Starting high school can be difficult.
Everyone is nervous and nobody knows where to go for classes. Thinking about making new friends might make you feel nervous, too. But don’t worry. You are not alone. You are going to school with a group of students who are also your age, and we have several tips to share.
Forget your fear and just talk to someone.It might be easier said than done, but try to take a deep breath and voice. Don’t be afraid to approach people. Introduce yourself and start a conversation about something you have in common. Sit in the middle of the classroom with as many new friends around you as possible.
Join clubs.
Join after-school activities that interest you and make friends in the club. If you don’t join anything, you will be just going to class and then going home. Being in a club forces you to be more social.
Stay clean.
No one likes a bad smell that could knock someone over. Shower every day, brush your teeth and wash your hair. Try to make yourself look neat, whatever you wear.
Be respectful of people’s differences.
Everyone has his or her own opinion about the world and everyone believes in different things. It’s a good thing to have friends with different opinions because you can each share your own.
We hope these tips can help you. The Student Union is always ready to offer help. And you are welcome to join us!

C. It promotes exchange of ideas. D. It prevents arguments.
2. What is one suggestion for overcoming nervousness and making friends in high school?
A. Calm down and have a talk actively.
B. Stay silent in class to avoid attention.
C. Avoid talking to anyone on the first day.
D. Only interact with your previous schoolmates.

