二、阅读理解
Passage 1
Thirteen-year-old Kaylee has a lot of friends — 532, actually, if you count up her online friends. And she spends a lot of time with them.
But is it possible that Kaylee’s online friendships could be making her lonely? That’s what some experts believe. Connecting online is a great way to stay in touch, they say. However, some experts worry that many kids are so busy connecting online that they might be missing out on true friendships.
Could this be true? During your parents’ childhoods, connecting with friends usually meant spending time with them in the flesh. Kids played scrabble around a table, not Words With Friends on their phones. When friends missed each other, they picked up the telephone. Friends might even write letters to each other.
Today, most communication takes place online. A typical teen sends 2, 000 texts a month and spends more than 44 hours per week in front of a screen. Much of this time is spent on social media platforms (平台).
In fact, in many ways, online communication can make friendships stronger. “There’s definitely a positive influence. Kids can stay in constant contact, which means they can share more of their feelings with each other,” says Katie David, co-author of The Ape Generation.
Other experts, however, warn that too much online communication can get in the way of forming deep friendships. “If we are constantly checking in with our virtual worlds, we will have little time for our real-world friendships.” says Larry Rosen, a professor at California State University. Rosen also worries that today’s kids might mistake the “friends” on the social media for true friends in life. However, in tough times, you don’t need someone to like your picture or share your blogs. You need someone who will keep your secrets and hold your hand. You would like to talk face to face.
1.What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A.To summarize the text. B.To tell about true friends.
C.To bring up a discussion. D.To encourage online friendship.
2.What does the underlined part “in the flesh” mean in Paragraph 3?
A.In person. B.In advance. C.In any case. D.In silence.
3.What is Katie’s attitude towards online communication?
A.Worried. B.Positive. C.Confused. D.Unconcerned.
4.What view does Rosen hold?
A.It’s wise to turn to friends online. B.It’s easier to develop friendships in reality.
C.Social media help people stay closely connected. D.Teenagers need focus on real-world friendships.
【答案】1.C 2.A 3.B 4.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了现在的青少年把更多的时间用于网上交友,这样的现象让专家很担忧。专家认为青少年如果不断地关注虚拟世界,他们将几乎没有时间在现实世界建立真正的友谊。
1.推理判断题。根据第一段“Thirteen-year-old Kaylee has a lot of friends — 532, actually, if you count up her online friends. And she spends a lot of time with them.(13岁的凯莉有很多朋友——如果把她线上结识的朋友也算上的话,总数竟多达532位。而且她还花很多时间与他们相处)”以及第二段的“But is it possible that Kaylee’s online friendships could be making her lonely?(但是,Kaylee的网络友谊可能会让她感到孤独吗?)”和“However, some experts worry that many kids are so busy connecting online that they might be missing out on true friendships.(然而,一些专家担心,许多孩子忙于上网,可能会错过真正的友谊。)”可知,通过介绍Kaylee拥有很多线上朋友并花大量时间与他们交流的事实,引出了下文对于网络友谊是否可能导致孤独感以及网络社交对青少年真正友谊的影响的讨论。由此可推知,第一段的目的在于提出一个讨论话题。故选C。
2.词句猜测题。根据划线所在短语所在的句子“During your parents’ childhoods, connecting with friends usually meant spending time with them(在你父母的童年时期,与朋友建立联系通常意味着与他们共度时光)”以及“Kids played scrabble around a table, not Words With Friends on their phones.(孩子们在桌子旁玩拼字游戏,而不是在电话里玩Words With Friends)”可知,在父母的童年时代,与朋友交往通常意味着亲自在一起,孩子们围桌游戏,而不是在手机上玩Words With Friends。因此,“in the flesh”在这里指的是“亲自,面对面”。故选A。
3.推理判断题。根据第五段““There’s definitely a positive influence. Kids can stay in constant contact, which means they can share more of their feelings with each other,” says Katie David, co-author of The Ape Generation. (“这肯定是一种积极的影响。孩子们可以保持持续的联系,这意味着他们可以相互分享更多的感受,”《猿一代》的作者凯蒂·大卫说)”可知,她认为网络交流有积极影响,孩子们可以保持持续的联系,分享更多情感。由此可推知,Katie对网上交流的态度是积极的。故选B。
4.推理判断题。根据第六段““If we are constantly checking in with our virtual worlds, way will have little time for our real-world friendships.” says Larry Rosen, a professor at California State University.(加州州立大学教授拉里·罗森说:“若我们不断地使用虚拟世界,那么我们在现实世界中建立友谊的时间就很少了。”)”以及“You need some one who will keep your secrets and hold your hand. You would like to talk face to face.(你需要一个能保守你的秘密、给你依靠的人。你希望能够面对面地交流)”可知,Rosen认为过度沉浸在虚拟世界中会影响现实世界的友谊,青少年需要关注现实生活中的友谊,需要有人能面对面地交流和支持。故选D。
Passage 2
At St. Francis High School in La Canada, Calif, there’s something to be said about math teacher Jim Connor.
The truth is, Connor can be a bit of a drudge. But the 70-year-old man says he’s not here to entertain his students. “It drives me crazy when people say school should be fun,” he says. “I mean, it’s nice if it could be, but you can’t make school fun.”
And for years, the kids thought that’s all there was to him—until last November, when senior Pat McGoldrick learned they didn’t know the half of him.
Pat was in charge of a student blood drive and had just come to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles for a meeting. And he says it was strange: whenever he told someone he went to St. Francis High School, they all said, “Oh, you must know Jim Connor. Isn’t he wonderful?”
