You may not know a lot of people when you start senior high school. Maybe your friends from junior high school are going to a different senior high school. Even if you know other freshmen (一年级学生 ), you still feel anxious that you don’t know any upperclassmen. How are you going to make friends among this sea of unknown faces
Most senior high schools hold the freshman orientation (迎新会) before school actually starts. It is helpful because you not only learn your way around the building but also get to meet some of your teachers and fellow freshmen. That way, when you show up on your first day of school, you may already recognize a few familiar faces.
When you talk to people at orientation, you’ll probably find that a lot of them are feeling just like you are. They’re all new to the school and don’t know what to expect. Talking about a common concern (关注) with your classmates can help you develop friendships.
The work in senior high school is something freshmen are probably worried about. It builds on what you learned in junior high school, giving you a more advanced (高深的) knowledge of many subjects. So you may find you have more work to do or that it’s a bit more challenging. If you ever find your work too difficult, teachers can give you extra help.
Senior high school also has more after-school activities than junior high school, such as clubs, music and theater groups and sports teams. This is a good time to explore your interests and try new things.
Junior high school taught you the basics of time management and social skills while providing you with a little extra support and guidance. Senior high school gives you the chance to learn how to be more independent and responsible.
4. How do the freshmen usually feel on their first day of senior high school
A. Proud. B. Curious. C. Excited. D. Nervous.
5. What are freshmen probably worried about
A. The ability to make friends. B. The learning task.
C. The freshman orientation. D. The relationship with teachers.
6. What do after-school activities mainly help students to do
A. Develop their interests. B. Develop friendships.
C. Build up their strength. D. Improve their learning ability.
7. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. What you’ll learn in senior high school.
B. What you learned in junior high school.
C. The difference between junior high school and senior high school.
D. The importance of being more independent and responsible.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C
【解析】

细节理解题。根据第一段“Even if you know other freshmen (一年级学生 ), you still feel anxious that you don’t know any upperclassmen.(即使你认识其他一年级学生，你仍然会因为不认识高年级学生而感到焦虑)”可知，新生第一天来到学校时通常感到紧张。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The work in senior high school is something freshmen are probably worried about.(高中的功课可能是一年级学生担心的事情)”可知，高中的学习任务可能是新生们担心的事情。故选B。

【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Junior high school taught you the basics of time management and social skills while providing you with a little extra support and guidance. Senior high school gives you the chance to learn how to be more independent and responsible.(初中教会了你时间管理和社交技能的基础知识，同时也为你提供了一些额外的支持和指导。高中给了你学习如何更独立和负责任的机会)”可知，最后一段主要是关于初中和高中的区别的。故选C。