My busiest period comes from November each year, when I will receive a number of emails and texts from friends who want to volunteer with their families on Thanksgiving as a way to give back. I also field phone calls from organizations who want to donate to local programs that provide Thanksgiving meals.
As an official who still works in the nonprofit sector, however, I also feel deeply anxious because I know the other 51 weeks of the year, these critical programs that provide food access to residents in need are starving for both volunteers and donations. Hunger is a year round problem, and each week volunteers are the necessary part to ensure that programs are able to serve the community.
At Food For Free, we rely on about 100 volunteers per week, and each of those volunteers is extremely important to providing fresh, healthy food to people in the Greater Boston area who need it. School children who take backpacks of food home on Fridays, community college students who rely on our Family Meals program to get stronger in class, elderly and disabled residents who receive twice monthly deliveries of food to their doors through our Home Delivery program,—they all rely on us ensuring enough volunteers show up to do the work. These volunteers don't show up in your social media feeds, they don't win awards and no one writes about them in the local newspapers. But they are heroes. And you can be too.
If everyone made a promise to volunteer once a month, or even once a quarter, I know that we could reduce some of the anxiety these organizations feel, as a more reliable volunteer network allows them to focus on helping people, not filling volunteer slots
You can look through our list of a few organizations who are doing critical work in Cambridge to address food insecurity. Offer your time to an organization, they will be deeply grateful—and Lam going to bet that you will feel pretty good about yourself too.
4. Why did so many organizations call the author?
A. To ask something related to him. B. To offer donations to poor locals.
C. To broadcast programs for him. D. To order some food for their works.
5. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. the need for fresh food B. the duty of Food For Free
C. the value of voluntary work D. the difficult life of local people
6. What should we learn from the volunteers?
A. Showing up in social media B. Winning some useful awards.
C. Spreading our life stories. D. Serving the poor for nothing in return.
7. What is the author's aim to write the passage?
A. To advocate readers to be volunteers. B. To express thanks for the organizations.
C. To advertise the official programs. D. To introduce websites of a local charity.
C
You might think people all over the United States have WiFi — wireless Internet service — and mobile phones. But there is no such service in Green Bank, West Virginia, a tiny town four hours from the US capital, Washington D. C. Fewer than 150 people live in Green Bank, which has two churches, an elementary school and a public library. It is also home to the largest radio telescope in the world.
There is a ban on WiFi in Green Bank, along with anything else that can create electromagnetic (电磁的) waves. Officials say the waves could disturb the signals the telescope receives.
For many Americans a visit to Green Bank is a little like returning to the 1950s. To get there, you must read road signs because there is no GPS service in the town. People can connect with the Internet through telephones, but wireless service is not allowed.
The observatory (天文台) is one of the largest employers in the area. The National Science Foundation (NSF) spends about $8.2 million a year to operate the observatory, telescope and educational center.
Jonah Bauserman is a technician. If he supposes there is a signal that is not allowed in the zone, he drives to the house where the signal is coming from and checks it. But once a week, when the device is cleaned, some banned devices are allowed near it.
People in the town respect the work of the scientists. And they say they are happy to live without WiFi and mobile phones. “You know” instead of sitting here with our phones and other devices we’re out fishing, hunting and going to each other’s houses.” Everyone knows each other and communication is almost always face to face.
8. What will you see when you pay a visit to Green Bank?
A. Guide signs. B. GPS service. C. Cellphone towers. D. Wi-Fi controlled toys.
9. What is Jonah Bauserman’s duty in his work?
A. Following signals from cellphones.
B. Cleaning the telescope once a week.
C. Listening for signals from outer space.
D. Protecting the telescope from being affected.
10. What has the telescope brought to the local people?
A Great wealth. B. A healthier lifestyle.
C. Many job chances. D. Much difficulty in life.
11. What may be the best title for this text?
A. A Better Life Without Wireless Devices.
B. Good Relationships Between People in an American Town.
C. The Largest Radio Telescope in the World.
D. An American Town Without WiFi and Mobile Phones.
D
Victor Borge once wrote, “Laughter is the closest distance between two people.” Yet laughter isn’t always positive for relationships. Think of your friend laughing at your embarrassing mistake. This kind of unshared laughter can have the opposite effect.
Now, a new study explores when laughter works as a social glue. While all genuine laughter may help us feel good, shared laughter may communicate to others that we have a similar worldview, which strengthens our relationships.
Researchers at the University of North Carolina found a way to produce shared laughter to measure experimentally how it might impact a relationship with a stranger. Participants watched a funny, not-so-funny, or not-funny-at-all video while video-chatting with another same-sex participant. Unknown to them, the video chat displayed a pre-recorded clip (片段) of someone laughing the same amount for each of the two funny videos, but only smiling occasionally during the unfunny video. This produced more shared laughter in the first situation, less shared laughter in the second, and no shared laughter in the third. Afterwards, the participants then filled out questionnaires about their sense of similarity to their video partner, and how much they liked or wanted to get to know their video partner.
Results showed that, across the different videos, the amount of shared laughter had consistent (一致的) effects on the participants’ sense of similarity to the video partner — and that this, in turn, increased how much participants liked their partner and wanted to affiliate with him or her. “For people who are laughing together, shared laughter signals that they see the world in the same way, and it momentarily improve their sense of connection,” says Sara Algoe, co-author of the study.
How can we put these findings into practice? Algoe suggests that relationship partners may want to find opportunities to laugh together in order to boost closeness, especially before having difficult conversations. Likewise, shared laughter could be introduced into staff meetings to make people feel more on the same page and thus become more productive.
12. What is the finding of the experiment?
A. Laughter creates distances.
B. Laughter is a reliable social glue.
C. Unshared laughter has negative effect.
D. Shared laughter brings closeness.
13. What are the participants asked to do in the experiment?
A. Record the reaction to the videos.
B. Video chat with a same-sex stranger.
C. Fill out questionnaires on the videos.
D. Laugh the same amount each time.
14. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase “affiliate with” in Paragraph 4?
A. Connect with. B. Turn to. C. Agree with. D. Refer to.
15. In which situation is shared laughter probably used according to Algoe?
A. During a court meeting. B. After seeing a doctor.
C. Before solving conflicts. D. When taking an exam.

How to increase the “amount of wisdom” in your brain

If something confuses you, surf the Internet and clear out your problems. ____19____ In the end, you will be able to tackle a problem from different angles, making everything easier.
Learn and grow from your mistakes.
All of us make mistakes in life but it is the acknowledgement of mistakes that makes us grow and do better next time. ____20____ Stop blaming other people for your mistakes and admit where you went wrong. Your best teacher will always be your last mistake, so learn the best from it.
A. Open yourself to diverse perspectives.
B. Here are some strategies that you can use to get wiser.
C. Never base your point of view on the most popular opinion.
D. All of these activities will strengthen your critical-thinking skills.

