This year over twenty-three hundred teenagers from all over the world will spend about ten months in US homes. They will attend US schools, meet 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 bad 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.”
8. What’s the purpose of the whole exchange program
A. To have teenagers learn something about Germany.
B. To send students in America to travel in Germany.
C. To let students learn something about other countries.
D. To help teenagers in other countries know the real America.
9. What is true in American schools
A. There are a lot of outside activities.
B. Students usually take 14 subjects in all.
C. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room.
D. There is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings.
10. What did Mike think after experiencing the American school life
A. German schools trained students to be better citizens.
B. American schools were not as good as German schools.
C. The easy life in American schools was more helpful to students.
D. A better education should include something good from both America and Germany.
11. What’s Mike’s attitude towards American education
A. Praise. B. Support. C. Ignore. D. criticize.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. D

Teenagers need eight to ten hours of sleep per night. However, in adolescence (青春期) changes to the body’s sleep cycle make it difficult for teens to fall asleep early. Many cannot fall asleep until 10:30 p.m. or even later and most of them will feel sleepy if they have to get up too early.
Scientists recommend that both middle and high schools begin no earlier than 8:30 a.m. Later school start times support the natural needs of teenagers and increase their sleeping time.
Here are some other benefits of later school start times:
More time for a healthy breakfast
When running late in the mornings, students are likely to go without breakfast. With an empty stomach, one finds it difficult to focus (集中) in class. When they are always in a hurry, students may form unhealthy eating habits.
With extra time before going to school, students can eat a well-balanced breakfast and focus more on learning.
Fewer behavioral (行为的) problems
Teens experience mood changes as a common result of this special period of life. Less sleep may cause worries, stress and unhappiness.
When they get enough sleep, students are calm and peaceful and their moods do not change suddenly. They’re less likely to feel worried, unhappy or get angry. For parents, children with more sleep are easier to live with.
Better performance (表现) in study
Sleep loss hurts attention, memory and brain development. Students with less sleep have difficulty paying attention in class and are likely to have lower grades. Students with enough sleep can be more energetic during the day and more willing to learn. They are also less likely to fall asleep in class and more able to understand what they learn.
In conclusion, starting school later helps students get a better night’s sleep. It improves their chances of eating, behaving and performing better.
12. According to the passage, what may cause teenagers to stay up
A. Their low grades. B. Their empty stomachs.
C. Their body’s sleep cycle. D. Their heavy homework.
13. How can sleep loss influence students’ study
A. It gives them much energy. B. It does harm to the brain.
C. It saves more time for study. D. It improves their memory.
14. What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage
A. To explain reasons for students’ stress. B. To describe bad habits caused by sleep loss.
C. To discuss scientists’ research on healthy food. D. To introduce benefits of later school start times.
15. In which part of the website can you probably find this passage
A. Education. B. Fashion. C. Sports. D. Technology.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“However, in adolescence (青春期) changes to the body’s sleep cycle make it difficult for teens to fall asleep early. (然而，在青春期，身体睡眠周期的变化使青少年很难早睡。)”可知，青少年身体的睡眠周期会导致他们熬夜，故选C。
【13题详解】

Many cannot fall asleep until 10:30 p.m. or even later and most of them will feel sleepy if they have to get up too early. (青少年每晚需要八到十个小时的睡眠。然而，在青春期，身体睡眠周期的变化使青少年很难早睡。许多人直到晚上10点半甚至更晚才能入睡，如果他们不得不早起，大多数人会感到困倦。)”以及第三段“Here are some other benefits of later school start times:(以下是推迟上学时间的其他一些好处:)”以及全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了青少年需要每晚8-10小时的睡眠，但由于身体睡眠周期的变化，青少年很难早早入睡，推迟上学时间有很多好处。因此推断文章属于教育范畴，我们可以在网站的教育部分找到这篇文章，故选A。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是青少年如何改善和父母之间的关系。
36题详解】
考查名词。句意：激烈的争论和冷漠的沉默在青少年和他们的父母之间是很常见的。“Heated”是形容词，修饰名词，“argue”的名词是argument，由后面的“silences”可知，空格处用复数名词作主语，故填arguments。
