AIdeas of making the first weeks of high school easyFrank. 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 school experience more enjoyable. Good luck!Sharon. aged 22The most important thing to keep in mind when going into high school is to be yourself. Besides, I don’t know what your middle school was like, but high school teachers will not care about things such as how much homework you already have in one night. It’s best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to do.Eddie. aged 20When I started high school, I was really nervous too, especially since I had been home- schooled all through middle school and didn’t really know anyone. I suppose the best advice would be to just relax. The first couple of days can be a little bit hard, but things will become easier before you know it.David. aged 19I'm not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening. But you’ll get used to it. Don’t be afraid of anyone; upperclassmen(高年级学生) will pick on you more if you let them know you're afraid. Just take it easy. Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly. After the first week it's really not bad at all. Don’t worry.21.What can we infer from Sharon about high school?A. Teachers are quite strict.B. Students often stay up at night.C. Teachers provide much care for students.D. Students should make good use of their time.22. How did Eddie feel on his first day of high school?A. BoredB. ExcitedC. WorriedD. Relaxed23. Who mentions the importance of friends?A. FrankB. EddieC. SharonD. DavidBExercise helps to keep us in good health. Doctors at the American Heart Association suggest getting at least 150 minutes of proper physical activity every week. Many people exercise for a few minutes every day or every other day. So, getting 150 minutes every week is easy.But what about those times when you are sick? If you do not feel well, should you keep following your exercise habit? Following are the answers from health experts.Edward R. Laskowski is a doctor at the Mayo Clinic. He and other experts have a general rule about exercising when you are sick. It is usually fine to exercise mildly, he explains, if your symptoms are all “above the neck”. These signs may include a runny nose, nasal congestion(鼻塞), sneezing(打喷嚏) or a minor score throat.Geralyn coopersmith, a physical fitness trainer who has written several books on exercise and nutrition offers similar advice. However, both Coopersmith and Dr. Laskowski suggest taking a break from exercising if signs of your illness appears “below the neck." Pay special attention to symptoms such as chest congestion( 胸闷), extreme cough or pain in the stomach.There are other symptoms (症状) that can tell you to avoid exercise. They include a higher than normal body temperature, a sense of feeling extremely tired, and widespread muscle pain.Both Coopersmith and Dr. Laskowski suggest listening to your body. If you feel really bad, take a break and let your body rest. If you don't feel too bad, these experts both suggest reducing the amount of exercise. For example, if you usually run, take a quick walk instead.24. Which of the following statements is true?A. It is a hard thing for people to exercise for 150 minutes every week.B. It is fine to do light exercise when you have a runny nose and chest congestion.C. Edward suggests doing exercise when you have muscle pain all over your body.D. Geralyn holds people can exercise mildly when their symptoms are above the neck.25.People with symptoms below the neck are advised to .A. stop exerciseB. walk instead of runC. ignore the symptomsD. cut down the amount of exercise26. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A. Warnings against exercise when you are ill.B. Harmful effects of exercise when you are ill.C. Suggested time for exercise when you are ill.D.Professional tips on exercise when you are ill.CWhether you admit it or not, people’s love for Christmas Jumper (毛衣) around Christmas has increased over recent years. And while you may be less willing to get involved in the Christmas jumper trend, Christmas Jumper Day now enables you to do more with your jumper than build up sweat in an incredibly warm office.The origin of the Christmas jumper can date back to the late 19th century in the USA. Americans in the 1930s knitted(编织) for Christmas to create an item of clothing to keep them “warm” during t he Great Depression when people led a poor and miserable life. They copied the jumpers they saw their favorite stars wearing on the big screen. From the 1950s, it was common to see American families wearing festive jumpers as they sat down to eat their Christmas dinner.Now, alongside wearing a festive jumper for the fun of it, there are other positive outcomes. Christmas Jumper Day has been set up to stimulate people to make the world better and raise funds for Save the Children by wearing a Christmas jumper and making a minimum donation of £1. Ladbrokes, a company in the UK, is running a competition in which all you have to do is to take a selfie (自拍) outside of one of their shops while wearing a jumper — the winner will win a good prize and for every submission(提交作品),Ladbrokes will donate£5 to St. Luke’s Hospice charity. For you, it’s a win-win situation.If you’re still unconvinced that it’s about time you bought yourself a Christmas jumper, thenmaybe the fact that Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber and Snoop Dogg have all been spotted wearing Christmas jumpers will raise your enthusiasm. Retailer (零售商) such as Topshop, Burberry and H&M have also become devoted to Christmas Jumper Day and have their very own types of Christmas jumpers.27. Which statement is true according to paragraph 1?A. Wearing Christmas jumpers in the office has been a trend.B. Wearing Christmas jumpers can make you incredibly warm.C. Christmas jumpers have gained huge popularity.D. Christmas jumpers serve many functions.28. For what reason did Americans in the 1930s make Christmas jumpers?A. To protect them from cold weather.B. To lift their spirits.C. To follow the stars.D. To form a tradition.29. The underlined word “stimulate” in paragraph 3 can be replaced by ________.A. demandB. adviseC. encourageD. persuade30. Why does the author mention Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber and Snoop Dogg?A. To ask people to donate Christmas jumpers.B. To show the importance of Christmas Jumper Day.C. To prove Christmas jumpers are popular among stars.D. To persuade readers to buy a Christmas jumper.阅读:21.DCD 24.