You can study the English language for years and still not understand a native speaker of English when you meet one. Many language leaners know that native speakers say a lot of things that you can’t find in a dictionary. Well, here’s a secret for you: A lot of British people can’t understand each other either!
Across the UK, a number of regions have different dialects—that is, they have their own unique vocabulary and grammatical phrases. There are many different accents in London, because it is not just where a person is born in the UK that decides their accent. Language and accents also vary across social class and level of education. Hence the recent rise of a new accent coined at the end of the 20th century—“Multicultural London English”.
Other factors are also important in the invention of new accents and ways of speaking. These include the influence of people from different ethnic backgrounds and different age groups, too.
“Yoof culture” is an example. The word “yoof” is a slang spelling of “youth”. Young people are creating their own language, concepts and identity. By using words that their parents don’t understand, children can talk about things that their parents might not approve of. For example, instead of saying something like “That’s good!” or “I understand”, yoof will use a single adjective like “Safe!”, or “Sorted!” Besides, Yoof would use “kind-a-thing,” or “sort-a-thing” to replace “if you understand what I’m saying”. In this way, they are starting to find freedom, independence and self-expression.
As learners of English, we may wonder how well we can talk to a native speaker, but perhaps we should worry less about this. Research commissioned by the British Council shows that 94 percent of the English spoken in the world today is spoken among non-native speakers of the language. In fact, when we think about “international English”, there is no such thing as a native or non-native speaker. The UK no longer owns the English language.
8. What’s the function of Paragraph 1
A. To share a story. B. To make a comparision.
C. To show the author’s experience. D. To introduce the topic.
9. Which of the following statements about “Multicultural London English” is TRUE
A. It’s now spoken by people around the world.
B. It was invented by Londoners in the 1900s.
C. It’s a modern accent that crosses educational divides.
D. It’s a dialect specific to a particular social class.
10. What does “Sorted!” mean in “yoof culture”
A. Watch out. B. I see. C. My pleasure. D. Hurry up.
11. What does the author want to tell us
A. Don’t worry if you cannot understand native speakers.
B. Learning English well is very easy.
C. Languages are always changing.
D. It is important to communicate with a native speaker.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章说明了许多人听不懂母语人士说的英语，并分析其原因。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“ You can study the English language for years and still not understand a native speaker of English when you meet one. Many language leaners know that native speakers say a lot of things that you can’t find in a dictionary. (你可以学习英语多年，但当你遇到一个以英语为母语的人时，你仍然听不懂。许多学习语言的人都知道，母语人士说的很多东西你在字典里找不到。)”结合第二段首句“ Across the UK, a number of regions have different dialects—that is, they have their own unique vocabulary and grammatical phrases.(在英国，许多地区都有不同的方言，也就是说，他们有自己独特的词汇和语法短语。)”以及下文内容介绍母语人士讲的英语听不懂的原因，可推断，本段的作用是引入文章的话题。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“There are many different accents in London, because it is not just where a person is born in the UK that decides their accent. Language and accents also vary across social class and level of education. Hence the recent rise of a new accent coined at the end of the 20th century—‘Multicultural London English’.( 伦敦有很多不同的口音，因为一个人的口音不仅仅是由他在英国的出生地决定的，语言和口音也因社会阶层和教育水平而异。因此，最近兴起了一种20世纪末创造的新口音——‘多元文化伦敦英语’。)”可知，“多元文化的伦敦英语” 是一种跨越教育鸿沟的现代口音。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“For example, instead of saying something like ‘That’s good!’ or ‘I understand’, yoof will use a single adjective like ‘Safe!’, or ‘Sorted!’(例如，代替说‘那很好!’或‘我明白’时，年轻人会使用一个形容词，比如‘Safe!’或‘Sorted!’)”可知，“Sorted!”在“yoof(年轻人)文化”中是“我明白”的意思。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As learners of English, we may wonder how well we can talk to a native speaker, but perhaps we should worry less about this. Research commissioned by the British Council shows that 94 percent of the English spoken in the world today is spoken among non-native speakers of the language. In fact, when we think about ‘international English’, there is no such thing as a native or non-native speaker. The UK no longer owns the English language. (作为英语学习者，我们可能想知道我们能和以英语为母语的人交谈得多好，但也许我们不必担心这一点。英国文化协会委托进行的一项研究表明，当今世界上94%的英语使用者都是非英语母语者。事实上，当我们想到‘国际英语’时，并不存在母语人士或非母语人士之分。英国不再拥有英语。)”可知，作者想告诉我们如果你听不懂母语人士的话，不要担心。故选A项。

