Growing up, my older sister always told me that going to high school allowed me to have more fun. But on the night before the first day, going to sleep was difficult. I was up all night thinking about how the day would go. What if my friends aren’t in any of my classes What if I get made fun of What will people think of when they first see me
The next morning, as I started walking towards the gate of the school I had butterflies in my stomach. There were a lot of students. As I looked around, I started to notice the familiar (熟悉的) faces of my friends who went to primary school with me. For some reason, I would get very nervous when someone new got close to me.
The one thing I was most nervous about was walking in late to one of my classes. Guess what That was exactly what happened. Going to the first period was simple because luckily, other students were helping us find our classes. Not to mention, I ended up having that class with a couple of friends.
As I made my way down the halls to get to my second-period class we had about five minutes to get to our classes. Finally, I ended up getting lost and coming to class ten minutes after the bell had rung, which resulted in the class looking at me when I walked in. I felt self-conscious. Everyone had already taken their seats so I rushed to sit down as well. However, I had to sit with someone new. It took me a while to begin talking to him but once I did, things became easier because I was able to ask for help when needed.
In high school I was going to be meeting new people in unfamiliar places, getting used to a new environment, and receiving more responsibilities. But I’m still looking forward to it.
4. How did the author feel before his first day
A. He was too nervous to sleep. B. He missed his old friends badly.
C. He felt certain about his future life. D. He was worried about meeting new teachers.
5. What did the author do at the gate of the school

C. He asked for leave because of his illness. D. He saw his old friends in primary school.
6. What happened when the author was on his way to his first class

7. What does the underlined word “self-conscious” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Angry. B. Embarrassed. C. Excited. D. Comfortable.
C
Walking is the best form of exercise. It is good for the upper respiratory (与呼吸有关的) system and the legs. It helps us control our weight and blood sugar. Walking is also a good way to help you make more friends, bringing chances to see new things and meet new people. Personally, I try to walk at least 5 miles daily.
As well as walking, I also cycle around Xiamen. Cycling is great for weight loss and helps to build stamina (耐力). However, cycling does not allow for the same level of social contact as a walk. It is for this reason that I would strongly suggest that you try long-distance walking if you want to be physically healthy. I originally (最初) started walking around Xiamen because I didn’t have a car, but I soon started to enjoy the walking itself.
I have also made many friends during my walks. It’s not uncommon for my 5-mile walk to sometimes take as long as 2 or 3 hours, because I stop to chat with different shop owners along my route. These days, if I skip my walk for even one day, the people in the shops may want to know why I didn’t come.
I’ ll never forget the first time some people followed me when I was walking, and asked if it was okay for them to walk with me. I really didn’t know what to say, so I just replied that I didn’t mind. I have been invited for lunch, dinner and sometimes just to sit and drink tea with total strangers. There is nothing more pleasant than walking past a schoolyard and hearing all the kids say hello to me.
8. Why did the author have to take a walk at the very beginning
A. Because he wanted to build his body. B. Because he enjoyed walking.
C. Because he had no car. D. Because he wished to make friends.
9. The underlined word “skip” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to __________.
A. annoy B. quit C. revise D. arrange
10. What can be inferred from the passage
A. Cycling allows for no social contact. B. Walking is better than cycling.
C. To be healthy, it’s better to cycle. D. The author prefers walking to cycling.
11. Why did the author tell us his walking experience in the last two paragraphs
A. To share the unforgettable experience with us.
B. To show us the meaning of walking in social contact.
C. To tell us how to develop the habit of walking.
D. To explain to us why a usual walk took him as long as 2 or 3 hours.
D
Singapore’s tradition of eating out in places called hawker centres is now recognized by the United Nations for its cultural importance.
A hawker is a person who sells food or goods and advertises by shouting to people walking by on the street. Hawkers are an important part of Singaporean culture. Open-air eating areas where hawkers sell their goods in low price are very popular. Famous chefs, such as Anthony Bourdain and Gordon Ramsay have praised them.
On Wednesday, a specialized agency of the United Nations, UNESCO, added the city’s “hawker culture” to its Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Singapore sought to have hawker culture added to the list about two years ago. Now that it has been recognized, Singapore must provide a report every six years for UNESCO. The report must show efforts the city-state has made to save and support its hawker culture. “These centres serve as ‘community dining rooms’, where people from various backgrounds gather and share the experience of dining over breakfast, lunch and dinner,” UNESCO said.
In the 1970s, Singapore cleaned up its streets so the city moved street hawkers to new eating centres. These areas were part of an effort to improve the island. Now, the centres offer many different low-cost meals to local people and provide a pleasing social setting. The 2018 film Crazy Rich Asians showed its stars enjoying meals at a famous night market. Some sellers even received Michelin stars from a famous restaurant rating system for their meals costing only a few dollars.
But now the average age of the hawker in Singapore is 60 years old. Younger Singaporeans now want to work in offices. They are less interested in working in small restaurants. The COVID-19 pandemic (流行病) health crisis also hurt sales, preventing foreign visitors and locals from eating out.
12. What do we know about hawkers from paragraph 2
A. They are native Singaporeans.
B. They sell goods in the open air.
C. They like posting advertisements on the street.
D. They have good relationships with famous chefs.
13. Why is the film Crazy Rich Asians mentioned
A. To advertise the film.
B. To introduce the stars.
C. To show the popularity of hawker centres.
D. To explain a famous restaurant rating system.
14. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. The difficulties faced by hawker culture. B. The effect of the COVID-19 pandemic.
C. The future of hawker culture. D. The average age of hawkers.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Hawkers support cultural diversity in Singapore.
B. Singapore makes efforts to promote its hawker culture.
C. UNESCO recognizes Singapore’s low-cost food culture.
D. Singapore is preparing for the protection of traditional culture.

