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 of high school. 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 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 homeschooled (家中教学) 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 (高年级学生) 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.

C. Teachers provide much care for students.
D. Students should make good use of their time.
2. How did Eddie feel on his first day of high school?

“Lives of great men all remind us that we can make our lives sublime (崇高的)” is a line from A Psalm of Life (《人生颂》) that Chen Lin read in a Learn video when he was 96 years old.
With a “life is to give, not to take” attitude, Chen Lin devoted his life to the development of foreign language education in China.
Born in 1922, Chen worked in foreign education for more than 70 years. In 1950, he started teaching at Beijing Foreign Studies University. At the university, Chen was known for his nickname of “Three UP Professor”, since he always insisted on “standing up” and “speaking up” when teaching. Also, when class was over, he would instantly “shut up”.
In the 1980s, in most English classes, teachers did most of the speaking, while students mostly only listened. But Chen encouraged students to speak and practice more. Outside of class, Chen still tried his best to popularize English among common people. In 1981, he took part in the TV program Follow Me (《跟我学》) and taught people English in a fun way, which started a craze for learning English.
In 1999, Chen led experts to develop English curriculum standards (课程标准). Before that, English teaching goals from primary to university were not connected. But the standards changed the situation, making English education work like “one package”.
To help students learn English more effectively, Chen advised providing suitable English-learning material for students at different levels. “I have been a teacher all my life, and I want to be an English teacher again in my next life.” Chen said.
“I think there is no more noble profession than to teach and make students useful to the people.”
4. What can we know according to the passage?
A. Chen Lin was the leading expert in developing English curriculum standards.
B. Most teachers encouraged students to speak and practice more in the 1980s.
C. Chen Lin was famous for his attitude toward life.
D. Chen Lin created Follow Me alone to encourage students to learn English.
5. Why did Chen Lin teach people English in the TV program Follow Me?
A. To become more famous in China. B. To make English popular among common people.
C. To encourage more people to attend his class. D. To show his fun way of teaching English.
6. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Chen Lin decided to teach English again.
B. Chen Lin thought only teaching was a noble profession.
C. Chen Lin was proud of being an English teacher.
D. Chen Lin hoped more people could become English teachers.
7. Which of the following words can best describe Chen Lin?

What kind of people can become scientists? When a group of researchers posed that question to ninth-and 10th-graders, almost every student gave such responses as “People who work hard” or “Anyone who seems interested in the field of science.”
Many of these same students struggled to imagine themselves as scientists, citing concerns such as “I’m not good at science” and “Even if I work hard, I will not do well.” It’s easy for them to see a scientist’s work as arising from an inborn talent.
But for high school students, learning more about some struggles of scientists can help students feel more motivated to learn science. Researchers at Teachers College, Columbia University and the University of Washington designed an intervention to change students’ beliefs that scientific achievement reflects ability rather than effort by exposing students to stories of how accomplished scientists struggled and overcame challenges in their scientific efforts.
During the study, the students read one of three types of stories about Albert Einstein, Marie Curie and Michael Faraday. Intellectual struggle stories: stories about how scientists “struggled intellectually,” such as making mistakes while tackling a scientific problem and learning from them. Life struggle stories: stories about how scientists struggled in their personal lives, such as not giving up in the face of poverty or lack of family support. Achievement stories: stories about how scientists made great discoveries, without any discussion of coexisting challenges.
Researchers found that students who heard either type of “struggle stories” improved their science performance post-intervention, relative to students in the control group. The effect was especially pronounced for lower performing students, for whom exposure to struggling stories led to significantly better science-class performance than low-performing students who read achievement stories. In addition, students who read struggle stories reported feeling more personally connected to the scientists. By identifying a scientist’s struggles and introducing the growth mindset he or she applied to accomplish great works, the students were able to empathize(共情)with the scientists during their own struggles.
