二、阅读理解
High school, for most teenagers, is a space where new adventures and challenges begin. I clearly remember my first day of high school. As I entered the school gate, I was greeted by a crowd of students. The hallways were filled with talking and laughter. It was a lot to handle, and I felt like a tiny fish in a vast ocean. I held my schedule tightly, trying to find the right classroom. My heart raced as I was scared of getting lost.
My first class was English, and as I walked in, I spotted familiar faces from my previous school. I breathed a sigh of relief as I took my seat, surrounded by friendly smiles. My English teacher, Mrs Johnson, introduced herself and made everyone feel comfortable. She explained what we would be studying during the semester and encouraged us to share our thoughts and ideas. The next class was mathematics, which happened to be my weakest subject. I felt a tight feeling in my stomach as I entered the classroom, but my maths teacher, Mr Smith, turned out to be very patient. He promised us that we would learn and improve together. His words of support made me feel more relaxed, and I began to believe that I could overcome my maths struggles.

It was during this time that I realised that high school wasn’t just about academic subjects; it was also about building friendships and making lasting memories.

The student arrived early, sat front and center, and stood out in my classroom in more ways than one. I’d say that he was about 40 years older than his classmates in my undergraduate communications class. He hungrily jumped into class discussions, with his humor and wisdom of experience. And he was always respectful of the other students’ perspectives, as if each of them were a teacher. Jerry Valencia walked in with a smile—and he left with one too.
“These students gave me the confidence that I didn’t need to feel bad about my age,” Valencia says.
One day I spotted Valencia on campus. He said he would have to stop taking classes that semester and reapply for next year. By then, he hoped to have earned enough money and have his student-loan papers in order. He asked seriously whether he could still sit in on my communications class.
Sure, I said. But he wouldn’t get any credit.
No problem, he said.
Soon there he was again, back at his old desk, jumping into our discussions on how to find and tell stories in Los Angeles—a 63-year-old man with as much energy and curiosity as any of the youngsters in class.
A lot of Valencia’s classmates apparently knew he couldn’t afford that semester’s tuition but was still doing the homework. “Here he is, willingly taking a class for the delight of it and benefit of learning,”says Jessica Espinosa, a 25-year-old junior. Afterward, I overheard Valencia wanted to stay in school until he earned a master’s degree, but it had taken him 12 years to finish community college, so he had a long way to go.
There is something splendidly unreasonable about Valencia’s determination to get a four-year degree and then a master’s. At his current pace, he’ll be 90 when he finally hangs all that paper on the wall. But that doesn’t seem especially relevant. He’s found all the youthful energy and academic opportunity stimulating (振奋人心的). Valencia’s grade in my class this semester will not show up on his transcripts (成绩单). But I’m giving him an A—and in the most important ways, it counts.
1.What made Valencia different from his classmates?
A.He was respectful to the teacher.
B.He activated the class atmosphere.
C.He was anxious to learn despite his age.
D.He often put forward different opinions.
2.According to the author, why did Valencia continue to attend classes?
A.He treasured the chance of learning.
B.He wished to show his determination.
C.He needed the credits to further his study.
D.He desired to have an A on his transcripts.
3.Which of the following best describes Valencia?
A.Powerful and independent. B.Energetic and generous.
C.Positive and determined. D.Considerate and knowledgeable.
4.What can we learn from the passage?
A.No pains, no gains. B.It is never too old to learn.
C.Strike the iron while it is hot. D.Where there is life, there is hope.
I’m often asked how to study English effectively. I think this means getting the most out of your study time, and that means variety. 1 .
Study Every Day
It’s important to study English every day. However, don’t exaggerate (夸张)!
2 . This habit of studying English every day will help keep English in your brain fresh.
A Little Grammar, a Little Listening, a Little Reading, and a Little Writing 3 . Study a little grammar, then do a short listening exercise, and then read an article on the same topic. Don’t do too much; twenty minutes on three different types of exercises is plenty!
4 .
Give yourself one grammar goal when reading a new article or watching a new video. For example, try to write down each example of a form you are studying such as the present perfect.
Use Different Learning Methods
Don’t just use one way to study English. Use many kinds of methods (方法) which will make all the parts of your brain help you. 5 . All of these methods together help with your learning.
A.Forget Grammar.
B.Review Grammar as You Watch or Read.
C.There are some exercises to help you warm up.
D.Here are some basic ideas to help you as you study English.
E.Study for thirty minutes every day instead of two hours once a week.
F.Make sure that you study a number of areas (领域) rather than focusing on just one.
G.For example, if you are learning new vocabulary, create a word map, describe a picture, make a list...

