A
Sharon,Aged22
The most important thing to keep in mind when you are going into high school is to be yourself.Besides,I don’t know what your middle school was like,but high school teachers will not care about things such as how much homework you already have in one night.It’s best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to.
Frank,Aged21
I think almost every kid feels both nervous and excited before their first day.You will probably love it.I know I did.You should join some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable.Good luck!
Eddie,Aged20
When I started high school I was really nervous too,especially since I had been homeschooled all through middle school and didn’t really know anyone.I suppose the best advice would be to just relax.The first couple of days can be a little bit hard,but things will become easier before you know it.
David,Aged19
I’m not going to lie.The first day is kind of frightening(令人恐惧的).But you’ll get used to it.Don’t be afraid of anyone;upperclassmen will pick on you more if you let them know you’re afraid.Just take it easy.Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly.After the first week it’s really not bad at all.Don’t worry.

A.Teachers are quite strict.
B.Students often stay up at night.

Lunch ended and I went to have my art class.I was the first one there and not even my teacher was there yet.So I sat at my desk and started drawing some pictures.I didn’t notice the rest of the class walking in or the girl that was standing behind me till I was surprised by the voice,“So what are you drawing ” It was a girl who had really long hair.She ended up being my best friend and one of the kindest and liveliest girls I know.

Two years ago I was very lonely and didn’t talk with anyone about my feelings.At the time I didn’t have many friends.I wanted someone to share my experiences and secrets with.I wanted someone to understand me.I started to imagine this friend and often imagined our conversations and what we would do.

It hasn’t only been easy.We have gone through both easy and hard times.But I’m thankful for the hard times,because they have forced me to grow and taught me a lot.My best friend has changed me.She has made me believe in myself.And I am now focusing on achieving one of my biggest dreams.Without her I wouldn’t even have realised what my biggest dream is.

In the summer between my first year and second year in college,I was invited to be an instructor at a high school camp.On the first day,when we were dancing and playing games,I noticed a boy under the tree who was small and thin.His shyness made him appear weak.I walked towards him,introduced myself and invited him to join in the activities and meet some new people.He quietly replied,“No,I really don’t want to do this.” I could understand that he was in a new world but I knew it wouldn’t be right to force him,either.Actually,the boy didn’t need a close talk but a friend.
At lunch the next day,I was leading camp songs when I saw the boy under the tree sitting alone.I tried again with the same invitation,but he refused once again.That evening I was told the boy’s name was Tommy.Then I asked the campers to pay special attention to the boy and spend more time with him.
The days went by and the time came when we had to leave.We held a big,warm party to celebrate the closing of the camp.All the campers shared their wonderful moments.To my surprise,I found the boy from under the tree dancing joyfully with two students.
In October of my second year,I received a phone call from Tommy’s mother.She told me that Tommy was hit by a car and killed.I offered my deep sadness.The mother said,“Tommy mentioned you so many times.I want you to know that he went back to school and made new friends with confidence.You made a difference for Tommy.”
At that moment,I realised how easy it was to give a bit of yourself every day.You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else.I hope that everyone can pay attention to their own “boy under the tree”.

②The boy went back to school and made new friends.
③The boy refused to join in the activities.
④The boy’s mother made a phone call to the writer.
A.①②③④ B.②③①④
C.③①②④ D.④③②①
35.From paragraph 4,we can infer that Tommy’s mother was very to the writer.
A.thankful B.helpful
C.polite D.kind

HowtoTestBest
It’s back to school,which means it’s back to tests,which might also mean it’s back to being stressed out. 36 Here are some simple ways to prepare thoroughly for tests.
Schedulestudytime.
Trying to do all studying the night before a test makes it impossible to master all the materials. 37 Instead,prepare for a test by scheduling study time each day for several days before.
Useyourtimewisely.
38 Also,make sure you have all the supplies you need to study so you don’t lose focus.While studying,be sure to make regular short breaks.Get a snack,take a bathroom break or play a quick computer game when it feels as if your brain is about to explode.
39
Studying with a parent or friends can help you understand the material better and to learn from one another.Have every person or pair take a part of the material,and come up with questions to quiz the group.Keep the group small.Have everyone take turns as the group leader,who will assign the material,and make sure that conversation stays on what is being studied.
Don’tforgetlast-minutepreparation.
Have your sharpened pencils and other things in your bag ready the night before the test It’s important to get a good night’s sleep and then eating a healthy breakfast the next morning. 40 Also,studying all the way up until test time can only create more anxiety.Stop studying an hour before hand.
A.Form a study group.
B.Stay cool before the test.
C.It doesn’t have to be this way.
D.This will help you store important information.
E.This way,both your mind and body are fully prepared.
F.Before studying,clear your desk so you can concentrate.
G.It will also make you tired and stressed on the day of the test.

