You may not know a lot of people when you start high school. Even if you know some freshmen (新生), you still feel nervous that you don’t know any upperclassmen or teachers. How are you going to make friends among this sea of unknown faces
Most high schools hold a freshman orientation before school actually starts, which is helpful not only because you can know your way around the building and get to meet some of your teachers, but also because you get to meet fellow freshmen. That way, when you show up on your first day of school, you may already recognize a few familiar faces. When you talk to your new classmates, you’ll probably find that a lot of them are feeling just like you are. They’re all new to the school and don’t know what to expect. Talking about a common worry with them can help you develop friendships.
The work in high school is something that freshmen are possibly worried about. The work in high school builds on what you learnt in middle school, giving you a more advanced knowledge of many subjects. So you may find you have more work to do or that it’s a bit more challenging. If you ever find your work too difficult, teachers can give you extra help.
High school also has more extracurricular activities than middle school does such as clubs, music and theatre groups and sports teams. This is a good time to explore your interests and try new things.
High school gives you the chance to learn how to manage your time, to develop your social skills and interests, and more importantly to be more independent and responsible.
24. What does the underlined word “orientation” mean in paragraph 2
A. Game. B. Discussion.
C. Training. D. Examination.
25. What are freshmen probably worried about
A. The learning task. B. The ability to make friends.
C. The friendship with teacher. D. The freshman orientation.
26. Extracurricular activities mainly help students _________.
A. build up healthy bodies. B. develop their interests.
C. develop friendships. D. improve their learning ability.
27. Who is the passage written for
A. Freshmen at high school. B. Freshmen’s parents.
C. Middle school students D. Upperclassmen in high school.
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. A

【点睛】在阅读中我们经常会考查词义猜测题。事实上，阅读材料中的每个词与它前后的词语或句子甚至段落都有联系。运用逻辑推理猜测词义是使用最广考查最多也最易失分的猜词方式，这要求考生具备整合分散、复杂信息的能力，充分利用上下文（各种已知信息）并结合具体的语境推测、判断某些词或短语的词义。例如第3小题词义猜测题。划线部分是一段的总结，而下面的对话“My favorite videos are all about pets,” said Zhou Na, a nurse in Hefei, capital of East China’s Anhui province. “After a whole day’s work, watching the 15-second videos makes me laugh, which reduces my pressure.”就是对上文内容的解释，由对话的内容可知，这些短视频就是关于宠物的，人们工作了一天，看到这样的视频开怀大笑，可减轻压力。没有了压力就会冷静下来。划线词所在的句子Fans say that the short videos help them chill out from a stressed-out lifestyle.意思为“粉丝们认为这些短片帮助他们从紧张的生活中冷静下来”。即chill out意思为“冷静下来”。分析选项A. Catch a cold.感冒；B. Feel cold感觉冷；C. Calm down.平静下来；D. Become concerned开始关心。故选C。

Can you imagine a world without music Studies show that public schools across the country are cutting back on music classes to save money. Worse, some schools have never had music classes to begin with. But without them,students’ academic growth and emotional health could suffer. In fact, music classes are necessary for all students in schools.
Recent studies by Brown University have shown that students who received music education classes were better in maths and reading skills than those without music classes. Another study by the College Board found that students taking music and art classes got higher points. Students' academic success seems to depend on their taking part in music education.
Music programmes in public schools also help to add to a students sense of pride and self-confidence. Teens today have too many learning tasks. Besides, they have family problems, self-confidence problems, relationship troubles, and other troubles. All of these can stop academic success, but music education can help. A study by the Texas Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse found that students who took part in school music programmes were less likely to turn to drugs. Music programmes encourage students to work together to produce an excellent performance.
Music crosses language, class, cultural and political boundaries. Music allows students from different countries to connect. For example, at a school talent show, a new Japanese student played a piano duet with an American classmate. Although they could not communicate verbally, they were able to read the music in order to play the duet. Two students from different cultures worked as a team with self-confidence and common purpose through music.
The gift of music is priceless. We need to be sure to have necessary music classes for all students. The world is losing its music, and putting music into schools is the first step to get it back.
32. What can we learn about education with music classes
A. It allows schools to make more profits.
B. It leads to a lot of emotional problems easily.
C. It helps students to improve their schoolwork.
D. It has a great influence on the culture of the country.
33. What do the two studies seem to show
A. Not all students take part in music lessons.
B. Students with great success like to attend music lessons.
C. Music plays an important role in students’ success.
D. Students having music classes are better in all lessons.
34. The example in Paragraph 4 mainly suggests that ________.
A. different cultures have different styles of music
B. music makes cross-country communication possible
C. Japan has a good international relationship with America
D. Japanese and American students are good at playing the piano
35. What is the best title for the text
A. How to Get Music Back B. Music Education in Schools
C Music—a Bridge to Understanding D. The Importance of Listening to Music
【答案】32. C 33. C 34. B 35. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。介绍了研究表明音乐课有助于提高学生的学业，此外音乐课也有助于增强学生的自豪感和自信心，音乐跨越语言、阶级和文化，使来自不同国家的学生相互联系。作者提出需要确保所有学生都参加必要的音乐课。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Recent studies by Brown University have shown that students who received music education classes were better in maths and reading skills than those without music classes.(布朗大学最近的研究表明，接受过音乐教育的学生在数学和阅读能力上比没有上过音乐课程的学生要好)”可知，音乐课能够帮助学生提高他们的学业。故选C。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Recent studies by Brown University have shown that students who received music education classes were better in maths and reading skills than those without music classes.