五、书面表达
1.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was born small, which often left me feeling unconfident. During my second year of high school, my family moved to a different city. Getting used to life as a new kid has always been difficult for me, and this move made it more challenging. In my new school, I felt physically and mentally uneasy. Other students had already built friendships, leaving me without a friend.
Besides, I found English learning boring and didn’t know what to do during English classes. So, I spent my free time drawing because that was what I usually did when I was alone.
I still recall the first day in the school dining hall. While waiting in line for food, I heard a group of students excitedly discussing an upcoming English drama show for freshmen. As I passed by, they glanced at me with surprise. “He looks so small,” someone said in a low voice. My face burned with embarrassment and I bent my head. Pretending not to hear them, I slipped into the farthest seat available and had my meal alone.
In my first English class, I sat at my desk, staring blankly at the book. The letters and words seemed to dance confusingly across the page and laugh at me. Losing interest quickly, I began drawing on the book. A few minutes later, my English teacher, Mr. Frank — a kind man — walked up to me.
“Nice drawing,” he said gently. “You know, language is also an art form; it carries its own charm (魅力) and beauty. I believe you could find English attractive if you discover whereto begin.”
注意:
(1) 续写词数应为150个左右;
(2) 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Encouraged by his words, I began to change my attitude towards English learning.

“Why not draw a poster for the English drama show?” Mr. Frank said to me.

2.阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段; 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was my first day at a new school in England because my family had moved here from Wales a week before. The moment I stepped through the big iron gates, a feeling of worry came over me. The large campus, with its old buildings covered in ivy and very neatly cut lawns, was really beautiful, but it just made me more nervous. I held my books tightly, and my hands started to sweat as the unfamiliar faces and the strange accents surrounded me like a thick fog that I couldn’t get through. I felt like a lonely traveler in a strange place, really wanting to see something familiar.
Along the way, I accidentally knocked into a boy. “Sorry, ”I said quietly, my eyes quickly looking down at the ground because I was too shy to look at him. “No problem,” he answered with a warm and real smile that cut through my uneasiness like a bright light. In that short talk, a little hope started to shine inside me; maybe this new place wouldn’t be the scary maze (迷宫) I was afraid of.
When I entered the classroom, the teacher introduced me to the class. I could feel everyone looking at me, and my cheeks turned bright red, as if they were on fire. I quickly sat down, and my heart was beating so hard that it seemed like the whole room could hear it. Would I be able to make friends? Could I do well in the classes? These questions kept bothering me all the time. The bell rang for the first break, and I walked slowly and nervously to the schoolyard, my steps as careful as a baby deer’s first steps in the woods. I looked around, partly hoping to see a friendly face, but also afraid of being refused.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Standing alone in the corner of the schoolyard, I watched the other students chatting and laughing.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Just as I was about to give up, the boy I bumped into earlier came towards me.

