Ideas of making the first week of high school easy
Frank, Aged 21
I think almost every kid feels both nervous and excited before their first day of high school. But you will probably love it. I know I did. You should join some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck!
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 in one night. It’s best to learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to do.
Eddie, Aged 20
When I started high school, I was really nervous too, especially since I had been homeschooled (家中教学) 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.
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 (高年级学生) 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.
1. What can we infer (推断) from Sharon about high school?
A. Teachers are quite strict.
B. Students often stay up at night.
C. Teachers provide much care for students.
D. Students should make good use of their time.
2. How did Eddie feel on his first day of high school?
A. Bored. B. Excited. C. Worried. D. Relaxed.
3. Who mentions the importance of friends?
A. Frank. B. Eddie. C. Sharon. D. David.

There’s no doubt that football is the global sport. Though basketball, tennis, and other sports are popular too, nothing comes close to football. Being played in every country in the world, football provides dozens of superstars. The numbers are greater when compared to any other sport, and this drives the popularity of football up. Have you ever wondered when the sport started and became popular?
Football has its origin (起源) in China and has a history of more than 2,000 years. However, modern football originally appeared in Britain in the 19th century. Folk football matches had been played before in many cities and towns, but never on a professional level.
Football became a winter sport game played in different schools. The rules were carried out by each school, and this made it difficult for players to play an official game with each other. It all changed in 1849 at the University of Cambridge that invented a set of standard rules known as the Cambridge rules of football. From that moment, a new star sport was born.
By the early 20th century, football had spread all across Europe. In 1904, FIFA was set up. There are seven original members, including France, Denmark and Spain, FIFA became the governing body for many associations in Europe.
England’s international success improved the popularity of the sport in the country. The league (联赛) in Britain was set up in 1992. From the 1990s, it became a truly impressive piece of football organization, becoming the world’s top football league in the process.
Football is obviously the most popular sport in the world. It is impossible for any other sport to take its place, especially with leagues spending billions of pounds every year to stay in the focus.
8. What is the author’s purpose of writing paragraph 1?
A. To describe the level of football.
B. To introduce the topic of the text.
C. To debate the main idea of the text.
D. To introduce famous football leagues.
9. Where did modern football first start?
A. In China. B. In France.
C. In Britain. D. In Spain.
10. Why was it difficult to play an official game before 1849?
A. The rules always changed.
B. There were no common rules.
C. The season made players hard to win.
D. Officials made players misunderstand the rules.
11. How is the text mainly developed?
A. By time order. B. By space order.
C. By listing numbers. D. By giving examples.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】

English is fast becoming the language of science around the world, but what is its future among everyday speakers? One expert points out that the percentage(比率) of native English speakers is declining (降低) while the languages of other rapidly growing regions are being spoken by increasing numbers of people. But English will continue to remain widespread and important.
However, British language scholar David Graddol says English will probably drop in dominance(主导) by the middle of this century to rank after Chinese, about equally with Arabic, Hindi, and Urdu. “The number of people speaking English as a first language continues to rise, but it isn’t rising nearly as fast as the numbers of many other languages around the world, simply because the main population group has been largely in the less developed countries where languages other than English have been spoken,” he says.
In a recent article in the journal Science, Mr. Graddol noted that three languages that are not near the top of the list of the most widely spoken now might be there soon. These are Bengali, Tamil, and Malay, spoken in south and southeast Asia.
David Crystal, the author of the Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language, says about 1.5 billion of the world’s six billion people speak it as a second language compared to the 400 million native speakers. But another expert on the English language says Mr. Graddol underestimates (低估) the future of its dominance. “Nobody quite knows what’s going to happen because no language has been in this position before. But all the evidence (证据) suggests that the English language snowball is rolling down a hill and is getting faster” he said.
12. In David Graddol’ s opinion, English will _______.
A. remain widespread and important
B. be more important than any other language
C. lose its dominant position
D. die away in the near future
13. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph implies that ______.
A. more and more language users will choose English
B. the English language snowball is rolling down faster than any time in the past
C. English language will soon drop in dominance
D. snowballs will roll down faster than language balls
14. How many experts does the passage mention who express their ideas about the future of English?
A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5.
15. What should be the best title for the passage?
A. English Remaining in the Dominant Position
B. The Future of English? Who Knows?
C. Opinions from Different Experts
D. The English Language Snowball Rolling Down
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文属于议论文,文章讨论了英语的未来,及英语是否仍然还是第一语言,不同的人表示来了不同的观点。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“However, British language scholar David Graddol says English will probably drop in dominance (主导) by the middle of this century to rank after Chinese, about equally with Arabic, Hindi, and Urdu. (然而,英国语言学者David Graddol表示,到本世纪中叶,英语的主导地位可能会下降,仅次于汉语,与阿拉伯语,印地语和乌尔都语大致相同。)”可知,David Graddol认为未来英语的主导地位会下降,仅次于汉语,也就是说英语的主导地位会丧失。故选C。
【13题详解】
句意猜测题。根据最后一段“But another expert on the English language says Mr. Graddol underestimates (低估) the future of its dominance. (但另一位英语专家说Graddol低估了英语统治地位的未来”。)”可知,Graddol认为英语还是具有统治地位的。所以推知划线句子的句意为:越来越多的人会选择英语。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“One expert points out that the percentage(比率) of native English speakers is declining (降低) while the languages of other rapidly growing regions are being spoken by increasing numbers of people. (一位专家指出,以英语为母语的人的比例正在下降,而其他快速发展的地区的语言正在被越来越多的人使用。)”及第二段“However, British language scholar David Graddol says English will probably drop in dominance (主导) by the middle of this century to rank after Chinese, about equally with Arabic, Hindi, and Urdu. (然而,英国语言学者David Graddol表示,到本世纪中叶,英语的主导地位可能会下降,仅次于汉语,与阿拉伯语,印地语和乌尔都语大致相同。)”及最后一段“But another expert on the English language says Mr. Graddol underestimates (低估) the future of its dominance. (但另一位英语专家说Graddol低估了英语统治地位的未来”。)”可知,一共有三名专家对英语的未来发表了个人观点。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“English is fast becoming the language of science around the world, but what is its future among everyday speakers? (英语正迅速成为世界各地的科学语言,但在日常使用者中它的未来是什么呢?)”可知,文章讨论了英语的未来,及英语是否仍然还是第一语言,不同的人表示来了不同的观点。故文章标题是The Future of English? Who Knows? (英语的未来?谁知道呢?)故选B。

