A
Sharon, Aged 22
The most important thing to keep in mind when going into high school is to be yourself. Besides, I don’t know what your middle school was like, but high school teachers will not care about things such as how much homework you already have in one night. It’s best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need.
Frank, Aged 21
I think almost every kid feels both nervous and excited before their first day. You will probably love it. I know I did. You should join in some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck！
Eddie, Aged 20
When I started high school I was really nervous too, especially since I had been home-schooled all through middle school and didn’t really know anyone, I suppose the best advice would be to just relax. The first couple of days can be a little bit hard, but things will become easier after you know it.
David, Aged 19
I’m not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening. But you’ll get used to it. Don’t be afraid of anyone; upperclassmen will pick on you more if you let them know you’re afraid. Just take it easy. Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly. After the first week it’s really not bad at all. Don’t worry.
1. What can we infer from Sharon about high school
A. Teachers are quite strict.
B. Students often stay up at night.
C. Teachers provide little care for students.
D. Students should make good use of their time.
2. How did Eddie feel on his first day of high school
A. Excited B. Bored. C. Worried. D. Relaxed.
3. Who mentions the importance of friends
A. Frank. B. David. C. Sharon. D. Eddie.
B
Do you still remember what happened when you went to school on the first day I still remember my interesting first day of school. On that day, I hurried to my science class in the morning and found a seat in the back .I waited there for 15 minutes before the bell rang. The science teacher told us about some class rules. No one talked to me, nor did I talk to anyone else. I was one of those very shy girls. After the science class, I had an English class. I thought it would be boring but it turned out to be very funny. When the classes of the morning ended, I went to lunch. I sat outside the dining room with no one to talk to and no food because I was too nervous to join the lunch line. I kept looking around hoping to see someone I knew but I never saw anyone.
Lunch ended and I went to have my art class. I was the first one there and not even my teacher was there yet. So I sat at my desk and started drawing some pictures. I didn’t notice the rest of the class walking in or the girl who was standing behind me till I was surprised by the voice, "So what are you drawing " It was a girl who had really long hair. She ended up being my best friend and one of the kindest and liveliest girls I knew.
In the next class meeting, the teacher asked us to talk about the past holiday. I was glad to make some new friends in the class. The first day of high school was hard for me but I got through it.
4. What do we know about the writer’s science class
A. She was 15 minutes late for it. B. She made some new friends.

The English spoken in Australia, Great Britain and America has a surprising number of differences. Here are some of the common differences that you will find between these three kinds of English.
Pronunciation among the three types of English can be different. In American English, the “r” at the end of a word almost always affects its pronunciation, while in Australian and British English, the “r” is often silent. Australian English is unique due to the fact that many words have sounds that are gone. Instead of saying “good day”, Australian speakers say “g’ day”. The main pronunciation difference between the three, however, is the pronunciation of the vowel (元音) sounds.
Not only do the three types of English sound different, but they are also spelled differently. In some ways, the spelling shows the difference in pronunciation. For example, Americans use the word airplane. In Great Britain, the word is aeroplane, and it is pronounced with an “o” sound. Another example is the word aluminium, which is the UK spelling, and aluminum is the US spelling. Can you find the difference In this example, the Australian spelling is the same as the UK spelling.
Another common spelling difference between British English and American English is the use of - our or -or at the end of a word. For example, in the UK, colour, flavour, honour are words that all end with -our. In America, they are spelled with -or endings. In Australia, the -our spelling is almost universal.
Also, the endings -re and -er are different between different English dialects. In America, you will go to the theater or fitness center, while in Britain you will visit the theatre or fitness centre. Again, Australian English follows the British way.
8. What’s the author’s purpose in writing this text
A. To show that English has developed differently in different countries
B. To tell the differences between American, British and Australian English
C. To encourage us to explore the differences of English used in different countries
D. To suggest we speak different English when we are chatting with people from different countries
9. The main pronunciation difference between American English and British English lies in______.
A. the sound of “r” at the end of words B. the words with sounds that are gone
C. the vowel sounds of some words D. the last sound of many words
10 Which of the following words belongs to the Australian spelling
A. Airplane B. Flavor. C. Theater D. Aluminium
11. After reading the text, we can learn that______.
A. Australian English has become the most popular English now
B. Australian English is more difficult to learn than American English
C. Australian English is more difficult to follow than American English
D. Australian English follows the British way more than the American way
D
If you want to become a fluent English speaker, you should take some advice: there are four skills in learning English. They are listening, speaking, reading and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening.
Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentences, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc.
There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammar - or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you encounter, but the fact you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.
As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening.
For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening, you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes. If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically, and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.
12. According to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills
A. Reading and listening B. Reading and writing
C. Writing and speaking D. Speaking and listening
13. To improve your reading, when you read you should ____.
A. look up all the new words in the dictionary. B. think about what you are reading actively
C. spend more time studying grammar D. copy as many words and sentences as possible
14. The underlined words “encounter” in paragraph 3 probably be replaced by_____.
A. meet by accident B. discover C. find on purpose D. look for
15. The author seems to agree with the view that _____.
A. everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every day
B. you needn’t practice listening if you keep in reading every day
C. being good at reading is helpful in improving your listening
D. you should take notes of whatever you are hearing

