Sharon,Aged 22
The most important thing to keep in mind when going into senior high is to be yourself. Besides,I don’t know what your middle school was like, but high school teachers will not care about things such as how much homework you already have in one night. It’s best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to.
Frank,Aged 21
I think almost every kid feels both nervous and excited before their first day. You will probably love it. I know I did.You should join in some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck!
David,Aged 19
I’m not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening.But you’ll get used to it. Don’t be afraid of anyone; upperclassmen will pick on you more if you let them know you’re afraid. Just take it easy. Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly. After the first week it’s really not bad at all. Don’t worry.
Eddie,Aged 20
When I started high school I was really nervous too, especially since I had been home-schooled all through middle school and didn’t really know anyone. I suppose the best advice would be to just relax. The first couple of days can be a little bit hard, but things will become easier before you know it.
21.What can we infer from Sharon’s words about high school
A.Teachers are quite strict. B.Students often stay up at night.
C.Teachers provide little care for students. D.Students should make good use of their time.
22.Who mentions the importance of friends
A.David. B.Frank. C.Sharon. D.Eddie.
23.How did Eddie feel on his first day of high school
A.Excited. B.Worried. C.Bored. D.Relaxed.

Two years ago,Holmes participated in Back to School Bash. He was holding down two jobs at the time—one with the city’s public works department, the other as a barber. Saturday was his busiest hair-cutting day, but he chose to donate his time and give free haircuts to unfortunate kids so they’d look neat on that first day of classes. But then he had a light bulb moment: “The kids should earn their free haircut by having to read a book to me,” Holmes said.
The idea was so popular that he continued it for the next two years.Boys from five to ten years old would grab a favorite book,settle into the barber chair,and read aloud while Holmes was doing their hair.If they were puzzled over a word,Holmes was there to help.After the haircut,they’d review the book,from the characters and vocabulary to the themes—just like in school,only more fun.Holmes,who is married and has two sons,recognizes that not every parent has the time to read with their kids.
Holmes admits he, too, benefits from the process.“ There was this seven-year-old who struggled through his book,stuttering(口吃) over words even though he didn’t have a stutter,” said Holmes. He had the boy take the book home and practice. When the child came back a few days later, “He read it with no problems. That inspires me.”
Holmes and his family have recently moved to a Chicago suburb.When they get settled, he plans to take up his role as the Storybook Barber.“Although the world today is with guns and violence,” he says,“it’s a safe heaven for the kids, to come to the barbershop and read books.”
24.What do we know about Holmes two years ago
A.He had only one job. B.He earned a lot as a barber.
C.He offered free haircuts to the poor kids. D.He was the organizer of Back to School Bash.
25.The example in paragraph 3 mainly proves that .
A.Holmes is very strict with the kids B.Holmes also learns a lot from the kids
C.being a fluent reader needs plenty of practice D.many kids have trouble in reading a storybook
26.What can we learn from the last paragraph
A.Holmes is dissatisfied with the world today.
B.Holmes’ barbershop will have some changes.
C.Holmes’ barbershop has won great popularity.
D.Holmes will continue to be a Storybook Barber.
27.What is the best title for the text
A.The Storybook Barber B.Back to School Bash
C.Reading Counts a Lot D.Care About the Kids
C
There are so many expressions in American English that sound good but actually are not.
"Face the music" is a good example. When someone says they have to face the music, it does not mean they are going to a musical show or a concert. To "face the music" means accepting the bad results of behavior.
Imagine a friend asks you to take care of her beautiful red sports car. She gives you the keys and says, "Thanks so much for watching my car while I'm away. But please do not drive it. It is a very fast car and you are not on the insurance(保险)." But you do not listen. You want to show it to some friends and pretend(假装) the car is yours. So, you drive it around town one night. As bad luck would have it, you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign. The damage is serious. When your friend returns, you must tell her what you have done and "face the music". The "music" here is the result of your behavior. It could be losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her sports car or both. Whatever the "music" is, you must face it.
There are other American expressions that mean the same as "face the music".
"Take your medicine" means accepting the results of something bad you have done. And if someone says, "You made your bed. Now lie in it." He means you created a bad situation and now you will experience the results, or as we say in American spoken English, you must deal with it!
"Pay the piper" also means the same as "face the music''. But that expression has its own very interesting beginning. We will talk about that in the next Words and Their Stories.
28. What's the main idea of this passage
A. To invite a friend to go to a musical performance. B. To tell people how to deal with a bad situation.
C. To give people a lesson on an action. D. To introduce some expressions.
29. Which action belongs to "take your medicine"
A. You broke the traffic rules and should get a fine(罚款).
B. You worked hard but failed in the exam.
C. You caught a cold and took some medicine.
D. You moved to a new city and lost touch with your old friends.
30. Which of the following expressions doesn't have the same meaning with the others
A. Face the music. B. Take your medicine. C. Make your bed. D. Pay the piper.
31. The next programme may talk about _____.
A. other words and their stories B. the beginning of "pay the piper"
C. the wider use of "face the music" D. an example of "take your medicine"
D
Few things are more satisfying than sleeping late on weekends.But though the extra sleep may improve your mood, it does not appear to improve your health. A new study shows that so-called “recovery sleep” cannot reset the body clock and may actually lead to some serious health problems.
