When you are about to go to a boarding school in England, there are many different questions that may come to mind. But once you look at them with some perspective (视角), you will certainly feel easy. Here is a normal boarding day.
Early Morning:
Usually boarders get up around 7:00 a.m. and have around an hour to take a shower and put on their uniform before breakfast.
Lessons:
Classes start at 9:00 a.m. and every lesson lasts for 50 minutes. After two lessons, at 10:40 a.m., you’ll have a short break. The next period of classes will include two more lessons.
Lunch:
Lunch is usually held around 12:30 p.m. at the dining hall, where you’ll join your friends to enjoy a hot dish. After an hour of lunch, you’ll have three or four more lessons to attend.
Dinner:
At 5:00 p.m., you will have finished your school lessons for the day. Most boarding schools in the UK offer their full boarders different kinds of hot meals to choose from.
Activities/Sports:
All boarding schools in the UK provide many different kinds of activities for their boarders, such as football, swimming, golf or art.
Prep:
An important part of boarding school life is the supervised homework session known as “prep”. Although prep might sound stressful, it’s a great way for you to keep up with your studies.

Bedtime:
In most boarding schools, the lights go out around 10:30 p.m.

When I was in primary school, I was actually a little shy. One thing that really frightened me was speaking in front of many people, whether strangers or acquaintances (熟人). It was my sixth-grade teacher, Mr Bamick, who helped me get past that. That year we had to make four oral book reports in front of the class. Some of the kids were even glad to do it, but I was scared to death. Mr Bamick recognized my fear, so he told me to do a report on a book that was about something that really interested me. So I did the first report on baseball.
When it was time for me to present it to the class, Mr Bamick cut me some slack and let me read the report rather than give it from memory. Some of my classmates laughed at me, but Mr Bamick defended (为……辩解) me. By the end of the year I had completed all four of the oral book reports. It wasn’t easy and comfortable for me, but I did it.
Years later I realized that Mr Bamick did me a great favor in the sixth grade. One of the chances I got when I won a tennis tournament (锦标赛) was to make comments to the fans who attended the match. Some of those were carried live on television and all of them were before thousands of people. It was still not one of my favourite things to do, but, with Mr Bamick’s help, I got through it from time to time. Before long, I was asked to bring my favourite childhood teacher to a national event in Dallas. I was excited when Mr Bamick joined me for the event. It meant a lot to me that he was there.
Mr Bamick believed in me and helped me to believe in myself. It was he who helped me build the person I became.
4. How did Mr Bamick help the writer
A. By improving her learning skills.
B. By encouraging her to read more books.

