嗨!我叫亚当,是一名高中新生。从初中过渡到高中真是一项巨大的挑战。第一周我就有点迷茫。
首先,我得非常认真地考虑自己选什么课程。学校的指导老师帮我选择了适合我的课程:数学、英语、化学、世界史和中文。我知道中文是一门非常难学的语言,但我希望在毕业时能说得很流利。我的指导老师建议我选修高级文学,因为我喜欢英语而且成绩不错。
我还得选择一些课外活动。我想参加校足球队,但教练说我踢得不够好。很显然,我并不高兴,但我不会就此放弃。我会找到一个自我提升的方法,以便自己明年能加入球队。不过,我还是参
加了一个志愿者社团。每周三,我们会在食品救济站里干活,把食物分发给社区里的无家可归者。
我知道作为高中生我得更加努力地学习,学会习惯承担更多的责任。我有点儿担心在高级课程上无法跟上其他学生,而且要适应所有的家庭作业也是很困难的。然而,我还是很高兴来到这里。努力学习并不总是有趣的,但我会为未来上大学或是任何其他的事情做好充分准备。

The world could be one step closer to quick and inexpensive Ebola detection thanks to a teenager from Connecticut.
Olivia Hallisey,a junior at Greenwich High School,was awarded $50,000 in the Google Science Fair for her new method that detects Ebola,a virus that causes bleeding from different parts of the body and usually causes death.Olivia’s method is to ask patients to put their saliva (唾液) onto a testing card.The card changes color if the person is catching Ebloa.Present Ebloa tests take up to 12 hours and cost $1,000.Olivia’s method,however,can be done just in 30 minutes for about $25.Besides,the sample (样本) doesn’t have to be put in a refrigerator thanks to the silk material Olivia uses to produce the testing cards.
Olivia was inspired to deal with this global problem after watching the news that more than 10,000 people died from Ebola in West Africa.She was particularly worried about the fact that,while the acts of involvement can improve survival rates,present detection methods are costly (昂贵的),time-consuming and require complex tools.Olivia got help from her science research teacher.She drew out directions from past research,and figured out detection systems that have proven to work with other diseases,including Lyme disease and yellow fever.
“What affects one country affects everyone,” Olivia told CNBC.“We have to work together to find answers to the huge challenges which cause harm to the global health.” The Connecticut’s teen,who hopes to become a doctor one day,was named the Google Science Fair winner in the competition of 20 competitors from across the globe.The fair is open to young people between the ages of 13 and 18 in most countries.
Olivia hopes her success will inspire other girls interested in science and computers.“I would just encourage girls to try it in the beginning,and remind them that they don’t have to feel naturally drawn or feel like they have a special talent for maths or science,” she told CNBC,“but just really look at something they are interested in and then think how to improve something or make it more enjoyable or relate it to their interests.”

2.What can we learn about Olivia’s method

Two weeks ago,a 5-year-old girl named Sunshine Oelfke emptied out her piggy bank (存钱罐) onto the living room floor and immediately started counting.Her grandmother,Jackie Oelfke,thought she was playing as she carefully lined up the coins,but then she saw the girl put the coins into a plastic bag and place it in her backpack.
“What are you doing with that money ” Jackie asked her granddaughter.
“I’m taking it to school,” Sunshine replied.“I’m going to take it for milk money.My friend Layla doesn’t get milk— her mom doesn’t have milk money and I do.”
Jackie’s heart melted at Sunshine’s words.Choked with strong feelings,Jackie held her sweet granddaughter tightly in her arms.
Last week,Jackie and Sunshine met with her teacher,Rita Hausher,and handed her the $30 the kindergartner had saved.There are 20 kids in Sunshine’s class and about half don’t get milk.It costs $ 0.45 a carton (纸盒).The total adds up to about $180 a month for every child in the class to have milk every day.
After dropping Sunshine off at school,Jackie posted a tearful video on the Internet to explain her granddaughter’s plan.To her surprise,many people offered to donate toward the cause.Within a week,Jackie raised more than $1,000.Now every student in Sunshine’s class can get free milk for the rest of the year.
Jackie said Sunshine doesn’t see her kind act as a big deal.She was just trying to look out for her friends.“She doesn’t understand the effect she’s brought about,” Jackie said.“But now she knows she can do whatever she puts her mind to.”

