Do you worry about entering senior high school? Everything, from study to environment, has changed. Can you adapt yourself to it?
You’re not alone. Remember that everybody else in your year is in the same boat.You may not notice it, but they’re just as nervous as you are.
Moving to senior high school is a chance, not a problem. Things are different, and all you need to do is to be polite and learn the new rules.
The teachers will help. If you don’t know what to do or are worried about something, then ask for help.Teachers are probably the best people to turn to, because they have experience in helping new students.Pay attention to what your teachers say.
Everything changes. There are lots of differences between junior high school and senior high school. You will have your lessons with different teachers in different rooms. You will have homework for different subjects on different days, so make sure you get organized. Make sure you know which rooms your classes are in and which days you have your different subjects on.
Other points:
If you’ve got an older brother or sister at the school, then ask them for advice.
Be yourself! It sounds simple, but things will become better if you just act naturally.
Having early nights makes a difference. You’ll also find it easier to get up in the morning!

My first day in high school will never be forgotten. When I got to the classroom in the morning, I saw that Mr. Brown had already put our names on our tables. After walking a few steps, I saw my name on the table right in the middle of the classroom. Walking up to my table, my heart sang. “It would be great to sit there. I could see everything easily,” I thought to myself.
A while later, the other students entered one by one and took their own seats. And then Mr. Brown started talking. He showed us his classroom rules and tried to explain them. All of a sudden, a student called Tony started singing loudly. All the while he moved his body to the music. His desk mate Josh couldn’t understand why he was doing these things. Then he stood up and talked to Mr. Brown, “I don’t want to sit with this strange guy. Can I swap seats with someone else in this room, please?”
Mr. Brown didn’t answer his question directly. He stopped what he was doing and turned on his computer. Then he showed us some pictures about autistic (患自闭症的) kids. He explained that autistic kids have little self-control. They seem to do things that are beyond everyone else’s understanding. However, they can do many other great things, in the field of art or music for example. Then he told us that Tony was not good at maths, but loved songs. “He can sing thousands of songs. What’s more surprising is that he can remember all the words without any mistakes.” In the end, Mr. Brown added that although autistic kids were different, they should be loved.
Since that first day in high school, I became Mr. Brown’s admirer (崇拜者). I was pretty sure Mr. Brown would get all of us on the right track.

A.Annoyed. B.Upset.
C.Excited. D.Unhappy.

D.He had a mathematical mind.
7.What does the author think of Mr. Brown?
A.He is off the right track.
B.He has too many admirers.
C.He is a great teacher.
D.He is too different to be loved.
【答案】4.C 5.D 6.C 7.C
【导语】本文讲述了作者高中第一天的难忘经历。面对患有自闭症同学的异常举动,布朗老师通过展示图片和讲解,引导学生理解并关爱特殊群体,这让作者对老师肃然起敬。
【详解】4.细节理解题。根据第一段中“Walking up to my table, my heart sang. “It would be great to sit there. I could see everything easily,” I thought to myself. (走到我的桌子前,我的心在歌唱。“坐在那里太棒了,我可以轻易地看到一切,”我心里想。)”可知,作者看到自己的桌子位置很好,内心感到非常高兴和激动。
5.细节理解题。根据第二段中“And then Mr. Brown started talking. He showed us his classroom rules and tried to explain them. (然后布朗老师开始讲话。他向我们展示了他的课堂规则,并试图解释它们。)”可知,布朗老师在课堂上首先做的是解释课堂规则。
6.细节理解题。根据第三段中“Then he told us that Tony was not good at maths, but loved songs. “He can sing thousands of songs. What’s more surprising is that he can remember all the words without any mistakes.” (然后他告诉我们托尼不擅长数学,但热爱唱歌。“他能唱几千首歌。更令人惊讶的是,他能毫无错误地记住所有的歌词。”)”可知,托尼的特殊之处在于他非常了解音乐,拥有惊人的记忆力。
7.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Since that first day in high school, I became Mr. Brown’s admirer (崇拜者). I was pretty sure Mr. Brown would get all of us on the right track. (从高中第一天起,我就成了布朗老师的崇拜者。我很确定布朗老师会让我们所有人都走上正轨。)”可推断,作者认为布朗老师是一位能够正确引导学生、值得敬佩的好老师。