【16题详解】
根据后文句子“Young dogs will need different types of dog food compared to older dogs.(与老年狗相比,幼犬需要不同类型的狗粮。)”可知,前文应该是说宠物的年龄与饮食的关系,D选项“Animals require different diets based on age.(根据不同的年龄宠物需要不同的饮食。)”符合语境,故选D。
【17题详解】
根据前文句子“Generally ,a pet’s home should be clean so it is a good environment for the animal.(一般来说,宠物的家应该是干净的,这样才是动物的良好环境)”,说明环境很重要。选项G“Without good living conditions , an animal will get sick more , and feel unhappy.(没有良好的生活条件,动物会更加生病,感到不快乐。)”都是指宠物生活环境的内容,故选G。
【18题详解】
根据前文句子“If you have a dog that always plays in the mud, it’s necessary to give it a shower every day!(如果你有一只总是在泥里玩耍的狗,那么每天给它洗个澡是必要的)”,而后文句子“If it is too hot or too cold for you , then it will be the same for the animal.(如果对你来说太热或太冷,那么宠物也一样)”,说的是调水温,可见中间是说给动物洗澡也要尝试水温,选项E“Remember that you should check the water first with your hand.(记住你应该先用手检查一下水。)”也是说调节水温符合语境。故选E。
【19题详解】
根据后文“However, a lot of bad pet behavior is simply caused by boredom.(然而,宠物的许多不良行为都是由无聊引起的)”可知这句话是在分析宠物的许多不良行为的原因,所以空格处应该介绍宠物的不良行为。C选项“No one wants a cat that jumps on the table.(没有人想要跳到桌子上的猫)”就是在说宠物跳到桌子上是一种不好的行为,符合逻辑关系。故选C。
【20题详解】
根据后文的叙述“Put a collar on your pet with your personal information and the pet’s name. Remember to close the cage door so there is no chance of escaping and being in an unsafe place.(给宠物戴上项圈,记住关上笼子的门,这样就不会有机会逃出去,也不会到不安全的地方。)”可知宠物主人应该做什么,也就是对于宠物的责任,与B选项“Be an owner with a sense of duty.(做一个有责任感的主人。)”意义一致。故选B。

37. reasons
38 for 39. communicating##communication
40. quicker
41. a 42. is used
43. which 44. their
45. spoken
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。文章介绍了词汇变化的几个原因。
【36题详解】
考查副词。句意:新词随着世界的巨大变化而诞生。 修饰动词changing用副词作状语,故填greatly。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意:这些变化有一些原因。reason是可数名词,由some修饰用复数,故填reasons
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意:毫不奇怪,科技是产生很多新词的原因。be responsible for“为……负责,形成……的原因”是固定短语,根据句意,故填for。
【39题详解】
考查动名词或名词。句意:此外,新的交流方式也创造了新的语言。介词后接动名词或者名词作宾语,communication“交流”不可数名词,故填communicating/communication。
【40题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:当他们在手机上互相发短信时,朋友们倾向于使用一种更快、更简单的方式,比如“cu18”和“lol”。and连接“quick”和easier作并列定语,根据句意,用形容词比较级表示这样的方式更快更容易,故填quicker。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意:第三,青少年对某些词的新含义有很大的影响。have a great influence on“对……有极大影响”是固定短语,泛指“一种……影响”,用不定冠词,故填a。
【42题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:例如,“sick”被用来意味着“伟大”,“Wassup”的意味着“你好”。文章主时态是一般现在时,讲述现在的事实,主语“sick”与谓语动词use是被动关系,用被动语态,且主语是单数,谓语动词用单数,故填is used。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:最后一个原因是全球化,这是一种在全球传播英语的有效方式。分析句子可知,空格处引导定语从句,修饰globalization,从句中作主语,指物,引导非限制性定语从句用关系代词which,故填which。
【44题详解】
考查代词。句意:不是以英语为母语的人正在创造他们自己的语言形式,叫做全球化语言。one’s own“某人自己的”,根据前文的speakers可知,one’s用形容词物主代词their代替,故填their。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:全球化语言有一天会成为世界上最常被讲的语言吗?分析句子可知,speak修饰language作定语,根据句意,二者之间是被动关系,故用过去分词作定语,故填spoken。

