I didn’t want summer to end, but I was excited about going to high school for my first week. When I got to school in the morning on the first day I realized how large the school was, and how many students went there. I ended up in the wrong classroom because of the size of the school. Luckily, a kind senior showed up and guided me to my homeroom before I was late. I was happy to see that in a class of unfamiliar (不熟悉的) faces, the only open seat was next to my good friend, Casey. My science teacher seemed like a good teacher. She was exciting and fun. After finishing four periods without too much of a challenge, I didn’t feel too bad about ninth grade. However, the fifth period changed everything. I didn’t feel ready after all. My teacher’s name is Mr. Valassidis but he told us to call him Mr. V. Mr. V told us that we would have to write 40 essays (文章) and read AP-level books such as The Odyssey this year. I love reading and writing, but come on, 40 ESSAYS? AP-level books? Now I was afraid. The courses in high school seem like they’re going to get much harder, but they haven’t yet. Even though my classes look hard, they look really exciting too. The first week passed quickly. Although a lot of things were overwhelming (令人不知所措的): the size of the campus, the crowds (人群) and the seniors, having a totally different experience that I had ever had before was really exciting. Now, I’m really happy about high school. I have lots of friends in my classes, I really like my teachers and I’m meeting new people. 21. How did the author feel when his high school life was about to start? A. Happy. B. Nervous.    C. Relaxed. D. Helpless. 22. What happened to the author on his first day of high school? A. He was late for class. B. He was praised by Mr. V. C. He got lost on the campus.       D. He met Casey for the first time. 23. What made the author afraid? A. The strict rules in classes.  B. How his science teacher behaved. C. What he was expected to do with his studies. D. The reading homework on the first day of high school. 24. Which of the following can best describe the author’s first week of high school? A. Hard and unexpected. B. Busy but eye-opening. C. Tiring but meaningful.      D. Different and exciting. B I have dreamt of taking a trip to Hawaii since I graduated, but the best thing always needs waiting. I took a trip with my friends to Haleakala National Park which lies in Hawaii. When we arrived at Haleakala National Park we were suggested to watch the early morning sunrise.I was lost in the sightseeing that afternoon so I could hardly wait to meet the sunrise. The next morning we all jumped out of the bed very early at 3 o'clock and walked to the rocks by the seaside. In the first half an hour we imagined how wonderful it would be when the first light came out through the thick clouds and how soft it would be when the light touched our skin so we waited and waited. However, another half an hour later I gradually lost my patience since there was nothing but the chilly darkness and I feIt that I was frozen to death. But my friends were still extremely cheerful. Nearly another one hour later, "Amazing!" a word burst out from Judy and we all shouted to welcome the light orange greatness which is really unbelievable. Until today I dare say that it is the most impressive（印象深刻的）sunrise in my life. However， waiting in the morning darkness is also the one I cannot wipe out forever. Waiting sometimes is really a hard thing for most of us as it needs patience and strong-willed determination, but what about the result after that? It might turn out to be pleasingly unbelievable and satisfactory. So it is really worthwhile to wait for the best. 25. When did they see the first light of the sunrise? A.About 3 o'clock. B. About 4 o'clock. C. Nearly 5 o'clock. D. Nearly 6 o'clock. 26. What's the meaning of the underlined word "chilly" in paragraph2? A.Total. B. Cold. C.Terrible. D.Interesting. 27.What's the author's attitude towards waiting for the sunrise? A.Excited all the time. B. Afraid all the time. C.Firstly excited then afraid. D.Firstly excited then impatient. 28. What does the author want to tell us by this passage? A.Sometimes it is worthwhile to wait for the best. B.Hawaii is a good place to enjoy the sunrise. C.He enjoyed the most flaming sunrise in his life. D. He and his friends took a trip to Hawaii. C Terri Bolton is a dab hand when it comes to DIY (do it yourself). Skilled at putting up shelves and piecing together furniture, she never pays someone else to do a job she can do herself. She credits these skills to her late grandfather and builder Derck Lloyd. From the age of six Terri, now 26, accompanied Derck to work during her school holidays. A day’s work was rewarded with £5 in pocket money. She says: “I’m sure I wasn’t much of a help to start with, painting the rooms and putting down the flooring throughout the house. It took weeks and it was backbreaking work, but I know he was proud of my skills.” Terri, who now rents a house with friends in Wandsworth, South West London, says DIY also saves her from losing any deposit (存款) when a tenancy (租期) comes to an end. She adds: “I’ve moved house many times and I always like to personalise my room and put up pictures. So, it’s been useful to know how to cover up holes and repaint a room to avoid any charges when I’ve moved out.” With millions of people likely to take on DIY projects over that coming weeks, new research shows that more than half of people are planning to make the most of the long, warm summer days to get jobs done. The average spend per project will be around £823. Two thirds of people aim to improve their comfort while at home. Two fifths wish to increase the value of their house. Though DIY has traditionally been seen as male hobby, the research shows it is women now leading the charge. 29. Which is closest in meaning to “a dab hand” in paragraph 1? A. An artist. B. A winner C. An expert D. A pioneer. 