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 with 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 better understanding of Australian culture.
B. A good knowledge of what we learn at school.
C. A wonderful way to communicate with famous teachers.
D. A precious chance to make friends from different countries.
2. Who is most likely 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. What should students pay attention to when applying for the Summer Study Programme?
A. The programme requires a full academic year.
B. Students must volunteer as part of the programme.
C. The programme is only available to students ready for university.
D. Australia’s winter occurs during the northern hemisphere’s summer.
【答案】1. A 2. B 3. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍澳大利亚适合高中生的三类项目:高中交换、青少年旅行团及夏季学习项目的内容与特点。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据High School Exchange部分“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. (学习英语学生通过与新朋友和寄宿家庭交流,语言能力会得到提升,而那些已经熟悉英语的学生则可以利用这个机会更多地了解澳大利亚的日常生活。)”可知,高中交换项目能让学生更了解澳大利亚文化(日常生活是文化的一部分)。故选A。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Youth Travel Tours部分“Tours are usually for different themes such as cooking, adventure travel, or volunteerism. (旅行团通常有不同主题,如烹饪、探险旅行或志愿服务。)”可知,对烹饪感兴趣的人最有可能选择该项目。故选B。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Summer Study Programme部分“Just keep in mind, the summer of the northern hemisphere (半球) is actually the winter of Australia. (请记住,北半球的夏天实际上是澳大利亚的冬天。)”可知,申请该项目时,学生需注意澳大利亚的冬天对应北半球的夏天。故选D。
B
I teach at a university. One of the “problems” is that as the years pass, I get older, but my students remain the same age — 18 to 22. Early on, when I was in my 20s and 30s, this wasn’t an issue, as we were close enough in age to speak the same language. But lately I have become well aware that a language ship seems to have sailed, and I am not on board.
Let me make it clear by using an example: Recently, when I walked into my class, my students were chatting happily with each other. One of their comments caught my ear: “Venmo it to me.” I had no idea what “Venmo” meant, so I asked. The good-natured students were happy to explain it to me, and in return I nodded with an embarrassed expression, as if I should have known better.
I went home that evening, absorbed in that moment of incomprehension (不理解). I am not against change, but I am uncomfortable with change when its pace has me hanging on by my fingernails. If I were to awake from a five-year nap, I’d have no idea what people were talking about. I just wouldn’t understand the language.
Their willingness to explain their words to me is a great comfort, and I congratulate myself on at least having interest in what they’re talking about, as well as on my ability — for the most part — to understand their explanations.
But what will happen if my interest wanes and the language ship finally disappears over the horizon?
4. What did the author probably meet with?
A. Hearing loss. B. Culture shock. C. A language barrier. D. A teaching problem.
5. What makes the author fall behind in language?
A. Learning needs. B. Teaching tasks. C. Age difference. D. Language abuse.
6. What does the author think of language change?
A. It is completely avoidable. B. It is really small.
C. It is very beneficial. D. It is much too dramatic.
7. What does the underlined word “wanes” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Reduces. B. Grows. C. Happens. D. Focuses.
