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.

Gold Coast family holidays are always great fun whether you are from Australia or from abroad. There are beautiful beaches, adventure parks, nature parks and so much more.
There are so many sights to see here. It is a pity to drive in a car and you'll miss a great part of it. Australia is home to many animals and birds that can only be seen when moving slowly and going into the areas that they live.
When you are on a bicycle, you have the advantage of being able to stop whenever you want to see an interesting animal or bird that you have never seen before. It is a quieter mode(方式) of transportation as well, so you might even be able to take a picture. When you are on the beach, you can breathe that clean air and view the beauty of the water and sand. It is a totally different experience from either simply sunbathing or passing it in a car.
There are many choices of hiring a bicycle to experience the Gold Coast attractions. There are stores that will fit a bike perfectly to your size. These bikes for both adults and children are in many styles and colors to please any taste. If you have ever wanted to try a tandem bike (双人单车), now is your chance, because they have those too.

Every four years, more than ten thousand athletes from all over the world compete in the Summer Olympics. The two-week Summer Olympics is the biggest sporting event in the world, beating out even soccer’s World Cup.
The early Olympic Games, however, were not the worldwide sports that the Summer Olympics are today. The modern Olympics were started in 1896 by Baron Pierre de Coubertain, a French educator. The first Games, in Athens, saw just 300 male athletes from 14 countries. Women’s participation (参与) was non-existent then, but the 2012 Games made history with female competitors from every nation.
International participation was also limited by transportation in the early Games. The first Olympics held in the United States were in St. Louis in 1904. Getting to St. Louis from Europe in 1904 required a trans-Atlantic boat trip and a 1000-mile train ride as there were no airlines back then.
Furthermore, some of the early competitors were not the highly-trained professional athletes. For example, Betty Robinson, a sixteen-year-old high school student from Illinois, won the gold medal in the 100-meter dash in 1924. The Olympics in Amsterdam were only Robinson’s fourth track meet after her sprinting (短跑) ability had been discovered by a teacher who saw her running after a school bus..
Throughout the history of the Games, new sports have been added while others have been dropped. Men’s basketball joined in 1936, and recent additions include surfing, skateboarding, and sport climbing. The 2020 Games introduced three-on-three basketball, while 2024 in France featured break dancing. The 2028 Los Angeles Games will add six more sports to the medal events: baseball, softball, cricket, flag football, lacrosse, and squash. The Summer Olympics continues to grow, adapt, and excite with the future of the Games always promising new surprises.
8. What can we learn about the first Olympic Games compared to today’s Olympics?
A. They allowed women to participate. B. They attracted more international athletes.
C They were much smaller in size. D. They required athletes to be highly-professional.
9. What challenges did international athletes face in the 1904 Olympics according to the text?
A. Limited transportation options. B. Regular travel distances.
C. Lack of training equipment. D. Competitive pressure.
10. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Betty Robinson?
A. To show professional athletes’ advantages. B. To show the importance of travel for athletes.
C. To show the necessity of hard training. D. To show unprofessional participation in carly Olympics.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Old sports out, new ones in. B. The future of men’s basketball.
C. The development of track and field rules. D. The unchanging nature of Olympic sports events.
D
People are already paying more and more for food due to global warming — and rising temperatures will drive food prices a lot higher in the next decade. According to a study by the European Central Bank, by 2035, higher temperatures alone will be pushing up worldwide food prices by between 0.9% and 3.2% every single year.
To find out how this is affecting food prices Maximilian Kotz at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and his colleagues examined data on the monthly prices and weather conditions in 121 countries between 1996 and 2021. By looking for connections between food prices and factors such as the average monthly temperature, temperature changes, and measures of drought and extreme rainfall, they found a strong link between the average temperature and the food prices a month or so later.
In regions north of 40 degrees, like the latitude (纬度) of New York City and Beijing, warmer-than-average temperatures during winter led to falling food prices. But above-average temperatures increased food prices in summer and at all times in the rest of the world.
“The study didn’t look at why prices rose, but the likely explanation is that extreme heat is reducing yields,’’ Kotz says. “Crops may be drying out on the vine (藤) when they should be being harvested.’’ Factors such as extreme rainfall had less impact on food prices than average temperatures. This may be because flooding tends to be localized, while above-average temperatures can be very widespread.
Other studies have reached similar conclusions. Kotz’s team then went further by investigating how food prices could change based on average temperature rises in climate model prediction. In the worst situation, global food inflation (食品通胀) due to climate change goes over 4% per year by 2060. “We need to be aware of the fact that climate change brings huge new challenges for food security,’’ says Kotz. “Warming-fueled extreme weather is increasingly affecting food production around the world. If farmers don’t adapt their practices to better cope with rising temperatures, the losses will become more serious.’’
12. What does the study focus on?
A. The influence of climate change on food prices.
B. The factors in the rising living costs.
C. The effects of natural disasters on food production.
D. The comparison of food prices in different regions.
13. How did researchers reach their conclusions?
A. By analyzing a mass of data.
B. By referring to previous studies.
C. By tracking some cities for years.
D. By conducting a survey among farmers.
14. What is the main reason for the rising food prices according to Kotz?
A. Frequent rainfall. B. Extreme high temperature.
C. The increasing demand for crops. D. The influence of trade policies.
15. What does the author want to do in the last paragraph?
A. To call on people to pay attention to food security.
B. To predict the loss caused by the heat wave.
C. To explain the situation of global food inflation.
D. To advise farmers to take actions to deal with the climate issue.

