第一部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
On my first day of the senior high school,I asked an eleventh grader where my class was.And he told me it was “on the fourth floor,next to the pool.” I found out five minutes later that we don’t even have a fourth floor and there’s no pool either!Besides that,I didn’t have any trouble with the older kids.
I think the biggest differences between the junior and the senior high school are the homework load (工作量) and size of the school.I went from maybe fifteen minutes of homework a night to several hours,so I had to learn how to make full use of time!Our class size is around 55,but joining in clubs,sports,music,and other activities at school makes it easier to get to know people in every grade.
The best advice I can give about the years you spend in high school is to learn things for yourself,not just to get a good grade.There have been so many tests that I’ve prepared for the night before,gotten an A,and not remembered anything later.I’ve changed that this year,and I enjoy school so much more.Don’t take easy classes just to have a simple year.If you have a choice between chemistry and sports,the first will prove to be a lot more useful!
While drinking and smoking might be present in some junior high schools,they’re also around in senior high schools.I have a lot of friends who promised they’d never drink or smoke,but are now partying every weekend.If you have “fun” and spend your nights wasted instead of studying,you will regret it when you’re applying for (申请) a college.The “friends” who say you’re a loser for not partying are really not your friends at all.It’s hard to see your closest friends grow apart and go in different directions,but don’t follow their footsteps.Create your own path in life and make your own decisions.

A year back I received a full scholarship to attend the University of San Francisco.All of my hard work had paid off.My mom had spent a lot in my attending a private high school,so I made sure to push myself:I volunteered,got involved in various clubs,and graduated with honors.I was so excited to start a new chapter(篇章) of my life.I had totally packed two weeks before it was time to leave.
Soon enough,the big day came,but it wasn’t like what I had thought.The first two weeks were the most difficult days of my entire life.Every night I would cry myself to sleep.I was so homesick and I didn’t know how to deal with my broken heart.To distract myself,I threw myself into my studies and I applied for a ton of jobs.In any remaining free time,I started forcing myself to the gym.I wanted to keep every part of my day busy so I wouldn’t think how lonely I felt.
Soon after,I began to limit food,and then I became worse.Finally,I went to see a doctor.When the doctor weighed me,I was crazy about the number of my weight.So I continued to lower my goal,and convinced that controlling this number was the solution for my homesickness.But when I was told that I had no choice but to spend time on my studies,I quickly started recovery in my mind.
How could I do I told myself that school was what I was best at.I decided to get rid of my homesickness and took exercise actively.My first term of college had passed by at last and I had gotten straight A’s.That’s why I want to share my story—to help other students feel less lonely.

Researchers say spicy tomatoes could soon be on the menu thanks to the rise of gene-editing technology.
It’s not the first time that experts have claimed techniques could develop fruit with unusual features:scientists have already been looking at changing the color of kiwi fruit and bettering the taste of strawberries.
But researchers in Brazil and Ireland say such methods could also offer practical advantages,with hot tomatoes offering a new way of harvesting the pungent(辣味的) chemicals found in peppers known as capsaicinoids(辣椒素),which make food taste “hot”.
“Capsaicinoids are valuable.They are used as painkillers and there are some researches showing that they promote weight loss,” said Agustin Zsogon from a Brazilian university,a co-author of a new article arguing for the benefits of engineering hot tomatoes.
Writing in the journal Trends in Plant Science,the researchers say peppers are difficult crops to grow and low productive.Worse still,it is tricky to keep the pungency of the fruit stable.By contrast,tomato production is high and the plant is well-studied.“You could produce the capsaicinoids in a more cost-effective manner,” said Zsogon.
Tomatoes and peppers developed from a common ancestor,but separated about 19 million years ago.“All these genes to produce capsaicinoids exist in the tomato,they are just not active,” said Zsogon.“Using gene-editing technology,it is likely to switch these genes back on in tomatoes,making the fruit more special”,he said.
8.Why are the tomatoes made hot by the researchers
A.To test the gene-editing technology.
B.To improve the amount of the tomatoes.
C.To explore ways to harvest more capsaicinoids.
D.To make the tomatoes more delicious.
9.For what purpose can capsaicinoids be used according to the text
A.To put on weight.
B.To ease the pain.
C.To improve sleep.
D.To better the look.
10.What is Zsogon’s attitude to the gene-editing technology
A.Confident. B.Critical.
C.Anxious. D.Doubtful.
11.What’s the main idea of the text
A.An introduction to gene-editing plants.
B.Creating hot tomatoes by gene-editing.
C.Problems with capsaicinoid production.
D.The procedure of producing capsaicinoids.

