Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
First day at school
It was my first day at school in London and I was halfexcited and halffrightened.On my way to school I wondered,what questions the other boys would ask me and practiced all the answers,“I am nine years old.I was born here but I haven't lived here since I was two.I was living in Farley.It's about thirty miles away.I came back to London two months ago.” I also wondered if it was the rule for boys to fight strangers like me,but I was tall for my age.I hoped they would decide not to risk it.
No one took any notice of me before school.I stood in the centre of the playground,expecting someone to say“hello”,but no one spoke to me.
My teacher was called Mr.Jones.There were 42 boys in the class,so I_didn't_stand_out there,either,until the first lesson of the afternoon.Mr.Jones was very fond of Charles Dickens,so he asked several boys if they knew Dickens' birthplace,but no one guessed right.A boy called Brian,the biggest in the class,said,“Timbuktu”,and Mr.Jones went red in the face.Then he asked me.I said,“Portsmouth”,and everyone stared at me because Mr.Jones said I was right.This didn't make me very popular,of course.“He thinks he's clever,”I heard Brian say.
After that,we went out to the playground to play football.I was in Brian's team,and he obviously had Dickens in mind because he told me to go in goal.No one ever wanted to be the goalkeeper.
“He's big enough and useless enough,” Brian said when someone asked him why he had chosen me.
As the boy kicked the ball hard along the ground to my right,I threw myself down quickly and saved it.All my team crowded round me.My bare knees were grazed and bleeding.Brian took out a handkerchief and offered it to me.
“Do you want to join my gang (team)?” he said.
At the end of the day,I was no longer a stranger.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者转入一所新的学校,起初担心自己不能被同学们接受,后来通过一场足球赛,作者终于融入了这个新的班集体。

A.How old are you?
B.Where are you from?

3.The underlined part “I didn't stand out” in Paragraph 3 means that the writer was not ________.
A.reliable B.nervous
C.important D.noticeable
解析:D 细节理解题。根据上文的“There were 42 boys in the class”可知,班上男孩众多,作者并不引人注目。

B
Japanese high school students either walk or ride bicycles if the distance is not too far.In other cases,students must take public buses and trains.After junior high school,students attend high schools based on their high school entrance examination scores.So some students travel a long distance to attend the school.
◆________
The schoolday begins at 8:30.Then students assemble in their homeroom classrooms for the day's studies.Each homeroom class has an average of 4045 students.Students stay in their homeroom classrooms for most of the schoolday.Only for physical education,laboratory classes,or other subjects requiring special facilities (设备) do students move to different parts of the school.Between classes and at lunchtime,classrooms can be noisy,lively places.Some schools may have a cafeteria (自助餐厅),but most do not.In most schools,students bring a box lunch from home,prepared by the mother in the early morning hours.
Japanese high school students spend 240 days a year at school,60 days more than American students.Students in high schools take three years' studying of each of the following subjects: maths,social studies,Japanese,science,and English.Other subjects include physical education,music,art,and moral studies.All the students in one grade level study the same subjects.Given the number of required subjects,electives (选修课) are few.
◆Afterschool activities
Club activities take place after school every day.Students can join only one club,and they rarely change clubs from year to year,so the clubs are relatively stable.Clubs are made up of sports clubs (baseball,soccer,judo,kendo,etc.) and culture clubs (English,broadcasting,science,etc.).New students usually are encouraged to select a club shortly after the school year begins in April.Clubs meet for two hours after school each day and many clubs continue to meet during school vacations.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了日本高中学生的学校生活和课外活动情况。
5.Most Japanese high school students often have lunch ________.
A.in restaurants
B.in school cafeterias
C.at home
D.in homeroom classrooms
解析:D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In most schools,students bring a box lunch from home”可知,大多数高中的学生从家里带午饭,故排除A、C两项;再根据第二段中的“Between classes and at lunchtime,classrooms can be noisy,lively places ...but most do not.”可知,学生是在教室吃午饭。故选D。
6.What does the underlined word “rarely” in the fourth paragraph mean?
A.Always. B.Never.
C.Seldom. D.Often.
解析:C 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“so the clubs are relatively stable”可知,此处表示学生们很少一年一年地换俱乐部,rarely意为“很少”,与C项“不常,很少”意思一致。故选C。
7.From the passage we can know that _____.
A.there are fewer than 40 students in each homeroom in Japanese high schools
B.students must stay in homeroom classrooms for physical education
C.there are few subjects for students to choose except the required ones
D.there will not be any club activity during school vacations
解析:C 推理判断题。根据第二段可知,日本的高中每班通常有40至45名学生,故A项错误;根据第二段中的“Only for physical education ...do students move to different parts of the school.”可知,学生上体育课、实验课等是不在教室上的,故B项错误;根据文章的最后一句可知,很多俱乐部在假期期间正常活动,故D项错误;根据第三段最后一句“Given the number of required subjects,electives (选修课) are few.”可知,除了必修课之外,学生的选修课很少。故选C。
8.What may the best subtitle for the second and third paragraphs be?
A.At School.
B.In Class.
C.Subjects.
D.Homeroom Classes.
解析:A 推理判断题。根据第二、三段所涉及的内容(班级规模、在校吃午饭、上学天数、所学科目等)可知,第二段和第三段这两部分主要讲的是学生在校的情况,故A项正确。同时正好与第二个小标题“课外活动”相承接。
Ⅱ.阅读填句

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。作者就孩子们如何愉快地度过开学第一天介绍了一些窍门。
1.G 根据上文“Plan ahead the night before.”可知,前一天晚上提前做准备,故G项“你在第一天醒来之前,如果一切都准备好,你会减少焦虑”承接上文,符合文意。
2.A 下文“Make sure your clothes are cleaned and pressed and that you've showered,brushed your teeth.”说明了选择什么样的衣服,故A项“选择你感觉好的衣服”符合文意。
3.D 上文“If you're hoping to attract friends with similar interests,try wearing a shirt with your favorite show,musician,or sports team on it.”讲了如何吸引有相同兴趣的朋友,故D项“这是一种开始谈话和打破沉默的容易的方法”符合文意。
4.F 上文“If you feel nervous,start by taking some deep breaths.”和下文“You can listen to music that makes you feel calm or happy.”都讲了缓解紧张的方法,该空承上启下,故F项“记得每个人在某个时刻都是一名新生,没什么大不了”符合文意。
5.B 本段主要讲了使用肢体语言,故B项“使用你的身势语表现你的自信”符合文意。
Ⅲ.语法填空

In 9.________(I) opinion,the cellphone is a useful tool in our daily life,10.________ it doesn't mean we can use it freely in school.
【语篇解读】 手机的使用越来越普遍。中学生是否应该带手机上学呢?
1.entered 根据just now可知本句用一般过去时。
2.interested feel在此是系动词,后跟形容词作表语,主语是I,故填interested“感兴趣的”。
3.more 此处含有现在与过去相比之意,故填比较级more,表示“更多的学生带手机来学校”。
4.it It is convenient to do sth.意为“做某事方便”,是固定句式。
5.functions 可数名词function前有various修饰,故用复数形式。
6.a 空格后的must在此是可数名词,意为“必不可少的东西”,表示泛指,前面用不定冠词。
7.making “给别人打电话很容易”是“学校里有付费公用电话”的结果,故填现在分词作结果状语。
8.surely 修饰谓语动词用副词。
9.my in my opinion“依我看来”,是固定短语。
10.but 手机很有用,“但是”并不意味着我们在学校里可以随意使用,前后是转折关系,故填but。
