AHigh school students are some of the busiest people in the world. To get themost from all you do, you must be in control of your time. Your success in high school depends on your use of time. Here are some important things to remember.Begin each term by filling in a master plan. First fill in things you must do (classes, work, practice, etc. that you can't change). Then find the mosteffective use for these times.Set a regular time and place for study. This will save you time in the long run. If you have a study hall in your school, use itTUse daylight hours to study whenever possible. For most people for every hour of study done in daylight hours, it will take them one and a half hours to do the same task at night.Take breaks. Don't plan marathon study time. Have a short rest before you study again.By using flash cards or summary sheets, you can use odd times to study while you are waiting for class to start or for a friend to pick you up.lf possible, plan study time with a partner. Choose your partner wisely however. Make sure you study, not socialize yourself.Do the most difficult tasks when you are active. (Take math for example: when you're energetic, it will become easier to solve; when you're tired, it willbe impossible!)Make a daily checklist. Do the most important tasks first.21. According to the passage, your success in high school mainly lies inA. making full use of your timeB. your hard workC. your brain powerD. how well you play the game22. We should use daylight hours to study whenever possible becauseA. school study halls are open to students only in the daytimeB. most people can spare more time to study in the daytimeC. it's more difficult to study effectively at nightD. we have more important things to do than study at night23. On how to use our time, we should follow the following suggestions EXCEPTA. working out a complete plan for the whole termB. keeping a good balance between study and restC. putting the most important tasks firstD. trying to study alone instead of working with othersBI spent three months volunteering with Volunteer Bolivia(玻利维亚) . It was sometimes annoying, scary and difficult, but also life-changing, satisfying and amazing. Because I had studied Spanish for a couple of years before I went out, I had just one week of classes at Volunteer Bolivia.Living with a family also helped my Spanish greatly and l felt immediately like one of their daughters. We were good friends from the beginning of my time there and I was looked after very well. I still had a lot of independence. TheVolunteer Bolivia centre, with its cafe bar and cultural talks, was a meetingplace for all the volunteers and I met some wonderful people from all over the world who were doing the same as me-giving something of themselves to a country which needs so much.My job was in a caring centre for prisoners' children from the Cochabamba prisons and from the very(昀) start I felt welcomed and needed. There I met some inspiring members who put so much of their heart into caring for those children who maybe had no one else to love them. Not only the work itself was very hard but at times it was emotionally demanding, especially sending a groupof two-year-olds back into the prison at the end of the day. Despite all this, I learnt a lot through the experience and now I'm more aware of the problems faced daily by many people in South America. The centre has very limited funding c贸金) so they depend heavily on the work of volunteers, and any time people give is very valuable to them.Since returning to Britain I have kept in touch with the people I worked with and I'm trying to support them as much as possible. Volunteering through Volunteer Bolivia has changed my life and is an experience l will never forget.24. We can infer that the official language of Bolivia is most probably _A. EnglishB. SpanishC. FrenchD. ltalian25. Where did the author stay when she was in Bolivia?A. In a hotel.B. In the volunteer centre.C. In a cafe bar.D. In a local family.26. The author's job as a volunteer in Bolivia was toA. raise money for some prisonsB. meet volunteers from other countriesC. look after some prisoners' childrenD. help the local people with their farm work27. What did the author think of her work in Bolivia according to Paragraph 3?A. Challenging.B. Relaxing.C. Disappointing.D. Boring.C"Plants were expected to get larger with increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but changes in temperature, humidity and nutrient availability seem to have trumped the benefits of increased carbon dioxide," said researchers from the National University of Singapore.45 percent of the species studied now reach smaller adult sizes than they did in the past. The researchers pointed out that warmer temperatures and changing habitats, caused by climate change, are possible reasons for shrinking creatures.