“It was disbelief, really,” Pat says. “It was almost kind of finding this alter ego (另一面) that he has.” Inside the blood donor center, Pat found a plaque (匾牌) listing all the top blood donors at the hospital, including the record holder, Jim Connor. Then he learned something even more unbelievable: whenever Connor isn’t torturing kids with calculus (微积分), he’s cuddling (拥抱) sick babies. Three days a week for the past 20 years, Jim has volunteered at the hospital, stepping in to become involved in an activity when parents can’t, to hold, feed and comfort the children when their parents can’t do that.
“They tend to calm for him,” Nurse Erin says. “They tend to relax with him. They fall asleep with him.”
“I just like them and relate to them somehow,” Connor says.
Connor has never been married; he has no kids of his own. But he has fallen hard for these babies.
“I’ve always respected him, but now it’s to an even different degree—really to the point where I try to follow his example,” Pat says. “He’s the epitome (典范) of a man of service.”
1.What do we learn from paragraph 2?
A.School can never be fun B.Connor thinks education is for all.
C.Connor’s students drive him crazy. D.Connor is highly demanding.
2.What did Pat find out about Mr Connor?
A.Mr Connor used to be a very strict teacher.
B.Mr Connor donated blood as well as his time.
C.Mr Connor had a unique teaching philosophy.
D.Mr Connor was awarded for his love toward babies.
3.Which of the following is true about Mr. Connor?
A.He works two shifts every day for a living.
B.He has the ability to connect with those kids he holds.
C.He has his alter ego in the eyes of his students all the time.
D.He falls hard for those sick kids so he decided not to have his own.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A.Tough teacher has a soft heart B.Bonding with babies in need of love
C.Everybody keeps something under his hat D.A real lesson is life through learning calculus
【答案】1.D 2.B 3.B 4.A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了高中数学老师康纳,一直被认为非常严厉,但后来人们了解到他不仅是医院献血记录保持者,而且在过去的20年间,每周有三天在医院照顾生病的婴儿的故事。
1.推理判断题。根据第二段“But the 70-year-old man says he’s not here to entertain his students. “It drives me crazy when people say school should be fun,” he says. “I mean, it’s nice if it could be, but you can’t make school fun.”(但这位 70 岁的老人表示,他来这里并非是为了娱乐学生。“当人们说学校应该充满乐趣时,这让我感到非常恼火,”他说,“我的意思是,如果能这样就好了,但你无法让学校变得有趣。”)”可推知,康纳是一个比较严厉的老师,对学生要求很高。故选D。
2.细节理解题。根据第五段“Inside the blood donor center, Pat found a plaque (匾牌) listing all the top blood donors at the hospital, including the record holder, Jim Connor. Then he learned something even more unbelievable: whenever Connor isn’t torturing kids with calculus (微积分), he’s cuddling (拥抱) sick babies. Three days a week for the past 20 years, Jim has volunteered at the hospital, stepping in to become involved in an activity when parents can’t, to hold, feed and comfort the children when their parents can’t do that.(在献血中心里,帕特看到了一块铭牌,上面列出了医院所有献血量最多的献血者的名字,其中包括纪录保持者吉姆·康纳。接着,他又听到了更令人难以置信的事情:每当康纳没有用微积分来折磨孩子们的时候,他就会去拥抱生病的婴儿。在过去 20 年里,吉姆每周有三天会去医院做志愿者。当孩子的父母无法参与某项活动、无法抱抱孩子、给孩子喂食或是安抚孩子时,他就会主动接手帮忙。)”可知,康纳不仅献了血,还奉献了时间去照顾生病的婴儿。故选B。
3.推理判断题。根据第六段““They tend to calm for him,” Nurse Erin says. “They tend to relax with him. They fall asleep with him.”(“他们往往会因为他而平静下来,”埃琳护士说道。“他们和他在一起时往往会放松下来。他们会和他一起入睡。”)”可知,康纳有和他抱着的孩子交流、建立情感的能力。故选B。
4.主旨大意题。根据第二段“But the 70-year-old man says he’s not here to entertain his students. “It drives me crazy when people say school should be fun,” he says. “I mean, it’s nice if it could be, but you can’t make school fun.”(但这位 70 岁的老人表示,他来这里并非是为了娱乐学生。“当人们说学校应该充满乐趣时,这让我感到非常恼火,”他说,“我的意思是,如果能这样就好了,但你无法让学校变得有趣。”)”可知,本文主要讲述了康纳是一个对学生要求严格的老师;结合第五、六段内容可知,康纳很有爱心,不仅献过血,还常去医院照顾生病的孩子,有和他们交流、建立情感的能力,可见他有一颗柔软的心。故选A。
Passage 3
A quiet space is often considered important for achieving the concentration, or focus, that leads to academic (学术的) success. But research shows that some students may benefit from breaking the silence with certain kinds of music while they study. Music has a powerful influence on both the body and the brain, in ways that can help students navigate the physical and emotional barriers that come with academic challenges.
One US study compared students who took a test to soft music with those who took the test under silent conditions. The study found that students taking a test to music not only completed more questions within a set time but also answered more questions correctly. Music has been further linked to improvements in memory and recall. Experts have found that when music stimulates mood (情绪) and motivation, students are able to learn more and to better demonstrate (展现) their knowledge.
