Starting high school can be difficult.
Everyone is nervous and nobody knows where to go for classes. Thinking about making new friends might make you feel nervous, too. But don’t worry. You are not alone. You are going to school with a group of students who are also your age, and we have several tips to share.
Forget your fear and just talk to someone.It might be easier said than done, but try to take a deep breath and voice. Don’t be afraid to approach people. Introduce yourself and start a conversation about something you have in common. Sit in the middle of the classroom with as many new friends around you as possible.
Join clubs.
Join after-school activities that interest you and make friends in the club. If you don’t join anything, you will be just going to class and then going home. Being in a club forces you to be more social.

Be respectful of people’s differences.
Everyone has his or her own opinion about the world and everyone believes in different things. It’s a good thing to have friends with different opinions because you can each share your own.

School days are supposed to be the best days of your life and part of that experience usually involves some unforgettable physical activities. I asked some people to give me their memories of what happened to them on the sports field and beyond, and this is what they told me.
Cup winners
When I was about ten, the football team from our year unexplainably made it to the cup final of the local schools’ league. I say unexplainably because I only remember us losing nearly every match we played. Anyway, in the final I set up the winning goal, a brilliant cross to my mate David who headed the ball in just before the final whistle. I still have a photograph of the team holding the cup.
Forest hike
I remember having to lead a group of eight boys on a school expedition for the best part of two days when I was a teenager. Even though we got lost at one point, I managed to keep them all together and get them from one end of a large forest to the other and back by sheer(纯粹的) force of will. I was chosen to be the leader, I think, because I was the only one who knew how to read a map!
When we arrived back at the campsite, we found out that all the other groups had cheated and hitched(搭便车) most of the way instead… I felt a bit stupid, but also rather proud of myself at the same time for having done it properly.
Learning to swim, learning to drown
I learned to swim comparatively late, I suppose. I was maybe nine years old but my brother had a painful experience which nearly put him off for life. We lived in the USA for a while and had access to a university pool where the coaches had trained the American Olympic team. In those days, though, their idea of teaching kids how to swim was to tie a can to their ankles with a bit of string, throw them in the deep end and shout “Swim!”. I am surprised my brother survived at all. He could only have been about six at the time.
4. The passage mainly talks about ________.
A. tips on taking part in outdoor activities
B. how people consider physical activities
C. why people love outdoor activities
D. people’s experiences of physical activities
5. What did the first person do in the school’s cup final?
A. He scored the winning goal.
B. He provided the pass for the final goal.
C. He blew the whistle at eh end of the game.
D. He lost every game in the season.
6. The underlined word “expedition” in the third paragraph has the same meaning to “________”.
A. match B. deal C. trip D. research
7. It can be learned that when the third person was young, ________.
A. he learned swimming from the same coach as his elder brother
B. the swimming coach’s teaching method was rather inconsiderate
C. his family lived near a university pool for about ten years
D. the American Olympic team had no swimming pool of its own
C
A California-based nonprofit is searching to build an AI language that allows humans more deeply understand non-human languages to help change our ecological impact on our Earth.
Aza Raskin is the co-founder and president of the Earth Species Project (ESP), a non-profit that uses a form of artificial intelligence (AI) to translate non-human languages. ESP wants to use its machine learning technology to translate and make this vital information widely available (可得到的) to the public.
Raskin emphasized their goal to help conservation by explaining, “The end we are working towards is, can we decode animal communication, discover the non-human language. Along the way and equally important is that we are developing technology that supports biologists and conservation now,” ESP believes that understanding languages can help deepen our relationship with animals and allow us to more efficiently protect them.
In the past, understanding the communication of animals was based on long and boring observation. From primate calls of alarms to dolphin whistles, scientists have been fascinated by the different forms of non-human communication present in these animals. With the development of new technologies, researchers have now begun to understand the huge amounts of data available through machine learning.
Elodie Briefer, an associate professor at the University of Copenhagen, has recently helped co-develop a pig grunt analyzing software that helps scientists understand whether the pigs are expressing positive or negative emotions. In contrast, ESP is approaching decoding differently, by focusing on all species, not just one. The Earth Species Project believes that there is a likelihood that social species communicate with each other, for instance, whales and dolphins.
Although the Earth Species Project believe that understanding AI machine learning data is only one step to full communication, they are hopeful that one day we will be able to understand entire systems of communication.
8. According to Aza Raskin, the goal of Earth Species Project is ________.
A. to develop flee advanced AI technology for everyone
B. to communicate with animals such as whales and dolphins
C. to provide information of animal species for the public
D. to help conserve animals by understanding their languages
9. According to the article, the methods scientists have used to discover the communication of animals do NOT include ________.
A. spending a lot of time observing animal communications
B. using a form of artificial intelligence to translate animal languages
C. developing a software to analyze a pig’s emotions through its grunts
D. playing recordings of animal sounds to communicate with other social animals
10. Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the article?
A. ESP aims to provide free translation service for the public through advanced artificial intelligence technologies.
B. Machine learning has made it possible for researchers to understand huge amount of data about animal communication.
C. Elodie Briefer has helped develop a software which is exactly what ESP needs to decode animal language.
D. Researchers in the Earth Species Project believe that all species on earth can communicate with one another.
11. What is probably the best title for the text?
A. Artificial Intelligence and Its Impact on Society
B. The Ambition of Earth Species Project
C. AI Technology Helps Understand Animal Languages
D. Save the Animals and Their Languages
D
Researchers have developed a new soft robot design that conducts itself with three behaviours at the same time: rolling (翻滚) forward. turning like a record and following a path that goes around a central point. The equipment, which operates without human or computer control, holds promise for developing soft robots that can be used to AA-head and map unknown environments.
The new soft robots are called twisted ring-bots (扭曲环机器人). They are made of something like a ribbon (缎带) and then joined together at the end to form a ring.
When the robots are placed on a surface that is at least 55 degrees Celsius, which is hotter than the surrounding air, one part of the ribbon touching the surface becomes smaller, while one part in the air does not. This induces a rolling movement: the warmer the surface, the faster the robot rolls. “The ribbon rolls on its horizontal axis (横轴), giving the ring forward strength,” says Jie Yin, a professor of mechanical and acrospace engineering.
The twisted ring-bot also turns along its central axis. And as the twisted ring-bot moves forward it travels in a path around a central point, basically moving in a large circle. However, if the twisted ring-bot meets a boundary — like the wall of a box — it will travel along the boundary.
The twisted ring-bots are examples of equipment whose behaviour is governed by physical intelligence, meaning their actions are determined by their structural design and the materials they are made of, rather than being directed by a computer or human.
“Soft robotics is still a relatively new field.” Yin says. “Finding new ways to control the movement of soft robots in a repeatable and engineered way moves the field forward. And advancing our understanding of what is possible is exciting.”
12. What makes the robot roll faster and faster?
A. The ribbon. B. The central axis.
C. The shape and material. D. The higher surface temperature.
13. How does the author introduce the new soft robots?
A. By explaining the robot’s working ways. B. By quoting experts’ opinions.
C. By making some comparisons. D. By offering reasons and results.
14. What is Yin’s attitude towards twisted ring- bots?
A. Unclear. B. Favourable. C. Negative. D. Doubtful.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. The New Soft Robots B. Ribbons and Their Rolling
C. Three Creative Movements D. Twisted Rings and the Axis