Students' academic success seems to depend on their taking part in music education.(布朗大学最近的研究表明，接受过音乐教育的学生在数学和阅读能力上比没有上过音乐课程的学生要好。大学理事会的另一项研究发现，上音乐和艺术课的学生得分更高。学生的学业成功似乎取决于他们是否参加了音乐教育)”可知，这两项研究表明音乐在学生的成功中起着重要的作用。故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Music crosses language, class, cultural and political boundaries. Music allows students from different countries to connect. For example, at a school talent show, a new Japanese student played a piano duet with an American classmate. Although they could not communicate verbally, they were able to read the music in order to play the duet.(音乐跨越了语言、阶级、文化和政治的界限。音乐让来自不同国家的学生联系在一起。例如，在学校的才艺表演中，一个新来的日本学生和一个美国同学演奏了钢琴二重唱。虽然他们不能口头交流，但他们能够读懂音乐来演奏二重唱)”可推知，第四段的例子主要说明了音乐使跨国交流成为可能。故选B。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The gift of music is priceless. We need to be sure to have necessary music classes for all students. The world is losing its music, and putting music into schools is the first step to get it back.(音乐这份礼物是无价的。我们必须确保所有学生都有必要的音乐课。这个世界正在失去它的音乐，把音乐引入学校是找回它的第一步)”结合文章主要介绍了研究表明音乐课有助于提高学生的学业，此外音乐课也有助于增强学生的自豪感和自信心，音乐跨越语言、阶级和文化，使来自不同国家的学生相互联系。作者提出需要确保所有学生都参加必要的音乐课，可知，B选项“学校音乐教育”最符合文章标题。故选B。

In China, traveling by train is a common way to visit new places and go back to one’s hometown during holidays.___36___ It wasn’t always that way, though.
___37___ Later, many railway companies started up and competed with each other to build new railway routes. Trains became a symbol of progress, with New York City’s Grand Central Station becoming a major cultural landmark(地标).____38____ For example, Johnny Cash wrote a song called Folsom Prison Blues.
But little by little, railways were replaced by highways as “car culture” took over the US. China would go on to use trains even more widely than the US. _____39_____It allows people to travel fast with ease. This is especially obvious during Chunyun, when China’s train stations are crowded with thousands of people who are trying to get home.
I had never traveled by train until I moved to China. My first trip by train was from Beijing to Tianjin by high-speed train. It was amazing how quickly I could get there-just half an hour. Since then, I’ve taken the train to lots of other cities—Shanghai, Chongqing and Shenzhen. It’s always a good time. ____40____ And for some reason, even instant noodles taste better on the train than they do anywhere else.
A. Musicians even created music works about trains.
B. The US railway system started to grow in 1826.
C. People on the train tend to be friendly and happy to chat.
D. China’s railway network connects the entire country.

