Sharon, Aged 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 teachers 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 know I did. You should join 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 home- schooled 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 am not going to lie. The first day is kind of 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.
21. What can we infer from what Sharon said
A. Teachers are quite strict. B. Students often stay up at night.
C. Teachers provide little care for students. D. Students should make good use of their time.
22. How did Eddie feel on his first day of high school
A. Excited. B. Bored. C. Anxious. D. Relaxed.
23.Who mentions the importance of friends
A. Frank. B. David. C. Sharon. D. Eddie.
B
I had the meanest mother in the world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal eggs and toast. Others had Cokes and Candy for lunch, while I had to eat a sandwich. As you can guess, my supper was different from the other kids'. But at least I was not alone in my suffering. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.
My mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and what we were doing. We had to wear clean clothes every day. Other kids always wore their clothes for days. We felt embarrassed because she made our clothes herself, just to save money.
The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by 9:00 each night and up at 7:45 the next morning. So while my friends slept, my mother actually had the courage to break the Child Labor Law. She made us work. I believed she lay awake all night thinking up mean things to do to us.
Through the years, our friends' report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing. My mother, however, would merely be content with the black marks. None of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout.
She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. Using this as a background, I'm now trying to bring up my three children. I'm filled with pride when my children think I'm mean because now I thank the meanest mother in the world every day.

Pangolins (穿山甲) are strange-looking creatures, covered with hard scales (鳞). They can roll up into a ball to protect themselves from enemies and have tongues that are longer than their bodies.
Pangolins have recently become the focus of Chinese people. A screenshot (截屏) of a micro blog post showed some people eating pangolins at a feast spread. A few days later, people were angered again by pictures showing people eating protected animals, including pangolins.
Yet this is only the tip of the iceberg. Many more pangolins have been hunted or killed. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), more than 1 million of them have been killed or sold in the last 10 years. It also said that they are the most illegally traded mammals in the world. In September 2016, the IUCN added the pangolin to the world’s “endangered animals list”. They are now more endangered than pandas．
A growing trade of their scales and meat is the main reason for their decline in numbers. Many people in Asia and Africa consider pangolin meat is delicious. Some people even think pangolin scales have medicinal qualities. However, their scales are made of keratin (角蛋白), the same material human fingernails are made of.
Luckily, the situation is getting better. World Pangolin Day is on the third Saturday of February each year. It's a day to help people know more about pangolins. The government now stops anyone from buying and eating pangolins in China. Breaking this law is regarded as a crime. The trade of pangolins across the world is also not allowed, according to the Convention on Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.
28. Pangolins have caught people's attention these years because ________.
A. they look strange
B. they appear in some movies
C. they are killed and eaten by people
D. they have something to do with pandas
29. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A. Pangolins can roll up into a ball to attack enemies.
B. More than 1 million pangolins were killed or sold last year.
C. Pangolins were named the most endangered animal in 2016.
D. The pangolin is a kind of mammal traded illegally worldwide.
30. The real aim of World Pangolin Day may be to ________.
A. attract people to the zoo to watch pangolins
B. raise people's awareness of protecting pangolins
C. remind people of pangolins' medical value
D. explain the protection law to the public
31. What might be the author's attitude towards the measures taken to protect pangolins
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Disappointed. D. Unconcerned.
D
Sleep repairs the body and the mind and helps prevent disease by strengthening the immune system. However, many adults do not get eight hours of sleep each night. The average adult today gets only 6.4 hours of sleep. Only in recent years have health professionals begun to realize the seriousness of sleep deprivation in the working population. A significant number of people work at night, work long hours, or suffer from sleeplessness or jet lag.
Studies show that the brain is negatively affected by sleep deprivation because certain patterns of electrical and chemical activity that occur during sleep are interrupted and the brain cannot function normally. In one study, thirteen healthy adult subjects (实验对象) who usually had normal sleep patterns were kept awake and carefully monitored in a lab during a period of 35 hours. During the experiment, the subjects were asked to perform several tasks, such as mathematics and word problems, while undergoing scans of their brain activity. The researchers found that the temporal lobe (颞叶) of the brain, the region involved in language processing, was active during speech tasks in rested subjects but not in subjects who lacked enough sleep. After several hours without sleep, there was no activity within this region.
Several studies show that getting fewer than six hours of sleep can damage short-term memory and reaction time - thus causing a serious risk of accident. In one study of drivers, researchers reported that sleep deprivation had the same effects as being drunk. They found that people who drove after being awake for 17 hours performed worse than those with a blood alcohol level of 0.5 percent, the legal limit for drunk driving in most western European countries. The researchers concluded that countries with drunk driving laws should consider similar restrictions against sleep-deprived driving.
32. The underlined word “deprivation” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to .
A. weakness B. loss C. discomfort D. pain
33. The passage mentions all of the following as causes of sleep deprivation EXCEPT .
A. jet lag B. long work hours C. boring work D. working at night
34. The purpose of the study described in Paragraph 2 was to determine .
A. how many hours people can survive without sleep
B. how people react when their sleep is interrupted
C. the changes in brain activity that occurs during sleep
D. the effects of sleep deprivation on brain activity
35. Why does the author mention blood alcohol level in Paragraph 3
A. To show how sleep deprivation reduces the blood alcohol level.
B. To show that sleep deprivation has the same dangerous effects as being drunk.
C. To suggest that sleep-deprived drivers are also likely to drink.
D. To argue against raising the legal limit for drunk driving.
第三节 (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。
Living with other people can be difficult, especially when each person has their own ideas about how they want to live. 36 . Taking a few simple steps will help you share your living space harmoniously.
l Discuss your expectations ahead of time.
37 . This applies to finances, food, possessions, use of common areas, loud activities or parties, quiet hours and so on.
l Divide up responsibilities.
Make a plan to divide up responsibilities and chores (家常杂务) between you and your roommate. For example, if your roommate is a good cook and you are not, 38 . It may also be a good idea to set up a chores schedule, where you will take turns cleaning the bathroom, taking out the trash and so on.
l 39 .
Not everyone has the same ideas about day to day living as you do. Take your roommate's feelings into consideration. For instance, if you're dying to throw a party on Thursday night but your roommate has a final early the next morning, agree to postpone the party till Friday evening, instead.
l Communicate effectively.
Communication is key in making the relationship work. If a problem comes up, it's better to talk about it right away than to ignore it. For example, say “Chris, it upsets me when I wake up to find all the milk gone. If you use the last of something, can you please add it to the list ” If you simply cannot communicate openly and there is tension all the time, 40 .
A. Be prepared to compromise
B. Create a roommate agreement on Internet use
C. Ask him or her to cook if you'll clean up afterward
D. you may as well find a new roommate
E. Talk about what each of you needs and wants from the other in advance
F. People may have different religious or political views that could cause conflict
G. Though having a roommate can be challenging, it can also be enjoyable and fun

