Last year, I had the chance to study at a British secondary school as an exchange (交换) student.
The British school day begins at 9 a.m. and ends at 4 p.m. Students usually have to learn nine subjects at secondary school. Every student in the UK must study English, Maths and the Science subjects: Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Students can also choose to study other subjects, such as History, Art and Business. The classes are different from those in China. Each teacher has their own classroom and the students move around for every lesson.
I enjoyed most of the classes, but some of them were quite challenging. Maths was quite easy and enjoyable because the material was less advanced in the UK than in China. However, learning in English was a great challenge for me. There were a lot of difficult English words, especially in Geography and Biology. Class discussion is very important in the UK, but I could not make a great contribution because sometimes I wasn’t able to express myself clearly in English. Although there was not as much homework as I was used to, it was still challenging. Fortunately, my teachers and classmates were always helpful and gave me lots of encouragement. My language skills improved over time.
After school, there were many clubs to join. The one that attracted me most was the Rugby Club. It was great fun. Also, I enjoyed acting in the Theatre Club. I still have photos of myself acting in William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. For me, joining clubs was a great way to meet British students and make friends with them.
I am glad to have the opportunity to experience this different way of life. I met some great people and learnt a lot about school life in the UK.
4. What can we learn about British secondary school
A. School day starts early in the morning.
B. Science subjects are optional.
C. Teachers have fixed classrooms.
D. Students are free to choose subjects.

A. Attractive. B. Difficult. C. Creative. D. Various.
6. What do we know about the writer

B. He was scared of joining in classroom discussion.
C. He didn’t do well at first due to language skills.
D. He had few chances to make friends.

C. Advice for exchange students.
D. Challenges in the UK schools.

Some immigrants (外来移民) in the northeastern part of the US, Maine, are learning to lose their accents. They speak English fluently but have a difficult time being understood because they have heavy accents.
Nyirabahizi said she left her home and job in Rwanda two years ago, coming to America in hopes of a brighter future. She has a master’s degree in computer science and speaks English fluently. She said all of her classes in Rwanda were taught in English, but here she had to learn again because of her accent.
She attended a free class to reduce her accent with seven other students. The city of Portland conducted the class and Greenlaw was the teacher. She said immigrants who had reduced their accents had greater success at work. And they could communicate more easily with store workers, teachers, doctors and neighbors. “It’s a basic need to be understood,” Greenlaw told the newspaper, “It affects every part of their lives.”
Greenlaw began the class by telling students the 44 sounds of the English language. She told the students how the lips and jaws worked to form the sound. She told the students that some American English pronunciation rules didn’t make a lot of sense. But she said it was important to learn them if immigrants wanted to be understood by Americans.
Losing one’s accent is especially important for immigrants who live in Maine. More than 90 percent of the population of Maine are whites. Many people who live in Maine have not heard foreign accents except in movies or on televisions.
Greenlaw said some Mainers were impatient with people who spoke English with heavy accents. Her students said some Mainers ignored them or were unfriendly toward them because of their accents. They said this made them less likely to speak.
8. Why do some immigrants have difficulty making themselves understood
A. Their classes aren’t taught in English. B. They don’t master English at school.
C. They speak English with heavy accents. D. They don’t speak English fluently.
9. Why did Nyirabahizi and other students attend the free class
A. To change their low social positions. B. To hide their identities of immigrants.
C. To forget their native languages. D. To help them better work and communicate.
10. What is some Mainers’ attitude toward immigrants with heavy accents
A. Grateful. B. Cold. C. Doubtful. D. Supportive.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Immigrants Learn to Change Their Accents B. Immigrants Are Required to Speak Well
C. Heavy Accents Cause Failures D. Good English Makes Success
D
There is a well-known saying that was originally popularized by a 1980s cartoon series called G. I. Joe: A Real American Hero. That saying is “Knowing is half the battle.” At the end of every G. I. Joe episode, there would be a public service announcement, which gave safety tips and other important life lessons to kids. After that, a child would say “Now I know! ” And an adult would end with, “And knowing is half the battle.”
If knowing is half the battle, then the other half must be doing. “Recent work in cognitive (认知的) science has demonstrated that knowing is a shockingly tiny part of the battle for most real-world decisions,” cognitive psychologists Laurie Santos and Tamar Gendler wrote to Edge. org. In other words, knowing something is likely not enough to overcome our brain’s “built-in” reactions. It just simply isn’t enough to result in behavioral change. Even if knowing isn’t exactly half the battle, it is still important to “know”. If you know about something, then it makes you more aware of it. This, in turn, is the first step to making a change.
If you find yourself struggling to make some sort of change in your life, there are some steps you can take to help you turn your “knowing” into “doing”. First, whether you want to improve your study habits, eat more healthily, or get more sleep, you should write your goals down. When you write down your goals, you document them on paper, which makes them clearer and easier to follow. Next, break down your goals so that they are easier to manage. Making bite-sized steps to achieve your goals will help motivate you to keep moving forward and complete more of these mini goals. Finally, find someone you can share your progress with. Having a friend, family member, or even an online app can help to keep you in check to make sure you get all of the support you need.
It seems that “knowing is half the battle” is no more. So put your energy into doing. There is no better time than the present, of course!
12. What makes “Knowing is half the battle” popular
A. Important life lessons. B. G. I. Joe: A real American hero.
C. A public service announcement. D. Recent work in cognitive science.
13. What can we know from the saying “Knowing is half the battle.”
A. Knowing something is worthless.
B. Knowing is just the first step to making a change.
C. Knowing is the battle for most real-world decisions.
D. Knowing contributes to overcoming our brain’s reaction.
14. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A. Some measures taken to follow your goals.
B. Some measures taken to share your progress.
C. Some measures taken to make knowing a reality.
D. Some measures taken to motivate you to move forward.
15. What can we conclude from this passage
A. Put knowing into action. B. Well begun half done.
C. Words agree with action. D. Action speaks louder than words.

