Whenever summer is around the corner，you may already be dreaming about how you’ll spend your break.Chances are that staying in school is not your top pick.But for 13-year-old Simone Jones of Philadelphia—and more than 2 million other students in the U．S.—going to school in the summer is the only choice.That’s because Simone goes to a year-round school.
In fact，year-round schools have almost the same number of vacation days as traditional-calendar schools.In a year-round school，summer break is usually shortened to about four weeks；the remaining vacation time gets spread out over the rest of the year.Simone，for example，gets a few weeks off in the fall，winter，and spring.
That extra time off during the school year can be a good thing.“Everyone thinks a year-round school is hard，” says Simone.“But the little breaks take a lot of pressure(压力) off us.”
Reorganizing the year can prevent summer learning loss—that is，forgetting what you’ve learned from the prior(之前的) school year.However，there is a downside.In fact，some schools have tried year-round schedules(时间表) only to turn back when it was difficult to carry out.Try setting up a soccer game with another school when you’re on a break every few weeks.Planning family trips can be difficult too，especially if siblings(兄弟姐妹) are on different school schedules.
What does summer vacation mean in our culture It’s an American tradition，a time to create lasting memories.But is tradition a good enough reason to keep it around Summer break began 120 years ago，when it was very hot in the summer，so schools started closing.Today，we have air conditioning.And most parents work.For many kids，summer days are spent mostly indoors，playing video games and watching TV.Clearly the world has changed.Is it time for summer break to change，too

A．Many students prefer to go to a year-round school.
B．There is no summer holiday in a year-round school.

C．What subjects students may choose.
D．When students go to school every day.
3.What does the underlined word “downside” in paragraph 4 refer to

A
This year over twenty-three hundred teenagers from all over the world will spend about ten months in the US homes.They will attend the US schools，meet the US teenagers，and form impressions of the real America.At the same time，about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.
Here is a two-way student exchange in action.Fred，nineteen，spent last year in Germany with George’s family.In turn，George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.
Fred，a lively young man，knew little German when he arrived，but after two months’ study the language began to come to him.School was completely different from what he had expected—much harder.Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room.They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that were usual in the United States.There were almost no outside activities.
Family life，too，was different.The father’s word was law，and all activities were around the family rather than the individual.Fred found the food too simple at first.Also，he missed having a car.“Back home，you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time.In Germany，you walk，but you soon learn to like it.”
At the same time，in America，Mike，a friendly German boy，was also forming his idea.“I suppose I don’t think much of American schools，” he said.“It is far too easy by our level.In Germany we do nothing but study.Here we take part in many outside activities.I think that maybe your schools are better in training for activities.There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”
1．What’s the purpose of the whole exchange program