【答案】4. C 5. C 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者作为大学教师,因年龄增长,与18至22岁学生出现语言障碍,感慨语言变化快,担忧自身兴趣减退后的情况。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“But lately I have become well aware that a language ship seems to have sailed, and I am not on board. (但最近我清楚地意识到,一艘“语言之船”似乎已经启航,而我却没有上船)”及第二段“I had no idea what “Venmo” meant, so I asked.(我不知道Venmo是什么意思,于是就问了)”可知,作者因不懂学生使用的词汇,面临语言沟通上的障碍。故选C项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“One of the “problems” is that as the years pass, I get older, but my students remain the same age — 18 to 22. Early on, when I was in my 20s and 30s, this wasn’t an issue, as we were close enough in age to speak the same language. But lately I have become well aware that a language ship seems to have sailed, and I am not on board.(其中一个“问题”是,随着时间的推移,我变老了,但我的学生仍然是18到22岁。早期,当我二三十岁的时候,这不是一个问题,因为我们的年龄足够接近,可以说同样的语言。但最近我清楚地意识到,一艘语言之船似乎已经启航,而我不在船上)”可知,作者年轻时与学生年龄相近无语言问题,如今因年龄差距变大,逐渐跟不上学生的语言。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“I am not against change, but I am uncomfortable with change when its pace has me hanging on by my fingernails. If I were to awake from a five-year nap, I’d have no idea what people were talking about. (我并不反对变化,但当变化的速度快到让我勉力支撑时,我会感到不适。如果我昏睡五年后醒来,我会完全不知道人们在说什么)”可知,作者认为语言变化的速度过快、过于剧烈,让自己难以跟上。故选D项。
【7题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“Their willingness to explain their words to me is a great comfort, and I congratulate myself on at least having interest in what they’re talking about, as well as on my ability — for the most part — to understand their explanations.(他们愿意向我解释他们的话是一种极大的安慰,我庆幸自己至少对他们所说的内容感兴趣,以及我在很大程度上理解他们解释的能力)”及最后一段“But what will happen if my interest wanes and the language ship finally disappears over the horizon? (但如果我的兴趣wanes,而那艘“语言之船”最终消失在视野中,会发生什么呢?)”可知,句中的But表转折,此处与前文“有兴趣”形成对比,推测此处表示兴趣减少,划线单词表示“减少”,与Reduces意义相近。故选A项。
C
You forget to bring your water bottle to the airport, so you buy a plastic one and keep refilling it. Or you order takeout for dinner and save the black plastic container to pack your lunch the next day. Reuse is one of the core rules of sustainability. But should you be reusing these single-use plastics? Experts say no.
Single-use plastics leach (滤出) chemicals and shed (释放) microplastics into your environment. Though studies have not directly compared single-use and reusable plastic, experts say they are more concerned about single-use plastics because of how they’re made. A single-use plastic water bottle sheds micro and nano plastics into your water when you refill it, and a takeout container or frozen meal tray sheds these particles into your food. Chemical exposure increases if plastic is heated, typically in a microwave, a dishwasher or even by placing hot food in a takeout container. When heat is applied, molecules move faster, meaning it could be easier for some of these particles to make its way into your food.
Concerns with chemicals and microplastics primarily apply to food, experts said, because you are swallowing them. Reusing single-use plastics like grocery bags is not a major concern, they added. The most important thing you should do is avoid heating your plastic, experts agreed. “A pretty hard-and-fast rule is to never microwave plastic,” Enck said. “And there’s also a recommendation not to put plastic into the dishwasher if it’s on a hot cycle.”
