Sharon, Age 22
The most important thing to keep in mind when going into high school is to be yourself. Besides, I don't know what your middle school was like, but high school teacher will not care about things such as how much homework you already have in one night. It's best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to.
Frank, Aged 21
I think almost every kid feels both nervous and excited before their first day. You will probably love it. I did. You should join in some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck!
Eddie, Aged 20
When I started high school, I was really nervous too, especially since I had been homeschooled all through middle school and didn't 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 19
I'm not going to lie. The first day is kind frightening. But you'll get used to it. Don't be afraid of anyone; upperclassmen will pick on you more if you let them know you’re 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 it's really not bad at all. Don't worry.

I don’t remember the exact date I met Marty for the first time. Like a lot of people who want to get through a checkout line, I found my thoughts on speed, nothing more. The line I was standing in wasn’t moving as quickly as I wanted, and I glanced toward the cashier, who was receiving money from customers.
He was an old man in his sixties. I thought, well, it probably took him a little longer to get the jobs done. For the next few minutes I watched him. He greeted every customer before he began scanning the goods they were purchasing. Sure, his words were the usual, “How’s it going ” But he did something different—he actually listened to people. Then he would respond to what they had said and talk with them briefly.
I thought it was strange, but I guessed I had grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of a conversation without thinking. Usually, after a while, you don’t give any thought to the question and just say something back quietly.
This old cashier seemed sincere about wanting to know how people were feeling. Meanwhile, the high-tech cash register rang up their purchases and he announced what they owed. When customers handed money to him, he pushed the appropriate keys, the cash drawer popped open, and he counted out their change.
Then magic happened.
He placed the change in his left hand, walked around the counter to the customers, and extended his right hand in an act of friendship. As their hands met, the old cashier looked the customers in the eyes. “I want to thank you for shopping here today,” he told them. “You have a great day. Bye-bye.” The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless.
Now it was my turn. I glanced down at the name tag on his red waistcoat, the kind experienced Wal-Mart cashier wore. It read, “Marty.”
Marty told me how much I owed and I handed him some money. The next thing I knew he was standing beside me, offering his right hand and holding my change in his left hand. His kind eyes locked onto mine. Smiling, and with a firm handshake…
4. While the author stood in the checkout line, she felt ________.
A. mad B. enthusiastic C. comfortable D. impatient
5. In the opinion of the author, people tended to ________.
A talk about unimportant topics B. develop a mindless conversation
C remain calm while having a talk D. face communication problems
6. The author thought Marty special because ________.
A. he spent as much time as possible serving customers
B. he was patient with all the questions from customers
C. he expressed his sincerity while giving back the change
D. he showed particular interest in customers’ personal life
7. What can we infer from the passage
A. Marty was a talkative man.
B. Marty cared a lot about what he did.
C. The author failed to get along well with others.
D. The author was dissatisfied with such a waste of time.
C
Over the years, Brian Wansink, director of the Food and Brand Lab at Cornell University, has studied such things as how far Americans typically drive to buy food, how many times we refill our plates at all-you-can-eat buffets and how we organize our kitchens. In the mid-2000s he famously coined the phrase “mindless eating” (and wrote a book by that name) to focus attention on all the bad dietary decisions we make without really thinking about them.
His new book, Slim by Design: Mindless Eating Solutions for Everyday Life, aims to change the design of restaurants, school lunchrooms, office cafeterias and homes so that the mindless choices we make will be more healthful ones. Some examples:
Keep kitchen counters clear. No visible snack food, no bread, no nuts — not even breakfast cereal. In Wansink’s research, “women who had even one box of breakfast cereal that was visible — anywhere in their kitchen — weighed 21 pounds more than their neighbor who didn’t.”
