Study abroad programmes in New Zealand
New Zealand is a land of breathtaking natural beauty, friendly locals, and a unique cultural heritage. Here are some study abroad programmes for high school students.
Homestay Exchange
Students who come to New Zealand for a semester or a whole year usually stay with local host families. This provides a great chance for them to experience the typical daily life in New Zealand. Students learning the language can improve their language abilities by communicating with their host families. And for those who are already good at the language, they can gain a deeper understanding of the local lifestyle.
Adventure Study Tours
These tours are an excellent choice for high school students who want to have a short but meaningful study experience abroad. The tours are often based on different themes such as art exploration, outdoor exploration, or community service. Students will have a special and enjoyable time while combining educational elements such as history or nature studies—without leaving their regular schoolwork behind.
Winter Study Programme
For students who only have their winter break available, a specialized winter programme is ideal. Remember, the winter in the northern hemisphere (半球) is the summer in New Zealand. Frequently, these winter programmes are connected with colleges, enabling students to get university credits.
( )21.What can Homestay Exchange offer
A.A complete knowledge of our textbooks.
B.A better chance to understand New Zealand’s culture.
C.A great method to communicate with expert educators.
D.A valuable opportunity to make friends from all over the world.
( )22.Who might be interested in Adventure Study Tours
A.Those who are interested in music.
B.Those who are fond of art exploration.
C.Those who like indoor activities.
D.Those who wish to do part-time jobs.
( )23.What do these three programmes in New Zealand have in common
A.They all give university credits to students.
B.They all only focus on language learning.
C.They all offer educational activities to foreign students.
D.They all provide an opportunity to explore different themes.

In middle school, I was one of the “gifted” kids. I felt like I was on top of the world. I was able to even use my “gifted” title to get accepted into a famous private high school, something I’d never expected.
Then high school began. All of a sudden, I was no longer at the top of my class. Teachers didn’t look to me for the correct answer. My papers were filled with corrections, not praise. To put it simply, all the straight A’s on my report card were quickly disappearing.
My parents’ concern grew—they began to search for tutors and would constantly ask me as if they were trying to find out what was wrong with me. My concern grew too—the pressure to live up to their expectations only became greater and I found myself constantly anxious, and worrying about school.
Last week, watching Simone Biles pull out of the Olympics reminded me of this feeling. Simone Biles: the GOAT (Greatest of All Time). If there was any one person we knew we could depend on to win gold in her event, it was Simone. But that kind of pressure is unbearable. Imagine having to practically carry the Olympics on your back because all of the United States feels as though they can rely on you. However, unlike me and my freshman-year identity crisis, Simone recognized the pressure she was under. She had the bravery and self-reflective skills to be able to realize that the pressure of perfection was too much for her to handle.
Simone Biles has taught me a very important lesson: to be the greatest person of all time, mental health must come first. Instead of getting down on myself for not performing the way I wanted to, I need to take a note from Simone and be kind to myself, taking a break and asking for help when necessary. Taking care of yourself and your mental health is nothing to be ashamed of. After all, if GOAT can do it, so can we!
( )24.How might the author find her middle school life
A.Challenging. B.Peaceful.
C.Meaningless. D.Satisfying.
( )25.What may be a reason for the author’s anxiety
A.Disappointing her parents.
B.Caring about her appearance.
C.Failing to be admitted to college.
D.Being unable to complete her papers.
( )26.What might Simone Biles be
A.A professional athlete.
B.An Olympic official.
C.An event organizer.
D.A medal presenter.
( )27.What did the author learn from Biles
A.Deal with pressure on our own.
B.Taking care of ourselves matters.
C.Never seek help whatever happens.
D.Winning comes first in all the fields.

