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
　　It is hard to say the first day of school in the United States because when the first day of school is and what happens on the first day of school usually are different by districts (地区).
The first day of school for many school districts in different states is on the day after the first Monday in September. In some other school districts, school begins in mid-to-late August. For example, the Denver, Colorado schools go back in mid-August and schools in Cleveland, Ohio start back usually one week before the first Monday in September. The Boston, Chicago, New York City and San Diego schools start back on the Tuesday or Wednesday after the first Monday in September.
Schools in Cleveland, Ohio used to start the school year on the day after the first Monday in September, but in the 1976—1977 and 1977—1978 academic years, the school year was affected by several bad snowstorms, extremely cold. In the 1978—1979 school year, the Ohio Department of Education moved the start of the year to late August, one week before the first Monday in September. This went into effect in the 1980—1981 school year.
In most school districts in Utah, the school year starts between August 25 and August 30, and goes until the last week of May or the first week in June next year.
In American high schools, the freshmen classes usually go back one or two days before the rest of the school bodies for an orientation(迎新) period. An orientation period helps the freshmen get familiar with their new school, its rules, and surroundings.
In some schools, the freshmen classes have their photographs taken for identification purposes. Some high schools have tried to make the first week of school fun for incoming freshmen.
1. According to the passage, which schools start their school year the earliest
A. Schools in Denver. B. Schools in Cleveland.
C. Schools in New York City. D. Schools in Boston.
2. Why did the Ohio Department of Education change the start of the school year
A. Because of some political events.
B. Because of the entrance examinations.
C. Because of the increasing number of students.
D. Because of the extreme weather.
3. How many months does the school year last in schools in Utah
A. About seven months. B. About eight months.
C. About nine months. D. About ten months.
4. The article is probably taken from ______.
A. a book about one’s life story B. an official website of education

　　Leaving junior high school, and going up to the big school was a very frightening change for me. I went there with no friends. The only two people who came from my previous school were two girls, Donna Davis and Sakjinda Rai, but I developed little friendship with them. At first I was scared (害怕的) and looked stupid. But after a few months, I tried keeping my arms open and making friends with people around me.
After an unsuccessful relationship with Amit Sharmar, who ran away from me whenever I said hello to him, Sher Bhachu joined me, and we seemed to have a bit in common. So I made my first friend, and I wasn’t on my own any more! But after a few days, he broke his leg, and was off for a couple of months! I was on my own again!
Anyway, when Sher finally did return, I introduced him to another friend of mine, Graeme Parker. They got on like a house on fire, but unfortunately that little threesome (三人一组) only managed to last about a week or two before they had a bit of fight, and poor Graeme went his own way. Shortly after that we met and later joined another gang. Others later joined at various stages, including Chris Elemen, Venay Maru, Amandeep Vidhani, Yaser Ghauri and Paul Barrance. It was with these people that I spent most of my life in senior high school.

B. they found they had nothing to share
C. the author moved to another school
D. his friend was off because of injury
7. According to the last paragraph, we can learn that ______.
A. the author missed his little threesome
B. the author made more friends as time went on
C. the author and Graeme had a bit of fight
D. Graeme Parker and Sher Bhachu were close friends
8. The real purpose of the author in writing this passage is to ______.