A bit of mood music affects more than just memory and recall when students hit the books. Music can also relieve stress related to school. Scientists have learned that music engages the autonomic nervous system (自主神经系统), which not only controls the unconscious functions of the body but also influences emotions (情感). So it’s no surprise that researchers from the Group Health Research Institute concluded that certain kinds of background music can be just as effective at reducing stress as a massage (按摩). Furthermore, while the brain feels better with music, the body may as well. Research shows that certain types of music can make physical pain feel less intense. What’s more, calming music with a steady, meditative rhythm can help people sleep longer and more deeply.
However, some educators express concern that listening to music while trying to concentrate may do more harm than good. Loud music may have a negative influence on a student’s mood or act as a distraction.
Actually, the best approach (方法) may depend on the students themselves. Listening to music during study time may not mean a guaranteed (保证的) A for all students, but those who find it helpful should be allowed to plug in their headphones (耳机).
1.What does the underlined word “stimulates” in the second paragraph probably mean?
A.Reduces. B.Inspires. C.Describes. D.Changes.
2.According to the passage, music can ________.
A.cure physical pain. B.control body movements.
C.guarantee academic success. D.improve brain functions.
3.How does the author write this passage mainly?
A.By presenting facts. B.By comparing students.
C.By listing numbers. D.By giving examples.
4.What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.The way to listen to music. B.The harm of using headphones.
C.The advice on what to do. D.The approaches of the researches.
【答案】1.B 2.D 3.A 4.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要探讨了在学习时听音乐对学生可能产生的积极影响,包括提高注意力、记忆力、缓解压力和减轻身体疼痛等,同时也提到了大声音乐可能带来的负面影响,指出学习时是否听音乐需因人而异,对觉得有帮助的学生应予以允许。
1.词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Experts have found that when music stimulates mood (情绪) and motivation, students are able to learn more and to better demonstrate (展现) their knowledge. (专家们发现,当音乐stimulates情绪和动力时,学生能够学习更多,并能更好地展现他们的知识)”可知,此处指的应是音乐激发了情绪和动力,所以才能让学生学得更多,并更好地展现知识,因此“stimulates”应表示“激发,激励”,与“Inspires”意思相近。故选B项。
2.细节理解题。根据第二段中“One US study compared students who took a test to soft music with those who took the test under silent conditions. The study found that students taking a test to music not only completed more questions within a set time but also answered more questions correctly. Music has been further linked to improvements in memory and recall. (美国的一项研究对比了在轻柔音乐背景下参加测试的学生和在安静环境中参加测试的学生。研究发现,听着音乐参加测试的学生不仅在规定时间内完成了更多题目,而且答对的题目也更多。音乐还被进一步证实与记忆力和回忆能力的提升有关联)”以及第三段中“A bit of mood music affects more than just memory and recall when students hit the books. Music can also relieve stress related to school. (学生们埋头苦读时,一点能调动情绪的音乐所产生的影响不仅仅是作用于记忆力和回忆能力。音乐还能缓解与学业相关的压力)”可知,音乐能帮助学生提升答题正确率、改善记忆与回忆能力,还可以缓解与学业有关的压力,这些均属于对大脑功能的积极影响,即音乐可以改善大脑功能。故选D项。
3.推理判断题。纵览全文,并根据第二段中“One US study compared students who took a test to soft music with those who took the test under silent conditions. (美国的一项研究对比了在轻柔音乐背景下参加测试的学生和在安静环境中参加测试的学生)”以及第三段中“Scientists have learned that music engages the autonomic nervous system (自主神经系统), which not only controls the unconscious functions of the body but also influences emotions (情感). (科学家们已经发现,音乐能够作用于自主神经系统,该系统不仅控制着身体的无意识功能,还会影响情感)”可知,文章通过介绍美国的一项研究结果和科学家们的研究发现,来阐述音乐对学习的影响,因此,文章主要是通过呈现事实的方式来行文的。故选A项。
4.主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Actually, the best approach (方法) may depend on the students themselves. Listening to music during study time may not mean a guaranteed (保证的) A for all students, but those who find it helpful should be allowed to plug in their headphones (耳机). (实际上,最佳方法可能取决于学生自身。在学习时听音乐未必能保证所有学生都得A,但那些觉得这样有帮助的学生应该被允许戴上耳机。)”可知,最后一段主要是关于对在学习时听音乐这件事的建议。故选C项。
Passage 4
When Mugdha Kalra took her four-and-a-half-year-old son Madhav to a school interview in 2013, she expected a simple conversation. Instead, an interviewer unexpectedly suggested that Madhav might be autistic (患孤独症的). At that time, Madhav couldn’t speak well, sit still, or make eye contact. Unprepared, Mugdha left in silence.
As a journalist (新闻记者), Mugdha made a life-changing decision — she took a break from work to fully focus on her son. She began learning everything she could about autism. “Autism is a less-known illness,” she says. “Autistic people often repeat behaviors to calm themselves. If my son rocks on a chair and he’s not troubling anyone, I let him be.”
Despite her efforts, people often judged her parenting (育儿). Mugdha faced unkind words but chose to stay patient. As Madhav entered his teenage years, she began keeping notes to record possible causes of his stress and encouraged him to join activities like running, swimming, and long walks.
Instead of setting traditional goals, Mugdha changed her expectations. “I didn’t push him to speak or write better. I made sure he felt comfortable in daily life and grew in his own way,” she says. Today, Madhav is more independent — he goes to school, plays sports, and helps with small tasks at home.
Mugdha co-founded (共同成立) “Not That Different”, a special movement that spreads the knowledge of autism and drives acceptance of those suffering. The group created India’s first comic strip (连环漫画) on the topic and it has reached thousands of families. Mugdha also wrote a guidebook to support parents of children with special needs.