You might think people all over the United States have WiFi — wireless Internet service — and mobile phones. But there is no such service in Green Bank, West Virginia, a tiny town four hours from the US capital, Washington D. C. Fewer than 150 people live in Green Bank, which has two churches, an elementary school and a public library. It is also home to the largest radio telescope in the world.
There is a ban on WiFi in Green Bank, along with anything else that can create electromagnetic (电磁的) waves. Officials say the waves could disturb the signals the telescope receives.
For many Americans a visit to Green Bank is a little like returning to the 1950s. To get there, you must read road signs because there is no GPS service in the town. People can connect with the Internet through telephones, but wireless service is not allowed.
The observatory (天文台) is one of the largest employers in the area. The National Science Foundation (NSF) spends about $8.2 million a year to operate the observatory, telescope and educational center.
Jonah Bauserman is a technician. If he supposes there is a signal that is not allowed in the zone, he drives to the house where the signal is coming from and checks it. But once a week, when the device is cleaned, some banned devices are allowed near it.
People in the town respect the work of the scientists. And they say they are happy to live without WiFi and mobile phones. “You know” instead of sitting here with our phones and other devices we’re out fishing, hunting and going to each other’s houses.” Everyone knows each other and communication is almost always face to face.
8. What will you see when you pay a visit to Green Bank?
A. Guide signs. B. GPS service. C. Cellphone towers. D. Wi-Fi controlled toys.
9. What is Jonah Bauserman’s duty in his work?
A. Following signals from cellphones.
B. Cleaning the telescope once a week.
C. Listening for signals from outer space.
D. Protecting the telescope from being affected.
10. What has the telescope brought to the local people?
A. Great wealth. B. A healthier lifestyle.
C. Many job chances. D. Much difficulty in life.
11. What may be the best title for this text?
A. A Better Life Without Wireless Devices.

C. The Largest Radio Telescope in the World.
D. An American Town Without WiFi and Mobile Phones.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了美国一个没有Wi-Fi和移动电话的城镇Green Bank。
【8题详解】

细节理解题。根据第五段“Jonah Bauserman is a technician. If he supposes there is a signal that is not allowed in the zone, he drives to the house where the signal is coming from and checks it.