Walking is the best form of exercise. It is good for the upper respiratory (与呼吸有关的) system and the legs. It helps us control our weight and blood sugar. Walking is also a good way to help you make more friends, bringing chances to see new things and meet new people. Personally, I try to walk at least 5 miles daily.
As well as walking, I also cycle around Xiamen. Cycling is great for weight loss and helps to build stamina (耐力). However, cycling does not allow for the same level of social contact as a walk. It is for this reason that I would strongly suggest that you try long-distance walking if you want to be physically healthy. I originally (最初) started walking around Xiamen because I didn’t have a car, but I soon started to enjoy the walking itself.
I have also made many friends during my walks. It’s not uncommon for my 5-mile walk to sometimes take as long as 2 or 3 hours, because I stop to chat with different shop owners along my route. These days, if I skip my walk for even one day, the people in the shops may want to know why I didn’t come.
I’ ll never forget the first time some people followed me when I was walking, and asked if it was okay for them to walk with me. I really didn’t know what to say, so I just replied that I didn’t mind. I have been invited for lunch, dinner and sometimes just to sit and drink tea with total strangers. There is nothing more pleasant than walking past a schoolyard and hearing all the kids say hello to me.
8. Why did the author have to take a walk at the very beginning

10. What can be inferred from the passage
A. Cycling allows for no social contact. B. Walking is better than cycling.
C. To be healthy it’s better to cycle. D. The author prefers walking to cycling.
11. Why did the author tell us his walking experience in the last two paragraphs

