Sharon, Aged 22
The most important thing to keep in mind when going into high school is to be yourself. Besides, I don’t know what your middle school was like, but high school teachers will not care about things such as how much homework you already have for one night. It’s best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to do.
Frank, Aged 21
I think almost every kid feels both anxious and excited before their first day. You will probably love it. I know I did. You should join in some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck!
David, Aged 19
I’m not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening. But you’ll get used to it. Don’t be afraid of anyone; upperclassmen will pick on you more if you let them know you’re afraid. Just take it easy. Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly. After the first week it’s really not bad at all. Don’t worry.
Eddie, Aged 20
When I started high school, I was really nervous too, especially since I had been homeschooled all through middle school and didn’t really know anyone. I suppose the best advice would be to just relax. The first couple of days can be a little bit hard, but things will become easier before you know it.
1. What can we infer from Sharon’s words about high school?
A. Teachers are quite strict. B. Students often stay up at night.
C. Teachers provide little care for students. D. Students should make good use of their time.

(此外,我不知道你的中学是什么样的,但是高中老师不会关心你一个晚上有多少作业。最好是学会明智地处理事情和管理你的时间,这样你就可以完成你需要做的一切。)”可知,高中老师不会关心你一个晚上有多少作业,在高中阶段需要学会明智地处理事情和管理你的时间;由此可知,Sharon认为在高中阶段要充分利用自己的时间,学会处理事情。故选D项。

Do you like doing exercise? Do you want to know the benefits from the exercise? Let’s learn something about exercise.
Exercise is any action that gets you moving. You can run, ride a bike, swim, jump rope or row a boat. It’s all good for you! There are three kinds of exercise. One is stretching (拉伸). You may do this in dance, yoga or at the gym. When you stretch, you keep your muscles (肌肉) bendable (可弯曲的).
Aerobic exercise (有氧运动) makes your heart beat fast. You get this kind of exercise when you walk or run. Your heart beats fast when you swim, too. The last kind of exercise makes your muscles strong. You build strong muscles when you lift weights. When you sprint or run fast, you make your muscles strong, too.
You get exercise when you play tag and hide and seek. Leapfrog and ball games are also good to do. So go outside and have fun! If you keep on doing exercise, you will know the more exercise you do, the healthier and happier you will be.

The vast majority of Spain’s trains will be free until the end of the year in a new program. People visiting the West European country can now whizz (飞速行驶) across it in the relative luxury of one of its trains for zero cost. As well as being much better for the environment than air travel, sitting on a train and watching the countryside slip by is the perfect way to get to know a country.
Under Spain’s new program, all short and medium train rides are free — with the right ticket — providing the perfect opportunity to see Catalonia, Andalucia and the Basque Country. Tourists can take advantage of the discounts, which have been brought in to help the population deal with the cost of living crisis, if they buy multi-journey tickets. “I’d like the people of Spain to know that I’m fully aware of the daily difficulties that most people have,” a senior official said. “I know salaries cover less and less and that it’s difficult to get to the end of the month.” The country’s Ministry of Transport said the measure would help people get to work safely as fuel prices continue to rise sharply.
Spain joins Germany in cutting the price of public transport, with the latter country launching a ticket costing €9 which gives a full month of travel from June until the end of August. Austria has started offering a climate ticket, which allows people to complete journeys for just €3. When it was first launched last year, the popularity of the ticket almost caused its website to crash. The UK government has not announced any plans to encourage the use of trains, despite the seriousness of the climate crisis and the damage petrol and diesel cars cause. Instead, the government cut fuel duty by 5% in March for 12 months, encouraging more people to get behind the wheel.
8. What can be inferred about the program?
A. People still have doubt about it.
B. It is of benefit to the environment.
C. The trains in Spain are completely free now.
D. Spain is the only country in Europe to cut transport costs.
9. What is the main purpose of introducing the program?
A. To lower fuel prices.
B. To relieve the stress of airline business.
C. To promote tourism and benefit people of Spain.
D. To show the government’s concern for the public.
10. What does the author think of the UK government’s practice?
A. Unwise. B. Admiring. C. Perfect. D. Praiseworthy.
11. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The practices on public transport in some countries.