Another disappointing day was passing, and he was driving his beat-up old car home. He was out all day looking for a job. It was getting dark and light snow was coming down, so he almost didn’t see the old lady standing on the side of the road. It was clear that she needed help. He pulled up in front of her obviously brand new and expensive car and got out.
While nobody had stopped to help for the last hour and there was a smile on his face, she was worried when he approached her. He didn’t look safe. He looked poor and hungry.
He could see she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He said, “I’m here to help you, ma’am. Why don’t you wait in your car to keep warm My name is Bryan.”
A tire was flat. Bryan fetched tools from his own car to change the tire. But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt. As he was tightening her car’s nuts, she rolled down the window, said thanks and asked him how much she owed him. Any amount would have been all right with her. She had already imagined all the awful things that could have happened without his help.
Bryan never thought twice about the money. He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed. He waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been a cold and depressing day, but he felt good as he headed for home.
Soon the lady saw a small restaurant. She went in to grab a bite to eat and warm up before she made the last leg of her trip home. The waitress came over with a sweet smile and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant(怀孕的). Although the waitress looked tired and walked painfully due to the pregnancy, she still served the lady.
Paragraph 1:
After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a one-hundred-dollar bill. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
That night when the waitress got home from work, she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written.

Some immigrants (外来移民) in the northeastern part of the US, Maine, are learning to lose their accents. They speak English fluently but have a difficult time being understood because they have heavy accents.
Nyirabahizi said she left her home and job in Rwanda two years ago, coming to America in hopes of a brighter future. She has a master’s degree in computer science and speaks English fluently. She said all of her classes in Rwanda were taught in English, but here she had to learn again because of her accent.
She attended a free class to reduce her accent with seven other students. The city of Portland conducted the class and Greenlaw was the teacher. She said immigrants who had reduced their accents had greater success at work. And they could communicate more easily with store workers, teachers, doctors and neighbors. “It’s a basic need to be understood,” Greenlaw told the newspaper, “It affects every part of their lives.”
Greenlaw began the class by telling students the 44 sounds of the English language. She told the students how the lips and jaws worked to form the sound. She told the students that some American English pronunciation rules didn’t make a lot of sense. But she said it was important to learn them if immigrants wanted to be understood by Americans.
Losing one’s accent is especially important for immigrants who live in Maine. More than 90 percent of the population of Maine are whites. Many people who live in Maine have not heard foreign accents except in movies or on televisions.
Greenlaw said some Mainers were impatient with people who spoke English with heavy accents. Her students said some Mainers ignored them or were unfriendly toward them because of their accents. They said this made them less likely to speak.
8. Why do some immigrants have difficulty making themselves understood
A. Their classes aren’t taught in English. B. They don’t master English at school.
C. They speak English with heavy accents. D. They don’t speak English fluently.
9. Why did Nyirabahizi and other students attend the free class
A. To change their low social positions. B. To hide their identities of immigrants.
C. To forget their native languages. D. To help them better work and communicate.
10. What is some Mainers’ attitude toward immigrants with heavy accents
A. Grateful. B. Cold. C. Doubtful. D. Supportive.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Immigrants Learn to Change Their Accents B. Immigrants Are Required to Speak Well
