The summer before I started high school, my mind was full of worries. I had read countless articles in magazines about how challenging high school could be. The building was enormous, the classes were harder, and worst of all, I was going to be a small fish in a very big pond.
On the first morning, I stood at the gates of Oakridge High, clutching my schedule tightly. My first class was Biology in Room 302. I took a deep breath and stepped inside. The hallway was a sea of students rushing in different directions, laughing and shouting. I felt completely invisible and totally lost.
After wandering around for what felt like hours, the warning bell rang. Panic set in. I was going to be late on my very first day! Just as I was about to give up and sit on the stairs, a girl with bright blue hair walked past. She noticed my panicked expression and stopped.
“Freshman?” she asked with a kind smile. “Lost?”
I nodded helplessly. “I’m looking for Room 302.”
“Oh, you’re in the wrong wing. Science labs are in the East Building. Follow me, I’m heading that way,” she offered. As we walked, she introduced herself as Maya, a junior. She told me that she had gotten lost twice on her first day. Her words instantly made me feel better.
When I finally slipped into Room 302, the teacher hadn’t started yet. I sat down, realizing that the “scary” high school I had imagined wasn’t so bad after all. People were willing to help if you just asked. It was a new start, and I was ready for it.

Starting high school is not just a change in environment; it also brings a significant shift in a teenager’s daily routine, particularly when it comes to sleep. According to a recent article in The Guardian, the transition to senior high often means more homework, more extracurricular activities, and earlier school start times, all of which directly conflict with a teenager’s natural biological clock.
Research shows that during adolescence, the brain’s circadian rhythm (生物钟) shifts. Teenagers naturally feel awake later at night and find it difficult to wake up early in the morning. However, most high schools begin classes before 8:00 am. This mismatch between biology and school schedules leaves many students chronically sleep-deprived.
“Sleep is not a luxury; it’s a biological necessity, especially for teenagers who are undergoing significant physical and mental development,” says Dr. Sarah Johnson, a sleep researcher. Lack of sleep can negatively impact a student’s ability to concentrate, remember information, and regulate their emotions. It can also weaken the immune system, making them more likely to catch a cold.
To help freshmen adapt to this new reality, experts suggest establishing a consistent sleep schedule, even on weekends. Limiting screen time an hour before bed is also crucial, as the blue light from phones and tablets can trick the brain into thinking it’s still daytime, delaying the release of sleep hormones. Moreover, schools are being encouraged to reconsider their start times. Some schools that have delayed their morning bells by just 30 minutes have reported significant improvements in student attendance and academic performance.
8. What causes the conflict mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. Teenagers’ heavy homework load and their dislike for studying.