7. In the writer’s mind, what kind of teacher is Mr Bamick
A. Strict. B. Curious.
C. Encouraging. D. Frightening.
C
For decades, the homework standard has been a “10-minute” rule, which suggests a daily maximum of 10 minutes of homework per grade level.
But some schools have begun to give their youngest students a break. A Massachusetts elementary school has announced a no-homework pilot (试点的) program for the coming school year, extending the school day by two hours to provide more in-class instruction. “We really want kids to go home at 4 o’clock, tired,” Kelly Elementary School Principal Jackie Glasheen said. “We want them to enjoy their families. We want them to go to soccer practice or football practice.”
New solutions to homework differ by community. These local debates aren’t easily understood by the fact that even education experts disagree about what’s best for kids.
The most all-round research on homework so far comes from an analysis (分析) by Duke University professor Harris Cooper, who found evidence (证据) of a positive relationship between homework and student achievement, meaning students who did homework performed better in school.
Cooper’s analysis focused on how homework influences test scores. The relationship was stronger for older students — in 7th through 12th grades — than for those in younger grades, for whom there was a weak relationship between homework and performance.
Although there is the weak relationship between homework and performance for young children, Cooper argues that a small amount of homework is useful for all students. “Second-graders should not be doing two hours of homework each night,” he said, “but they also shouldn’t be doing no homework.”
However, Cathy Vatterott, an education professor at the University Missouri-St. Louis, thinks there is not enough evidence that homework is helpful for students in elementary school, “Relationship is not a cause,” she said. “Does homework cause achievement, or do high achievers do more homework ” Vatterott thinks there should be more stress on improving the quality of homework tasks, and she supports efforts to ban homework for younger kids.
8. What will Kelly Elementary School have in the new term
A. No homework.
B. Some football practice.
C. “10-minute” homework.
D. More physical education classes.
9. Who can perform better according to Cooper’s analysis
A. Younger students in all grades with no homework.
B. Younger students in lower grades with no homework.
C. Older students in lower grades with more homework.
D. Older students in higher grades with more homework.
10. What’s the writer’s attitude towards the “10-minute” homework
A. Positive. B. Negative.
C. Unknown. D. Doubtful.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Is Homework Good for Students
B. How Much Homework Is Proper
C. Does High-Quality Homework Work
D. Do Students Really Hate Homework
D
“Creativity is the key to a brighter future,” say education and business experts. Here is how schools and parents can encourage this important skill in children.
If Dick Drew had listened to his boss in 1925, we might not have the product that we now think greatly important: a new type of tape. Drew worked for the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company. At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together. But his boss told him not to think more about the idea. Finally, using his own time, Drew improved the tape, which now is used everywhere by many people. And his former company learned from its mistake. Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their working time just thinking about and developing new ideas.
Creativity is not something one is just born with, nor is it necessarily a character of high intelligence. The fact that a person is highly intelligent does not mean that he uses it creatively. Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something.
Unfortunately, schools have not tried to encourage creativity. With strong attention to test results and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, many educators give up creativity for correct answers. The result is that children can gain information but can’t recognize ways to use it in new situations. They may know the rules correctly but they are unable to use them to work out practical problems.
It is important to give children choices. From the earliest age, children should be allowed to make decisions and understand their results. Even if it’s choosing between two food items for lunch, decision-making helps thinking skills. As children grow older, parents should try to let them decide how to use their time or spend their money. This is because the most important character of creative people is a very strong desire to find a way out of trouble.
12. What did the company where Drew once worked learn from its mistake
A. It should encourage people to work a longer time.
B. People should be discouraged to think freely.
C. People will do better if they pay all attention to their work.
D. It is necessary for people to spend some of their working time developing new ideas.
13. What can we know from the passage about creativity
A. It is something that most people are born with.
B. It is something that has nothing to do with intelligence at all.
C. It is a way of using what one has learned to work out new problems.
D. It is something that is not important to the life in the future at all.
14. Why don’t schools try to encourage creativity
A. They don’t attach importance to creativity education.
B. They don’t want their students to make mistakes.
C. They pay no attention to examination marks.
D. They think it impossible to develop creativity in class.
15. What should parents do when their children decide how to spend their money
A. Allow them to have a try.
B. Try to help them as much as possible.
C. Take no notice of whatever they do.
D. Order them to spend the least money.

How to Make Friends at a New School
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. 1 However, if you use these skills, you can quickly turn some of those strangers into friends.
Be yourself.
2 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 sports may make friends with those who also run or swim a lot.
3
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. 4 Introduce yourself. Tell them your name and where you’re from.
Remember people’s names.
You like it when people call you by your name, and so do other people. 5 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 something.
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!

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。续写的词数应为150左右。
Peter woke up early in the morning. He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible.
“Why are you in such a hurry, early bird ” Mum asked him. “We will have an English spelling test today, Mum,” Peter said. “Mr. White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100 scores. I’ve been studying the word list since last week. Although the words are difficult, I am well prepared for them.”
Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove him to school. At last, it was time for the students to have a test. “Responsibility,” Mr. White started. Peter wrote it on his test paper quickly and confidently.
“The second word: contribution,” Mr. White said.
“So easy,” Peter thought. He quickly wrote the word down.
Thirty words later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. “I am to mark your papers now,” he told the class. After marking the test papers, Mr. White said, “Three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter, David and Mary got full marks on the spelling test!”
Mr. White praised them. Meanwhile, he gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter’s was an English Chinese dictionary — the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he held it high when his classmates cheered. “This is my happiest moment,” Peter thought.
After Mr. White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his spelling. All of a sudden, the word “contribusion” confused him. It didn’t seem right. Peter began to compare them after taking out the word list. “C O N T R I B U S I O N,” he whispered. He spelled it wrong.
“What am I to do ” Peter said to himself. “I expect my classmates to think I’m a master at spelling. If I tell Mr. White one of my spelling words is wrong, I’ll have to give my prize back, or I will become an example for telling a lie.”
Staring at the full marks written on his test paper, Peter was lost in thought. After a while, he remembered a lesson Mum used to teach him, “We ought to be an honest person.”