For her, the key is acceptance. “When you stop trying to fit your child into a box, you open the door to a new world. I feel thankful to raise a child who is so loving and unique and keeps progressing,” she says. “The world doesn’t need him to fit in. It needs to grow bigger.”
1.What caused Mugdha to leave the school interview in silence?
A.Her not knowing about her son’s condition. B.Her regret at her son’s performance.
C.Her failure to express herself properly. D.Her poor preparation for the questions.
2.What can be learned from Mugdha’s words in paragraph 2?
A.She tries to create shared family time. B.She considers safety in play important.
C.She values communication in treating autism. D.She shows an understanding of autistic behaviors.
3.What did Mugdha focus on in her parenting?
A.Designing fun family sports. B.Working together with the educators.
C.Creating a supportive environment. D.Reflecting on daily mistakes regularly.
4.What does the special movement aim to do?
A.Popularize modern parenting methods. B.Encourage a better awareness of autism.
C.Develop artistic talents in autistic youth. D.Help kids with special needs start hobbies.
【答案】1.A 2.D 3.C 4.B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Mugdha因儿子被诊断为自闭症患者而投身学习,通过接纳与支持帮助其成长,并发起运动提升社会对自闭症的认知,倡导“世界应包容差异”的理念。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段中“Instead, an interviewer unexpectedly suggested that Madhav might be autistic (患孤独症的). At that time, Madhav couldn’t speak well, sit still, or make eye contact. Unprepared, Mugdha left in silence. (相反,一位采访者出人意料地暗示Madhav可能患有自闭症。那时,Madhav不能很好地说话,无法安静地坐着,也不能和别人眼神交流。Mugdha毫无准备,默默地离开了)”可知,Mugdha当时不了解儿子的状况,因此沉默离场。故选A项。
2.推理判断题。根据第二段中Mugdha所说的话“Autism is a less-known illness (自闭症是一种鲜为人知的疾病)”和“Autistic people often repeat behaviors to calm themselves. If my son rocks on a chair and he’s not troubling anyone, I let him be. (自闭症患者常通过重复行为平静情绪。若儿子摇晃椅子但不打扰他人,我会顺其自然)”可知,Mugdha了解自闭症的病情,并接纳儿子的行为,体现出对儿子患病行为的理解。故选D项。
3.推理判断题。根据第三段中“As Madhav entered his teenage years, she began keeping notes to record possible causes of his stress and encouraged him to join activities like running, swimming, and long walks. (当Madhav进入青少年时期时,她开始记笔记,记录可能导致他压力的原因,并鼓励他参加跑步、游泳和长距离散步等活动)”和第四段中“I didn’t push him to speak or write better. I made sure he felt comfortable in daily life and grew in his own way (我没有强迫他更好地说话或写作。我确保他在日常生活中感到舒适,并以自己的方式成长)”可知,Mugdha关注儿子的行为,鼓励他参加多种体育活动,注重他的舒适感和自主成长,这些是在营造支持性环境。故选C项。
4.细节理解题。根据第五段中“Mugdha co-founded (共同成立) “Not That Different”, a special movement that spreads the knowledge of autism and drives acceptance of those suffering. (Mugdha共同创立了“没有那么不同”,这是一项特别的运动,旨在传播有关自闭症的知识,并推动人们接纳自闭症患者)”可知,该运动的目标是提升大家对自闭症的认知,促进对患病人群的接纳。故选B项。
Passage 5
When I was in middle school, I met my English literature teacher, who was new to teaching. She was only 22 but she always did her best to make learning fun. She would give us a special mini-notebook for every student’s birthday. I had this simple small notebook. She had filled the first few pages telling me how much she loved having me as a student, how far she knew I would go, and other affirmations. It seemed small but for a 13-year-old child who had a hard home life, it meant a lot!
In my junior year of high school, in one English class, we were discussing a story when one student called Carl made a comment. The teacher was dismissive (不屑一顾的) and said Carl was wrong. The next day, the teacher said he was wrong to dismiss what Carl said so quickly. “Let’s take a look at that again.” After the discussion, it became clear that Carl’s comment was indeed unreasonable, but I was impressed that the teacher recognized his mistake publicly and did what he should.
When I was in Grade One, my mother gave me one really odd haircut. On the first day back at school, the kids laughed at me, so I ran out and hid. The headmaster found me and took me back. He asked me to wait outside for a minute while he talked to the class. The next day, we had a meeting with the whole school and he walked up on the stage with all his hair cut and criticized (批评) the bad behavior.
Twenty years later, I met him at the local college. I thought he didn’t remember me, but he said my name and the event. He was and is a hero in my eyes.
1.What does the underlined word “affirmations” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.Orders. B.Suggestions.
C.Encouragements. D.Descriptions.
2.What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A.Carl read a new story to the class before discussion.
B.The author was impressed by the teacher’s teaching method.
C.The English teacher made an immediate apology to Carl in class.
D.Carl’s comment wasn’t paid much attention by the teacher at first.
3.Which of the following best describes the headmaster?
A.Honest and brave. B.Patient and organized.
C.Funny and strict. D.Kind and respectable.
4.Where can you probably read this passage?
A.In a life column. B.In science fiction.
C.In a fashion magazine. D.In a guidebook.