D.She intended to pay for her friend’s milk.
答案 D [细节理解题。根据第三段“I’m going to take it for milk money...and I do.”可知,Sunshine掏空她的存钱罐是为了给她的朋友买牛奶,故选D项。]
6.How did Jackie feel upon hearing Sunshine’s words
A.Relieved. B.Touched.
C.Curious. D.Proud.
答案 B [推理判断题。根据第四段可推知,Sunshine的话使Jackie触动很深,很感动,故选B项。]
7.In Jackie’s eyes,what did Sunshine learn from the experience
A.Two heads are better than one.
B.A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C.Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
D.There’s no such thing as a free lunch.
答案 C [推理判断题。根据最后一段“Jackie said...whatever she puts her mind to.’”可推知,在Jackie看来,只要Sunshine用心,她可以做到任何她想做的事情,故选C项。]
8.What is the best title for this passage
A.Small Coins,Big Changes.
B.Jackie’s Piggy Bank.
C.Piggy Bank and Carton Milk.
D.A Moved Grandmother.
答案 A [标题归纳题。根据第一段“Two weeks ago...and immediately started counting.”及下文内容可知,本文主要讲述小女孩Sunshine用自己存钱罐里面的零钱帮助朋友买牛奶,并起到了连锁反应,最后在许多人的捐赠下,让班里的所有孩子们都能喝到免费的牛奶。由此可知,Small Coins,Big Changes适合作本文最佳标题,故选A项。]

Four Ways to Be a Great Roommate
Having a roommate can be one of the best experiences in college or,easily,one of the worst. 1 Follow these tips to avoid the common mistakes that turn good roommate relationships sour.
Talk things munication is key.If something happens,sit down with your roommate and have a face-to-face conversation.I’ve seen roommate relationships fall apart because something happens and,instead of talking to each other,the two start complaining about their roommates behind their backs. 2
Don’t expect to be best friends.Some roommates become the best of friends,and some don’t.Don’t put pressure on yourself or your roommate,especially when you first meet. 3 And if your roommate doesn’t end up being your best friend,don’t worry.
Ask before you take. This applies to food,clothes and anything else.If you want to keep a relationship going,show your roommate that you have respect for what is his or hers by asking first. 4
Clean up after yourself. This should do without saying.Don’t be lazy.Or,at least,don’t bury your roommate in your clothes and garbage.Most people I’ve come across in college are messy. 5 But being considerate with where you put your stuff will help you avoid conflict.
A.This creates nothing but awkward situations and unhappiness.
B.Even if you both agree to share everything,you should still ask.
C.So you need to think twice before you help your roommates out.
D.You don’t have all the time to clean your room and keep it organized.
E.It all starts with you to have a good relationship with your roommate.
F.Sometime you get stuck with someone who has tons of negative energy.
G.Remember,you’re trying to make a new friend,not to scare your roommate away.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章就如何与室友相处给出了四条建议。
1.E [根据空格前后句可知,文章给出了一些和舍友相处的好建议,大学有室友的经历怎么样,关键在于和室友是否有良好的关系,承接上下文,E选项“这一切都是从你和室友的良好关系开始的。”切题,故选E项。]
2.A [由上一句“I’ve seen roommate relationships...behind their backs.”可知,上文讲和室友关系不好,还互相在背后指责对方的话,承接上文,会导致A选项“这只会造成尴尬和不快。”的情况出现,故选A项。]
3.G [由小标题“Don’t expect to be best friends.”和上一句“Don’t put pressure on yourself or your roommate,especially when you first meet.”可知,第一次见面时,作者建议把室友当成一个新朋友,而不是当成好朋友,避免给对方太多压力,把对方吓走,承接上文,G选项“记住,你是想交个新朋友,而不是吓跑你的室友。”切题,故选G项。]
4.B [由小标题“Ask before you take.”和上一句“If you want to...hers by asking first.”可知,作者建议一定要尊重对方,拿别人东西时一定要先询问,承接上文,B选项“即使你们都同意分享一切,你还是应该问。”切题,故选B项。]
5.D [由小标题“Clean up after yourself.”可知,作者建议和室友相处,要保持卫生干净整洁,空后提到“但是考虑好东西放哪里会帮助你避免冲突”,D选项“你不用一直打扫你的房间,保持房间井然有序。”与空后内容形成转折关系,故选D项。](共57张PPT)