Slowly, Peter raised his hand. __________________________________________________

A篇
本文是一篇应用文。文章主要向准备留学英国的学生介绍了英国寄宿学校的日常安排。
1. D 细节理解题。根据倒数第四段“An important part of boarding school life is the supervised homework session known as ‘prep’... it’s a great way for you to keep up with your studies.”可知，寄宿学校生活的一个重要组成部分就是被称为“prep”的有监督的家庭作业环节。这是你跟上学习进度的好方法。故选D。
2. D 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“In most boarding schools, the lights go out around 10:30 p.m.”可知，在大多数寄宿制学校，晚上10:30熄灯。“go out（熄灭）”是题干中“turn off”的同义词，所以选项D符合题意。故选D。
3. A 目的意图题。根据文章最后两句“Hopefully, being aware of the usual routine you’ll be following can help you. Once you are there, you will also see how exciting life in a boarding school in England can be.”以及文章中的小标题“Early Morning”“Lessons”“Lunch”“Dinner”等可以判断出，本文的主要目的是向准备留学英国的学生介绍英国寄宿学校的日常安排。故选A。
B篇
本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者小时候不敢在众人面前讲话，在Bamick先生的帮助下，作者克服了恐惧，走向成功。
4. D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Mr Bamick recognized my fear, so he told me to do a report on a book that was about something that really interested me.（Bamick先生意识到了我的恐惧，所以他让我写一篇关于我真正感兴趣的一本书的报告）”以及第三段中的“Some of those were carried live on television and all of them were before thousands of people. It was still not one of my favorite things to do, but, with Mr Bamick’s help, I got through it from time to time.（其中一些在电视上进行了现场直播，而且都是在数千人面前进行的。这仍然不是我最喜欢做的事情之一，但在Bamick先生的帮助下，我时不时地渡过了难关）”可知，Bamick先生帮助作者克服了对公开演讲的恐惧。故选D。
5. C 词义猜测题。画线词句后文“Some of my classmates laughed at me, but Mr Bamick defended me.（我的一些同学嘲笑我，但Bamick先生为我辩护）”说明Bamick先生为作者的不特别优秀的表现辩解。再根据画线词句后半部分“let me read the report rather than give it from memory（让我读报告，而不是凭记忆作报告）”可知，Bamick先生把作报告的任务变得简单了，从而推知画线短语“cut me some slack”应为“使任务对作者来说变得更简单”的意思。故选C。
6. A 细节理解题。根据第三段中“One of the chances I got when I won a tennis tournament was to make comments to the fans who attended the match.（当我赢得网球锦标赛时，我得到的一个机会就是向出席比赛的球迷发表评论）”可知，作者是一名网球运动员。故选A。
7. C 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Mr Bamick recognized my fear, so he told me to do a report on a book that was about something that really interested me.（Bamick先生意识到了我的恐惧，所以他让我写一篇关于我真正感兴趣的一本书的报告）”，第三段中的“It was still not one of my favorite things to do, but, with Mr Bamick’s help, I got through it from time to time.（这仍然不是我最喜欢做的事情之一，但在Bamick先生的帮助下，我时不时地渡过了难关）”以及最后一段中的“Mr Bamick believed in me and helped me to believe in myself.（Bamick先生相信我，并帮助我相信自己）”可以推知，在作者眼中，Bamick先生是个给人鼓励，鼓舞人心的老师。故选C。
C篇
本文是一篇议论文。文章主要围绕学生们是否应该有家庭作业，家庭作业对学生们好不好这些问题进行讨论。
8. A 细节理解题。根据第二段“A Massachusetts elementary school has announced a no-homework pilot program for the coming school year（马萨诸塞州一所小学宣布在下一学年实施无作业试点计划）”可知，Kelly Elementary School在新学期将没有作业。故选A。
9. D 推理判断题。根据第四段“...students who did homework performed better in school（做家庭作业的学生们的学校表现要更好）”以及第五段“Cooper’s analysis focused on how homework influences test scores. The relationship was stronger for older students — in 7th through 12th grade — than for those in younger grades...（Cooper的分析聚焦于家庭作业是如何影响考试成绩的。与低年级学生相比，两者间的关联在年龄大点的学生—7到12年级—中体现得更明显）”可知，作业多的年龄大点的高年级学生学校表现会更好。故选D。
10. C 推理判断题。文章只是在第一段“For decades, the homework standard has been a ‘10-minute’ rule, which suggests a daily maximum of 10 minutes of homework per grade level.（几十年来，家庭作业的标准一直都是“10分钟”原则，意思是每个年级每天最多写10分钟的家庭作业）”和第二段“But some schools have begun to give their youngest students a break.（但是有一些学校已经开始让小年龄的学生们打破这个规则了）”阐述了一下“10分钟”原则，作者并没有对它表明有任何的看法。故选C。
11. A 标题概括题。本文由“10分钟”原则引入学生们的家庭作业问题，接下来告诉读者有一些小学要实施没有家庭作业的试点项目，然后阐述了专家的发现：高年级的学生们家庭作业多的在考试中表现会更好。因此这篇文章就是围绕家庭作业对学生们好还是不好来讨论的。故选A。
D篇
本文是一篇说明文。创造力是拥有一个更光明的未来的关键，它并非人与生俱来的，需要后天的培养。文章主要介绍了学校不鼓励创造力教育的原因和家长如何鼓励孩子掌握这项重要技能。
12. D 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“And his former company learned from its mistake. Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their working time just thinking about and developing new ideas”可知，Drew曾经工作的公司鼓励人们花15%的工作时间去思考和开发新的想法。故选D。
13. C 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“Creativity is not something one is just born with, nor is it necessarily a character of high intelligence”可知，A项表述错误，B项表述过于绝对且文中并未提及；根据第一段中的“Creativity is the key to a brighter future”可知，D项表述错误；根据第三段最后一句可推知C项正确。故选C。
14. A 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“With strong attention to test results and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, many educators give up creativity for correct answers”可知，许多教育工作者并不重视创造力教育。故选A。