【37题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：当一切变得太过分时，你的父母往往是你愤怒的第一个目标。分析句子结构可知，本句是when引导的时间状语从句，get作从句谓语，描述客观状态，用一般现在时，主语it是单数，因此空格处用第三人称单数gets，故填gets。
38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：你的父母希望你表现得像个成年人，但仍然把你当作一个孩子时，这可能很困难。此处是固定搭配：expect sb. to do sth.意为“期待某人做某事”，不定式作宾语补足语。故填to act。
【39题详解】
考查代词。句意：虽然有时候一家人似乎不可能和睦相处，但你可以采取行动来改善这种情况。it+系动词+impossible to do sth.是固定短语，意为“做某事是不可能的”，其中it是形式主语，不定式是真正的主语，因此空格处用it，故填it。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：保持和平的关键是定期和诚实的沟通。空前的to是介词，后应接名词作宾语，所以空处应填动名词形式。故填keeping。
【41题详解】
考查状语从句。句意：如果/当你不同意父母的意见时，花点时间冷静下来，试着从他们的角度去理解情况。根据语境可知，句子表示“如果/当你不同意父母的意见时”，空格处用“如果”或“当……的时候”，用if或者when引导，位于句首，首字母大写。故填If或When。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意：如果/当你不同意父母的意见时，花点时间冷静下来，试着从他们的角度去理解情况。from one's point of view是固定短语，意为“从某人的观点来看”，因此空格处是介词from，故填from。
【43题详解】
考查连词。句意：在你想清楚之后，平静地解释你的行为和感受，仔细倾听，并解决他们的担忧。根据句意可知，“explain your actions and feelings calmly, listen carefully”和“address their concerns”是一系列并列的动作，是并列关系，因此空格处用表并列的连词and，故填and。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意：青少年和父母之间的暴风雨期不会持续太久。空格处用形容词作定语，修饰名词“period”，storm的形容词是stormy，意为“狂风暴雨的”。故填stormy。
【45题详解】
考查时态。句意：每件事最终都会变好，你青少年时期的变化和挑战将为你成年做好准备。分析句子结构可知，本句是and连接的并列句，prepare作后句的谓语动词，and前后时态一致，由前面的“will turn out”是一般将来时可知，空格处的时态是一般将来时，即will prepare，故填will prepare。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整短文，续写的词数应为150左右。
Lily loved school. However, there was one class Lily worried about more than any other—art. She didn’t know why she just wasn’t any good at drawing, painting, or cutting.
Ms. Clay, the art teacher, stood at the front of the room. “Class, next Friday our school is going to have an art competition,” she announced. Ms. Clay was a great teacher, and Lily liked her a lot. But this announcement made Lily nervous. “Everyone in the school will create a piece of artwork to show in the library. You can use the different types of artwork we have been studying.” Ms. Clay was quite excited when she spoke while Lily found herself sinking lower in her chair.
Lily had the whole weekend to work on her project, but she could not think of anything to do. On Monday, Lily felt frightened, so after school Lily asked Ms. Clay if she could write an art paper instead of doing an art project.
“I understand this project scared you, Lily,” Ms. Clay said. “Just remember, you can create any kind of art you want.” Ms. Clay smiled at her. “Art is a person’s way of expressing his or her feelings—it isn’t always painting, drawing, or cutting. I know you will think of something very creative, and I can’t wait to see it.”
When Lily arrived home, she took out a piece of paper and a pencil. She remembered Ms. Clay’s words. “Art is a person’s way of expressing his or her feelings.” Lily wrote the word “terrified” on her paper. She crumpled (揉皱) the paper and threw it to the side of her desk.
Then Lily stared at the crumpled ball. Suddenly an idea struck her.
Paragraph 1：
Why not create something out of crumpled paper
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2：
On Friday, Lily carefully carried her project into the library.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Why not create something out of crumpled paper The crumpled paper reminded her of a snowball. Lily didn’t have to draw or paint or even cut. Lily made many paper balls, glued them all together, and placed them on a big piece of hard paper to form a snowman. The snowman wore a hat made of black paper and a scarf made of red paper. Her finished project was really wonderful.
On Friday, Lily carefully carried her project into the library. She noticed the smile and the nods from teachers and other students as she put her work on a table. Ms. Clay walked over to Lily. “You have created a creative piece of artwork. I am so proud of you!” Ms. Clay said. Lily was proud of herself too. Her pride grew when Ms. Clay placed a first-place star on her artwork. “Maybe I am a good artist after all,” Lily thought.
【解析】
【分析】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了Lily喜欢学校。然而，有一门课是Lily最担心的——艺术。她不擅长绘画或者剪纸。美术老师Ms. Clay宣布学校要举行一场艺术比赛，这个声明让Lily很紧张。所以放学后Lily问Clay女士，她是否可以写一篇艺术论文，老师鼓励她按照自己的想法去做，她有了一个主意。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“为什么不用皱巴巴的纸来做东西呢？”可知，第一段可描写Lily这个想法的具体内容。
②由第二段首句内容“星期五，Lily小心翼翼地把她的项目带进了图书馆。”可知，第二段可描写Lily的作品受到了好评。
2.续写线索：想起做雪球——完成项目——老师和同学表扬——感到骄傲
3.词汇激活：
行为类
让某人想起：remind sb. of sth./make sb. think of
完成：finish/complete
注意：notice/spot
情绪类
微笑：smile/beam
以……为骄傲：take pride in/be proud of

This year over twenty-three hundred teenagers from all over the world will spend about ten months in US homes. They will attend US schools, meet 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 bad 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.”