Olivia was inspired to deal with this global problem after watching the news that more than 10,000 people died from Ebola in West Africa.She was particularly worried about the fact that,while the acts of involvement can improve survival rates,present detection methods are costly (昂贵的),time-consuming and require complex tools.Olivia got help from her science research teacher.She drew out directions from past research,and figured out detection systems that have proven to work with other diseases,including Lyme disease and yellow fever.
“What affects one country affects everyone,” Olivia told CNBC. “We have to work together to find answers to the huge challenges which cause harm to the global health.” The Connecticut’s teen,who hopes to become a doctor one day,was named the Google Science Fair winner in the competition of 20 competitors from across the globe.The fair is open to young people between the ages of 13 and 18 in most countries.
Olivia hopes her success will inspire other girls interested in science and computers.“I would just encourage girls to try it in the beginning,and remind them that they don’t have to feel naturally drawn or feel like they have a special talent for maths or science,” she told CNBC,“but just really look at something they are interested in and then think how to improve something or make it more enjoyable or relate it to their interests.”

Two weeks ago,a 5-year-old girl named Sunshine Oelfke emptied out her piggy bank (存钱罐) onto the living room floor and immediately started counting.Her grandmother,Jackie Oelfke,thought she was playing as she carefully lined up the coins,but then she saw the girl put the coins into a plastic bag and place it in her backpack.
“What are you doing with that money ” Jackie asked her granddaughter.
“I’m taking it to school,” Sunshine replied.“I’m going to take it for milk money.My friend Layla doesn’t get milk— her mom doesn’t have milk money and I do.”
Jackie’s heart melted at Sunshine’s words.Choked with strong feelings,Jackie held her sweet granddaughter tightly in her arms.
Last week,Jackie and Sunshine met with her teacher,Rita Hausher,and handed her the $30 the kindergartner had saved.There are 20 kids in Sunshine’s class and about half don’t get milk.It costs $ 0.45 a carton (纸盒).The total adds up to about $180 a month for every child in the class to have milk every day.
After dropping Sunshine off at school,Jackie posted a tearful video on the Internet to explain her granddaughter’s plan.To her surprise,many people offered to donate toward the cause.Within a week,Jackie raised more than $1,000.Now every student in Sunshine’s class can get free milk for the rest of the year.
Jackie said Sunshine doesn’t see her kind act as a big deal.She was just trying to look out for her friends.“She doesn’t understand the effect she’s brought about,” Jackie said.“But now she knows she can do whatever she puts her mind to.”

Four Ways to Be a Great Roommate
Having a roommate can be one of the best experiences in college or,easily,one of the worst. 1 Follow these tips to avoid the common mistakes that turn good roommate relationships sour.
Talk things munication is key.If something happens,sit down with your roommate and have a face-to-face conversation.I’ve seen roommate relationships fall apart because something happens and,instead of talking to each other,the two start complaining about their roommates behind their backs. 2
Don’t expect to be best friends.Some roommates become the best of friends,and some don’t.Don’t put pressure on yourself or your roommate,especially when you first meet. 3 And if your roommate doesn’t end up being your best friend,don’t worry.
Ask before you take. This applies to food,clothes and anything else.If you want to keep a relationship going,show your roommate that you have respect for what is his or hers by asking first. 4
Clean up after yourself. This should do without saying.Don’t be lazy.Or,at least,don’t bury your roommate in your clothes and garbage.Most people I’ve come across in college are messy. 5 But being considerate with where you put your stuff will help you avoid conflict.
A.This creates nothing but awkward situations and unhappiness.
B.Even if you both agree to share everything,you should still ask.
C.So you need to think twice before you help your roommates out.
D.You don’t have all the time to clean your room and keep it organized.
E.It all starts with you to have a good relationship with your roommate.
F.Sometime you get stuck with someone who has tons of negative energy.
G.Remember,you’re trying to make a new friend,not to scare your roommate away.