【36题详解】
根据上文In China, traveling by train is a common way to visit new places and go back to one’s hometown during holidays.(在中国，乘火车旅行是一种常见的方式，在假期期间，去新的地方旅行，回到自己的家乡)以及后文It wasn’t always that way, though.(不过，事情并不总是这样的)由此可知，本句承上启下，结合下一段中提到了美国火车的发展可推知，本句应当是提到在美国坐火车的情况。故E选项“但是在美国，坐火车旅行是一个非常古老的传统”符合语境，故选E。
【37题详解】
根据后文Later, many railway companies started up and competed with each other to build new railway routes. Trains became a symbol of progress, with New York City’s Grand Central Station becoming a major cultural landmark(地标).可知后来，许多铁路公司纷纷成立，互相竞争修建新的铁路线路。火车成为进步的象征，纽约的中央车站成为一个主要的文化地标。由此可知，本句是在说明美国铁路系统开始发展起来的时间。故B选项“美国铁路系统在1826年开始发展”符合语境，故选B。

根据上文Trains became a symbol of progress, with New York City’s Grand Central Station becoming a major cultural landmark(地标).(火车成为进步的象征，纽约的中央车站成为一个主要的文化地标)后文For example, Johnny Cash wrote a song called Folsom Prison Blues.可知例如，Johnny Cash写了一首叫做Folsom Prison Blues的歌。由此可推知，美国当时的火车成为进步的象征，于是有人写了与火车有关的歌曲。故A选项“音乐家们甚至创作了关于火车的音乐作品”符合语境，故选A。
【39题详解】
根据上文China would go on to use trains even more widely than the US.( 中国将继续比美国更广泛地使用火车)以及后文It allows people to travel fast with ease. This is especially obvious during Chunyun, when China’s train stations are crowded with thousands of people who are trying to get home.(它使人们可以轻松快捷地旅行。这在春运期间尤其明显，此时中国的火车站挤满了成千上万想回家的人)由此可知，本句承接上文说明，中国广泛使用火车的具体表现，如铁路网连接全国，使人们可以轻松快捷地旅行。故D选项“中国的铁路网连接全国”符合语境，故选D。
【40题详解】
根据上文It’s always a good time.(这总是一段美好的时光)以及后文And for some reason, even instant noodles taste better on the train than they do anywhere else.(而且，由于某些原因，即使是方便面在火车上吃起来也比在其他地方吃起来好吃)由此可知，本句承接上文，说明火车上的时光美好的具体表现，后文提到了食物好吃，那么本句应当是说明火车上的人们很友好，乐于和人聊天。故C选项“火车上的人往往很友好，也很乐意聊天”符合语境，故选C。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者读大学时因为空余时间太多，反而养成了拖沓的习惯。相比之下他的同学却利用工作之余通过副业挣了很多钱。文章告诉我们，要让自己的时间充实，才能把事情做好，才有成功的机会。
【详解】1.考查动词词义辨析。句意：我回忆起高中时，我花了大部分时间在学校，因为我还参加了一个运动队。A. remember记得，记起；B. admit承认；C. understand理解；D. expect期待。根据“When I got into college”可知，此处是作者在回忆高中时的生活，用“记得”符合语境，故选A。
2.考查固定短语辨析。句意：我到家的时候只有几个小时做作业，我不得不立刻做。A. in person亲自；B. at once立刻；马上；C. up close近距离；D. in case以防万一。与下文immediately相呼应，故选B。
3.考查动词词义辨析。句意：当我进入大学，情况变了。A.happened发生；B. existed存在；C. changed变化；D. mattered有关系；重要。根据下文描写可知在大学不是立刻做作业了，而是习惯了把作业一拖再拖，所以情况变了。故选C。
4.考查形容词词义辨析。句意：由于这些额外的时间，我没有立即做功课的紧迫感。A. extra额外的；B. difficult困难的；C. valuable有价值的；D. limited有限的。由上文的“I suddenly found myself out of class before noon time.”可知，作者发现中午前就下课了，说明下午是没课的，多出了额外的时间。故选A。

7.考查动词短语辨析。句意：后来我就到了为了完成作业而熬夜的地步。A. hanging out闲逛；B. staying up熬夜；C. stepping up增加（数量）; 提高（速度、强度等）;D. showing off炫耀。由上文语境和下文的“late at night”可知，拖延做功课成了习惯，有时会拖到晚上熬夜做功课。故选B。

9.考查形容词词义辨析。句意：因为他平时的工作很无聊，我就问他为什么不全职做副业。A. safe安全的；B. important重要的；C. boring无聊的；D. rewarding值得做的。由上文语境和常识可知，作者老同学有时间做副业，说明平时时间充裕，工作不忙、很无聊，才会有多余的时间。故选C。
10.考查介词词义辨析。句意：他说如果没有那份工作，他会有太多的时间，只会做我上大学时做的事情。A. with带有；B. without没有；C. for由于；D. within在...之内。根据下文说有太多的时间只会做大学时候相同的事情，可知是如果没有那份工作,故选B。

