A
Hi, I’m Amanda! I was asked to share more about my experience as an online student of Virtual High School to give you a better idea of what it’s like, or at least what it was like for me. Usually I was working on four courses at a time, just as if I were in a brick-and-mortar high school. But unlike students in a brick-and-mortar school, I did not work for a set amount of time each day. Sometimes I would spend the whole day on English, and on another I would study among all four, depending on how focused I was or what I felt motivated to do. I loved skating during my high school years, both as a competitor and a coach. Below is an example of what a typical day was like for me.
6:00 am—8:00 am: Skating
9:00 am—10:30 am: Reading the content of English
10:30 am—10:45 am: A break (usually a walk outside with friends)
10:45 am—12:00 pm: Beginning to brainstorm and doing primary research for English assignments
12:00 pm—12:30 pm: Lunch
12:30 pm—3:30 pm: Reading the content of maths, doing exercises, starting a maths assignment
4:00 pm—7:00 pm: Skating and coaching skating
A common question I would get is, “Do you spend a lot of time in front of the computer to do the courses ” The answer is “yes”. It is an online school, after all. That does not mean that you are tied to a desk, however. Like students in brick-and-mortar schools, I took notes by hand so that I wasn’t always typing or looking at the screen. I often went to the library to find books for my research and English courses.
1.How many courses did Amanda have
A.Two. B.Three. C.Four. D.Five.
2.When did Amanda study maths according to the example of a typical day
A.Between 10:45 am and 12:00 pm.
B.Between 12:30 pm and 3:30 pm.
C.Between 12:00 pm and 2:30 pm.
D.Between 3:30 pm and 7:00 pm.
3.What did Amanda always do as an online student

B.She wrote online English books.

Since the age of three, Chelsie Hill had dreamed of becoming a dancer. That dream nearly ended one night in 2010. Hill was in a car accident that put her in hospital for 51 days and left her paralyzed (瘫痪的). For most people, that would have destroyed any hope of a dancing career. For Hill, it was the beginning. Far from being a barrier, her wheelchair encouraged her to think a lot of her life and she wanted to overcome the difficulty and prove that she was still “normal”.
“Normal” for her meant dancing. With half of her body taken away, Hill had to move with hands. It took a lot of learning and patience, but she still made it in her wheelchair with her non-disabled high school dance team.
After graduation from high school in California, Hill wanted to expand her dance network to include women like her. She met online the women who had suffered various back injuries but shared the same determination with her.
Hoping to reach more people in a larger city and break down the false belief of wheelchair users, Hill moved to Los Angeles in 2014, formed a team of dancers with disabilities and named it the Rollettes. As she always believes, dancing on wheels can be just as good as the foot-based dance.
In disabled dance competitions, all dancers from her team gave great performances and they were having fun. And the audience’s cheers, whistles and applause suggested that the fun was spreading.
Hill has achieved what many of us will never achieve: the childhood dream. But the Rollettes has helped her find something else just as satisfying. Every year she holds a dance camp, the Rollettes Experience for wheelchair users of all ages, to help them find their inner heroines (女英雄). In 2019, over 173 women from ten countries attended the Rollettes Experience. For most of these women, it was the first time they had felt they belong. Edna Serrano told a reporter that being part of the Rollettes team challenged her to be more independent. “It even gives me the courage to take up driving,” she said.
4.After the car accident, Hill 　　　.
A.left the school dance team
B.went back to her normal life
C.had a deep thought of her life
D.dreamed of becoming a dancer
5.Why does Hill hold the Rollettes Experience every year
A.To realize her childhood dream.
B.To encourage the disabled to drive.
C.To become the heroine of wheelchair dancers.
D.To build confidence of more wheelchair users.
6.Which words best describe Hill
A.Smart and skillful. B.Honest and patient.
C.Brave and humorous. D.Caring and determined.
7.What is the best title for the text
A.Dancing in Wheelchairs
B.An Amazing Experience
C.Dancing for the Disabled
D.The History of the Rollettes

