Frank, Aged 21I 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!Eddie, Aged 20When I started high school I was really nervous too,especially since I had been homeschooled 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 19I'm not going to lie.The first day is kind of frightening (令人恐惧的).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.1.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.2.How did Eddie feel on his first day of high school ? ________A.

Eddie.BWhen high school student Katie Shipley was bom with a serious brain disease,doctors said she wouldn't live to go to school.Now,Katie is not only about to graduate from Southridge High School in Oregon,but she was also named the schooFs prom (高中毕业舞会)queen.Knowing Katie's wishes for prom queen,her friend Courtney Travis began reaching out to find her the prom king she needed to make her a queen.Courtney found Michael Parks,who also thought it was a great idea."I really got to know Shipley," said Michael. "When you take the time to get to know other people,it really gives you a great chance to live for more than yourself."Courtney took a picture of the couple together and put it on her Twitter,explaining their plans for the prom. "It became very popular in the school/1 she said.Their efforts paid off,and Katie was very excited to be named prom queen.On the day of the prom,Katie wore a very beautiful dress.Her grandmother,Joan Fraley,who also went to the prom,said the night will stay with her always.n I was standing there and the children were shouting her name," she said. "They called her name as the new prom queen -1 started crying.I'm greatly thankful to the students of Southridge High School.”Katie repeated that feeling.U I just want to say thank you to my friends for all they did for me.I love you all.'1Todd Corsetti,the principal (校长)at Southridge High School said that seeing Katie as prom queen and the energy and help of his students is one of his "proudest moments."U I think teenagers have great hearts and are really looking to make the world a better place," Todd said. u As we finish our school year,it's a great legacy (遗产)to leave the other classes who come after them."4.When Katie was born,she _______ .A.nearly died in hospitalB.wasn't expected to live longC.wasn't supposed to finish high schoolD.caught a disease caused by doctors' mistakes5.Hearing about Katie's story,Michael _______ .A.turned to his friends for helpB.began to raise money for KatieC.decided to live for others rather than himselfD.was very happy to help Katie realize her dream6.Why did Fraley cry at the prom? ________A.She felt sorry for Katie.B.She thought of Katie's hard life.C.She was invited to Katie*s graduation.D.She was moved by what others did for Katie.7.What is Todd's opinion on the students? ________A.They are the kindest teens.B.They are the hope of the world.C.They set a good example to others.D.They can do much better in the future.cIt's true that many dads in the wild aren*t interested in parenting,but there are some that work pretty hard to give their little ones a good start.Maybe one of these dads will make you rememberyour own dad!The male giant water bug (雄性负子蜻)doesn f t seem to mind a heavy load (负荷物)on his back for his kids.The female puts about 100 to 150 eggs on the back of the male,and then she leaves.Once the female is gone,the male has to look after the eggs.It usually takes one to two weeks for the eggs to hatch (孵化).The father giant water bug jumps around to make sure the growing eggs get enough air and water.All this time he can't fly because of the weight of the eggs growing rapidly on his back.Now let's turn to the male stickleback fish.When the mother leaves after laying her eggs,the father tends his young.If the young fish go too far away,their father helps with their safe return by carrying them back in his mouth.The male stickleback looks after all his young - as many as 100 - until they can live on their own.A similar example can be found in emperor penguins (帝企鹅)living in cold areas.The male emperor penguin goes without food while looking after his egg until it hatches.For about 62 to 67 days,the egg stays on top of the father's feet,in very cold temperatures that drop down to-39°C.As a result,the father may lose nearly 50 percent of his body weight while waiting for his baby penguin to be born!8.What do we know about the giant water bug? _________A.It is unable to fly.B.The eggs grow on the father's back.C.The male must keep still to hatch the eggs.D.The female looks after her eggs together with the male.9.What does the underlined word "tends” in Paragraph 3 mean? _________A.Waits for.B.

Along with three hundred other children and adults,she heads into the one-mile run,followed by a four-and-a-half-mile bike ride.The triathlon is being held in Glendale,Arizona,and the temperature is freezing on the late-October morning.But seeing her father's warm smile makes Emily forget about the cold.

Today men even know how far it is for the earth to go round the sun. They tell us that the earth travels over a thousand miles a minute on its journey round the sun.The sun is really a star. It is much bigger than the earth and it is very hot. Some people have been to the moon but we know that no one can ever go to the sun. It is far too hot for people to live anywhere near it.

And I am one of them. Take my family’s last vacation. It was my six-year-old son’s winter brea k form school, and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day. I had meetings in New York,So I had to get back. But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay. I took my nine-month-old and took off for home.The next day, my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged—okay, ordered—them to wait it out at the airport, to "earn" more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh?Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big-time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.I've made living looking for the best deals and exposing (揭露)the worst tricks. I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade. I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide. And I really do what I believe in.I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money’s worth.

So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule: 1. Think ahead.

Do you have the rightmaterials ready?【2】______2.Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread?【3】______ it takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.3.【4】________ This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.Hopefully that gives you a good start.【5】______ and don’t let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!A.Try new things.B.Ability is easily improved.C.Make three or four instead.D.Understand your food better.E.