It is said that entering high school is the first step into the real world for any student. 1 We have to make our own decisions independently. We were unaware of this from our childhood because that was when we were allowed to make mistakes, with everyone thinking that we were kids. But this doesn’t happen in high school, as we are considered adults now.
You can never expect to live a carefree life in high school. 2 We need to balance our academics and extracurricular activities and also prepare for competitive exams that lie ahead. Even as we have so much to do, we don’t want to miss out on the fun we can have with our friends.
3 One of these was when I skipped a lecture with two of my friends for the first time to watch a newly released movie. Our teacher took attendance and found out about the students who were absent, so eventually we were suspended (暂停) from our laboratory sessions for a week.
Then, there came our first high school exam. I managed to be on the list of top 10 students of my class. 4 So this time, even after all the shenanigans (恶作剧) that I indulged in, I managed to get good marks. But this was the last time that I got good marks. I lost interest in studies and indulged in gaming, watching movies and reading novels.
Thankfully, I didn’t do anything bad, but these normal activities made the situation worse, as I could not concentrate on my studies. I went through counseling (咨询) which I never thought I would ever require. 5 My parents were my sources of strength during that time. They encouraged me to study and motivated me to stay on the right path.
A.There is a lot of study pressure.
B.I was then distracted by games and movies.
C.I had many bittersweet high school experiences.
D.We are extremely excited as now we’re becoming adults.
E.I had always been a good student academically.
F.It was a difficult time for me but eventually I was able to get a decent score.
G.I was nervous because my parents always expected me to stand out.
【答案】1.D 2.A 3.C 4.E 5.F
【导语】本文主要讲述了作者高中阶段的成长历程:从初入校园的兴奋,到面临学业压力与逃课诱惑,再到成绩下滑后接受心理疏导,最终在父母鼓励下重回正轨的真实感悟。
【详解】
1.上文“It is said that entering high school is the first step into the real world for any student. (据说,进入高中对任何学生来说都是踏入现实世界的第一步。)”强调高中标志着成年的开端,及下文“We have to make our own decisions independently. (我们必须独立做出自己的决定。)”说明成年后的自主责任。D选项“We are extremely excited as now we’re becoming adults. (我们无比兴奋,因为我们正在渐渐成为成年人)”中的“becoming adults”与上文“first step into the real world”呼应,“excited”的情绪也自然引出下文关于独立决策的论述,符合语境。
2.上文“You can never expect to live a carefree life in high school. (别指望在高中能过上无忧无虑的生活。)”提出高中生活不易,及下文“We need to balance our academics and extracurricular activities and also prepare for competitive exams that lie ahead. (我们需要平衡学业与课外活动,还要为未来的选拔性考试做准备。)”具体列举了学业压力的来源。A选项“There is a lot of study pressure. (存在着巨大的学习压力。)”承上启下,既解释了为何无法“carefree”,又总领了下文关于学业负担的描述,符合语境。
3.下文“One of these was when I skipped a lecture with two of my friends for the first time to watch a newly released movie. (其中一件事是我第一次和两个朋友逃课去看新上映的电影。)”通过“One of these”举例说明过往经历,表明本段主题是回顾个人经历。C选项“I had many bittersweet high school experiences. (我有许多苦乐参半的高中经历。)”中的“experiences”与下文的“One of these”构成指代关系,且“bittersweet”准确概括了逃课被罚的复杂感受,符合语境。
4.上文“I managed to be on the list of top 10 students of my class. (我设法跻身班级前十名学生之列。)”说明作者曾经学习成绩优异,及下文“So this time, even after all the shenanigans (恶作剧) that I indulged in, I managed to get good marks. (所以这一次,即使在我沉迷于各种恶作剧之后,我还是设法取得了好成绩。)”进一步印证了其原本扎实的学术基础。E选项“I had always been a good student academically. (我在学业上一直是个好学生。)”既是对上文“top 10”的总结,也解释了下文“即使贪玩仍能考好”的原因,符合语境。
5.上文“I went through counseling (咨询) which I never thought I would ever require. (我接受了咨询,这是我从未想过自己会需要的。)”描述了一段艰难时期,及下文“My parents were my sources of strength during that time. (那段时期,父母是我力量的源泉。)”说明最终情况好转并得到支持。F选项“It was a difficult time for me but eventually I was able to get a decent score. (那段时间对我来说是艰难的,但最终我取得了不错的成绩。)”中的“difficult time”呼应上文的困境,“get a decent score”呼应下文的积极结果,起到了承上启下的作用,符合语境。

