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 learn 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 school experience more enjoyable. Good luck!Eddie, Aged 20When I started high school I was really nervous too, 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, but things will become easier before you know it. David, Aged 19Im not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening. 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 staying 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.C. Teachers provide little 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. Excited. B. Bored. C. Worried. D. Relaxed.23. Who mentions the importance of friends?A. Frank. B. David. C. Sharon. D. Eddie.BThe trouble started at 9:30 p.m. last New Years Eve, in Newmark. When the fire engines (消防车) arrived at the fire, a very old woman was sitting in a third floor window. The firefighters placed a ladder (梯子) against the wooden house, and 26-year-old Marcus Reddick climbed 35 feet to the third floor.The woman, 60 years old and very fat, was sitting with both feet out of the window. When Marcus reached the top of the ladder, the woman, afraid and nervous, put her two legs around him. Suddenly Marcus fell backwards off the ladder, with the large woman sitting on him. Marcus landed first hitting a wall beside the front stairs and broke the womans fall. She fell no more, but he fell another ten feet down the stairs. When the fire officer reached him, Marcus was unconscious.Within an hour, a doctor told the men that Marcus was nearly brain dead, and would only get worse. Doctors talked of turning off the life-saving machine and asked if the family would like to give away his heart. The answer was “yes”.On January 6, firefighters lifted Marcus coffin (棺材) covered with an American flag onto a yellow fire engine. Hundreds of firefighters from all over the state joined the procession (行列) through Newmark streets. Children watched silently from school windows. The day Marcus died, his heart was given away to a young girl. His family said that it was the second life Marcus had saved.24. What happened last New Years Eve in Newmark?A. An old woman was killed. B. A fire engine was missing.C. A firefighter was murdered. D. A wooden house caught fire.25. After reaching the top of the ladder, Marcus _.A. was very afraid and nervous B. couldnt see anything clearlyC. found it difficult to get down D. was knocked off and got hurt26. The underlined word “unconscious” in Paragraph 2 means “_”.A. homeless B. senseless C. breathless D. helpless27. We can infer from the end of the text that Marcus family might feel _.A. sad but proud B. shy but excited C. angry and doubtful D. worried and surprised CThere is a song in England that starts: “Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside.” There is something very special about being near the ocean. I have never lived on the coast(海岸) before. But now I live in a small town next to the sea. I can see the water from my window. The sound of the waves can be very peaceful. Life seems to happen at a slower pace here. Before I moved here I had been living in London. The sun setting over the ocean is a beautiful thing to watch. And I enjoy looking down to see the fish swimming around and jumping up. Where I live there is no beach. Instead, there is a harbor(港口). In many ways, I prefer this. It means that you can look straight down into the water to see what is there. I like seeing the fishing boats. It also means that there are not so many tourists who come to lie on the beach and sunbathe. I have a few problems though. 1) Everywhere smells of fish. The town where I live is full of people cooking and eating fish and other seafood at lunch and dinner. Thats okay (although I am a bit sick of eating it myself). The problem is, when I hang my clothes out to dry, they come back with a strange smell! 2) Seagulls(海鸥). I really dont like them. They are extremely loud and annoying, and not very pretty birds. 3) The wind. It is very windy here. At the moment it is all right, because the days are still quite warm. During the summer the wind is nice and refreshing. But I can imagine that in the winter that strong wind will be very cold. But in the end, I think the advantages outweigh disadvantages. So I can sing, “I do like to be beside the seaside,” and I wont be lying at all.28. The passage is made up of nine paragraphs and which can show the structure of it? A. B. C. D. 29. Which of the following belong to the same group? a. the fish smell b. the harbor c. wave sound d. seagulls e. sunset f. the wind A. adf B. abc C. cef D. abd30. The life by the seaside makes the author understand that “_”. A. Actions speak louder than words. B. Every coin has two sides. C. No way is impossible to courage. D. From saving comes having.31. The underlined word “outweigh” in the last paragraph means “_”. A. are similar to B. have no more influence than C. are greater than D. play a role as important as DThe British are known for their sense of humor. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, “Its a little damp (潮湿的) outside.” Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, “She isnt exactly friendly.” Understatement is often used in unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humor.Another key to understanding British humor is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidently falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave. Whats more, the British love to watch comedies (喜剧) about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedies series Mr. Bean is a good example of this kind of humor.Mr. Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990. Mr. Bean doesnt talk often, and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr. Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr. Bean is popular in many countries around the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humor. Because of this, many people have become familiar with the British sense of humor.32. Why is it difficult for foreigners to understand British jokes?A The British often enlarge the fact.B British jokes are connected with many different cultures.C British jokes are not as funny as jokes in other countries.D The British try to make out that something is less important than it is.33. The author explains understatement by _.A describing a process B making comparisonsC following time order D using examples34. Mr. Bean makes laugh by _.A using his body movement and facial expressionsB making jokes about others accentC copying how others behaveD telling funny stories35. What can be the best title for the text?A British Humor in ComedyB Humor in Different CulturesC Understanding British HumorD Developing Your Sense of Humor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。 How about the schoolwork in high schoolis it harder? This is something your classmates are probably worried about, too. The work in high school builds on what you learned in middle school. 36 But these challenges can make you stronger. 37 After-school activities can help you find your interests.

Middle school taught you many things while providing you with a little support. 39 High school gives you the chance to take off those training wheels and learn how to be more independent(独立的). 40 Even if you dont get off to the best start, thats normal, too.