A California-based nonprofit is searching to build an AI language that allows humans more deeply understand non-human languages to help change our ecological impact on our Earth.
Aza Raskin is the co-founder and president of the Earth Species Project (ESP), a non-profit that uses a form of artificial intelligence (AI) to translate non-human languages. ESP wants to use its machine learning technology to translate and make this vital information widely available (可得到的) to the public.
Raskin emphasized their goal to help conservation by explaining, “The end we are working towards is, can we decode animal communication, discover the non-human language. Along the way and equally important is that we are developing technology that supports biologists and conservation now,” ESP believes that understanding languages can help deepen our relationship with animals and allow us to more efficiently protect them.
In the past, understanding the communication of animals was based on long and boring observation. From primate calls of alarms to dolphin whistles, scientists have been fascinated by the different forms of non-human communication present in these animals. With the development of new technologies, researchers have now begun to understand the huge amounts of data available through machine learning.
Elodie Briefer, an associate professor at the University of Copenhagen, has recently helped co-develop a pig grunt analyzing software that helps scientists understand whether the pigs are expressing positive or negative emotions. In contrast, ESP is approaching decoding differently, by focusing on all species, not just one. The Earth Species Project believes that there is a likelihood that social species communicate with each other, for instance, whales and dolphins.
Although the Earth Species Project believe that understanding AI machine learning data is only one step to full communication, they are hopeful that one day we will be able to understand entire systems of communication.
8. According to Aza Raskin, the goal of Earth Species Project is ________.
A. to develop flee advanced AI technology for everyone
B. to communicate with animals such as whales and dolphins
C. to provide information of animal species for the public
D. to help conserve animals by understanding their languages
9. According to the article, the methods scientists have used to discover the communication of animals do NOT include ________.
A. spending a lot of time observing animal communications
B. using a form of artificial intelligence to translate animal languages
C. developing a software to analyze a pig’s emotions through its grunts
D. playing recordings of animal sounds to communicate with other social animals
10. Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the article?
A. ESP aims to provide free translation service for the public through advanced artificial intelligence technologies.
B. Machine learning has made it possible for researchers to understand huge amount of data about animal communication.
C. Elodie Briefer has helped develop a software which is exactly what ESP needs to decode animal language.
D. Researchers in the Earth Species Project believe that all species on earth can communicate with one another.
11. What is probably the best title for the text?
A. Artificial Intelligence and Its Impact on Society
B. The Ambition of Earth Species Project
C. AI Technology Helps Understand Animal Languages
D. Save the Animals and Their Languages