Trick yourself into drinking less wine. “We tend to focus on the height of what we pour and not the width, so we pour 12 percent less wine into taller wineglasses than we pour into wider wineglasses.” And the shape of the glass is not the only variable that affects how much we drink. Wansink writes: “Because red wine is easier to see than white wine, we pour 9 percent less red wine whenever we pour a glass.”
Wansink said his researchers also found that people ate less at restaurants when sitting in well-lighted areas near windows and doors, than in darker areas or in the back. They ate less if they were offered a doggie bag, or to-go box, before they got their meals: apparently the idea of getting a “free” second meal outweighed the impulse (冲动) to clean their plates. Workers who frequently ate at their desks weighed 15.4 pounds less, on average, than those who didn’t. Fruits and vegetables kept on the top shelf of the refrigerator were eaten at higher rates than those on lower shelves.
The point, Wansink says, is to consider findings like those and change your environment or habits. Then you won’t have to think about it: You’ll just eat less.
8. Why did Brian Wansink write Slim by Design: Mindless Eating Solutions for Everyday Life
A. Because he wanted people to become thin.
B. Because he intended to help people eat more healthily.
C. Because he hoped to coin a new phrase “mindless earing”.
D. Because he wished to change the design of dining places.
9. According to Wansink, which of the following affects the amount of wine we drink
A. The shape of wineglasses. B. The color of wineglasses.
C. The taste of wine. D. The quality of wine.
10. The underlined phrase a “doggie bag” in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.
A. a bag for carrying B. a box for takeaway food
C. a bag for carrying dog food D. a container for leftovers
11. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. Changing environment or eating habits will help you eat less.
B. Eating fruits and vegetables is better for your health.
C. Keeping your kitchen counter clear of any food will help make you thin.
D. Many people eat or drink too much without paying attention to it.
D
Robots that can cook are in growing demand(需求)in the United States. The increased demand comes at a time when restaurants are trying to put some distance between their workers and customers during the COVID-19.
In a few weeks, White Castle restaurants will test a robot arm that can cook French fries and other foods. The robot, called Flippy, is a product of Miso Robotics, a company based in Pasadena, California.
Robot food service was becoming popular even before the coronavirus pandemic(冠状病毒). Hospitals, college dining areas and other places tried to meet demand for food while keeping labor costs low. Robot chefs appeared at places like Creator, a restaurant in San Francisco. Now, some say, robots may become necessary for the food service industry. "I expect in the next two years you will see much more robotic adoption(采纳)in the food space because of COVID-19," Jain said.
Some peoples say, robots can lower the demand for labor. At the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock, cafe workers used to spend six hours per day making salads, notes Tonya Johnson, the school's director of nutrition services. But two years ago, the university added a Sally, a kind of robot that now makes around 40 salads per day. By adding Sally, the school was able to cut a job opening in its cooking staff, Johnson said. "I think the pandemic has made us realize how much we need more equipment like Sally," Johnson said.
Miso Robotics co-founder and chief Buck Jordan said fast food restaurants are already having trouble finding workers, partly as a result of a losing population of young workers. Jordan added that his company's position is that "automation(自动化)is not a choice". He added, "You must automate in order to survive in the future."
12. Why is robot food service becoming popular
A. It can take the place of human beings in the future.
B. It can shorten the distance between workers and customers.
C. It can meet the demand for food and reduce the cost of labor.
D. It can make all kinds of delicious food in a very short time.
13. What does Johnson say about Sally
A. It is just a common robot like others. B. It is useless to improve the speed of work.
C. It makes as many salads as workers. D. It helps the school employ fewer workers.
14. What's Jordan's attitude to automation
A. Worried. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Uncaring.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. The popularity of robots in the food space.
B. The reason for choosing robots in restaurants.
C. More demand for robot cooks in US restaurants.
D. The difficulties in finding enough labor workers.

