B The first week of September was a week that I had been expecting (期待) all summer. 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 classes without too much of a challenge, I didn’t feel too bad about tenth grade. However, the fifth class 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 and the seniors, having a totally different experience that I had never 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. 4. How did the author feel when his high school life was about to start? A. Happy. B. Nervous. C. Relaxed. D. Helpless. 5. 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. 6. 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. 7. 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. C If it seems like all your friends have smartphones, you may be on to something. A new report by Common Sense Media, which reports on technology and media for children, found that by the age of 11, more than half of kids in the US have their own smartphone. By age 12, more than two-thirds do, and by 14, teens are just as likely as adults to own a smartphone. Some kids start much younger. Nearly 20% of 8-year-olds have their own smartphone! Well, I study the effects (影响) of media and technology on kids, and I’m here to say that there is no single right answer to this question. The best I can offer is this: When both you and your parents feel the time is right. Here are some points to consider helping you and your parents make this decision. Be responsible. Have you shown that you are generally responsible? Do you understand the value of money, and can you save up to buy things you want? Keep safe. Do you travel to or from school or after-school activities without an adult? This is when phones often go from a “want” to a “need”. Sometimes parents report that they feel better knowing they can reach their children directly, and that their kids can reach them, too. Be careful. Do you treat your friends with kindness and respect? Do you know the fact that once something goes out onto the web, it can never truly be deleted (删除)? When you have a smartphone, your parents are the No. 1 most important influence in your life. If parents use their phones all day, guess what? Their children probably will be like that, too. However, if parents have smartphone habits like putting the phone away during meals, that will go a long way toward helping kids develop the same habits. 8．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A．The benefit of the phone. B．The danger of the phone. C．The right age for the use of the phone. D．The way of using the phone 9．A phone goes from a “want” to “a need” when children use it to ______ A．keep in touch with their parents B．get some information online C．chat with their friends online D．send messages to their friends 10．What should parents do according to the last paragraph? A．Teach their children to use phones. B．Use their phones as little as possible. C．Control their children’s using phones. D．Set a good example for their children. 11．What would be the best title of the passage? A．The advantages of having a phone B．How children use their phones C．How old children should be to get phones D．The problems with children’s having phones D The great success of Finding Dory is being met with mixed feelings by experts. That’s because though the movie can draw attention to our weak coral reefs (珊瑚礁) that need protection, it may lead to further damage (伤害) to life at sea. After the movie Finding Nemo came out in 2003, the clownfish (小丑鱼) became popular with every kid in America. As a result, the number of clownfish in the wild greatly dropped. Blue tangs (蓝吊鱼) also became popular pets because of the movie. Sadly, most blue tangs are caught with the help of cyanide (氰化物). Cyanide works on the fish, allowing them to be easily caught and sold to pet stores. Cyanide is harmful to humans. It also harms coral and other life at sea. Even the fish that are caught by using cyanide are harmed. Many end up dying within months of being brought to the store. It is not allowed to sell fish that have been caught using cyanide in the US. However, a 2008 study discovered that up to 90% of the 11 million pet fish brought into the country each year have been caught using this harmful fishing method. More recently, two researchers Craig Downs and Rene Umberger did a study to test if the fish sold in US pet stores had been harmed by cyanide. They found that of the 100 fish bought from stores in California, Hawaii, Maryland, North Carolina, and Virginia, over half, including the blue tangs, had cyanide in their body. To help people make better decisions when looking for fish for their kids, the researchers made a free mobile app, called Tank Watch— the app helps people to know whether a fish has been caught using illegal fishing methods. The World- Wildlife Foundation is asking fans of the movie not to “Find” Dory, but to “Protect” the beautiful fish! This means not rushing out and buying a blue tang after watching the film. As Ellen Degeneres, voice actress for Dory, says, the movie is not about “Finding” Dory, but about “putting it back to the ocean”. 12．What makes experts worried after the movie Finding Dory came out? A．That people may not like it. B．That the clownfish will disappear. C．That people may rush out to buy a “Dory” D．That coral reefs may not draw any attention. 13．What do the two studies mentioned in paragraph 4 tell us? A．It's very hard to catch pet fish at sea. B．Blue tangs are very popular in the US. C．Cyanide is not allowed to use in the US. D．Many pet fish in the US are caught by using cyanide. 14．Tank Watch would most probably be used by people who want to __________. A．buy a pet fish online B．catch fish more easily C．talk about movies with others D．avoid buying illegally- caught fish 15．What Ellen Degeneres says mainly shows that people should __________. A．avoid keeping a blue tang B．go to watch Finding Dory C．help experts find blue tangs D．throw their pets to the sea 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，共12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后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  Protecting Your Eyesight Nowadays most people have bad eyesight. Don’t take your eyes for granted. Here are some tips on protecting your eyesight. Eat for good vision. Protecting your eyes starts with the food on your plate. Nutrients such as vitamin C and vitamin E may help avoid vision problems. 16 You can choose green vegetables, eggs, beans and other non-meat protein sources. Wear sunglasses for good vision. 17 Choose sunglasses that block 99% to 100% of both UVA and UVB rays. If you wear contact lenses, choose the ones that offer UV protection. It’s still a good idea to wear sunglasses for more protection. Quit smoking. Smoking makes you more likely to get cataracts, optic nerve damage, and macular degeneration (黄斑退化). If you have tried to quit smoking before and started smoking again, keep trying. The more times you try to quit smoking, the more likely you are to succeed. 18 Staring at a computer screen can cause so many problems: dry eyes, headaches and neck, back and shoulder pain. To protect your eyes, you can position your computer so that your eyes are level with the top of the monitor. This allows you to look slightly down at the screen. Try to avoid glare on your computer from windows and lights. Use an anti-glare screen if needed. Every 20 minutes, rest your eyes by looking 20 feet away for 20 seconds. 19 Visit your eye doctor regularly. Everyone, even young children, should get their eyes examined regularly.__20___ They can also find some eye diseases, such as glaucoma (青光眼). The earlier diseases are found, the easier they are to be treated. A．Eye exams help you protect your sight and see your best. B．Look away from the computer for good eye health. C．Use safe sunglasses. D．At least every two hours, get up and take a 15-minute break. E．Wear glasses when examined under the guidance of your doctor. F．Regularly eating nutritious foods can lead to good eye health. G．It will cause your eyesight to fail. 第二部分 语言运用（本大题共两节，共30分） 第一节 （共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的ABCD四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。  My husband Adlai and I often went camping to celebrate special occasions.
