Every year around August, millions of teens take their parents to stores to buy new clothes for the start of the school year. Not every parent can afford this, and some teens are forced to go to school in the same clothes they wore last year. The obvious differences in clothes cause differences among students. There is a simple solution to this problem: school uniforms (校服).
I know from personal experience and surveys that wearing uniforms creates a sense of equality among peers (同龄人).
8
From sixth grade until I graduated from senior high school, I had attended a school that required students to wear uniforms. The uniform was very simple: dark brown shoes, green-brown pants, and a white shirt. The uniform left little room for any kind of self-expression, especially through clothes.
However, I learned how to stand out by expressing myself through my personality, art, and sports. I hadn't known I could draw until the sixth grade. I also would never have learned of my musical abilities if it hadn't been for my desire to find ways to express myself. Uniforms taught me that I was myself, regardless of what I wore.
9
Uniforms also contribute to a much safer learning environment. I remember a particular event that happened in my junior high school. A man ran away from prison and wanted to hide in the gym of our school. Luckily, cameras all over the school quickly found the stranger before any danger could ever happen as he was out__of__place. School officials kept the man locked inside our gym until the police came to take him back to prison.
Uniforms help provide a better educational experience for all students no matter what race, culture, or economic class (经济阶层). In closing, wearing uniforms is good for both schools and students.
篇章导读:本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过介绍自身经历和体会说明了穿校服带来的好处。
10
4.How does the author introduce the topic?
A.By explaining a basic rule.
B.By challenging others' views.
C.By describing a common problem.
D.By sharing his parents' experience.
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中的“There is a simple solution to this problem: school uniforms (校服). (这个问题有一个简单的解决办法:校服。)”可知,作者用“this problem”引出了文章主题。第一段中的“Every year around August ... differences among students.”描述了每学年开始,青少年都会购买新衣服,服装上的明显差异造成了学生之间的差异。由此可推知,作者通过描写一个普遍问题而引出主题。故选C。
11
5.Which of the following could the author agree with?
A.Uniforms should be more modern.
B.Uniforms can help shape better students.
C.Uniforms are popular with students.
D.Uniforms are bad for self-development.
解析:推理判断题。根据第四段中的“However, I learned ... art, and sports.(然而,我学会了如何通过个性、艺术和运动来表达自己,从而脱颖而出。)”及“Uniforms taught me that I was myself, regardless of what I wore.(校服让我知道我就是我自己,而不在于我的穿着。)”可推知,作者以自身经历说明了校服能够帮助塑造更好的学生。故选B。
12
6.What do the underlined words “out of place” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.Dressing differently. B.Standing straight.
C.Running fast. D.Breathing heavily.
解析:词义猜测题。根据画线部分所在句“Luckily, cameras all over ... out__of__place. (幸运的是,危险可能发生之前,遍布学校里的摄像头很快发现了这个陌生人,因为他out of place。)”并结合全文可知,这个陌生人因为没有穿校服,与穿着校服的学生不同,所以在校园环境中很显眼,很容易被发现,由此可推知,out of place意为“穿着不同”,与A项同义。故选A。
13
7.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A.To record his high school life.
B.To show his supportive view towards uniforms.
C.To ask students to like what they wear.
D.To introduce high school uniforms.
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In closing, wearing uniforms is good for both schools and students. (总之,穿校服对学校和学生都有好处。)”并结合全文内容可推知,作者的写作目的是表达自己支持校服的观点。故选B。

As the summer sun faded, I found myself standing at the gate of senior high school, both excited and nervous. I took a deep breath and chose a seat by the window, wondering who my new classmates would be.
Soon, a friendly teacher entered and introduced herself as Mrs Li. Her gentle smile put me at ease. She handed out textbooks and explained the school rules, but what caught my attention most was her advice: “Senior high is a new beginning—don't be afraid to try new things.” That day, I made my first friend, Lin Tao, who sat next to me. We shared stories about our summer vacations and laughed about our nervousness. “At least we're in this together,” he said, and I nodded, feeling less alone.
15
The next few days were a mix of challenges and discoveries. The workload was heavier than in junior high, especially in math and English. I struggled (挣扎) with the faster pace of classes, but my classmates were quick to help. During lunch breaks, we formed small study groups, discussing problems and sharing tips.
By the end of the week, I felt more settled. I still forgot where some classrooms were, and my desk was a bit messy (凌乱), but I no longer felt like a stranger. Senior high school was proving to be a place full of opportunities—challenging but exciting. As I walked home on Friday, I thought about Mrs Li's words. She was right: it's a new chapter. I'm ready to embrace every moment, even the messy ones.
16
This first week taught me that change can be daunting,__but with openmindedness and new friends, it becomes an adventure. I can't wait to see what the rest of the year will bring!
篇章导读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者高中第一周的经历与感受。
17
8.Why did the author feel less alone on the first day?
A.Because Mrs Li gave them textbooks.
B.Because the author made friends with Lin Tao.
C.Because the classroom was familiar.
D.Because the workload was light.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“That day, I made ... feeling less alone.”可知,作者第一天因为交到了朋友——林涛,而不再感到孤单。故选B。
18
9.What can we infer about the author's classmates?
A.They didn't like helping others.
B.They worked together to overcome academic challenges.
C.They formed study groups to relax.
D.Talking to new students was something they actively avoided.
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中的“I struggled (挣扎) with ... and sharing tips.”可知,同学们主动帮助作者,一起组建学习小组讨论问题并分享建议。由此可推知,他们共同应对学业挑战。故选B。
19
10.What does the underlined word “daunting” in the last paragraph means?
A.Exciting. B.Easy.
C.Frightening. D.Boring.
解析:词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句“change can be daunting,__but with openmindedness and new friends, it becomes an adventure”中的“but”表示转折可知,daunting应为一个贬义词。结合全文作者对陌生环境感到紧张的描述可推知,daunting意为“令人畏惧的”,与frightening (可怕的)意思相近。故选C。
20
11.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.The author's first week experiences and feelings in senior high.
B.Ways to make friends and adapt to new school life quickly.
C.The role of study groups in overcoming academic challenges.

篇章导读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了高中开学第一天作者的所见所闻所感。
41
1.答案:a
解析:考查冠词。campus是可数名词,此处泛指“一个新的大校园”;new的发音以辅音音素开头,所以应用不定冠词a。故填a。

42

解析:考查代词。introduce oneself to sb表示“向某人介绍自己”,句子主语是we,所以应用反身代词ourselves。故填ourselves。

7.答案:challenging
解析:考查词性转换。be动词后接形容词作表语,此处表示高中学习将是“具有挑战性的”。故填challenging。
8.答案:After
解析:考查介词。根据后文“I explored the school library”可知,此处表示下课后,在句中作时间状语。故填After。
45
9.答案:related
解析:考查词性转换。设空处应用形容词作后置定语,修饰a few (books)。related意为“相关的”。故填related。