It was our first time exploring a foreign country on our own, without a tour guide leading the way. My friend Doris and I had a week-long tour there and believed we could explore this town alone then. After breakfast, we confidently started the trip. After a full day of exciting exploration, the sky turned from clear blue to gray, with dark clouds gathering.
As we walked along the ancient street to our hotel, raindrops began falling. Everyone around us took cover. “Should we take a taxi?” I asked aloud, the rain being so loud that I had to raise my voice. “It’s only a ten-minute walk, and let’s go much faster,” Doris shouted back.
As the rain and wind increased, we quickened our pace. The ancient street was soon covered with deep water that quickly made our shoes totally wet. Suddenly, the big thunder sounded! Dusk had turned into total darkness, which was only interrupted by the sudden lightning from the sky. Finally, we realized we had been walking for a much longer time than it should have taken us to reach the hotel. We had taken a wrong turn somewhere. We were lost! What’s worse, both of our cell phones were powered off, so we couldn’t call for help, and the street was empty.
Shocked, we headed back down the street, wishing to find the right direction. It was still raining cats and dogs. Our clothes and bags were completely wet. Later looking out into the darkness through the shrubs (灌木) along the street, we realized we had come to a residential neighborhood. “Let’s just wait for a minute,” Doris said.
As we stood under a tree, some headlights appeared. A car pulled up just about a few meters away by the street. Soon, a woman got out of the car. “I’ll ask her for directions,” I said to Doris. She agreed and whispered, “I hope she can speak English.”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then, I walked towards the woman with hope.

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“There are so many sights to see here. It is a pity to drive in a car and you’ll miss a great part of it.”可知,澳大利亚黄金海岸有许多景点,开车去的话,会错过许多的美景。因此你最好不要开车去,因为你不能很好的欣赏美丽的风景。故选C。
【5题详解】

【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“There are many choices of hiring a bicycle...These bikes for both adults and children are in many styles and colors...try a tandem bike”(租赁自行车有很多选择,成年人和孩子们的自行车有很多样式和颜色),因此推断本段主要介绍的是商店里自行车的种类,故选B。