In most towns today, you can see teenagers standing over electronic machines with flashing lights, shooting at spaceships from other planets and dropping bombs on strange monsters(怪兽).The machines have names like Space Warrior, Dark Invader and so on. It used to be believed that damage was done only to those strange visitors from outer space, but now it seems that they are striking back.
Many teenagers like electronic games so much that they can’t stop playing. They spend hours tightly holding the joystick controls and constantly pressing buttons marked “fire”. They develop pains in their fingers because of the constant press. They play and play so that the pains have no chance to cure properly. The rapid wrist movement required to guide the spaceship across the screen causes another problem: the muscles of the wrist and arm become so inflamed and swollen(肿胀的) that they press against the bones. This condition is what doctors now call “Space Warrior’s Wrist”.
Other strange aches and pains are also likely to affect the elbows and shoulders. Another even more alarming problem is shown by the case of a 17-year-old girl which was recently in the British Medical Journal. She had been playing various kinds of electronic games for more than two hours a day. Her father repaired games and machines and she could use the cassettes and systems in his workshop as often as she liked. One day, after playing a game called Dark Invader, she lost consciousness and fell to the floor.
Doctors who examined her found she was suffering from an unusual illness caused by lights flashing at a particular frequency.
8.Who are the ones that electronic games are found very popular with
A.People living in towns.
B.Students studying in high school.
C.Girls working in their father’s workshops.
D.Young people.
9.How is “Space Warrior’s Wrist” caused
A.By constantly pressing the buttons.
B.By rapidly moving across the screen.
C.By tightly holding the joystick controls.
D.By inflamed and swollen muscles of the wrist.
10.What does the case of a 17-year-old girl show
A.The writer supports playing electronic games.
B.The writer feels very sorry for the girl.
C.The writer disagrees with young people’s playing electronic games.
D.The writer feels worried about young people’s poor health.
11.How is playing electronic games according to the passage

C.Interesting and harmless to the eyes.
D.Amusing and satisfying.

If you’ve been joining in chat room conversation, or exchanging e-mails with your e-pals, you have become one of the millions who write in a special short form of English. And you’ve got a sense of humor about short forms like SOHF(=sense of humor failure) to describe Internet newcomers who don’t understand you.
Across the globe, every night teenagers and their elders are “talking” online—many of them all talking at the same time. It’s fast:try talking to six people at once. It’s brief:three or four words per exchange. It takes wit (风趣) and quick fingers.
And it requires tremendous linguistic economy(语言省略). There’s neither time nor space for explanations. Why consume precious keystrokes telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB (=be right back) will do
Want to enter a conversation Just type PMFJI(=pardon me for jumping in). Interested in whom you’re talking to A/S/L, the nearly universal request to know your pal’s age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/NY as a response from your pal.
If something makes you laugh, say you’re OTF(=on the floor), or LOL(=laughing out loud), or combine the two into ROTFL(=rolling on the floor laughing).
And when it’s time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG(=got to go) or TTYL (=talk to you later).
People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing strong feelings, as it takes more time to press the “Shift” key and use capitals. Punctuation(标点符号) is going, too.
12.How do many people talk on the Internet
A.By sending short e-mails.
B.By using a peculiar short form of English.
C.By using peculiar English words and expressions.
D.In a funny way.
13.In order to talk to several people at the same time on the Internet, what should you do
A.You have to speak fast and fluently.
B.You should speak with wit and humor.
C.You should pay much attention to the use of exact words.
D.You have to express your ideas in a brief way.
14.If you get 17/F/NY as an answer to your A/S/L, what does it mean
A.You are talking to a girl who is 17 and lives in New York.
B.The person who is talking to you is a 17-foot-tall girl from New York.
C.You are talking to 17 girls who are from New York.
D.The person on the other end is 17 from New York and he is fine.
15.To save time on the Internet, what do people do
A.Some people leave their letters in the dustbin.
B.Some people never use “Shift” in their writing.
C.People seldom use capital letters and punctuation.
D.Many people only use capitals or punctuation.

Use Phones Respectfully
You probably spend more time on your smartphone than any other possessions. You take it everywhere—to school, to meals, and even to the bathroom. 　16　 But we have to learn to use our phones respectfully or at least without offending others around us. Here are some tips for smartphone usage. Take a look.
Use “do not disturb” instead of “vibrate(振动)”.
Loud vibrations in your trousers are disturbing. People can hear your phone vibrate or not, depending on how violently it vibrates. 　17　
Tell others what you’re doing.
Sometimes, you will be in a situation where you need to use your smartphone. 　18　If you don’t, people will think that you’re either interacting with someone else or just getting bored.
　19　
Respect others’ privacy such as text messages and e-mail senders by not letting what they type appear on the home screen of your phone when you receive a new message. While you’re at it, use a password to make sure the information stays between you.
Ask permission to slide(滑动).
When people hand you their phone to look at a photo, this doesn’t mean you can look through all of their photo albums. 　20　
A.They probably want you to see the one photo they hand to you, not every photo they have taken.
B.Just tell people what you’re doing and why you’re doing it.
C.It is difficult to ignore it and it distracts people from what they are doing.
D.Don’t use the feature of SMS Preview on your home screen.
E.You should use your smartphone secretly.
F.Of course, using the smartphone is a great way to keep in touch and share life events.
G.So it’s thrilling to look through all their photos.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The Meredith family lived in a small community. As the economy was in decline, some people in the town had lost their jobs. Many of their families were struggling to make ends meet. People were trying to help each other meet the challenges.
Mrs. Meredith was a most kind and thoughtful woman. She spent a great deal of time visiting the poor. She knew they had problems, and they needed all kinds of help. When she had time, she would bring food and medicine to them.
One morning she told her children about a family she had visited the day before. There was a man sick in bed, his wife, who took care of him and could not go out to work, and their little boy. The little boy—his name was Bernard—had interested her very much.
“I wish you could see him,” she said to her own children, John, Harry, and Clara. “He is such a help to his mother. He wants very much to earn some money, but I don’t see what he can do.”
After their mother left the room, the children sat thinking about Bernard. “I wish we could help him to earn money,” said Clara. “His family is suffering so much.”
“So do I,” said Harry. “We really should do something to assist them.”
For some moments, John said nothing, but, suddenly, he sprang to his feet and cried, “I have a great idea! I have a solution that we can all help accomplish(完成).”
The other children also jumped up all attention. When John had an idea, it was sure to be a good one. “I tell you what we can do,” said John. “You know that big box of corn Uncle John sent us Well, we can make popcorn(爆米花), and put it into paper bags, and Bernard can take it around to the houses and sell it.”

