第一节(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

A

In America, when the eighth graders leave the middle school, they are often worried about moving to the high school. It is a hard time for them, but it can be an exciting one as well. To make it easier, students need to get familiar with their school.

Even though they’ve done this already in the middle school, it’s still important to find where their classrooms are. Most schools take students to the high school for a visit at the end of their eighth grade year. And, most schools also have a freshman(新生) speech for parents and students before the first year begins. Sometimes the main office will give away a map of the school. This can help students and parents to find different places in the school.

One way to know your high school more and make new friends is to join a club or play a sport. Schools often offer chances to join different clubs and sports. Fall activities begin in August before the first day of school. If you are not interested in sports, there are clubs for any interest, such as drama, dance, chess, photography, community service, etc. These clubs allow students from different grades. By joining an activity, students can find new friendships, not to mention improving their chances in future college applications. The school office will have a list of activities offered at the school and information on how to join them.

What’s more, to have a great start to a high school year, students can write down some of their worries, and ask for help from teachers and school workers.

1. According to the text, most students feel ________ when entering the high school. A. excited B. nervous C. lonely D. disappointed 2. Which of the following is TRUE about the school clubs?

A. There are fewer students from higher grades in the school clubs. B. The school clubs in high school only welcome sports fans. C. Summer activities begin before school starts.

D. The school office can help new students join school clubs. 3. What is the purpose of this text?

A. To tell the new students how to learn in high school B. To introduce new schools

C. To give the teachers some advice

D. To give advice to new high school students

B

If you're reading this, then you're probably studying English. Maybe you speak a couple of other languages too. But what are the British like when it comes to learning languages?

According to a survey published by the European Commission, the British are officially the worst language learners in Europe-62 percent of them can't speak any other language apart from their own! While 38 percent of Britons speak at least one foreign language, only 18 percent speak two.

However, the European Union data show that 56 percent speak at least one foreign language and 28 percent speak at least two. Moreover, 51 percent of EU citizens can have a conversation in English.

Learning a foreign language is not a popular choice at schools in Britain; children start studying a foreign language at the age of 11 and many give up completely at 14. So why don't young people continue with languages at school? Research suggests that students think that it is more difficult to get good grades in languages than in other subjects such as science or history.

The government is now looking for different ways to improve language learning. One idea is to start much earlier and introduce foreign languages from the age of five. Another plan is to give schoolchildren more choices and expand(增加) the range of languages taught to include Arabic, Mandarin and Urdu.

Mandarin is predicted to become the second most popular foreign language learned in UK schools. Gareth from Wales says, \am learning Chinese and find it fun.\Another student, Thomas from London, says, \saying that I learn Mandarin impresses people. Even having a very basic level gives you an advantage.\College headmaster Richard Cairns says, \of my key tasks is to ensure that pupils are equipped for the realities of the 21st century. One of those realities is that China has the fastest-growing economy in the world.\

It may be a challenging task to change the Brits' attitude to learning languages but the government is determined to try.

4. What does the survey published by the European Commission indicate? A. Britons aren't fond of speaking other languages.

B. Britons are the people who are excellent in languages.

C. More than half of EU citizens can only speak one language. D. English is a second language to half of EU citizens. 5. Why don't British students pick up foreign languages? A. Because they don't want to make an effort. B. Because they have too many subjects to learn.

C. Because English is the most widely spoken language. D. Because they feel other languages boring and useless. 6. What does the passage mainly tell?

A. British students are poor in language learning.

B. British students are losing their advantages of learning languages. C. There is no need for the British to learn other languages. D. The British government is encouraging language learning.

C

Family fights are never pleasant. Whether you are dealing with a loud sister or a stubborn mom or dad, the situation can be bad. At least that’s what we have learned to expect.

What if it could be different? What if family fights and conflicts could be turned into opportunities to become closer? What if problems could be solved with everyone walking away feeling more deeply cared for and loved?

Family fighting is, on one level, about power. Someone is telling someone else what to do. In a short moment, emotions(情绪) can be brought out and the fight is on. You can go down that old road or you can try something different.

In any fight, you have a need to be listened to and understood. People raise their voices and shout at each other because they’re not being listened to. It’s totally unconscious. You want your mom or dad to listen and understand. But you always seem to forget the person you’re fighting with has the same need to be listened to. So if you can put aside your need for a few minutes, the situation will change quickly. Give the other person some time to express his

or her feelings, and you will earn your turn to be listened to.

And while you are listening, you have to listen for the right information. The best way to do this in emotional situations is to forget most of the words because many people can’t express what they are feeling with words alone, especially when they are upset.

But if the situation starts to get out of hand, it would be wise to just calm down and leave the problem until later because many fights happen at the wrong time. The situation will die down quickly, usually in less than 30 seconds. You can either move on to problem solving or reach an agreement to work on it at a better time.

This way, everyone will feel respected and listened to, even when there is conflict. Emotions will be understood and respected, and it will bring your family closer together. 7. From the first 3 paragraphs, we can conclude that ______. A. people had better avoid family fights.

B. family members fight to control each other

C. family fights can be changed into something positive

D. when family members fight, it’s worse as they know each other’s weakness 8. In the author’s opinion, the key to dealing with family fights is to ______. A. satisfy the need to be listened to first

B. make sure that you’re the first to be listened to

C. pay no attention to what others say in emotional situations D. stop quarrelling when you feel you are giving orders 9. When the situation gets out of control, it’s best to ______. A. wait for a suitable moment to speak

B. let the other person express their feelings C. work on a written agreement first D. move on to problem solving

10. The main purpose of this article is to ______. A. tell readers that family fights are not that bad B. teach reader how to listen in family fights

C. remind readers to show respect in family fights D. give advice on dealing with family fights 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 can teenagers keep themselves from suffering from loneliness? Here are some suggestions for speeding a recovery(恢复) from loneliness.

__11__. A smile and a friendly greeting for the student behind you in line at the cafeteria(餐厅) won't make you best friends. But it will make you both feel good. It also can make it easier to interact(互相影响) the next time, and the time after that.

Find a safe place to make connections. If going to the dancing party makes you feel like you just don't belong, try joining a special-interest group. __12__. Just because you feel left out in one group doesn't mean you'll feel like an outsider in every other one. Look for a group that allows you to feel comfortable gradually.

Find other ways of making connections. Lonely people hunger for friendship. Sometimes feeling accepted and liked comes more easily when you do something for others rather than waiting for them to make you feel better. __13__. Help a child in reading. Take notes for a disabled classmate. You might be surprised at the connections you make.

__14__. Loneliness is an absence of quality friendship, not of a particular quantity of friends. That's why it's important to know how to select a friend.

You get what you expect, so expect the best. If you expect others to be friendly, you will behave in proper ways

that encourage people to be friendlier to you. __15__. But starting the first step of positive expectations can make all the difference.

A. Choose the right people. B. Loneliness won’t last long.

C. So consider becoming a volunteer. D. Reach out to others but start small.

E. It can be hard work to be positive toward others. F. Maybe it's the drama club or the marching band. G. This harmful attitude can continue into adulthood. 第二部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)