五、
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何融入新学校。
1. B 根据下文“However, if you use these skills, you can quickly turn some of those strangers into friends.”可知，上文应该是介绍交朋友不容易的相关内容。由此可推断出，B项“Making new friends can be hard, too.（交新朋友也可能是困难的）”符合语境。再把B项代入原文，B项正好顺承上文“Starting with a new school can be difficult.”。B项中的“hard”和上文中的“difficult”正好照应。故选B。
2. D 根据本段标题“Be yourself.”可知，本段都在围绕“做你自己”这个主题展开说明。D项“Never change who you are to try and fit in.（永远不要为了试图融入别人而改变自己）”符合语境。故选D。
3. A 通读第三段可知，本段主要说明要与人为善。A项“Be friendly to others.（对别人友好）”最能概括本段主题。故选A。
4. E 根据本段标题“Believe in yourself.”可知，本段主要说明在与人接触的过程中，要自信。第一句“A smile goes a long way.”首先强调了微笑的重要性。接下来，本段介绍了保持自信具体应该怎么做。比如，当你走进大厅的时候时，眼睛不要盯着地板。要抬头、保持目光接触。E项“If you see someone you know, smile or say something.（如果你看到认识的人，要保持微笑或者说点什么）”也是保持自信的做法之一，符合语境。故选E。
5. F 由本段标题“Remember people’s names.”可知，本段主要说明的是：要记住别人的名字。由此可推断出，称呼别人的时候，只是喊一声“嘿”而不叫出对方的名字很不礼貌。因此F项“People may become angry if you just begin by saying “Hey” each time.”符合语境。故选F。

Paragraph 1：
Slowly, Peter raised his hand. “Mr. White, I didn’t get full marks on the test. I made a mistake.” He stood up and handed his teacher the dictionary he liked best and his test paper, “I spelled contribution with ‘s i’ instead of ‘t i’.” Peter could feel his classmates looking at him with surprise as he walked back to his desk. Mr. White held up Peter’s test paper. “Class,” he said, “Peter did something even more important than spelling every word correctly on a test.” Mr. White smiled at Peter, “He taught us all a lesson on being honest.”
Paragraph 2：
Peter looked around. He found many of his classmates were smiling at him. “Peter, I want you to have this dictionary because you set a good example for all of us,” Mr. White said. Peter took the dictionary from his teacher and expressed his thanks to Mr. White. Meanwhile, he couldn’t wait to show it to Mum and tell her one of his best days ever.

