9、小题2分,满分30分)ASharon, Aged 22 The most important thing to keep in mind when going into high school is to be yourself. Besides, I dont 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. Its best to just lea
10、rn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to.Frank, Aged 21I 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 schoo
11、l experience more enjoyable. Good luck!Eddie, Aged 20When I started high school I was really nervous, especially since I had been homeschooled all through middle school and didnt really know anyone. I suppose the best advice would be to just relax. The first couple of days can be a little bit hard,
12、but things will become easier before you know it.David, Aged 19 Im not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening (令人恐惧的). But youll get used to it. Dont be afraid of anyone; upperclassmen will pick on you more if you let them know youre afraid. Just take it easy. Making some friends and sta
13、ying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly. After the first week its really not bad at all. Dont worry.21. What can we infer from Sharon about high school?A. Teachers are quite strict. B. Students often stay up at night.D. Students should make good use of their time. C. Tea
14、chers provide little care for students.22. How did Eddie feel on his first day of high school?A. Excited. B. Worried. C. Bored.D. Relaxed.23. Who mentions the importance of friends?A. Frank. B. Sharon. C. Eddie. D. David. B “Everything happens for the best”. my mother said whenever things werent goi
15、ng my way. “Dont worry. One day your luck will change.” Mother was right, as I discovered after I had finished my college education. I had decided to try for a job in a radio station. One day, I wanted to host(主持) a sports programme. I went to Chicago and knocked at the door of every station. But I
16、got turned down every time. In one station, a kind lady said my problem was that I hadnt got enough experience. Get some work in a small station and work your way up, she said. I went back home. I couldnt get a job there, either. Then my dad told me a businessman had opened a store and needed someon
17、e to help him. But again, I didnt get the job. I felt really down. “Your luck will change, Mom said to me. Dad lent me the car to help me to look for my job. I tried another radio station in Iowa. But the owner, a nice man, told me he had already had someone. As I left his office, I asked, “How can
18、someone be a sports announcer if he cant get a job in a radio station?” I was waiting for the lift when I heard the man called, “What did you mean? Do you know anything about football? He put me in front of a microphone and asked me to try to imagine that I was giving my opinion on a football game.
19、I succeeded. On my way home, Moms words came back to me, One day your luck will change, Son. And when it happens, youll feel doubly good because of all the hard work you ve done.” At that moment I knew just what she meant.24. What job was the writer most interested in _?A. A sportsman B. A sports an
20、nouncer. CA shop assistant. D. A businessman. 25Why didnt the writer get the job in Chicago?A. Because he hadnt got enough experience. B. Because he didnt get college education.C. Because he wasnt a good looking person. D. Because he was too young.26. The underline sentence” But I got turned down ev
21、ery time.” means _.A. But I lost my way every time B. But I was successful every timeC. But the door of every station was always closed D. But I was refused every time 27. Whats the best title of this passage?A. Mothers Words B. No One Is Always Lucky C. Everything Happens for the Best D. To Find a
22、Job in Radio Is Difficult CIts really true what people say about English politeness: its everywhere. When squeezing(挤) past someone or passing through a crowd in a narrow place, people say “sorry”. When getting off a bus, English passengers say “thank you” rather than the driver. In Germany, people
23、would never dream of doing these things. After all, squeezing past others is sometimes unavoidable, and the bus driver is only doing his job. I used to think the same way, without questioning it, until I started traveling to the British Isles and came to appreciate some more polite ways of communica
24、ting with people, and here are some more polite ways of interacting with people in UK.People thank each other everywhere in England, all the time. When people buy something in a shop, customer and shop assistant in most cases thank each other twice or more. In Germany, it would be surprising to hear
25、 more than one thank you in such a conversation. British students thank their lecturers when leaving the room. English employers thank their employees for doing their jobs, which is different from Germans, who would normally think that paying their workers money is already enough.Another thing I obs
26、erved during my stay was that English people rarely criticize others. Even when I was working and mistakes were pointed out to me, my employers repeated several times but none of their explanations were intended as scolding me. It has been my impression that by avoiding scolding, English people are
27、making an effort to make others feel comfortable. This also is showed in other ways. British men still open doors for women, and British men are more likely to treat women to a meal than German men. However, I do need to point out here that this applies to English men a bit more than it would to Sco
28、ttish men! Yes, the latter are a bit mean.28. What is the authors feeling of English politeness?A. He thinks little of it. B. He thinks highly of it. C. He thinks it is unnecessary. D. He thinks it goes too far.29. What can be inferred from the passage?A. British men never treat a woman to dinner.B.