8. Why does the author list examples in the first paragraph?
A. To lead into the topic. B. To analyse the reason.
C. To prove the experts’ opinion. D. To introduce the background information.
9. What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A. Plastic bottles of good quality are encouraged for use.
B. It is the chemicals in the materials that cause trouble.
C. High temperature makes little difference to takeout food.
D. Reusable plastic is more dangerous than single-use plastic.
10. According to the passage, which of the following harms human health most?
A. Heating fast food in a glass bowl. B. Filling the grocery bag with meat.
C. Packing cold drink with single-use plastics. D. Eating hot soup contained in a single-use plastic bag.
11. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Stop Using Single-use Plastics B. Reusing Single-use Plastics Is Harmful
C. How to Correctly Use Single-use Plastics D. The Astonishing Fact of Single-use Plastics
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了重复使用一次性塑料有害,因其会滤出化学物质和微塑料,加热会加剧危害,还给出避免加热塑料等建议。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“You forget to bring your water bottle to the airport, so you buy a plastic one and keep refilling it. Or you order takeout for dinner and save the black plastic container to pack your lunch the next day. Reuse is one of the core rules of sustainability. But should you be reusing these single-use plastics? Experts say no. (你去机场时忘了带水壶,于是买了一个塑料水壶,然后一直用它装水。或者你点了外卖当晚餐,然后把黑色塑料餐盒留到第二天装午餐。重复使用是可持续发展的核心原则之一。但你应该重复使用这些一次性塑料吗?专家们表示不应该)”可知,作者先列举重复使用一次性塑料的日常例子,再通过转折提出核心问题,目的是引出“一次性塑料不宜重复使用”的主题。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Single-use plastics leach (滤出) chemicals and shed (释放) microplastics into your environment. (一次性塑料会滤出化学物质,并向周围环境释放微塑料)”及“A single-use plastic water bottle sheds micro and nano plastics into your water when you refill it, and a takeout container or frozen meal tray sheds these particles into your food. (当你给一次性塑料水瓶加水时,它会向水中释放微塑料和纳米塑料;外卖餐盒或冷冻食品托盘则会向食物中释放这些颗粒)”可知,一次性塑料的问题源于其释放的化学物质和塑料颗粒,即材料中的化学物质引发了危害。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Chemical exposure increases if pastic is heated, typically in a microwave, a dishwasher or even by placing hot food in a takeout container. (如果塑料被加热,通常是在微波炉、洗碗机中,甚至是将热食物放入外卖餐盒中,化学物质的接触量会增加)”及第三段“Concerns with chemicals and microplastics primarily apply to food, experts said, because you are swallowing them. (专家表示,对化学物质和微塑料的担忧主要集中在食物方面,因为你会吞下它们)”可知,接触热的食物且通过饮食摄入时,危害最大,“用一次性塑料袋装热汤喝”符合“热食+一次性塑料+吞咽摄入”的高风险条件。故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“But should you be reusing these single-use plastics? Experts say no. (但你应该重复使用这些一次性塑料吗?专家们表示不应该)”、第二段“Single-use plastics leach (滤出) chemicals and shed (释放) microplastics into your environment. (一次性塑料会滤出化学物质,并向周围环境释放微塑料)”及第三段“Concerns with chemicals and microplastics primarily apply to food, experts said, because you are swallowing them. (专家说,对化学物质和微塑料的担忧主要适用于食物,因为你正在吞咽它们)”可知,文章围绕“重复使用一次性塑料有害”展开,分析危害并给出建议,所以“重复使用一次性塑料有害”适合作为文章标题。故选B项。
D
People often describe those who are more creative as being “right-brained”, and those who are more logical as “left-brained”. This became a very popular idea about how the brain works. But it isn’t really true.
The theory about left and right brains emerged in the 1950s. Roger Sperry, a neuroscientist at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, got curious about how the two sides of the brain interacted. Through many “split-brain” experiments, he found that the ability to use language is based on the left half. Sperry’s research changed how we thought our brain worked. But the idea of right-versus-left brain skills also caught people’s imaginations. An article based on Sperry’s work claimed that skills such as musical ability were controlled entirely by the right brain. In this way, important research gave way to assumption. In fact, this early research had one huge limitation: Scientists back then could not look inside a living brain.
Now, researchers have several tools that can image the working brain. One is magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI. It can track blood flow in the brain. Active brain cells need lots of oxygen, which is carried by blood. So high levels of blood flow are used to locate regions where the brain is active. In 2013, researchers used MRI to scan the brains of more than 1,000 kids and young adults. They measured whether some brain functions seemed isolated to the left or right sides. And a few functions were tied more strongly to one side, these scans showed. But most brain networks bounced between both halves.
“That disproved the idea that only the right half is at work when you perform music or create art. Activity is very, very distributed because both sides of the brain have a lot to offer,” says Diana Sarko, a researcher at Southern Illinois University.
12. What can we infer about Sperry’s “split-brain” research?
A. It barely influenced our views on how the brain worked.
B. It found the two halves of the brain are closely connected.
C. It clarified the concept of the left and right half of the brain.
D. It was groundbreaking but led to an oversimplified popular belief.
13. What is key to the advances in the modern brain research?
A. Technological progress. B. People’s imaginations.
C. Scientific research methods. D. A broader range of subjects.
14. What is Diana Sarko’s attitude towards Sperry’s “split-brain” research?
A. Neutral. B. Negative. C. Tolerant. D. Supportive.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. We Human Beings are Born with a “Split-brain”