Some kids find it hard to lose in a game, but everyone needs to learn how to deal with it. Learning to lose without losing your cool is a skill. Like learning to ride a bike, you might not be able to do it at first, but over time it will get easier.___16___

If you feel like crying later or you want to complain about the game, you can do that.___18___After a little time passes, you might not feel as upset as you were right when the game ended.
Sometimes kids lose on their own, like in a neighborhood game of basketball. These situations can be especially hard if there are no grownups around to be the referees(栽判).___19___It's good for kids to learn to play without a grownup deciding everything but it can also lead to a lot of arguing.
___20___Some kids might cheat or bend the rules, but you can do your best to be fair. Even if they're not, you certainly won't be accused of cheating or playing unfairly. You've done your part to bring good sportsmanship to the game.

B. Learn the rules of the game.
C. But you'd better do it off the field.

He placed the change in his left hand, walked around the counter to the customers, and extended his right hand in an act of friendship. As their hands met, the old cashier looked the customers in the eyes. “I want to thank you for shopping here today,” he told them. “You have a great day. Bye-bye.” The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless.

Over the years, Brian Wansink, director of the Food and Brand Lab at Cornell University, has studied such things as how far Americans typically drive to buy food, how many times we refill our plates at all-you-can-eat buffets and how we organize our kitchens. In the mid-2000s he famously coined the phrase “mindless eating” (and wrote a book by that name) to focus attention on all the bad dietary decisions we make without really thinking about them.
His new book, Slim by Design: Mindless Eating Solutions for Everyday Life, aims to change the design of restaurants, school lunchrooms, office cafeterias and homes so that the mindless choices we make will be more healthful ones. Some examples:
Keep kitchen counters clear. No visible snack food, no bread, no nuts — not even breakfast cereal. In Wansink’s research, “women who had even one box of breakfast cereal that was visible — anywhere in their kitchen — weighed 21 pounds more than their neighbor who didn’t.”
Trick yourself into drinking less wine. “We tend to focus on the height of what we pour and not the width, so we pour 12 percent less wine into taller wineglasses than we pour into wider wineglasses.” And the shape of the glass is not the only variable that affects how much we drink. Wansink writes: “Because red wine is easier to see than white wine, we pour 9 percent less red wine whenever we pour a glass.”
Wansink said his researchers also found that people ate less at restaurants when sitting in well-lighted areas near windows and doors, than in darker areas or in the back. They ate less if they were offered a doggie bag, or to-go box, before they got their meals: apparently the idea of getting a “free” second meal outweighed the impulse (冲动) to clean their plates. Workers who frequently ate at their desks weighed 15.4 pounds less, on average, than those who didn’t. Fruits and vegetables kept on the top shelf of the refrigerator were eaten at higher rates than those on lower shelves.
The point, Wansink says, is to consider findings like those and change your environment or habits. Then you won’t have to think about it: You’ll just eat less.
8. Why did Brian Wansink write Slim by Design: Mindless Eating Solutions for Everyday Life
A. Because he wanted people to become thin.
B. Because he intended to help people eat more healthily.
C. Because he hoped to coin a new phrase “mindless earing”.
D. Because he wished to change the design of dining places.
9. According to Wansink, which of the following affects the amount of wine we drink
A. The shape of wineglasses. B. The color of wineglasses.
C. The taste of wine. D. The quality of wine.
10. The underlined phrase a “doggie bag” in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.
A. a bag for carrying B. a box for takeaway food
C. a bag for carrying dog food D. a container for leftovers
11. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. Changing environment or eating habits will help you eat less.
B. Eating fruits and vegetables is better for your health.
C. Keeping your kitchen counter clear of any food will help make you thin.
D. Many people eat or drink too much without paying attention to it.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. A

