I looked at my schedule.First period — German.Our German teacher was very friendly and I liked her from the beginning.What I didn’t like,though,was that I was surrounded by students from other grades,with only five familiar faces. Then I had to walk all the way across campus and up three flights of stairs to get to my second period — biology.Our teacher’s name is Ms.Compeau,and I think that she will teach us a lot this year because she is very to the point.She also has her unique way of saying “be quiet”;she says “alligator”.She explained that she is the king,or should I say queen,of the class because alligators are the “king of the swamps (沼泽)”. My third class was English.After surviving two periods without too much of a challenge,I began to feel good.However,the third period changed everything.Mr.V.,my English teacher,told us that we would have to write 40 essays (文章) and read AP-level books such as The Odyssey this year.I love reading and writing,but 40 ESSAYS?AP-level books?Now I was scared.He also talked about how important it was to be focused.Last year was not a very “focused” year for me.While doing homework,I was often talking on the phone,or busy with a conversation on Meta.I planned on stepping it up this year because I wanted to stay an honor student. 1.What did the author mainly write about in this passage? A.Her new teachers. B.Her plan for the new year. C.Her first day of senior high. D.Her schedule for Wednesday. 2.What should students do when Ms.Compeau says “alligator”? A.Sit still. B.Stop talking. C.Listen to the teacher. D.Look at the blackboard. 3.How did the author find her first two classes? A.Unattractive. B.Informative. C.Very tiring. D.Pretty easy. 4.Why did the author feel scared during the third period? A.Because she couldn’t focus on her work. B.Because she found the class demanding. C.Because she didn’t like the teacher. D.Because she did poorly at school. B It’s time to go back to high school.Students are excited about the new beginning.But for many kids,the first day is more about friends than classes,and maybe with good reason.On that day,the teacher takes attendance,hands out books,and describes the teaching plan.If a student hears the same things in seven classes,you can’t blame (责备) them for thinking it’s going to be another long year.When the high schoolers’ parents ask what they did in school,it’s pretty likely that the answer will be “Nothing”. It doesn’t have to be this way.Last January,Jessica Johnson and Charlotte Jenkins,two ninth-grade physics teachers,suggested a school-wide movement called Make My Day to improve the first day of classes,and many teachers have changed their plan for the first class of a new term because of this. One English teacher asks students to write 77 words about what they want to get out of her class.Then she reads their responses (回答) out loud.She keeps the responses until the last day of the school year when she hands them back to students so they can see if they achieved what they wanted.After encouraging kids with a year-long game,she begins the English course. On the first day of science,a teacher gives students 30 minutes to build something to improve people’s lives.A history teacher organizes a debate on whether Swiss cheese is better than cheddar.In math class,another teacher puts students in groups of three,and gives them six minutes to come up with as many answers as possible to the question,“What is math good for?” The new class activities are part of our school-wide movement to improve the first day of classes.Many teachers choose to use creative ways to encourage kids from day one.And all students seem to enjoy the changes.Quite a few parents told me that their kids said,“I think English (or math or biology or Spanish) is going to be great!” 5.Which best describes the class on the first day of school in paragraph 1? A.A bit strange. B.Too boring. C.Really wonderful. D.Quite challenging. 6.What is mentioned about Make My Day? A.It was a city-wide movement. B.It has been done for many years. C.It was an idea of two P.E.teachers. D.It was attended by the whole school. 7.What do the teachers in paragraph 4 have in common? A.All ask students to work in groups. B.All choose to do something exciting. C.All hold discussions on teaching plans. D.All try to improve students’ creativity. 8.What is the author’s attitude to the movement? A.She shows little interest in it. B.She feels surprised at it. C.She is worried about it. D.She supports it. C For decades,the homework standard has been a “10-minute” rule,which suggests a daily maximum of 10 minutes of homework per grade level. But some schools have begun to give their youngest students a break.A Massachusetts elementary school has announced a no-homework pilot (试点的) program for the coming school year,extending the school day by two hours to provide more in-class instruction.