【答案】1.C 2.D 3.D 4.A
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过回忆作者学生时代的三位老师(英语文学老师、高中英语老师、校长)的具体事例,阐述了老师对学生产生的深远影响。
1.词句猜测题。根据第一段中“She had filled the first few pages telling me how much she loved having me as a student, how far she knew I would go, and other affirmations. It seemed small but for a 13-year-old child who had a hard home life, it meant a lot!(她在前几页写满了她多么喜欢我作为她的学生,她知道我能走多远,以及其他 affirmations。这些话看似平常,但对一个时年十三、家境艰难的孩子而言,却有着千钧之重)”可知,老师在笔记本前几页写满了对作者的喜爱和对他未来的期待等内容,这些话语对家境艰难的作者来说意义重大。由此推知,老师写的都是鼓励学生的话语,让作者在逆境看到了希望。所以划线词affirmations的意思是“肯定、鼓励”,与C项“Encouragements”同义。故选C项。
2.细节理解题。根据第二段中“In my junior year of high school, in one English class, we were discussing a story when one student called Carl made a comment. The teacher was dismissive (不屑一顾的) and said Carl was wrong. The next day, the teacher said he was wrong to dismiss what Carl said so quickly.(高二那年英语课上,我们正讨论一篇小说,一位名叫Carl的同学发表了见解。老师当时不以为然地驳回了他的观点。次日,这位老师主动承认错误,表示自己不该如此草率地否定Carl的想法)”可知,老师最初没有重视Carl的观点。故选D项。
3.推理判断题。根据第三段中“When I was in Grade One, my mother gave me one really odd haircut. On the first day back at school, the kids laughed at me, so I ran out and hid. The headmaster found me and took me back. He asked me to wait outside for a minute while he talked to the class. The next day, we had a meeting with the whole school and he walked up on the stage with all his hair cut and criticized (批评) the bad behavior.(一年级时,母亲给我理了个特别古怪的发型。开学第一天,同学们都嘲笑我,我直接冲出教室躲了起来。校长找到我,把我带回学校。他让我在教室外稍等,自己先进去和全班谈了话。第二天全校集会时,他竟剃光头发走上讲台,严厉批评了这种欺凌行为)”可知,作者因发型受到同学们的嘲笑,校长带头剪掉头发并公开批评这些学生的行为,既体现了他对学生的关爱,也展现了他值得尊敬的品格。故选D项。
4.推理判断题。根据全文内容,结合第一段中“When I was in middle school, I met my English literature teacher, who was new to teaching.(当我上中学的时候,我遇到了我的英语文学老师,她刚开始教书)”、第二段中“In my junior year of high school, in one English class, we were discussing a story when one student called Carl made a comment.(在我高中三年级的一节英语课上,我们正在讨论一个故事,这时一个叫卡尔的学生发表了评论)”和第三段中“When I was in Grade One, my mother gave me one really odd haircut. On the first day back at school, the kids laughed at me, so I ran out and hid.(我上一年级的时候,妈妈给我剪了一个很奇怪的发型。回到学校的第一天,孩子们嘲笑我,所以我跑出去躲了起来)”可知,作者回忆了学生时代的生活和老师们的影响,属于个人生活经历分享,最可能出现在生活专栏中。故选A项。

【答案】范文:
Dear Tom,
How is everything going? I’m writing to tell you about my new life in senior high school.
Life here is quite different. We have more subjects and the teachers encourage us to be independent. I’ve also made some new friends. However, I faced a challenge too. I found it hard to balance study and club activities. To solve this, I made a detailed schedule and stuck to it. Now I feel less anxious.
I believe the next three years will be challenging but wonderful. I hope to learn more and make lasting memories.
Looking forward to your reply.

【答案】One possible version
Dear Eric,
I’m glad to receive your email asking for advice on choosing school clubs.
Since you’re new to high school, I think you should first consider your interests. If you like communicating with others, the English Club would be a good choice because it can improve your language skills through different activities like debates and speech contests. If you enjoy sports, the Basketball Club is perfect as it helps you stay healthy and make friends.
Don’t worry about making the wrong choice. Many clubs allow you to try out for a few weeks. I hope you can find a club that suits you and have a great time in high school!
Yours,
Li Hua

【答案】Dear Peter,
Sorry to hear that you have faced such tough situations, I’m writing to deliver some advice.
Speaking of the first situation, I totally understand the loneliness of not knowing anybody in the new class, because I just went through the similar difficulty. To get rid of the bad feeling, I suggest that you should give your classmate a hand when they need it! Only in this way can you earn yourself opportunities to meet new friends. When it comes to the pressure caused by poor grades, remember to believe in your hard work. It is wise of you to consider each test a process to learn from your mistakes. Why not apply yourself to taking down notes carefully and ask teachers for help immediately? It will help you to master daily knowledge effectively.
I hope the suggestions above can benefit you. Contact me if you have other problems. We can handle them together!
Yours,
Li Hua

【答案】Dear Jack,
I’m sorry to hear you’re struggling with your new senior high life. Don’t worry too much — starting a new school is tricky for everyone at first. New classmates, more courses, and different rules can feel overwhelming, but this unease will pass before you know it.
To help you settle in better, I’ve got a few practical suggestions to share. For a smoother study routine, start by making a simple study plan: list daily tasks like math exercises or English reading, so you won’t feel lost in homework. When it comes to making friends and fitting in, joining a club or sports activity works wonders — maybe the football team or art club? It’s easy to bond with people who share your interests there. Besides that, don’t overlook small, friendly gestures: just say “hi” to your deskmate sometimes, or share a pencil — these little acts can soon turn into new friendships.