B. The change of school environment and teenagers’ poor immune system.
C. Teenagers’ shifted biological clock and early school start times.
D. Too many extracurricular activities and too much screen time.
9. What does Dr. Sarah Johnson imply about sleep for teenagers?
A. It is something they can adjust easily.
B. It is as important as physical exercise.
C. It is essential for their growth and health.
D. It is a luxury that few students can afford.
10. Which of the following is recommended by experts for a better sleep?
A. Using phones to relax before bed.
B. Keeping a regular sleep pattern every day.
C. Taking medicine to release sleep hormones.
D. Sleeping in late on weekends to catch up on sleep.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Teenage Brain: A Mystery
B. How to Get Good Grades in High School
C. The Importance of Extracurricular Activities
D. High School Transition: The Challenge of Sleep
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要说明了高中入学带来的睡眠挑战,分析了青少年生物钟与学校作息冲突的原因并给出建议。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“According to a recent article in The Guardian, the transition to senior high often means more homework, more extracurricular activities, and earlier school start times, all of which directly conflict with a teenager’s natural biological clock.(据《卫报》最近的一篇文章,升入高中往往意味着更多作业、更多课外活动和更早的上学时间,所有这些都与青少年的自然生物钟直接冲突。)”和第二段“Research shows that during adolescence, the brain’s circadian rhythm (生物钟) shifts. Teenagers naturally feel awake later at night and find it difficult to wake up early in the morning. However, most high schools begin classes before 8:00 am. This mismatch between biology and school schedules leaves many students chronically sleep-deprived.(研究表明,在青春期,大脑的生物钟会发生偏移。青少年自然会在夜间更晚感到清醒,并且难以在清晨早起。然而,大多数高中在上午8点之前开始上课。这种生物规律与学校作息之间的不匹配使许多学生长期睡眠不足。)”可知,第一段提到的冲突是青少年偏移的生物钟与过早的上学时间之间的矛盾。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中““Sleep is not a luxury; it’s a biological necessity, especially for teenagers who are undergoing significant physical and mental development,” says Dr. Sarah Johnson, a sleep researcher.(“睡眠不是奢侈品;它是一种生理必需,尤其是对正在经历显著身心发展的青少年来说,”睡眠研究员莎拉·约翰逊博士说。)”可知,莎拉·约翰逊博士暗示睡眠对青少年的成长和健康至关重要。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“To help freshmen adapt to this new reality, experts suggest establishing a consistent sleep schedule, even on weekends.(为了帮助新生适应这一新现实,专家建议建立一致的睡眠时间表,即使在周末也是如此。)”可知,专家建议每天保持规律的睡眠模式。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段中“Starting high school is not just a change in environment; it also brings a significant shift in a teenager’s daily routine, particularly when it comes to sleep.(开始上高中不仅是环境的改变;它还带来青少年日常作息的重大变化,尤其是在睡眠方面。)”以及最后一段中“To help freshmen adapt to this new reality, experts suggest establishing a consistent sleep schedule, even on weekends.(为了帮助新生适应这一新现实,专家建议建立一致的睡眠时间表,即使在周末也是如此。)”可知,全文围绕高中过渡期带来的睡眠挑战展开,D项“High School Transition: The Challenge of Sleep(高中过渡:睡眠的挑战)”最能概括文章内容,适合做文章标题。

When we talk about a “new start” in high school, much of the focus is naturally placed on academics. Parents and teachers often emphasize the importance of getting good grades and preparing for college from day one. However, an increasingly prominent view in educational journals like The New York Times Learning Network suggests that what students do outside the classroom is just as crucial for their long-term success and personal development.
Joining clubs, participating in sports, or volunteering in the community offers students opportunities to step out of their comfort zones. These extracurricular activities are not merely a way to make a college application look good; they are essential platforms for developing “soft skills” that traditional classrooms sometimes fail to teach.
Through these activities, students learn teamwork, leadership, and time management. For example, working on the school newspaper teaches students how to meet deadlines and communicate effectively, while playing on a sports team builds resilience and the ability to handle both victory and defeat. Furthermore, extracurriculars provide a sense of belonging. High school can be overwhelming, and finding a smaller community of peers who share similar interests can significantly reduce anxiety and help freshmen adapt more smoothly.
Of course, this doesn’t mean academics should be ignored. The key is balance. Students are encouraged to explore their interests early in their high school career but should avoid overloading their schedules. Choosing one or two activities they are truly passionate about is far more beneficial than joining five clubs just for the sake of it. Ultimately, high school is a time of self-discovery, and true education happens both inside and outside the classroom.
12. What do parents and teachers usually focus on when students start high school?
A. Soft skills development. B. Extracurricular activities.
C. Academic performance. D. Community volunteering.
13. Why does the author mention the school newspaper and sports teams?
A. To prove that traditional classrooms are useless.
B. To show the popularity of these activities.
C. To give examples of how extracurriculars build soft skills.
D. To encourage all freshmen to join them immediately.
14. What advice does the author give regarding extracurricular activities?
A. Join as many clubs as possible to stand out.
B. Focus on activities rather than academic studies.
C. Avoid them in the first year to reduce anxiety.
D. Strike a balance and pursue true passions.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards learning outside the classroom?
