Teenagers in England do much the same as children in America do.They enjoy sending messages by their mobile phones and they also like swimming,listening to the latest music,watching TV and surfing the Internet.
How do teenagers in England spend their free time and holidays Let’s follow Sally,a British teenager,and spend five days with her during her school holiday.
Day One
After breakfast,Sally’s mother went out and left her alone at home.She checked her mobile phone during lunch—one of her friends sent her a message early in the morning.Dinner was at 6:30 p.m.After that,she finished her English homework.Then she surfed the Internet.
Day Two
Sally and her mother paid a visit to their friends and went swimming together.Later,they went shopping for clothes and books,and had dinner in a restaurant.
Day Three
She went to the supermarket with her mother to buy fish and chips for lunch as well as some pens.After she got back home,she spent the next few hours surfing the Internet and watching TV.
Day Four
She surfed the Internet.Her mother took her out for lunch before she went to work.She then read stories after lunch.
Day Five
She woke up at 2 p.m.,and so did her mother.They went to a park.Her mother met some friends there.When they got home,it was already time for dinner.Afterwards,she did her homework until 10 p.m.
21.When did Sally do her homework

C.At lunch time. D.In the evening.
22.Sally and her mother went shopping for the second time to buy .

Most parents have comforted their children after nightmares(噩梦).But if your child has ever had what’s known as a night terror(夜惊症) or sleep terror,his or her fear was likely difficult to be comforted no matter what you tried.
During a night terror,a child might suddenly sit upright in bed,or shout out or scream,have faster breathing and a quicker heartbeat,or be sweating.After a few minutes,or some time longer,the child simply calms down and returns to sleep.Unlike nightmares,which kids often remember,kids won’t have any memory of a night terror the next day because they were in a deep sleep when it happened. So there are no mental images to recall.
Night terrors happen in only 3%-6% of kids,while almost every child will have a nightmare sometimes.Night terrors usually happen in kids between 4 and 12 years old,but have been reported in babies as young as 18 months.They seem to be a little more common among boys.Some kids may inherit(遗传而得) a tendency to night terrors—about 80% who have them have a family member who also had them or sleepwalking.A child might have a single night terror or several before night terrors stop.Night terrors would simply disappear as time goes by.
Night terrors can be very upsetting for parents,who might feel helpless when they can’t comfort their children.The best way to deal with a night terror is to wait it out patiently and make sure your child doesn’t get hurt if he or she is turning around in bed.Kids will settle down and return to sleep on their own in a few minutes.It’s not great to try to wake kids during night terrors.That usually doesn’t work.Kids are likely to be confused,and may take longer to settle down and go back to sleep.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Starting with a new school can be difficult.Everything seems to be different,and you don’t even know where to go for your own classes. 36 However,if you use these skills,you can quickly turn some of those strangers into friends.
Be yourself.
37 If some people don’t accept you,they’re not the kind of friends you need.People often stay together because they have similar interests.For example,someone who does a lot of sport may make friends with those who also run or swim a lot.
38
Remember to be nice to the people you meet at your new school.If you think that you will say something that may make them feel sad,do not say anything and just nod your head if they talk to you.Also,remember to be as helpful as possible!
Believe in yourself.
A smile goes a long way.When you walk in the halls,don’t keep your eyes on the floor.Raise your head and make eye contact(目光接触) with other people. 39 Introduce yourself.Tell them your name and where you’re from.
Remember people’s names.
You like it when people use your name,and so do other people. 40 Besides,ask them in a kind way if they have a nickname(昵称).You’d be surprised how often this might come in handy.
A.Be friendly to others.
B.Making new friends can be hard,too.
C.Join after-school activities you like.
D.Never change who you are to try and fit in.
E.If you see someone you know,smile or say “Hi”.
F.People may become angry if you just begin by saying “Hey” each time.
G.Don’t sit at the back of the classroom where other people don’t notice you!

