The first week of September was a week that I had been expecting (期待) all summer. I didn’t want summer to end, but I was excited about going to high school for my first week.
When I got to school in the morning on the first day, I realized how large the school was, and how many students went there. I ended up in the wrong classroom because of the size of the school. Luckily, a kind senior showed up and guided me to my homeroom before I was late. I was happy to see that in a class of unfamiliar (不熟悉的) faces, the only open seat was next to my good friend Casey. My science teacher seemed like a good teacher. She was exciting and fun.
After finishing four classes without too much of a challenge, I didn’t feel too bad about ninth grade. However, the fifth class changed everything. I didn’t feel ready after all. My teacher’s name is Mr. Valassidis but he told us to call him Mr. V. Mr. V told us that we would have to write 40 essays (文章) and read AP-level books such as The Odyssey this year. I love reading and writing. But come on. 40 ESSAYS AP-level books Now I was afraid.
The courses in high school seem like they’re going to get much harder, but they haven’t yet. Even though my classes look hard, they look really exciting too.
The first week passed quickly. Although a lot of things were overwhelming (令人不知所措的): the size of the campus, the crowds (人群) and the seniors, having a totally different experience than I had ever had before was really exciting. Now, I’m really happy about high school. I have lots of friends in my classes, I really like my teachers and I’m meeting new people.

One popular tool to help people understand their influence on climate change is a carbon footprint calculator (碳足迹计算器). There are many of these calculators online. You can enter details like what type of transportation you use to go to work, how often you eat red meat, and if you wash your clothes in cold water.
But some people think that focusing on your carbon footprint is not very useful. Instead, a new idea called the climate shadow (阴影) has become popular. This idea was first introduced by a writer named Emma Pattee from Portland, Oregon. The climate shadow looks at all of a person's choices and their influence on the planet. The bigger the shadow, the more positive influence a person has on the planet.
Pattee explained her idea, “Your climate shadow is like a dark shape that follows you everywhere. It counts not only how much air conditioning you use and how much gas your car uses, but also how you vote, how many children you have, where you work, how you invest your money, how much you talk about climate change, and whether your words make people feel urgent, indifferent, or in denial about climate change.”
For example, if you put solar panels (太阳能电池板) on your roof, your carbon footprint might get smaller. But your climate shadow would get bigger if you talk to your neighbors about your choice. Even just having solar panels on your roof can influence your neighbors to get their own. Studies show that people are more likely to install solar panels if their neighbors have them.
In other words, the climate shadow idea encourages actions that inspire others. Your climate shadow grows when your actions, even unknowingly, motivate others to take positive steps for the planet.
8. Who introduced the idea of the climate shadow
A. An environmental organization. B. A government organization.
C. Emma Pattee. D. A group of scientists from Portland.
9. What does climate shadow focus more on compared with carbon footprint
A. The practical result. B. The use of energy.
C. The scientific meaning. D. The social influence.
10. What does the underlined word “install” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Replace. B. Fix. C. Sell. D. Improve.
11. What is the best title for this text
A. Understanding Your Climate Shadow B. Reducing Your Carbon Footprint
C. The Benefits of Solar Panels D. How to Use a Carbon Footprint Calculator
D
The Chinese version of TikTok, Douyin, is introducing a “teenage mode” that will limit the amount of time to 40 minutes a day for children under the age of 14 who spend on the short-form video app. It will also be unavailable to those users between 10 p. m. and 6 a. m. The measures will apply to all Douyin users under the age of 14 who have registered using their real names, its company announced in a statement on Saturday.
The company also encourages parents to help their children use real names, or they can set the “teenage mode”. The app will also introduce new content, ranging from science experiments and museums to art exhibition and natural scenery, to inspire younger teens.
Experts remark that limiting the usage of Douyin is an active measure which is of great benefit to minors (未成年人). The decision will push other Internet platforms with short videos to consider setting similar limits. Self-management and voluntary change of the platforms can make them more socially responsible.
Douyin had at least 490 million users in November 2020, according to a media research firm. The Chinese government control the large amount of time minors spend on their services. In June, China changed the Minor Protection Law, which requires Internet service providers —including social media apps—to “set up corresponding (相关的) functions such as time management, content restriction and consumption limits for minors.”
Last month, China prevented online gamers under the age of 18 from playing on weekdays and limited their play to just three hours most weekends. A series of measures have been taken to further ensure the safety of businesses focused on the next generation, from a heavy hit on after-school classes to rules for online gaming and videos.
12. What will the company of Douyin do with its teenage mode
A. Limit the time for children to use Douyin.
B. Encourage parents to use their real names.
C. Allow children to use Douyin after 10 p. m.
D. Attract more children to watch online videos.
13. Which opinion will the experts agree with probably
A. Limiting usage of Douyin is of little significance.
B. The measures won’t have effects on other platforms.
C. The self-management of the Internet platforms is enough.
D. The Internet platforms should take more responsibilities.
14. What can we infer about tech companies from paragraph 4
A. They wanted to take the place of Douyin.
B. Their business should follow the new law.
C. They refused to set up corresponding function.
D. Their influence was discovered by media research firms.
15. What’s the main purpose of the government’s measures
A. To encourage online games. B. To protect the next generation.
C. To develop advanced technology. D. To reduce the kids’ learning pressure.