3.A　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Like students in brick-and-mortar schools, I took notes by hand so that I wasn’t always typing or looking at the screen.”可知,作为一名上网课的学生,阿曼达总是手写笔记。故选A。
B
4.C　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“her wheelchair encouraged her to think a lot of her life”可知,车祸发生后,Hill对她的人生进行了深刻的思考。故答案为C。
5.D　推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“Every year she holds a dance camp, the Rollettes Experience for wheelchair users of all ages, to help them find their inner heroines (女英雄).”可推知,Hill建立Rollettes Experience的目的是帮助像她一样的残疾人发现自己内在坚强的一面,进而变得更加自信。故选D。
6.D　推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“She met online the women who...determination with her.”可知,她在网络上遇到了很多遭受各种背伤却和她有相同决心的女性;又根据文章第四段中的“Hoping to reach more people in a larger city...and named it the Rollettes.”可知,Hill希望到大城市接触更多的人,打破轮椅使用者的错误观念,她在2014年到达洛杉矶,成立了一个残疾人舞蹈队,并命名为Rollettes。由此可知Hill是一个有决心和关心他人的人。故选D。
7.A　主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容,尤其是第四段的“As she always believes, dancing on wheels can be just as good as the foot-based dance.”可知本文主要讲述身残志坚的Chelsie Hill成立了一个组织,带领很多和她一样有残疾的女性通过在轮椅上跳舞来获得自信和快乐。A项“Dancing in Wheelchairs(在轮椅上跳舞)”可以作为本文标题。B项“一次惊人的体验”太过片面;C项“为残疾人跳舞”属于曲解文意;D项“Rollettes的历史”太过片面。
C
8.D　细节理解题。根据文章第一段第一句可知,电子游戏受青少年的欢迎,teenagers与young people同义,而不是专指学生、女孩等。故选D。

15.C　细节理解题。根据文章最后一段最后两句可知,按下“Shift”键输入大写字母太浪费时间,因此人们常常不使用大写字母,标点符号也省掉了。故选C。
第二节
16.F　上文提到人们在手机上花的时间比任何别的物品都多,去哪里都带着手机,F项肯定了使用手机的好处,与下文“但是我们必须学会有礼貌地使用手机或者至少不冒犯我们周围的人”形成转折关系,故选F。
17.C　本段的建议是使用“免打扰”而不是“振动”,根据“Loud vibrations in your trousers are disturbing.”可知,裤子里手机的大声振动令人不安,由此可知提出此建议的原因是“人们很难忽略手机振动,振动分散人们的注意力”。故选C。
18.B　根据本段的小标题“Tell others what you’re doing.”可知,此处表示告诉别人你在做什么,为什么要这样做。故选B。
19.D　本段主要介绍要尊重他人的隐私,当你收到一条新的信息时,不要让内容出现在你的手机主屏幕上。由此推知本段的建议是不要在主屏幕上使用短信预览功能。故选D。
20.A　上文提到当有人让你看他们手机中的照片时,并不意味着你可以浏览所有的相册,选项A“他们可能想让你看他们给你看的这一张照片,而不是他们拍的每一张照片”是对上文的进一步说明。故选A。

第二节
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
When Mrs. Meredith heard of John’s idea, she thought it was a good one, too. So, they went to the local supermarket together. They bought some special bags for popcorn. When they got home, they made a lot of popcorn and put it in the special bags. With the popcorn, they went to Bernard’s home. They told Bernard how to sell the popcorn. Bernard and his parents were very grateful. And the Meredith family also felt very happy to help this family.
Paragraph 2:
With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business. He took the popcorn around to the houses and sold all his popcorn. He earned a lot of money. Then, he wanted to be self-dependent. Therefore, he asked Mrs. Meredith to teach him how to make popcorn. After that, not only did he sell popcorn, but he also added cream and salt to the popcorn to make it taste better. Bernard grew up to be a remarkable man. He did not forget the help of the Meredith family, and he also did what he could to help those in need.