30. Why did Terri’s grandfather give her £5 a day? A. For a birthday gift. B. To encourage her to take up a hobby. C. To support her DIY projects. D. As a treat for her work. 31. How did Terri avoid losing the deposit on the house she rented? A. By making it look like before. B. By making furniture herself. C. By sharing the rent with a roommate. D. By ending the rental agreement. 32. What trend in DIY does the research show? A. It is becoming more costly. B. It is gaining popularity among females. C. It is turning into a seasonal industry. D. It is getting more time-consuming. D Insects (昆虫) are very healthy food. They have almost as much protein (蛋白质) as meat from a pig or cow and are low in fat. Eating insects is also very good for the environment since they need less land and water than larger animals. Marcel Dicke, who studies insects, explained in a talk how insects also produce more meat from the food they eat. For example, imagine a farmer feeds a cow 10 pounds of food. Those 10 pounds of food produce about 1 pound of meat for people to eat. However, imagine the farmer gives a certain number of insects 10 pounds of food. Those 10 pounds of food produce 9 pounds of meat for people to eat! Eating more insects can also help people in poor areas. Many people can raise and sell insects, which can provide jobs and food. But insects will not replace animal meat very quickly. First, people in some countries should have to change how they think about eating insects. Many people in North America and Europe eat a lot of meat like beef and pork. But they do not traditionally eat insects. In fact, for many people in the west, eating insects sounds crazy! They believe insects are dirty and dangerous. Insects make them feel uncomfortable. Some people are trying to deal with this problem. For example, David George Gordon wrote a book named The Eat－A－Bug Cookbook, which tries to show people that insects can be delicious. Other insect experts travel around telling people about the benefits of eating insects. But they still have a lot of work to do. 33. The example of Marcel Dicke is given to show ________. A. the high cost of food production B. it’s quite easy for farmers to raise insects C. raising insects is a good choice for farmers D. the different ways of feeding cows and insects 34. The long way eating insects has to go mainly results from ________. A. their terrible taste B. people’s old beliefs C. family traditions D. eating methods 35. We can infer from David and other insect experts that ________. A. people can make a lot of money from insects B. insects should be better protected C. people should eat more insects D. it’s dangerous to eat insects 36. What’s the best title for the text? A. Raising Insects: Feed the World B. Eating Insects: Save the World C. A New Way of Growing Food D. An Unusual Cookbook E Note-taking is a skill that can help you do well in all your schoolwork—everything from taking tests to researching a paper. But unfortunately, most schools don’t have classes that teach you how to take notes. So here are some tips. Write down key facts. If you have a teacher who writes notes on the board, that’s good: You can copy them down. If not, write down the most important points from class. Does your history teacher mention the date of a key Civil War battle? Does your English teacher give examples of Shakespeare’s use of irony(讽刺)? Write them down! Different teachers do things differently. For example, some teachers may mention lots of dates and facts in class but only write the key ones on the board. Other teachers may not write anything down, but they may repeat a certain date or a piece of information. After a while, you’ll get to know a teacher’s style. Don’t overdo it. Don’t go crazy taking notes. You’ll be frantic(慌乱的) if you try to write down every word that’s said in class. And if you focus too much on getting your notes right, you might miss important points. Some people actually learn better by listening, writing down a few key points, and then going over the material after class. Ask. Don’t be afraid to ask the teacher to repeat something you miss. If the teacher is going too fast, your classmates will also be happy to hear the information again. If you don’t want to ask in class, see your teacher afterwards. It’s much easier than wondering if you got the notes right as you study. Compare. Keep your notes handy when you’re doing your reading homework. Compare what you wrote with what the reading says—you may even want to add to your notes as you read. 37. What’s an advantage of note-taking according to the writer? A. It helps you to get good marks in tests. B. It’s a basic skill in researching a paper. C. It helps fix your mind on what the teacher says. D. It gives you a better understanding of key facts. 38. Why is Shakespeare mentioned in the passage? A. To introduce the topic of note-taking. B. To compare writing styles in different times. C. To give an example of forming good habits. D. To explain what a key fact is in a teacher’s class. 39. What is suggested in the third paragraph? A. Teachers encourage their students to be active in class. B. It’s helpful for teachers to learn from each other in styles. C. It’s not always possible to note down all information in class. D. A teacher’s style should be taken into consideration when taking notes. 40. What’s the writer’s opinion according to the passage? A. Students must try to take correct and detailed notes in class. B. Students should put down only key points while listening carefully. C. Students must not interrupt the teacher by asking questions in class. D. Students should put down as much information as possible in class. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Now many people smoke. ____41____ At such a young age, you don’t really think about the health risks of smoking.