“We really want kids to go home at 4 o’clock,” Kelly Elementary School Principal Jackie Glasheen said.“We want them to enjoy their families.We want them to go to soccer practice or football practice.” New solutions to homework differ by communities.These local debates aren’t easily understood by the fact that even education experts disagree about what’s best for kids. The most all-round research on homework so far comes from an analysis (分析) by Duke University professor Harris Cooper,who found evidence (证据) of a positive relationship between homework and student achievement,meaning students who did homework performed better in school.Cooper’s analysis focused on how homework influences test scores.The relationship was stronger for older students—in 7th through 12th grade—than for those in younger grades,for whom there was a weak relationship between homework and performance. Although there is the weak relationship between homework and performance for young children,Cooper argues that a small amount of homework is useful for all students.Second-graders should not be doing two hours of homework each night,he said,but they also shouldn’t be doing no homework. However,Cathy Vatterott,an education professor at the University Missouri-St.Louis,thinks there is not enough evidence that homework is helpful for students in elementary school.“Relationship is not a root,” she said.“Does homework cause achievement,or do high achievers do more homework?” Vatterott thinks there should be more stress on improving the quality of homework tasks,and she supports efforts to ban homework for younger kids. 9.What will Kelly Elementary School have in the new term? A.No homework. B.Some football practice. C.“10-minute” homework. D.More physical education classes. 10.Who can perform better according to Cooper’s analysis? A.Younger students in all grades with no homework. B.Younger students in lower grades with no homework. C.Older students in lower grades with more homework. D.Older students in higher grades with more homework. 11.What does the underlined word “root” in paragraph 6 mean? A.Cause. B.Reason. C.Part. D.Request. 12.What’s the writer’s attitude towards “10-minute” homework? A.Positive. B.Negative. C.Unknown. D.Doubtful. 参考答案 Ⅰ.1.confidence　2.nationality　3.for　4.concentration　5.to　6.anxious　7.to see　8.was designed;designers　9.frightened;frightening　10.informal Ⅱ.1.made an impression　2.leave alone　3.at last　4.concentrating on　5.next to Ⅲ.1.an exchange student　2.I’m very glad to receive　3.senior high school;find most of my teachers and students kind and friendly　4.What if　5.feel confident that Ⅳ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者介绍了自己的第一天高中生活。 1.C　主旨大意题。根据文章中作者对一天课程的介绍,结合“Finally came Wednesday!”“Everything looked and felt different now that I was in senior high.”可知,本文主要讲述的是作者的第一天高中生活。故选C项。 2.B　推理判断题。根据第三段中“She also has her unique way of saying ‘be quiet’;she says ‘alligator’.”可知,当Compeau老师说“alligator”时,就表明她在要求大家安静,同学们就应该停止说话。 3.D　推理判断题。根据最后一段中“After surviving two periods without too much of a challenge,I began to feel good.”可知,作者感觉前两门课不难。 4.B　推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Mr.V.,my English teacher,told us that we would have to write 40 essays and read AP-level books such as The Odyssey this year.”可知,作者担心这门课的原因是这门课的要求很高。故选B项。 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了高中开学第一天,两个老师发起了一项名为Make My Day的活动,于是各科老师开始让第一节课变得有趣。 5.B　推理判断题。根据第一段中“On that day,the teacher takes attendance...the answer will be ‘Nothing’.”可知,学生在七节课上听到同样的事情,应该觉得是无聊的。故选B项。 6.D　细节理解题。根据第二段中“Last January,Jessica Johnson and Charlotte Jenkins...for the first class of a new term because of this.”可知,Make My Day是全校学生都参加的活动。故选D项。 7.B　推理判断题。根据第四段可知,本段提到的老师的共同点是所有老师都选择做一些令人兴奋的事情。故选B项。 8.D　推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,所有的学生似乎都喜欢这些变化,家长也告诉作者,他们的孩子认为某一学科会很棒。因此推断作者对开学第一天的活动是支持的。故选D项。 【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要围绕学生们是否应该有家庭作业,家庭作业对学生们是否有帮助这些问题进行讨论。 9.A　细节理解题。根据第二段中“A Massachusetts elementary school has announced a no-homework pilot program for the coming school year”可知,Kelly Elementary School在新学期将没有家庭作业。 10.D　推理判断题。根据第四段中“meaning students who did homework performed better in school...a weak relationship between homework and performance.”可推知,有更多作业的高年级学生表现会更好。 11.B　词义猜测题。根据画线处上文“there is not enough evidence that homework is helpful for students in elementary school”以及下文“Does homework cause achievement,or do high achievers do more homework?”可知,Cathy Vatterott认为家庭作业对小学生的帮助并不大,两者之间的关系并不是根本原因。由此可知,画线词root和B项含义一致。 12.C　推理判断题。文章只是在第一段和第二段中阐述了一下“10分钟”原则,但是作者并没有对它表示任何的看法。由此推知,作者对“10分钟”作业的态度是未知的。 8 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