第二节 读后续写 （满分 25 分）
67. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was time to go home.“Remember to work on your class speeches for homework, ”Miss Walker called, as everyone started talking and packing their school bags. Jenny felt sick. She hated having to read aloud in class. She was sure everyone got really bored listening to her. Once, when Jenny was reading out her holiday diary, Lee was even looking at his watch, a silver and blue one which seemed just magical.
Jenny watched Lee walk ahead of her as they left school. He seemed so clever, and he had a certain sort of shining confidence. He was just one of those people who were good at everything. Jenny sighed. As she turned the corner, she saw Lee’s watch lying right in the middle of the path.
Jenny knew she should just pick it up and return it to him, but she didn’t want to run after him. Jenny bent down quickly, picked up the watch and ran home. On arriving home, Jenny put it on almost without thinking. She was surprised it fitted so well. She walked to the mirror and started practicing her speech. Words just flooded out of her.“I’m going to talk about swimming. I have been lucky. I’ve won lots of competitions. But when I’m in a race, I’m not really thinking about winning. I’m just loving the feeling of being in the water...”Jenny laughed with excitement. She walked across the room. She suddenly seemed to have a certain sort of confidence. Turning back to the mirror, Jenny saw a flash of light from the watch in the glass. The flashes of silver seemed almost magical. So maybe Lee’s watch really DID have something magic.
The next day, as the lesson began, Miss Walker asked who was going to be brave and go first. No-body moved. Jenny slowly raised her arm. Before Miss Walker could say anything, there was a shout from behind. “She’s stolen my watch!” Lee said angrily,“ It went missing at school yesterday.”
注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；
Paragraph 1: Everybody was fixing their eyes on Jenny, waiting for an explanation.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: At that moment, Miss Walker smiled and asked the class to listen to Jenny’s speech first.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Everybody was fixing their eyes in Jenny, waiting for an explanation. Dead silence suddenly fell. So embarrassed was Jenny that she felt her face burning and her mind going blank. Despite the unwillingness to admit it, she had actually made the most shameful mistake. Jenny was thrown into a dilemma whether to tell the truth or not. Considering the well-prepared speech and the magic of the watch, she plucked up her courage, uttering in a begging tone, “But Miss Walker, could I deliver the speech first ” All the classmates fell into tremendous curiosity, eager to witness her performance.
At that, Miss Walker smiled and asked the class to listen to Jenny’s speech. Overwhelmed with excitement, Jenny confidently made her way to the platform, words flooding out of her fluently. Never before in her life had she delivered such a terrific speech. Praises spread around the classroom and even Miss Walker nodded with approval. Feeling incredibly refreshed, Jenny finished her speech, which was greeted with thunderous applause. Relieved, Jenny exposed the truth and especially the magic of the watch. “But it’s just an ordinary watch without any magic.” announced Lee. Not until then did Jenny realize the real source of confidence comes from his effort rather than the watch.
【解析】
【分析】本文为读后续写。前文是Jenny捡到了Lee的手表，感觉自己的演讲变得流畅了。可是在她第二天要上台演讲时，Lee指认Jenny偷了他的手表，Jenny恳求老师让自己先演讲，Jenny流利的演讲得到了老师和同学们的赞扬，Jenny分享了手表有魔力的事情，可是Lee说手表没有魔力，其实是Jenny自己努力的结果。
【详解】根据前文的故事以及第一段Everybody was fixing their eyes on Jenny, waiting for an explanation.可知第一段应该是Jenny在被Lee揭穿后所做的反应，再根据第二段At that moment, Miss Walker smiled and asked the class to listen to Jenny’s speech first.可知第一段中Jenny应该是要求先听完Jenny的演讲，或者是老师要求先听Jenny的演讲，稍后处理Lee的watch的事。第二段则应该主要写Jenny演讲的效果良好以及演讲后对Lee的手表做出解释。