Singapore’s tradition of eating out in places called hawker centres is now recognized by the United Nations for its cultural importance.
A hawker is a person who sells food or goods and advertises by shouting to people walking by on the street. Hawkers are an important part of Singaporean culture. Open-air eating areas where hawkers sell their goods in low price are very popular. Famous chefs, such as Anthony Bourdain and Gordon Ramsay have praised them.
On Wednesday, a specialized agency of the United Nations, UNESCO, added the city’s “hawker culture” to its Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Singapore sought to have hawker culture added to the list about two years ago. Now that it has been recognized, Singapore must provide a report every six years for UNESCO. The report must show efforts the city-state has made to save and support its hawker culture. “These centres serve as ‘community dining rooms’, where people from various backgrounds gather and share the experience of dining over breakfast, lunch and dinner,” UNESCO said.
In the 1970s, Singapore cleaned up its streets so the city moved street hawkers to new eating centres. These areas were part of an effort to improve the island. Now, the centres offer many different low-cost meals to local people and provide a pleasing social setting. The 2018 film Crazy Rich Asians showed its stars enjoying meals at a famous night market. Some sellers even received Michelin stars from a famous restaurant rating system for their meals costing only a few dollars.
But, now the average age of the hawker in Singapore is 60 years old. Younger Singaporeans now want to work in offices. They are less interested in working in small restaurants. The COVID-19 pandemic (流行病) health crisis also hurt sales, preventing foreign visitors and locals from eating out.
12. What do we know about hawkers from paragraph 2
A. They are native Singaporeans.
B. They sell goods in the open air.
C. They like posting advertisements on the street.
D. They have good relationships with famous chefs.
13. Why is the film Crazy Rich Asians mentioned
A. To advertise the film.
B. To introduce the stars.
C. To show the popularity of hawker centres.
D. To explain a famous restaurant rating system.
14. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. The difficulties faced by hawker culture. B. The effect of the COVID-19 pandemic.
C. The future of hawker culture. D. The average age of hawkers.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Hawkers support cultural diversity in Singapore.
B. Singapore makes efforts to promote its hawker culture.
C. UNESCO recognizes Singapore’s low-cost food culture.
D. Singapore is preparing for the protection of traditional culture.

【答案】One possible version:
How to Get Along with Your Parents
In our daily life, many students tend to ignore the relationship between themselves and their parents. They refuse to communicate with their parents, using the generation gap as an excuse. However, I don’t think this is a good way to handle the relationship, because our parents are people who care us heart and soul, and refusing communication may hurt them.
Here are some tips that I often use to deal with the relationship between myself and my parents. First, we often share our joys and sorrows with each other. Second, when I make complaints about them, they always listen to me carefully and make changes. Third, we often take part in some fun activities together, which makes our heart closer.

“Could we go to a shoe store, sir ” asked Timmy, I felt confused about his question, so I asked why.
Timmy replied, “We’d like to buy a pair of shoes for our Daddy so that he can go to work.”
In the shoe store, the shopkeeper asked what the boys wanted. Out came the brown paper. “We want a pair of work shoes to fit this foot,” they said.
Billy explained that it was their Daddy’s footprint. They had drawn it while he was asleep in a chair. The shopkeeper held the paper against a measuring(测量的)stick, and then walked away. Soon he came with an open box. “Will these do ” he asked.
Timmy and Billy held the shoes with great expectation. “How much do they cost ” asked Billy.

【答案】At that moment I looked at the shopkeeper and asked, “Can you give us a discount ” “Why did you ask for a discount ” asked the shopkeeper. I told the shopkeeper about the family situation of the two children and the idea that the two children wanted to buy shoes for their father. With tears in his eyes, the shopkeeper said, “I am touched that these two children are so considerate. As a reward for them, I decided to give the shoes for free.” Then he packed up the shoes and handed them to Timmy. Timmy took the shoes, dropped the $8 in his hand and ran out the door, saying, “We can’t take it for free. Thank you for your kindness. We’re very touched that you can give us a discount.” Seeing this scene, I also shed tears of emotion.
The boys went back home with the shoes happily. When they got home, the two boys couldn’t wait to call their father out of the room to try on the shoes, which was carefully selected for their father. Dad came out of the room, tried on the shoes, felt comfortable, and asked with a puzzled look, “Thank you so much my lovely children, but how did you know the size of my shoes ” The two boys pointed to the brown paper footprints and laughed and said that it told us. Dad stared at the footprints on the kraft paper and couldn’t say anything, just hugged the two considerate children. It says it all. This is true love, no words need be expressed, actions speak for themselves.
