High School Programmes in Australia
Beautiful weather, friendly people and a widely varied landscape are just a few of the reasons you should choose to spend time in Australia as a high school student. Here are some programmes you can choose from.
High School Exchange
Individuals studying for a semester or full year in Australia will usually live with a host family. This is a great opportunity for students to see what daily family life is like in Australia. Students learning English will see their language skills improve by communicating with their new friends and host family, while those familiar with the language already can use this opportunity to learn more about the day-to-day life in Australia.
Youth Travel Tours
Travel tours for teens are a wonderful way for high school students to spend a short, concentrated amount of time abroad. Tours are usually for different themes such as cooking, adventure travel, or volunteerism. Students will have a fun, unique experience while incorporating educational components like environmental or cultural studies — and all without missing your normal coursework back home.
Summer Study Programme
For students who only have a few months of the summer break available, an advanced summer programme is perfect. Just keep in mind, the summer of the northern hemisphere (半球) is actually the winter of Australia. Oftentimes these summer programmes can be partnered with universities that will allow students to receive college credits.
1. What can High School Exchange offer?
A. A good command of what we learn at school.
B. A better understanding of Australian culture.
C. A wonderful way to communicate with famous teachers.
D. A precious chance to make friends from different countries.
2. Who may want to choose Youth Travel Tours?
A. Those who have ever been volunteers. B. Those who are interested in cooking.
C. Those who like doing adventure sports. D. Those who want to take a part-time job.
3. Which programme should you choose if you want to earn college credits?
A. Summer Study Programme. B. Youth Travel Tours.
C. High School Exchange. D. All of the programmes.
B
Growing up, I was scared of being the center of attention. As the quiet daughter of a military family that moved every two years, I struggled to make friends across three different countries. My accent shifted awkwardly between British and American English, making classroom readings a nightmare. Determined to break free from my shell, I joined my high school drama club—a decision that terrified me more than moving to a new neighborhood.
The first month felt impossible. While others memorized lines effortlessly, I stumbled over self-introduction, my palms sweating under the stage lights. Our director’s improvisation (即兴) exercises were the worst. She’d shout unexpected plots like “You’re an astronaut discovering aliens!”, giving us ten seconds to react. My mind would blank with a lump in my throat.
Yet week after week, something changed. The supportive laughter of my peers replaced my fear of embarrassment. By junior year, I landed a supporting role in our town, delivering lines without trembling. The real breakthrough came during a snowstorm performance when our lead actor fell ill. With only an hour’s notice, I stepped into the role and remembered every line.
This courage spilled into other areas. I began leading history class discussions and volunteered as a tour guide for exchange students. At university, I joined a debate club, using my drama-trained voice to argue environmental policies. Last month, I even hosted a charity auction (拍卖) for 50 guests—something my 15-year-old self would consider unimaginable.
Do I still get nervous? Absolutely. But I’ve learned that imperfection connects us. When I mispronounced during the auction, the crowd chuckled warmly, not cruelly. Now I view each stumble not as failure, but proof that I’m daring to speak up.
4. What made the author uncomfortable during classroom activities?
A. She frequently moved house. B. She met language confusion.
C. She hated reading class. D. She lacked team spirits.
5. What does the underlined word “stumbled over” in the second paragraph mean?
A. Fell over suddenly. B. Spoke out freely.
C. Repeated words constantly. D. Kept in mind easily.
6. How did drama club participation affect the author’s later life?
A. It affected her academic performance. B. It developed her painting skills.
C. It caused serious performance anxiety. D. It increased her social confidence.
7. What does the auction incident show about the author’s growth?
A. She avoids challenging events. B. She focuses on others’ faults.
C. She accepts human imperfection. D. She prioritizes financial success.
C
Middle school is a hard time for teenagers. They’re not little kids anymore, but they’re not fully-grown. The social environment for middle schoolers can be full of ever-changing friendships, confusing messages and making clear which friends are good friends.
Life skills every middle school student needs to learn include understanding, self-respect, time management, teamwork, creative thinking, problem solving, and communication skills. These skills lay the foundation (基础) for success in high school, college, and the working world.
Middle school students should learn that not only is it OK to ask questions in class, but it’s also expected. Middle school students should know how to learn through questioning and should know that it is OK to ask teachers to explain materials they don’t understand.
They should also understand that disagreement is part of life and should begin to understand that school isn’t for teaching you what to think, but rather how to think — how to analyze and solve problems, how to separate facts from opinions, and how to seek out different viewpoints. Middle schoolers who don’t know any way out of a disagreement other than a fight are going to have a hard time in life. Peaceful and respectful ways of solving problems are an essential life skill that should be learned in middle school. Whether it’s fighting over cutting in the lunch line, or what clothes who is wearing, middle schoolers must learn how to hear each other out and to make compromises (折中).