B. “Right-brained” or “Left-brained”? Think Again!
C. Right-versus-left Brain Skills Shape Your Identity
D. Do You Have a Creative Brain or a Logical Brain?
【答案】12 D 13. A 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出“创意属右脑、逻辑属左脑”的流行说法不实,介绍斯佩里早期分脑研究及局限,借现代MRI研究说明大脑活动多需左右脑协同。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Sperry’s research changed how we thought our brain worked. But the idea of right-versus-left brain skills also caught people’s imaginations. An article based on Sperry’s work claimed that skills such as musical ability were controlled entirely by the right brain. In this way, important research gave way to assumption. (斯佩里的研究改变了我们对大脑运作方式的认知。但“左右脑技能对立”的观点也引发了人们的想象。一篇基于斯佩里研究的文章声称,音乐能力等技能完全由右脑控制。就这样,重要的研究被臆断所取代。)”可知,斯佩里的研究具有开创性(改变了人们对大脑的认知),但也导致了“左右脑分工绝对化”这一过于简化的流行观点。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Now, researchers have several tools that can image the working brain. One is magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI. It can track blood flow in the brain. Active brain cells need lots of oxygen, which is carried by blood. So high levels of blood flow are used to locate regions where the brain is active. In 2013, researchers used MRI to scan the brains of more than 1,000 kids and young adults. (如今,研究人员拥有多种能够对工作状态下的大脑进行成像的工具。磁共振成像(简称 MRI)便是其中之一,它可以追踪大脑内的血液流动。处于活跃状态的脑细胞需要大量氧气,而氧气由血液输送。因此,研究人员会通过高血流量来定位大脑的活跃区域。2013年,研究人员曾利用MRI对1000多名儿童和年轻人的大脑进行了扫描。)”可知,现代大脑研究取得进展的关键是“能对大脑成像的技术工具(如 MRI)”,即技术进步。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段黛安娜・萨科的话“That disproved the idea that only the right half is at work when you perform music or create art. Activity is very, very distributed because both sides of the brain have a lot to offer. (这反驳了“当你演奏音乐或创作艺术时,只有右脑在工作”的观点。大脑活动分布非常广泛,因为左右脑都能发挥很大作用。)”可知,她仅基于现代MRI研究结果,反驳了由斯佩里研究衍生出的“左右脑分工绝对化”的观点,即对斯佩里的这项研究持否定态度。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文特别是第一段“People often describe those who are more creative as being “right-brained”, and those who are more logical as “left-brained”. This became a very popular idea about how the brain works. But it isn’t really true.(人们常将更具创造力的人描述为 “右脑型”,将更擅长逻辑思考的人称为“左脑型”。这种关于大脑运作方式的说法曾十分流行,但实际上并非如此。)”可知,文章开篇即指出“创意属右脑、逻辑属左脑”的流行说法不实,接着介绍斯佩里早期分脑研究及由此衍生的错误观点,再通过现代MRI研究证明大脑活动多需左右脑协同,最后引用专家观点进一步反驳错误说法。核心是“打破“左右脑分工绝对化”的流行认知”。所以B项“Right-brained” or “Left-brained”? Think Again!(“右脑型”还是“左脑型”?再想想!”)既点出核心议题,又暗含“原有观点有误,需重新认识”的意味,符合主旨。故选B项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分,满分12. 5分)

As a high school student, you’re likely used to learning through reading textbooks. ___16___ This lies at the heart of “experiential appreciation”, a philosophy that encourages you to engage directly with the world around you. It’s about learning from real-life experiences, and discovering a more profound and engaging way to learn.
To practice experiential appreciation, you can start by getting involved in hands-on activities related to your subjects. They will provide a firsthand understanding of the concepts you’re studying, making learning active and meaningful. So, try joining a sports team, picking up a paintbrush, or taking part in a local charity event. ___17___
As you dive deeper, immerse yourself fully in the surroundings and activities. When you’re in nature, don’t just look around. ___18___ Touching the leaves, feeling the wind and listening to the birds can enrich your learning and make each moment more memorable.
___19___ After trying something new, ask yourself what you learned and how it made you feel. Write in a journal or discuss it with friends. This self-discovery turns experiences into life lessons and offers a deeper understanding of the world.
Experiential appreciation transforms learning from a task to be completed into a journey to be treasured. ___20___ So, explore the world around you, let every experience shape you, and discover the endless possibilities that await. This is the core of true learning, where every moment is a step towards a richer, more enlightened life.