When you are about to go to a boarding school in England, there are many different questions that may come to mind. But once you look at them with some perspective (视角), you will certainly feel easy. Here is a normal boarding day.
Early Morning:
Usually boarders get up around 7:00 a.m. and have around an hour to take a shower and put on their uniform before breakfast.

When I was in primary school, I was actually a little shy. One thing that really frightened me was speaking in front of many people, whether strangers or acquaintances (熟人). It was my sixth-grade teacher, Mr Bamick, who helped me get past that. That year we had to make four oral book reports in front of the class. Some of the kids were even glad to do it, but I was scared to death. Mr Bamick recognized my fear, so he told me to do a report on a book that was about something that really interested me. So I did the first report on baseball.
When it was time for me to present it to the class, Mr Bamick cut me some slack and let me read the report rather than give it from memory. Some of my classmates laughed at me, but Mr Bamick defended (为……辩解) me. By the end of the year I had completed all four of the oral book reports. It wasn’t easy and comfortable for me, but I did it.
Years later I realized that Mr Bamick did me a great favor in the sixth grade. One of the chances I got when I won a tennis tournament (锦标赛) was to make comments to the fans who attended the match. Some of those were carried live on television and all of them were before thousands of people. It was still not one of my favourite things to do, but, with Mr Bamick’s help, I got through it from time to time. Before long, I was asked to bring my favourite childhood teacher to a national event in Dallas. I was excited when Mr Bamick joined me for the event. It meant a lot to me that he was there.
Mr Bamick believed in me and helped me to believe in myself. It was he who helped me build the person I became.

A. Strict. B. Curious.
C. Encouraging. D. Frightening.
C
For decades, the homework standard has been a “10-minute” rule, which suggests a daily maximum of 10 minutes of homework per grade level.
But some schools have begun to give their youngest students a break. A Massachusetts elementary school has announced a no-homework pilot (试点的) program for the coming school year, extending the school day by two hours to provide more in-class instruction. “We really want kids to go home at 4 o’clock, tired,” Kelly Elementary School Principal Jackie Glasheen said. “We want them to enjoy their families. We want them to go to soccer practice or football practice.”
New solutions to homework differ by community. These local debates aren’t easily understood by the fact that even education experts disagree about what’s best for kids.
The most all-round research on homework so far comes from an analysis (分析) by Duke University professor Harris Cooper, who found evidence (证据) of a positive relationship between homework and student achievement, meaning students who did homework performed better in school.
Cooper’s analysis focused on how homework influences test scores. The relationship was stronger for older students — in 7th through 12th grades — than for those in younger grades, for whom there was a weak relationship between homework and performance.
Although there is the weak relationship between homework and performance for young children, Cooper argues that a small amount of homework is useful for all students. “Second-graders should not be doing two hours of homework each night,” he said, “but they also shouldn’t be doing no homework.”
However, Cathy Vatterott, an education professor at the University Missouri-St. Louis, thinks there is not enough evidence that homework is helpful for students in elementary school, “Relationship is not a cause,” she said. “Does homework cause achievement, or do high achievers do more homework ” Vatterott thinks there should be more stress on improving the quality of homework tasks, and she supports efforts to ban homework for younger kids.
8. What will Kelly Elementary School have in the new term
A. No homework.
B. Some football practice.
C. “10-minute” homework.
D. More physical education classes.
9. Who can perform better according to Cooper’s analysis
A. Younger students in all grades with no homework.
B. Younger students in lower grades with no homework.
C. Older students in lower grades with more homework.
D. Older students in higher grades with more homework.
10. What’s the writer’s attitude towards the “10-minute” homework
A. Positive. B. Negative.
C. Unknown. D. Doubtful.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Is Homework Good for Students
B. How Much Homework Is Proper
C. Does High-Quality Homework Work
D. Do Students Really Hate Homework
D
“Creativity is the key to a brighter future,” say education and business experts. Here is how schools and parents can encourage this important skill in children.
If Dick Drew had listened to his boss in 1925, we might not have the product that we now think greatly important: a new type of tape. Drew worked for the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company. At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together. But his boss told him not to think more about the idea. Finally, using his own time, Drew improved the tape, which now is used everywhere by many people. And his former company learned from its mistake. Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their working time just thinking about and developing new ideas.
Creativity is not something one is just born with, nor is it necessarily a character of high intelligence. The fact that a person is highly intelligent does not mean that he uses it creatively. Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something.
Unfortunately, schools have not tried to encourage creativity. With strong attention to test results and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, many educators give up creativity for correct answers. The result is that children can gain information but can’t recognize ways to use it in new situations. They may know the rules correctly but they are unable to use them to work out practical problems.
It is important to give children choices. From the earliest age, children should be allowed to make decisions and understand their results. Even if it’s choosing between two food items for lunch, decision-making helps thinking skills. As children grow older, parents should try to let them decide how to use their time or spend their money. This is because the most important character of creative people is a very strong desire to find a way out of trouble.
12. What did the company where Drew once worked learn from its mistake
A. It should encourage people to work a longer time.
B. People should be discouraged to think freely.
C. People will do better if they pay all attention to their work.
D. It is necessary for people to spend some of their working time developing new ideas.
13. What can we know from the passage about creativity
A. It is something that most people are born with.
B. It is something that has nothing to do with intelligence at all.
C. It is a way of using what one has learned to work out new problems.
D. It is something that is not important to the life in the future at all.
14. Why don’t schools try to encourage creativity
A. They don’t attach importance to creativity education.
B. They don’t want their students to make mistakes.
C. They pay no attention to examination marks.
D. They think it impossible to develop creativity in class.
15. What should parents do when their children decide how to spend their money
A. Allow them to have a try.
B. Try to help them as much as possible.
C. Take no notice of whatever they do.
D. Order them to spend the least money.