8. Why do students fail to imagine themselves as scientists?
A. They lack interest in science. B. They don’t possess inborn talent,
C. They are short of confidence. D. They have no ability to study science
9. What’s the purpose of the intervention?
A. To introduce some inspirational stories to students.
B. To expose students to scientists’ great achievements.
C. To ensure students will become scientists in the future.
D. To clear students’ misunderstandings of scientific work.
10 The underlined word “pronounced” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ________.
A. delicate B. permanent C. doubtful D. apparent
11. What can we learn from the research?
A. Science ability has nothing to do with efforts.
B. Students are more motivated by achievement stories.
C. Scientists’ struggle stories can influence readers’ beliefs.
D. Low-performing students tend to feel connected to scientists.
D
People with high levels of niacin, also known as vitamin B3, in their blood may be more likely to have a heart attack or stroke than those with lower levels. Excessive amounts of the vitamin, which is routinely added to fortified food and can be taken as a supplement, may inflame blood vessels.
Heart attacks and stroke are leading causes of death worldwide. While researchers have made significant strides over the past few decades in discovering the risk factors for these conditions, they haven’t identified them all.
In an effort to fill these gaps, Stanley Hazen at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio and his colleagues collected blood samples from 2331 adults in the US and 832 adults in Europe who had elected to undergo cardiovascular screenings. The team analysed the samples for substances called metabolites, byproducts of metabolic processes such as digestion. The researchers then tracked incidents of cardiac events, such as heart attacks and strokes, among the participants over three years.
They found that people with elevated levels of a metabolite called 4PY, which only arises when the body breaks down excess niacin, were around 60 percent more likely, on average, to experience such an event than those with lower levels. And it was found in further experiment that 4PY causes blood vessel inflammation, a major contributor to the development of heart disease, in rodents.
It isn’t uncommon for people to have high niacin levels, Hazen says. This is partially due to certain foods, such as cereals and flours, being routinely fortified with the vitamin in countries that include the UK and the US. Niacin supplements are also increasingly popular as evidence suggests they have anti-ageing benefits, says Hazen. Plus, it wasn’t until recently that doctors stopped prescribing high-dose niacin to people at risk of cardiovascular disease, as it was initially thought the vitamin protected people from these conditions by lowering cholesterol.
“I think this study really shows that sometimes, when it comes to vitamins, you can have too much of a good thing,” says Jenny Jia at Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois. However, this research was mainly conducted in people of European ancestry. It is therefore unclear if similar results would occur in people of different racial or ethnic backgrounds, says Jia.
12. What is presented in paragraph 3?
A. Theoretical models. B. Research procedures.
C. Practical examples. D. Historical findings.
13. What does the underlined phrase “such an event” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Increased 4PY. B. Extra niacin.
C. Blood vessel inflammation. D. Cardiovascular diseases.
14. What might not be the reason for people to have high niacin levels?
A. Having niacin supplement is fashionable. B. Food with niacin can rapid aging.
C. Certain vitamins are added to foods. D. Niacin was prescribed to people.
15. What attitude might Jia have to the study?
A. Neutral. B. Supportive. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful.

What kind of people can become scientists? When a group of researchers posed that question to ninth-and 10th-graders, almost every student gave such responses as “People who work hard” or “Anyone who seems interested in the field of science.”
Many of these same students struggled to imagine themselves as scientists, citing concerns such as “I’m not good at science” and “Even if I work hard, I will not do well.” It’s easy for them to see a scientist’s work as arising from an inborn talent.

