What a day! I started at my new school this morning and had the best time. I made lots of new friends and really liked my teachers. I was nervous the night before, but I had no reason to be. Everyone was so friendly and polite. They made me feel at ease. It was like I’d been at the school for a hundred years!
The day started very early at 7：00 am. I had my breakfast down stairs with my mom. She could tell that I was very nervous. Mom kept asking me what was wrong. She told me I had nothing to worry about and that everyone was going to love me. If they didn’t love me, she would send them her way for a good talking to. I couldn't stop laughing.
My mom dropped me off at the school gate about five minutes before the bell. A little blonde (金发的) girl got dropped off at the same time and started waving(招手) at me. She ran over and told me her name was Abigail. She was very nice and we became close straight away. We spent all morning together and began to talk to another girl called Stacey. The three of us sat together in class all day and we even made our way home together! It went so quickly. Our teacher told us that tomorrow we would really start learning and developing new skills.

Should We Fear Maths
How good are you at maths Some people love the challenge of algebra (代数) or enjoy working out number puzzles. But many dread the moment when they have to deal with numbers and figures and feel a real sense of worry and confusion. It can seem depressing(令人沮丧的), but this maths anxiety is perfectly normal, and you’re definitely not alone. And anyway, our worries and fears don’t necessarily reflect our ability.
Research has found that maths teachers who are nervous about teaching the subject can pass on their anxiety to the pupils, and girls maybe more likely to be affected. The Programme for International Student Assessment found around 31% of 15-and 16-year-olds across 34 countries said they got very nervous while doing maths problems, 33% said they got tense while doing maths homework, and nearly 60% said they worried maths classes would be difficult.
Psychologists (心理学家) have been trying to work out why mental arithmetic (心算) can bring us out in a sweat. That seed of fear may come from many sources, but some suggest that expressing your fears can loosen their hold on you, and encourage children to see a maths test as a challenge, not a threat. In fact, we need to think positively about maths and give it a second chance.
8. How to understand the underlined words in the paragraph one
A. You are very lonely in studying maths.
B. You are not the only person that fears maths.
C. You don't have the ability to study maths.
D. You are not good at learning maths well.
9. Why do the numbers are mentioned in the paragraph two
A. To express the maths anxiety among students.
B. To introduce the difficulties of learning maths well.
C. To emphasize the importance of learning maths.
D. To compare learning abilities between boys and girls.
10. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. The more you worry about maths, the stronger your ability will be.
B. Girls find it more difficult to solve maths problems.
C. It is normal for most people to have a lot of pressure on maths.
D. Maths teachers have nothing to do with students’ anxiety.
11. What do psychologists probably agree with
A. Pupils should learn mental arithmetic to overcome fears.
B. Only by expressing fears can people solve maths problems.
C. Maths tests can encourage children to challenge themselves.
D. People should take a positive attitude towards maths problems.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍很多人都会有数学焦虑，说明了产生数学焦虑的原因以及如何克服数学焦虑。
【8题详解】
句意猜测题。根据划线句子的前半句话“It can seem depressing(令人沮丧的), but this maths anxiety is perfectly normal(这看起来可能令人沮丧，但这种数学焦虑是完全正常的)”可知，数学焦虑是很正常的事情。而且这种现象非常普遍。所以可推知，你所体验的数学焦虑并不是你一个人的事情，很多人也都有。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第一句话“Research has found that maths teachers who are nervous about teaching the subject can pass on their anxiety to the pupils, and girls maybe more likely to be affected. (研究发现，对教授这门学科感到紧张的数学老师可能会将他们的焦虑传递给学生，而女孩可能更容易受到影响)”可推知，下文中列举这些数字是为了表达学生们的数学焦虑。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句话“It can seem depressing(令人沮丧的), but this maths anxiety is perfectly normal, and you’re definitely not alone. And anyway, our worries and fears don’t necessarily reflect our ability.(这看起来可能令人沮丧，但这种数学焦虑是完全正常的，你肯定不是唯一一个。不管怎样，我们的担忧和恐惧并不一定反映出我们的能力)”可知，对于大多数人来说，对于数学的焦虑是很正常的。故选C。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句话“In fact, we need to think positively about maths and give it a second chance.(事实上，我们需要积极思考数学，并给它第二次机会)”可知，心理学家们觉得学生们应该积极的面对数学问题。故选D。