Every four years, more than ten thousand athletes from all over the world compete in the Summer Olympics. The two-week Summer Olympics is the biggest sporting event in the world, beating out even soccer’s World Cup.
The early Olympic Games, however, were not the worldwide sports that the Summer Olympics are today. The modern Olympics were started in 1896 by Baron Pierre de Coubertain, a French educator. The first Games, in Athens, saw just 300 male athletes from 14 countries. Women’s participation (参与) was non-existent then, but the 2012 Games made history with female competitors from every nation.
International participation was also limited by transportation in the early Games. The first Olympics held in the United States were in St. Louis in 1904. Getting to St. Louis from Europe in 1904 required a trans-Atlantic boat trip and a 1000-mile train ride as there were no airlines back then.
Furthermore, some of the early competitors were not the highly-trained professional athletes. For example, Betty Robinson, a sixteen-year-old high school student from Illinois, won the gold medal in the 100-meter dash in 1924. The Olympics in Amsterdam were only Robinson’s fourth track meet after her sprinting (短跑) ability had been discovered by a teacher who saw her running after a school bus..
Throughout the history of the Games, new sports have been added while others have been dropped. Men’s basketball joined in 1936, and recent additions include surfing, skateboarding, and sport climbing. The 2020 Games introduced three-on-three basketball, while 2024 in France featured break dancing. The 2028 Los Angeles Games will add six more sports to the medal events: baseball, softball, cricket, flag football, lacrosse, and squash. The Summer Olympics continues to grow, adapt, and excite with the future of the Games always promising new surprises.
8. What can we learn about the first Olympic Games compared to today’s Olympics?
A. They allowed women to participate. B. They attracted more international athletes.
C. They were much smaller in size. D. They required athletes to be highly-professional.
9. What challenges did international athletes face in the 1904 Olympics according to the text?
A. Limited transportation options. B. Regular travel distances.
C. Lack of training equipment. D. Competitive pressure.
10. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Betty Robinson?
A. To show professional athletes’ advantages. B. To show the importance of travel for athletes.
C. To show the necessity of hard training. D. To show unprofessional participation in carly Olympics.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Old sports out, new ones in. B. The future of men’s basketball.
C. The development of track and field rules. D. The unchanging nature of Olympic sports events.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇关于夏季奥运会历史和发展的说明文。主要介绍了夏季奥运会的起源、早期发展、以及随时间演变的参赛情况、运动员背景和新增的比赛项目,以及未来奥运会的展望。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段内容“The early Olympic Games, however, were not the worldwide sports that the Summer Olympics are today.(然而,早期的奥林匹克运动会并不像今天的夏季奥林匹克运动会那样是全球性的运动)”和“The first Games, in Athens, saw just 300 male athletes from 14 countries.(在雅典举行的第一届奥运会上,只有来自14个国家的300名男性运动员参赛)”可推知,早期的奥运会并不像今天的夏季奥运会那样是全世界范围内的体育盛事,而是参加人数少,规模小。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段内容“The first Olympics held in the United States were in St. Louis in 1904. Getting to St. Louis from Europe in 1904 required a trans-Atlantic boat trip and a 1000-mile train ride as there were no airlines back then.(1904年,由于当时还没有航空公司,从欧洲到圣路易斯需要乘船穿越大西洋,再乘坐1000英里的火车)”可知,1904年的奥运会参赛选手参赛需要从欧洲前往圣路易斯乘坐跨越大西洋的船只,然后再乘坐1000英里的火车,因为那时还没有商业航空公司,也就说交通方式受限。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中关键句“Furthermore, some of the early competitors were not the highly-trained professional athletes.(此外,一些早期的竞争者并不是训练有素的专业运动员)”可推知,后面的例子“For example, Betty Robinson, a sixteen-year-old high school student from Illinois, won the gold medal in the 100-meter dash in 1924.(例如,贝蒂·罗宾逊,一个来自伊利诺伊州的16岁高中生,在1924年赢得了100米短跑金牌)”是为了说明最早的参赛者“并非受过高度训练的专业运动员”,而是非专业运动员。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段内容尤其是第一句话“Throughout the history of the Games, new sports have been added while others have been dropped.(在整个奥运会的历史上,新的运动项目被增加,而其他的运动项目被取消)”可知,本段的主要内容是“奥运会历史上的体育项目变迁:新增与淘汰的演变”。故选A。
D
People are already paying more and more for food due to global warming — and rising temperatures will drive food prices a lot higher in the next decade. According to a study by the European Central Bank, by 2035, higher temperatures alone will be pushing up worldwide food prices by between 0.9% and 3.2% every single year.