Ideas of making the first week of high school easy
Frank, Aged 21
I think almost every kid feels both nervous and excited before their first day of high school. But you will probably love it. I know I did. You should join some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck!
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 in one night. It’s best to learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to do.
Eddie, Aged 20
When I started high school I was really nervous too, especially since I had been homeschooled (家中教学) 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.
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 (高年级学生) 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.
1. What can we infer (推断) from Sharon about high school?
A. Teachers are quite strict.
B. Students often stay up at night.
C. Teachers provide much care for students.
D. Students should make good use of their time.
2. How did Eddie feel on his first day of high school?
A. Bored. B. Excited. C. Worried. D. Relaxed.
3. Who mentions the importance of friends?
A. Frank. B. Eddie. C. Sharon. D. David.

There’s no doubt that football is the global sport. Though basketball, tennis, and other sports are popular too, nothing comes close to football. Being played in every country in the world, football provides dozens of superstars. The numbers are greater when compared to any other sport, and this drives the popularity of football up. Have you ever wondered when the sport started and became popular?
Football has its origin (起源) in China and has a history of more than 2,000 years. However, modern football originally appeared in Britain in the 19th century. Folk football matches had been played before in many cities and towns, but never on a professional level.
Football became a winter sport game played in different schools. The rules were carried out by each school, and this made it difficult for players to play an official game with each other. It all changed in 1849 at the University of Cambridge that invented a set of standard rules known as the Cambridge rules of football. From that moment, a new star sport was born.
By the early 20th century, football had spread all across Europe. In 1904, FIFA was set up. There are seven original members, including France, Denmark and Spain, FIFA became the governing body for many associations in Europe.
England’s international success improved the popularity of the sport in the country. The league (联赛) in Britain was set up in 1992. From the 1990s, it became a truly impressive piece of football organization, becoming the world’s top football league in the process.
Football is obviously the most popular sport in the world. It is impossible for any other sport to take its place, especially with leagues spending billions of pounds every year to stay in the focus.
8. What is the author’s purpose of writing paragraph 1?
A. To describe the level of football.
B. To introduce the topic of the text.
C. To debate the main idea of the text.
D. To introduce famous football leagues.
9. Where did modern football first start?
A. In China. B. In France.
C. In Britain. D. In Spain.
10. Why was it difficult to play an official game before 1849?
A. The rules always changed.
B. There were no common rules.
C. The season made players hard to win.
D. Officials made players misunderstand the rules.
11. How is the text mainly developed?
A. By time order. B. By space order.
C. By listing numbers. D. By giving examples.

English is fast becoming the language of science around the world, but what is its future among everyday speakers? One expert points out that the percentage(比率) of native English speakers is declining (降低) while the languages of other rapidly growing regions are being spoken by increasing numbers of people. But English will continue to remain widespread and important.
However, British language scholar David Graddol says English will probably drop in dominance(主导) by the middle of this century to rank after Chinese, about equally with Arabic, Hindi, and Urdu. “The number of people speaking English as a first language continues to rise, but it isn’t rising nearly as fast as the numbers of many other languages around the world, simply because the main population group has been largely in the less developed countries where languages other than English have been spoken,” he says.
In a recent article in the journal Science, Mr. Graddol noted that three languages that are not near the top of the list of the most widely spoken now might be there soon. These are Bengali, Tamil, and Malay, spoken in south and southeast Asia.
David Crystal, the author of the Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language, says about 1.5 billion of the world’s six billion people speak it as a second language compared to the 400 million native speakers. But another expert on the English language says Mr. Graddol underestimates (低估) the future of its dominance. “Nobody quite knows what’s going to happen because no language has been in this position before. But all the evidence (证据) suggests that the English language snowball is rolling down a hill and is getting faster” he said.
12. In David Graddol’ s opinion, English will _______.
A. remain widespread and important
B. be more important than any other language
C. lose its dominant position
D. die away in the near future
13. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph implies that ______.
A. more and more language users will choose English
B. the English language snowball is rolling down faster than any time in the past
C. English language will soon drop in dominance
D. snowballs will roll down faster than language balls
14. How many experts does the passage mention who express their ideas about the future of English?
A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5.
15. What should be the best title for the passage?
A English Remaining in the Dominant Position
B. The Future of English? Who Knows?
C. Opinions from Different Experts