People don’t really care what you say. 1 Actions speak louder than words. But always you are saying it more than you are doing it. At the end of the day, your words don’t mean much. People will remember you by your actions, not by your words. Someone says, “I’m going to be successful, I’m going to be famous, and I’m going to be a millionaire.” But every time you see them, they are just chatting and relaxing, just being lazy. So they only have the words, not the actions. 2
The lyrics (歌词) to your favorite song on paper don’t mean much. They are just words. It’s the singers that bring the words alive through their actions. Talk is cheap; actions are expensive. In other words, words don’t do much, while actions do everything.
All of the famous people who have successful stories didn’t get there by simply talking about being there. 3 They worked hard to be where they are today. They made something happen. Their words became their actions. Their deeds became their habits.
4 You would regret all the opportunities that you’ve turned down. It was just because you were afraid of or you were worried about what other people thought. If you want someone to believe you when you say something, you have to do something. Again, words are the talk; actions are the walk. 5
A.They did something about it.
B.All you have to do is walk the talk.
C.They pay more attention to what you do.
D.They would like to explore how to talk properly.
E.What I mean is that words and actions are working differently.
F.If you had one week left to live, you would regret so much in your life.
G.What I need you to understand is that words are the talk and actions are the walk.
【答案】1.C 2.G 3.A 4.F 5.B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了做事情时,不能只说不做、要说到做到。
【详解】
1.上文“People don’t really care what you say.(人们并不真的在乎你说什么。)”说明人们不在乎你说了什么,所以空处应表示人们在乎什么,C项“They pay more attention to what you do.(他们更关注你做什么。)”符合题意。故选C。
2.上文“But every time you see them, they are just chatting and relaxing, just being lazy. So they only have the words, not the actions.(但每次你看到他们,他们只是在聊天,放松,只是偷懒。所以他们只有语言,没有行动。)”说明只说不行动是没用处的,所以空处应说明语言只是交谈,行为才是行动,G项“What I need you to understand is that words are the talk and actions are the walk.(我需要你明白的是,言语是言语,行动是行动。)”符合题意。故选G。
3.上文“All of the famous people who have successful stories didn’t get there by simply talking about being there.(所有拥有成功故事的名人都不是通过简单地谈论自己的经历而成功的。)”说明成功人士不是通过简单的谈论来取得成功的,以及下文“They worked hard to be where they are today.(他们努力工作才有了今天的成就。)”说明成功人士努力工作获得成功,所以空处应说明他们做了事情,A项“They did something about it.(他们关于这做了一些事。)”符合题意。故选A。
4.下文“You would regret all the opportunities that you’ve turned down.(你会为你拒绝的所有机会而后悔的。)”说明,你会因错过机会而后悔,F选项“If you had one week left to live, you would regret so much in your life.(如果你只剩下一周的生命,你会后悔生命中的很多事情。)”说明了在没多久可以活的时候会后悔,且要后悔的很多,引出了下文后悔的具体的东西,因此F选项引起下文,符合语境,F项中的regret呼应下文的regret。故选F。
5.上文“If you want someone to believe you when you say something, you have to do something. Again, words are the talk; actions are the walk.(如果你希望别人相信你说的话,你必须做点什么。语言只是语言,行为才是行动)”说明事实胜于雄辩,B项“All you have to do is walk the talk.(你所要做的就是说到做到。)”符合题意,总结全文,呼应主题。故选B。

Finally, the first day of senior high school arrived. I was really curious 1 the new school life on the first day.