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Uncaring. D. Disapproving.
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要论述高中课外实践活动和课堂学习同等重要,课外项目可以培养软技能,学生需要平衡学业与兴趣活动。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When we talk about a “new start” in high school, much of the focus is naturally placed on academics. Parents and teachers often emphasize the importance of getting good grades and preparing for college from day one.(当我们谈起高中的“新起点”时,大家的关注点自然大多放在学业上。家长和老师常常从入学第一天就强调取得好成绩、为大学升学做好准备的重要性。)”可知,家长和老师通常关注学生的学业成绩。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Through these activities, students learn teamwork, leadership, and time management. For example, working on the school newspaper teaches students how to meet deadlines and communicate effectively, while playing on a sports team builds resilience and the ability to handle both victory and defeat.(通过这些活动,学生能够学会团队协作、领导力以及时间管理。例如,参与校报工作可以教会学生如何在截止日期前完成任务、高效沟通;而加入运动队能够培养抗压能力以及胜不骄、败不馁的心态。)”可知,作者列举校报和运动队,举例说明课外活动如何培养软技能。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Of course, this doesn’t mean academics should be ignored. The key is balance. Students are encouraged to explore their interests early in their high school career but should avoid overloading their schedules. Choosing one or two activities they are truly passionate about is far more beneficial than joining five clubs just for the sake of it.(当然,这并不意味着学业应当被忽视。关键在于平衡。学校鼓励学生在高中阶段尽早发掘自身兴趣,但应当避免日程安排过于繁重。选择一两项自己真正热爱的活动,远比单纯为了凑数而加入五个社团要有益得多。)”可知,作者建议学生平衡学业,追求自己真正热爱的活动。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“However, an increasingly prominent view in educational journals like The New York Times Learning Network suggests that what students do outside the classroom is just as crucial for their long-term success and personal development.(然而,《纽约时报学习网》等教育期刊上一个越来越受重视的观点提出,学生在课堂外的所作所为,对他们的长期成功与个人成长同样至关重要。)”可知,作者支持课堂之外的学习。

You are in a new building, taking harder classes, and meeting new people.(虽然令人兴奋,但也可能有些吓人。你将身处新的建筑里,学习更难的课程,并结识新朋友。)”介绍了高中新生活既令人期待又伴随不安的特点,后文则分点给出具体建议。E项“Here are some tips to help you survive and thrive in your freshman year.(这里有一些建议能帮你顺利度过高一学年、收获成长。)”承上启下,自然引出下文的多条贴士,符合总分结构的逻辑。
【17题详解】

【18题详解】
本段主旨是“Don’t be afraid to ask for help.(别怕求助。)”,前文“Teachers want to help you succeed, and upperclassmen have been in your shoes before.(老师都希望帮助你取得成功,而高年级的同学们之前也有过和你一样的经历。)”提到老师和学长都可以提供帮助。G项“Raising your hand in class or staying after school shows you care.(上课举手提问或者放学后留下来请教,能体现你在意。)”承接上文的“求助”场景,具体说明了求助的方式,同时呼应后文“越早提问越容易跟上进度”。

【20题详解】
前文“With more homework and activities, it’s easy to sacrifice sleep or skip meals.(随着作业和课外活动增多,很容易牺牲睡眠或跳过正餐。)”提到学业和活动繁忙时,人们很容易牺牲睡眠、跳过正餐;后文“A healthy body leads to a sharp mind. Make sure you get enough sleep, eat well, and find time to relax.(健康的身体带来清晰的头脑。确保你有充足的睡眠,吃得好,并留出时间放松。)”强调健康的身体的重要性,并给出健康建议。F项 “But doing so will only make you feel tired and stressed out.(但这么做只会让你疲惫不堪、压力倍增。)”指出了不良生活习惯的危害,承接前文的行为,引出后文的健康倡议,逻辑通顺。

38. called 39. who##that
40. managing
41. with 42. Although##While
43. growth 44. an
45. wonderful
【解析】
【导语】主要介绍高中迎接新生的不同传统,包括美国和德国的相关特色活动。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词/定语从句。句意:升入高中是普遍的经历,但世界各地的学校有着不同迎接新生的传统。此处可用不定式to do作后置定语修饰traditions;也可用关系代词that或which引导定语从句,指代traditions并在从句中作主语,所以此处为to/that/which。
【37题详解】