To find out how this is affecting food prices, Maximilian Kotz at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and his colleagues examined data on the monthly prices and weather conditions in 121 countries between 1996 and 2021. By looking for connections between food prices and factors such as the average monthly temperature, temperature changes, and measures of drought and extreme rainfall, they found a strong link between the average temperature and the food prices a month or so later.
In regions north of 40 degrees, like the latitude (纬度) of New York City and Beijing, warmer-than-average temperatures during winter led to falling food prices. But above-average temperatures increased food prices in summer and at all times in the rest of the world.
“The study didn’t look at why prices rose, but the likely explanation is that extreme heat is reducing yields,’’ Kotz says. “Crops may be drying out on the vine (藤) when they should be being harvested.’’ Factors such as extreme rainfall had less impact on food prices than average temperatures. This may be because flooding tends to be localized, while above-average temperatures can be very widespread.
Other studies have reached similar conclusions. Kotz’s team then went further by investigating how food prices could change based on average temperature rises in climate model prediction. In the worst situation, global food inflation (食品通胀) due to climate change goes over 4% per year by 2060. “We need to be aware of the fact that climate change brings huge new challenges for food security,’’ says Kotz. “Warming-fueled extreme weather is increasingly affecting food production around the world. If farmers don’t adapt their practices to better cope with rising temperatures, the losses will become more serious.’’
12. What does the study focus on?
A. The influence of climate change on food prices.
B. The factors in the rising living costs.
C. The effects of natural disasters on food production.
D. The comparison of food prices in different regions.
13. How did researchers reach their conclusions?
A. By analyzing a mass of data.
B. By referring to previous studies.
C By tracking some cities for years.
D. By conducting a survey among farmers.
14. What is the main reason for the rising food prices according to Kotz?
A. Frequent rainfall. B. Extreme high temperature.
C. The increasing demand for crops. D. The influence of trade policies.
15. What does the author want to do in the last paragraph?
A. To call on people to pay attention to food security.
B. To predict the loss caused by the heat wave.
C. To explain the situation of global food inflation.
D. To advise farmers to take actions to deal with the climate issue.
【答案】12. A 13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究表明由于全球变暖,全球粮食价格上升。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“According to a study by the European Central Bank, by 2035, higher temperatures alone will be pushing up worldwide food prices by between 0.9% and 3.2% every single year.(根据欧洲中央银行的一项研究,到2035年,仅高温一项就将使全球食品价格每年上涨0.9%至3.2%)”以及第二段“To find out how this is affecting food prices, Maximilian Kotz at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and his colleagues examined data on the monthly prices and weather conditions in 121 countries between 1996 and 2021.(为了弄清楚这是如何影响食品价格的,波茨坦气候影响研究所的马克西米利安·科茨和他的同事们研究了1996年至2021年间121个国家的月度价格和天气状况数据)”可知,欧洲央行的一项研究表明气温升高使得全球粮食价格上涨,科茨和他的同事进行的研究是为了了解气温升高如何影响食品价格,即研究的重点是气候变化对全球粮食价格的影响。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段 “To find out how this is affecting food prices, Maximilian Kotz at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and his colleagues examined data on the monthly prices and weather conditions in 121 countries between 1996 and 2021. By looking for connections between food prices and factors such as the average monthly temperature, temperature changes, and measures of drought and extreme rainfall, they found a strong link between the average temperature and the food prices a month or so later.(为了弄清楚这是如何影响食品价格的,波茨坦气候影响研究所的马克西米利安·科茨和他的同事们研究了1996年至2021年间121个国家的月度价格和天气状况数据。通过寻找食品价格与诸如月平均温度、温度变化、干旱和极端降雨等因素之间的联系,他们发现平均温度与一个月左右后的食品价格之间存在很强的联系)”可知,研究人员通过分析大量的月度价格和天气状况数据,寻找食品价格与月平均温度、温度变化以及干旱和极端降雨等因素之间的关联,从而得出研究结论。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段““The study didn’t look at why prices rose, but the likely explanation is that extreme heat is reducing yields,’’ Kotz says.(科茨说:“这项研究没有研究价格上涨的原因,但可能的解释是极端高温正在降低产量。”)”可知,科茨认为,食品价格上涨的主要原因是极端高温。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“We need to be aware of the fact that climate change brings huge new challenges for food security,’’ says Kotz. “Warming-fueled extreme weather is increasingly affecting food production around the world. If farmers don’t adapt their practices to better cope with rising temperatures, the losses will become more serious.’’(科茨说:“我们需要意识到,气候变化给粮食安全带来了巨大的新挑战。变暖引发的极端天气越来越多地影响着世界各地的粮食生产。如果农民不调整他们的做法来更好地应对气温上升,损失将变得更加严重。”)”可知,作者引用科茨所说的话,如果农民不调整他们的做法来更好地应对气温上升,损失将变得更加严重,由此可推知,作者在最后一段意在敦促农民采取行动应对气候问题。故选D项。

