Possible version：
In senior high, we may face many challenges in English learning, like word memorization and
grammar learning. To overcome them, consider these suggestions.
Firstly, instead of memorizing words and rules by root, we may read and listen to news, which
may enable us to grasp meanings more effectively. Secondly, engaging in conversations with
classmates or foreigners may help to apply what we’ve learned in real context, so that we can
improve both our language skills and interest.
Remember, challenges enhance learning. I do hope those tips may help you excel in the
exciting world of English learning!

Moving to a new neighborhood, town, state, or even country can be a pretty scary experience.
All you know is that things will be different and chances are you won’t know the kids at your new
school.
Leaving old friends and familiar places behind can be difficult. However, as you begin the
moving process, keep in mind that saying goodbye to your old house, school, and friends does not
mean that you have to forget them or that your farewell is permanent! If you’re moving to a new
state or even a different country and won’t see your friends for a long time, don’t despair. Make
sure to ask everyone for their address so you can write to them. Also, thanks to the Internet, it is
very easy to stay in touch through email or instant messaging technology. With your parent’s
permission, you can even create a blog or web page to chronicle all of your new experiences. Your
old friends will love seeing what you are busy with.
Many schools have an orientation program where a student already established at the school
show a new student around for their first week. This can help you to find your way around the
school and to make new friends faster.
While moving is tough on kids of any age, high school counselor Karen Turner says moves
can be particularly difficult for teens. “I think moving during adolescents is an extremely stressful
experience, especially if you are into your junior high or senior year. Students tend to have
established a very strong peer network during that period in their lives. Often this has more
influence on them even than their familiar in some cases, and when they are torn from that there’s
often resentment（怨气）.” However, Turner adds that while moving isn’t easy, there are things
that your parents and the school can do to help you cope with the change.
24. Who are the intended readers of the passage
A. Education experts B. School teachers C. Parents D. Students
25. Which of the following is mainly suggested in Paragraph 2
A. Staying in contact with old friends. B. Expressing yourself when it is possible.
A. Forming good habits at school. D. Keeping positive about your new school.
26. According to the passage, an orientation program___________.
A. helps local students in many ways B. is organized by new students
C. offers help to new students D. focuses on all the students at school
27. If this passage continues, what would the author further discuss
A. What a new school is like.
B. Why parents move with their children.
C. How parents and the school can help the children.
D. How children can express their anxiety.

C
English is fast becoming the language of science around the world, but what is its future
among everyday speakers One expert points out that the percentage(比率 ) of native English
speakers is declining(降低) while the languages of other rapidly growing regions are being spoken
by increasing numbers of people. But English will continue to remain widespread and important.
However, British language scholar David Graddol says English will probably drop in
dominance(主导) by the middle of this century to rank after Chinese, about equally with Arabic,
Hindi, and Urdu. “The number of people speaking English as a first language continues to rise, but
it isn’t rising nearly as fast as the numbers of many other languages around the world, simply
because the main population group has been largely in the less developed countries where
languages other than English have been spoken,” he says.
In a recent article in the journal Science, Mr. Graddol noted that three languages that are not
near the top of the list of the most widely spoken now might be there soon. These are Bengali,
Tamil, and Malay, spoken in south and southeast Asia.
David Crystal, the author of the Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language, says
about 1.5 billion of the world’s six billion people speak it as a second language compared to the
400 million native speakers. But another expert on the English language says Mr. Graddol
underestimates (低估 ) the future of its dominance. “All the evidence suggests that the English
language snowball is rolling down a hill and is getting faster, but nobody quite knows what’s
going to happen because no language has been in this position before.” he said.
28.In David Graddol’s opinion, English will _______.
A. remain widespread and important
B. be more important than any other language
C. lose its dominant position
D. die away in the near future
29. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph implies that ______.
A. more and more language users will choose English
B. the English language snowball is rolling down faster than any time in the past
C. English language will soon drop in dominance
D. snowballs will roll down faster than language balls
30. How many experts does the passage mention who express their ideas about the future of
English
A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5.
31. The article could probably come from_________.
A. a journal entry B. a university brochure
C. a column of newspaper D. a scientific report

D
The kitchen is not just where we prepare meals. In many places, the kitchen is the heart of the
home. It's where we connect with our family and friends. We have open talks about our pleasures
and problems we met during the day while we make dinner or have a bite to eat. So, it can be a
very busy room in the house.
Sometimes you need order in the kitchen for things to run smoothly. And sometimes you
need one person to be in charge. Imagine you are cooking dinner for your friends. As you are
making the soup, your friend Sara tastes it and says, "This needs more salt." So, she adds more
salt. Harlan comes to taste your soup and throws some fresh black pepper into the pot and some
dried herbs. Cecilia tastes the soup and pours in some vinegar. What will the soup be like
You are happy to spend time with your friends. But, quite frankly, all their opinions about
your soup are becoming annoying. Worst of all, you taste the soup and it's awful! And that is
where we get the expression "too many cooks spoil the soup".
This expression describes an age-old problem: If too many people help to complete a task, it
may not go very well. But, you may think, "If many people are trying to get something done, the
task will get done faster." After all, American English also has the expression "many hands make
light work".
To answer that point, I will draw your attention to the word "cook". Now, the cook is the
leader in the kitchen. They may have assistants to help them. But the cook has the final say. So,
what if a kitchen has many cooks Who is the leader Everyone! And that's where the trouble
comes.
32. What does the author think of the kitchen according to the first paragraph
A. It is crowded in many houses. B. It is where we feed our body and soul.
C. It helps to brighten up people's day. D. It serves as the most useful place in a home.
33. Why does the author take “your friends” as an example
A. To describe a common phenomenon（现象）.
B. To vividly introduce a saying.
C. To explain a way to be a good cook.
D. To stress the importance of teamwork.
34. Which situation agrees with "too many cooks spoil the soup"
A. A group of students get a task done together.
B. Some volunteers discuss how to help others.
C. Five designers want their own idea to be accepted.
D. Many retired workers learn how to be a cook.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. What Happens with Too Many Cooks in the Kitchen
B. Should a Cook Be Open to Suggestions
C. What Could a Cook Do to Everyone's Satisfaction
D. Why Will Too Many Cooks Work in the Kitchen