I have taught students in high school for the last ten years. The first couple of years, I 41 as if I was knocking my head 42 a wall. No one cared about learning and much anger was 43 .

There 61 (be) a trend recently in the food service industry toward lower fat content and less salt.

Fat and salt are very important parts of a diet. They are required 65 (process) the food that we eat, to recover from injury and for several other bodily functions. When fat and salt 66 (remove) from food, the food tastes as if it is missing something. As a result, people will eat more food to try to make up for that something missing. Even worse, the amount of fast food that people eat goes up. Fast food is full of fat and salt; by eating more fast food people will get more salt and fat 67 they need in their diet. 68 (have) enough fat and salt in your meals will reduce the urge to snack (吃点心) between meals and will improve the taste of your food.

Sleep repairs the body and the mind and helps prevent disease by strengthening the immune system. However, many adults do not get eight hours of sleep each night. The average adult today gets only 6.4 hours of sleep. Only in recent years have health professionals begun to realize the seriousness of sleep deprivation in the working population. A significant number of people work at night, work long hours, or suffer from sleeplessness or jet lag.
Studies show that the brain is negatively affected by sleep deprivation because certain patterns of electrical and chemical activity that occur during sleep are interrupted and the brain cannot function normally. In one study, thirteen healthy adult subjects (实验对象) who usually had normal sleep patterns were kept awake and carefully monitored in a lab during a period of 35 hours. During the experiment, the subjects were asked to perform several tasks, such as mathematics and word problems, while undergoing scans of their brain activity. The researchers found that the temporal lobe (颞叶) of the brain, the region involved in language processing, was active during speech tasks in rested subjects but not in subjects who lacked enough sleep. After several hours without sleep, there was no activity within this region.
Several studies show that getting fewer than six hours of sleep can damage short-term memory and reaction time - thus causing a serious risk of accident. In one study of drivers, researchers reported that sleep deprivation had the same effects as being drunk. They found that people who drove after being awake for 17 hours performed worse than those with a blood alcohol level of 0.5 percent, the legal limit for drunk driving in most western European countries. The researchers concluded that countries with drunk driving laws should consider similar restrictions against sleep-deprived driving.
32. The underlined word “deprivation” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to .
A. weakness B. loss C. discomfort D. pain
33. The passage mentions all of the following as causes of sleep deprivation EXCEPT .
A. jet lag B. long work hours C. boring work D. working at night
34. The purpose of the study described in Paragraph 2 was to determine .
A. how many hours people can survive without sleep
B. how people react when their sleep is interrupted
C. the changes in brain activity that occurs during sleep
D. the effects of sleep deprivation on brain activity
35. Why does the author mention blood alcohol level in Paragraph 3
A. To show how sleep deprivation reduces the blood alcohol level.
B. To show that sleep deprivation has the same dangerous effects as being drunk.
C. To suggest that sleep-deprived drivers are also likely to drink.
D. To argue against raising the legal limit for drunk driving.