Middle schoolers can learn to discuss respectfully, avoid interruption, and listen patiently and actively to understand what another speaker has said. Good communication is clear, short, and to the point, but with guidance, they can learn how to organize their thoughts and present their ideas properly.
Middle school may be a student’ s first time to manage their own class schedule and homework. They need tools to help them stay organized and to manage their time effectively. Middle school requires a more structured way to balance schoolwork with after-class activities and still have time for hanging out with friends.
8. What can we say about middle school students from the first two paragraphs?
A. They are complete adults.
B. They are short in life skills.
C. They want to be successful.
D. They need to be understood.
9. What skill is talked about in the fourth paragraph?
A. Being respectful.
B. Telling right from wrong.
C. Dealing with differences.
D. Avoiding disappointments.
10. What is the probable meaning of the underlined word “interruption” in paragraph 5?
A. Replying too directly.
B Communicating aimlessly.
C. Partnering with the speaker.
D. Stopping others from speaking.
11. What can be the best title for this text?
A Gains and Losses of Middle School
B. Life Skills for Middle School Students
C. Challenges that Middle Schoolers Face
D. Tips on Making Friends in Middle School
D
Handwriting notes in class might seem old-fashioned as digital technology affects nearly every part of learning. But a recent study in Frontiers in Psychology suggests that taking notes with pen and paper is still the best way to learn, especially for young children.
The new research is based on a 2014 study that suggested people may type notes quickly, without thinking much about what they’re writing — but writing by hand is slower and makes them actively pay attention to and process the incoming information. This way of building on existing knowledge can make it easier for students to stay interested and understand new ideas more easily.
To understand specific brain-activity differences during the two note-taking methods, the researchers of the new study put 256 electrodes (电极) into a hairnet, which let the scientists record 36 students’ brain activity as they wrote or typed words. When students wrote by hand, the electrodes picked up widespread brain connectivity. Typing, however, resulted in little activity in brain areas.
Vanderbilt University educational neuroscientist Sophia Vinci-Booher says the recent study stresses the clear tie between bodily movements and understanding ideas, “As you’re writing a word, you’re taking this continuous understanding of something and creating it.” That creation then affects and strengthens the connection between an action and the words related to it.
Vinci-Booher notes that the new findings don’t mean technology is always a disadvantage in the classroom. Digital tools can be more helpful for writing papers and offer more equal educational opportunities. However, more and more people are relying on digital tools to perform cognitive (认知的) tasks, such as taking photos instead of memorizing information. Yadurshana Sivashankar, a researcher at the University of Waterloo says, “If we’re not actively using these areas, then they are going to become worse over time.”
12. Why does the author mention the 2014 study?
A. To make the research more believable.
B. To compare two note taking methods.
C. To present different research findings.
D. To show the advantage of writing slowly.
13. What can be learned from the experiment in Paragraph 3?
A. Typing made the brain connectivity more active.
B. Electrodes were only used to record typing words.
C. Electrodes were connected to students’ hair directly.
D. Writing by hand uses more brain power than typing.
14. What would Sophia Vinci-Booher probably advise students to do?
A. Memorize words by writing. B. Take advantage of digital tools.
C. Use a new way to taking notes. D. Make better use of technology.
15. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Technology is an advantage in classroom.
B. Taking notes improves students’ brain activity.
C. Writing by hand comes with learning benefits.
D Two note-taking methods have clear differences.

Growing up, I was scared of being the center of attention. As the quiet daughter of a military family that moved every two years, I struggled to make friends across three different countries. My accent shifted awkwardly between British and American English, making classroom readings a nightmare. Determined to break free from my shell, I joined my high school drama club—a decision that terrified me more than moving to a new neighborhood.
The first month felt impossible. While others memorized lines effortlessly, I stumbled over self-introduction, my palms sweating under the stage lights. Our director’s improvisation (即兴) exercises were the worst. She’d shout unexpected plots like “You’re an astronaut discovering aliens!”, giving us ten seconds to react. My mind would blank with a lump in my throat.
Yet week after week, something changed. The supportive laughter of my peers replaced my fear of embarrassment. By junior year, I landed a supporting role in our town, delivering lines without trembling. The real breakthrough came during a snowstorm performance when our lead actor fell ill. With only an hour’s notice, I stepped into the role and remembered every line.