Mathematics always looks like a big challenge for teenagers.When I first entered the senior high school，Mr Iyer，a strict maths teacher，was our class teacher.He always stuck to his discipline(行为准则)．We had to arrive on time，pay undivided attention to his lectures，and finish all of his homework.
Even so，as our class teacher，we got to know him better.Noticing some of us couldn’t sit still and seemed restless one day as the mid-term exams approached，he stopped solving a mathematical problem to ask us why.“There’s too much to do，” we sighed.“We’re afraid we’ll never manage to finish our revision before the exam.” “Nothing is impossible，” Mr Iyer told us.“This classroom is on the second floor.Do you have a problem reaching here？” We reacted with blank stares.
“No，you don’t！” he said，answering his own question.“You have a staircase(楼梯) to help you climb up to this level.No one expects you to make it in two giant jumps.You simply take one step at a time.Any task can be solved if you concentrate on the immediate action to be taken.The rest will take care of itself if you keep at it.One step at a time.That’s the secret.” Then he wrote down an old motto on the blackboard—a thousand-mile journey begins with the first step.Having heard his staircase analogy(比拟)，we understood why he asked us the question and we saw him in a new light.
Most of my classmates scored high in maths.And I went on to become an English teacher.To this day，whenever I pass on Mr Iyer’s invaluable advice to my own students，they are all happy with a lighter learning burden.
5．What is the main idea of the first paragraph
A．The way Mr Iyer taught his students maths.
B．The reason why maths was hard for the author.
C．The students’ points of view on Mr Iyer’s character.
D．The brief introduction of the author’s maths teacher，Mr Iyer.
6．Why did Mr Iyer stop solving a mathematical problem in class
A．Some students seemed impatient and upset.
B．The mathematical problem was rather puzzling.
C．Some students made trouble and affected the class.
D．Mr Iyer was a little tired and wanted to have a rest.
7．What is the secret of reaching one’s goal according to Mr Iyer
A．It is important to make use of a good opportunity.
B．There is only one step between success and failure.
C．Take action quickly and make progress little by little.
D．Don’t hesitate to ask for help when meeting with barriers.
8．How does the author like Mr Iyer’s advice
A．Strange and impractical.
B．Incorrect and misleading.
C．Simple and uninteresting.
D．Meaningful and valuable.
C
Dealing with stress(压力) is a top topic of concern to young people.Stress has harmful influence on their study and health.According to an OECD survey，nearly half (47%) of Australian students feel very anxious when they study，compared to the international number of 37%.67% of Australian students say they feel very nervous even if they’re well-prepared for a test.And the international number of that is 56% (64% for girls and 47% for boys)．
It is important that schools teach students how to recognize and best manage stress.These skills will continue to do good to them throughout their lives.School-based stress management programs，such as yoga(瑜伽) programs，have proven to be helpful in the United States.Similar programs will bring advantages to Australian school children.
Schools can better support students by providing yoga programs.And among them，mindfulness practice is the most common.Mindfulness practice requires people to pay attention to the present moment and realize and accept feelings，thoughts and bodily sensations as they really are.It improves the ability to get used to new environments for the first-year college students.They will also feel less stressed about schoolwork.
In high schools，students believe mindfulness-based yoga programs can improve memory，grades，and their abilities to control their feelings.Students also think yoga could make them less interested in smoking and drinking and increase connection with family and friends.In fact，at home，parents can consider practicing mindfulness together with their kids.They can turn to online yoga programs and apps，such as Head Space and Smiling Mind.
Given the above facts，offering yoga programs in schools may help young people learn to manage stress better.
9．What problem do Australian students face
A．They are highly stressed.
B．They lose interest in study.
C．They aren’t healthy enough.
D．They don’t have yoga classes.
10．What does the third paragraph say about mindfulness practice
A．It fits college students best.
B．It’s a good way to manage stress.
C．It improves people’s physical health.
D．It’s the most popular yoga program.
11．What do high school students think of yoga
A．It will be a popular family activity.
B．It can only be learnt on the Internet.
C．It surely makes them become smarter.
D．It can keep them from some bad habits.
12．What’s the main idea of the text
A．Australian students are under stress.
B．Yoga should be added to Australian schools.
C．Yoga classes are becoming popular in Australia.
D．Americans manage stress better than Australians.

In the second year of my junior middle school，I went abroad to continue my education.Shortly after I moved in with my host family，an Italian girl moved in too.Since the house had limited space，we roomed together.My negative(消极的) opinions on roommates started from that moment.My roommate liked to invite friends over and hold parties，but I preferred staying in my room and enjoying myself.Then conflicts(矛盾) started to appear.

The first week of September was a week that I had been expecting all summer.I didn’t want summer to end.But I was excited about going to high school for my first week.
When I got to school in the morning on the first day I realized how large the school was，and how many students went there.I ended up in the wrong classroom because of the size of the school.Luckily，a kind senior showed up and guided me to my homeroom before I was late.I was happy to see that in a class of unfamiliar(不熟悉的) faces，the only open seat was next to my good friend，Casey.My science teacher seemed like a good teacher.She was exciting and fun.
After finishing four periods without too much of a challenge，I didn’t feel too bad about ninth grade.
However，the fifth period changed everything.I didn’t feel ready after all.My teacher’s name is Mr Valassidis but he told us to call him Mr V．Mr V told us that we would have to write 40 essays(文章) and read AP-level books such as The Odyssey this year.I love reading and writing，but come on,40 ESSAYS？AP-level books？Now I was afraid.
The courses in high school seem like they’re going to get much harder，but they haven’t yet.Even though my classes look hard，they look really exciting too.
The first week passed quickly.Although a lot of things left me at a loss：the size of the campus，the crowds(人群) and the seniors，having a totally different experience than I had ever had before was really exciting.Now，I’m really happy about high school.I have lots of friends in my classes，I really like my teachers and I’m glad to meet new people.
4．How did the writer feel when his high school life was about to start