Christopher Depner, an assistant professor at the Department of Integrative Physiology of the University of Colorado Boulder, said,“Sleep loss can influence a range of physiological systems. It can increase our risk of high blood pressure and heart disease, it can cause weight gain, and it can increase our risk of diabetes(糖尿病).”
In the study, Depner and his colleagues divided the volunteers into three groups. One group was allowed to get a full night’s sleep. The next was kept to just five hours each night. And the third group went back and forth,limited to five hours of shut-eye during the weekdays, but allowed as much sleep as they wanted on the weekend.
“We found that a loss of sleep leads to a sharp increase in snacking.But even more surprising,sleeping on the weekend doesn’t help—and even makes things worse,” said Depner.“After the weekend, when they went back to getting inadequate sleep during the work or school week, their liver and muscle insulin (胰岛素) sensitivity or blood sugar regulation was reduced. And this is not something we found in people who had long-term inadequacy sleep schedules. So it’s possible that this is a worsening of the body’s ability to regulate blood sugar for these specific tissues after the weekend.”
So make a date with a pillow. And trade the sweets for sweet dreams.
What effect does sleep loss have on people
A.It results in changes in their moods. B.It does harm to the body clock.
C.It damages the liver severely. D.It makes people become heavier.
33. What do we know about the volunteers in the second group
A.They were allowed to have the least sleep in a week.
B.They could have as much sleep as possible on weekends.
C.Their liver or muscle insulin sensitivity was reduced.
D.Their ability to regulate blood sugar was found worsened.
34. What does the author advise readers to do according to the text
A.To sleep extra hours on weekends. B.To balance their work and sleep.
C.To trade some sweets as possible. D.To get enough sleep on weekdays.
35. From which part of a website is the text probably taken
A.Culture. B.Health. C.Sci-tech. D.Fashion.

【语篇解读】这是一篇应用文。短文中的四个人回忆了自己刚刚上高中时的情形,并对此话题发表了自己的看法。
21.答案D 解析:推理判断题。由Sharon,Aged 22中的最后一句“It’s best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to.”可知,最好是学会处理事情,明智地管理你的时间,这样你就能完成你需要做的一切。所以我们能从Sharon关于高中的话语中推断出学生应该充分地利用好时间。故D项正确。
22.答案A 解析:细节理解题。由David,Aged 19中的第六句“Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly.”可知,结交一些朋友并和他们融洽地相处会非常有助于你快速适应高中生活。所以David提到了交朋友的重要性。故A项正确。
23.答案:B解析:细节理解题。由Eddie,Aged 20中的第一句 “When I started high school I was really nervous too...”可知,Eddie在高中的第一天感觉焦虑、紧张。故B项正确。
阅读理解B
本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了Holmes周六为贫穷的小孩子免费理发的故事。作为一名理发师,Holmes做了一件非常有意义的事情,那就是要求贫穷孩子为他读一本书,他就免费为其理发。孩子们通过他的活动受益匪浅,他也收获很大。
24.C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Two years ago,Holmes participated in Back to School Bash....free haircuts to unfortunate kids so they’d look neat on that first day of classes.”可知,两年前,Holmes为贫困的孩子们免费理发。故选C项。
25.B 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Holmes admits he,too,benefits from the process.”可知,Holmes也从孩子们身上获益,学到了很多东西。故选B项。
26.D 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“When they get settled,he plans to take up his role as the Storybook Barber.”可知,Holmes将继续担任听故事的理发师。故选D项。
27.A 主旨大意题。根据文章大意可知,Holmes要求贫穷孩子为他读一本书,来换取免费理发,他成了一个听故事的理发师,结合文章最后一段中的“When they get settled,he plans to take up his role as the Storybook Barber.”可知,The Storybook Barber(听故事的理发师)是文章的主线,也是文章的最佳标题。故选A项。
阅读理解C
28.D 主旨大意题。根据首段There are so many expressions in American English that sound good but actually are not.可知,文章主要介绍了美式英语中许多听起来很好,但其实真实含义并非如此的表达。故本文主要介绍了一些表达。
29.A 推理判断题。根据第五段中"Take your medicine" means accepting the results of something bad you have done.可知, "take your medicine"的意思是接受你所做的坏事的结果。四个选项所给的例子中A项You broke the traffic rules and were liable to a fine.(你违反了交通规则,须付罚金。)和“take your medicine”的意思相符。B项“你努力学习但考试不及格。”、C项“你感冒了,吃了些药。”和D项“你搬到了新城市,失去了跟老朋友的联系。”都不是接受做的坏事所造成的结果,和“take your medicine”的意思不符。
30.C 细节理解题。文中对四个选项的意思分别进行了解释,pay the piper和take your medicine都是face the music的同义短语,意思是接受自己的(不好的)行为的(不好的)结果,根据第五段中"You made your bed. Now lie in it." He means you created a bad situation and now you will experience the results, or as we say in American spoken English, you must deal with it!可知, make your bed的意思是制造了一个糟糕的局面,所以make your bed与其他几个短语意思不同,故选C项。
31.B 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段主要叙述的是pay the piper这个短语有一个很有意思的开端并根据最后一句We will talk about that in the next Words and Their Stories.可知,下一个节目要讲的是pay the piper的开端。