The student arrived early, sat front and center, and stood out in my classroom in more ways than one. I’d say that he was about 40 years older than his classmates in my undergraduate communications class. He hungrily jumped into class discussions, with his humor and wisdom of experience. And he was always respectful of the other students’ perspectives, as if each of them were a teacher. Jerry Valencia walked in with a smile—and he left with one too.
“These students gave me the confidence that I didn’t need to feel bad about my age,” Valencia says.
One day I spotted Valencia on campus. He said he would have to stop taking classes that semester and reapply for next year. By then, he hoped to have earned enough money and have his student-loan papers in order. He asked seriously whether he could still sit in on my communications class.
Sure, I said. But he wouldn’t get any credit.
No problem, he said.
Soon there he was again, back at his old desk, jumping into our discussions on how to find and tell stories in Los Angeles—a 63-year-old man with as much energy and curiosity as any of the youngsters in class.
A lot of Valencia’s classmates apparently knew he couldn’t afford that semester’s tuition but was still doing the homework. “Here he is, willingly taking a class for the delight of it and benefit of learning,”says Jessica Espinosa, a 25-year-old junior. Afterward, I overheard Valencia wanted to stay in school until he earned a master’s degree, but it had taken him 12 years to finish community college, so he had a long way to go.
There is something splendidly unreasonable about Valencia’s determination to get a four-year degree and then a master’s. At his current pace, he’ll be 90 when he finally hangs all that paper on the wall. But that doesn’t seem especially relevant. He’s found all the youthful energy and academic opportunity stimulating (振奋人心的). Valencia’s grade in my class this semester will not show up on his transcripts (成绩单). But I’m giving him an A—and in the most important ways, it counts.
1.What made Valencia different from his classmates?
A.He was respectful to the teacher.
B.He activated the class atmosphere.
C.He was anxious to learn despite his age.
D.He often put forward different opinions.
2.According to the author, why did Valencia continue to attend classes?
A.He treasured the chance of learning.
B.He wished to show his determination.
C.He needed the credits to further his study.
D.He desired to have an A on his transcripts.
3.Which of the following best describes Valencia?
A.Powerful and independent. B.Energetic and generous.
C.Positive and determined. D.Considerate and knowledgeable.
4.What can we learn from the passage?
A.No pains, no gains. B.It is never too old to learn.
C.Strike the iron while it is hot. D.Where there is life, there is hope.

五、书面表达
1.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was born small, which often left me feeling unconfident. During my second year of high school, my family moved to a different city. Getting used to life as a new kid has always been difficult for me, and this move made it more challenging. In my new school, I felt physically and mentally uneasy. Other students had already built friendships, leaving me without a friend.
Besides, I found English learning boring and didn’t know what to do during English classes. So, I spent my free time drawing because that was what I usually did when I was alone.
I still recall the first day in the school dining hall. While waiting in line for food, I heard a group of students excitedly discussing an upcoming English drama show for freshmen. As I passed by, they glanced at me with surprise. “He looks so small,” someone said in a low voice. My face burned with embarrassment and I bent my head. Pretending not to hear them, I slipped into the farthest seat available and had my meal alone.
In my first English class, I sat at my desk, staring blankly at the book. The letters and words seemed to dance confusingly across the page and laugh at me. Losing interest quickly, I began drawing on the book. A few minutes later, my English teacher, Mr. Frank — a kind man — walked up to me.
“Nice drawing,” he said gently. “You know, language is also an art form; it carries its own charm (魅力) and beauty. I believe you could find English attractive if you discover whereto begin.”
注意:

“Why not draw a poster for the English drama show?” Mr. Frank said to me.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Encouraged by his words, I began to change my attitude towards English learning. I started to focus more attentively on English classes, following Mr. Frank’s instructions with great care. I discovered the charm of how individual letters could form meaningful words. Although the progress was slow, that slight improvement still brought me some hope. Mr. Frank was always ready to offer me guidance whenever necessary. Gradually, I developed a deep admiration for English. I became more active in speaking up and communicating with my classmates. This new-found enthusiasm made me more outgoing and open-minded, and I even made some new friends.
“Why don’t you draw a poster for the English drama show?” Mr. Frank said to me. Excited and nervous, I accepted. It was a good chance to contribute with my artistic skills. Over the next few days, I drew colorful posters combining text and pictures. The process helped me remember vocabulary and grammar points better. To my delight, Mr. Frank praised my work and selected one poster for the show. Seeing my artwork displayed in the school gave me a strong sense of belonging. Thanks to Mr. Frank’s encouragement and trust, I discovered the beauty of English and found the confidence to express myself.