8. What’s the purpose of the whole exchange program
A. To have teenagers learn something about Germany.
B. To send students in America to travel in Germany.
C. To let students learn something about other countries.
D. To help teenagers in other countries know the real America.
9. What is true in American schools
A. There are a lot of outside activities.
B. Students usually take 14 subjects in all.
C. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room.
D. There is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings.
10. What did Mike think after experiencing the American school life
A. German schools trained students to be better citizens.
B. American schools were not as good as German schools.
C. The easy life in American schools was more helpful to students.
D. A better education should include something good from both America and Germany.
11. What’s Mike’s attitude towards American education
A. Praise. B. Support. C. Ignore. D. criticize.
D
Teenagers need eight to ten hours of sleep per night. However, in adolescence (青春期) changes to the body’s sleep cycle make it difficult for teens to fall asleep early. Many cannot fall asleep until 10:30 p.m. or even later and most of them will feel sleepy if they have to get up too early.
Scientists recommend that both middle and high schools begin no earlier than 8:30 a.m. Later school start times support the natural needs of teenagers and increase their sleeping time.
Here are some other benefits of later school start times:
More time for a healthy breakfast
When running late in the mornings, students are likely to go without breakfast. With an empty stomach, one finds it difficult to focus (集中) in class. When they are always in a hurry, students may form unhealthy eating habits.
With extra time before going to school students can eat a well-balanced breakfast and focus more on learning.
Fewer behavioral (行为的) problems
Teens experience mood changes as a common result of this special period of life. Less sleep may cause worries, stress and unhappiness.
When they get enough sleep, students are calm and peaceful and their moods do not change suddenly. They’re less likely to feel worried, unhappy or get angry. For parents, children with more sleep are easier to live with.
Better performance (表现) in study
Sleep loss hurts attention, memory and brain development. Students with less sleep have difficulty paying attention in class and are likely to have lower grades. Students with enough sleep can be more energetic during the day and more willing to learn. They are also less likely to fall asleep in class and more able to understand what they learn.
In conclusion, starting school later helps students get a better night’s sleep. It improves their chances of eating, behaving and performing better.
12. According to the passage, what may cause teenagers to stay up
A. Their low grades. B. Their empty stomachs.
C. Their body’s sleep cycle. D. Their heavy homework.
13. How can sleep loss influence students’ study
A. It gives them much energy. B. It does harm to the brain.
C. It saves more time for study. D. It improves their memory.
14. What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage
A. To explain reasons for students’ stress. B. To describe bad habits caused by sleep loss.
C. To discuss scientists’ research on healthy food. D. To introduce benefits of later school start times.
15. In which part of the website can you probably find this passage
A. Education. B. Fashion. C. Sports. D. Technology.

Lily loved school. However, there was one class Lily worried about more than any other—art. She didn’t know why she just wasn’t any good at drawing, painting, or cutting.
Ms. Clay, the art teacher, stood at the front of the room. “Class, next Friday our school is going to have an art competition,” she announced. Ms. Clay was a great teacher, and Lily liked her a lot. But this announcement made Lily nervous. “Everyone in the school will create a piece of artwork to show in the library. You can use the different types of artwork we have been studying.” Ms. Clay was quite excited when she spoke while Lily found herself sinking lower in her chair.
Lily had the whole weekend to work on her project, but she could not think of anything to do. On Monday, Lily felt frightened, so after school Lily asked Ms. Clay if she could write an art paper instead of doing an art project.
“I understand this project scared you, Lily,” Ms. Clay said. “Just remember, you can create any kind of art you want.” Ms. Clay smiled at her. “Art is a person’s way of expressing his or her feelings—it isn’t always painting, drawing, or cutting. I know you will think of something very creative, and I can’t wait to see it.”
When Lily arrived home, she took out a piece of paper and a pencil. She remembered Ms. Clay’s words. “Art is a person’s way of expressing his or her feelings.” Lily wrote the word “terrified” on her paper. She crumpled (揉皱) the paper and threw it to the side of her desk.
Then Lily stared at the crumpled ball. Suddenly an idea struck her.