As soon as the bell rang, a middle-aged man 4 wore a big smile on his face walked in. He introduced himself as Mr Malouf and told us that he was our class teacher. Then he asked us 5 (introduce) ourselves to each other, including information like our names, hobbies, junior high schools, 6 a fact about ourselves. Next, Mr Malouf told the class about his background after we asked where he was from. We finished the first class with the 7 (impress) that our senior high school would be colorful.
Our next class was Mrs Kelly’s biology class. She has very strict rules that the students 8 (require) to follow. When I heard these rules, I got very nervous. Although Mrs Kelly appeared strict, I found her also 9 (help) and patient.
At the end of the day, I learned if I did not work hard, I would not achieve my goals. However, senior high school is also about being free, being able to join clubs and have fun. I really look forward to 10 (see) my classmates and teachers tomorrow.
【答案】
1.about 2.anxiously 3.exchanged 4.who/that 5.to introduce 6.and 7.impression 8.are required 9.helpful 10.seeing
【导语】本文主要讲述作者高中开学第一天的经历,描写初见同学、班主任和生物老师的场景,并抒发了对高中生活的感悟与期待。
【详解】
1.考查介词。句意:第一天,我对全新的校园生活充满好奇。固定搭配be curious about表示“对…… 感到好奇”。
2.考查副词。句意:我看见全班同学都焦急地等待上课铃响起。此处修饰动词waiting,要用副词anxiously。
3.考查时态。句意:我坐下后,和同桌相视一笑。叙述开学当天发生的事,使用一般过去时,exchange的过去式是exchanged。
4.考查定语从句。句意:铃声一响,一位面带笑容的中年男士走了进来。空处引导限制性定语从句,先行词a middle aged man,指人,关系词在从句中作主语,可用关系代词who或that。
5.考查非谓语动词。句意:随后他让我们互相做自我介绍,内容包括姓名、爱好、初中母校以及关于自己的一个事实。固定搭配ask sb. to do sth.意为“要求某人做某事”,用不定式to introduce作宾语补足语。
6.考查并列连词。句意同上。names, hobbies, junior high schools与a fact about ourselves是并列列举的内容,用并列连词and连接。
7.考查名词。句意:第一堂课结束时,我留下了这样的印象:高中生活会丰富多彩。定冠词the后需要名词作with的宾语,动词impress对应的名词是impression。
8.考查时态、语态。句意:她制定了十分严格的规章制度,要求学生必须遵守。根据has可知,句子描述客观情况,使用了一般现在时,students和require之间是被动关系,故用一般现在时的被动语态,主语students是复数,被动语态用are required。
9.考查形容词。句意:尽管凯利老师看起来很严厉,但我发现她热心又有耐心。此处与patient并列作宾语补足语,需要形容词,help的形容词形式helpful,意为“乐于助人的”。
10.考查非谓语动词。句意:我十分期待明天再见到老师和同学们。固定搭配look forward to doing sth.中to是介词,后面接动名词seeing作宾语。

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
The change from middle school 1 high school can be stressful (压力重的) for all teens. Academic expectations increase, and socialising and after-school activities become more important.

Teachers can help them break long-term assignments down into 5 (small), more manageable pieces. It may be 6 (help) for them to learn strategies to prepare for tests and try studying with methods 7 can improve their learning strengths.
After-school activities are a great way for teens to make friends and explore their interests. But because they take up time, activities can make 8 hard for teens to do everything else. Teachers should talk to students about ways to balance an activity and schoolwork.

【答案】
1.to 2.done 3.to manage 4.tasks 5.smaller 6.helpful 7.that/which 8.it 9.equally 10.staying
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了刚上高中的学生会面临的挑战以及解决办法。
【详解】
1.考查固定短语。句意:从初中到高中的转变可能会给所有青少年带来压力。此处是固定搭配from… to…,意为“从……到……”,符合句意,故填to。
2.考查非谓语动词。句意:在高中,保持足够的条理性来完成每件事可能是一件困难的事情。get sth done为固定结构,表示“完成某事;让某事被做”,everything与do之间为逻辑上的被动关系,所以用过去分词作宾语补足语。故填done。
3.考查疑问词+不定式。句意:但老师和家长可以帮助青少年学习如何管理任务,让他们自己走上正轨。此处是“疑问词+不定式”结构作learn的宾语。故填to manage。
4.考查名词的数。句意:随着作业和考试的增多,学生们可能会在不同的课上被布置任务,而且截止日期都相同。设空处为宾语,应用名词,空前无修饰限定词,且结合语境及空后“in different classes”可知,此处表示泛指的复数概念,表示不止一个任务,故用复数形式。故填tasks。
5.考查形容词比较级。句意:老师可以帮助他们将长期作业分解成更小、更容易管理的部分。根据空后的形容词比较级more manageable和句意可知,设空处和more manageable并列作定语,修饰名词pieces,表示“更小的”,所以应用形容词比较级smaller。故填smaller。
6.考查形容词。句意:这可能有助于他们了解备考策略,并尝试使用可以增强他们学习优势的方法进行学习。空前是系动词,所以设空处作表语,应用形容词,根据句意可知,此处表示“有帮助的”,应用help的形容词形式helpful,故填helpful。
7.考查定语从句。句意:同上。设空处引导限制性定语从句,先行词是methods,指物,关系词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词that或which引导该从句。故填that/ which。
8.考查代词。句意:但因为这些活动占用时间,它们会让青少年很难做好其他所有事情。此处是固定结构“make+it+adj.+for sb+to do sth”, it在此结构中作形式宾语,不定式短语为真正的宾语。故填it。
9.考查副词。句意:高中可能同样既令人兴奋又充满挑战,但通过与老师和家长保持联系,青少年能够克服挑战并取得成功。设空处修饰空后的形容词短语exciting and challenging,应用副词equally作状语。故填equally。
10.考查非谓语动词。句意:同上。设空处作介词by的宾语, stay in touch with sb为动词短语,故应用动名词形式, by doing sth 意为“通过做某事”。故填staying。