Researchers have developed a new soft robot design that conducts itself with three behaviours at the same time: rolling (翻滚) forward. turning like a record and following a path that goes around a central point. The equipment, which operates without human or computer control, holds promise for developing soft robots that can be used to AA-head and map unknown environments.
The new soft robots are called twisted ring-bots (扭曲环机器人). They are made of something like a ribbon (缎带) and then joined together at the end to form a ring.
When the robots are placed on a surface that is at least 55 degrees Celsius, which is hotter than the surrounding air, one part of the ribbon touching the surface becomes smaller, while one part in the air does not. This induces a rolling movement: the warmer the surface, the faster the robot rolls. “The ribbon rolls on its horizontal axis (横轴), giving the ring forward strength,” says Jie Yin, a professor of mechanical and acrospace engineering.
The twisted ring-bot also turns along its central axis. And as the twisted ring-bot moves forward it travels in a path around a central point, basically moving in a large circle. However, if the twisted ring-bot meets a boundary — like the wall of a box — it will travel along the boundary.
The twisted ring-bots are examples of equipment whose behaviour is governed by physical intelligence, meaning their actions are determined by their structural design and the materials they are made of, rather than being directed by a computer or human.
“Soft robotics is still a relatively new field.” Yin says. “Finding new ways to control the movement of soft robots in a repeatable and engineered way moves the field forward. And advancing our understanding of what is possible is exciting.”
12. What makes the robot roll faster and faster?
A. The ribbon. B. The central axis.
C. The shape and material. D. The higher surface temperature.
13. How does the author introduce the new soft robots?
A. By explaining the robot’s working ways. B. By quoting experts’ opinions.
C. By making some comparisons. D. By offering reasons and results.
14. What is Yin’s attitude towards twisted ring- bots?
A. Unclear. B. Favourable. C. Negative. D. Doubtful.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. The New Soft Robots B. Ribbons and Their Rolling
C. Three Creative Movements D. Twisted Rings and the Axis
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. A
【解析】