47. 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。续写的词数应为150左右。
I was never a fast runner and thus I always didn’t like running. Throughout my childhood, whenever we competed in the 50-meter run, the 400-meter, or any other type of race, I would finish in the bottom half. In my late teens, as a member of a baseball team, I was the slowest runner on the team. In the preseason training, I was always the one running by myself at the end.
Therefore, twenty years later, when I entered my first official running race — a 3,000-meter challenge in my city — at age 38, I certainly didn’t expect to win or come close to winning.
I was there because my college friend Jim Hosek was the director of the race, and he asked me to run. The race was aimed at raising money for the unfortunate patients in a hospital and encouraging the patients and their fanilies to be brave, determined, and confident with sportsmanship.
It was a heartwarming program.I wanted to support it, so I showed up, paid the entrance fee, had a number pinned (把……别住) on my back, and moved over to the starting line. There, I waited with about 300 other runners for the race to begin. I was nervous. Would I be the last one to finish a race again Could I even finish the race I wondered.
Before long, someone spoke into a microphole, “Anyone weighing over 200 pounds comes down to the scale (秤), please.” Knowing I was over 200 pounds, I walked down to the scale. A man told me to stand on it. “Two hundred and three pounds,” he said. Then he wrote down the race number that was on my back. Out of curiosity, I asked him why he did so,and then I was told there would be an award ceremony (仪式) after the race. One award was for the first finisher in the over 200-pound group, and this special award would be announced at the end of the ceremony.
Not expecting the award, I ran towards the starting line, never realizing there were only two runners weighing over 200 pounds.
Paragraph 1:
Soon after, the race started.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Then came the last award, and to my surprise, my name was announced.

My teacher’s name is Mr. Valassidis but he told us to call him Mr. V. Mr. V told us that we would have to write 40 essays (文章) and read AP-level books such as The Odyssey this year. I love reading and writing. But come on. 40 ESSAYS AP-level books Now I was afraid.
The courses in high school seem like they’re going to get much harder, but they haven’t yet. Even though my classes look hard, they look really exciting too.
The first week passed quickly. Although a lot of things were overwhelming (令人不知所措的): the size of the campus, the crowds (人群) and the seniors, having a totally different experience than I had ever had before was really exciting. Now, I’m really happy about high school. I have lots of friends in my classes, I really like my teachers and I’m meeting new people.