Are you addicted to computer games Do you stay up all night playing them Do you feel happy after you play computer games
There’s no doubt that the excitement of games these days makes them hard to put down.We are attracted by the choice when it comes to gaming:You can role play —creating your own fantastic characters and stories,giving you a chance to step out of everyday life into an imaginary world.And there are shooting games where you can let out your anger and depression in violent situations where you kill people with guns.You can get excited from the games.
However,can these kinds of games really be fun and can being absorbed in virtual reality be good for us Should we worry about their effects on our health Popular games like Grand Theft Auto have been blamed for everything from falling results at school to causing acts of extreme violence.Internet safety adviser,Alan MacKenzie,thinks “any people understandably will just think that a game is just a game,not realizing the exact content that’s in there”.He gives an example of the violence,which he says is “wholly inappropriate for anybody,not to mention children”.
Others will argue that gaming is a harmless form of entertainment.There is evidence that playing video games could actually be good for us.Some games like Game of Thrones and World of Warcraft are educational and using games certainly can help children learn good qualities.Studies have also shown that the skills used in playing games can cause growth in certain areas of the brain,the ability to think in 3D and even improve our eyesight.
Video game players are also no longer just simple creatures.For some,gaming is having a positive effect on their social lives with games like Halo and World of Warcraft often being played in groups.When your group works together to win the game,your sense of achievement is higher than when winning by yourself.
So every coin has two sides.It seems that today gaming isn’t just for game fans and if used in a proper way,we can all take part.If video games have two sides,what side do you stand by
12.The author used a lot of questions at the beginning to .
A.show his worries about the effect of computer games on health
B.lead into the topic of the passage
C.ask the readers for their own opinions about games
D.doubt the advantages of playing computer games
13.Paragraph 3 mainly talks about .
A.the contents of the game are complex
B.games contain extreme violence
C.popular games lead to students’ falling results at school
D.gaming is a harmful form of entertainment
14.In paragraph 4,the author supports his idea .
A.by giving some examples
B.with descriptive words
C.by providing some numbers
D.with some research results
15.According to the passage,which of the following shows the good influence of playing games on social lives
A.Han Meimei passed the exam after playing the games.
B.Li Hua learnt many English words from playing games.
C.Sun Yan worked well with his teammates.
D.Yang Li let out his anger and expressions.

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。
16 Moving from high school into college can be especially difficult because of the freedom students experience in college along with a new set of expectations.
In high school,students usually live at home,and their parents take care of all their physical needs such as food and housing. 17 Parents are also there to offer help and make sure that the students’ homework is done.During the school day,students rarely have free time.They go directly from one class to another.Teachers are always around to tell the students what to do. 18 So students can often complete their homework and reading in a short time.
19 They may be responsible for shopping,paying bills,and doing laundry.They may also have to cook their own meals.Their parents are not around to help with homework or even to check if it has been done.Contrary to students in high school,students in college may have a lot of free time between classes,but must discipline themselves to use this time productively for homework and other assignments. 20
A.High school students have to bury themselves in piles of papers.
B.Finally,the work itself is not so challenging.
C.By contrast,in college,students often live away from home in dorms or apartments.
D.In college,students may apply to a bank loan and others will try to find part-time jobs.
E.Each new level of education brings new challenges and demands to students.
F.Most importantly,college requires a higher level of thinking and a lot more work than high school.
G.Students do not usually have to shop for their food,take time to pay bills,or even do their own laundry.