I truly believe that you’ll get used to everything soon. Looking forward to hearing all about your happy school days ahead!
Yours,
Li Hua

Passage 1
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。
From the first day he entered the classroom, Carol existed (存在) in his own world, shutting out his classmates and teachers. His math teacher Miss Smith tried to build a friendly relationship with him, but it was useless. Carol seemed to have no desire or need to break his silence (沉默).
Soon after the Thanksgiving holiday, the school held the yearly Christmas collection of money for the poor people in the school.
“Christmas is a season of giving,” Miss Smith told her students. “There are a few students in the school who might not have a happy holiday season. By contributing to our Christmas collection, you will help buy food, clothing and toys for these needy people. We will start the collection tomorrow.”
When Miss Smith called for the contributions the next day, she discovered that almost everyone had forgotten except for Carol. The boy dug deep into his pants pockets as he walked slowly to Miss Smith’s desk. Carefully, he dropped two coins into the small box.
“I don’t need milk for lunch,” he said in a low voice. For a moment, just a moment, he smiled. Then he turned and walked back to his desk. That night, after school, Miss Smith took their few contributions to the school principal (校长). She couldn’t help sharing the thing.
“I may be wrong, but I believe Carol might be getting ready to become a part of the world around him,” Miss Smith told the principal.
“Yes,” he nodded. “And we might do well to have him share a bit of his world with us. I just received a list of the poor families in our school who most need help. Here, take a look at it.”
As Miss Smith began to read, she discovered Carol and his family were the top names on the list. Seeing this, she was surprised and decided to do something for him.
注意:

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】【参考范文】
Miss Smith went to visit Carol’s family later that day. Entering his house, Miss Smith was surprised to find there was only one room with a small bed and an old sofa. Carol was doing his homework on the sofa and his grandma was in bed. Obviously, they were leading a very hard life. When asked why he had given the two coins, he said, “There are people poorer than me, so I just want to give them some help.” Hearing his words, she couldn’t help bursting into tears.
The next day, Miss Smith had a special class for Carol. She didn’t mention Carol’s family situation publicly, but held up the two coins and told the whole class that Carol’s quiet kindness was the most precious Christmas gift they had received. All the students clapped warmly, and they walked over to put their own small handmade Christmas cards on Carol’s desk. For the first time since he came to this class, Carol looked up, his eyes glistening, and said a soft “thank you” out loud. The thick wall of silence that had wrapped around him for months finally crumbled.

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。
The first time I attended my son’s parent-teacher meeting was in third grade. I was rushing from the seafood market, and my clothes were dirty because of fish and other sea food. Even though I took a taxi, I still arrived late. I was laughed at by some parents and kids for my poor look. I met some uncomfortable looks, and with a sense of sadness and pity, I walked to his seat. My son, on the other hand, cleaned the sweat (汗水) from my forehead and handed me his little water bottle, saying, “Mummy, have some water!” In a flash, his thoughtfulness impressed so many people.
After the parent-teacher meeting, my son’s teacher asked me to stay back a while longer, but he explained why I had to leave early. “My mother has to go home to cook for my grandparents, so can she leave first? I’ll tell her everything you have to say when I come home, and I promise I won’t miss a word!”
The teacher said, “There are more than 40 children in the class, and your son Han Liu is heartbreaking to me; he is so understanding and helpful. Can a child like this not be successful in the future? You must be a great example in your family.” I shook the teacher’s hand and held it as I explained. “Han Liu’s father was hit in a car accident, and both of his grandparents are on the bed all year round, so I can’t take care of Han Liu at all. Since he could walk, he has been caring for his grandpa, grandma and father.” The teacher was so amazed.

二、阅读理解
Passage 1
Thirteen-year-old Kaylee has a lot of friends — 532, actually, if you count up her online friends. And she spends a lot of time with them.
But is it possible that Kaylee’s online friendships could be making her lonely? That’s what some experts believe. Connecting online is a great way to stay in touch, they say. However, some experts worry that many kids are so busy connecting online that they might be missing out on true friendships.
Could this be true? During your parents’ childhoods, connecting with friends usually meant spending time with them in the flesh. Kids played scrabble around a table, not Words With Friends on their phones. When friends missed each other, they picked up the telephone. Friends might even write letters to each other.
Today, most communication takes place online. A typical teen sends 2, 000 texts a month and spends more than 44 hours per week in front of a screen. Much of this time is spent on social media platforms (平台).
In fact, in many ways, online communication can make friendships stronger. “There’s definitely a positive influence. Kids can stay in constant contact, which means they can share more of their feelings with each other,” says Katie David, co-author of The Ape Generation.
Other experts, however, warn that too much online communication can get in the way of forming deep friendships. “If we are constantly checking in with our virtual worlds, we will have little time for our real-world friendships.” says Larry Rosen, a professor at California State University. Rosen also worries that today’s kids might mistake the “friends” on the social media for true friends in life. However, in tough times, you don’t need someone to like your picture or share your blogs. You need someone who will keep your secrets and hold your hand. You would like to talk face to face.
1.What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A.To summarize the text. B.To tell about true friends.
C.To bring up a discussion. D.To encourage online friendship.
2.What does the underlined part “in the flesh” mean in Paragraph 3?
A.In person. B.In advance. C.In any case. D.In silence.
3.What is Katie’s attitude towards online communication?
A.Worried. B.Positive. C.Confused. D.Unconcerned.
4.What view does Rosen hold?
A.It’s wise to turn to friends online. B.It’s easier to develop friendships in reality.