Friendship is a mutual (相互的) connection between people who make time to offer each other honest advice and support. Frankly, it’s funny to think that friends 61 (make) online aren’t able to fulfill that duty.
Our generation grows up online, and digital communication is the norm. Despite seeing some friends 62 person at school, we get most of the updates on their lives the same way we do with friends 63 live three states away — by viewing what 64 (post) on social media.
The 65 (real) is that friends can’t physically be with you all the time, which reduces the possibility of receiving their guidance at 66 exact moment when you need it most. In fact, texts and even likes and shares give us the ability 67 (bring) our support system with us wherever we go, providing convenient ways for friends to maintain friendships and cheer each other on. However, if we continue to depend so 68 (heavy) on social media for support, we 69 (lose) important interpersonal skills. Being able to speak confidently, make eye contact and reply to people with different personalities on the spot is what will open the doors to 70 (deep) friendships and better career opportunities in the future.
【答案】
61.made 62.in 63.who/that 64.is posted 65.reality 66.the 67.to bring 68.heavily 69.will lose 70.deeper
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了网上交友的可行性和其弊端。
61.考查非谓语动词。句意:坦率地说,认为网上的朋友不能履行这一职责很有趣。分析句子可知,“(make) online”作后置定语修饰名词friends,make是非谓语动词,与其逻辑主语friends之间是被动关系,所以应用过去分词表示被动。故填made。
62.考查介词。句意:尽管我们在学校里当面见过一些朋友,但我们对他们生活的大多数最新情况的了解方式跟住在三个州之外的朋友一样——通过查看社交媒体上发布的内容。in person是固定短语,意为“亲自,直接,当面”。故填in。
63.考查定语从句。句意:尽管我们在学校里当面见过一些朋友,但我们对他们生活的大多数最新情况的了解跟住在三个州之外的朋友一样——通过查看社交媒体上发布的内容。空处引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词friends,指人,关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作主语,应使用关系代词who或that引导。故填who或that。
64.考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意:尽管我们在学校里当面见过一些朋友,但我们对他们生活的大多数最新情况的了解跟住在三个州之外的朋友一样——通过查看社交媒体上发布的内容。分析句子可知,post(发布)是宾语从句中谓语动词,与主语what之间是被动关系,结合句意和上文时态可知,陈述客观事实,应用一般现在时态,又因主语是连接代词what,谓语动词应使用单数形式。故填is posted。
65.考查名词。句意:现实情况是,朋友不可能一直和你在一起,这就降低了在你最需要指导的时刻得到他们指导的可能性。结合句意和空格前定冠词the可知,提示词在句中作主语,意为“现实”,应用名词形式reality。故填reality。
66.考查冠词。句意:现实情况是,朋友不可能一直和你在一起,这就降低了在你最需要指导的时刻得到他们指导的可能性。根据moment后定语从句“when you need it most”可知,句中特指“最需要指导的时刻”,应定冠词the限定。故填the。
67.考查非谓语动词。句意:事实上,短信、甚至点赞和分享给了我们无论走到哪里都能得到支持的能力,为朋友间维持友谊和互相鼓励提供了方便的方式。名词ability后面常接动词不定式作后置定语,ability to do...意为“……的能力”。故填to bring。
68.考查副词。句意:然而,如果我们继续如此严重地依赖社交媒体的支持,我们将失去重要的人际交往技巧。修饰动词短语depend on,应用副词heavily意为“在很大程度上,严重地”。故填heavily。
69.考查动词时态。句意:然而,如果我们继续如此严重地依赖社交媒体的支持,我们将失去重要的人际交往技巧。在含有if引导的条件状语从句的复合句中,if引导的条件状语从句用一般现在时,主句应用一般将来时。故填will lose。
70.考查形容词比较级。句意:能够自信地说话,进行眼神交流,并当场回复不同个性的人,将为你打开通向更深的友谊和未来更好的工作机会的大门。and连接两个并列的成分,根据and后的“better career opportunities”和提示词可知,此处也应用形容词的比较级形式,作定语。故填deeper。