A. Science ability has nothing to do with efforts.
B. Students are more motivated by achievement stories.
C. Scientists’ struggle stories can influence readers’ beliefs.
D. Low-performing students tend to feel connected to scientists.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究人员向九年级和十年级的学生提出“什么样的人可以成为科学家”这个问题时,几乎每个学生的回答都是“努力学习的人”或“对科学领域感兴趣的人”。为了解除这种误解,研究人员设计了一项干预,即,了解更多关于科学家的奋斗可以帮助学生更有动力学习科学,结果发现,听过任何一种“奋斗故事”的学生在干预后的科学表现都有所提高。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段内容“Many of these same students struggled to imagine themselves as scientists, citing concerns such as ‘I’m not good at science’ and ‘Even if I work hard, I will not do well.’ It’s easy for them to see a scientist’s work as arising from an inborn talent.(同样是这些学生中的许多人都很难将自己想象成科学家,理由是“我不擅长科学”和“即使我努力工作,也不会做得很好”。他们很容易将科学家的工作视为天生的才能。)”可知,这些学生认为能够成为科学家是天生的才能,“自己不擅长”或“即使努力也无法做好”这样的理由可以看作为他们在科学这一方面缺乏自信,从而很难将自己想象成科学家。故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段内容“Researchers at Teachers College, Columbia University and the University of Washington designed an intervention to change students’ beliefs that scientific achievement reflects ability rather than effort by exposing students to stories of how accomplished scientists struggled and overcame challenges in their scientific efforts.(教师学院、哥伦比亚大学和华盛顿大学的研究人员设计了一种干预措施,让学生了解有成就的科学家在科学努力中如何努力和克服挑战的故事,从而改变学生们认为科学成就反映的是能力而不是努力的观念。)”可知,这项干预通过让学生们了解科学家们如何努力奋斗克服挑战的,以改变学生对于“科学家工作”的误解。故选D项。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。分析可知,非限制性定语从句“for whom exposure to struggling stories led to significantly better science-class performance than low-performing students who read achievement stories(对他们来说,接触奋斗故事比阅读成就故事的成绩差的学生在科学课上表现更好)”的先行词为“lower performing students(成绩差的学生)”,因此可知,在“干预”后,接触奋斗故事的成绩差的学生和阅读成就故事的成绩差的学生在科学课上都有了好的表现,且二者之间通过对比出现了“更好”,由此可推知,干预对于成绩差的学生效果显著,因此,“The effect was especially pronounced”应是“效果显著”的意思,由此可推知,“pronounced”应是“显著的;明星的”含义,与选项D“apparent(显而易见的)”含义相同。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章末尾内容“By identifying a scientist’s struggles and introducing the growth mindset he or she applied to accomplish great works, the students were able to empathize with the scientists during their own struggles.(通过了解一个科学家的奋斗史,并介绍他或她为完成伟大的工作而应用的成长心态,学生们能够在他们自己的奋斗过程中与科学家产生共鸣。)”可知,通过了解一个科学家的奋斗史,学生们使得自己在奋斗过程中能够产生与科学家的共鸣,从而能够改变之前的对于科学家工作的误解。由此可推知,科学家的奋斗故事可以影响读者的信念。故选C项。
D
People with high levels of niacin, also known as vitamin B3, in their blood may be more likely to have a heart attack or stroke than those with lower levels. Excessive amounts of the vitamin, which is routinely added to fortified food and can be taken as a supplement, may inflame blood vessels.
Heart attacks and stroke are leading causes of death worldwide. While researchers have made significant strides over the past few decades in discovering the risk factors for these conditions, they haven’t identified them all.
In an effort to fill these gaps, Stanley Hazen at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio and his colleagues collected blood samples from 2331 adults in the US and 832 adults in Europe who had elected to undergo cardiovascular screenings. The team analysed the samples for substances called metabolites, byproducts of metabolic processes such as digestion. The researchers then tracked incidents of cardiac events, such as heart attacks and strokes, among the participants over three years.
They found that people with elevated levels of a metabolite called 4PY which only arises when the body breaks down excess niacin, were around 60 percent more likely, on average, to experience such an event than those with lower levels. And it was found in further experiment that 4PY causes blood vessel inflammation, a major contributor to the development of heart disease, in rodents.
It isn’t uncommon for people to have high niacin levels, Hazen says. This is partially due to certain foods, such as cereals and flours, being routinely fortified with the vitamin in countries that include the UK and the US. Niacin supplements are also increasingly popular as evidence suggests they have anti-ageing benefits, says Hazen. Plus, it wasn’t until recently that doctors stopped prescribing high-dose niacin to people at risk of cardiovascular disease, as it was initially thought the vitamin protected people from these conditions by lowering cholesterol.