AThere once lived in China a very foolish king and queen. One day the queen had a baby daughter. When they saw their baby, they both cried out, “My goodness! How small it is! It’s hairless and toothless! It’s a monster!”they sent for all the doctors in the country and ordered them to prepare some medicine for her.“When she drinks your medicine, she must grow to the right size and have hair and teeth,” the king said, “If you don’t do this, you’ll have a beating.”The doctors thought it impossible, but they dared not say anything against the king’s order. Just then and old doctor stepped forward. “Oh, we shall certainly obey your order,” he said, but it takes time. We have to dig a mineral from the KunLun Mountains when the snow melts for the second time. The snow melts on those mountains only once in six years. So we need twelve years.”At last the king agreed and the doctors took away the little princess. On her twelfth birthday, they brought her back to her parents with long black hair and beautiful teeth. The king and queen were very happy and gave thedoctors expensive presents.21. The doctors would be beaten if .A. the baby daughter didn’t drink their medicineB. they refused to obey he king’s orderC. the baby daughter grew to the right sizeD. the baby daughter became a monster22. The old doctor wanted to keep the king’s daughter for twelve years because .A. they needed a lot of different plantsB. they need a lot of different mineralsC. this would give the baby time to grow upD. they had to dig a mineral the snow melted for the second time23. The doctors thought it impossible .A. for them to change the king’s orderB. for them to prepare the medicine in twelve yearsC. for the small baby to drink the medicineD. for them to make the baby have teeth and hair or grow teeth at once24. the king wouldn’t have given them expensive presents.A. Had the doctors not brought back a beautiful girlB. Had the doctors not found the mineralsC. Had the doctors not been able to prepare the magic medicineD. Were the daughter still a monster twelve years laterBA Spanish company Siesta &Go has opened the first public napping (小睡) space in Madrid. It promises people a quiet rest in the middle of the city’s business center.Napping spaces are nothing new; places to rest are already set up in otherbig cities in the world. But the idea would appear to work well with the culture of Spain, where people traditionally take an afternoon nap, called siesta.The Madrid nap space recently opened with 19 beds. People can use them by the minute or by the hour, and they can also choose either a private or shared room. An hour of napping inside a private room costs about $ l5.Siesta &GO provides all bedding, clean nightshirts and other materials. Nippers can request to be woken up when their time is up. It also offers areas to work, with armchairs, newspapers and coffee for those not wishing to sleep.Philip &Go is one happy customer. Marco says he gets tired during the day because of hard work. He says a siesta is the perfect way to build up energy. “I come for about 30 min utes or something like that. That is usually enough for me to be full of energy.”While many Spanish people love their naps, others like Carlos Villarroja say they are just too busy to keep the tradition. “It’s a Spanish tradition, but I think it’s more of a legend (传说) than a tradition. Because of the lifestyle and the working hours, we have very little free time for a siesta at least during the week.”But many health experts believe there is evidence that taking a short nap can be very good for the body and mind. Scientific studies show that takinga siesta can also prevent illness and lower blood pressure.25. What is not allowed for customers to do?A. Sleep for freeB. Choose a private roomC. Use it as an officeD. Share a room with others26. What does Philip Marco think of the Madrid nap space?A. Costly.B. Helpful.C. Comfortable.D. Convenient27. What’s Carlos Villarroja’s opinion on siestas?A. It is not necessary to take a nap.B. They can treat high blood pleasure.C. People have no time to take a nap.D. It’s not true that Spanish people like naps.CWhat are the biggest problems that society will have to deal with in the new age? There re diseases like AIDS and cancer. There’s climate change, of course. And what about producing enough cheap food and energy for the world’s growing population? Who’s going to solve all these terrible problems? Yes, politicians and world leaders will have a big part to play. Yes businesses will need to create the economic wealth to pay for some of these things. But who’s going to make a much greater difference to something like AIDS or climate change. It’s going to be a scientist. It is the scientist who can turn some new bit of science into a new technology to solve these problems. If you like thinking about the world around you, why not become a scientist? It doesn’t mean you have to wear a white coat and plastic glasses and spend all your time in a lab as most people often imagine! Scientists do all kinds of amazing things that are actually interesting!Military scientists develop not only new weapons but new military technologies that could help make wars out of date. Forensic(法医的) scientists work with the police to find quite small clues to catch criminals. Scientists work in schools and colleges as the teachers and professors who will train tomorrow’s scientists. Don’t think a scientist is far away! Maybe you like cooking? You could be a food technologist helping to keep fruit and vegetables fresher for longer. Perhaps sport is your thing? Do you know that most top athletes work with sports scientists in order or improve theirperformance? You could even be the science writer who gets to spend the life studying the latest advances and sharing them with the world.Looking for something to do for the rest of your life? My advice? Takea long and hard look at science. It is interesting and ever.28. Many problems are mentioned in the first paragraph to .A. suggest they are impossible to be solvedB. introduce the causes of these problemsC. s how the writer’s worry about the future worldD. show scientists play an important part in solving them29. What is needed to solve these problems? .A. Advanced weaponsB. Enough energyC. New technologiesD. A growing population30. Most people think the life of scientists is .A. amazingB. boringC. colorfulD. unreal31. Which of the following statement is NOT true according to the passage?A. Owing to military technologies, there has been no warsB. For those interested in cooking, food technologies may be a choiceC. Forensic scientists play an important part in dealing with crimesD. Most athletes can achieve greater achievement with the help of sports scientistsDWhy do so many tourists come to Easter Island? Because it has world-famous stone statues (雕像) . These statues, whose likenesses look like humans with huge stone cylinders(柱状物)balancing on their heads like hats, have tourists coming from all over the world. The tourists come to see these works of ancient art carved by the early inhabitants of the island. They come to see the mystery that has puzzled historians for decades.Easter Island is located in a remote part Of the South Pacific Ocean about 2,300 miles west of Chile. Easter Island covers just 45 square miles and its Polynesian name is Rapa Nui.On Easter Sunday 1722, a Dutch explorer named Jacob Roggeveen was the first European to see Easter Island. The early Polynesians carved the statues within the holes of the volcano (火山) using only stone tools. Then they moved these huge statues to various destinations throughout the island. These 600 statues range in height from 10 to 40 feet. Some of them weigh as much as 50 tons. How could the early Polynesians lift hundreds of heavy statues out of the volcano? How did they move them across the island to their various locations? All of these questions, as well as many others, remain unanswered.The early islanders probably worshiped (崇拜) these eyeless giants until sometime around 1670. In 1680, a war broke out between two groups of islanders. The victors(胜利者)of the war and ancestors of the present inhabitants, broke down many of the statues. In most cases, they broke the necks of the statues.Now 15 of the statues on Easter Island have been repaired to their original positions on their stone platforms. Even today, using modern tools and machinery, putting up such large statues and balancing cylinders on top of their heads presents a challenging task.32. What do we know about Easter Island?A. It is a big island of Chile.B. It is located in North Pacific OceanC Its early inhabitants were Polynesians D. It was named after a Dutch explorer33. Scientists are still uncertain about .A.why people built the statuesB.how people transported the statuesC.where people made the statuesD.how many statues there are on the island34.What happened in 1680?A.The islanders started a war against outsidersB.Another 15 statues were put upC.People began to worship the statuesD.Many statues were damaged35.The purpose of the text is to .rmB. advertiseC. entertainD. persuade 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。