B. The economic benefits of the program.
C. The program’s great benefits to health.
D. The popularity of the climate ticket.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了西班牙推出的一项新计划,即年底前大部分火车旅行将免费,并分析了这一政策对旅游业、生活成本以及环境等方面的影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“As well as being much better for the environment than air travel, sitting on a train and watching the countryside slip by is the perfect way to get to know a country.(坐火车不仅比坐飞机更环保,而且坐在火车上看着乡村景色从身边掠过也是了解一个国家的最佳方式。)”可知,坐火车旅行比乘飞机旅行对环境更有益,坐在火车上看着乡村景色滑过是了解一个国家的完美方式。因此可以推断出这个计划对环境是有益的。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Under Spain’s new program, all short and medium train rides are free—with the right ticket—providing the perfect opportunity to see Catalonia, Andalucia and the Basque Country. Tourists can take advantage of the discounts, which have been brought in to help the population deal with the cost of living crisis, if they buy multi-journey tickets.(根据西班牙新计划,所有的中短途火车都是免费的——只要你买对了票——这是游览加泰罗尼亚、安达卢西亚和巴斯克地区的绝佳机会。如果游客购买多程票,他们可以利用折扣,这是为了帮助人们应对生活成本危机而引入的。)”可推断,西班牙的新计划是为了让人们能够零成本乘坐火车,这对于旅游业来说是一个巨大的推动。此外,文章中明确提到这一计划是为了帮助人们应对生活成本危机。因此,这个计划的主要目的是促进旅游业和造福西班牙人民,故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The UK government has not announced any plans to encourage the use of trains, despite the seriousness of the climate crisis and the damage petrol and diesel cars cause. Instead, the government cut fuel duty by 5% in March for 12 months, encouraging more people to get behind the wheel.(尽管气候危机的严重性和汽油柴油车造成的破坏,英国政府并没有宣布任何鼓励使用火车的计划。相反,政府在3月份将燃油税降低了5%,为期12个月,鼓励更多人开车上路。)”可知,作者认为英国政府的做法是不明智的,因为它没有采取措施鼓励使用更环保的交通工具,而是鼓励人们继续使用汽车,从而加剧环境问题。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段内容“Spain joins Germany in cutting the price of public transport, with the latter country launching a ticket costing €9 which gives a full month of travel from June until the end of August. Austria has started offering a climate ticket, which allows people to complete journeys for just €3. When it was first launched last year, the popularity of the ticket almost caused its website to crash. The UK government has not announced any plans to encourage the use of trains, despite the seriousness of the climate crisis and the damage petrol and diesel cars cause.(西班牙加入了德国的行列,开始降低公共交通价格,德国推出了一张9欧元的车票,从6月到8月底可以坐一个月的车。奥地利已经开始提供气候票,人们只需花3欧元就能完成旅程。去年该票首次推出时,其受欢迎程度几乎导致其网站崩溃。尽管气候危机严重,汽油和柴油汽车造成的破坏也很严重,但英国政府尚未宣布任何鼓励使用火车的计划。)”可知,最后一段主要描述了德国、奥地利和英国在公共交通方面的做法,德国推出了9欧元的月票,奥地利提供了气候票,而英国政府没有宣布任何鼓励使用火车的计划,反而降低了燃油税。因此,该段的主要内容是关于一些国家在公共交通方面的实践。故选A。
D
Most of us know about hurricanes, droughts, and floods. But from time to time, nature delivers a weather event that is really unusual.
One day in 2005, people in a small town in Serbia saw an unusual sight. It was raining frogs! Without any warning, they found their streets filling with the little jumping creatures. “There were thousands of them,” one person told a local newspaper. “I thought perhaps a plane carrying frogs had exploded (爆炸),” said another. Scientists believe a tornado passed over a lake and sucked (吸) up the frogs. It then dropped them on the town, far away. Surprisingly, many survived the fall to the ground.
As if tornadoes aren’t dangerous enough, some can actually be made of fire. When a wildfire reaches very high temperatures, it causes the air to heat up and then rise. Cooler air moves quickly to replace the hot air. This create s strong winds, which suck up the fire. When this happens — like it did in 2014, in Denver, United States-a fire tornado is created. A tornado like this can become 15meters wide and grow as tall as a 40-store y building. It is one of nature’s most frightening creations.
