B After graduating from Ontario College of Teachers, I became a teacher at a 试卷第 3页，共 9页 one-room country school in Aldborough Township. That first day of school as a 19-year-old female teacher was a frightening experience. It was one thing to have graduated as a successful student; it was another thing to face a classroom of little faces that were waiting for the “new teacher”. I had a classroom of 21 children of different shapes and sizes. The youngest was five going on six and the eldest was 16. There were two doors for entrance in my school, one for the girls, one for the boys and just inside each door was a chemical toilet — no outdoor equipment for us! The heat in the building was a wood-burning furnace (火炉) down in the basement. Looking after the furnace was one of my responsibilities. Luckily, I knew a bit about starting a fire, so the school didn’t burn down. What I found most difficult was that a parent might take a child out of school for any reason. I had one Dutch family, whose father would keep the children out of school to help with the farm work. Finally, I got tired of this and sent an education officer to solve the problem. Needless to say, I was very unpopular with that father from then on, but the children came to school much more regularly! In the classroom, the older students helped the younger ones with learning, as well as with putting on coats and hats. If someone’s lunch was forgotten, everyone shared a bit of their food. We were a family. We had good times and bad times, but we kept learning. Far beyond maths, social studies, reading, grammar and writing, we learned how to get along with each other. I loved teaching at this small school and knew I was teaching the children about life as much as about subjects. I’d like to believe some students will have an effect on the world that will last long after I am gone. 24．Why did the writer feel her first day as a teacher frightening? A．There were so many students in the class. B．The situations were quite different. C．There was no outdoor equipment. D．The students were curious about her. 25．What do we know about the school? A．It was badly equipped. B．The playground was large. C．It was once damaged by a fire. D．The students were of similar age. 26．What was a headache for the writer? A．A Dutch family hated her. B．The students preferred farm work. C．The education officer offered little help. D．Some parents didn’t care about their children’s education. 27．What can be inferred from Paragraph 5? A．They cared about each other. B．They had an effect on the world. C．They laughed away bad times. D．They did well in almost every subject. C It is difficult for a teacher to decide whether to allow students to listen to music in the classroom. Every time students need to write an essay or work on a problem, they say, “Can I put my headphones on? I think better that way.” But is that really true? Does music help concentrate? Research offers little to back up the idea that listening to music improves concentration. In one small study, 133 students performed reading tasks while listening to 试卷第 4页，共 9页 either light music, hip hop, or no music at all. Students who performed the reading tasks in silence scored the highest. Music with a higher intensity (强度) like hip hop was more distracting and had a bad effect on task performance. Volume (音量) plays a more important role than the type of music. The study found that the louder the music, the worse the performance in concentration. The type of music didn’t matter. Data from the study showed once again that silence was the best environment to improve concentration. However, music has a positive effect on work performance. Studies have showed that listening to music leads to positive changes in mood, as well as creativity. In fact, in music-listening cultures, which students are certainly part of, there’s actually a change in mood when the music is taken away. It’s hard to convince my students that music doesn’t help with their concentration. Taj, a senior told me, “I wouldn’t be able to concentrate if I were listening to music and trying to read. However, when I write, I feel like music helps me concentrate deeply. I don’t have writer’s block. It’s easy for me to put my words on paper.” “Maybe not with reading, but when it comes to math, listening to music certainly helps,” Danela told me. “You could actually be singing along with what you’re listening to and doing well in math.” 28．What does the underlined word “distracting” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Making it difficult for someone to concentrate. B．Causing great excitement. C．Making someone want to do something. D．Making someone feel frightened. 29．What can we learn from the small study? A．Students do well in reading tasks while listening to music. B．Music can’t improve people’s mood and creativity. C．Different types of music lead to different performances. D．The volume of music affects concentration. 30．What do Taj and Danela have in common? A．They believe music doesn’t help concentrate. B．They use music to help with their paper-writing. C．They can’t focus on reading while listening to music. D．