新生挑战
你好！我叫亚当，是一名高中新生。从初中过渡到高中真是一项巨大的挑战。第一周就有点儿令人困惑。
首先，我必须仔细考虑我想修哪些课程。学校的指导老师帮我选择了适合我的课程：数学、英语、化学、世界历史和中文。我知道中文是一门很难的语言，但我希望毕业时能说一口流利的中文。我的指导老师建议我选修高级文学，因为我喜欢英语，而且擅长英语。
我也必须选择课外活动。我想加入学校足球队，但教练说我踢得还不够好。显然，我很不高兴，但我不会放弃。我会找到一个自我提升的方法，这样明年我就能加入球队。我加入了一个志愿者俱乐部。每周三，我们会在食品救济站里干活，把食物分发给社区里的无家可归者。
我知道作为一名高中生，我必须更加努力地学习，并且要适应承担更多的责任。我有点儿担心我在高级课程上跟不上其他学生，并且很难适应所有的家庭作业。不过，我还是很高兴来到这里。刻苦学习不总是那么有趣的，但我会为上大学或是未来其他的任何事情做好充分的准备。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
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 recognise 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 concern with them can help you develop friendships.
The work in high school is something that freshmen are probably 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 extra curricular 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.

B
Kyle Schwartz, a new teacher at Doull Elementary School in Denver, teaches a third grade class. Most of her students come from underprivileged homes, as 92 percent are entitled (符合资格) to free or reduced school lunches, she said.
“As a new teacher, I tried to understand my students' real lives and how to best support them. I just felt like there was something I didn't know about my students，” she said. To solve this problem, she asked her students to complete the sentence：“I wish my teacher knew...”
While some children used the notes to jokingly complain (抱怨) about homework or to ask for more playtime, Ms.Schwartz said some of the answers were “heartbreaking”， as children showed their hard lives. One student told Ms.Schwartz that he did not have any pencils at home, while another said that they hadn't seen their father for six years. And another student wrote, “I wish my teacher knew sometimes my homework is not signed(签字) because my mom is not around a lot.”
She posted them to Twitter in March with the hashtag # I Wish My Teacher Knew #. Teachers on Twitter soon noticed how successful Ms. Schwartz's trick (策略) was for reaching out to students, and began sharing similar notes they received alongside # I Wish My Teacher Knew #.
Ms.Schwartz said that since she encouraged her students to share their secrets, students have been supporting each other more, and she hopes the method will connect students and their families with the proper resources (资源) they need to live comfortably, She added that the results have been surprising, and the student that said she didn't have anyone to play with has since been invited by classmates to join them in the school playground.

新生挑战
你好！我叫亚当，是一名高中新生。从初中过渡到高中真是一项巨大的挑战。第一周就有点儿令人困惑。
首先，我必须仔细考虑我想修哪些课程。学校的指导老师帮我选择了适合我的课程：数学、英语、化学、世界历史和中文。我知道中文是一门很难的语言，但我希望毕业时能说一口流利的中文。我的指导老师建议我选修高级文学，因为我喜欢英语，而且擅长英语。
我也必须选择课外活动。我想加入学校足球队，但教练说我踢得还不够好。显然，我很不高兴，但我不会放弃。我会找到一个自我提升的方法，这样明年我就能加入球队。我加入了一个志愿者俱乐部。每周三，我们会在食品救济站里干活，把食物分发给社区里的无家可归者。
我知道作为一名高中生，我必须更加努力地学习，并且要适应承担更多的责任。我有点儿担心我在高级课程上跟不上其他学生，并且很难适应所有的家庭作业。不过，我还是很高兴来到这里。刻苦学习不总是那么有趣的，但我会为上大学或是未来其他的任何事情做好充分的准备。

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 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 recognise 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 concern with them can help you develop friendships.
The work in high school is something that freshmen are probably 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 extra curricular 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.

Kyle Schwartz, a new teacher at Doull Elementary School in Denver, teaches a third grade class. Most of her students come from homes, as 92 percent are entitled (符合资格) to free or reduced school lunches, she said.
“As a new teacher, I tried to understand my students' real lives and how to best support them. I just felt like there was something I didn't know about my students，” she said. To solve this problem, she asked her students to complete the sentence：“I wish my teacher knew...”
While some children used the notes to jokingly complain (抱怨) about homework or to ask for more playtime, Ms.Schwartz said some of the answers were “heartbreaking”， as children showed their hard lives. One student told Ms.Schwartz that he did not have any pencils at home, while another said that they hadn't seen their father for six years. And another student wrote, “I wish my teacher knew sometimes my homework is not signed(签字) because my mom is not around a lot.”
She posted them to Twitter in March with the hashtag # I Wish My Teacher Knew #. Teachers on Twitter soon noticed how successful Ms. Schwartz's trick (策略) was for reaching out to students, and began sharing similar notes they received alongside # I Wish My Teacher Knew #.
Ms.Schwartz said that since she encouraged her students to share their secrets, students have been supporting each other more, and she hopes the method will connect students and their families with the proper resources (资源) they need to live comfortably, She added that the results have been surprising, and the student that said she didn't have anyone to play with has since been invited by classmates to join them in the school playground.
5．What does the underlined word “underprivileged” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A．Comfortable. B．Happy.
C．Broken. D．Poor.
6．Why did Kyle ask her students to complete the sentence
A．To better understand them.
B．To encourage their creativity.
C．To develop their writing skills.
D．To teach them to introduce themselves.

A．Uncaring. B．Worried.
C．Surprised. D．Supportive.
8．How did Kyle look at her trick
A．It was difficult for her students.
B．It might upset some students.
C．It helped her students in many ways.
D．It would improve her school's environment.