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。
Peter woke up early in the morning. He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible.
“Why are you in such a hurry, early bird ” Mum asked him. “We will have an English spelling test today, Mum,” Peter said. “Mr. White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100 scores. I’ve been studying the word list since last week. Although the test is difficult, I am well prepared for it.”
Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove him to school. At last, it was time for the students to have a test. “Responsibility,” Mr. White started. Peter wrote the word on his test paper quickly and confidently.
“The second word: contribution,” Mr. White said.
“So easy,” Peter thought. He quickly wrote the word down.
Thirty minutes later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. “I’m going to mark your papers,” he told the class. After marking the test papers, Mr. White said, “Three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter, David and Mary got full marks on the spelling test!”
Mr. White praised them. Meanwhile, he gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter got an English-Chinese dictionary —the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he waved it highly. “This is my happiest moment.” Peter shouted.
After Mr. White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his performance. All of a sudden, the word “contribution” confused him. It didn’t seem right. Peter began to the word. “C-o-n-t-r-i-b-u-s-i-o-n,” he whispered. It was wrong. “What should I do ” Peter asked himself, staring at the red full marks.
注意：1.续写词数应为150词左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Peter was lost in thought.

Dear Xiaotian,
I’m sorry to hear that you are not interested in learning English and feel quite upset. However, the situation is easy to change if you take my advice. My suggestions are as follows.
First of all, you should watch English movies and TV series. It can not only improve your listening skills, but also help you understand cultural differences. Besides, read English novels, ranging from children’s books to classics before the class and after the class every day. Only in this way can you get more chances to expose yourself to English, which will help you learn more vocabulary in heart and improve your interest in English.
I hope my suggestions will be helpful for you and you can improve your English.
Yours,
LiHua

【答案】One Possible Version
Peter was lost in thought. “Should I return the dictionary If so, I would lose what I have expected for a long time. But, if not, I can’t persuade myself to pretend to be as calm as nothing happened.” Suddenly Mum’s words flew into his mind: “We ought to be honest.” Without any hesitation, holding the dictionary and the test paper in hand, Peter approached to Mr. White quickly. Being praised for honesty in front of the class, Peter was very delighted and decided to get full marks in the next test.
A month later, Peter happily told his mother a piece of good news. He would be given the title An honesty boy by the school the next day. Hearing the news, as excited as Peter, Mum kissed Peter on the cheek, saying “I feel so proud of you for your good virtue, honey.” At school, Mr. White handed the dictionary to Peter once again, saying it was not for his score but for his good quality. Laughter lingering around the classroom, Peter set an example to other students that honesty is the best policy.

Sharon, Aged 22
The most important thing to keep in mind when going into high school is to be yourself. Besides, I don’t know what your middle school was like, but high school teachers will not care about things such as how much homework you already have in one night. It’s best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need.
Frank, Aged 21
I think almost every kid feels both nervous and excited before their first day. You will probably love it. I know I did. You should join in some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck！
Eddie, Aged 20
When I started high school I was really nervous too, especially since I had been home-schooled all through middle school and didn’t really know anyone, I suppose the best advice would be to just relax. The first couple of days can be a little bit hard, but things will become easier after you know it.
David, Aged 19
I’m not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening. But you’ll get used to it. Don’t be afraid of anyone; upperclassmen will pick on you more if you let them know you’re afraid. Just take it easy. Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly. After the first week it’s really not bad at all. Don’t worry.