It was summer,and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before.He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West.
We took a plane to Albuquerque,a big city in the state of New Mexico.We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon.Uncle Paul,my dad’s friend,picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos.
His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle.My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby.Very early in the morning,Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast.“The day starts at dawn on my farm,”he said.After breakfast,I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens,while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze(吃草).I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses.They looked really cool.
In the afternoon,I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a horse ride,and he said yes,as long as my dad went with me.I wasn’t going to take a horse ride by myself anyway.So,my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats,got on our horses,and headed slowly towards the mountains.“Don’t be late for supper,”Uncle Paul cried,“and keep to the track so that you don’t get lost!”“OK!”my dad cried back.After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight.It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks,the deep green pine trees,and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene.It looked like a beautiful woven(编织的) blanket spread out upon the ground just for us.
Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse.
We had no idea where we were and it was getting dark.
参考答案
A
21D细节理解题。根据文章Day one第三、四句和最后一段中的“Afterwards,she did her homework until 10 p.m.”可知,Sally在晚上写作业。
22.A细节理解题。根据文章Day Three部分“to buy fish and chips for lunch as well as some pens”可知Sally和妈妈是去买午饭和笔。
23.A推理判断题。根据文章内容可知Sally在第一天、第三天和第四天均要上网,可推断出上网已经成为青少年生活中不可或缺的一部分。
B
24.:B推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知,在做了噩梦之后,大多数父母都会安慰他们的孩子。但如果你的孩子曾经有过所谓的夜惊症或睡眠恐惧,那么无论你怎么努力,他或她的恐惧都很难得到安慰。由此可推知,夜惊症比噩梦更为严重。
25:B细节理解题。根据第二段的“Unlike nightmares,which kids often remember,kids won’t have any memory of a night terror the next day because they were in a deep sleep when it happened.”可知,与孩子们经常记得的噩梦不同的是,孩子们不会对前一天晚上的夜惊有任何记忆,因为夜惊发生时他们正在熟睡。由此可知,在夜惊症之后,孩子们不会记得发生了什么。
26.C细节理解题。根据第三段的“Night terrors usually happen in kids between 4 and 12 years old,but have been reported in babies as young as 18 months.They seem to be a little more common among boys.”可知,夜惊症通常发生在4到12岁的儿童身上,但也有报道发生在18个月大的婴儿身上。它们似乎在男童中比较常见。由此可知,8岁的男孩更有可能有夜惊症。
27.D主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知,第一段介绍了夜惊症比噩梦严重;第二段介绍了夜惊症的具体症状及表现;第三段介绍了易患夜惊症的儿童年龄段以及其成因;第四段介绍了夜惊症的应对方式。由此可知,本文主要围绕夜惊症以及其应对方式展开介绍,由此可知。
C
28.A由第一段中的“...because she has been there for me all the time whenever I need a friend to talk to.”可知,每当作者需要帮助的时候Susie都会伸出援助之手,故作者把她当作难得的朋友。
29.D由第二段中的“...I realised that she needed to keep a strict image in order for her actors and actresses to take her seriously.”可知Susie为了让演员们认真对待她,她需要保持严肃的形象。故intimidating意为“令人害怕的”。
30B根据第三段中的“One day I searched the Internet without any purpose and to my surprise...”可知,作者是偶然发现这个礼物的。
31C根据最后一段中的“...so that it’ll remind us that we’ll forever be friends.”可知,作者这样做是为了让她们永远记住她们的友谊。
D
32.D细节理解题。根据第一段的“Before Carlos,Mike and Julie MacKinnon already had their hands full with three teenagers,Sarah,Cameron and Zach.”可知,在Carlos(来到他们家)之前,Mike和Julie已经有三个孩子,Sarah,Cameron和Zach。
33.C词义猜测题。根据第二段的“...because he wasn’t allowed to stay there by himself as a minor.His mum had left and he was on his own.”可知,因为他不被允许作为一个未成年人待在那里。他的妈妈已经离开了,剩下他一个人。由此可知,他是被迫离开他的公寓。
34.D推理判断题。根据第三段的“‘I didn’t have to worry about things like food,paying for school and some other things,’Carlos said.The MacKinnons saw their lives change too.‘He has an unbelievable smile,’Mike said.‘He’s taught us to slow down and appreciate each moment.’”可知,Carlos说“我不必担心食物、支付学费和其他东西”。MacKinnon一家的生活也在改变。Mike说,“他带着难以置信的微笑。他教我们放慢脚步,欣赏每一刻。”由此可知,Carlos的到来使Carlos和MacKinnon一家的生活都发生了改变。
35.B推理判断题。根据最后一段,在他们的支持下,Carlos从高中毕业,来到了托马斯学院。他成了篮球队的优秀运动员。Carlos在这个家庭经历了很多。Carlos 说:“有人可以信任你,一直都会支持你,这很好。”综上可知,Carlos在新家生活得很幸福。

Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse.Dad and I found it was so lovely that we decided to run after it.After a while,we got completely lost in the forest.There was nothing left in our sight but the trees.“We may not be able to return to the farm house in time for supper.” I thought to myself.After a series of attempts to find a way out,we felt hungry and tired.
We had no idea where we were and it was getting dark.We got stuck in the forest.And an unexpected shower added to the difficulty of us in finding a way to the farm house,for all the tracks we had made disappeared because of the rain.I was almost on the edge of breaking down when my father said,“Don’t worry,my son.I remember there is a river near the farm house.Find the river and we will be back home.” Finally,we found the river and got back to the house along it.Needless to say,we ate a late dinner.