A. It extends learning far beyond textbooks.
B. Now consider expanding your learning from just reading to actively participating.
C. Instead, activate your senses for a stronger tie with it.
D. Mind the impact of your actions on the environment.

“What’s it like to have a gap between your teeth?” a girl asked me one day.
Nobody had ever ____21____ before. My hand unconsciously rose to cover my mouth. But, as she looked at me, sincerely waiting for a (n) ____22____, I realized she was not trying to be rude. “I never think about it,” I truthfully replied. She nodded and turned away. I was left wondering if people ____23____ me and saw only gappy teeth.
Later that day at home, I began to ____24____ my teeth again. I felt ____25____. I thought my life would be somehow better if my teeth were not gappy. How I wanted the perfect teeth that everyone else seemed to have!

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍是中国传统节日重阳节的起源、习俗和文化意义。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:重阳节,又称重阳节,是中国的传统节日,在农历九月初九。此处为定语从句的谓语动词,根据主句中的谓语动词is以及下文句子的谓语动词has可知,此处应使用一般现在时,主语that指代的先行词festival为第三人称单数,所以谓语动词为falls。故填falls。
【37题详解】
考查动词语态。句意:它有着悠久的历史,深深植根于中国文化。此处为固定短语be rooted in意为“植根于”符合句意,所以此处使用root的过去分词形式。故填rooted。
【38题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:因此,登高就成为重阳节的传统活动之一。此处为名词作宾语,根据“one of+名词复数”意为“……之一”可知,此处应为名词复数形式。故填activities。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:人们会摘下山茱萸的树枝,把它们挂在衣服上,人们认为这有驱邪的作用。此处为关系词引导的非限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,且先行词指的是主句的内容,所以此处使用关系代词which。故填which。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意:此外,喝菊花酒也是节日期间的一项流行活动。此处为形容词作定语,popularity的形容词为popular意为“流行的”符合句意。故填popular。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意:人们会喝这种酒,祝愿幸福长寿。此处为固定短语wish for意为“希望得到某物”符合句意,所以此处使用介词for。故填for。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:如今,它也是一个尊重和关心老人的节日。the elderly意为“老人”,“the+形容词”表示“一类人或物”。故填the。
【43题详解】
考查连词。句意:人们会拜访他们,给他们送礼物,表达对他们的爱。结合句意,该句中visit them、send them gifts以及空后的express their love for them为并列关系,所以此处使用并列连词and。故填and。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这反映了中国文化中尊老的重要性。此处为非谓语动词作宾语,介词of后应为动名词形式作宾语。故填respecting。
【45题详解】
考查动词语态。句意:总之,重阳节是中国传统文化的重要组成部分,应该被传承和记住。结合句意,pass down与主语the Double Ninth Festival之间为被动关系,此空位于情态动词should之后,应为动词原形。故填be passed。

Yesterday, a firefighting drill was conducted in our school with all teachers and students involved to arouse our awareness of fire prevention techniques.
The drill started with an alarm, hearing which students quickly evacuated the classrooms orderly under the guidance of the teachers to the appointed place. The fire escape routes were clearly marked, and fire extinguishers were readily available throughout the school. So it was five minutes later that all the building were emptied and students and teachers gathered on the playground. Our principal announced the drill was performed better than scheduled.

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。
Finally, I had done it. I had really done it. I played the drama successfully in the school hall. But a few months earlier, I would never have imagined acting in a play in front of hundreds of people. But when the time came, I got up on stage and faced one of my greatest fears and discovered I could do more than I ever thought. I found a new person inside me, a much more daring, outgoing person who had been hidden all along, just waiting for the opportunity to appear.
Without my teacher, Mrs. Green, I might never have found that opportunity. In the first grade, I was extremely shy. I had friends, but it just wasn’t in my personality to be very outgoing, even when I knew someone well. I was afraid I would do or say something wrong, so usually I just smiled and listened to other people’s conversations. I did well in school and I loved to write. However, I would escape into my writing, where I could be myself and never had to worry about what other people thought of me. In fact I was never shy in my stories.
