B When someone asks me what my goals are for the coming year, I don’t usually know how to reply. Of course, I, as most people do, want to see an improvement in my grades. This year, however, I’m hoping for something different. Through the course of my school life, I’ve gradually developed a new understanding of the word “prioritization (优先次序)”. The first thing I wish to get in Senior 1 is the ability to manage my time better. I’ll surely become busier with the coming semester, and proper organization is important. From school clubs to academic competitions, everything should be set up in a way that doesn’t influence my health, which leads me to my second goal. My mother has always told me put my health first, so in the future, I hope to be both physically and mentally healthy. A person can’t study without having the energy to do so. In order to stay energetic, they must put their health first, no matter how busy they are, or how much work they have to complete. And finally, I hope that I won’t be discouraged by my failure and never give up on my dreams. I hope that I’ll have the courage to try new activities and clubs. I believe my final goal can apply to every student around the world. We should all respect one another’s likes and dislikes, and focus on each other’s strengths, not our weaknesses. Everyone should try to take part in all of life’s opportunities. Albert Einstein once said, “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” In my case, it’s the other way around. In order to keep moving, I must keep my balance—the balance between studies and activities, efficiency and procrastination (拖延症), academics and health, passions and dislikes. The new journey is going to be a hard one, but if I establish these goals, I believe I will make it through to the end. 24. During this school year, what does the author hopes to do first? A. Focus on improving her overall grades. B. Join as many school clubs as possible. C. Learn how to manage her time well. D. Spend more time on outdoor activities. 25. According to the article, which of the following students should do? A. Not be afraid of failing. B. Always put their studies first. C. Only do what they're good at. D. Make different kinds of friends. 26. What does the underlined word in the last paragraph mean? A. A strong feeling of dislike B. A strong feeling of joy C. A strong feeling of anger D. A strong feeling of love 27. What does the author intend to do? A. Show what she likes about high school life. B. Share her goals for the coming high school year. C. Show how to balance our studies and activities. D. Stress the importance of health to students. C “Snowplow(扫雪机) parenting” is the newest parenting style that can include parents booking their adult children haircuts, calling their college kids to wake them up so that they don’t sleep through a test, and even calling their kids’ employers. “‘Helicopter (直升机) parenting’ means monitoring their kids’ every activity, which is out of date.” Claire Cain Miller and Jonah Engel Bromwich wrote in The New York Times. “Some rich mothers and fathers now are more like snowplows: clearing any problems in their children’s path to success so that they don’t have to meet failure or lose opportunities.” There is a mother who started a charity in her son’s name to try to raise his chances of being accepted to the college. Another parents spent years helping their daughter avoid foods with sauce, which she didn’t like. Once she got to college, she had problems with the food in her school because it was all covered in sauce. A survey says that three-quarters of parents of children between the ages of 18 and 28 ask for doctor visits or haircuts for their children, and 11% say they would call their kids’ bosses whether their children are having an issue at work. As reported, wealthy parents try to get their children into top colleges by giving a large amount of money to a school, such as paying for a building. This parenting has become the most popular way to raise children, whatever the income, education, or race is. Julie, a teacher at Stanford, told the Times that “snowplow parenting” is not a reasonable approach. “The parents should prepare the kid for the road, instead of preparing the road for the kid,” she said. 28. How does Julie like “snowplow parenting”? A. It is accepted by teachers. B. It is advanced. C. It is unreasonable. D It is refused by rich people. 29. What is the character of “helicopter parenting”? A. Parents make kids popular. B. Parents watch over kids’ every activity. C. Parents ask kids to care for themselves. D. Parents provide little money for kids. 30. What should parents do according to Julie? A. Do as wealthy parents do. B. Do as little as possible. C. Make roads be prepared. D. Make kids be prepared. 