C.Social media help people stay closely connected. D.Teenagers need focus on real-world friendships.
Passage 2
At St. Francis High School in La Canada, Calif, there’s something to be said about math teacher Jim Connor.
The truth is, Connor can be a bit of a drudge. But the 70-year-old man says he’s not here to entertain his students. “It drives me crazy when people say school should be fun,” he says. “I mean, it’s nice if it could be, but you can’t make school fun.”
And for years, the kids thought that’s all there was to him—until last November, when senior Pat McGoldrick learned they didn’t know the half of him.
Pat was in charge of a student blood drive and had just come to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles for a meeting. And he says it was strange: whenever he told someone he went to St. Francis High School, they all said, “Oh, you must know Jim Connor. Isn’t he wonderful?”
“It was disbelief, really,” Pat says. “It was almost kind of finding this alter ego (另一面) that he has.” Inside the blood donor center, Pat found a plaque (匾牌) listing all the top blood donors at the hospital, including the record holder, Jim Connor. Then he learned something even more unbelievable: whenever Connor isn’t torturing kids with calculus (微积分), he’s cuddling (拥抱) sick babies. Three days a week for the past 20 years, Jim has volunteered at the hospital, stepping in to become involved in an activity when parents can’t, to hold, feed and comfort the children when their parents can’t do that.
“They tend to calm for him,” Nurse Erin says. “They tend to relax with him. They fall asleep with him.”
“I just like them and relate to them somehow,” Connor says.
Connor has never been married; he has no kids of his own. But he has fallen hard for these babies.
“I’ve always respected him, but now it’s to an even different degree—really to the point where I try to follow his example,” Pat says. “He’s the epitome (典范) of a man of service.”
1.What do we learn from paragraph 2?
A.School can never be fun B.Connor thinks education is for all.
C.Connor’s students drive him crazy. D.Connor is highly demanding.
2.What did Pat find out about Mr Connor?
A.Mr Connor used to be a very strict teacher.
B.Mr Connor donated blood as well as his time.
C.Mr Connor had a unique teaching philosophy.
D.Mr Connor was awarded for his love toward babies.
3.Which of the following is true about Mr. Connor?
A.He works two shifts every day for a living.
B.He has the ability to connect with those kids he holds.
C.He has his alter ego in the eyes of his students all the time.
D.He falls hard for those sick kids so he decided not to have his own.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A.Tough teacher has a soft heart B.Bonding with babies in need of love
C.Everybody keeps something under his hat D.A real lesson is life through learning calculus
Passage 3
A quiet space is often considered important for achieving the concentration, or focus, that leads to academic (学术的) success. But research shows that some students may benefit from breaking the silence with certain kinds of music while they study. Music has a powerful influence on both the body and the brain, in ways that can help students navigate the physical and emotional barriers that come with academic challenges.
One US study compared students who took a test to soft music with those who took the test under silent conditions. The study found that students taking a test to music not only completed more questions within a set time but also answered more questions correctly. Music has been further linked to improvements in memory and recall. Experts have found that when music stimulates mood (情绪) and motivation, students are able to learn more and to better demonstrate (展现) their knowledge.
A bit of mood music affects more than just memory and recall when students hit the books. Music can also relieve stress related to school. Scientists have learned that music engages the autonomic nervous system (自主神经系统), which not only controls the unconscious functions of the body but also influences emotions (情感). So it’s no surprise that researchers from the Group Health Research Institute concluded that certain kinds of background music can be just as effective at reducing stress as a massage (按摩). Furthermore, while the brain feels better with music, the body may as well. Research shows that certain types of music can make physical pain feel less intense. What’s more, calming music with a steady, meditative rhythm can help people sleep longer and more deeply.
However, some educators express concern that listening to music while trying to concentrate may do more harm than good. Loud music may have a negative influence on a student’s mood or act as a distraction.
Actually, the best approach (方法) may depend on the students themselves. Listening to music during study time may not mean a guaranteed (保证的) A for all students, but those who find it helpful should be allowed to plug in their headphones (耳机).
1.What does the underlined word “stimulates” in the second paragraph probably mean?
A.Reduces. B.Inspires. C.Describes. D.Changes.
2.According to the passage, music can ________.
A.cure physical pain. B.control body movements.
C.guarantee academic success. D.improve brain functions.
3.How does the author write this passage mainly?
A.By presenting facts. B.By comparing students.
C.By listing numbers. D.By giving examples.
4.What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.The way to listen to music. B.The harm of using headphones.
C.The advice on what to do. D.The approaches of the researches.
Passage 4
When Mugdha Kalra took her four-and-a-half-year-old son Madhav to a school interview in 2013, she expected a simple conversation. Instead, an interviewer unexpectedly suggested that Madhav might be autistic (患孤独症的). At that time, Madhav couldn’t speak well, sit still, or make eye contact. Unprepared, Mugdha left in silence.
As a journalist (新闻记者), Mugdha made a life-changing decision — she took a break from work to fully focus on her son. She began learning everything she could about autism. “Autism is a less-known illness,” she says. “Autistic people often repeat behaviors to calm themselves. If my son rocks on a chair and he’s not troubling anyone, I let him be.”
Despite her efforts, people often judged her parenting (育儿). Mugdha faced unkind words but chose to stay patient. As Madhav entered his teenage years, she began keeping notes to record possible causes of his stress and encouraged him to join activities like running, swimming, and long walks.
