universitycenrich students spare time life dpromote childrens interest in touringb on the first day of my new high school, i almost had a nervous breakdown. everything about the school seemed so difficult. when i got home, my parents said, “youre nervous and thats okay. everyone is afraid of high school.” i denied it. i wanted to be strong, so i refused to let anyone know about my fear, even my closest friends.on the first day i was late for every class and was constantly lost. the school seemed like a puzzle that i couldnt figure out. was this how the whole year was going to be? i didnt think i could rise to this challenge, especially carrying a huge backpack that i could hardly lift. it was so big that i could knock someone out with it!despite my fears, after the first week i finally had my schedule figured out. with the exception of falling up and down the stairs a couple of times and getting laughed at, high school was turning out to be not so bad. it was actually much better than middle school and much more challenging.since then, ive been elected（选举）vice monitor of my class, which wasnt much of a victory since only three people ran for the four positions.it is normal to be scared about a new school. take a deep breath and relax. high school is something that any student can overcome. make sure you participate in some out-of-class activities because youll find it easier to make friends. try to do your best, even if it isnt straight as.most important of all, be who you are, whether youre a “fool”， an athlete, or a lower grader. dont try to pretend to be someone youre not. now you know the true secrets of high school.24the main reason for the authors fear on his first day is that _.ahe was not familiar with the new surroundings bhis schoolmates were unfriendly to himche was unable to work out the puzzle dhis schoolbag was too heavy for him to carry25from the authors first day experience we can infer that _.ahe didnt know the right way to class bhe got to school before classes beganche was fond of the school immediately. dhis home was far from the school26after his first week at school, the author _.awas still not accustomed to the schedulebwas gradually used to the new schoolcfound high school not so challenging as he had imagineddran for monitor of his class against three other students27according to the passage, the secret of the authors success lies mainly in_.amaking more friends bgetting more as at schoolcbeing who he really is djoining in out of class activitiesc spanish artist pablo picasso (18811973) is one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. it is said that everything his brush touched turned to gold. but in truth, the value of his work could be worth more than any precious metal. picasso created more than 20,000 works in his life, including two of the worlds 10 most expensive paintings.between 1907 and 1913, picasso and his colleague(同事) georges braque started a revolution(革命) in painting. before that, paintings were like windows they were painted to look as if they had depth. you could tell which objects were “close” to you and which objects were “far away”. but picasso and braque didnt want to paint like that any more. to them, a painting wasnt a window to the world; it was marks and lines on a flat surface. why, they thought, should an object like a guitar be shown only from one angle (角度)? a guitar can look very different depending on which angle one looks at it from. their answer was to show all the angles. they broke the guitar up into pieces. their style of painting is called cubism.but why did they feel such a need to change things? well, the world around them was changing, too. science was turning peoples ideas upside down. albert einsteins theory was proving that what we knew about time and space was wrong. and new political movements like socialism were on the rise. the world was becoming different; artists needed to start seeing and painting it differently.the famous and terrifying painting guernica (1937) shows the horror of the bombing(轰炸) of the town of guernica during the spanish civil war. in the painting, you can actually see the sky falling. picasso couldnt have painted it without the skills he learned during his cubist period. breaking a guitar into pieces was his preparation for showing the world being blown to pieces.28what is the article mainly about?athe high price of picassos paintings.bpicassos difficulties in career.cthe popularity of picassos paintings.dpicassos achievements in art.29in what way did picasso and braque paint?athey painted objects with different depths.bthey made their paintings look like windows.cthey painted an object from different angles.dthey broke objects into pieces and painted them.30what caused picasso and braque to start cubism?aeinsteins theory.bthe changing world.cthe rising socialism.dnew political movements.31the painting guernica is mentioned to show _.athe themes of picassos paintingsbthe anger of picasso at the warcthe preparations picasso made beforedthe artistic effect of cubismd my teenage son karl became withdrawn after his father died. as a single parent, i tried to do my best to talk to him. but the more i tried, the more he pulled away. when his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year. at this rate he would never graduate. i sent him to the school adviser, and i even begged him. nothing worked.one night i felt so powerless that i got down on my knees and begged for help. “please god, i cant do any thing more for my son. im at the end of my rope. im giving the whole thing up to you.”i was at work when i got a phone call. a man introduced himself as the headmaster. “i want to talk to you about karls absences.” before he could say another word, i cried and all my disappointment and sadness over karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “i love my son but i just dont know what to do. ive tried everything to get karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. its out of nay hands. ”for a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. the headmaster seriously said, “thank you for your time”, and hung up.karls next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. finally, he even made the honor roll. in his fourth year, i attended a parent-teacher meeting with karl. i noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. on our way home, he said, “mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” i nodded. “that was me. i thought id play a joke but when i heard what you said, it really hit me how much i was hurting you. thats when i knew i had to make you proud.”32there was silence on the other end of the line because _athe speaker was too moved to say anything to the mother bthe speaker was not listeningcthe speaker had gone away dthe speaker was unable to speak33the sentence “. he even made the honor roll” means that “_”ahe was even on the list to be punishedbhe was even on the list of students who were lazyche was even on the list of students who were always late for schooldhe was even on the list of the best students at school34what is the main idea of this passage?achildren in single-parent families often have mental problems.bschool education doesnt work without full support from parents.cbeing understood by parents is very important to teenagers.dmothers love plays an important role in teenagers life.35karl has a _ mother.agreat bfoolish cstupid

antonio told charles about his last 42 . “after a month at sea,” he said, “we 43 our masts(桅杆) had been eaten through by white ants! 44 nothing was left of them.”“thats terrible,” said charles.“thats what i thought at first too,” antonio said, “but it turned out to be good luck. as soon as we took the sails down to fix the masts, we were hit by a(n) 45 wind so suddenly and so hard, it would 46 have blown us over if our sails were up at the time.”“how lucky!”“thats exactly what i thought at the time too. but because our sails were down, we couldnt 47 , and because of the wind, we were blown 48 a reef. the hole in the ship was too big to fix. we were stranded(搁浅).”“that is bad luck indeed.”“thats what i thought, too, when it first 49 . but we all 50 it to the beach alive and had plenty to eat. but now heres the real kicker: we were on the island 51 about our terrible fate 52 we discovered a buried treasure!” 53 this story proves, you dont know if an event is “good” or “bad”, and even thinking about a 54 event, you dont really know because 55 keeps going. 56 , you can simply 57 whatever happens is “good”. if you think an event is good, its easy to have a(n) 58 attitude. and your attitude affects the 59 people treat you and how you treat others, and it affects your energy level. and those can help pave the way for things to turn out well. a good attitude is a good thing, while a bad attitude 60 no good to you.41aat bon cto dover42astory bvoyage cexperience devent43adiscovered bknew crealized dimagined44anearly bmostly chardly dalmost45aviolent babnormal cimmediate