【答案】Dear Ms Li,
I am very happy to have you as our English teacher.
As the world is becoming a global village, English is getting more and more important, so mastering English means we can see the world through a new window.
My English is just OK and the two main problems in my study are that I feel it difficult to learn words by heart, and that I often feel nervous when speaking English. I really hope that you can give me good advice on how to memorize new words.
Thank you!
Yours,
Li Hua

47. 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 our first time exploring a foreign country on our own, without a tour guide leading the way. My friend Doris and I had a week-long tour there and believed we could explore this town alone then. After breakfast, we confidently started the trip. After a full day of exciting exploration, the sky turned from clear blue to gray, with dark clouds gathering.
As we walked along the ancient street to our hotel, raindrops began falling. Everyone around us took cover. “Should we take a taxi?” I asked aloud, the rain being so loud that I had to raise my voice. “It’s only a ten-minute walk, and let’s go much faster,” Doris shouted back.
As the rain and wind increased, we quickened our pace. The ancient street was soon covered with deep water that quickly made our shoes totally wet. Suddenly, the big thunder sounded! Dusk had turned into total darkness, which was only interrupted by the sudden lightning from the sky. Finally, we realized we had been walking for a much longer time than it should have taken us to reach the hotel. We had taken a wrong turn somewhere. We were lost! What’s worse, both of our cell phones were powered off, so we couldn’t call for help, and the street was empty.
Shocked, we headed back down the street, wishing to find the right direction. It was still raining cats and dogs. Our clothes and bags were completely wet. Later looking out into the darkness through the shrubs (灌木) along the street, we realized we had come to a residential neighborhood. “Let’s just wait for a minute,” Doris said.
As we stood under a tree, some headlights appeared. A car pulled up just about a few meters away by the street. Soon, a woman got out of the car. “I’ll ask her for directions,” I said to Doris. She agreed and whispered, “I hope she can speak English.”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;

Then, I walked towards the woman with hope.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Then I walked towards the woman with hope. When I was close to her, she turned back and was shocked to see me. I apologized and told her our problem. “Can you give us some directions? That is my friend,” I added, pointing to Doris, who was still under the tree. The woman managed a friendly nod and a gentle smile. She seemed to relax as she inspected us and asked where we were trying to go. And then she attempted to give us directions in understandable English
I found her explanation of directions only confused us, however hard she tried. Then the woman said, “Get in my car. I’ll take you back.” “That’s really nice of you, but we don’t want to get your seats wet,” we responded, pointing to our wet clothes and bags. But our rescuer insisted. We were so tired that we finally went inside. To our excitement, soon we reached our hotel. When we offered her fees, she just declined and wished us a good night. Waving goodbye to her, we saw her disappearing in the darkness. Although we were cold, our hearts were warm.