How to Make Friends at a New School
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. 1 However, if you use these skills, you can quickly turn some of those strangers into friends.
Be yourself.
2 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 sports may make friends with those who also run or swim a lot.
3
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. 4 Introduce yourself. Tell them your name and where you’re from.
Remember people’s names.
You like it when people call you by your name, and so do other people. 5 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 something.
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!

Peter woke up early in the morning. He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible.
“Why are you in such a hurry, early bird ” Mum asked him. “We will have an English spelling test today, Mum,” Peter said. “Mr. White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100 scores. I’ve been studying the word list since last week. Although the words are difficult, I am well prepared for them.”
Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove him to school. At last, it was time for the students to have a test. “Responsibility,” Mr. White started. Peter wrote it on his test paper quickly and confidently.
“The second word: contribution,” Mr. White said.
“So easy,” Peter thought. He quickly wrote the word down.
Thirty words later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. “I am to mark your papers now,” he told the class. After marking the test papers, Mr. White said, “Three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter, David and Mary got full marks on the spelling test!”
Mr. White praised them. Meanwhile, he gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter’s was an English Chinese dictionary — the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he held it high when his classmates cheered. “This is my happiest moment,” Peter thought.
After Mr. White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his spelling. All of a sudden, the word “contribusion” confused him. It didn’t seem right. Peter began to compare them after taking out the word list. “C O N T R I B U S I O N,” he whispered. He spelled it wrong.
“What am I to do ” Peter said to himself. “I expect my classmates to think I’m a master at spelling. If I tell Mr. White one of my spelling words is wrong, I’ll have to give my prize back, or I will become an example for telling a lie.”
Staring at the full marks written on his test paper, Peter was lost in thought. After a while, he remembered a lesson Mum used to teach him, “We ought to be an honest person.”

