Frank,Aged 21 I think almost every kid feels both nervous and excited before their first day.You will probably love it.I know I did.You should join in some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable.Good luck! 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 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. Eddie,Aged 20 When I started high school I was nervous too,especially since I had been homeschooled 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 hard,but things will become easier before you know it. 21.What can we infer from Sharon's words about high school? A.Teachers are quite strict. B.Students often stay up at night C.Teachers provide little care for students.D.Students should make good use of their time. 22.Who mentions the importance of friends?

The day started very early at 7:00 a.m.I had my breakfast downstairs with my mom.She could tell that I was very nervous.Mom kept asking me what was wrong.She told me I had nothing to worry about and that everyone was going to love me.If they didn't love me,mom said to send them her way for a good talking to.I couldn't stop laughing. My mom dropped me off at the school gate about five minutes before the bell.A little blonde(金黄色的)girl got dropped off at the same time and started waving(招手)atme.She ran over and told me her name was Abigail.She was very nice and we became close straight away.We spent all morning together and began to talk to another girl called Stacey.The three of us sat together in class all day and we even made our way home together!It went so quickly.Our teacher told us that tomorrow we would really start learning and developing new skills I cannot wait until tomorrow and feel as though I am really going to enjoy my time at my new school.I only hope that my mew friends feel the same way too. 2 24.How did the author feel the night before her new school?

C Have you been dreaming of taking a vacation,but wonder whether it's better to take a solo journey,or have an adventure with friends?In my opinion,there are advantages in both travelling alone and in a group. Group travel is generally much cheaper.You can get group rates on accommodations,certain modes of transportation,or tickets to tourist attractions.If you're able to reduce costs,you'll have extra money to see and do more things. It is also safer to travel in a group.Do you remember when you were little your parents or teachers used the "buddy system"?It doesn't only apply to-children.It's especially true when travelling,particularly in unknown places.Nobody can forecast problems or dangers on the way,such as traffie accidents and conflicts with strangers. When you travel with a friend or within a group,you have someone to watch your back. Travelling with other people can also create shared experiences.For many people D.A rule of not travelling to unknown places. 30.What advantage of solo travel is not mentioned? A.You can decide where to go,when to go,and what to eat. B.You can join other travellers based on your interests. C.You can have time to reflect and think alone.

D When Su Bingtian was first added to the track and field team of his junior high school,what he did most was not training or competing,but carrying bags for his senior teammates and watching them running. Nobody,including Su himself,would believe the small boy could one day become the first Asian man to reach the 100m final at the World Championships,running side-to-side with the fastest sprinters in the world. Born in a rural area in China's southeastern province of Guangdong,Su started training in athletics in 2003.After 12 years of fast progress,Su emerged from a bag-carrier to the fastest man in the world most populous country,breaking the national record after he clocked 9.99 seconds at the IAAF Diamond League Eugene leg on May 30.He is the first and only Chinese that have ever dipped under the 10-second barrier. He attributed such progress to a revolutionary technique change starting from last winter. When Su first began to train in sprinting,he had been using his right foot to start off.But he always found his third step a little bit weak and unsteady which would affect his intermediate running and the whole rhythm.After consulting with his coach Yuan Guoqiang, China's first national record holder,Su has changed his way to start with his left foot going forward first. "It was like a desperate gamble,a brand new start for me.I knew if it works I would find some room to improve,otherwise it could lead to the end of my career,"Su said. "To be honest,I am not fully prepared for such pressure and intensive media coverage.I will learn to deal with it as soon as possible.But training and competing will always be my priority,"said a determined Su."I hope my story can encourage those young people to believe that Chinese can also run fast.I do not think I am a hero.I am just a step-stone,like my coach Yuan,a step-stone to pave the way for more youngsters to push the speed limit for China." 32.What does the second paragraph imply? A.Su Bingtian has a gift for sprinting. B.Su Bingtian achieved success through hard work. C.Su Bingtian seems not be talented in sprinting in his youth. D.Su Bingtian ran the fastest in the world. 33.What is likely the most important factor in Su's success? A.His competitive spirit B.His family support C.His training strategy D.His experience 34.Which of the following best describes Su Bingtian? A.Determined and modest B.Ambitious and honest C.Competitive and desperate D.Popular and tough 35.Why does Su call himself as"step-stone"? A.He hopes to inspire other young sprinters.B.He is not ready to be a champion. C.He feels regretful for the speed. D.He enjoys training and competing. E The Magic of Memory Have you ever wondered how you can remember your best friend's birthday but fo rget where you put your keys just five minutes ago?Memory is a fascinating and nec essary part of our lives,but it doesn't always work perfectly.Scientists say that mem ory is more like a web than a storage box.When we learn something new,our brain doesn't just put it in one place.Instead,it connects the new information to things we alr eady know,creating a network of links. There are mainly two types of memoty:short-term and long-term.S Short-term m emory holds small amounts of information for a brief period,like a phone number yo u repeat to yourself before dialing.Long-term memory,however,can store vast amounts of information for a long time,even a lifetime.So,how does a memory become long-term?Practice and repetition are key.When you review information multiple times,the connections in your brain become stronger,making it easier to recall later. Sleep also plays a vital role in memory.During sleep,especially deep sleep,your brain is busy organizing the day's memories,strengthening the important ones and discarding the less useful ones.That's why a good night's sleep is the best preparation for a test,.better than stay-ing up late to cram(死记硬背). Understanding how memory works can help us learn more effectively.Instead of passively read-ing,try to connect new knowledge to your own experiences or explain it to someone else.These act-ive strategies make the memory web richer and stronger. 36.What is the main idea of the passage? A.The differences between short-term and long-term memory. B.The importance of sleep for brain development. C.The working principle of memory and how to improve it. D.Why we often forget small things in daily life. 37.Aecording to the passage,how is memory described?** A.A storage box holding different items. B.A web that connects information. C.A machine that never makes mistakes. D.A camera recording everything. 38.What is the key to transferring a memory from short-term to long-term? A.Eating healthy food. B.Practice and repetition. C.Having a high IQ. D.Writing things down. 39.Why is sleep important for memory? A.It allows the brain to rest completely and stop working. B.It helps the brain to organize and strengthen important memories.. C.It makes us forget all the information from the day. D.It is the only time when new memories can be formed. 40.Which learning strategy is suggested in the passage?** A.Reading passively for many hours. B.Focusing only on difficult knowledge. C.Connecting new knowledge to personal experienees. D.Avoiding discussing with others. 5 完形填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） A Good Friend of Mine I have a good friend.His name is Tom.We are in the same class and we sit next to ea ch other.Tom is a very kind and helpful (41).