【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“And they say they are happy to live without WiFi and mobile phones. ‘You know, instead of sitting here with our phones and other devices we’re out fishing, hunting and going to each other’s houses.’ Everyone knows each other and communication is almost always face to face.(他们说他们很高兴生活中没有Wi-Fi和手机。‘你知道,我们不是坐在这里拿着手机和其他设备,而是出去钓鱼、打猎,去彼此的家里玩。’每个人都互相认识,沟通几乎都是面对面的)”可知,望远镜给当地人带来了更加健康的生活方式。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,结合第一段“You might think people all over the United States have WiFi — wireless Internet service — and mobile phones. But there is no such service in Green Bank, West Virginia, a tiny town four hours from the US capital, Washington D. C.(你可能认为美国各地的人都有Wi-Fi——无线互联网服务——和移动电话。但在西弗吉尼亚州的Green Bank却没有这样的服务,Green Bank是一个距离美国首都华盛顿四小时车程的小镇)”可知,文章介绍了美国一个没有Wi-Fi和移动电话的古老城镇Green Bank。故选D。
D
Victor Borge once wrote, “Laughter is the closest distance between two people.” Yet laughter isn’t always positive for relationships. Think of your friend laughing at your embarrassing mistake. This kind of unshared laughter can have the opposite effect.
Now, a new study explores when laughter works as a social glue. While all genuine laughter may help us feel good, shared laughter may communicate to others that we have a similar worldview, which strengthens our relationships.
Researchers at the University of North Carolina found a way to produce shared laughter to measure experimentally how it might impact a relationship with a stranger. Participants watched a funny not-so-funny, or not-funny-at-all video while video-chatting with another same-sex participant. Unknown to them, the video chat displayed a pre-recorded clip (片段) of someone laughing the same amount for each of the two funny videos, but only smiling occasionally during the unfunny video. This produced more shared laughter in the first situation, less shared laughter in the second, and no shared laughter in the third. Afterwards, the participants then filled out questionnaires about their sense of similarity to their video partner, and how much they liked or wanted to get to know their video partner.
Results showed that, across the different videos, the amount of shared laughter had consistent (一致的) effects on the participants’ sense of similarity to the video partner — and that this, in turn, increased how much participants liked their partner and wanted to affiliate with him or her. “For people who are laughing together, shared laughter signals that they see the world in the same way, and it momentarily improve their sense of connection,” says Sara Algoe, co-author of the study.
How can we put these findings into practice? Algoe suggests that relationship partners may want to find opportunities to laugh together in order to boost closeness, especially before having difficult conversations. Likewise, shared laughter could be introduced into staff meetings to make people feel more on the same page and thus become more productive.
12. What is the finding of the experiment?
A. Laughter creates distances.
B. Laughter is a reliable social glue.
C. Unshared laughter has negative effect.
D. Shared laughter brings closeness.
13. What are the participants asked to do in the experiment?
A. Record the reaction to the videos.
B. Video chat with a same-sex stranger.
C. Fill out questionnaires on the videos.
D. Laugh the same amount each time.
14. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase “affiliate with” in Paragraph 4?
A. Connect with. B. Turn to. C. Agree with. D. Refer to.
15. In which situation is shared laughter probably used according to Algoe?
A. During a court meeting. B. After seeing a doctor.
C. Before solving conflicts. D. When taking an exam.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了北卡罗来纳大学的研究人员的一项新研究,他们发现共同的笑声可以作为一种社交粘合剂,增强人与人之间的关系。文章还提到了这项研究的结果以及如何将这一发现应用到实际生活中。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Now, a new study explores when laughter works as a social glue. While all genuine laughter may help us feel good, shared laughter may communicate to others that we have a similar worldview, which strengthens our relationships.”(现在,一项新的研究探索了笑在什么时候会起到社交粘合剂的作用。虽然所有真诚的笑声都能让我们感觉良好,但共同的笑声可以向他人传达我们有相似的世界观,从而加强我们的关系。)和第四段中“Results showed that, across the different videos, the amount of shared laughter had consistent (一致的) effects on the participants’ sense of similarity to the video partner — and that this, in turn, increased how much participants liked their partner and wanted to affiliate with him or her.”(结果表明,在不同的视频中,共同笑声的次数对参与者与视频伙伴的相似感有一致的影响——而这反过来又增加了参与者对伙伴的喜爱程度,并希望与他或她建立联系。)可知,实验的发现是共同的笑声能带来亲密感。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Participants watched a funny, not-so-funny, or not-funny-at-all video while video-chatting with another same-sex participant.”(参与者在与另一位同性参与者进行视频聊天时,观看了一段有趣、不太有趣或完全不好笑的视频。)可知,实验要求参与者与一位同性陌生人进行视频聊天。故选B项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后“‘For people who are laughing together, shared laughter signals that they see the world in the same way, and it momentarily improve their sense of connection,’ says Sara Algoe, co-author of the study.”(研究的合著者萨拉·阿尔戈说:“对于一起笑的人来说,共同的笑声表明他们以同样的方式看待世界,这暂时提升了他们的联系感。”)可知,共同的笑声会让人们觉得彼此看法相似,从而想要与对方建立联系,所以affiliate with在此处的意思是“与……建立联系”,与connect with意思相近。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Algoe suggests that relationship partners may want to find opportunities to laugh together in order to boost closeness, especially before having difficult conversations.”(阿尔戈建议,关系中的双方可能想要找到一起笑的机会,以增强亲密感,尤其是在进行困难的对话之前。)可推知,在解决冲突之前,人们可能会使用共同的笑声来增强亲密感。故选C项。

