breathing. These areas showed more changes in brain activity only when volunteers breathed in through their noses.So, should people breathing through the mouth change their breathing habits? If you’re happy with the way you breathe and you aren’t experiencing any health problems, be yourself and just keep your own way. But if you think it might be time for a change, focus on breathing through your nose until it becomes a habit. It might help you survive an emergency. 12．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．Your life style.B．How you breathe.C．How you think and feel.D．The oxygen you take in.13．What did Swedish researchers find?A．Nose breathing may improve memory.B．Mouth breathing causes health problems.C．People breathing through the nose identify smells difficultly.D．People breathing through the mouth have a good sense of taste.14．What is the effect of nose breathing according to the research?A．It helps one to stay healthy.B．It cures bad breath and snoring.C．It makes one’s brain more active.D．It improves one’s sense of smell.15．What does the author think of nose breathing?A．It’s hard to get used to.B．It’s suitable for everybody.C．It’s what people have to do.D．It’s what people can benefit from.二、七选五host with an opportunity to give the guests small gifts. The object of the game is to place the donkey’s tail as close as possible to the place where it should actually be. Typically, the winner of a round will receive a small prize.17 . Generally, you need a large picture of a donkey without a tail and pictures of the donkey’s tail. You’ll also need a blindfold. Besides. you need to prepare a pin for each tail so that kids can attach the tails to the donkey.When you choose an area for the game, keep security in mind. Since players may head off in completely wrong directions, it’s important to find a rather large area. The area had better be flat, without objects like big stones on the ground. 18 .Here are the steps of the game. One at a time, blindfold the kid. hand him the tail you’ve labeled for him, and turn him slowly around at the starting point. 19 . All other players should keep out of the blindfolded kid’s way as he makes his way to the wall.The kid should walk with his arms outstretched and place the tail as soon as he touches the wall. 20 . Then gather everyone to examine the picture and identify the winner — the player who has made the best attempt to pin the tail on the donkey in the proper position.A．Now, the game is popular worldwideB．Otherwise, kids may fall over and get injuredC．When touching the wall, the kid should stand stillD．It’s a western game primarily used at parties for kidsE．To play the game, you need to prepare certain objectsF．Repeat the process until all the kids have taken turns playing itG．Point him accurately towards the wall where the donkey picture is and step back三、完形填空In my ninth-grade World History class, Mrs. Bartlett announced a new project.

It was winter time, and the sea was very cold, so the captain said to his sailors, "If one of you stays in the water during the whole night, I will give him my ship. But if he comes out before the sun appears, I shall get his wages."The sailors had heard about the captain's cheating, so they didn't trust (信任) him. But then one of them, who thought that he was cleverer than the captain, said that he would do it. He got into the water, and, though it was very cold, he stayed in it. When it was nearly morning, some fishermen lit a fire on the shore about half a mile away."You are cheating," the captain said to the sailor. "The fire's warming you.""But it's half a mile away!" said the sailor."A fire's fire," answered the captain. "I have won."The sailor came out of the water, and said, "Perhaps you think that you are clever because you have won my wages, but you can't cook a chicken.""I can," answered the captain."If you cook this chicken," said the sailor, "I shall work for you without wages for seven years, but if you can't, you will give me your ship."The captain agreed, took the chicken and said, "Where's the fire?""There it is," answered the sailor. "On the shore.""But it's half a mile away," said the captain angrily." 'A fire's fire,' you said," answered the sailor.

It had to be exactly the same size and quality as she wanted a pair of earrings made. "Can you give me any advice on how to get such a pearl?" said the man. The jeweler regretfully replied, "I would say it’s exactly impossible to find one exactly like that pearl."The rich man insisted that the jeweler advertise in the newspapers, offering $25,000 for the matching pearl. Many people answered the advertisement but nobody had a pearl that was just right.Just when the jeweler had given up hope, a little old lady came into his store.