In 1942 hundreds of thousand-year-old skeletons (骨架) were found under the ice of Lake Roopkund in the Himalayas. Many had holes in their skulls-but they weren’t hurt in any other way. For years, the cause of their deaths was a mystery. Today, scientists think they were killed by giant hailstones. Hailstones are balls of ice that form when raindrops turn into ice. The ice pieces increase in size until the wind cannot hold them up. This results in hailstones falling to the ground, often at speeds of over 160 kilometers an hour. For the unlucky people at Lake Roopkund, there was nowhere to run. Sadly, they were all killed that day.
12. Why did the frogs appear in Serbia one day in 2005?
A. A large flood washed the frogs down. B. The frogs were brought by heavy rains.
C. A plane carrying the frogs had exploded. D. The frogs were dropped by a strong wind.
13. What does the underlined word “this” refer to in paragraph 3?
A. Hot air rises from the fire. B. Strong winds suck up the fire.
C. Cooler air removes the hot air. D. Wildfires reach high temperatures.
14. What can we know about the skeletons at Lake Roopkund?
A. They were turned into ice balls. B. They had no signs of injury.
C. They showed the force of nature. D. They were hundreds of years old.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. When Strange Weather Strikes B. Protect Ourselves In Disasters
C. The Great Power of Nature D. What Causes Extreme Weather
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文,文章主要介绍了一些不同寻常的天气事件。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Scientists believe a tornado passed over a lake and sucked (吸) up the frogs. It then dropped them on the town, far away.(科学家们认为,龙卷风经过一个湖泊,把青蛙吸了上去。然后,它把它们扔到了遥远的小镇上)”可知,青蛙被强风吹落到遥远的小镇上,故选D。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“This create s strong winds, which suck up the fire. When this happens-like it did in 2014, in Denver, United States-a fire tornado is created.(这就产生了强风,把火吸走。当这种情况发生时——就像2014年在美国丹佛发生的那样——就会产生火灾龙卷风)”可知,this指代上文提到的“强风把火吸走”,故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Many had holes in their skulls-but they weren’t hurt in any other way.(许多骷髅的头骨上有洞,但他们没有受到其他任何伤害)”和“Today, scientists think they were killed by giant hailstones.(如今,科学家们认为它们是被巨大的冰雹砸死的)”可知,骷髅头骨上的洞是被冰雹砸的,所以这些骷髅展现出了大自然的力量,故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,结合第一段中“But from time to time, nature delivers a weather event that is really unusual.(但有时,大自然会带来一些不寻常的天气事件)”可知,文章主要介绍了一些不同寻常的天气事件,故选A。

A
Sharon, Aged 22
The most important thing to keep in mind when going into high school is to be yourself. Besides, I don’t know what your middle school was like, but high school teachers will not care about things such as how much homework you already have for one night. It’s best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to do.
Frank, Aged 21
I think almost every kid feels both anxious and excited before their first day. You will probably love it. I know I did. You should join in some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck!
David, Aged 19
I’m not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening. But you’ll get used to it. Don’t be afraid of anyone; upperclassmen will pick on you more if you let them know you’re afraid. Just take it easy. Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly. After the first week it’s really not bad at all. Don’t worry.
Eddie, Aged 20
When I started high school, I was really nervous too, especially since I had been homeschooled all through middle school and didn’t really know anyone. I suppose the best advice would be to just relax. The first couple of days can be a little bit hard, but things will become easier before you know it.

Do you like doing exercise? Do you want to know the benefits from the exercise? Let’s learn something about exercise.
Exercise is any action that gets you moving. You can run, ride a bike, swim, jump rope or row a boat. It’s all good for you! There are three kinds of exercise. One is stretching (拉伸). You may do this in dance, yoga or at the gym. When you stretch, you keep your muscles (肌肉) bendable (可弯曲的).
Aerobic exercise (有氧运动) makes your heart beat fast. You get this kind of exercise when you walk or run. Your heart beats fast when you swim, too. The last kind of exercise makes your muscles strong. You build strong muscles when you lift weights. When you sprint or run fast, you make your muscles strong, too.
You get exercise when you play tag and hide and seek. Leapfrog and ball games are also good to do. So go outside and have fun! If you keep on doing exercise, you will know the more exercise you do, the healthier and happier you will be.