29、 Germans think it is unnecessary to thank workers because payment is enough.C. British men think its unnecessary to say “thank you” to the bus driver.D. In Germany, employers often say “thank you” to employees for their job.30. We can learn from the last paragraph that Scottish men _.A. are unwillin
30、g to spend money for women B. like to fight with each other C. treat women more politely than English men D. are as generous as English men 31. The author develops the text through the method of _.A. telling stories B. giving reasons C. making comparisons D. doing scientific research DWe all know th
31、e feeling of waking up in the middle of the night with a pounding(重重的) heart and sweaty palms(手掌). Relax, you say to yourself it was just a bad dream. Well, it may be that you really should relax, because nightmares(恶梦) might actually be good for you.According to New York Magazine, bad dreams can im
32、prove your mental health. A bad dream tends to be based on a real-life concern, for example, an approaching test or a fear of a person. To eliminate these worries the brain turns the dream into a story in the form of a bad dream.A bad dream enables you to distance yourself from your anxieties, and t
33、urn something youre worried about now into a memory. The result is that when you wake up youre able to move forward and face the future.A study, featured in The Atlantic magazine, showed something similar. In a survey of more than 700 French students taking a medical school entrance exam, over 60 pe
34、rcent had negative dreams about the test the night before. These included not finishing on time, leaving a question blank, or being late. Those who reported dreams about the exam, even bad ones, did better on it than those who didnt, suggesting that nightmares do in fact prepare us for the future.“W
35、e think nightmares are so common that they have some purpose to process stressors,” Anne Germain, director of the Sleep Center at the University of Pittsburgh, said.So, the next time you lie awake at night after a bad dream, remember that it may be the brains way of putting your fears behind you and
36、 readying you for the future. Although a nightmare may make you afraid in the short term, it might be helping you to move on from the bad stuff you might be facing in the real world. Perhaps we should try to accept our nightmares rather than allow them to keep us awake. After all, lack of sleep caus
37、es far more problems than dreams do.32. Which of the following best explains “eliminate” in Paragraph 2?A. strengthen B. satisfy C. reflect D. remove 33. Why does the author mention the study in the 4th paragraph?A. To show most of the students will be stressed before an exam. B. To show medical sch
38、ool entrance exams will cause anxiety.C. To show those who have nightmares will do worse in an exam.D. To show nightmares help students perform better in an exam.34. According to the author, what should we do if we have a bad dream?A. We should keep ourselves awake.B. We should study bad dreams care
39、fully.C. We should relax and go on sleeping.D. We should prevent it from happening. 35. Where is this text most likely from?A. A diary. B. A magazine. C. A guidebook. D. A novel. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Open-Mindedness Is Key to Maintaining FriendshipsAs high sc
40、hool students, we must spend the vast majority of our time in class and reading books. Still, spending time with friends is also necessary and good for us. 36 What kind of friends should we pick? What are the dos and donts of friendship? Here are some of my opinions.We need to be careful. We bump in
41、to different people every day. We may consider some to be nice and feel like making friends with them. 37 Rather than make friends with the popular students, we should spend time with those we have things in common with, or who will be there to listen to us. Moreover, we should be careful about stud
42、ents with many bad habits, since they could pass those habits on to us. We need to be tolerant. No one is flawless (完美的). 38 Therefore, we should embrace (拥抱) friends flaws and be patient with them when they make mistakes since were all on a journey to being better people. Gradually, our friendships
43、 will last longer and become more solid. 39 We all tend to show our positive side to friends and hide our true feelings. Nevertheless, its better to be honest with friends, to tell them what is bothering us and seek their advice. Being honest will not annoy your friends, but it will bring you and yo
44、ur friend closer together.We need to be open-minded.

Honesty is a virtue (美德).C. How many close friends have you got?D