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 just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to.
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 some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck!
Eddie, Aged 20
When I started high school, I was really nervous too, especially since I had been home-schooled 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 am 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.
1.What can we infer from what Sharon said?
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.
2.How did Eddie feel on his first day of high school?
A.Excited. B.Bored. C.Anxious. D.Relaxed.
3.Who mentions the importance of friends?
A.Frank. B.David. C.Sharon. D.Eddie.

You may not know a lot of people when you start senior high school. Maybe your friends from junior high school are going to a different senior high school. Even if you know other freshmen (一年级学生), you still feel anxious that you don’t know any upperclassmen. How are you going to make friends among this sea of unknown faces?
Most senior high schools hold the freshman orientation (迎新会) before school actually starts. It is helpful because you not only learn your way around the building but also get to meet some of your teachers and fellow freshmen. That way, when you show up on your first day of school, you may already recognize a few familiar faces.
When you talk to people at orientation, you’ll probably find that a lot of them are feeling just like you are. They’re all new to the school and don’t know what to expect. Talking about a common concern with your classmates can help you develop friendships.
The work in senior high school is something freshmen are probably worried about. It builds on what you learned in junior high school, giving you a more advanced (高深的) knowledge of many subjects. So you may find you have more work to do or that it’s a bit more challenging. If you ever find your work too difficult, teachers can give you extra help.
Senior high school also has more after-school activities than junior high school, such as clubs, music and theater groups and sports teams. This is a good time to explore your interests and try new things.
Junior high school taught you the basics of time management and social skills while providing you with a little extra support and guidance. Senior high school gives you the chance to learn how to be more independent and responsible.
5.How do the freshmen usually feel on their first day of senior high school?
A.Proud. B.Nervous C.Excited. D.Curious.
6.What are freshmen probably worried about?
A.The learning task. B.The ability to make friends.
C.The freshman orientation. D.The relationship with teachers.
7.What do after-school activities mainly help students to do?
A.Develop friendships. B.Develop their interests.
C.Build up their strength. D.Improve their learning ability.
8.What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.What you’ll learn in senior high school.
B.What you learned in junior high school.
C.The difference between junior high school and senior high school.
D.The importance of being more independent and responsible.
【答案】5.B 6.A 7.B 8.C
【导语】本文主要分析了高中新生面临的紧张、担心和解决办法。
【详解】
5.细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Even if you know other freshmen (一年级学生), you still feel anxious that you don’t know any upperclassmen.(即便你认识一些高一新生,你仍会因为不认识高年级的同学而感到焦虑。)”可知,新生来到学校第一天通常都会感到焦虑不安。
6.细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The work in senior high school is something freshmen are probably worried about. It builds on what you learned in junior high school, giving you a more advanced (高深的) knowledge of many subjects. So you may find you have more work to do or that it’s a bit more challenging.(高中阶段的学习是新生们可能会感到担忧的事情。它是在初中所学知识的基础上进行的,能让你在更多学科方面获得更深入的了解。所以你可能会发现自己需要完成更多的作业,或者会觉得学习难度有所增加。)”可知,在高中学生将学习更高深的知识,学习也会更有挑战性,因此新生可能会担心学习。
7.细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Senior high school also has more after-school activities than junior high school, such as clubs, music and theater groups and sports teams. This is a good time to explore your interests and try new things.(高中阶段的课外活动比初中阶段更多,比如社团活动、音乐和戏剧团体以及运动队等。这是一个探索个人兴趣和尝试新事物的好时机。)”可知,课外活动能发展学生的兴趣。
8.主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“Junior high school taught you the basics of time management and social skills while providing you with a little extra support and guidance. Senior high school gives you the chance to learn how to be more independent and responsible.(初中时期,你学会了时间管理和社交方面的基本知识,并且还得到了一些额外的支持和指导。而高中阶段则为你提供了更多独立和负责任的培养机会。)”可知,最后一段主要讲的是初中教育和高中教育的不同。