The vast majority of Spain’s trains will be free until the end of the year in a new program. People visiting the West European country can now whizz (飞速行驶) across it in the relative luxury of one of its trains for zero cost. As well as being much better for the environment than air travel, sitting on a train and watching the countryside slip by is the perfect way to get to know a country.
Under Spain’s new program, all short and medium train rides are free — with the right ticket — providing the perfect opportunity to see Catalonia, Andalucia and the Basque Country. Tourists can take advantage of the discounts, which have been brought in to help the population deal with the cost of living crisis, if they buy multi-journey tickets. “I’d like the people of Spain to know that I’m fully aware of the daily difficulties that most people have,” a senior official said. “I know salaries cover less and less and that it’s difficult to get to the end of the month.” The country’s Ministry of Transport said the measure would help people get to work safely as fuel prices continue to rise sharply.
Spain joins Germany in cutting the price of public transport, with the latter country launching a ticket costing €9 which gives a full month of travel from June until the end of August. Austria has started offering a climate ticket, which allows people to complete journeys for just €3. When it was first launched last year, the popularity of the ticket almost caused its website to crash. The UK government has not announced any plans to encourage the use of trains, despite the seriousness of the climate crisis and the damage petrol and diesel cars cause. Instead, the government cut fuel duty by 5% in March for 12 months, encouraging more people to get behind the wheel.
8. What can be inferred about the program?
A People still have doubt about it.
B. It is of benefit to the environment.
C. The trains in Spain are completely free now.
D. Spain is the only country in Europe to cut transport costs.
9. What is the main purpose of introducing the program?
A. To lower fuel prices.
B. To relieve the stress of airline business.
C. To promote tourism and benefit people of Spain.
D. To show the government’s concern for the public.
10. What does the author think of the UK government’s practice?
A. Unwise. B. Admiring. C. Perfect. D. Praiseworthy.
11. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The practices on public transport in some countries.
B. The economic benefits of the program.
C. The program’s great benefits to health.
D. The popularity of the climate ticket.
D
Most of us know about hurricanes, droughts, and floods. But from time to time, nature delivers a weather event that is really unusual.
One day in 2005, people in a small town in Serbia saw an unusual sight. It was raining frogs! Without any warning, they found their streets filling with the little jumping creatures. “There were thousands of them,” one person told a local newspaper. “I thought perhaps a plane carrying frogs had exploded (爆炸),” said another. Scientists believe a tornado passed over a lake and sucked (吸) up the frogs. It then dropped them on the town, far away. Surprisingly, many survived the fall to the ground.
As if tornadoes aren’t dangerous enough, some can actually be made of fire. When a wildfire reaches very high temperatures, it causes the air to heat up and then rise. Cooler air moves quickly to replace the hot air. This create s strong winds, which suck up the fire. When this happens — like it did in 2014, in Denver, United States-a fire tornado is created. A tornado like this can become 15meters wide and grow as tall as a 40-store y building. It is one of nature’s most frightening creations.
In 1942, hundreds of thousand-year-old skeletons (骨架) were found under the ice of Lake Roopkund in the Himalayas. Many had holes in their skulls-but they weren’t hurt in any other way. For years, the cause of their deaths was a mystery. Today, scientists think they were killed by giant hailstones. Hailstones are balls of ice that form when raindrops turn into ice. The ice pieces increase in size until the wind cannot hold them up. This results in hailstones falling to the ground, often at speeds of over 160 kilometers an hour. For the unlucky people at Lake Roopkund, there was nowhere to run. Sadly, they were all killed that day.
12. Why did the frogs appear in Serbia one day in 2005?
A. A large flood washed the frogs down. B. The frogs were brought by heavy rains.
C. A plane carrying the frogs had exploded. D. The frogs were dropped by a strong wind.
13. What does the underlined word “this” refer to in paragraph 3?
A. Hot air rises from the fire. B. Strong winds suck up the fire.
C. Cooler air removes the hot air. D. Wildfires reach high temperatures.
14. What can we know about the skeletons at Lake Roopkund?
A. They were turned into ice balls. B. They had no signs of injury.
C. They showed the force of nature. D. They were hundreds of years old.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. When Strange Weather Strikes B. Protect Ourselves In Disasters
C. The Great Power of Nature D. What Causes Extreme Weather