Wood stork, which was on the brink of extinction in 1984, has recovered enough in Florida and other Southern states. The American wildlife officials proposed removing the waterfowl (水禽) from the endangered species list.
This symbolic species, which is the only stork native to North America, has rebounded (反弹) because dedicated partners in the southeast have worked tirelessly to restore ecosystems that support it. In addition, the wood stork has increased its range in coastal areas. The birds have adapted to new nesting areas, tripling the number of colonies across their range from 29 to 99 in recent years.
Credit goes mainly to the wildlife protections provided by the Endangered Species Act(ESA), which can impose restrictions on a variety of activities in areas where such species are, located, such as development, mining and oil drilling. The act saved the wood stork and it helped; preserve and rebuild vital habitats throughout the southeast, which has improved water quality and benefited countless other species who call the area home. The Endangered Species Act has saved 99% of the species that have been on the list since 1973, with 100 types of plants and animals delisted because they have recovered or are at least stable.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said that restoration of the wood stork’s habitat, especially in the Florida Everglades and adjacent Big Cypress National Preserve, led to a, sharp increase in breeding pairs. Those numbers had shrunk to just 5,000 pairs in 1984, whereas there are more than 10,000 pairs today.
“The proposed delisting of the wood stork is a significant milestone and a remarkable, achievement of the hard work by federal agencies, state and local governments, tribes, conservation organizations, and private citizens in protecting and restoring our most at-risk species,” Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said.
If the wood stork is delisted, officials said it would remain protected by other laws including the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Clean Water Act. A monitoring plan, would be put in place for at least five years to ensure the stork population remains stable.
12. What can be inferred about the wood stork from the text
A. Its population is increasing. B. It has already died out.
C. It is widely distributed worldwide. D. It is the most endangered species.
13. What contribute mostly to recovering the population of the wood stork
A. Charity organizations. B. Federal agencies.
C. Protections of the ESA. D. Local companies.
14. What is Deb Haaland’s attitude to the delisting of the wood stork
A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Indifferent. D. Positive.
15. What is the best title of the text
A. Effect of the Big Cypress National Preserve Counts
B. Saving of the Endangered Wood Stork Progresses
C. Efforts to Restore the Wildlife Habitat Pay Off
D. Protection of American Native Species Works
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了木鹳由于保护，种群数量增加了两倍，这主要归功于《濒危物种法案》提供的野生动物保护。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The birds have adapted to new nesting areas, tripling the number of colonies across their range from 29 to 99 in recent years.(这些鸟已经适应了新的筑巢区域，近年来，它们的种群数量增加了两倍，从29个增加到99个)”可推知，木鹳的数量在增长。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Credit goes mainly to the wildlife protections provided by the Endangered Species Act(ESA), which can impose restrictions on a variety of activities in areas where such species are, located, such as development, mining and oil drilling. The act saved the wood stork and it helped; preserve and rebuild vital habitats throughout the southeast, which has improved water quality and benefited countless other species who call the area home. The Endangered Species Act has saved 99% of the species that have been on the list since 1973, with 100 types of plants and animals delisted because they have recovered or are at least stable.(这主要归功于《濒危物种法案》（ESA）提供的野生动物保护，该法案可以对这些物种所在地区的各种活动施加限制，例如开发、采矿和石油钻探。这一举动救了木鹳，也起了作用；保护和重建整个东南部的重要栖息地，这改善了水质，并使无数以该地区为家的其他物种受益。自1973年以来，《濒危物种法案》拯救了99%的濒危物种，其中100种动植物因恢复或至少稳定而被除名)”可知，ESA的保护最有助于恢复木鹳的数量。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““The proposed delisting of the wood stork is a significant milestone and a remarkable, achievement of the hard work by federal agencies, state and local governments, tribes, conservation organizations, and private citizens in protecting and restoring our most at-risk species,” Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said.(美国内政部长Deb Haaland说：“拟议中的木鹳摘牌是联邦机构、州和地方政府、部落、保护组织和普通公民为保护和恢复我们最濒危的物种所做的辛勤工作的一个重要里程碑，也是一个了不起的成就。”)”可推知，Deb Haaland对木鹳被摘牌持积极态度。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Wood stork, which was on the brink of extinction in 1984, has recovered enough in Florida and other Southern states. The American wildlife officials proposed removing the waterfowl (水禽) from the endangered species list. (1984年濒临灭绝的木鹳，在佛罗里达州和其他南方州已经恢复到足够的数量。美国野生动物官员建议将水禽从濒危物种名单中删除)”结合文章主要说明了木鹳由于保护，种群数量增加了两倍，这主要归功于《濒危物种法案》提供的野生动物保护。可知，B选项“拯救濒危木鹳的进展”最符合文章标题。故选B。

【16题详解】
上文“Making friends in community college is a bit trickier than in four-year schools in some cases. Students don’t typically dorm at community colleges, so there isn’t always a shared living environment.(在某些情况下，在社区大学交朋友比在四年制大学要棘手一些。学生通常不住在社区大学，所以并不总是有一个共享的生活环境。)”提出在社区大学难交到朋友，下文“Here’s a look at how to make friends at a community college.(下面我们来看看如何在社区大学交朋友。)”却在讲在社区大学难交朋友的方法，上下文有转折关系。F项“然而，这并不意味着没有机会”承上启下，引出下文。故选F项。

本段小标题“Get involved on campus (参与校园活动)”说明的是要参与校园活动，就有交友机会，因此C项“通过参加校园活动，你可以扩大你的社交圈，结交新朋友”符合语境，故选C。
【18题详解】
下文“Use these assignments as an opportunity to collaborate with classmates and build relationships. (利用这些作业作为与同学合作和建立关系的机会。)”说明通过与他人合作能够更好地了解他们，就有可能建立长久的友谊，因而，团队项目是非常好的机会。因此A项“利用团队项目”概括段意，故选A。
【19题详解】
上文“Be friendly and approachable (友善以及平易近人)”说明要与人为善，因此D项“简单的微笑或问候对营造友好的氛围有很大帮助”符合语境，故选D。

下文“You can start with your pal by heading over to your school’s gym or fit-ness center and try meeting new people there.(你可以和你的朋友一起去学校的健身房或健身中心，尝试在那里结识新朋友。)”可知，要找朋友一起锻炼，是对G项“给自己找一个运动伙伴会帮助你变得更积极”信息的承接与说明。故选G。