This courage spilled into other areas. I began leading history class discussions and volunteered as a tour guide for exchange students. At university, I joined a debate club, using my drama-trained voice to argue environmental policies. Last month, I even hosted a charity auction (拍卖) for 50 guests—something my 15-year-old self would consider unimaginable.
Do I still get nervous? Absolutely. But I’ve learned that imperfection connects us. When I mispronounced during the auction, the crowd chuckled warmly, not cruelly. Now I view each stumble not as failure, but proof that I’m daring to speak up.
4. What made the author uncomfortable during classroom activities?
A. She frequently moved house. B. She met language confusion.
C. She hated reading class. D. She lacked team spirits.
5. What does the underlined word “stumbled over” in the second paragraph mean?
A. Fell over suddenly. B. Spoke out freely.
C. Repeated words constantly. D. Kept in mind easily.
6. How did drama club participation affect the author’s later life?

C. It caused serious performance anxiety. D. It increased her social confidence.
7. What does the auction incident show about the author’s growth?

C. She accepts human imperfection. D. She prioritizes financial success.

Middle school is a hard time for teenagers. They’re not little kids anymore, but they’re not fully-grown. The social environment for middle schoolers can be full of ever-changing friendships, confusing messages and making clear which friends are good friends.
Life skills every middle school student needs to learn include understanding, self-respect, time management, teamwork, creative thinking, problem solving, and communication skills. These skills lay the foundation (基础) for success in high school, college, and the working world.
Middle school students should learn that not only is it OK to ask questions in class, but it’s also expected. Middle school students should know how to learn through questioning and should know that it is OK to ask teachers to explain materials they don’t understand.
They should also understand that disagreement is part of life and should begin to understand that school isn’t for teaching you what to think, but rather how to think — how to analyze and solve problems, how to separate facts from opinions, and how to seek out different viewpoints. Middle schoolers who don’t know any way out of a disagreement other than a fight are going to have a hard time in life. Peaceful and respectful ways of solving problems are an essential life skill that should be learned in middle school. Whether it’s fighting over cutting in the lunch line, or what clothes who is wearing, middle schoolers must learn how to hear each other out and to make compromises (折中).
Middle schoolers can learn to discuss respectfully, avoid interruption, and listen patiently and actively to understand what another speaker has said. Good communication is clear, short, and to the point, but with guidance, they can learn how to organize their thoughts and present their ideas properly.
Middle school may be a student’ s first time to manage their own class schedule and homework. They need tools to help them stay organized and to manage their time effectively. Middle school requires a more structured way to balance schoolwork with after-class activities and still have time for hanging out with friends.
8. What can we say about middle school students from the first two paragraphs?
A. They are complete adults.
B. They are short in life skills.
C. They want to be successful.
D. They need to be understood.
9. What skill is talked about in the fourth paragraph?
A. Being respectful.
B. Telling right from wrong.
C. Dealing with differences.
D. Avoiding disappointments.
10. What is the probable meaning of the underlined word “interruption” in paragraph 5?
A. Replying too directly.
B. Communicating aimlessly.
C. Partnering with the speaker.
D. Stopping others from speaking.
11. What can be the best title for this text?
A. Gains and Losses of Middle School
B. Life Skills for Middle School Students
C. Challenges that Middle Schoolers Face
D. Tips on Making Friends in Middle School
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. B