For tune Cookie Fr iends
Jenny frowned (皱眉) as she helped her mother and father set out the cooking supplies in the
shiny steel kitchen. Her family had just moved here from San Francisco, having bought a small
restaurant, which was set to open in the next few days.
“Moving here was a stupid idea,” Jenny complained mostly to herself.
“What’s that ” her mother asked, opening a box and lifting out several pots.
“Nothing,” Jenny mumbled (咕哝). The girl had been angry about the move, but her parents
had made the decision and were now too busy getting ready for the grand opening to listen to her
complaints.
The first few days at her new school hadn’t been easy, either. She found it hard to talk to
people she didn’t know, and it seemed like the students hadn’t even noticed her. Jenny sighed and
got back to washing dishes.
On the day of the grand opening, Jenny’s parents were all smiles, welcoming customers into
the restaurant, brightly decorated in gold and red. Even Jenny was happy as she rushed around,
seating guests, handing out menus, and pouring tall glasses of water. This was a big day for her
family.
At one of the tables sat a family with two daughters who were about Jenny’s age. As she
filled their glasses, Jenny realized the twins were in her class. Jenny lowered her head down so her
long hair covered her face, and she turned away from the table.
Jenny’s mother found her soon after, in the kitchen loading the dishwasher.
“Honey, what are you doing back here We need you out front with the customers.”
“Mom, I don’t want to be out there. There are kids from school!”
“So ” her mother asked. “That’s good! Go to take them some fortune cookies and say hello!”
she said to Jenny, pointing at the fortune cookies paper which read, “Many friends are found with
a single smile.”

M: I’m feeling very sick. I think I might have a cold.
W: I’m very sorry to hear that. How are you feeling now
M: I have a frog in my throat, a runny nose and a headache. It’s nothing too serious, but I don’t want
to get my students and other teachers sick.

W: Are you free now I have something to talk with you.
M: Yes, what's wrong, dear
W: I really think we need to cut down on the kids' French classes. '''They have no free time at all
after school.
M: I'm not so sure about that. They are in senior high school now, and I think they need to learn a
foreign language.
W: Oh, come on! They have to do their homework late every day. And they didn't wake up when
the alarm went off at 6:00 this morning. I woke them half an hour later.
M: Really Well, you may be right about the lessons, then.

W: What's your favourite subject
M: I like English best.
W: Speaking of English, I think it is difficult.
M: I know.
W: For me, the hard part is the vocabulary. I have trouble memorizing English words.
M: Well, there are things you can do. One thing I do is mark things in English.
W: What do you mean
M: For example, I write the word "chair" on a small piece of paper. Then I put the paper on a chair
in my house.
W: Mmm, it seems to be helpful.
M: And there is another idea: When I learn a word, I connect it with other words. For example, when
I learn the word "film", I make a note of a similar word ...
W: Movie!
M: That's right.

W: Imagine seeing you here, John. Weren't you supposed to be away on holiday
M: Well, Linda and I were about to leave for the beach when her brother Tony called saying his
family were coming for the weekend. So we stayed behind and spent the weekend with the family,
swimming in the pool, walking in the woods and going shopping.
W Sounds like fun.
M: Yeah. They liked it here so much that they decided to stay a bit longer for the whole week. So
we ended up going nowhere.
W: I'm not surprised. We had exactly the same experience two months ago. My aunt came over for
a visit, and so instead of going on the planned camping holiday, Tom and I just stayed at home.
M: It was not that bad. So long as I can take a few days off work, I don't care where we go.

Hello. My name's John Williams. I am an English teacher. And I have started a website to help you
improve English listening and speaking skills as quickly as possible. You just need to spend 5 to 10
minutes each day completing my online English our lessons. You can also download the videos to
your computer, exercise them and take your lessons again anytime. My online English course will
be a very easy, cheap and quick way to improve your English speaking, listening and conversation
skills, and also to improve your listening scores in English exams. Every day, you'll learn some new
English words and expressions. And you'll feel more confident in working and making friends in
English. You'll also learn correct English pronunciation. I always make sure my online English
lessons are short, interesting and easy to remember. My idea of learning English is that it is best for
you to learn a little each day and remember it clearly. This idea doesn't mean a new method. I hope
you can accept. Whether you're taking other English classes or not, and no matter what method you
use, I can help you to improve your English learning.