Singing is one of the purest ways to express joy, yet for most of her life, Sofia Zalazar was too shy to lift her voice in song in public.
The high school junior from Argentina was born with a cleft (唇裂), so expressing herself vocally was difficult while she was growing up. The other children laughed at her for the way she spoke, and she struggled to feel like she fitted in.
Sofia was fitted with a bulb (咽球) that fitted inside her mouth to help her form accurate sounds. While Sofia began to make great progress in speaking clearly, she still felt embarrassed around her classmates.
During school lunches, she didn’t want any of them to see her remove her bulb in order that she could eat. She would slip into the bathroom before the meal to remove it, and then remain silent throughout lunch while her classmates chatted and laughed all around her. The process made her feel lonely even when she was surrounded by others.
When she was 15, Sofia learned that Smile Train, the world’s largest cleft charity, would sponsor local professionals at nearby Notti Hospital to perform the operation she had waited so long for. She was overjoyed at the prospect of removing her bulb for good and living a confident life.
Now Sofia no longer requires a bulb! The operation and ensuing treatments Smile Train sponsored also resulted in permanent speech improvements that made an immediate positive impact on the teenager’s daily life.
After Sofia shared a few verses of her favourite song in a Smile Train video, something truly remarkable happened. Sebastian Yatra, the Colombian singer and songwriter who wrote the hit, saw the video and recorded a special message just for her! Sofia was so excited by Sebastian’s message and by the incredible effect her own voice made!
Smile Train has helped more than 1.5 million children like Sofia, and it continues to let smiles heal families all over the world.
( )28.What does the underlined part “expressing herself vocally” mean in Paragraph 2
A.Screaming hard.
B.Speaking weakly.
C.Talking actively.
D.Pronouncing properly.
( )29.Which one was a challenge for Sofia with a bulb
A.Chatting freely.
B.Looking natural.
C.Eating things.
D.Opening her mouth.
( )30.What was the outcome of Sofia sharing her singing in a Smile Train video
A.She became a professional singer.
B.She gained widespread recognition on social media.
C.She was offered a scholarship to a music academy.
D.She received a special message from a famous singer.
( )31.What can be inferred about the impact of Smile Train’s assistance on children like Sofia
A.It has a lasting and huge effect on their lives.
B.It offers a one-time solution to their physical challenges.
C.It provides a momentary improvement for their confidence.

D [2025·河南郑州十校高一期中联考]
Have you ever played a computer game for a long time and then kept seeing the game’s images afterward This happened to me with the classic shape-falling game Tetris (俄罗斯方块), created in 1985 by Alexey Pajitnov.
Feeling stressed one evening, I turned on my Switch to find a game to play and relax with. That was when I discovered Tetris. Before I knew it, I was extremely interested. Even when I stopped, my brain was still playing, with the blocks falling in my mind. I started looking at objects in the real world and thinking about how they could be moved and stacked (堆叠) together. I even dreamed about Tetris. I was experiencing the common “Tetris Effect”.
Introduced by journalist Jeffrey Goldsmith in his 1994 Wired magazine article called “This Is Your Brain on Tetris”, the effect has been observed by psychologists (心理学家) and researchers. The lasting images of Tetris are due to the “Zeigarnik Effect”, in which people have better memories of uncompleted tasks than those of completed ones. Tetris, being a game that technically never ends, keeps you thinking of the game’s unfinished task, reported Tech Times. And the pleasant music stays with you, too.
There are also positives to the Tetris Effect. In his 1991 study, psychologist Richard Haier at the University of California found that continuously playing Tetris resulted in the thickness of the cerebral cortex (大脑皮层) increasing, which improves brain function (功能), reported psychology website Practical Pie.
Tetris has also been researched for use as a treatment for mental suffering. The Yale Scientific Magazine reported that researchers at John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, UK, found that playing Tetris appeared to reduce unpleasant memories in the short term for people affected by motor vehicle accidents.
So, the next time you want to play a computer game, why not try the classic Tetris and see if it improves your brain function But be warned, you’ll likely be seeing falling blocks everywhere.
( )32.What happened to the author after playing the game Tetris
A.He was relaxed completely.
B.He was addicted to it.
C.He saw some falling blocks everywhere.
D.He kept thinking about it even after it was over.
( )33.What can be learned about the “Tetris Effect” from the text
A.It was introduced by a researcher.
B.It was caused by the game’s music.
C.It is related to the way our memory works.
D.It is common among computer game players.
( )34.What benefit can people get from continuously playing Tetris, according to Haier
A.Better brain function.
B.Improving happiness.
C.Reducing short memory.
D.Comfort from bad experiences.
( )35.What do you think of the author in the last paragraph
A.Serious. B.Humorous.
C.Worried. D.Surprised.