It was surprising for me to 3 that my friends were no longer willing to meet very often after school. This made me 4 that perhaps I failed to know the true 5 of the three years of high school. I should state that it became especially 6 after I talked to my best friend. He told me that he was really 7 because I seemed to have no plan when it came to 8 for college.

I was wrong, and this 13 taught me that having fun in high school does not just mean going to parties or spending time in cafés. Instead, you can have a(n) 14 experience that will benefit your future.
I am glad that I was able to learn from this situation. Now, I am studying harder to 15 more knowledge and try to understand which subjects I am most interested in to find out what I want to study in the future.

My first day in high school will never be forgotten. When I got to the classroom in the morning, I saw that Mr. Brown had already put our names on our tables. After walking a few steps, I saw my name on the table right in the middle of the classroom. Walking up to my table, my heart sang. “It would be great to sit there. I could see everything easily,” I thought to myself.
A while later, the other students entered one by one and took their own seats. And then Mr. Brown started talking. He showed us his classroom rules and tried to explain them. All of a sudden, a student called Tony started singing loudly. All the while he moved his body to the music. His desk mate Josh couldn’t understand why he was doing these things. Then he stood up and talked to Mr. Brown, “I don’t want to sit with this strange guy. Can I swap seats with someone else in this room, please?”
Mr. Brown didn’t answer his question directly. He stopped what he was doing and turned on his computer. Then he showed us some pictures about autistic (患自闭症的) kids. He explained that autistic kids have little self-control. They seem to do things that are beyond everyone else’s understanding. However, they can do many other great things, in the field of art or music for example. Then he told us that Tony was not good at maths, but loved songs. “He can sing thousands of songs. What’s more surprising is that he can remember all the words without any mistakes.” In the end, Mr. Brown added that although autistic kids were different, they should be loved.
Since that first day in high school, I became Mr. Brown’s admirer (崇拜者). I was pretty sure Mr. Brown would get all of us on the right track.
4.How did the author feel when seeing his table?
A.Annoyed. B.Upset.
C.Excited. D.Unhappy.
5.What did Mr. Brown do in the class first?

D.He had a mathematical mind.
7.What does the author think of Mr. Brown?
A.He is off the right track.
B.He has too many admirers.
C.He is a great teacher.
D.He is too different to be loved.

It is said that entering high school is the first step into the real world for any student. 1 We have to make our own decisions independently. We were unaware of this from our childhood because that was when we were allowed to make mistakes, with everyone thinking that we were kids. But this doesn’t happen in high school, as we are considered adults now.
You can never expect to live a carefree life in high school. 2 We need to balance our academics and extracurricular activities and also prepare for competitive exams that lie ahead. Even as we have so much to do, we don’t want to miss out on the fun we can have with our friends.
3 One of these was when I skipped a lecture with two of my friends for the first time to watch a newly released movie. Our teacher took attendance and found out about the students who were absent, so eventually we were suspended (暂停) from our laboratory sessions for a week.
Then, there came our first high school exam. I managed to be on the list of top 10 students of my class. 4 So this time, even after all the shenanigans (恶作剧) that I indulged in, I managed to get good marks. But this was the last time that I got good marks. I lost interest in studies and indulged in gaming, watching movies and reading novels.
Thankfully, I didn’t do anything bad, but these normal activities made the situation worse, as I could not concentrate on my studies. I went through counseling (咨询) which I never thought I would ever require. 5 My parents were my sources of strength during that time. They encouraged me to study and motivated me to stay on the right path.
A.There is a lot of study pressure.
B.I was then distracted by games and movies.
C.I had many bittersweet high school experiences.
D.We are extremely excited as now we’re becoming adults.
E.I had always been a good student academically.
F.It was a difficult time for me but eventually I was able to get a decent score.
G.I was nervous because my parents always expected me to stand out.