37. The campus is much larger than I ________ (expect). I think I might get lost at first. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】had expected
【解析】
【详解】句意:校园比我原本预想的要大得多。我想我一开始可能会迷路。结合“I think I might get lost at first.”可知,此处“expect”这个动作发生在“看到校园”之前,属于过去的过去,要用过去完成时,所以谓语动词为had expected。
38. It is ________ (complete) normal to feel a bit nervous on your first day. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】completely
【解析】
【详解】句意:在第一天感到有点紧张是完全正常的。此处形容词normal前面需要副词修饰,complete是形容词,它的副词形式是completely,意为“完全地”。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章介绍了青少年时期的特点和问题,以及父母应对这些问题的策略。
【46题详解】
考查固定用法。句意:他们似乎常常不喜欢被询问。seem to do似乎,该用法是固定用法,所以填to dislike。
【47题详解】
考查固定句型。上文说他们似乎常常不喜欢被询问,所以这里意思是他们可能不愿意谈论他们在学校的学业。be unwilling to do不愿意做某事,该句型是固定句型,所以填unwilling。
【48题详解】
考查名词。句意:在这个年龄,这是正常的发展,尽管对父母来说很难理解。前面有冠词,该空用名词,所以填development。
【49题详解】
考查常见用法。句意:这是变得独立的一部分。介词之后,接v+ing形式,所以填becoming。
【50题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:如果年轻人认为提问是出于真正的兴趣,而不是因为人们想检查他们,他们通常更愿意交谈。that questions ____5____(ask) out of real interest and not because people are trying to check up on them.是一个宾语从句,描述一个客观的事实,用一般现在时,“问题”和“询问”之间是被动关系,用被动语态,所以填are asked。
【51题详解】
考查介词。句意:父母应该尽他们最大的努力和他们的儿子和女儿谈论关于他们的学业和未来的计划,但如果他们不想谈论,不应该强迫他们。文中表示“关于”,所以填about。
【52题详解】
考查连词。句意:父母应该尽他们最大的努力和他们的儿子和女儿谈论关于他们的学业和未来的计划,但如果他们不想谈论,不应该强迫他们。文中表示转折关系,所以填but。
【53题详解】
考查名词单复数。句意:当他们试图成为成年人时,青少年可能会尝试毒品、酒精或吸烟,所以父母应该仔细观察任何可能与这些有关的不寻常行为的迹象,并在必要时寻求帮助。该空作句子主语,用名词,表示“青少年”是复数意义,用名词复数,所以填teenagers。
【54题详解】
考查副词。句意:当他们试图成为成年人时,青少年可能会尝试毒品、酒精或吸烟,所以父母应该仔细观察任何可能与这些有关的不寻常行为的迹象,并在必要时寻求帮助。该空修饰动词watch,用副词,所以填carefully。
【55题详解】
考查定语从句。____10____may be connected with these是一个定语从句,先行词是any sign of unusual behavior,关系词在从句中作主语,指物,所以填which/that。
第四部分写作(共两节,满分25分)
第一节英汉互译(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
56. A thousand- mile journey begins with the first step.(英译汉)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】千里之行始于足下。
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态。A thousand-mile journey表示“千里之行”;begins with表示“始于”;the first step理解为“足下”。故翻译为:千里之行始于足下。
57. You'll never see me without a book or a pen. (英译汉)
【答案】你绝看不到我手头没有笔和书的时候。
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和介词短语。主语是you,意为“你”,谓语是will never see,意为“绝不会看到”,宾语是me,意为“我”,without a book or a pen,意为“不带笔和书”,介词短语作状语,再根据其他英文,故翻译为:你绝看不到我手头没有笔和书的时候。
58. I know I’ll have to study harder as a senior high school student and get used to being responsible for a lot more. (英译汉)
【答案】我知道作为高中生我的更加努力地学习,学会习惯承担更多的责任。
【解析】
【详解】考查短语、时态和宾语从句。分析子可知,本句是由宾语从句以及and引导的并列句,主语是I,谓语动词是由know和and并列的get used to构成,I’ll have to study harder as a senior high school student是省略that的宾语从句作know的宾语。get used to 习惯于,be responsible for...为...做准备。从句时态为一般将来时,主句为一般现在时。故本句可译为:我知道作为高中生我的更加努力地学习,学会习惯承担更多的责任。
59. 从初中到高中真是一项巨大的挑战。(汉译英)
_________________________________________
【答案】Moving from junior high to senior high is really a big challenge.
【解析】

60. 我发现加入学校的辩论俱乐部是一次既有挑战性又有价值的经历。(find it+ adj.+ to do...) (汉译英)
_________________________________________
【答案】I find it challenging and worthwhile to join the school debate club.
【解析】
【详解】“发现”表达为find,find it+ adj.+ to do...表达为“发现做某事……”;“加入学校的辩论俱乐部”表达为join the school debate club;“既有挑战性又有价值的经历”可理解为“既有挑战又有价值”,表达为challenging and worthwhile,用形容词短语作宾补。本句陈述现实情况,用一般现在时。

【答案】例文:
Dear Worried,
I’m sorry to hear that you are having such a hard time after entering senior high. It is quite common for excellent junior students to get unsatisfactory grades at the first senior high exam, so don’t doubt your own ability. Many students go through the same period.
Here are my suggestions for you. First, adjust your state of mind. High-school subjects are more difficult, so it is normal to fall behind at first. Second, analyze your exam papers carefully to find out where your weaknesses lie. You can turn to your teachers or classmates for advice. Third, keep a reasonable study plan and stick to it. Progress takes time.
Believe in yourself. You will make progress step by step.
Yours,
Jamie