A篇
本文是一篇应用文。文章主要向准备留学英国的学生介绍了英国寄宿学校的日常安排。
1. D 细节理解题。根据倒数第四段“An important part of boarding school life is the supervised homework session known as ‘prep’... it’s a great way for you to keep up with your studies.”可知，寄宿学校生活的一个重要组成部分就是被称为“prep”的有监督的家庭作业环节。这是你跟上学习进度的好方法。故选D。
2. D 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“In most boarding schools, the lights go out around 10:30 p.m.”可知，在大多数寄宿制学校，晚上10:30熄灯。“go out（熄灭）”是题干中“turn off”的同义词，所以选项D符合题意。故选D。
3. A 目的意图题。根据文章最后两句“Hopefully, being aware of the usual routine you’ll be following can help you. Once you are there, you will also see how exciting life in a boarding school in England can be.”以及文章中的小标题“Early Morning”“Lessons”“Lunch”“Dinner”等可以判断出，本文的主要目的是向准备留学英国的学生介绍英国寄宿学校的日常安排。故选A。
B篇
本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者小时候不敢在众人面前讲话，在Bamick先生的帮助下，作者克服了恐惧，走向成功。
4. D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Mr Bamick recognized my fear, so he told me to do a report on a book that was about something that really interested me.（Bamick先生意识到了我的恐惧，所以他让我写一篇关于我真正感兴趣的一本书的报告）”以及第三段中的“Some of those were carried live on television and all of them were before thousands of people. It was still not one of my favorite things to do, but, with Mr Bamick’s help, I got through it from time to time.（其中一些在电视上进行了现场直播，而且都是在数千人面前进行的。这仍然不是我最喜欢做的事情之一，但在Bamick先生的帮助下，我时不时地渡过了难关）”可知，Bamick先生帮助作者克服了对公开演讲的恐惧。故选D。
5. C 词义猜测题。画线词句后文“Some of my classmates laughed at me, but Mr Bamick defended me.（我的一些同学嘲笑我，但Bamick先生为我辩护）”说明Bamick先生为作者的不特别优秀的表现辩解。再根据画线词句后半部分“let me read the report rather than give it from memory（让我读报告，而不是凭记忆作报告）”可知，Bamick先生把作报告的任务变得简单了，从而推知画线短语“cut me some slack”应为“使任务对作者来说变得更简单”的意思。故选C。
6. A 细节理解题。根据第三段中“One of the chances I got when I won a tennis tournament was to make comments to the fans who attended the match.（当我赢得网球锦标赛时，我得到的一个机会就是向出席比赛的球迷发表评论）”可知，作者是一名网球运动员。故选A。
7. C 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Mr Bamick recognized my fear, so he told me to do a report on a book that was about something that really interested me.（Bamick先生意识到了我的恐惧，所以他让我写一篇关于我真正感兴趣的一本书的报告）”，第三段中的“It was still not one of my favorite things to do, but, with Mr Bamick’s help, I got through it from time to time.（这仍然不是我最喜欢做的事情之一，但在Bamick先生的帮助下，我时不时地渡过了难关）”以及最后一段中的“Mr Bamick believed in me and helped me to believe in myself.（Bamick先生相信我，并帮助我相信自己）”可以推知，在作者眼中，Bamick先生是个给人鼓励，鼓舞人心的老师。故选C。
C篇
本文是一篇议论文。文章主要围绕学生们是否应该有家庭作业，家庭作业对学生们好不好这些问题进行讨论。
8. A 细节理解题。根据第二段“A Massachusetts elementary school has announced a no-homework pilot program for the coming school year（马萨诸塞州一所小学宣布在下一学年实施无作业试点计划）”可知，Kelly Elementary School在新学期将没有作业。故选A。
9. D 推理判断题。根据第四段“...students who did homework performed better in school（做家庭作业的学生们的学校表现要更好）”以及第五段“Cooper’s analysis focused on how homework influences test scores. The relationship was stronger for older students — in 7th through 12th grade — than for those in younger grades...（Cooper的分析聚焦于家庭作业是如何影响考试成绩的。与低年级学生相比，两者间的关联在年龄大点的学生—7到12年级—中体现得更明显）”可知，作业多的年龄大点的高年级学生学校表现会更好。故选D。
10. C 推理判断题。文章只是在第一段“For decades, the homework standard has been a ‘10-minute’ rule, which suggests a daily maximum of 10 minutes of homework per grade level.（几十年来，家庭作业的标准一直都是“10分钟”原则，意思是每个年级每天最多写10分钟的家庭作业）”和第二段“But some schools have begun to give their youngest students a break.（但是有一些学校已经开始让小年龄的学生们打破这个规则了）”阐述了一下“10分钟”原则，作者并没有对它表明有任何的看法。故选C。
11. A 标题概括题。本文由“10分钟”原则引入学生们的家庭作业问题，接下来告诉读者有一些小学要实施没有家庭作业的试点项目，然后阐述了专家的发现：高年级的学生们家庭作业多的在考试中表现会更好。因此这篇文章就是围绕家庭作业对学生们好还是不好来讨论的。故选A。
D篇
本文是一篇说明文。创造力是拥有一个更光明的未来的关键，它并非人与生俱来的，需要后天的培养。文章主要介绍了学校不鼓励创造力教育的原因和家长如何鼓励孩子掌握这项重要技能。
12. D 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“And his former company learned from its mistake. Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their working time just thinking about and developing new ideas”可知，Drew曾经工作的公司鼓励人们花15%的工作时间去思考和开发新的想法。故选D。
13. C 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“Creativity is not something one is just born with, nor is it necessarily a character of high intelligence”可知，A项表述错误，B项表述过于绝对且文中并未提及；根据第一段中的“Creativity is the key to a brighter future”可知，D项表述错误；根据第三段最后一句可推知C项正确。故选C。