“I think this study really shows that sometimes, when it comes to vitamins, you can have too much of a good thing,” says Jenny Jia at Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois. However, this research was mainly conducted in people of European ancestry. It is therefore unclear if similar results would occur in people of different racial or ethnic backgrounds, says Jia.
12. What is presented in paragraph 3?
A. Theoretical models. B. Research procedures.
C. Practical examples. D. Historical findings.
13. What does the underlined phrase “such an event” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Increased 4PY. B. Extra niacin.
C. Blood vessel inflammation. D. Cardiovascular diseases.
14. What might not be the reason for people to have high niacin levels?
A. Having niacin supplement is fashionable. B. Food with niacin can rapid aging.
C. Certain vitamins are added to foods. D. Niacin was prescribed to people.
15. What attitude might Jia have to the study?
A. Neutral. B. Supportive. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. A

【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“In an effort to fill these gaps, Stanley Hazen at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio and his colleagues collected blood samples from 2331 adults in the US and 832 adults in Europe who had elected to undergo cardiovascular screenings. The team analysed the samples for substances called metabolites, byproducts of metabolic processes such as digestion. The researchers then tracked incidents of cardiac events, such as heart attacks and strokes, among the participants over three years. (为了填补这些空白,俄亥俄州克利夫兰诊所的Stanley Hazen和他的同事收集了2331名美国成年人和832名欧洲成年人的血液样本,这些成年人选择接受心血管筛查。研究小组分析了这些样本中被称为代谢物的物质,这是消化等代谢过程的副产品。然后,研究人员在三年的时间里追踪了参与者的心脏事件,比如心脏病发作和中风。)”可知,本段主要介绍了研究的程序步骤。故选B项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句前文“The researchers then tracked incidents of cardiac events, such as heart attacks and strokes, among the participants over three years. (然后,研究人员在三年的时间里追踪了参与者的心脏病事件,比如心脏病发作和中风。)”说明研究人员追踪了参与者的心脏病事件,从而推知划线词句“They found that people with elevated levels of a metabolite called 4PY, which only arises when the body breaks down excess niacin, were around 60 percent more likely, on average, to experience such an event than those with lower levels. (他们发现,一种叫做4PY的代谢物水平升高的人比那些水平较低的人平均有60%的可能性经历such an event。)”其中划线部分指的是“心血管疾病”。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“It isn’t uncommon for people to have high niacin levels, Hazen says. This is partially due to certain foods, such as cereals and flours, being routinely fortified with the vitamin in countries that include the UK and the US. Niacin supplements are also increasingly popular as evidence suggests they have anti-ageing benefits, says Hazen. Plus, it wasn’t until recently that doctors stopped prescribing high-dose niacin to people at risk of cardiovascular disease, as it was initially thought the vitamin protected people from these conditions by lowering cholesterol. (Hazen说,人们体内烟酸含量高并不罕见。这在一定程度上是由于某些食物,如谷物和面粉,在包括英国和美国在内的国家经常添加维生素。Hazen说,烟酸补充剂也越来越受欢迎,因为有证据表明它们具有抗衰老的功效。此外,直到最近,医生才停止给有心血管疾病风险的人开大剂量的烟酸处方,因为人们最初认为维生素可以通过降低胆固醇来保护人们免受这些疾病的侵害。)”可知,人们烟酸水平高的原因有某些维生素被添加到食物中、服用烟酸补充剂是一种时尚以及烟酸是给人开的处方。原因中不包含B项,故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘I think this study really shows that sometimes, when it comes to vitamins, you can have too much of a good thing,’ says Jenny Jia at Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois. However, this research was mainly conducted in people of European ancestry. It is therefore unclear if similar results would occur in people of different racial or ethnic backgrounds, says Jia. (伊利诺斯州芝加哥西北大学的Jenny Jia说:‘我认为这项研究确实表明,有时候,当谈到维生素时,你可能是当作好东西吃得太多了。’然而,这项研究主要是在欧洲血统的人身上进行的。因此,还不清楚不同种族或民族背景的人是否会出现类似的结果,Jia说。)”可知,Jia对这项研究的态度是没有倾向性的,中立的。故选A项。