They don’t listen to music while doing math problems. 31．Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A．Should Students Listen to Music? B．Does Music Help Concentration? C．Is Music Related to Reading? D．Can Music Change Mood? D At the beginning of my Senior Two, I received my letter from the New York University (NYU) exchange program, and I was very relieved (如释重负的). I finally had the chance to take high level courses, experience college student life, and gain some extra credit. My aim was to learn the basics of accounting, economics, marketing, and psychology. When I arrived, I found that there were only 30 students in the program. I was so excited, but also nervous. I was worried that I would not make friends in my new environment. However, I turned out to be totally wrong. NYU hosts free events every week, giving students the chance to meet new people and explore New York City. My 试卷第 5页，共 9页 favorite events were the Broadway show trips. But there were always a limited number of spots. Therefore, I had to sign up online as soon as I received the reminder and hope that I would be chosen to go. This summer, I have watched ten Broadway shows, including To Kill a Mockingbird, Aladdin, and Frozen. Actually, I was fully attracted by the shows. Watching a performance almost every week was so amazing. On the way to the different shows, I always met someone new and we’d often chat about our lives. I was so thankful for making so many new friends. By the time the shows were finished, it was usually late at night. However, I wasn’t scared as Times Square was always so busy, filled with people and lights. This summer was the best ever and I certainly caught a glimpse (一瞥 ) into college life at NYU. Surprisingly, it is not as scary as I thought. 32．Who might be the author of this text? A．A college student. B．A high school student. C．A high school teacher. D．A student’s parent. 33．What made the author anxious when arriving at New York? A.The difficult courses. B．The challenging program. C．The trouble in making friends. D．The strict and serious teachers. 34．Why are the Broadway shows mentioned in paragraph 3? A．To introduce some Broadway shows. B．To show the author’s performance skills. C．To attract people to watch Broadway shows. D．To express the author’s appreciation for the program. 35．What can be the best title for the text? A．A Taste of NYU College Life B．An Exploration in New York C．The Amazing Courses at NYU D．The Attractive Shows of Broadway 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。 Tennis, basketball, soccer, swimming — these are examples of the hundreds, maybe thousands, of sports in the world. People in every country play some kind of athletic game. Why do people spend so much time and energy playing sports? 36 Good health is one big advantage to playing sports. 37 Scientists in Finland discovered that even between twins, the exercising one had more muscle, more energy, and healthier hearts and lungs. The one who did not play any sports had less energy and more fat. 38 Another reason is that they want to be social. People who play on a team become friends with their team members and meet players from different teams. Sports games become enjoyable social events, not just competitions. An additional reason for playing sports is that it makes people feel good. It does this in two interesting ways. First, playing sports makes people feel good about themselves. 39 Second, when we exercise, our brains produce chemicals that make us feel good. When people run around for two hours playing a basketball game, they often feel great even if they lose the game. There are a lot of other reasons why people play sports, but studies show that the biggest reason is enjoyment. When asked why they play sports, most people said they 试卷第 6页，共 9页 play because it’s fun. 40 Do you want to be healthy, socialize, feel good, and have fun? Play a sport. A．It takes time to find a fun sport. B．They don’t have to play — they want to play. C．Finishing a long race can make someone feel confident. D．It may be because playing sports has a lot of advantages. E．Good health is not the only reason that people play sports. F．Exercise can make people stronger and help them live longer lives. G．Sports allow people to realize the importance of physical and mental health. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 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 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳 选项。 Senior Zach Snow flew to Germany in July of 2017.With 41 of only staying for a week, his then stationed dad presented him with a 42 opportunity (机会) to discover the world. “My dad was staying in Stuttgart, Germany, working for the Army, and 43 me to stay with him for the school year, ” Snow stated. “I wanted to say no because I wanted to spend my senior year with my friends, ” Snow added.“I 44 staying because my dad kind of forced me to stay.” 45 for the first little while, Snow decided to 46 and make the most out of his situation.“I found out, since I was in the heart of Europe, that I would try to 47 as much as I could.I started off with going to Paris, ” stated Snow.