考查动词语态。句意:在许多西方国家,“全新开始”这一理念被十分看重。主语the concept和take之间为被动关系,陈述客观事实,用一般现在时的被动语态,主语是单数,所以谓语动词为is taken。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:例如,在一些美国高中,有一项名为“新生星期五”的传统。此处为非谓语动词作后置定语,call与逻辑主语tradition之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词called。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:新生通常会搭配高年级学生,这些高年级学生充当导师。此处引导定语从句,先行词older students指人,关系词在从句中作主语,使用关系代词who或that。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这些导师提供如何度过第一年的建议,从找到教室到有效管理时间。固定搭配from...to...意为“从……到……”,to为介词,后面接动名词形式,所以填managing。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意:学生会收到一个入学彩筒,这是一个装满学习用品、糖果和小礼物的大圆锥筒。固定搭配be filled with意为“装满”,所以此处为介词with。
【42题详解】
考查连词。句意:虽然这个传统在小学新生中更为常见,但一些家庭仍会为高中新生准备一个小号的彩筒。此处引导让步状语从句,表示“虽然,尽管”,使用连词although或while,位于句首,首字母需大写。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意:虽然这个传统在小学新生中更为常见,但一些家庭仍会为高中新生准备一个小号的彩筒来庆祝他们的成长。形容词性物主代词their后面接名词,grow是动词,其名词形式growth意为“成长”。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意:无论你在世界何处,高中的第一天都是一个重要的里程碑。milestone为可数名词单数,空前无限定词,所以此处使用冠词,结合句意,此处表示“一个重要的里程碑”,为泛指,且important是以元音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词an。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意:适应新环境一开始可能具有挑战性,但怀着开放的心态和积极的态度,学生可以把这个新篇章变成一场精彩的冒险。此处修饰名词adventure,要用形容词形式,wonder的形容词wonderful意为“精彩的”。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Arthur had always been a top student in middle school, but the thought of starting high school filled him with anxiety. He was worried about the heavy workload and, most importantly, making new friends. His high school was much larger than his old school, and everything seemed unfamiliar.
On the first day of school, Arthur arrived early. He had checked his schedule a dozen times: his first class was History in Room 412, located on the fourth floor of the North Building. He confidently walked up the stairs, taking in the sights and sounds of older students chatting and laughing in the hallways.
However, when he reached the fourth floor, the numbers on the doors didn’t make sense. Room 401, 403, 405... but there was no 412. He walked to the end of the hallway and turned a corner, only to find himself in a completely different wing. The bell for the first class rang loudly, echoing through the empty halls. Arthur’s heart began to race. He was going to be late on his very first day!
He hurriedly opened the nearest door and stepped inside. The classroom was quiet, and older students were sitting at their desks, staring at him. At the front of the room stood a tall teacher with glasses, holding a complicated-looking math textbook.
“Can I help you?” the teacher asked, looking at Arthur over his glasses.
Arthur’s face turned bright red. “I...I think I’m in the wrong place,” he stammered (结巴地说). “I’m looking for Room 412, History.”
Some of the older students giggled, which made Arthur want to disappear into the floor.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1: The teacher smiled gently and pointed towards the door.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: When Arthur finally arrived at Room 412, he took a deep breath before knocking on the door.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文:
The teacher smiled gently and pointed towards the door. “Don’t worry,” he said warmly. “We’ve all got lost on our first day. Your History class is in the North Building, same floor. Walk back down this hallway, turn left, and you’ll find Room 412.” Hearing his soothing voice, Arthur felt the butterflies in his stomach settle. His face, which had been burning with embarrassment, began to cool. He thanked the teacher with a respectful bow and hurried out, feeling a warm surge of relief.
