On the first day of my new high school, I almost had a nervous breakdown.Everything about the school seemed so difficult. When I got home, my parents said,“You’re nervous and that’s okay. Everyone is afraid of high school.”I denied(否认) it. I wanted to be strong, so I refused to let anyone know about my fear, even my closest friends.
On the first day I was late for every class and was constantly lost. The school seemed like a puzzle that I couldn’t figure out. Was this how the whole year was going to be I didn’t think I could rise to this challenge, especially carrying a huge backpack that I could hardly lift. It was so big that I could knock someone out with it! The schoolmates seemed to regard me as a fool, and they were probably right.
Despite my fears, after the first week I finally had my schedule figured out. With the exception of falling up and down the stairs a couple of times and getting laughed at, high school was turning out to be not so bad. It was actually much better than middle school and much more challenging.
Since then, I've been elected vice monitor of my class, which wasn't much of a

Teenagers who talk on the cellphone a lot, and hold their phones up to their right ears,score worse on one type of memory test. That's the finding of a new study. That memory impairment might be one side effect of the radiation(放射线) that phones use to keep us connected while we're on the go.
Nearly 700 Swiss teens took part in a test of figural memory. This type helps us remember abstract(抽象的) symbols and shapes, explains Milena Foerster. The teens took memory tests twice, one year apart. Each time, they had one minute to remember 13pairs of abstract shapes. Then they were shown one item from each pair and asked to match it with one of the five choices. The study volunteers also took a test of verbal(言语的) memory. That's the ability to remember words. The two memory tests are part of an intelligence test. The researchers also surveyed the teens on how they use cellphones. And they got call records from phone companies. The researchers used those records to figure out how long the teens were using their phones. This allowed the researchers to work out how big a radiation exposure(接触) each person could have got while talking.
A phone user’s exposure to the radiation can differ widely. Some teens talk on their phones more than others. People also hold their phones differently. If the phone is close to the ear, more radiation may enter the body, Foerster notes. Even the type of network signal that a phone uses can matter. Much of Switzerland was using an older“second-generation”type of cellphone networks, the study reports. Many phone carriers(通讯公

司) have moved away from such networks. And more companies plan to update their networks within the next few years.
The teens' scores in the figural memory tests were roughly the same from one year to the next. But those who normally held their phones near the right ears, and who were also exposed to higher levels of radiation, scored a little bit worse after a year. No group of teens showed big changes on the verbal memory test. Why might one type of memory be linked to cellphone use, but not another Foerster thinks it could have to do with where different memory centers sit in the brain. The site that deals with the ability to remember shapes is near the right ear.
42. The underlined word“impairment”in Paragraph 1 most probably means“ ”.
A. association B. damage C. pattern D. improvement
43. What can we infer from Paragraph 3
A. How people hold their phones has no effect on their bodies.
B. Phone users can make more money with new networks.
C. The cellphone network type has little to do the cellphone use.
D. Radiation levels are affected by the cellphone network types.
44. According to the study, teens who use their phones to their right ears a lot do worse in .
A. matching numbers B. reading signals
C. remembering shapes D. learning words
45. What might be the best title for the text
A. Cellphone use and safety warnings
B. Facts about cellphone use at school
C. Dangerous levels of cellphone use among teens
D. Teen’s cellphone use linked to memory problems

A few weeks ago, my teenage daughter failed a test. She was embarrassed, angry,anxious and there were tears in her eyes. This grade might prevent her from qualifying for the next key class she wanted to take.
She took some time to complain to me. Then I saw something interesting. She calmed herself down by making a joke. She expressed thankfulness that she didn't have bigger problems. Then she made a plan to talk to her teacher to improve her skills. This was a great change from the kid I was watching deal with disappointment a few years ago,the one who once was unwilling to take responsibility and blamed others, which shows she has grown up and understood the good in the bad.
We expect our kids to learn and grow, but many of them will also grow through adversity(逆境), and even thrive(茁壮成长) after trauma(创伤). Psychologists call it post-traumatic growth. Trauma, defined as an emotional response to a terrible event like
期中学情调研 高一年级英语学科 第 6 页 共 9 页
an accident, attack, natural disaster, or other life-changing happenings, is painful and even can be harmful. Trauma does leave its mark, but the mark may not be all bad and there can also be growth.
In one study, researchers surveyed nearly 385 people who experienced financial adversity, even while working full-time. These people are also the parents or primary caregivers or young children in education. And those surveyed had either been sick with an illness or had a loved one who’s been in bad health. Despite all of this adversity, 88 percent of the people surveyed said they now have stronger family relationships and a greater appreciation for life. Some said they experienced spiritual growth and 11 percent reported they discovered new opportunities.
Hardship makes us adapt, respond, and find other ways to solve it. When we do, we become not only able to heal the trauma associated with it but also thrive again. We build up confidence and experience that will help us the next time we face adversity.
46. How did the author's daughter react after failing the test
A. She blamed other people for her failure.
B. She felt grateful and meant to improve.
C. She became more anxious and angrier.
D. She refused to take responsibility.

A. She became more frighted of difficulties in life.
B. She developed a stronger support system.
C. She became more negative and disappointed.
D. She grew up and understood the value of hardships.
48. What did the study mentioned in the article tell about surveyed people
A. They became more disconnected from others.
B. They developed responsible attitude towards their families.
C. They had a better family and increased appreciation for life.
D. They experienced a decline in their overall well-being.
49. How does hardship contribute to personal growth according to the article
A. It prevents a person from healing from trauma.
B. It limits personal ability to adapt to adversity.
C. It encourages a person to find different solutions and develops confidence.
D. It results in long-term negative effects on a person’s emotional well-being.
50. What is the main message of the article regarding adversity and growth

B. Traumatic events leave only harmful effects.
C. Adversity always leads to negative outcomes.
D. People who face trauma are unable to heal from it.