MumandHerBankAccount
My family had the tradition to sit down by the kitchen table every Saturday night to count out the money Dad had brought home.
“These are for the rent,and those for the groceries.” Mum counted out and divided the big silver pieces.
“I’ll need a notebook.” That would be my sister Christine,my brother Nels or me.
After Mum put one or two coins to the side for the notebook,she said that was all we needed to buy for the week and we all relaxed a little.We didn’t have to go downtown and draw money out of Mum’s bank account,which could always give us such a warm and secure feeling for having enough to afford the life.
When Nels graduated from grammar school,he needed some money for high school.We sat by the table and I offered my “Little Bank”,which was used for sudden emergencies such as the time when Christine broke her arm and had to see a doctor.I put the box carefully in front of Mum.After counting out the money in the little bank and finding that was not enough,we all agreed not to go to the bank but to find some ways.
Nels volunteered to work in Dillon’s grocery after school and Dad said he would give up smoking.Now there was enough money.We felt very happy.
So many things came out of the little bank that year:Christine’s dress for the school play,Nel’s operation...Whatever happened,we always knew we still had the bank to depend on.We never used her bank account.
That was twenty years ago.
Last year,I sold my first story.When the money came I thought of Mum’s bank account.
SoIhurriedovertoherhome.
Knowingthattherewasnobankaccountatall,Ifeltverysurprised.

After breakfast,Sally’s mother went out and left her alone at home.She checked her mobile phone during lunch—one of her friends sent her a message early in the morning.Dinner was at 6:30 p.m.After that,she finished her English homework.Then she surfed the Internet.

A 99-year-old woman and a high school student in British Columbia have formed a wonderful friendship through a programme that connects seniors with young people.
Myrtle MacDonald,99,says she signed up for the local programme after feeling lonely because her daughter and son couldn’t keep her company.She was paired(结对子) with Jaelyn Brown,17,based on their common interest — nursing.“I just found her more interested and less in a hurry than I expected.It has filled an empty spot,” said MacDonald.
For the high school students taking part,the time spent with seniors can be used towards volunteer hours needed for graduation.They’re supposed to speak for 30 minutes each week,but many go far beyond that.“I love and look forward to getting to talk to her every week.We talk about an hour and 15 minutes,and the time just goes by so quickly,” said Brown.
MacDonald,a former nurse,spent much of her life teaching and living in other parts of the world helping people in need.The stories are inspiring to Brown,who also wants to become a nurse.“In high school they usually say you go to school,you get a job,and you have kids.It’s a regular practice but talking to her has made me realise I don’t have to limit myself to one thing.I can have it all,” she said.
The programme has been a good fortune to both seniors and high school students.Due to various reasons,seniors can’t meet with their families and students are having trouble getting their volunteer hours.“Therefore,there’s been a huge positive response from them,” said the programme’s organiser Connie Stam.
24.How do the high school students help the seniors
A.By contacting their relatives.
B.By communicating with them.
C.By doing housework for them.
D.By setting up the volunteer programme.
25.What can be learned about the programme
A.It improves the seniors’ health.
B.It collects some data for research.
C.It calls for some practical nursing skills.
D.It goes beyond the requirement for graduation.
26.Which can best describe MacDonald as a nurse
A.Grateful. B.Graceful.
C.Helpful. D.Powerful.
27.What is the best title for the text
A.A Good Friend Is A Close Relative
B.True Friendship Bridges Age Gaps
C.Friendship Is the Basis of Morality
D.Old Friends and Old Wine Are Best
C
It’ll soon be the birthday of one of my closest friends,Susie.She’s a rare friend because she has been there for me all the time whenever I need a friend to talk to.I can always depend on her to be the first to arrive to give me advice when I have problems.I guess I am so lucky to have her as a friend.
It has been more than seven years since I first met Susie in our school.I joined the theatre group and she was a director then.At first I thought she was intimidating but in the end I realised that she needed to keep a strict image in order for her actors and actresses to take her seriously.And then during practice I got a chance to know her better.In fact,she was a friendly and warm-hearted person.Soon we became good friends.
I didn’t know exactly what to give my friend on her birthday as I believed she had everything.So it was really hard to buy her a gift she would appreciate.This year I wanted something different and special but I didn’t know what to give her.One day I searched the Internet without any purpose and to my surprise there was a really lovely site where you could buy all kinds of gifts.
I scanned some of the items and I found cool and exciting gifts.I chose a special personalised bracelet(手镯).I’m sure that this will look perfect on her.I put our names as part of the design of the bracelet so that it’ll remind us that we’ll forever be friends.I can’t wait to give her my gift but I haven’t told her yet.I don’t want to destroy the surprise.
28.Why does the author consider Susie as a rare friend
A.Because she can always offer help when the author is in need.
B.Because the author and Susie have lots of things to talk about.