When Arthur finally arrived at Room 412, he took a deep breath before knocking on the door. He stood straight and gave a light knock. As the door opened, a kind-looking teacher welcomed him with an understanding smile and gestured for him to take a seat. Arthur slipped into an empty chair next to a friendly-looking boy, who handed him a pencil with a warm grin. Looking around the bright classroom, Arthur realized high school wasn’t as terrifying as he had feared. He opened his textbook and smiled — he was ready for this new adventure.

The summer before I started high school, my mind was full of worries. I had read countless articles in magazines about how challenging high school could be. The building was enormous, the classes were harder, and worst of all, I was going to be a small fish in a very big pond.
On the first morning, I stood at the gates of Oakridge High, clutching my schedule tightly. My first class was Biology in Room 302. I took a deep breath and stepped inside. The hallway was a sea of students rushing in different directions, laughing and shouting. I felt completely invisible and totally lost.
After wandering around for what felt like hours, the warning bell rang. Panic set in. I was going to be late on my very first day! Just as I was about to give up and sit on the stairs, a girl with bright blue hair walked past. She noticed my panicked expression and stopped.
“Freshman?” she asked with a kind smile. “Lost?”
I nodded helplessly. “I’m looking for Room 302.”
“Oh, you’re in the wrong wing. Science labs are in the East Building. Follow me, I’m heading that way,” she offered. As we walked, she introduced herself as Maya, a junior. She told me that she had gotten lost twice on her first day. Her words instantly made me feel better.
When I finally slipped into Room 302, the teacher hadn’t started yet. I sat down, realizing that the “scary” high school I had imagined wasn’t so bad after all. People were willing to help if you just asked. It was a new start, and I was ready for it.
4. How did the author feel before starting high school?

C. Confident and ready. D. Bored and indifferent.
5. Why did the author feel panicked when the warning bell rang?

B. She shared her own experience of getting lost.
C. She introduced the author to other juniors.
D. She helped the author carry her heavy books.

C
Starting high school is not just a change in environment; it also brings a significant shift in a teenager’s daily routine, particularly when it comes to sleep. According to a recent article in The Guardian, the transition to senior high often means more homework, more extracurricular activities, and earlier school start times, all of which directly conflict with a teenager’s natural biological clock.
Research shows that during adolescence, the brain’s circadian rhythm (生物钟) shifts. Teenagers naturally feel awake later at night and find it difficult to wake up early in the morning. However, most high schools begin classes before 8:00 am. This mismatch between biology and school schedules leaves many students chronically sleep-deprived.
“Sleep is not a luxury; it’s a biological necessity, especially for teenagers who are undergoing significant physical and mental development,” says Dr. Sarah Johnson, a sleep researcher. Lack of sleep can negatively impact a student’s ability to concentrate, remember information, and regulate their emotions. It can also weaken the immune system, making them more likely to catch a cold.
To help freshmen adapt to this new reality, experts suggest establishing a consistent sleep schedule, even on weekends. Limiting screen time an hour before bed is also crucial, as the blue light from phones and tablets can trick the brain into thinking it’s still daytime, delaying the release of sleep hormones. Moreover, schools are being encouraged to reconsider their start times. Some schools that have delayed their morning bells by just 30 minutes have reported significant improvements in student attendance and academic performance.
8. What causes the conflict mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. Teenagers’ heavy homework load and their dislike for studying.