My teacher, Mrs. Green, always encouraged me to write more. She told our class to go after our dreams and dig in with both hands. I think she was the first person to see my inner strength. One day, she announced that our class was going to perform a play she had written. “I’ll begin to invite everyone tomorrow,” she said. “I need someone who is not afraid to be on stage in front of a lot of people to play the lead part of Dorothy. Anybody wants to try?” Many excited hands shot up, and mine, of course, was not one of them. Mrs. Green smiled. “We’ll talk more about it tomorrow,” she said. Then the bell rang and my classmates slowly left the classroom.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

When I was loading up my backpack, Mrs. Green invited me to her office.

Hearing Mrs. Green’s words, I realized that it was time to made a change.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
When I was loading up my backpack, Mrs. Green invited me to her office. Mrs. Green looked into my eyes as if seeing my inner self locked away inside. “I’d like to invite you to give it a try. But if you really don’t want to, I won’t force you. It is your choice.” The news that Mrs. Green wanted me in this role really shocked me. I was always a shy person, not even dare to speak loud in public. But was it always true for me?
Hearing Mrs. Green’s words, I realized that it was time to make a change. I decided to do something different. I wanted to prove that I also could do something good in public. After seconds of hesitation, I said, “Mrs. Green, I want to play the role. And I will try my best to perform it well. ” Looking at me with a big smile on face, Mrs. Green said, “I’m convinced that you can make it. Don’t hesitate to turn to me if you encounter any difficulties.” I nodded my head and left her office happily.

A
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 with 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 better understanding of Australian culture.
B. A good knowledge of what we learn at school.
C. A wonderful way to communicate with famous teachers.
D. A precious chance to make friends from different countries.
2. Who is most likely 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. What should students pay attention to when applying for the Summer Study Programme?
A. The programme requires a full academic year.
B. Students must volunteer as part of the programme.
C. The programme is only available to students ready for university.
D. Australia’s winter occurs during the northern hemisphere’s summer.
B
I teach at a university. One of the “problems” is that as the years pass, I get older, but my students remain the same age — 18 to 22. Early on, when I was in my 20s and 30s, this wasn’t an issue, as we were close enough in age to speak the same language. But lately I have become well aware that a language ship seems to have sailed, and I am not on board.
Let me make it clear by using an example: Recently, when I walked into my class, my students were chatting happily with each other. One of their comments caught my ear: “Venmo it to me.” I had no idea what “Venmo” meant, so I asked. The good-natured students were happy to explain it to me, and in return I nodded with an embarrassed expression, as if I should have known better.
I went home that evening, absorbed in that moment of incomprehension (不理解). I am not against change, but I am uncomfortable with change when its pace has me hanging on by my fingernails. If I were to awake from a five-year nap, I’d have no idea what people were talking about. I just wouldn’t understand the language.
Their willingness to explain their words to me is a great comfort and I congratulate myself on at least having interest in what they’re talking about, as well as on my ability — for the most part — to understand their explanations.
But what will happen if my interest wanes and the language ship finally disappears over the horizon?
4. What did the author probably meet with?
A. Hearing loss. B. Culture shock. C. A language barrier. D. A teaching problem.
5. What makes the author fall behind in language?
A. Learning needs. B. Teaching tasks. C. Age difference. D. Language abuse.
6. What does the author think of language change?
A. It is completely avoidable. B. It is really small.
C. It is very beneficial. D. It is much too dramatic.
7. What does the underlined word “wanes” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Reduces. B. Grows. C. Happens. D. Focuses.
C
You forget to bring your water bottle to the airport, so you buy a plastic one and keep refilling it. Or you order takeout for dinner and save the black plastic container to pack your lunch the next day. Reuse is one of the core rules of sustainability. But should you be reusing these single-use plastics? Experts say no.
Single-use plastics leach (滤出) chemicals and shed (释放) microplastics into your environment. Though studies have not directly compared single-use and reusable plastic, experts say they are more concerned about single-use plastics because of how they’re made. A single-use plastic water bottle sheds micro and nano plastics into your water when you refill it, and a takeout container or frozen meal tray sheds these particles into your food. Chemical exposure increases if plastic is heated, typically in a microwave, a dishwasher or even by placing hot food in a takeout container. When heat is applied, molecules move faster, meaning it could be easier for some of these particles to make its way into your food.