31 What’s the best title for the text? A. Helicopter Parenting. B. The Similarity in Parenting. C. A Research on Parenting. D. Snowplow parenting D Too much screen time for kids can lead to poor health the American Heart Association (AHA) says. A scientific statement published by the AHA in the medical journal Circulation said screen time from smartphones, tablet computers and other devices can lead kids to a sedentary(惯于久坐不动的) lifestyle ,increasing the possibility that they grow up as overweight or obese(肥胖的). The AHA is the latest organization urging parents to limit how much time their kids spend in front of screens. It recommends children get one to two hours of screen time each day. Although television viewing among children and teens has dropped, the use of smartphones and tablet computers has surged. “Although the mechanisms(机制) linking screen time to obesity are not entirely clear, there are real concerns that screens influence eating behaviors, mainly because children don’t notice when they are full when eating in front of a screen,” said Tracie Barnett, a researcher at the INRS-Institut Armand-Frappier Research Centre, in a statement. Barnett, one of the authors of the statement, also urges parents to keep screens out of kids’ bedrooms, raising the fear that too much screen time can affect sleep. Many studies have warned about the potential (潜在的) negative effects of too much screen time. Last year, a study from researchers at San Diego State University(SDSU) found nearly half of teens who spent five or more hours in front of screens every day experienced long periods of hopelessness or sadness. Apple, who makes the iOS mobile platform, plans to introduce new tools to devices to help users cut back on screen time. As for iOS 12, iPhones will include a screen time feature where users can control and review how they spend time on their mobile devices. Another company that makes the Android platform will introduce “digital well-being” tools such as screen time limits and a “wind down” option to encourage users to put down their phones before bed. 32. Which can replace the underlined word “surged” in paragraph 2? A. Increased suddenly. B. Decreased slowly. C. Stayed the same. D. Lost the balance. 33. How do screens influence children’s eating behavior? A. By changing the time they eat. B. By changing their taste for food. C. By influencing how fast they eat. D. By influencing their feeling of fullness. 34. What effect did too much screen time have in SDSU’s study? A. It affected children’s sleep. B. It negatively influenced moods. C. It resulted in diet problems. D. It led to children’s obesity. 35. What will Apple do to deal with the screen time problem? A. Reduce its products’ battery life. B. Introduce “digital well-being” tools. C. Provide a screen time feature. D. Add a “wind down” option to its products. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 How To Fight Back- To- School Anxiety August is the time to prepare for a new school year. 36 These simple tips can help you or someone you love deal with the year ahead. 37 Like any new activity, a new school year is always easier when you' re prepared for it.

Here are some of my suggestions. First of all, in my opinion, it’s important for us to have a fight attitude towards exams. Besides, enough sleep can make us energetic and enable us to perform well in an exam. Therefore, during the period of exams, we should not stay up too late. We can also try a warm bath or a cup of warm milk before going to bed. They might help us to have a sound sleep. I hope you will find my suggestions helpful!

Well, I got a letter from him this morning and he’s invited me to spend a holiday with his family this year. They have got a big house on a riverside, and they’ve got a boat. You know how crazy I am about boats. W:Mike,that’s great. What a wonderful chance for you! M:Yes,but it’s not that simple. W:What’s the problem? M:It’s Celia. You see, we’ve both been saving like mad to go on a trip together this year. W:Ah,I see. You don’t want to disappoint her, of course. M:That’s right. She’d be so upset. She’s been doing all sorts of jobs in her free time. She deserves this holiday .It seems so unfair. W:Look,Mike.First,you must tell Celia about the invitation. She’ll understand your problem. But why don’t you tell Miguel about the plan you had already made with Celia? He might even suggest a good way to settle the problem. Text 10 M: With the development of science and technology, people have more spare time. But how do we spend the free time? I prefer to go outdoors and spend my free time in some different places with some different people. The first reason for outdoor activities is that I have spent too much time indoors. Most of the time I sit in the classroom, listening to the teachers and doing my exercises. The indoor activities are too limited. Fresh air, sunlight and enough physical exercises are needed for a healthy body. So when I am free. I should go out. The second reason is that I want to have more experiences in my life. When you go out, far away from your daily life, you will meet a lot of people who are quite different from you .It will give you a lot of exciting experiences. However, outdoor activities will take a lot of money and energy. So if you have not prepared enough, having some amusement indoors is also a good choice, which may be cheaper and easier to carry out. Reading some books and enjoying music are also very good. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