C.while doing shopping in a store

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. 36 However,if you use these skills,you can quickly turn some of those strangers into friends.
Beyourself.
37 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 sport may make friends with those who also run or swim a lot.
38
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!
Believeinyourself.
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. 39 Introduce yourself.Tell them your name and where you’re from.
Rememberpeople’snames.
You like it when people use your name,and so do other people. 40 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 “Hi”.
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!

Military training taught us perseverance(坚持不懈) and determination.On the last day of our training,the confidence could be 53 in our faces.We shouted so loud that our 54 could be heard across the sky.With eyes like burning torches(火炬),we walked into the future.Now the sun is 55 at all of us.

Katie had always felt like she never connected with anyone.There was no one she considered a friend.So,when her parents decided to move,she was okay with it.She didn’t feel sad because she wasn’t leaving anyone behind.
She was eight when they moved to a new town.It wasn’t that different from where they had lived before.There were a lot of trees and kids running around outside,riding bikes,and playing.One day her mother caught her staring out the window at some kids playing.Her mom told her to go out and play with those kids.So Katie went out.She could see that they were all having fun and she wanted to join in but she was afraid.She tried to muster up the courage(鼓起勇气) to ask them if she could join them but she just couldn’t do it.
She decided to go for a walk instead.She liked how peaceful the town was.The people seemed nice and polite.Her stroll finally led her to the town’s lake.She felt the rush of cold air hitting her face.The beauty of the lake was something to behold.She sat there admiring it and decided that this would be her place.She would come here every day and maybe one day,she would bring her friends here.
After school,she always stopped by the lake before going home.She swore she could stay there for hours,maybe even live there.If she ever got hungry,she always had food ready in her bag.
One day when she was writing a poem about the lake,she heard her stomach growl.She put down her notebook and her pen and got her sandwich out.She was about to take a bite when she heard a noise.This alarmed her.She hadn’t heard or seen anything strange before.She looked around and suddenly she noticed that there was something black moving towards the bank.

A 99-year-old woman and a high school student in British Columbia have formed a wonderful friendship through a programme that connects seniors with young people.
Myrtle MacDonald,99,says she signed up for the local programme after feeling lonely because her daughter and son couldn’t keep her company.She was paired(结对子) with Jaelyn Brown,17,based on their common interest — nursing.“I just found her more interested and less in a hurry than I expected.It has filled an empty spot,” said MacDonald.
For the high school students taking part,the time spent with seniors can be used towards volunteer hours needed for graduation.They’re supposed to speak for 30 minutes each week,but many go far beyond that.“I love and look forward to getting to talk to her every week.We talk about an hour and 15 minutes,and the time just goes by so quickly,” said Brown.
MacDonald,a former nurse,spent much of her life teaching and living in other parts of the world helping people in need.The stories are inspiring to Brown,who also wants to become a nurse.“In high school they usually say you go to school,you get a job,and you have kids.It’s a regular practice but talking to her has made me realise I don’t have to limit myself to one thing.I can have it all,” she said.
The programme has been a good fortune to both seniors and high school students.Due to various reasons,seniors can’t meet with their families and students are having trouble getting their volunteer hours.“Therefore,there’s been a huge positive response from them,” said the programme’s organiser Connie Stam.