Concerns with chemicals and microplastics primarily apply to food, experts said, because you are swallowing them. Reusing single-use plastics like grocery bags is not a major concern, they added. The most important thing you should do is avoid heating your plastic, experts agreed. “A pretty hard-and-fast rule is to never microwave plastic,” Enck said. “And there’s also a recommendation not to put plastic into the dishwasher if it’s on a hot cycle.”
8. Why does the author list examples in the first paragraph?
A. To lead into the topic. B. To analyse the reason.
C. To prove the experts’ opinion. D. To introduce the background information.
9. What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A. Plastic bottles of good quality are encouraged for use.
B. It is the chemicals in the materials that cause trouble.
C. High temperature makes little difference to takeout food.
D. Reusable plastic is more dangerous than single-use plastic.
10. According to the passage, which of the following harms human health most?
A. Heating fast food in a glass bowl. B. Filling the grocery bag with meat.
C. Packing cold drink with single-use plastics. D. Eating hot soup contained in a single-use plastic bag.
11. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Stop Using Single-use Plastics B. Reusing Single-use Plastics Is Harmful
C. How to Correctly Use Single-use Plastics D. The Astonishing Fact of Single-use Plastics
D
People often describe those who are more creative as being “right-brained”, and those who are more logical as “left-brained”. This became a very popular idea about how the brain works. But it isn’t really true.
The theory about left and right brains emerged in the 1950s. Roger Sperry, a neuroscientist at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, got curious about how the two sides of the brain interacted. Through many “split-brain” experiments, he found that the ability to use language is based on the left half. Sperry’s research changed how we thought our brain worked. But the idea of right-versus-left brain skills also caught people’s imaginations. An article based on Sperry’s work claimed that skills such as musical ability were controlled entirely by the right brain. In this way, important research gave way to assumption. In fact, this early research had one huge limitation: Scientists back then could not look inside a living brain.
Now, researchers have several tools that can image the working brain. One is magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI. It can track blood flow in the brain. Active brain cells need lots of oxygen, which is carried by blood. So high levels of blood flow are used to locate regions where the brain is active. In 2013, researchers used MRI to scan the brains of more than 1,000 kids and young adults. They measured whether some brain functions seemed isolated to the left or right sides. And a few functions were tied more strongly to one side, these scans showed. But most brain networks bounced between both halves.
“That disproved the idea that only the right half is at work when you perform music or create art. Activity is very, very distributed because both sides of the brain have a lot to offer,” says Diana Sarko, a researcher at Southern Illinois University.

A. It barely influenced our views on how the brain worked.

C. It clarified the concept of the left and right half of the brain.
D. It was groundbreaking but led to an oversimplified popular belief.
13. What is key to the advances in the modern brain research?

Finally, I had done it. I had really done it. I played the drama successfully in the school hall. But a few months earlier, I would never have imagined acting in a play in front of hundreds of people. But when the time came, I got up on stage and faced one of my greatest fears and discovered I could do more than I ever thought. I found a new person inside me, a much more daring, outgoing person who had been hidden all along, just waiting for the opportunity to appear.
Without my teacher, Mrs. Green, I might never have found that opportunity. In the first grade, I was extremely shy. I had friends, but it just wasn’t in my personality to be very outgoing, even when I knew someone well. I was afraid I would do or say something wrong, so usually I just smiled and listened to other people’s conversations. I did well in school and I loved to write. However, I would escape into my writing, where I could be myself and never had to worry about what other people thought of me. In fact I was never shy in my stories.
My teacher, Mrs. Green, always encouraged me to write more. She told our class to go after our dreams and dig in with both hands. I think she was the first person to see my inner strength. One day, she announced that our class was going to perform a play she had written. “I’ll begin to invite everyone tomorrow,” she said. “I need someone who is not afraid to be on stage in front of a lot of people to play the lead part of Dorothy. Anybody wants to try?” Many excited hands shot up, and mine, of course, was not one of them. Mrs. Green smiled. “We’ll talk more about it tomorrow,” she said. Then the bell rang and my classmates slowly left the classroom.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When I was loading up my backpack, Mrs. Green invited me to her office.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hearing Mrs. Green’s words, I realized that it was time to made a change.