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。
Single mother Krystal works hard to provide daily necessities for her kid. They may not have many material things. But love is clearly in no short supply.
Krystal was having a particularly tough time making ends meet. The bike she rode to work broke and couldn’t be used. But she couldn’t afford a new one. So she had to walk to work, spending an extra hour on the way. Once in a while, she would wonder whether there was hope in life. Her son, 13-year-old William Preston, couldn’t help but notice.
Seeing his mother work so hard to earn money, William, the sweet young man, was always helping his mother with housework. He didn’t want to see his mom walking to work every day. So, he decided he was going to do whatever it took to buy his mom another bike.
William saw on YouTube that a boy bought his mom a bike and then surprised her with it. He also wanted to do that. William came across a cheap used bike on sale on Facebook. And he knew what he needed to do to help out his struggling mom.
In fact, the 13-year-old has been doing yard work for people in his community to make some money. So, he continued to work hard and save money, which was impressive enough for someone his age. But William took it one step further.
Back in his own room, William was staring at the big box of toys that his relatives and friends had bought him as gifts. He treasured the toys. He spent most of his spare time playing with them. Among them was the game player Xbox, his most prized possession (财产). When his mother called him to have supper, he had an idea.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
After school, he brought his Xbox to a second-hand shop nearby. When asked why he wanted to sell the game player, William told the shopkeeper about his idea. The shopkeeper was impressed by the considerate boy and bought the game player at a relatively higher price. With this money in his pocket, William figured out that he needed to do yard work for one more week to get enough money for the bike. Day after day, the money in his pocket increased. On the seventh day, he finally managed to save enough money.
With the money he had saved, William bought the bike on Facebook. When Krystal came back from work with tired body, she was surprised to see a bike in the house. Learning what William had done for her, tears welled up in her eyes. She gave William a big hug, saying, “I love you, my dear son. Thank you so much.” Krystal shared their story on YouTube, “When I was in a tough time, my son William came here. His act of kindness has helped restore my hope for the future.”