People don’t really care what you say. 1 Actions speak louder than words. But always you are saying it more than you are doing it. At the end of the day, your words don’t mean much. People will remember you by your actions, not by your words. Someone says, “I’m going to be successful, I’m going to be famous, and I’m going to be a millionaire.” But every time you see them, they are just chatting and relaxing, just being lazy. So they only have the words, not the actions. 2
The lyrics (歌词) to your favorite song on paper don’t mean much. They are just words. It’s the singers that bring the words alive through their actions. Talk is cheap; actions are expensive. In other words, words don’t do much, while actions do everything.
All of the famous people who have successful stories didn’t get there by simply talking about being there. 3 They worked hard to be where they are today. They made something happen. Their words became their actions. Their deeds became their habits.
4 You would regret all the opportunities that you’ve turned down. It was just because you were afraid of or you were worried about what other people thought. If you want someone to believe you when you say something, you have to do something. Again, words are the talk; actions are the walk. 5
A.They did something about it.
B.All you have to do is walk the talk.
C.They pay more attention to what you do.
D.They would like to explore how to talk properly.
E.What I mean is that words and actions are working differently.
F.If you had one week left to live, you would regret so much in your life.
G.What I need you to understand is that words are the talk and actions are the walk.

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Finally, the first day of senior high school arrived. I was really curious 1 the new school life on the first day.
The moment I entered the classroom, I looked around. I saw all my classmates waiting 2 (anxious) for the bell to ring. After I sat down, I 3 (exchange) a smile with my deskmate.
As soon as the bell rang, a middle-aged man 4 wore a big smile on his face walked in. He introduced himself as Mr Malouf and told us that he was our class teacher. Then he asked us 5 (introduce) ourselves to each other, including information like our names, hobbies, junior high schools, 6 a fact about ourselves. Next, Mr Malouf told the class about his background after we asked where he was from. We finished the first class with the 7 (impress) that our senior high school would be colorful.
Our next class was Mrs Kelly’s biology class. She has very strict rules that the students 8 (require) to follow. When I heard these rules, I got very nervous. Although Mrs Kelly appeared strict, I found her also 9 (help) and patient.
At the end of the day, I learned if I did not work hard, I would not achieve my goals. However, senior high school is also about being free, being able to join clubs and have fun. I really look forward to 10 (see) my classmates and teachers tomorrow.

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
The change from middle school 1 high school can be stressful (压力重的) for all teens. Academic expectations increase, and socialising and after-school activities become more important.
Staying organised enough to get everything 2 (do) can be a struggle in high school. Learning and thinking differences can cause trouble with time management. But teachers and parents can help teens learn how 3 (manage) tasks to keep themselves on track.
With more work and tests, students may have 4 (task) in different classes with the same deadline (最后期限). Teachers can help them break long-term assignments down into 5 (small), more manageable pieces. It may be 6 (help) for them to learn strategies to prepare for tests and try studying with methods 7 can improve their learning strengths.
After-school activities are a great way for teens to make friends and explore their interests. But because they take up time, activities can make 8 hard for teens to do everything else. Teachers should talk to students about ways to balance an activity and schoolwork.
High school can be 9 (equal) exciting and challenging, but teens can overcome challenges and find success by 10 (stay) in touch with teachers and parents.
(三)
Friendship is a mutual (相互的) connection between people who make time to offer each other honest advice and support. Frankly, it’s funny to think that friends 61 (make) online aren’t able to fulfill that duty.
Our generation grows up online, and digital communication is the norm. Despite seeing some friends 62 person at school, we get most of the updates on their lives the same way we do with friends 63 live three states away — by viewing what 64 (post) on social media.
The 65 (real) is that friends can’t physically be with you all the time, which reduces the possibility of receiving their guidance at 66 exact moment when you need it most. In fact, texts and even likes and shares give us the ability 67 (bring) our support system with us wherever we go, providing convenient ways for friends to maintain friendships and cheer each other on. However, if we continue to depend so 68 (heavy) on social media for support, we 69 (lose) important interpersonal skills. Being able to speak confidently, make eye contact and reply to people with different personalities on the spot is what will open the doors to 70 (deep) friendships and better career opportunities in the future.

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 just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to.
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 some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck!
Eddie, Aged 20
When I started high school, I was really nervous too, especially since I had been home-schooled 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 am 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.
1.What can we infer from what Sharon said?
A.Teachers are quite strict. B.Students often stay up at night.