It’ll soon be the birthday of one of my closest friends,Susie.She’s a rare friend because she has been there for me all the time whenever I need a friend to talk to.I can always depend on her to be the first to arrive to give me advice when I have problems.I guess I am so lucky to have her as a friend.
It has been more than seven years since I first met Susie in our school.I joined the theatre group and she was a director then.At first I thought she was intimidating but in the end I realised that she needed to keep a strict image in order for her actors and actresses to take her seriously.And then during practice I got a chance to know her better.In fact,she was a friendly and warm-hearted person.Soon we became good friends.
I didn’t know exactly what to give my friend on her birthday as I believed she had everything.So it was really hard to buy her a gift she would appreciate.This year I wanted something different and special but I didn’t know what to give her.One day I searched the Internet without any purpose and to my surprise there was a really lovely site where you could buy all kinds of gifts.
I scanned some of the items and I found cool and exciting gifts.I chose a special personalised bracelet(手镯).I’m sure that this will look perfect on her.I put our names as part of the design of the bracelet so that it’ll remind us that we’ll forever be friends.I can’t wait to give her my gift but I haven’t told her yet.I don’t want to destroy the surprise.

答案:D
解析:词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“...Irealisedthatsheneededtokeepastrictimageinorderforheractorsandactressestotakeherseriously.”可知,Susie为了让演员们认真对待她,她需要保持严肃的形象。故intimidating意为“令人害怕的”。
30.Finally the author found a nice gift for her friend .
A.with the help of somebody else
B.by accident
C.while doing shopping in a store
D.without difficulty
答案:B

Carlos’s attendance to games and practice were sometimes sporadic(零星的).Mike started giving him rides to and from sporting events.One day,Carlos said he needed a place to stay for a few nights.That’s when Mike and Julie realised there was something more to his story.Then Carlos said that he had been evicted from his apartment because he wasn’t allowed to stay there by himself as a minor(未成年人).His mum had left and he was on his own.
One or two nights at the MacKinnon house became a week,a month.Finally,Mike and Julie decided to make a life-changing offer.Mike told him,“Look,you look comfortable here.We want you here.We talked to the other children.Do you want to just be part of our family ” Carlos was quick to accept.“We suddenly became a family that was meant to be,”Julie said. “I didn’t have to worry about things like food,paying for school and some other things,”Carlos said.The MacKinnons saw their lives change too.“He has an unbelievable smile,”Mike said.“He’s taught us to slow down and appreciate each moment.”

Katie had always felt like she never connected with anyone.There was no one she considered a friend.So,when her parents decided to move,she was okay with it.She didn’t feel sad because she wasn’t leaving anyone behind.
She was eight when they moved to a new town.It wasn’t that different from where they had lived before.There were a lot of trees and kids running around outside,riding bikes,and playing.One day her mother caught her staring out the window at some kids playing.Her mom told her to go out and play with those kids.So Katie went out.She could see that they were all having fun and she wanted to join in but she was afraid.She tried to muster up the courage(鼓起勇气) to ask them if she could join them but she just couldn’t do it.
She decided to go for a walk instead.She liked how peaceful the town was.The people seemed nice and polite.Her stroll finally led her to the town’s lake.She felt the rush of cold air hitting her face.The beauty of the lake was something to behold.She sat there admiring it and decided that this would be her place.She would come here every day and maybe one day,she would bring her friends here.
After school,she always stopped by the lake before going home.She swore she could stay there for hours,maybe even live there.If she ever got hungry,she always had food ready in her bag.
One day when she was writing a poem about the lake,she heard her stomach growl.She put down her notebook and her pen and got her sandwich out.She was about to take a bite when she heard a noise.This alarmed her.She hadn’t heard or seen anything strange before.She looked around and suddenly she noticed that there was something black moving towards the bank.
“Aswimmingblackdog!” Katiecriedoutinsurprise.
Everyday,Katiebroughtfiveextrasandwichesforherfriend.
参考范文
“Aswimmingblackdog!” Katiecriedoutinsurprise.At first,she felt a little frightened,because the dog was huge and wet.Then she tried to calm herself and guessed that “maybe it is just hungry”.So she offered her sandwich to the dog.After finishing its meal,the dog walked up to her and sat down beside her.She bravely reached out her hand to touch its head and introduced herself to it.The dog nodded as if to say “Nice to meet you,Katie.” From then on,Katie and the dog became friends.
Everyday,Katiebroughtfiveextrasandwichesforherfriend.She told the dog everything that happened to her at school.Sometimes,she sang or danced and the dog just nodded along.For the first time,she didn’t feel lonely.When her classmates knew there was a lovely dog swimming in the lake,they went with her to play with it after school every day.They spent time with her and the dog.All of them played games,sang,and danced.Having many friends gave her joy.