Participating in high school extra-curricular activities is important for personal growth. They can teach you a lot, introduce you to good friends and give you ideas about what to do in future. 36.
The most important thing to consider before taking part in extra-curricular activities is: What do you like to do 37. Once you’ve made a list of interests, it’s time to search for opportunities. Usually, your teachers and parents know more about what is going on in your community than you do. 38. And never underestimate the power of a simple online search!
Now you know how to find extra-curricular activities, there is one more problem most high school students have: how to find the time. You need to go to school, do your homework, and maybe even work a part-time job. 39. However, time is not something too difficult to get. You have to make the time to do extra-curricular activities if you really want to get involved. You can sit down and make your schedule hour by hour and take an honest look at what you do with your free time. 40.
Whether you give up one Saturday every month to volunteer or one hour every week to attend club meetings, you are making the time to make a difference and prepare for your future.
A.You might be surprised by how much free time you “find”.
B.You’ll find a world of opportunities waiting for you.
C.They won’t mind helping you out a little bit.
D.You don’t need to travel far to find extra-curricular activities.
E.If you’re going to spend hours every week doing something, you need to enjoy it.
F.You feel there’s not enough time to participate in extra-curricular activities.
G.So if you’re a high school student wondering where to get started, look no further.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was a pupil, I studied at a girls’ school. At that time, in order to get us to know each other as soon as possible, our teacher made all the girls in the class sit next to someone different every week. One day, the teacher asked Shirley, with whom I had never talked, to sit beside me. I wanted to get along well with her, but she was always shy and quiet.
On one of those days, I noticed that Shirley was very upset. I asked her what was wrong. She kept silent for a long time. Finally, she told me that she came from a big family and she had several siblings. Her father couldn’t afford school books for all of the children. Seeing her pain, I couldn’t help but blurt out, “My parents can buy books for all of you.” But she refused.
When I came back home, I told my mum the story. Mum said that it was good that I had tried to help, but I should stop worrying about it because there was nothing more that I could do if she had refused my offer to help. A moment later, she recommended that I help Shirley in a way that Shirley might accept.
That night, I tossed and turned in bed, thinking what I should do.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。

Suddenly, an idea flashed into my mind.

M:Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I’m pleased to meet all of you here because you are my special guests. Welcome to the museum of our company. My name is Brown. I am the general manager of the company. As you all know, we mainly make computers in our company. We also make some other products. But we are quite interested in education. That’s why we have founded this museum. We hope children can learn how computers have been developed, how they are made and how they are used in industry, agriculture, scientific research, and many other areas. Children can try the computers. They can push buttons and listen to stories about computers, and they can enjoy video shows. I know you are all teachers, and you know what school children really need. So I hope you can give me some advice after you have looked around. I want my museum to be the best when it opens to all school children. This is Mr Tom Silver, my assistant. He will tell you more about our museum. I’ll be with you again in one hour and a half. Enjoy yourselves. See you later.

One possible version:
Dear Li Ming,
I am glad to receive your letter, and understand your concerns. As your friend, I would like to give you some advice.
Firstly, you’d better join some different clubs or sports that you are interested in. These experiences will enrich your high school life and help you discover your passions. In addition, why not make a study plan High school study can be demanding, so work out a study schedule which can help you balance your classes, homework, and leisure time. Last but not least, it’s better to ask for help. Teachers and peers are valuable resources. Their support will make the transition smoother and more enjoyable.
I hope my proposals are of help. If you need more advice, I’m always here for you.
Best wishes for a successful and fulfilling high school journey!

第二节
【思路点拨】 本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者试图帮助同学雪莉解决教科书问题的经历。作者的同学雪莉因为家庭原因买不起教科书,作者想直接帮她买但被拒绝。之后作者想到给雪莉找二手书的办法,并得到表哥的帮助。最终,雪莉愉快地接受了这些书,雪莉的脸上重新焕发出了希望的光芒。
【详解】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“突然,一个想法闪过我的脑海。”可知,第一段可描写作者想出帮助雪莉的方法:找些二手书,并且向表哥寻求帮助;同时也要描写作者的担心,即雪莉是否会没有负担地接受这些书。
②由第二段首句内容“周日,我带着书去了她家。”可知,第二段可描写作者送书给雪莉,雪莉愉快地接受了书,并且二人相约第二天一起去学校,雪莉脸上重新焕发光芒。
2.续写线索:想到送雪莉二手书的主意—向表哥求助—得到表哥支持—担心雪莉是否有心理负担—去雪莉家送书—雪莉愉快地接受帮助—二人相约一起去上学,雪莉脸上重新焕发光芒
One possible version:
Suddenly, an idea flashed into my mind. Maybe I can find her some second-hand books. It doesn’t cost anything and could solve her problem. Immediately, I called my elder cousin, who just graduated from our school. Having been informed of what was going on, he also showed great sympathy for Shirley, and gave me the books. But I’m still a little worried about Shirley: Would she accept the books without any pressure
On Sunday, I went to her house with the books. With a happy heart, I was about to knock at the door when it happened to me that she would misunderstand my kindness. Nervously I rang the doorbell. She couldn’t hide her surprise when seeing me standing at the door. After I explained why I had come, she gave me a big smile. I let out a quiet sigh as she took the books from my hand! After the problem was solved, we agreed to go to school together the next day. This time, I saw a light of hope on her face.