【16题详解】
根据空前“It’s the end of August, and it’s time to start thinking about going back to school. For some, it’s a very exciting time. For others, however, they can feel very stressful.(现在是八月底，是时候开始考虑回学校了。对一些人来说，这是一个非常激动人心的时刻。然而，对其他人来说，他们可能会感到非常紧张。)”可知对于返校这件事有的人会感到紧张，根据后文第二、三、四段及第五段每段的小标题可知后文是在提出一些建议，空处承上启下，所以空处应该讲的是有一些建议可以让对于返校感到紧张的一部分人的第一天过得更愉快一些，C项“There are some tips to help you have a great first day at school.(这里有一些建议可以帮助你度过美好的第一天。)”指出此处有一些建议可以让这些人参考，承接上文，引出下文，符合下文语境。故选C项。
【17题详解】
根据本段小标题“Stay busy throughout the summer holiday.(整个暑假都保持忙碌。)”可知本段的建议主要是要让自己在暑假期间保持一种忙碌的状态，根据空前“Usually those who struggle(挣扎) on their first days are people who spend too much of their summer holiday indoors and relaxing. So you should try to stay active and busy over the course of the holiday.(通常那些在第一天挣扎的人是那些在暑假里花太多时间在室内和放松的人。所以你应该试着在假期中保持活跃和忙碌。)”可知在开学第一天挣扎的人往往是那些将大量时间花在室内和放松的人，所以要让自己在假期期间保持忙碌，空处位于段末，应对前文进行总结，所以空处应该讲怎样让自己忙碌起来，G项“There are lots of things you can do, such as getting a summer job or taking up a sport.(你可以做很多事情，比如找一份暑期工作或参加一项体育运动。)”明确指出可以通过暑期打工或者参加一项体育运动让自己保持忙碌，符合上下文语境。故选G项。
【18题详解】
根据本段小标题“Continue learning over the summer holiday.(暑假期间继续学习。)”可知本段主要讲的是暑假期间要继续学习，根据空后“Learning itself doesn’t have to be boring! You can learn about anything you want. Simply keeping your brain in the habit of learning will give you an extra advantage when it’s time to go back to school.(学习本身并不一定是无聊的!你可以了解任何你想了解的东西。只要让你的大脑保持学习的习惯，当你回到学校的时候，就会给你带来额外的优势。)”可知只要你让大脑时刻处于学习的状态，当回到学校时你就会占有优势，所以空处应该讲的是那些在假期不继续学习的人会在开学之初有一番的挣扎，前后对比，强调要让大脑保持学习状态的重要性，F项People who struggle the most at first are those who aren’t learning over the holiday.(最开始挣扎的人是那些在假期里没有学习的人。)指出假期不学习的人在开学之初会很难过，符合上下文语境。故选F项。
【19题详解】
根据本段小标题“Spend time with friends that will attend the same school. (花时间和同校的朋友在一起。)”可知本段主要讲的是要抽出时间和同校朋友在一起，根据空前“If you have any friends living in the same neighborhood, there are chances(可能性)that you will go to the same school! Make a point of creating stronger bonds(关系)with those friends.(如果你有朋友住在同一个社区，你们就有可能上同一所学校！与这些朋友建立更紧密的联系。)”可知此处讲的是要与同一社区的朋友建立紧密的联系，根据空后“While there’s always some worry about the first day of school, having friends around that care about you makes it much easier.(开学第一天总会有些担心，但身边有关心你的朋友会让这一切变得容易得多。)”可知此处讲的是在开学第一天如果有朋友关心自己一切会变得更容易，空处承上启下，所以空处应该讲要与朋友在一起过暑假从而增进你们之间的关系，D项Spend part of your summer holiday with them, and grow closer.(花部分时间和他们一起过暑假，然后变得更亲密。)指出要和朋友一起度过暑假这样就能增进和朋友之间的关系，而且D项中的them指代的是前文的friends living in the same neighborhood，符合上下文语境。故选D项。
【20题详解】
空处位于段首，应用本段主题句。根据空后“The most important thing you can do in preparation for your first day is make sure you have all of the equipment you need.(为第一天工作做准备时，你能做的最重要的事情就是确保你有所有需要的装备。)可知本段主要讲的是要为开学做好学习用品方面的准备，所以空处主题句应该讲要准备好学习用品，A项Buy your school supplies.(购买学习用品。)指出在开学之初要购买学习用品，符合上下文语境。故选A项。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was a single parent of four small children. Money was always tight.
It was Christmas, and although there wasn't money for a lot of gifts, we planned to celebrate by holding parties with friends, driving downtown to see Christmas lights, having special dinners, and decorating our home. But the big excitement for the kids was the fun of Christmas shopping at them all. I have saved $120 for presents to be shared by all five of us.
The big day arrived and we started out early. I gave each of the four kids a twenty-dollar bill and reminded them to look for gifts about four dollars each.
Back in the car driving home, everyone was in high Christmas spirits, but my younger daughter, Ginger, was unusually quiet. I noticed she had only one small, flat bag with her. I could see enough through the plastic bag to tell that she had bought candy bars—fifty-cent candy bars! What did she do with that twenty-dollar bill I gave her I wanted to yell at her, but I didn’t say anything until we got home.