B. The change of school environment and teenagers’ poor immune system.
C. Teenagers’ shifted biological clock and early school start times.
D. Too many extracurricular activities and too much screen time.
9. What does Dr. Sarah Johnson imply about sleep for teenagers?
A. It is something they can adjust easily.
B. It is as important as physical exercise.
C. It is essential for their growth and health.
D. It is a luxury that few students can afford.
10. Which of the following is recommended by experts for a better sleep?
A. Using phones to relax before bed.
B. Keeping a regular sleep pattern every day.
C. Taking medicine to release sleep hormones.
D. Sleeping in late on weekends to catch up on sleep.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Teenage Brain: A Mystery
B. How to Get Good Grades in High School
C. The Importance of Extracurricular Activities
D. High School Transition: The Challenge of Sleep
D
When we talk about a “new start” in high school, much of the focus is naturally placed on academics. Parents and teachers often emphasize the importance of getting good grades and preparing for college from day one. However, an increasingly prominent view in educational journals like The New York Times Learning Network suggests that what students do outside the classroom is just as crucial for their long-term success and personal development.
Joining clubs, participating in sports, or volunteering in the community offers students opportunities to step out of their comfort zones. These extracurricular activities are not merely a way to make a college application look good; they are essential platforms for developing “soft skills” that traditional classrooms sometimes fail to teach.
Through these activities, students learn teamwork, leadership, and time management. For example, working on the school newspaper teaches students how to meet deadlines and communicate effectively, while playing on a sports team builds resilience and the ability to handle both victory and defeat. Furthermore, extracurriculars provide a sense of belonging. High school can be overwhelming, and finding a smaller community of peers who share similar interests can significantly reduce anxiety and help freshmen adapt more smoothly.
Of course, this doesn’t mean academics should be ignored. The key is balance. Students are encouraged to explore their interests early in their high school career but should avoid overloading their schedules. Choosing one or two activities they are truly passionate about is far more beneficial than joining five clubs just for the sake of it. Ultimately, high school is a time of self-discovery, and true education happens both inside and outside the classroom.
12. What do parents and teachers usually focus on when students start high school?
A. Soft skills development. B. Extracurricular activities.
C. Academic performance. D. Community volunteering.
13. Why does the author mention the school newspaper and sports teams?
A. To prove that traditional classrooms are useless.
B. To show the popularity of these activities.
C. To give examples of how extracurriculars build soft skills.
D. To encourage all freshmen to join them immediately.
14. What advice does the author give regarding extracurricular activities?
A. Join as many clubs as possible to stand out.
B. Focus on activities rather than academic studies.
C. Avoid them in the first year to reduce anxiety.
D. Strike a balance and pursue true passions.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards learning outside the classroom?
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Uncaring. D. Disapproving.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Arthur had always been a top student in middle school, but the thought of starting high school filled him with anxiety. He was worried about the heavy workload and, most importantly, making new friends. His high school was much larger than his old school, and everything seemed unfamiliar.
On the first day of school, Arthur arrived early. He had checked his schedule a dozen times: his first class was History in Room 412, located on the fourth floor of the North Building. He confidently walked up the stairs, taking in the sights and sounds of older students chatting and laughing in the hallways.
However, when he reached the fourth floor, the numbers on the doors didn’t make sense. Room 401, 403, 405... but there was no 412. He walked to the end of the hallway and turned a corner, only to find himself in a completely different wing. The bell for the first class rang loudly, echoing through the empty halls. Arthur’s heart began to race. He was going to be late on his very first day!
He hurriedly opened the nearest door and stepped inside. The classroom was quiet, and older students were sitting at their desks, staring at him. At the front of the room stood a tall teacher with glasses, holding a complicated-looking math textbook.
“Can I help you?” the teacher asked, looking at Arthur over his glasses.
Arthur’s face turned bright red. “I...I think I’m in the wrong place,” he stammered (结巴地说). “I’m looking for Room 412, History.”
Some of the older students giggled, which made Arthur want to disappear into the floor.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1: The teacher smiled gently and pointed towards the door.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: When Arthur finally arrived at Room 412, he took a deep breath before knocking on the door.