C. Heavy Accents Cause Failures D. Good English Makes Success
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“They speak English fluently but have a difficult time being understood because they have heavy accents.(他们英语说得很流利，但由于口音重，很难被理解)”可知，有些移民很难让别人理解他们因为他们说英语口音很重。故选C。

There is a well-known saying that was originally popularized by a 1980s cartoon series called G. I. Joe: A Real American Hero. That saying is “Knowing is half the battle.” At the end of every G. I. Joe episode, there would be a public service announcement, which gave safety tips and other important life lessons to kids. After that, a child would say “Now I know! ” And an adult would end with, “And knowing is half the battle.”
If knowing is half the battle, then the other half must be doing. “Recent work in cognitive (认知的) science has demonstrated that knowing is a shockingly tiny part of the battle for most real-world decisions,” cognitive psychologists Laurie Santos and Tamar Gendler wrote to Edge. org. In other words, knowing something is likely not enough to overcome our brain’s “built-in” reactions. It just simply isn’t enough to result in behavioral change. Even if knowing isn’t exactly half the battle, it is still important to “know”. If you know about something, then it makes you more aware of it. This, in turn, is the first step to making a change.
If you find yourself struggling to make some sort of change in your life, there are some steps you can take to help you turn your “knowing” into “doing”. First, whether you want to improve your study habits, eat more healthily, or get more sleep, you should write your goals down. When you write down your goals, you document them on paper, which makes them clearer and easier to follow. Next, break down your goals so that they are easier to manage. Making bite-sized steps to achieve your goals will help motivate you to keep moving forward and complete more of these mini goals. Finally, find someone you can share your progress with. Having a friend, family member, or even an online app can help to keep you in check to make sure you get all of the support you need.
It seems that “knowing is half the battle” is no more. So, put your energy into doing. There is no better time than the present, of course!
12. What makes “Knowing is half the battle” popular
A. Important life lessons. B. G. I. Joe: A real American hero.
C. A public service announcement. D. Recent work in cognitive science.
13. What can we know from the saying “Knowing is half the battle.”
A. Knowing something is worthless.
B. Knowing is just the first step to making a change.
C. Knowing is the battle for most real-world decisions.
D. Knowing contributes to overcoming our brain’s reaction.
14. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A. Some measures taken to follow your goals.
B. Some measures taken to share your progress.
C. Some measures taken to make knowing a reality.
D. Some measures taken to motivate you to move forward.
15 What can we conclude from this passage
A. Put knowing into action. B. Well begun half done.
C. Words agree with action. D. Action speaks louder than words.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章说明了需要将知道付诸行动的道理。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“There is a well-known saying that was originally popularized by a 1980s cartoon series called G. I. Joe: A Real American Hero. That saying is “Knowing is half the battle.”(20世纪80年代，一部名为《特种部队：真正的美国英雄》的卡通片让这句家喻户晓的谚语广为流传。俗话说：“知道是成功的一半。”)”可知，是《特种部队：一个真正的美国英雄》让“知道是成功的一半”这句话流行起来。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第五句“Even if knowing isn’t exactly half the battle, it is still important to “know”. (即使知道并不是战斗的一半，但“知道”仍然很重要)”及最后一句“This, in turn, is the first step to making a change. (反过来，这是做出改变的第一步)”可知，“知道是成功的一半”意味着，知道只是做出改变的第一步。故选B项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段第一句“If you find yourself struggling to make some sort of change in your life, there are some steps you can take to help you turn your “knowing” into “doing”. (如果你发现自己正努力在生活中做出某种改变，你可以采取一些步骤来帮助你把“知道”变成“做”)”及后文的举措可知，第三段主要介绍了为使知道成为现实而采取的一些措施。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段 “It seems that “knowing is half the battle” is no more. So, put your energy into doing. There is no better time than the present, of course!( “知道是成功的一半”的说法似乎不再存在了。所以，把你的精力投入到行动中。当然，没有比现在更好的时间了！)”可知，现在仅仅知道已经没有用了，需要将知道付诸行动。故选A项。