第一节
The first online life skills show with the theme of Work Creates a Better Life was held in our school hall last Friday morning,which drew the attention of every student and teacher.
Twenty students from different classes took part in it.All the participants made wonderful presentations around the theme,showing the audience the skills about cooking,gardening and first aid,which is of great use in our daily life.
Everyone thinks highly of this activity,for it is not only a good chance to help the students improve their life skills but also enriches our school life.
第二节
She remembered what Mary told her and thought she would give it a try.Amy dashed into her room,found the balloons and picked one out with an overwhelming sense of anger.Thinking about her mother’s refusal,Amy spared no effort to blow the balloon.Suddenly,the balloon exploded with a bang,making her numb with shock.It occurred to her that she should stop complaining but stay optimistic,or she would end up exploding like the balloon one day.An overwhelming sense of shame almost swallowed her and pushed her to make a change.
Amy is a changed person now.Amy changes her attitude completely.Actually,instead of complaining about everything,she begins to appreciate her life and friends.What sets Amy apart is that she volunteers to spread the function of blowing balloons in her community.She wants to do something for her neighborhood just like what Mary did for her.Her anger is well controlled even without a balloon.She is willing to take others’ suggestions into consideration,contributing to her better behavior.Instead of losing her temper all the time,she is now a polite and thoughtful girl with contagious enthusiasm.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
On my first day of the senior high school,I asked an eleventh grader where my class was.And he told me it was “on the fourth floor,next to the pool.” I found out five minutes later that we don’t even have a fourth floor and there’s no pool either!Besides that,I didn’t have any trouble with the older kids.
I think the biggest differences between the junior and the senior high school are the homework load (工作量) and size of the school.I went from maybe fifteen minutes of homework a night to several hours,so I had to learn how to make full use of time!Our class size is around 55,but joining in clubs,sports,music,and other activities at school makes it easier to get to know people in every grade.
The best advice I can give about the years you spend in high school is to learn things for yourself,not just to get a good grade.There have been so many tests that I’ve prepared for the night before,gotten an A,and not remembered anything later.I’ve changed that this year,and I enjoy school so much more.Don’t take easy classes just to have a simple year.If you have a choice between chemistry and sports,the first will prove to be a lot more useful!
While drinking and smoking might be present in some junior high schools,they’re also around in senior high schools.I have a lot of friends who promised they’d never drink or smoke,but are now partying every weekend.If you have “fun” and spend your nights wasted instead of studying,you will regret it when you’re applying for (申请) a college.The “friends” who say you’re a loser for not partying are really not your friends at all.It’s hard to see your closest friends grow apart and go in different directions,but don’t follow their footsteps.Create your own path in life and make your own decisions.

A year back I received a full scholarship to attend the University of San Francisco.All of my hard work had paid off.My mom had spent a lot in my attending a private high school,so I made sure to push myself:I volunteered,got involved in various clubs,and graduated with honors.I was so excited to start a new chapter(篇章) of my life.I had totally packed two weeks before it was time to leave.
Soon enough,the big day came,but it wasn’t like what I had thought.The first two weeks were the most difficult days of my entire life.Every night I would cry myself to sleep.I was so homesick and I didn’t know how to deal with my broken heart.To distract myself,I threw myself into my studies and I applied for a ton of jobs.In any remaining free time,I started forcing myself to the gym.I wanted to keep every part of my day busy so I wouldn’t think how lonely I felt.
Soon after,I began to limit food,and then I became worse.Finally,I went to see a doctor.When the doctor weighed me,I was crazy about the number of my weight.So I continued to lower my goal,and convinced that controlling this number was the solution for my homesickness.But when I was told that I had no choice but to spend time on my studies,I quickly started recovery in my mind.
How could I do I told myself that school was what I was best at.I decided to get rid of my homesickness and took exercise actively.My first term of college had passed by at last and I had gotten straight A’s.That’s why I want to share my story—to help other students feel less lonely.

Researchers say spicy tomatoes could soon be on the menu thanks to the rise of gene-editing technology.
It’s not the first time that experts have claimed techniques could develop fruit with unusual features:scientists have already been looking at changing the color of kiwi fruit and bettering the taste of strawberries.
But researchers in Brazil and Ireland say such methods could also offer practical advantages,with hot tomatoes offering a new way of harvesting the pungent(辣味的) chemicals found in peppers known as capsaicinoids(辣椒素),which make food taste “hot”.
“Capsaicinoids are valuable.They are used as painkillers and there are some researches showing that they promote weight loss,” said Agustin Zsogon from a Brazilian university,a co-author of a new article arguing for the benefits of engineering hot tomatoes.
Writing in the journal Trends in Plant Science,the researchers say peppers are difficult crops to grow and low productive.Worse still,it is tricky to keep the pungency of the fruit stable.By contrast,tomato production is high and the plant is well-studied.“You could produce the capsaicinoids in a more cost-effective manner,” said Zsogon.
Tomatoes and peppers developed from a common ancestor,but separated about 19 million years ago.“All these genes to produce capsaicinoids exist in the tomato,they are just not active,” said Zsogon.“Using gene-editing technology,it is likely to switch these genes back on in tomatoes,making the fruit more special”,he said.
8.Why are the tomatoes made hot by the researchers
A.To test the gene-editing technology.
B.To improve the amount of the tomatoes.
C.To explore ways to harvest more capsaicinoids.
D.To make the tomatoes more delicious.
9.For what purpose can capsaicinoids be used according to the text
A.To put on weight.
B.To ease the pain.
C.To improve sleep.
D.To better the look.
10.What is Zsogon’s attitude to the gene-editing technology
A.Confident. B.Critical.
C.Anxious. D.Doubtful.
11.What’s the main idea of the text
A.An introduction to gene-editing plants.
B.Creating hot tomatoes by gene-editing.
C.Problems with capsaicinoid production.
D.The procedure of producing capsaicinoids.

