The first week of September was a week that I had been expecting all summer. I didn’t want summer to end, but I was excited about going to high school for my first week.
When I got to school in the morning on the first day I realized how large the school was, and how many students went there. I ended up in the wrong classroom because of the size of the school. Luckily, a kind senior showed up and guided me to my homeroom before I was late. I was happy to see that in a class of unfamiliar (不熟悉的) faces, the only open seat was next to my good friend, Casey. My science teacher seemed like a good teacher. She was exciting and fun.
After finishing four periods without too much of a challenge, I didn’t feel too bad about ninth grade. However, the fifth period changed everything. I didn’t feel ready after all. My teacher’s name is Mr. Valassidis but he told us to call him Mr. V. Mr. V. told us that we would have to write 40 essays (文章) and read AP-level books such as The Odyssey this year. I love reading and writing, but come on, 40 ESSAYS AP-level books Now I was afraid.
The courses in high school seem like they’re going to get much harder, but they haven’t yet. Even though my classes look hard, they look really exciting too.
The first week passed quickly. Although a lot of things were overwhelming (令人不知所措的): the size of the campus, the crowds and the seniors, having a totally different experience than I had ever had before was really exciting. Now, I’m really happy about high school. I have lots of friends in my classes, I really like my teachers and I’m meeting new people.
4. How did the author feel when his high school life was about to start
A. Relaxed. B. Nervous. C. Frightened. D. Happy.
5. What happened to the author on his first day of high school

C. He was praised by Mr. V. D. He met Casey for the first time.
6. What made the author afraid

B. How his science teacher behaved.
C. The reading homework on the first day of high school.
D. What he was expected to do with his studies.