Young adults(成年人) often have a lot to learn in school.However，occasionally，the life skills needed for them to become successful outside of school aren’t learned.This may be why the years after high school can sometimes be the most uneasy and tense times for young adults.
Some may say that life skills are to be taught by their parents rather than school，but that’s not exactly true.Some students don’t have a parent figure to teach them the necessary knowledge needed.As a result，they rely on school to provide them with those.This is why related courses should be set up in high schools.
Over the course of history，students generally go to an educational institution of some sort to find themselves spending their entire time learning math and science，instead of what is required for real world—communication，which is through behaviors and manners(礼仪)．Manners are important when having a conversation with family，friends，teachers perhaps or even employers.High schools should find a way to teach manners as a way for students to have respect and be open-minded when it comes to other individuals.
In addition，how to deal with finances(财政) is one of the major life skills for students.For people，especially young people，to live in today’s financial environment，knowledge of personal finance is a must.For example，schools educating students about building credit scores and keeping up with a credit card is helpful.However，educational institutions do not spend a good amount of time talking about the topic of money managing: paying taxes，mortgage，bills，insurance，etc.It is time to extend financial knowledge by making personal finance a required course at high schools and universities.
With the essential instructions of communication and financial management provided to the young adults，they will be more successful in their future life.
8．What does the underlined word “those” in paragraph 2 refer to
A．Life skills. B．Parent figures.
C．Subject courses. D．Adult experiences.
9．What does the author advise schools to teach students
A．Skills of making money.
B．The communication ability.
C．The history of their country.
D．Ways to study math and science.
10．What can be inferred from paragraph 4
A．It is easy to survive in today’s financial environment.
B．Most of the students don’t need to build credit scores.
C．Students are lacking in instructions of financial management.
D．Educational institutions spend much time on money managing.
11．What is the best title for the text
A．What Have Students Learned in School
B．Why Should Parents Teach Kids Life Skills
C．How Can Students Behave Well in Daily Life
D．Why Should Life Skills Be Taught in School

Unit 1 Back to school
课时精练一
Ⅰ.
1．A [细节理解题。由Visiting and Interviewing部分中“If distance prevents a visit to Kents Hill，we can arrange for a SKYPE interview.”可知，对于家很远的学生可以安排SKYPE面试。故选A。]
2．D [细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的第一、二句可知，新生注册SSAT(推荐)。根据最后一段中的第一句可知，如果你已经是一名高年级学生，请注册SAT(必填)。所以，高年级学生(非新生)需要注册SAT。故选D。]
3．B [写作意图题。由第一段内容以及后文可知，本文就申请 Kents Hill高中的一些细则进行了说明。故选B。]
4．B [细节理解题。根据第一段的“But I was excited about going to high school for my first week.”可知，当高中生活即将开始时，作者感到很高兴和兴奋，故选B。]
5．D [细节理解题。根据第二段的“I ended up in the wrong classroom because of the size of the school.”可知，上高中的第一天作者在校园里迷路了，故选D。]
6．B [细节理解题。根据第三段内容并结合V先生的例子可知，前四节课不难，但第五节课发生了变化。说明课程标准不一，难易不一。再根据第五段内容可知，课程没有想象中那么难，即使看起来有难度，但十分有趣。故选B。]
7．A [推理判断题。根据最后一段的“...having a totally different experience than I had ever had before was really exciting”可推知，“不同”和“兴奋”最能描述作者高中的第一周，故选A。]
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了学校向学生传授生活基本技能的必要性，学校应向年轻人提供沟通和财务管理的基本指导，使他们在未来的生活中获得更大的成功。
8．A [代词指代题。根据第二段的第一、二句可知，有些人认为生活技能应该由父母而不是学校教授，但有些学生不能得到家长的教育。因此画线句表示他们便会习惯性地依赖学校向他们传授那些生活技能的基本知识。“those”指代“life skills”。故选A。]
9．B [细节理解题。根据第三段和最后一段内容可知，作者认为学校应该找到一种方法来教授礼仪，因为在现实生活中沟通能力很重要，看得出作者是在建议学校教学生沟通能力。故选B。]
10．C [推理判断题。根据第四段的最后两句可知，在财务管理方面，教育机构为学生做得并不够，现在是时候通过将个人理财作为高中和高校的必修课程来扩展金融知识了。故可以推断出学生缺乏财务管理方面的指导。故选C。]
11．D [标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段可知，学校向学生传授生活基本技能是很有必要的。再由最后一段可知，生活基本技能主要包括沟通能力的培养和财务管理的基本指导两方面，以使学生获得更大的成功，因此D项“为什么要在学校教授生活技能？”可以作为文章的最佳标题。故选D。]

3．D [根据空前两句可知，此处在讲自我介绍的时候，如果你的城市有有趣的话题，可以多用一两句话介绍，或是历史遗迹，或是美丽风景，所以D项“Maybe it’s famous for its natural beauty.”符合文意，且和前句是同构复现。故选D。]
4．F [根据本段小标题“What are your interests and hobbies？”可知，本段是讲如何介绍自己的兴趣爱好，再根据空后一句可知，空处是在说要稍微详细地描述下你的爱好，所以F项符合文意，后文是对small facts的举例说明。故选F。]