Robots that can cook are in growing demand(需求)in the United States. The increased demand comes at a time when restaurants are trying to put some distance between their workers and customers during the COVID-19.
In a few weeks, White Castle restaurants will test a robot arm that can cook French fries and other foods. The robot, called Flippy, is a product of Miso Robotics, a company based in Pasadena, California.
Robot food service was becoming popular even before the coronavirus pandemic(冠状病毒). Hospitals, college dining areas and other places tried to meet demand for food while keeping labor costs low. Robot chefs appeared at places like Creator, a restaurant in San Francisco. Now, some say, robots may become necessary for the food service industry. "I expect in the next two years you will see much more robotic adoption(采纳)in the food space because of COVID-19," Jain said.
Some peoples say, robots can lower the demand for labor. At the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock, cafe workers used to spend six hours per day making salads, notes Tonya Johnson, the school's director of nutrition services. But two years ago, the university added a Sally, a kind of robot that now makes around 40 salads per day. By adding Sally, the school was able to cut a job opening in its cooking staff, Johnson said. "I think the pandemic has made us realize how much we need more equipment like Sally," Johnson said.
Miso Robotics co-founder and chief Buck Jordan said fast food restaurants are already having trouble finding workers, partly as a result of a losing population of young workers. Jordan added that his company's position is that "automation(自动化)is not a choice". He added, "You must automate in order to survive in the future."
12. Why is robot food service becoming popular
A. It can take the place of human beings in the future.
B. It can shorten the distance between workers and customers.
C. It can meet the demand for food and reduce the cost of labor.
D. It can make all kinds of delicious food in a very short time.
13. What does Johnson say about Sally
A. It is just a common robot like others. B. It is useless to improve the speed of work.
C. It makes as many salads as workers. D. It helps the school employ fewer workers.
14. What's Jordan's attitude to automation
A. Worried. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Uncaring.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. The popularity of robots in the food space.
B. The reason for choosing robots in restaurants.
C. More demand for robot cooks in US restaurants.
D. The difficulties in finding enough labor workers.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. C

2. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“By adding Sally, the school was able to cut a job opening in its cooking staff, Johnson said.”（约翰逊说，通过增加莎莉，学校能够裁掉一个烹饪人员的职位。）可知，Sally这个机器人相当于一个员工，可以减少雇佣一个员工。选项D与文意一致。故选D。
3.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Jordan added that his company's position is that "automation(自动化)is not a choice". He added, "You must automate in order to survive in the future."”（乔丹补充说：“他的公司的立场是“自动化不是一种选择”。他还说：“”为了在未来生存，你必须自动化。”）可知他认为自动化是必定的趋势，因此他对此是支持的 。故选B。
4. 主旨大意题。 根据文章第一段的第一句话“Robots that can cook are in growing demand(需求)in the United States. ”（能做饭的机器人在美国的需求量越来越大。）以及全文对于美国机器人厨师的介绍可知，本文主要讲述了美国餐馆对机器人厨师的需求越来越大。选项C符合文意，故选C.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇应用文。文章主要向朋友介绍自己的高中生活。
【详解】1.考查非谓语动词。句意：我在这里的高中结交了新朋友，并且在这里有很多东西可以探索。分析句子结构可知，空处是非谓语动词做后置定语，修饰a lot(很多东西)，表将来，用不定式。故填to explore。
2.考查副词。句意：首先，我必须非常仔细地考虑我想选什么课。根据前面的动词think(思考；考虑)可知，此处应用副词来修饰动词think，表示“仔细地考虑”，故填carefully。
3.考查形容词。句意：学校指导老师帮我选择了合适的课程。由后面的one可知，此处用形容词作定语，修饰one，表示“合适的”用suitable。故填suitable。
4.考查虚拟语气。句意：他建议我报高级文学，因为我喜欢英语，且擅长英语。根据句意可知，recommend表示“建议”，当recommend表示“建议”时，后面所接的宾语从句用虚拟语气，即recommend +that+主语+(should)+do，其中should可以省略，故填should sign/sign。
5.考查名词单复数。句意：其次，我不得不选择课外活动。由前面的动词choose(选择)可知，此处用名词形式作宾语，activity是可数名词，表示“活动”，根据句意可知，此处表示泛指，应用复数形式，故填activities。
6.考查连词。句意：我试图加入学校足球队，但是教练说我不够好。分析句子结构可知，前后是两个句子，且前后逻辑关系是转折关系，应用连词but，故填but。