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍中学生需要学习的各项生活技能及其重要性。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Middle school is a hard time for teenagers. They’re not little kids anymore, but they’re not fully-grown. (对青少年来说,中学是一段艰难的时期。他们不再是小孩子了,但他们还没有完全长大。)”和第二段中的“Life skills every middle school student needs to learn include understanding, self-respect, time management, teamwork, creative thinking, problem solving, and communication skills.(每个中学生都需要学习的生活技能包括理解、自尊、时间管理、团队合作、创造性思维、解决问题和沟通技巧。)”可知,中学生还没有完全成熟,需要学习这些生活技能,所以可以推断,他们在生活技能方面有所欠缺,。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“They should also understand that disagreement is part of life and should begin to understand that school isn’t for teaching you what to think, but rather how to think — how to analyze and solve problems, how to separate facts from opinions, and how to seek out different viewpoints. (他们还应该明白,分歧是生活的一部分,而且应该开始理解,学校并非是教你思考什么,而是教你如何思考 —— 如何分析和解决问题,如何区分事实与观点,以及如何探寻不同的视角。)”以及“Whether it’s fighting over cutting in the lunch line, or what clothes who is wearing, middle schoolers must learn how to hear each other out and to make compromises (折中).(无论是为午餐排队时插队的事情争吵,还是为某人穿了什么衣服而争执,中学生都必须学会倾听彼此的想法并做出折中。)”可知,第四段谈论的是处理分歧的技能。故选C项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段中的“Middle schoolers can learn to discuss respectfully, avoid interruption, and listen patiently and actively to understand what another speaker has said.(中学生可以学习尊重地讨论,避免interruption,耐心且积极地倾听,以理解另一个发言者所说的话。)”可知,此处讲述在讨论中要尊重他人,耐心倾听,可推断此处指不要打断对方,所以划线单词“interruption”的意思为“打断”。故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第二段“Life skills every middle school student needs to learn include understanding, self-respect, time management, teamwork, creative thinking, problem solving, and communication skills. These skills lay the foundation (基础) for success in high school, college, and the working world.(每个中学生都需要学习的生活技能包括理解能力、自尊、时间管理、团队合作、创造性思维、解决问题的能力以及沟通技巧。这些技能为他们在高中、大学以及职场中的成功奠定了基础。)”以及下文中分段介绍的这些技能可知,文章围绕中学生需要学习的生活技能展开,包括理解、自尊、时间管理、处理分歧、沟通等技能,因此“中学生的生活技能”最适合作为本文标题。故选B项。

Handwriting notes in class might seem old-fashioned as digital technology affects nearly every part of learning. But a recent study in Frontiers in Psychology suggests that taking notes with pen and paper is still the best way to learn, especially for young children.
The new research is based on a 2014 study that suggested people may type notes quickly, without thinking much about what they’re writing — but writing by hand is slower and makes them actively pay attention to and process the incoming information. This way of building on existing knowledge can make it easier for students to stay interested and understand new ideas more easily.
To understand specific brain-activity differences during the two note-taking methods, the researchers of the new study put 256 electrodes (电极) into a hairnet, which let the scientists record 36 students’ brain activity as they wrote or typed words. When students wrote by hand, the electrodes picked up widespread brain connectivity. Typing, however, resulted in little activity in brain areas.
Vanderbilt University educational neuroscientist Sophia Vinci-Booher says the recent study stresses the clear tie between bodily movements and understanding ideas, “As you’re writing a word, you’re taking this continuous understanding of something and creating it.” That creation then affects and strengthens the connection between an action and the words related to it.
Vinci-Booher notes that the new findings don’t mean technology is always a disadvantage in the classroom. Digital tools can be more helpful for writing papers and offer more equal educational opportunities. However, more and more people are relying on digital tools to perform cognitive (认知的) tasks, such as taking photos instead of memorizing information. Yadurshana Sivashankar, a researcher at the University of Waterloo says, “If we’re not actively using these areas, then they are going to become worse over time.”
12. Why does the author mention the 2014 study?
A. To make the research more believable.
B. To compare two note taking methods.
C. To present different research findings.
D. To show the advantage of writing slowly.
13. What can be learned from the experiment in Paragraph 3?
A. Typing made the brain connectivity more active.
B. Electrodes were only used to record typing words.
C. Electrodes were connected to students’ hair directly.
D. Writing by hand uses more brain power than typing.
14. What would Sophia Vinci-Booher probably advise students to do?
A. Memorize words by writing. B. Take advantage of digital tools.
C. Use a new way to taking notes. D. Make better use of technology.
15. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Technology is an advantage in classroom.