五、
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何融入新学校。
1. B 根据下文“However, if you use these skills, you can quickly turn some of those strangers into friends.”可知，上文应该是介绍交朋友不容易的相关内容。由此可推断出，B项“Making new friends can be hard, too.（交新朋友也可能是困难的）”符合语境。再把B项代入原文，B项正好顺承上文“Starting with a new school can be difficult.”。B项中的“hard”和上文中的“difficult”正好照应。故选B。
2. D 根据本段标题“Be yourself.”可知，本段都在围绕“做你自己”这个主题展开说明。D项“Never change who you are to try and fit in.（永远不要为了试图融入别人而改变自己）”符合语境。故选D。
3. A 通读第三段可知，本段主要说明要与人为善。A项“Be friendly to others.（对别人友好）”最能概括本段主题。故选A。
4. E 根据本段标题“Believe in yourself.”可知，本段主要说明在与人接触的过程中，要自信。第一句“A smile goes a long way.”首先强调了微笑的重要性。接下来，本段介绍了保持自信具体应该怎么做。比如，当你走进大厅的时候时，眼睛不要盯着地板。要抬头、保持目光接触。E项“If you see someone you know, smile or say something.（如果你看到认识的人，要保持微笑或者说点什么）”也是保持自信的做法之一，符合语境。故选E。
5. F 由本段标题“Remember people’s names.”可知，本段主要说明的是：要记住别人的名字。由此可推断出，称呼别人的时候，只是喊一声“嘿”而不叫出对方的名字很不礼貌。因此F项“People may become angry if you just begin by saying “Hey” each time.”符合语境。故选F。

第一节 应用文写作
Hello, everyone,
I’m honored to stand here to tell you something about my school life in the past two weeks. Our school is very beautiful. There’s advanced equipment in the classroom and it helps our teachers make their classes lively and interesting. My classmates are so excellent and diligent that I have to work extremely hard to keep up with them. Fortunately, my teachers and classmates are all friendly and enthusiastic. I have already made several new friends here.
However, the food in the cafeteria is very poor and I hope it can get improved. Besides, we have much homework every day. How I wish we could have more time for physical exercise!
第二节 读后续写
Paragraph 1：
Slowly, Peter raised his hand. “Mr. White, I didn’t get full marks on the test. I made a mistake.” He stood up and handed his teacher the dictionary he liked best and his test paper, “I spelled contribution with ‘s i’ instead of ‘t i’.” Peter could feel his classmates looking at him with surprise as he walked back to his desk. Mr. White held up Peter’s test paper. “Class,” he said, “Peter did something even more important than spelling every word correctly on a test.” Mr. White smiled at Peter, “He taught us all a lesson on being honest.”
Paragraph 2：
Peter looked around. He found many of his classmates were smiling at him. “Peter, I want you to have this dictionary because you set a good example for all of us,” Mr. White said. Peter took the dictionary from his teacher and expressed his thanks to Mr. White. Meanwhile, he couldn’t wait to show it to Mum and tell her one of his best days ever.