Another disappointing day was passing, and he was driving his beat-up old car home. He was out all day looking for a job. It was getting dark and light snow was coming down, so he almost didn’t see the old lady standing on the side of the road. It was clear that she needed help. He pulled up in front of her obviously brand new and expensive car and got out.
While nobody had stopped to help for the last hour and there was a smile on his face, she was worried when he approached her. He didn’t look safe. He looked poor and hungry.
He could see she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He said, “I’m here to help you, ma’am. Why don’t you wait in your car to keep warm My name is Bryan.”
A tire was flat. Bryan fetched tools from his own car to change the tire. But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt. As he was tightening her car’s nuts, she rolled down the window, said thanks and asked him how much she owed him. Any amount would have been all right with her. She had already imagined all the awful things that could have happened without his help.
Bryan never thought twice about the money. He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed. He waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been a cold and depressing day, but he felt good as he headed for home.
Soon the lady saw a small restaurant. She went in to grab a bite to eat and warm up before she made the last leg of her trip home. The waitress came over with a sweet smile and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant(怀孕的). Although the waitress looked tired and walked painfully due to the pregnancy, she still served the lady.
Paragraph 1:
After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a one-hundred-dollar bill. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
That night when the waitress got home from work, she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written.

【答案】Paragraph 1:
After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a one-hundred-dollar bill. The waitress quickly went to get change for her hundred-dollar bill, but the old lady had driven off. She was gone by the time the waitress came back The waitress wondered where the lady did so. Then she noticed something written on a napkin. There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady wrote “You don't owe me anything. I have been there too. Somebody, once helped me out the way I’m helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you dodo not let this chain of love end with you.” Under the napkin were four more hundred-dollar bills.
Paragraph 2:
That night when the waitress got home from work, she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written. She was wondering how the lady knew she and her husband were in need. With the baby to be bom next month, life was going to be hard. She knew how worried her husband was, and now everything is going to be all right. Knowing what had happened, her husband, Bryan, shed tears of joy and gratitude.
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文，要求续写该故事。
【详解】根据文章内容可知，布莱恩帮助了一位女士，但他不求回报，希望女士将爱传递下去，女士走后去餐馆吃饭，根据第一段的提示内容“那位女士用完餐后，她付了一百美元。”可以推测出本段是讲述女士用她的方式把爱传递给了孕妇服务员；根据第二段的提示内容“那天晚上，当女服务员下班回家时，她在想那笔钱和那位女士写的东西。”可知，本段应是讲述服务员回家后告诉家人所发生的的事，可以设想一下戏剧性的结局，比如女服务员的丈夫就是布莱恩。
【点睛】本文续写完全符合要求，思路清晰，情节合理。文章使用了几个高分句型。1. The waitress wondered where the lady did so. 本句是where引导的宾语从句。2. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you dodo not let this chain of love end with you.” 本句含if引导的条件状语从句和what引导的表语从句。3. She was wondering how the lady knew she and her husband were in need. 本句是how引导的宾语从句。
