【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。高一新生Adam Lin觉得高中比初中更让人愉快。
1.答案与解析:B 根据下文They will soon learn that... than in middle school.可知,高一新生初入高中,不了解(knowing)新的学习生活是什么样的,但很快他们对此就会有一个初步的概念——与初中相比,课程更难、人更多、成绩也更重要(matter)。
2.答案与解析:A 参见上题解析。
3.答案与解析:C 根据下文flexible(灵活的)with what we do in class和we can decide what to wear可知,Lin觉得在高中比在初中时更快乐(enjoyable)。
4.答案与解析:A 下文flexible teachers提示此空答案,老师们 (teachers)对课堂掌控比较灵活。
5.答案与解析:D 根据下文we can decide what to wear可知,学生们可以自由着装,因此可推断,Lin觉得高中管理不像初中那么严格(strict)。
6.答案与解析:A 上文While表示两种情况形成对比,因此可推断此空描述的是Lin高中生活不如意的方面。且下文I miss playing with my friends in PE class提示此空答案。
7.答案与解析:B 此空与上文elective形成对比,高中体育课属于选修课,而不再要求(required)必须上。
8.答案与解析:D 分析此空上下文语意关系可知,下文that was the time when I could relax是I miss playing with my friends in PE class的原因,故选because。
9.答案与解析:B 根据上文My classes can be hard sometimes可知,Lin的高中课程有时很难;且本段中Lin反复表明自己想念和朋友们一起相处的时光。因此,Lin在此处表达了内心的想法——想多些空闲(free)时间和朋友们在一起。
10.答案与解析:C 根据下文The campus was bigger than he had expected... direction of his previous(之前的)class.可知,本段描述的是高中校园太大,上课地点多变给Lin带来的困扰。因此,此空选direction合适,说明校园太大,Lin初入校园没有方向感。
11.答案与解析:C 本段中的the bathroom对本空有提示作用,洗手间(Bathrooms)离上课的地方太远,如果Lin在课间去了洗手间,下节课就会迟到(late)。
12.答案与解析:A 参见上题解析。
13.答案与解析:D 上文Lin介绍了校园太大、上课地方多变且互相距离远等情况。此处表达感受:喜欢学校的课,但是熟悉校园(campus)要花点时间。
14.答案与解析:C 下文Lin希望以高分毕业提示了此空的答案,与其他新生一样,他初入高中时对未来能达成(achieve)的目标满怀希望。
15.答案与解析:B Lin希望能以高分从高中毕业,并进入(attend)像麻省理工学院一样的大学学习他喜爱的工程学。
