Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
When I woke up on September 1，there was only one thing on my mind: what to wear.A billion thoughts appeared through my brain in the closet(衣橱).Not only was it my first day of senior high school，but it was my first day of school in a new state；first impressions are everything，and it was important for me to impress the people who I would spend the next three years with.
After carefully hunting my closet，I proudly came out in a dress from Target.The soft cotton was comfortable，and the specially designed shoulders added a little of fun.Yes，this cloth was the one.An hour later，I felt powerful as I headed toward room 1136.But as I entered class，my jaw dropped to the floor.
Sitting at her desk was Mrs Hutfilz，my English teacher，wearing exactly the same dress as me.I kept my head down and tiptoed(踮着脚尖)to my seat.I made it through my simple introduction speech until Mrs Hutfilz stood up，jokingly saying that she liked my style.Although this was the moment I had been afraid of from the moment I walked in，all my anxiety surprisingly melted away，and the students paid attention as I shared my story.My smile grew as I laughed with the students.After class，I stayed behind，talked to Mrs Hutfilz and make a humorous and real communication.
Looking back three years later，the ten minutes I spent afraid of giving my speech were really not worth it.My first period of high school certainly made the day unforgettable in the best way and taught me that Mrs Hutfilz has a brilliant sense of style!

大家好！欢迎进入高中阶段学习！今天是新学期的开始，是一段三年旅程的开端，更是一个锦绣前程的起点。
我迫不及待地想要向你们描述高中生活的模样。你们面前的路通向一个充满挑战的世界，这里有新环境、新知识和新的思维方式。不过，对你们当中心态积极的人来说，每一个挑战中都蕴藏着机遇。在迎接挑战的时候，你们将有机会掌握大量的知识，并享受个人的成长。最重要的是，你在高中阶段度过的时光、付出的努力将会为你叩开潜能的大门。
你们也许会问：“什么是潜能？”简而言之，潜能就是当你足够努力时才可以开发的天赋。谁知道未来你们能创作出哪些精美的艺术品，实现哪些医学突破，或者开发出哪些不可思议的技术！可能性无穷无尽，而且我相信你们有能力改变你们的家庭、改变你们的社区、改变我们的国家。在今后的三年里，你们作为学生和个体成长的同时，将会发现自己的潜能。
要想全面发挥自己的潜能，充分利用我们学校的资源很重要。要让学校课程为你所用，要向老师和同学请教，要善用学校的各种设施。学校还为你们准备了许多活动。要加入一两个俱乐部，并且积极地参与各项体育运动。
同样重要的还有良好的学习习惯、实用的技能以及积极的态度。要细致规划学习，设立清晰的目标，并且平衡好课业和课余活动的关系。作为一个高中生，须努力提高人际沟通和解决问题的技巧。最后但同样重要的是，要一直看到事情好的一面，即便身处困境，也永远不要失去希望。最终，你会发现自己已逐渐成长为一个全面发展的人。
正如老子睿智的箴言所说的那样：“千里之行，始于足下。”你们需要坚持不懈，努力去训练自己的头脑、培养自身的性格。高中阶段会帮助你们学习、成长，但是只有你们自己，才能肩负起发挥自身巨大潜能的责任。满怀信心，竭尽全力，让我们为你们感到骄傲吧！

Ⅰ.阅读理解

When I woke up on September 1，there was only one thing on my mind: what to wear.A billion thoughts appeared through my brain in the closet(衣橱).Not only was it my first day of senior high school，but it was my first day of school in a new state；first impressions are everything，and it was important for me to impress the people who I would spend the next three years with.
After carefully hunting my closet，I proudly came out in a dress from Target.The soft cotton was comfortable，and the specially designed shoulders added a little of fun.Yes，this cloth was the one.An hour later，I felt powerful as I headed toward room 1136.But as I entered class，my jaw dropped to the floor.
Sitting at her desk was Mrs Hutfilz，my English teacher，wearing exactly the same dress as me.I kept my head down and tiptoed(踮着脚尖)to my seat.I made it through my simple introduction speech until Mrs Hutfilz stood up，jokingly saying that she liked my style.Although this was the moment I had been afraid of from the moment I walked in，all my anxiety surprisingly melted away，and the students paid attention as I shared my story.My smile grew as I laughed with the students.After class，I stayed behind，talked to Mrs Hutfilz and make a humorous and real communication.
Looking back three years later，the ten minutes I spent afraid of giving my speech were really not worth it.My first period of high school certainly made the day unforgettable in the best way and taught me that Mrs Hutfilz has a brilliant sense of style!