C. show his attitudes toward life in senior high school
D. tell readers his friendship in senior high school
C
The idea of turning recycled plastic bottles into clothing is not new. During the last five years，a large number of clothing companies，businesses and environmental organizations have started turning plastics into fabric to deal with plastic pollution. But there's a problem with this method. Research now shows that microfibers could be the biggest source of plastic in the sea.
Dr. Mark Browne in Santa Barbara，California，has been studying plastic pollution and microfibers for 10 years now. He explains that every time synthetic (合成的)clothes go into a washing machine，a large number of plastic fibers fall off. Most washing machines can't collect these microfibers. So every time the water gets out of a washing machine，microfibers are entering the sewers and finally end up in the sea.
In 2011，Browne wrote a paper stating that a single piece of synthetic clothing can produce more than 1,900 fibers per wash. Browne collected samples from seawater and freshwater sites around the world，and used a special way to examine each sample. He discovered that every single water sample contained microfibers.
This is bad news for a number of reasons. Plastic can cause harm to sea life when eaten. Studies have also shown that plastic can absorb other pollutants.
Based on this evidence，it may seem surprising that companies and organizations have chosen to turn plastic waste into clothing as an environmental“solution.”Even though the science has been around for a while，Browne explains that he's had a difficult time getting companies to listen. When he asked well known clothing companies to support Benign by Design—his research project that seeks to get clothes that have a bad effect on humans and the environment out of the market，Browne didn't get a satisfying answer. Only one women's clothing company，Eileen Fisher，offered Browne funding.
9．What has happened during the past five years
A．Fabric has become much stronger.
B．Plastic pollution has been less serious.
C．Many plastic bottles have been reused.
D．Microfibers have been greatly improved.
10．What does Browne think of washing synthetic clothes
A．It is adding microfibers to the clothes.
B．It is worsening environmental problems.
C．It is making synthetic clothes last longer.
D．It is doing great damage to washing machines.
11．What can be inferred about Browne's Benignby Design research project
A．It has achieved great success. B．It hasn't got anything done.
C．It is known to very few people. D．It is facing some difficulties.
12．What's the best title for the text
A．It's important to learn to recycle
B．It's never easy to solve pollution problems
C．Recycled plastic clothing：solution or pollution
D．Are human beings moving forward or backward
D
At one time，experts were against raising children in a bilingual(双语)home. They thought their brains would become confused，which would result in their developmental delays(耽误)and poor performance in studies. But we now understand that the exact opposite is true.
Children can easily learn extra languages because of the higher ability of their brain to form new neural(神经的)connections and new brain cells throughout life. While some studies suggest that learning two languages can lead to delays，these delays are short lived. In addition，the brain of the children who learn two languages can benefit unexpectedly early. By using a fun game with a disappearing puppet，researchers found that babies as young as 7 months old who are raised in bilingual homes got cognitive(认知的)benefits! A study used a memory game and found that bilingual 5 year olds answered questions faster and were more exact than their partners only learning one language.
According to a report given by the National Education Association，children who study a second language receive a rise in general development，do better in tests，are more creative，and have a better sense of achievement in school. Second language studies help kids do better in other areas of study，including improving their reading skills and social studies. Research shows that students who are able to speak a second language have better listening skills and sharper memories，and are better at solving difficult problems. From primary school to college，they score higher in tests than those who can't. And results from the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) also show that students who have studied another language—for four or more years did better in both the spoken and maths problems of the test.
In a word，learning more than one language contributes to the brain development in babies and the excellent school performance of students of all ages. Therefore，it is clear that it's never too early to learn a second language for children.
13．What did the experts once think of raising kids in a bilingual home
A．It had some advantages. B．It should be encouraged.
C．It was bad for kids' growth. D．It enriched children's childhood.
14．What can we know about bilingual kids from Paragraph 2
A．Their brains can develop surprisingly early.
B．Their brains can grow new cells quickly.
C．They react very slowly to questions.
D．They suffer from long time delays.
15．When should a child start studying a second language according to the author
A．The younger the better. B．In his/her early teens.
C．Around 5 years old. D．At primary school

Do you want to be at the top of your class？Add these tips to your life and you should be on your way to being a top student!
__16_ I cannot stress enough how important it is to pay attention to what your teacher is teaching you. Take part in class discussions if yon have something worthwhile to add. Pay attention during class, especially during lectures.
Taking notes is important. You don't need to write down every single word your teacher says but write down what he/she writes on the board, or any special fact you think you might need for a test. __17__ This way it will help you learn more effectively by actually thinking about what you are writing.
Don't skip school. You will be missing out on stuff. __18__ However, you will have more work and you have missed lectures and in class movies. Also, try not to be late for class. It's most likely that your teacher won't appreciate it and you will get yourself behind.
Keep a good attitude towards things. If you have an“I don't care about school or this class”attitude, then teachers will be less willing to help you with problems or offer you extra credit. The same goes for a lazy attitude. Have a respectful attitude to teachers and other students. __19__
Always ask questions. __20__ If you don't understand, ask someone. Read your textbook and notes, and then if that fails, seek help. Ask a teacher, friend, classmate, parent, etc. Get a tutor if you need one.

C．Staying organised will be helpful.
D．There is no shame in needing some help.