AIn America, when the eighth graders leave the middle school, they are often worried about moving to the high school. It is a hard time for them, but it can be an exciting one as well. To make it easier, students need to get familiar with their school.Even though they’ve done this already in the middle school, it’s still important to find where their classrooms are. Most schools take students to the high school for a visit at the end of their eighth grade year. And, most schools also have a freshman(新生) speech for parents and students before the first year begins. Sometimes the main office will give away a map of the school. This can help students and parents to find different places in the school.One way to know your high school more and make new friends is to join a club or play a sport. Schools often offer chances to join different clubs and sports. Fall activities begin in August before the first day of school. If you are not interested in sports, there are clubs for any interest, such as drama, dance, chess, photography, community service, etc. These clubs allow students from different grades. By joining an activity, students can find new friendships, not to mention improving their chances in future college applications. The school office will have a list of activities offered at the school and information on how to join them.What’s more, to have a great start to a high school year, students can write down some of their worries, and ask for help from teachers and school workers.1. According to the text, most students feel ________ when entering the high school.A. excitedB. nervousC. lonelyD. disappointed2. Which of the following is TRUE about the school clubs?A. There are fewer students from higher grades in the school clubs.B. The school clubs in high school only welcome sports fans.C. Summer activities begin before school starts.D. The school office can help new students join school clubs.3. What is the purpose of this text?A. To tell the new students how to learn in high schoolB. To introduce new schoolsC. To give the teachers some adviceD. To give advice to new high school studentsBIf you're reading this, then you're probably studying English. Maybe you speak a couple of other languages too. But what are the British like when it comes to learning languages?According to a survey published by the European Commission, the British are officially the worst language learners in Europe-62 percent of them can't speak any other language apart from their own! While 38 percent of Britons speak at least one foreign language, only 18 percent speak two.However, the European Union data show that 56 percent speak at least one foreign language and 28 percent speak at least two. Moreover, 51 percent of EU citizens can have a conversation in English.Learning a foreign language is not a popular choice at schools in Britain; children start studying a foreign language at the age of 11 and many give up completely at 14. So why don't young people continue with languages at school? Research suggests that students think that it is more difficult to get good grades in languages than in other subjects such as science or history.The government is now looking for different ways to improve language learning. One idea is to start much earlier and introduce foreign languages from the age of five. Another plan is to give schoolchildren more choices and expand(增加) the range of languages taught to include Arabic, Mandarin and Urdu.Mandarin is predicted to become the second most popular foreign language learned in UK schools. Gareth from Wales says, "I am learning Chinese and find it fun." Another student, Thomas from London, says, "Just saying that I learn Mandarin impresses people. Even having a very basic level gives you an advantage." Brighton College headmaster Richard Cairns says, "One of my key tasks is to ensure that pupils are equipped for the realities of the 21st century. One of those realities is that China has the fastest-growing economy in the world."It may be a challenging task to change the Brits' attitude to learning languages but the government is determined to try.4. What does the survey published by the European Commission indicate?A. Britons aren't fond of speaking other languages.B. Britons are the people who are excellent in languages.C. More than half of EU citizens can only speak one language.D. English is a second language to half of EU citizens.5. Why don't British students pick up foreign languages?A. Because they don't want to make an effort.B. Because they have too many subjects to learn.C. Because English is the most widely spoken language.D. Because they feel other languages boring and useless.6. What does the passage mainly tell?A. British students are poor in language learning.B. British students are losing their advantages of learning languages.C. There is no need for the British to learn other languages.D. The British government is encouraging language learning.CFamily fights are never pleasant. Whether you are dealing with a loud sister or a stubborn mom or dad, the situation can be bad. At least that’s what we have learned to expect.What if it could be different? What if family fights and conflicts could be turned into opportunities to become closer? What if problems could be solved with everyone walking away feeling more deeply cared for and loved?Family fighting is, on one level, about power. Someone is telling someone else what to do. In a short moment, emotions(情绪) can be brought out and the fight is on. You can go down that old road or you can try something different.In any fight, you have a need to be listened to and understood. People raise their voices and shout at each other because they’re not being listened to. It’s totally unconscious. You want your mom or dad to listen and understand. But you always seem to forget the person you’re fighting with has the same need to be listened to. So if you can put aside your need for a few minutes, the situation will change quickly. Give the other person some time to express hisor her feelings, and you will earn your turn to be listened to.And while you are listening, you have to listen for the right information. The best way to do this in emotional situations is to forget most of the words because many people can’t express what they are feeling with words alone, especially when they are upset.But if the situation starts to get out of hand, it would be wise to just calm down and leave the problem until later because many fights happen at the wrong time. The situation will die down quickly, usually in less than 30 seconds. You can either move on to problem solving or reach an agreement to work on it at a better time.This way, everyone will feel respected and listened to, even when there is conflict. Emotions will be understood and respected, and it will bring your family closer together.7. From the first 3 paragraphs, we can conclude that ______.A. people had better avoid family fights.B. family members fight to control each otherC. family fights can be changed into something positiveD. when family members fight, it’s worse as they know each other’s weakness8. In the author’s opinion, the key to dealing with family fights is to ______.A. satisfy the need to be listened to firstB. make sure that you’re the first to be listen ed toC. pay no attention to what others say in emotional situationsD. stop quarrelling when you feel you are giving orders9. When the situation gets out of control, it’s best to ______.A. wait for a suitable moment to speakB. let the other person express their feelingsC. work on a written agreement firstD. move on to problem solving10. The main purpose of this article is to ______.A. tell readers that family fights are not that badB. teach reader how to listen in family fightsC. remind readers to show respect in family fightsD. give advice on dealing with family fights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。