Handwritten Chinese characters can be beautiful. I still remember looking at Chinese and not understanding anything it said and yet feeling a strong attraction. In fact, some students start learning Chinese because of the characters. After having studied Chinese for a while, I realized that handwriting in Chinese takes a very long time to learn.
Living as we do in a digital era (数字时代) with smartphones and computers, most students sooner or later ask themnselves this question: Is it really necessary to learn how to write by hand in Chinese When using smartphones or computers, we can use phonetic input (语音输入) systems, which choose the characters we want for us as long as we can remember how they are pronounced. Since we enter different characters, we seldom need to be able to recognize the difference between individual (每个) characters in detail; the computer makes the right choices for us. Do we really need to write Chinese by hand at all
I think most people agree that you should learn to write at least some characters at some point as a student of Chinese, although not necessarily straight away and not necessarily all the characters that you can say. But unless you don’t care about written language at all, you should learn the basics of handwriting. Without it, it will be very hard to understand characters. You don’t need to be a calligraphy master, but you do need basic handwriting skills to do this. Simply looking at things is, as usual, a bad way of learning.
I think learning the most common 500 characters or so is a good idea for all students. If you actually want to write by hand, extend (扩大) that to 1,000. Then learn to handwrite characters outside of the 1,000 most common on a need-to-know basis.
8. What does the author think of Chinese characters
A. They attract some foreigners to learn Chinese.
B. They show the greatness of Chinese culture.
C. They are less communicative than English words.
D. They are not really that difficult.
9. What can we infer about characters in Paragraph 2
A. Characters are very difficult for foreigners to learn.
B. People believe learning to write characters is important.
C. Characters may disappear with the development of society.
D. People doubt the necessity of learning to write characters.
10. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Being a calligraphy master. B. Understanding characters.
C. Keeping a good learning habit. D. Learning basic handwriting skills.
11. What is the author’s attitude to learning to write characters in the digital age
A. Worried. B. Supportive. C. Surprised. D. Uncaring.
D
Paper is one of our oldest, simplest and most important inventions. But it also presents a danger to the world in two significant ways. First, the making of paper requires the loss of millions of trees each year. Between 2001 and 2019, the world lost 386 million hectares of forest. Of the trees that were cut down, 42% went to paper production. And worldwide use of paper is expected to double in the next 40 years. Clearly, the planet cannot sustain such a high rate of forest loss.
The second great problem with paper is what happens once it is no longer useful. A huge quantity of wastepaper ends up in dumps and landfills (垃圾填埋场), where it can produce harmful gases. Paper in landfills leads to the release (释放) of methane, a gas that is a significant contributor in global warming.
One simple solution can greatly reduce both of these problems: paper recycling. Paper is mainly made from cellulose (纤维素), which makes up the cell walls of trees and many other plants. Because of its structure, cellulose can be used repeatedly in papermaking. So far, trees are the only source of cellulose that can fill the massive demand for paper products. Therefore, recycling paper is simply one of the best ways to save trees.
Thanks to advances in processing, recycled paper isn’t the dull-colored stuff many of us are familiar with any more. It now can offer the same print performance as non-recycled paper.
Effective recycling requires a consistent effort. The way to begin is with education and understanding. Once enough people realize the need for recycling, more effective recycling systems can be carried out. The massive loss of trees affects everybody on earth. Everyone should do their part to recycle paper and encourage government and industries to do the same.
12. What does the author want to express in paragraph 1
A. Consequences resulting from forest loss.
B. The significance of paper in daily life.
C. The severe situation caused by papermaking
D. The disadvantages of current paper production.
13. Why is paper in landfills harmful
A. It releases smelly gases. B. It results in global climate change.
C. It pollutes the nearby land. D. It may lead to fire accidents.
14. What can we know about paper-recycling
A. The structure of cellulose makes it possible.
B. It produces cellulose to make more paper.
C. The color of recycled paper is different.
D. It produces cellulose without using trees.
15. What’s the purpose of this text
A. To introduce paper recycling technology. B. To stress the threat of global warming.
C. To appeal to people to recycle paper. D. To describe the considerable need for paper.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Although most games have winners and losers, the goal of sports is not to win every game. The real goals include getting exercises, having fun, and learning important social skills, like sportsmanship.
Good sportsmanship is all about respect. Good sports respect the other players on their team. They respect the players on opposing teams. They respect coaches and they also respect the referees (裁判) or other officials involved in their games. 16 They shout at their teammates and they talk back to coaches or referees.
Kids usually learn sportsmanship—good and bad—from the adults in their lives. 17 If parents and coaches show disrespect to other fans, referees, or each other, kids will likely act the same way on the field.
18 Some of them are very basic and easy to do, like shaking hands with other players before a game. Other examples may take a little more courage, such as acknowledging a great play made by the opposing team.
Learning good sportsmanship is important because it helps you develop an attitude of graciousness (礼貌) and respect that will carry over into all the other areas of your life! 19 Being a good sportsman in the classroom will eventually lead to being a good sportsman in the workplace.
So be a good sportsman in whatever you do! 20 When others see you acting in a way that makes it clear that winning isn’t the most important thing, you can move on to focusing on the important things, like having fun, getting exercise, and improving your skills.
A. If you’re a good sportsman on the field, you’ll also likely be a good sportsman in the classroom.
B. Starting as a good sportsman earlier will help you be a good sport as you get old.
C. we can be good sports by encouraging others but not laughing at them.
D. Players’ parents and coaches set examples that kids tend to follow.
E. The example you set can be a powerful teaching tool for others.
F. On the contrary, bad sportsmanship is all about disrespect.
G. Good sportsmanship can be shown in many ways

A Campus Cultural Festival
In order to enrich our school life and encourage students to take an active part in various cultural activities, a campus cultural festival was held on our campus last Friday.
There were a variety of activities such as singing English songs, history speeches, math competition and so on. Students selected from every class took part part in them. Besides, some teachers were invited to give talent shows, which were highly spoken of by all the audience. The cultural festival was so successful and meaningful that everyone enjoyed themselves greatly.
The rich and colorful activities of the cultural festival benefited us a lot. Not only did it provide us with a chance to show our talents, but also brought us great joy and reduced stress from our heavy school work.