【答案】 I called her into my bedroom and asked her what she had done with the money. Ginger explained what happened.When she entered the supermarket she saw an old woman in rags standing outside in cold weather.There is no doubt that she was homeless and had a hard time.So she decided to buy something for the woman. At last, she bought her a coat with the money but she only had enough money left to buy candy bar for us.Once getting out of the supermarket,she found the woman and gave the coat to her.
The old woman was very moved. She expressed her great appreciation to Ginger.After hearing that, I felt a sense of pride swept through me.“What you did is right, Ginger.You are such a kind child that we are proud of.” I said. I told the whole story to the other kids,and they offered to share their gifts with Ginger.It was the special experience that made the kids realize sharing is important. I never felt so rich as I did that day.

What a day! I started at my new school this morning and had the best time. I made lots of new friends and really liked my teachers. I was nervous the night before, but I had no reason to be. Everyone was so friendly and polite. They made me feel at ease. It was like I’d been at the school for a hundred years!
The day started very early at 7：00 am. I had my breakfast down stairs with my mom. She could tell that I was very nervous. Mom kept asking me what was wrong. She told me I had nothing to worry about and that everyone was going to love me. If they didn’t love me, she would send them her way for a good talking to. I couldn't stop laughing.
My mom dropped me off at the school gate about five minutes before the bell. A little blonde (金发的) girl got dropped off at the same time and started waving(招手) at me. She ran over and told me her name was Abigail. She was very nice and we became close straight away. We spent all morning together and began to talk to another girl called Stacey. The three of us sat together in class all day and we even made our way home together! It went so quickly. Our teacher told us that tomorrow we would really start learning and developing new skills.

Should We Fear Maths
How good are you at maths Some people love the challenge of algebra (代数) or enjoy working out number puzzles. But many dread the moment when they have to deal with numbers and figures and feel a real sense of worry and confusion. It can seem depressing(令人沮丧), but this maths anxiety is perfectly normal, and you’re definitely not alone. And anyway, our worries and fears don’t necessarily reflect our ability.
Research has found that maths teachers who are nervous about teaching the subject can pass on their anxiety to the pupils, and girls maybe more likely to be affected. The Programme for International Student Assessment found around 31% of 15-and 16-year-olds across 34 countries said they got very nervous while doing maths problems, 33% said they got tense while doing maths homework, and nearly 60% said they worried maths classes would be difficult.
Psychologists (心理学家) have been trying to work out why mental arithmetic (心算) can bring us out in a sweat. That seed of fear may come from many sources, but some suggest that expressing your fears can loosen their hold on you, and encourage children to see a maths test as a challenge, not a threat. In fact, we need to think positively about maths and give it a second chance.
8. How to understand the underlined words in the paragraph one
A. You are very lonely in studying maths.
B You are not the only person that fears maths.
C. You don't have the ability to study maths.
D. You are not good at learning maths well.
9. Why do the numbers are mentioned in the paragraph two
A. To express the maths anxiety among students.
B. To introduce the difficulties of learning maths well.
C To emphasize the importance of learning maths.
D. To compare learning abilities between boys and girls.
10. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. The more you worry about maths, the stronger your ability will be.
B. Girls find it more difficult to solve maths problems.
C. It is normal for most people to have a lot of pressure on maths.
D. Maths teachers have nothing to do with students’ anxiety.
11. What do psychologists probably agree with
A. Pupils should learn mental arithmetic to overcome fears.
B. Only by expressing fears can people solve maths problems.
C. Maths tests can encourage children to challenge themselves.
D. People should take a positive attitude towards maths problems.
D
In America, after middle school comes high school, which includes grades 9 through 12.Students are required to take compulsory subjects like English, social studies, maths, science, and physical education.

I was a single parent of four small children. Money was always tight.
It was Christmas, and although there wasn't money for a lot of gifts, we planned to celebrate by holding parties with friends, driving downtown to see Christmas lights, having special dinners, and decorating our home. But the big excitement for the kids was the fun of Christmas shopping at them all. I have saved $120 for presents to be shared by all five of us.
The big day arrived and we started out early. I gave each of the four kids a twenty-dollar bill and reminded them to look for gifts about four dollars each.
Back in the car driving home, everyone was in high Christmas spirits, but my younger daughter, Ginger, was unusually quiet. I noticed she had only one small, flat bag with her. I could see enough through the plastic bag to tell that she had bought candy bars—fifty-cent candy bars! What did she do with that twenty-dollar bill I gave her I wanted to yell at her, but I didn’t say anything until we got home.