You may not know a lot of people when you start high school. Even if you know some freshmen (新生), you still feel nervous that you don’t know any upperclassmen or teachers. How are you going to make friends among this sea of unknown faces
Most high schools hold a freshman orientation before school actually starts, which is helpful not only because you can know your way around the building and get to meet some of your teachers, but also because you get to meet fellow freshmen. That way, when you show up on your first day of school, you may already recognize a few familiar faces. When you talk to your new classmates, you’ll probably find that a lot of them are feeling just like you are. They’re all new to the school and don’t know what to expect. Talking about a common worry with them can help you develop friendships.
The work in high school is something that freshmen are possibly worried about. The work in high school builds on what you learnt in middle school, giving you a more advanced knowledge of many subjects. So you may find you have more work to do or that it’s a bit more challenging. If you ever find your work too difficult, teachers can give you extra help.
High school also has more extracurricular activities than middle school does such as clubs, music and theatre groups and sports teams. This is a good time to explore your interests and try new things.
High school gives you the chance to learn how to manage your time, to develop your social skills and interests, and more importantly to be more independent and responsible.
24. What does the underlined word “orientation” mean in paragraph 2
A. Game. B. Discussion.
C. Training. D. Examination.
25. What are freshmen probably worried about
A. The learning task. B. The ability to make friends.
C. The friendship with teacher. D. The freshman orientation.
26. Extracurricular activities mainly help students _________.
A. build up healthy bodies. B. develop their interests.
C. develop friendships. D. improve their learning ability.
27. Who is the passage written for
A. Freshmen at high school. B. Freshmen’s parents.
C Middle school students D. Upperclassmen in high school.

Can you imagine a world without music Studies show that public schools across the country are cutting back on music classes to save money. Worse, some schools have never had music classes to begin with. But without them,students’ academic growth and emotional health could suffer. In fact, music classes are necessary for all students in schools.
Recent studies by Brown University have shown that students who received music education classes were better in maths and reading skills than those without music classes. Another study by the College Board found that students taking music and art classes got higher points. Students' academic success seems to depend on their taking part in music education.
Music programmes in public schools also help to add to a students sense of pride and self-confidence. Teens today have too many learning tasks. Besides, they have family problems, self-confidence problems, relationship troubles, and other troubles. All of these can stop academic success, but music education can help. A study by the Texas Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse found that students who took part in school music programmes were less likely to turn to drugs. Music programmes encourage students to work together to produce an excellent performance.
Music crosses language, class, cultural and political boundaries. Music allows students from different countries to connect. For example, at a school talent show, a new Japanese student played a piano duet with an American classmate. Although they could not communicate verbally, they were able to read the music in order to play the duet. Two students from different cultures worked as a team with self-confidence and common purpose through music.
The gift of music is priceless. We need to be sure to have necessary music classes for all students. The world is losing its music, and putting music into schools is the first step to get it back.
32. What can we learn about education with music classes
A. It allows schools to make more profits.
B. It leads to a lot of emotional problems easily.
C. It helps students to improve their schoolwork.
D. It has a great influence on the culture of the country.
33. What do the two studies seem to show
A. Not all students take part in music lessons.
B. Students with great success like to attend music lessons.
C. Music plays an important role in students’ success.
D. Students having music classes are better in all lessons.
34. The example in Paragraph 4 mainly suggests that ________.
A. different cultures have different styles of music
B. music makes cross-country communication possible
C. Japan has a good international relationship with America
D Japanese and American students are good at playing the piano
35. What is the best title for the text
A. How to Get Music Back B. Music Education in Schools
C. Music—a Bridge to Understanding D. The Importance of Listening to Music

67. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was time to go home.“Remember to work on your class speeches for homework, ”Miss Walker called, as everyone started talking and packing their school bags. Jenny felt sick. She hated having to read aloud in class. She was sure everyone got really bored listening to her. Once, when Jenny was reading out her holiday diary, Lee was even looking at his watch, a silver and blue one which seemed just magical.
Jenny watched Lee walk ahead of her as they left school. He seemed so clever, and he had a certain sort of shining confidence. He was just one of those people who were good at everything. Jenny sighed. As she turned the corner, she saw Lee’s watch lying right in the middle of the path.
Jenny knew she should just pick it up and return it to him, but she didn’t want to run after him. Jenny bent down quickly, picked up the watch and ran home. On arriving home, Jenny put it on almost without thinking. She was surprised it fitted so well. She walked to the mirror and started practicing her speech. Words just flooded out of her.“I’m going to talk about swimming. I have been lucky. I’ve won lots of competitions. But when I’m in a race, I’m not really thinking about winning. I’m just loving the feeling of being in the water...”Jenny laughed with excitement. She walked across the room. She suddenly seemed to have a certain sort of confidence. Turning back to the mirror, Jenny saw a flash of light from the watch in the glass. The flashes of silver seemed almost magical. So maybe Lee’s watch really DID have something magic.
The next day, as the lesson began, Miss Walker asked who was going to be brave and go first. No-body moved. Jenny slowly raised her arm. Before Miss Walker could say anything, there was a shout from behind. “She’s stolen my watch!” Lee said angrily,“ It went missing at school yesterday.”
注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；
Paragraph 1: Everybody was fixing their eyes on Jenny, waiting for an explanation.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