B. Taking notes improves students’ brain activity.
C. Writing by hand comes with learning benefits.
D Two note-taking methods have clear differences.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项研究表明手写笔记能增强学习效果,尤其是对儿童而言。手写可激活大脑视觉和运动区域,促进信息加工与概念理解,优于键盘输入。然而科技在教育中仍有其价值,关键在于平衡使用。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The new research is bases on a 2014 study that suggested people may type notes quickly, without thinking much about what they’re writing — but writing by hand is slower and makes them actively pay attention to and process the incoming information. (这项新的研究建立在2014年的一项研究的基础上,该研究表明,人们可能会快速打字,而不会过多考虑自己在写什么,但手写速度较慢,会让他们积极关注和处理收到的信息。)”可知,新的研究建立在2014年的研究的基础上,所以作者提及2014年的研究是为了让新的研究更具说服力。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“When students wrote by hand, the electrodes picked up widespread brain connectivity. Typing, however, resulted in little activity in brain areas. (当学生用手写字时,电极发现了广泛的大脑连接。然而,打字导致这些大脑区域的活动极小。)”可知,手写可以激活大脑更广泛区域的活动,相比之下,打字只在这些区域产生了最小的活动,由此可知,手写比打字更能激活大脑活动。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Vanderbilt University educational neuroscientist Sophia Vinci-Booher says the recent study stresses the clear tie between physical actions and understanding ideas, “As you’re writing a word, you’re taking this continuous understanding of something and creating it.” That creation then affects and strengthens the connection between an action and the words related to it.” (范德比尔特大学教育神经科学家Sophia Vinci Booher表示,最近的研究强调了身体动作和概念理解之间的明确联系,“当你写一个单词时,你正在对某物进行持续的理解,并创造它。”然后,这种创造会影响并加强动作与相关单词之间的联系。)”可知,Sophia Vinci Booher认为写单词可以增进持续的理解,所以Sophia Vinci Booher可能会建议学生通过写文章来记忆单词。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“But a recent study in Frontiers in Psychology suggests that taking notes with pen and paper is still the best way to learn, especially for young children. (但《心理学前沿》最近的一项研究表明,用笔和纸做笔记仍然是最好的学习方式,尤其是对儿童来说。)”以及文章内容可知,本文主要介绍了手写笔记能增强学习效果,有助于学习。故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了毛笔的象征意义、历史以及对毛笔制作技艺的保护等。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:也许毛笔是人类发明的为数不多的工具之一,几个世纪以来,它既非常实用又有非常丰富的象征意义。主句中已有系动词 is,所以设空处应用非谓语动词,结合句意可知,此处作后置定语,修饰名词短语 the few tools;the few tools 和 invent 之间是逻辑上的被动关系,应用过去分词形式。故填invented。
【37题详解】
考查名词复数形式。句意:也许毛笔是人类发明的为数不多的工具之一,几个世纪以来,它既非常实用又有非常丰富的象征意义。century意为“世纪”,为可数名词。空前没有限定词修饰,应用名词复数。over centuries 意为“几个世纪以来”。故填centuries。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它不仅表达了普通人的情感,而且记录了历史,创造了中国文化中最精致的艺术和文学,极大地影响了中华文明的发展道路。分析句子可知,此处为非谓语动词作结果状语,句子主语 “it”(指代毛笔)与 “influence”之间是主动关系,且“影响中华文明的发展道路”是前文所述内容带来的自然结果,故用现在分词。故填influencing。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意:毛笔不仅是中国文化的代表,也是中国文化的创造者。设空处作表语,根据空前的the和空后的of Chinese culture可知,此处应用名词,表示毛笔是中国文化的创造者,creator意为“创造者”,为可数名词。此处的“创造者”指代前文的The writing brush,表示单数概念,应用名词单数。故填creator。
【40题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:秦国的大将军蒙恬长期以来被认为是毛笔的始祖。分析句子可知,be considered as意为“被认为是……”,为固定搭配。故填as。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意:他看到一只倒霉的兔子的尾巴在地上留下了一连串血迹,这启发了他制作历史上中国的第一支毛笔。根据句意可知,此处泛指一只倒霉的兔子,且unlucky的发音以元音音素开头,所以应用不定冠词an修饰。故填an。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:他看到一只倒霉的兔子的尾巴在地上留下了一连串血迹,这启发了他制作历史上中国的第一支毛笔。分析句子可知,设空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为前面的整个主句,关系词在从句中作主语,所以应用which引导该从句。故填which。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意:事实上,中国毛笔的历史至少可以追溯至6,000年前。此处需用副词作状语,修饰整个句子。“actual”的副词形式为“actually”,意为“事实上”,注意句首首字母大写。故填Actually。
【44题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:考古证据表明,6,000多年前,居住在今天陕西西安以东10千米的半坡遗址的人们用毛刷绘制图案和线条。在that引导的宾语从句中,主语为people,设空处作谓语。结合时间状语more than 6, 000 years ago可知,此处表示过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时。故填used。
【45题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:为了保护这一古老的工艺,湖笔制作技术于2006年被列为国家级非物质文化遗产。分析句子可知,此处in an effort to do sth为固定搭配,意为“努力做某事”。故填to protect。

【答案】got all his money stolen
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查句子结构。题目要求使用get+宾语+宾补,根据句意并分析句子结构可知,主语为John,宾语“钱”是被偷走的,考虑用get sth. done的结构,表示“使某事被(别人)做”,即宾补为“偷窃”steal的过去分词形式,用all his money表示“他所有的钱”,yesterday提示时态为一般过去时。故填got all his money stolen。

If I’m not ________________________________________________________________________________.
【答案】studying, I’m either reading or working out