Are you addicted to computer games Do you stay up all night playing them Do you feel happy after you play computer games
There’s no doubt that the excitement of games these days makes them hard to put down.We are attracted by the choice when it comes to gaming:You can role play —creating your own fantastic characters and stories,giving you a chance to step out of everyday life into an imaginary world.And there are shooting games where you can let out your anger and depression in violent situations where you kill people with guns.You can get excited from the games.
However,can these kinds of games really be fun and can being absorbed in virtual reality be good for us Should we worry about their effects on our health Popular games like Grand Theft Auto have been blamed for everything from falling results at school to causing acts of extreme violence.Internet safety adviser,Alan MacKenzie,thinks “any people understandably will just think that a game is just a game,not realizing the exact content that’s in there”.He gives an example of the violence,which he says is “wholly inappropriate for anybody,not to mention children”.
Others will argue that gaming is a harmless form of entertainment.There is evidence that playing video games could actually be good for us.Some games like Game of Thrones and World of Warcraft are educational and using games certainly can help children learn good qualities.Studies have also shown that the skills used in playing games can cause growth in certain areas of the brain,the ability to think in 3D and even improve our eyesight.
Video game players are also no longer just simple creatures.For some,gaming is having a positive effect on their social lives with games like Halo and World of Warcraft often being played in groups.When your group works together to win the game,your sense of achievement is higher than when winning by yourself.
So every coin has two sides.It seems that today gaming isn’t just for game fans and if used in a proper way,we can all take part.If video games have two sides,what side do you stand by
12.The author used a lot of questions at the beginning to .
A.show his worries about the effect of computer games on health
B.lead into the topic of the passage
C.ask the readers for their own opinions about games
D.doubt the advantages of playing computer games
13.Paragraph 3 mainly talks about .
A.the contents of the game are complex
B.games contain extreme violence
C.popular games lead to students’ falling results at school
D.gaming is a harmful form of entertainment
14.In paragraph 4,the author supports his idea .
A.by giving some examples
B.with descriptive words
C.by providing some numbers
D.with some research results
15.According to the passage,which of the following shows the good influence of playing games on social lives
A.Han Meimei passed the exam after playing the games.
B.Li Hua learnt many English words from playing games.
C.Sun Yan worked well with his teammates.
D.Yang Li let out his anger and expressions.

16 Moving from high school into college can be especially difficult because of the freedom students experience in college along with a new set of expectations.
In high school,students usually live at home,and their parents take care of all their physical needs such as food and housing. 17 Parents are also there to offer help and make sure that the students’ homework is done.During the school day,students rarely have free time.They go directly from one class to another.Teachers are always around to tell the students what to do. 18 So students can often complete their homework and reading in a short time.
19 They may be responsible for shopping,paying bills,and doing laundry.They may also have to cook their own meals.Their parents are not around to help with homework or even to check if it has been done.Contrary to students in high school,students in college may have a lot of free time between classes,but must discipline themselves to use this time productively for homework and other assignments. 20
A.High school students have to bury themselves in piles of papers.
B.Finally,the work itself is not so challenging.
C.By contrast,in college,students often live away from home in dorms or apartments.
D.In college,students may apply to a bank loan and others will try to find part-time jobs.
E.Each new level of education brings new challenges and demands to students.
F.Most importantly,college requires a higher level of thinking and a lot more work than high school.
G.Students do not usually have to shop for their food,take time to pay bills,or even do their own laundry.

第二节
She remembered what Mary told her and thought she would give it a try.Amy dashed into her room,found the balloons and picked one out with an overwhelming sense of anger.Thinking about her mother’s refusal,Amy spared no effort to blow the balloon.Suddenly,the balloon exploded with a bang,making her numb with shock.It occurred to her that she should stop complaining but stay optimistic,or she would end up exploding like the balloon one day.An overwhelming sense of shame almost swallowed her and pushed her to make a change.
Amy is a changed person now.Amy changes her attitude completely.Actually,instead of complaining about everything,she begins to appreciate her life and friends.What sets Amy apart is that she volunteers to spread the function of blowing balloons in her community.She wants to do something for her neighborhood just like what Mary did for her.Her anger is well controlled even without a balloon.She is willing to take others’ suggestions into consideration,contributing to her better behavior.Instead of losing her temper all the time,she is now a polite and thoughtful girl with contagious enthusiasm.