On the one hand, it’s true that many Americans have cold cereal for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch and instant (方便的) dinners. From busy homemakers to working people, many Americans enjoy the convenience (方便) of fast food that can be ready to serve in 10 minutes or less. On the other hand, many Amer1cansrealize the importance of cooking skills. Parents—e specially mothers’—see the importance of training their children- especially daughter s. Most Americans think that there’s nothing better than a good home-cooked meal. But with cooking, as with any other skill, good results don’t happen by accident.Probably every cook has his or her own way of cooking. But there are some basic skills that most people follow. For example, baking is a main method (方法) of preparing food in America. For that reason, Americans would find it next to impossible to live without an oven. American cooks pay special attention to the balance of foods, too. In planning a big meal they try to include meat, a few vegetables, some bread and often a dessert. They also like to make sure the meal is colorful. Having several different colors of food on the plate usually makes for a healthy meal.For those who need guidance in their cooking, or for those who have just run out of ideas, recipes are a great help. Recipes list all the ingredients for a dish (generally in the order used), the amount of each to use, and a description of how to put them together.28. This passage mainly tells us that .A.

There are a bunch of items on your shopping lists ranging from small gifts, toys and festive decorations to Christmas and New Year cards. What’s your first react ion to products labeled “Made in China”? If you still tend to relate “Made in China”to poor quality. you need to update your ideas. China’s ability to produce high-quality product s h as been recognized by a growing number of foreigners. It ‘s a misunderstanding to associate low quality with“Made in China”.Cameron Purdy, a Web user, says that China manufactures poor-quality products does not mean it cannot manufacture high-quality product s. He explains that the poor-quality products one purchases in the US for example, are made in the quality that the American companies ask for. “The price that you pay for the product has no relationship to the cost of its manufacturing,” suggested Purdy. For example, for an item priced at $20 in the US, the cost of manufacturing it paid by the American company is usually less than $1. To guarantee the room for profit, the Chinese co-manufacturer spends less than $1to produce the item.Amanda Wu, who lives in Shanghai, noted that many t P bra ids have manufacturing factories located in China, and the most convincing exampleof China’s manufacturing quality is Apple products. On the back of the iPhone, one can find the product is Made in China—“Designed by Apple in California. Assembled (装备) in Chin a. ”Chinese and foreign Web users commented that some Chinese pro ducts with good reputations around the world are Haier, Lenovo, GREE, Huawei and China Railway High-speed.On the other hand, foreign misunderstandings can sometimes affect Chinese people’s minds.