AAmerica is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us develop more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending(延伸)sometimes deeply into both families.Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality(好客)easily.Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they treat us warmly, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires much time. But in China we are usually generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at an airport even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly cannot manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily plans. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!21. The writer of this passage must be ______.A. an AmericanB. a ChineseC. a professorD. a student22. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.B. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their livesC. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.D. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.23. From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be ______.A. warmly welcomed at the airportB. offered a ride to his homeC. treated hospitably at his homeD. treated to dinner in a restaurant24. A suitable title for this passage would probably be “______”.A. Friendships between ChineseB. Friendships between AmericansC. Americans’ hospitalityD. Americans’ and Chinese’s views of friendshipsBLike people from most countries, the people of the British islands speak kinds of dialects. A dialect is a different version (版本) of a main language. It has different words and has something to do with the culture of the place in which it is spoken. It is usually spoken with a certain accent. Although it may be different, however, a dialect is usually not so different that an o utsider can’t understand what i s being said.Speakers of dialects in Britain are often proud of them. For this reason, when you visit an area with a dialect, particularly when it is a place visited by tourists, gift stores will sell books about the local words. The dialects of Northern Ireland have a great many words that other Britons have never heard of. An unusual example I recently learned from this part of the world is “boke”, which means “vomit (呕吐)”. The nearly poetic words of the Cockneys (伦敦东区的人) of the East End of London are famous throughout the world because they can be so clever and humorous. Here is a piece of rhyming slang (押韵俚语): A “whistle and flute” is cockney for “suit”.It is true that there are fewer dialects in Britain today than there were a hundred years ago, and far fewer than there were 200 years ago. The reason is quite clear: The modern world and its opportunities for communication have made the differences between people much smaller. When people speak and listen to more people from a much larger area than their mothers and fathers did, the differences between the ways they speak get smaller.This means that there are now far fewer problems in understanding each other when British people, say, from the other Hebrides of Scotland speak with people from Cornwall in the southwest of the country. Also, Englishspeakers from all over the world can generally understand each other. Of course, if dialects had not become less important, it would have been much more difficult for English as a second language to be such a big success all over the world!25.

Unlike Hu, another one picked u p his mobile phone in less than 20 minutes. “Having seen many students use their mobile phones in the library, a habit that shortens their study time and negatively affects their learning, we decided to open this readingroom,” said Zhang Shuran, the perso n responsible for the project at the university.Zhang added that students can keep their phones in appointed bags with numbers on them. The hags are placed on a desk near the door of the reading room. "Staff members at the reading room will check the phones when there's a call," said Zhang, adding that they will inform students when their parents or teachers call them, but will not tell students if an unknown person is calling or when there is a text message. Based on the time students hand in their phones when they come to the reading room and the time they get them back when they leave the room, Hu Xiaopeng from College of Animal Science and Technology of the university set a record of the longest time. Hu spent 530 minutes studying without using his phone. Though feeling somewhat surprised, Hu said," It's bad to keep mobile phone with you when you are reading or studying."The campaign has attracted nearly 200 students since it was started a week ago.