2.阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段; 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was my first day at a new school in England because my family had moved here from Wales a week before. The moment I stepped through the big iron gates, a feeling of worry came over me. The large campus, with its old buildings covered in ivy and very neatly cut lawns, was really beautiful, but it just made me more nervous. I held my books tightly, and my hands started to sweat as the unfamiliar faces and the strange accents surrounded me like a thick fog that I couldn’t get through. I felt like a lonely traveler in a strange place, really wanting to see something familiar.
Along the way, I accidentally knocked into a boy. “Sorry, ”I said quietly, my eyes quickly looking down at the ground because I was too shy to look at him. “No problem,” he answered with a warm and real smile that cut through my uneasiness like a bright light. In that short talk, a little hope started to shine inside me; maybe this new place wouldn’t be the scary maze (迷宫) I was afraid of.
When I entered the classroom, the teacher introduced me to the class. I could feel everyone looking at me, and my cheeks turned bright red, as if they were on fire. I quickly sat down, and my heart was beating so hard that it seemed like the whole room could hear it. Would I be able to make friends? Could I do well in the classes? These questions kept bothering me all the time. The bell rang for the first break, and I walked slowly and nervously to the schoolyard, my steps as careful as a baby deer’s first steps in the woods. I looked around, partly hoping to see a friendly face, but also afraid of being refused.

Standing alone in the corner of the schoolyard, I watched the other students chatting and laughing.

Just as I was about to give up, the boy I bumped into earlier came towards me.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Standing alone in the corner of the schoolyard, I watched the other students chatting and laughing. The cold wind blew hard through the schoolyard, moving the leaves and making me tremble. I crouched closer to the corner, the cold stone wall against my back. Groups of students got together, their active conversations floating in the air, so different from my silence. Worries filled my mind like the spinning dead leaves around my feet. Was it worth it to try to fit in? The greatness of the strangeness seemed impossible to get over. I almost persuaded myself to go back to the empty classroom, but a faint hope held me back.
Just as I was about to give up, the boy I bumped into earlier came towards me. With a friendly wave, he closed the distance between us. “Come on, let’s join the fun!” he exclaimed. His friends nodded in agreement, their faces open and inviting. As we talked, I found myself relaxing. It turned out that we all loved the same books and dreamed of faraway adventures. By the time the bell rang, I was no longer the outsider. I learned that a simple act of kindness could transform a day, and that reaching out was all it took to find my place in this new world.
【导语】文章以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者作为新学生,在转学到英格兰一所新学校时的内心感受和经历。作者一开始对陌生的环境和人群感到担忧和紧张,如同一个孤独的旅行者在陌生的地方,渴望看到熟悉的事物。在不小心撞到一个男孩并得到他温暖的微笑后,作者内心开始萌生出一丝希望,也许这个新地方并不像自己原本想象的那么可怕。进入教室后,作者面对全班同学的注视感到羞涩和不安,心里充满了对未来交友和学习表现的担忧。下课铃声响起,作者紧张而缓慢地走向操场,既希望看到友好的面孔,又害怕被拒绝。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段首句内容“我独自站在操场的角落里,看着其他学生聊着天,欢笑着。”可知,第一段可描写作者初入英国校园时孤独、迷茫又矛盾的心境。
②由第二段首句内容“就在我快要放弃的时候,之前撞到的那个男孩朝我走了过来。”可知,第二段可描写作者在校园从孤立到融入的转折过程。