“We do not yet know the mechanisms involved, or why some organism are getting smaller while others are unaffected," the researchers said. 6eUntil we understand more, we could be risking negative consequences that we can't yet quantify. "The change was big in cold-blooded animals. Only two decades of warmertemperatures were enough to make reptiles (爬行动物) smaller. An increase of 1 degree centigrade caused nearly a 10 percent increase in metabolism (新陈代谢) . Greater use of energy resulted in tiny tortoises and little lizards. Fish are smaller now too. Though overfishing has played a part in reducing numbers, experiments show that warmer temperatures also stop fish growth. There is a recent report on warmer temperatures' negative effects on plankton (浮游生物), the base of the marine ecosystem.Warm-blooded animals weren't immune from the size change caused by climate change. Many birds are now smaller. Mammals have been miniaturized too. Soay sheep are thinner. Red deer are weaker. And polar bears are smaller, compared with historical records. This is not the first time this has happened in Earth's history.55 million years ago, a warming event similar to the current climate change caused bees, spiders and ants to shrink by 50 to -5 percent over several thousand years. That event happened over a longer time than the current climate change.The speed of modern climate change could mean organisms may not respond or adapt quickly enough, especially those with long generation times. So, it islikely that more negative influences of climate change will be shown in future.28.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Why do some species become smaller?B. How does temperature change in Earth's history?C. Climate change has many negative effectsD. Species become smaller as climate warms29.The underlined word “trumped" in the first paragraph can be replaced byA. beatenB. increasedC. strengthenedD. equaled30. Researchers from the National University of Singapore believe thatA. too many studies on animals' size have been doneB. all the animals on the earth have become smallerC. how climate change affects animals' size has not been found clearlyD. climate change has more negative effects on warm-blooded animals31. What can we learn from the passage?A. Birds have suffered more from climate change than fish.B. Climate change has even affected plankton negatively.C. Cold-blooded animals become smaller because of the lack of food.D. The warming event has never happened in Earth' s history before.DFor most seventh graders, life doesn't get much harder than a history test. But for Grant Reed of Bellville, Ohio, it's his own current events that are so painful. “Honestly, I don't want to die," Grant says. Last y ear, doctors at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus found a tumor c肿瘤) in Grant's brain. They cut it out, but the surgery left him with stroke-like symptoms. Plus,he had to go through months of radiation and chemotherapy to try to stop the spread of the disease.Yet, through it all, Grant has shown remarkable determination, which he owes, partly, to Ohio State football. His parents, Troy and Denise, were both inthe OSU marching band and fell in love during halftime of the Michigan game.His cat is named after the team Buckeye. His wardrobe is painted scarlet (thecolor of the team's sportswear). The point is, almost nothing mattered more toGrant than Ohio State football-until he got sick, of course.“I didn't like the word cancer," Grant s ays. So he decided not to use theword. Instead, the kid named his cancer Michigan and insisted everyone in hislife refer to it as such, because Ohio State always beats Michigan. That was something he could understand and make it into a competition. He was going tobeat this disease.It's now been more than a year since Grant issued that announcement. “Andif you look at his scans," Dr. Randal Olshefski at Nationwide Children's says,6/There's nothing there. There's a big space, but there's no tumor."6/Grant is beating Michigan. And although much of it has to go to science,don't discount the semantics(语义学). You have to do something to make it adisease you can fight. And for Grant,that was naming it Michigan," his parentssay.This weekend, Ohio State and Michigan will be battling like their livesdepend on it. But in this house, the Reed family will be watching with a calminsight: it's just a game.32. What's the main idea of the first paragraph?A. History is a difficult subject.B. Grant suffered a serious disease.C. The operation was successful.D.The tumor has spread all over.33. From the second paragraph, we can infer that .A. Grant was born a football fanB.football makes a full manC.interest is the best teacherD.God helps those who help themselves34. Apart from radiation and chemotherapy, is helping Grant beat thedisease.A. the semanticsB. his strong determinationC. the football gameD. his cat Buckeye35. By saying that it's just a game, we can infer that the Reed familyA. has lost interest in the match between Ohio State and MichiganB.believes Michigan will surely beat Ohio State this weekendC. has a better understanding of lifeD.views the match as a matter of life and death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。