One popular tool to help people understand their influence on climate change is a carbon footprint calculator (碳足迹计算器). There are many of these calculators online. You can enter details like what type of transportation you use to go to work, how often you eat red meat, and if you wash your clothes in cold water.
But some people think that focusing on your carbon footprint is not very useful. Instead, a new idea called the climate shadow (阴影) has become popular. This idea was first introduced by a writer named Emma Pattee from Portland, Oregon. The climate shadow looks at all of a person's choices and their influence on the planet. The bigger the shadow, the more positive influence a person has on the planet.
Pattee explained her idea, “Your climate shadow is like a dark shape that follows you everywhere. It counts not only how much air conditioning you use and how much gas your car uses, but also how you vote, how many children you have, where you work, how you invest your money, how much you talk about climate change, and whether your words make people feel urgent, indifferent, or in denial about climate change.”
For example, if you put solar panels (太阳能电池板) on your roof, your carbon footprint might get smaller. But your climate shadow would get bigger if you talk to your neighbors about your choice. Even just having solar panels on your roof can influence your neighbors to get their own. Studies show that people are more likely to install solar panels if their neighbors have them.
In other words, the climate shadow idea encourages actions that inspire others. Your climate shadow grows when your actions, even unknowingly, motivate others to take positive steps for the planet.
8. Who introduced the idea of the climate shadow
A. An environmental organization. B. A government organization.
C. Emma Pattee. D. A group of scientists from Portland.
9. What does climate shadow focus more on compared with carbon footprint
A. The practical result. B. The use of energy.
C. The scientific meaning. D. The social influence.
10. What does the underlined word “install” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Replace. B. Fix. C. Sell. D. Improve.
11. What is the best title for this text
A. Understanding Your Climate Shadow B. Reducing Your Carbon Footprint
C. The Benefits of Solar Panels D. How to Use a Carbon Footprint Calculator
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A
D
The Chinese version of TikTok, Douyin, is introducing a “teenage mode” that will limit the amount of time to 40 minutes a day for children under the age of 14 who spend on the short-form video app. It will also be unavailable to those users between 10 p. m. and 6 a. m. The measures will apply to all Douyin users under the age of 14 who have registered using their real names, its company announced in a statement on Saturday.
The company also encourages parents to help their children use real names, or they can set the “teenage mode”. The app will also introduce new content, ranging from science experiments and museums to art exhibition and natural scenery, to inspire younger teens.
Experts remark that limiting the usage of Douyin is an active measure which is of great benefit to minors (未成年人). The decision will push other Internet platforms with short videos to consider setting similar limits. Self-management and voluntary change of the platforms can make them more socially responsible.
Douyin had at least 490 million users in November 2020, according to a media research firm. The Chinese government control the large amount of time minors spend on their services. In June, China changed the Minor Protection Law, which requires Internet service providers —including social media apps—to “set up corresponding (相关的) functions such as time management, content restriction and consumption limits for minors.”
Last month, China prevented online gamers under the age of 18 from playing on weekdays and limited their play to just three hours most weekends. A series of measures have been taken to further ensure the safety of businesses focused on the next generation, from a heavy hit on after-school classes to rules for online gaming and videos.
12. What will the company of Douyin do with its teenage mode
A. Limit the time for children to use Douyin.
B. Encourage parents to use their real names.
C. Allow children to use Douyin after 10 p. m.
D. Attract more children to watch online videos.
13. Which opinion will the experts agree with probably
A. Limiting usage of Douyin is of little significance.
B. The measures won’t have effects on other platforms.
C. The self-management of the Internet platforms is enough.
D. The Internet platforms should take more responsibilities.
14. What can we infer about tech companies from paragraph 4
A. They wanted to take the place of Douyin.
B. Their business should follow the new law.
C. They refused to set up corresponding function.
D. Their influence was discovered by media research firms.
15. What’s the main purpose of the government’s measures
A. To encourage online games. B. To protect the next generation.
C. To develop advanced technology. D. To reduce the kids’ learning pressure.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. B

47. 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。续写的词数应为150左右。
I was never a fast runner and thus I always didn’t like running. Throughout my childhood, whenever we competed in the 50-meter run, the 400-meter, or any other type of race, I would finish in the bottom half. In my late teens, as a member of a baseball team, I was the slowest runner on the team. In the preseason training, I was always the one running by myself at the end.
Therefore, twenty years later, when I entered my first official running race — a 3,000-meter challenge in my city — at age 38, I certainly didn’t expect to win or come close to winning.
I was there because my college friend Jim Hosek was the director of the race, and he asked me to run. The race was aimed at raising money for the unfortunate patients in a hospital and encouraging the patients and their fanilies to be brave, determined, and confident with sportsmanship.
It was a heartwarming program.I wanted to support it, so I showed up, paid the entrance fee, had a number pinned (把……别住) on my back, and moved over to the starting line. There, I waited with about 300 other runners for the race to begin. I was nervous. Would I be the last one to finish a race again Could I even finish the race I wondered.
Before long, someone spoke into a microphole, “Anyone weighing over 200 pounds comes down to the scale (秤), please.” Knowing I was over 200 pounds, I walked down to the scale. A man told me to stand on it. “Two hundred and three pounds,” he said. Then he wrote down the race number that was on my back. Out of curiosity, I asked him why he did so,and then I was told there would be an award ceremony (仪式) after the race. One award was for the first finisher in the over 200-pound group, and this special award would be announced at the end of the ceremony.
Not expecting the award, I ran towards the starting line, never realizing there were only two runners weighing over 200 pounds.
Paragraph 1:
Soon after, the race started.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Then came the last award, and to my surprise, my name was announced.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Soon after, the race started. While I was running, I saw many runners pass me on the way. Minutes later, I already felt tired. However, to encourage those in need, I tried to show the best of me, without worrying about the result. I kept moving forward as fast as I could. After most runners finished the race, I finally made it to the finish line. Despite the tiredness, I was satisfied. Shortly after the race, the award ceremony began and several awards were presented.
Then came the last award, and to my surprise, my name was announced. Confused and excited, I walked up to the winner’s platform and was awarded a medal. As the crowd cheered and clapped loudly, I felt warmth in my heart. After the ceremony, I learned from my friend Jim that there were only two runners weighing over 200 pounds. Although I only beat one person, Jim praised me for my determination, courage, and kindness. Honestly, I was proud of myself. This race increased my love for running and my confidence in myself.