Instead of setting traditional goals, Mugdha changed her expectations. “I didn’t push him to speak or write better. I made sure he felt comfortable in daily life and grew in his own way,” she says. Today, Madhav is more independent — he goes to school, plays sports, and helps with small tasks at home.
Mugdha co-founded (共同成立) “Not That Different”, a special movement that spreads the knowledge of autism and drives acceptance of those suffering. The group created India’s first comic strip (连环漫画) on the topic and it has reached thousands of families. Mugdha also wrote a guidebook to support parents of children with special needs.
For her, the key is acceptance. “When you stop trying to fit your child into a box, you open the door to a new world. I feel thankful to raise a child who is so loving and unique and keeps progressing,” she says. “The world doesn’t need him to fit in. It needs to grow bigger.”
1.What caused Mugdha to leave the school interview in silence?
A.Her not knowing about her son’s condition. B.Her regret at her son’s performance.
C.Her failure to express herself properly. D.Her poor preparation for the questions.
2.What can be learned from Mugdha’s words in paragraph 2?
A.She tries to create shared family time. B.She considers safety in play important.
C.She values communication in treating autism. D.She shows an understanding of autistic behaviors.
3.What did Mugdha focus on in her parenting?
A.Designing fun family sports. B.Working together with the educators.
C.Creating a supportive environment. D.Reflecting on daily mistakes regularly.
4.What does the special movement aim to do?
A.Popularize modern parenting methods. B.Encourage a better awareness of autism.
C.Develop artistic talents in autistic youth. D.Help kids with special needs start hobbies.
Passage 5
When I was in middle school, I met my English literature teacher, who was new to teaching. She was only 22 but she always did her best to make learning fun. She would give us a special mini-notebook for every student’s birthday. I had this simple small notebook. She had filled the first few pages telling me how much she loved having me as a student, how far she knew I would go, and other affirmations. It seemed small but for a 13-year-old child who had a hard home life, it meant a lot!
In my junior year of high school, in one English class, we were discussing a story when one student called Carl made a comment. The teacher was dismissive (不屑一顾的) and said Carl was wrong. The next day, the teacher said he was wrong to dismiss what Carl said so quickly. “Let’s take a look at that again.” After the discussion, it became clear that Carl’s comment was indeed unreasonable, but I was impressed that the teacher recognized his mistake publicly and did what he should.
When I was in Grade One, my mother gave me one really odd haircut. On the first day back at school, the kids laughed at me, so I ran out and hid. The headmaster found me and took me back. He asked me to wait outside for a minute while he talked to the class. The next day, we had a meeting with the whole school and he walked up on the stage with all his hair cut and criticized (批评) the bad behavior.
Twenty years later, I met him at the local college. I thought he didn’t remember me, but he said my name and the event. He was and is a hero in my eyes.

B.The author was impressed by the teacher’s teaching method.

3.Which of the following best describes the headmaster?

C.Funny and strict. D.Kind and respectable.

Passage 1
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。
From the first day he entered the classroom, Carol existed (存在) in his own world, shutting out his classmates and teachers. His math teacher Miss Smith tried to build a friendly relationship with him, but it was useless. Carol seemed to have no desire or need to break his silence (沉默).
Soon after the Thanksgiving holiday, the school held the yearly Christmas collection of money for the poor people in the school.
“Christmas is a season of giving,” Miss Smith told her students. “There are a few students in the school who might not have a happy holiday season. By contributing to our Christmas collection, you will help buy food, clothing and toys for these needy people. We will start the collection tomorrow.”
When Miss Smith called for the contributions the next day, she discovered that almost everyone had forgotten except for Carol. The boy dug deep into his pants pockets as he walked slowly to Miss Smith’s desk. Carefully, he dropped two coins into the small box.
“I don’t need milk for lunch,” he said in a low voice. For a moment, just a moment, he smiled. Then he turned and walked back to his desk. That night, after school, Miss Smith took their few contributions to the school principal (校长). She couldn’t help sharing the thing.
“I may be wrong, but I believe Carol might be getting ready to become a part of the world around him,” Miss Smith told the principal.
“Yes,” he nodded. “And we might do well to have him share a bit of his world with us. I just received a list of the poor families in our school who most need help. Here, take a look at it.”
As Miss Smith began to read, she discovered Carol and his family were the top names on the list. Seeing this, she was surprised and decided to do something for him.

The first time I attended my son’s parent-teacher meeting was in third grade. I was rushing from the seafood market, and my clothes were dirty because of fish and other sea food. Even though I took a taxi, I still arrived late. I was laughed at by some parents and kids for my poor look. I met some uncomfortable looks, and with a sense of sadness and pity, I walked to his seat. My son, on the other hand, cleaned the sweat (汗水) from my forehead and handed me his little water bottle, saying, “Mummy, have some water!” In a flash, his thoughtfulness impressed so many people.
After the parent-teacher meeting, my son’s teacher asked me to stay back a while longer, but he explained why I had to leave early. “My mother has to go home to cook for my grandparents, so can she leave first? I’ll tell her everything you have to say when I come home, and I promise I won’t miss a word!”
The teacher said, “There are more than 40 children in the class, and your son Han Liu is heartbreaking to me; he is so understanding and helpful. Can a child like this not be successful in the future? You must be a great example in your family.” I shook the teacher’s hand and held it as I explained. “Han Liu’s father was hit in a car accident, and both of his grandparents are on the bed all year round, so I can’t take care of Han Liu at all. Since he could walk, he has been caring for his grandpa, grandma and father.” The teacher was so amazed.