You may not know a lot of people when you start senior high school. Maybe your friends from junior high school are going to a different senior high school. Even if you know other freshmen (一年级学生 ), you still feel anxious that you don’t know any upperclassmen. How are you going to make friends among this sea of unknown faces
Most senior high schools hold the freshman orientation (迎新会) before school actually starts. It is helpful because you not only learn your way around the building but also get to meet some of your teachers and fellow freshmen. That way, when you show up on your first day of school, you may already recognize a few familiar faces.
When you talk to people at orientation, you’ll probably find that a lot of them are feeling just like you are. They’re all new to the school and don’t know what to expect. Talking about a common concern (关注) with your classmates can help you develop friendships.
The work in senior high school is something freshmen are probably worried about. It builds on what you learned in junior high school, giving you a more advanced (高深的) knowledge of many subjects. So you may find you have more work to do or that it’s a bit more challenging. If you ever find your work too difficult, teachers can give you extra help.
Senior high school also has more after-school activities than junior high school, such as clubs, music and theater groups and sports teams. This is a good time to explore your interests and try new things.
Junior high school taught you the basics of time management and social skills while providing you with a little extra support and guidance. Senior high school gives you the chance to learn how to be more independent and responsible.
4. How do the freshmen usually feel on their first day of senior high school
A. Proud. B. Curious. C. Excited. D. Nervous.
5. What are freshmen probably worried about
A. The ability to make friends. B. The learning task.
C. The freshman orientation. D. The relationship with teachers.
6. What do after-school activities mainly help students to do
A. Develop their interests. B. Develop friendships.
C. Build up their strength. D. Improve their learning ability.
7. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. What you’ll learn in senior high school.
B. What you learned in junior high school.
C. The difference between junior high school and senior high school.
D. The importance of being more independent and responsible.
C
You can study the English language for years and still not understand a native speaker of English when you meet one. Many language leaners know that native speakers say a lot of things that you can’t find in a dictionary. Well, here’s a secret for you: A lot of British people can’t understand each other either!
Across the UK, a number of regions have different dialects—that is, they have their own unique vocabulary and grammatical phrases. There are many different accents in London, because it is not just where a person is born in the UK that decides their accent. Language and accents also vary across social class and level of education. Hence the recent rise of a new accent coined at the end of the 20th century—“Multicultural London English”.
Other factors are also important in the invention of new accents and ways of speaking. These include the influence of people from different ethnic backgrounds and different age groups, too.
“Yoof culture” is an example. The word “yoof” is a slang spelling of “youth”. Young people are creating their own language, concepts and identity. By using words that their parents don’t understand, children can talk about things that their parents might not approve of. For example, instead of saying something like “That’s good!” or “I understand”, yoof will use a single adjective like “Safe!”, or “Sorted!” Besides, Yoof would use “kind-a-thing,” or “sort-a-thing” to replace “if you understand what I’m saying”. In this way, they are starting to find freedom, independence and self-expression.
As learners of English, we may wonder how well we can talk to a native speaker, but perhaps we should worry less about this. Research commissioned by the British Council shows that 94 percent of the English spoken in the world today is spoken among non-native speakers of the language. In fact, when we think about “international English”, there is no such thing as a native or non-native speaker. The UK no longer owns the English language.
8. What’s the function of Paragraph 1
A. To share a story. B. To make a comparision.
C. To show the author’s experience. D. To introduce the topic.
9. Which of the following statements about “Multicultural London English” is TRUE
A. It’s now spoken by people around the world.
B. It was invented by Londoners in the 1900s.
C. It’s a modern accent that crosses educational divides.
D. It’s a dialect specific to a particular social class.
10. What does “Sorted!” mean in “yoof culture”
A. Watch out. B. I see. C. My pleasure. D. Hurry up.
11. What does the author want to tell us
A. Don’t worry if you cannot understand native speakers.
B. Learning English well is very easy.
C. Languages are always changing.
D. It is important to communicate with a native speaker.
D
Wood stork, which was on the brink of extinction in 1984, has recovered enough in Florida and other Southern states. The American wildlife officials proposed removing the waterfowl (水禽) from the endangered species list.
This symbolic species, which is the only stork native to North America, has rebounded (反弹) because dedicated partners in the southeast have worked tirelessly to restore ecosystems that support it. In addition, the wood stork has increased its range in coastal areas. The birds have adapted to new nesting areas, tripling the number of colonies across their range from 29 to 99 in recent years.
Credit goes mainly to the wildlife protections provided by the Endangered Species Act(ESA), which can impose restrictions on a variety of activities in areas where such species are, located, such as development, mining and oil drilling. The act saved the wood stork and it helped; preserve and rebuild vital habitats throughout the southeast, which has improved water quality and benefited countless other species who call the area home. The Endangered Species Act has saved 99% of the species that have been on the list since 1973, with 100 types of plants and animals delisted because they have recovered or are at least stable.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said that restoration of the wood stork’s habitat especially in the Florida Everglades and adjacent Big Cypress National Preserve, led to a, sharp increase in breeding pairs. Those numbers had shrunk to just 5,000 pairs in 1984, whereas there are more than 10,000 pairs today.
“The proposed delisting of the wood stork is a significant milestone and a remarkable, achievement of the hard work by federal agencies, state and local governments, tribes, conservation organizations, and private citizens in protecting and restoring our most at-risk species,” Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said.
If the wood stork is delisted, officials said it would remain protected by other laws including the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Clean Water Act. A monitoring plan, would be put in place for at least five years to ensure the stork population remains stable.
12. What can be inferred about the wood stork from the text
A Its population is increasing. B. It has already died out.
C. It is widely distributed worldwide. D. It is the most endangered species.
13. What contribute mostly to recovering the population of the wood stork
A. Charity organizations. B. Federal agencies.
C. Protections of the ESA. D. Local companies.
14. What is Deb Haaland’s attitude to the delisting of the wood stork
A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Indifferent. D. Positive.
15. What is the best title of the text
A. Effect of the Big Cypress National Preserve Counts
B. Saving of the Endangered Wood Stork Progresses
C. Efforts to Restore the Wildlife Habitat Pay Off
D. Protection of American Native Species Works

Single mother Krystal works hard to provide daily necessities for her kid. They may not have many material things. But love is clearly in no short supply.
Krystal was having a particularly tough time making ends meet. The bike she rode to work broke and couldn’t be used. But she couldn’t afford a new one. So she had to walk to work, spending an extra hour on the way. Once in a while, she would wonder whether there was hope in life. Her son, 13-year-old William Preston, couldn’t help but notice.
Seeing his mother work so hard to earn money, William, the sweet young man, was always helping his mother with housework. He didn’t want to see his mom walking to work every day. So, he decided he was going to do whatever it took to buy his mom another bike.
William saw on YouTube that a boy bought his mom a bike and then surprised her with it. He also wanted to do that. William came across a cheap used bike on sale on Facebook. And he knew what he needed to do to help out his struggling mom.
In fact, the 13-year-old has been doing yard work for people in his community to make some money. So, he continued to work hard and save money, which was impressive enough for someone his age. But William took it one step further.
Back in his own room, William was staring at the big box of toys that his relatives and friends had bought him as gifts. He treasured the toys. He spent most of his spare time playing with them. Among them was the game player Xbox, his most prized possession (财产). When his mother called him to have supper, he had an idea.