考查动词时态和语态。句意:虽然他愿意耐心地等到6月15日妈妈拿到工资,但商店职员看到利昂的留言后,做出了非常贴心的决定。分析句子可知,pay(支付)是从句中谓语动词,与主语his mom之间是被动关系,根据上下文可知,讲述过去的事情,应使用一般过去时态,又因主语his mom是单数名词,所以谓语动词也应使用单数形式。综上,谓语应用一般过去时的被动语态,单数形式。故填was paid。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:为了寻找当时还不认识的小留言者,他们把纸条发布在Facebook上,最终引起了黛比·阿什沃斯的注意,她立即认出了儿子的笔迹。in search of...为固定短语,意为“寻找……”,另外,句首单词首字母大写。故填In。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:为了寻找当时还不认识的小留言者,他们把纸条发布在Facebook上,最终引起了黛比·阿什沃斯的注意,她立即认出了儿子的笔迹。修饰动词recognized,用副词形式。故填immediately。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这是我人生中最美好的一天。根据句意和空格后最高级形容词best可知,应填入定冠词the构成最高级。故填the。
第四部分 写作(共两节,满分40分)
第一节 翻译(共5小题,每小题3分,共15分)
46. 青少年按时吃早饭是很必要。(形式主语it)(汉译英)
________________________________________________________________
【答案】It is necessary for teenagers to have breakfast on time.
【解析】
【详解】考查短语、时态和主语从句。“……对某人是很必要的”用it is necessary for sb. to do sth.,it作形式主语,真正的主语为不定式。“吃早饭”用短语have breakfast;“按时”用短语on time;陈述客观事实,用一般现在时。故翻译为It is necessary for teenagers to have breakfast on time.
47. 我发现我的大多数同学和老师都很友好,而且乐于助人。(SVOC)(汉译英)
__________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I find most of my classmates and teachers very friendly and helpful.
【解析】
【详解】考查句子结构和时态。“发现”使用动词find,结合提示可知,此处使用“find+宾语+宾补”结构,“我的大多数同学和老师”译为most of my classmates and teachers,作宾语,“很友好,而且乐于助人”译为并列的形容词very friendly and helpful,作宾补,句子是描述一个事实,使用一般现在时,故翻译为:I find most of my classmates and teachers very friendly and helpful.
48. 我性格开朗自信,这使得我与别人相处很好。(定语从句)(汉译英)
________________________________________________________________
【答案】I am outgoing and confident, which makes me get along well with others.
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。形容词outgoing表示“外向的、开朗的”,confident表示“自信的”,故“我性格开朗自信”可译为I am outgoing and confident;“这使得我与别人相处很好。”可用关系代词which引导的非限制性定语从句引导,修饰主句“I am outgoing and confident”,which在从句中作主语,故谓语动词用单数,动词短语get along well with表示“与某人相处很好”,故从句可译为which makes me get along well with others。故全句译为I am outgoing and confident, which makes me get along well with others.
49. 他如此渴望探索新事物,以至于对与物理有关的一切都很好奇。(so... that...) (汉译英)
________________________________________________________________
【答案】He is so eager to explore new things that he is curious about everything related to physics.
【解析】
【详解】考查状语从句,固定短语和非谓语动词。根据题目要求,应该使用so...that...引导的状语从句,其中主句是“他如此渴望探索新事物”,主语“他”应用代词he,句首单词首字母大写,“如此渴望”可用短语“be so eager to do”,句子陈述客观事实,时态为一般现在时,主语为第三人称单数,be动词用is,“探索新事物”译为explore new things,故翻译为He is so eager to explore new things,从句是“以至于对与物理有关的一切都很好奇”,在从句里,“对一切都很好奇”翻译成he is curious about everything,“和物理有关的”可用过去分词作后置定语,翻译为related to physics。故整句可翻译为He is so eager to explore new things that he is curious about everything related to physics.
50. 不论什么时候,你都会看到我捧着书或握着笔。(never, without)(汉译英)
________________________________________________________________
【答案】You will never see me without a book or a pen
【解析】
【详解】考查双重否定。根据句意,“无论什么时候,你都会看到我捧着书或握着笔”可理解为“你不会看到我手里没有书或握着笔”,此处应为双重否定表示肯定的意义,应使用“never…without…”结构;结合句意,该句描述的是将来的动作,应用一般将来时,“你不会见到我”应译为you’ll never see me,“没有书或笔”表示全部否定时,应使用并列连词or连接,即without a book or a pen。故翻译为You’ll never see me without a book or a pen.