A. Teachers are quite strict.
B. Students often stay up at night.

Do you still remember what happened when you went to school on the first day I still remember my interesting first day of school. On that day, I hurried to my science class in the morning and found a seat in the back .I waited there for 15 minutes before the bell rang. The science teacher told us about some class rules. No one talked to me, nor did I talk to anyone else. I was one of those very shy girls. After the science class, I had an English class. I thought it would be boring but it turned out to be very funny. When the classes of the morning ended, I went to lunch. I sat outside the dining room with no one to talk to and no food because I was too nervous to join the lunch line. I kept looking around hoping to see someone I knew but I never saw anyone.
Lunch ended and I went to have my art class. I was the first one there and not even my teacher was there yet. So I sat at my desk and started drawing some pictures. I didn’t notice the rest of the class walking in or the girl who was standing behind me till I was surprised by the voice, "So what are you drawing " It was a girl who had really long hair. She ended up being my best friend and one of the kindest and liveliest girls I knew.
In the next class meeting, the teacher asked us to talk about the past holiday. I was glad to make some new friends in the class. The first day of high school was hard for me but I got through it.

The English spoken in Australia, Great Britain and America has a surprising number of differences. Here are some of the common differences that you will find between these three kinds of English.
Pronunciation among the three types of English can be different. In American English, the “r” at the end of a word almost always affects its pronunciation, while in Australian and British English, the “r” is often silent. Australian English is unique due to the fact that many words have sounds that are gone. Instead of saying “good day”, Australian speakers say “g’ day”. The main pronunciation difference between the three, however, is the pronunciation of the vowel (元音) sounds.
Not only do the three types of English sound different, but they are also spelled differently. In some ways, the spelling shows the difference in pronunciation. For example, Americans use the word airplane. In Great Britain, the word is aeroplane, and it is pronounced with an “o” sound. Another example is the word aluminium, which is the UK spelling, and aluminum is the US spelling. Can you find the difference In this example, the Australian spelling is the same as the UK spelling.
Another common spelling difference between British English and American English is the use of - our or -or at the end of a word. For example, in the UK, colour, flavour, honour are words that all end with -our. In America, they are spelled with -or endings. In Australia, the -our spelling is almost universal.
Also, the endings -re and -er are different between different English dialects. In America, you will go to the theater or fitness center, while in Britain you will visit the theatre or fitness centre. Again, Australian English follows the British way.
8. What’s the author’s purpose in writing this text
A. To show that English has developed differently in different countries
B. To tell the differences between American, British and Australian English
C. To encourage us to explore the differences of English used in different countries
D. To suggest we speak different English when we are chatting with people from different countries
9. The main pronunciation difference between American English and British English lies in______.
A. the sound of “r” at the end of words B. the words with sounds that are gone
C. the vowel sounds of some words D. the last sound of many words
10 Which of the following words belongs to the Australian spelling
A. Airplane B. Flavor. C. Theater D. Aluminium
11. After reading the text, we can learn that______.
A. Australian English has become the most popular English now
B. Australian English is more difficult to learn than American English
C. Australian English is more difficult to follow than American English
D. Australian English follows the British way more than the American way
D
If you want to become a fluent English speaker, you should take some advice: there are four skills in learning English. They are listening, speaking, reading and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening.
Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentences, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc.
There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammar - or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you encounter, but the fact you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.
As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening.
For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening, you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes. If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically, and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.
12. According to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills
A. Reading and listening B. Reading and writing
C. Writing and speaking D. Speaking and listening
13. To improve your reading, when you read you should ____.
A. look up all the new words in the dictionary. B. think about what you are reading actively
C. spend more time studying grammar D. copy as many words and sentences as possible
14. The underlined words “encounter” in paragraph 3 probably be replaced by_____.
A. meet by accident B. discover C. find on purpose D. look for
15. The author seems to agree with the view that _____.
A. everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every day
B. you needn’t practice listening if you keep in reading every day
C. being good at reading is helpful in improving your listening
D. you should take notes of whatever you are hearing

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。
Peter woke up early in the morning. He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible.
“Why are you in such a hurry, early bird ” Mum asked him. “We will have an English spelling test today, Mum,” Peter said. “Mr. White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100 scores. I’ve been studying the word list since last week. Although the test is difficult, I am well prepared for it.”
Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove him to school. At last, it was time for the students to have a test. “Responsibility,” Mr. White started. Peter wrote the word on his test paper quickly and confidently.
“The second word: contribution,” Mr. White said.
“So easy,” Peter thought. He quickly wrote the word down.
Thirty minutes later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. “I’m going to mark your papers,” he told the class. After marking the test papers, Mr. White said, “Three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter, David and Mary got full marks on the spelling test!”
Mr. White praised them. Meanwhile, he gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter got an English-Chinese dictionary —the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he waved it highly. “This is my happiest moment.” Peter shouted.
After Mr. White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his performance. All of a sudden, the word “contribution” confused him. It didn’t seem right. Peter began to the word. “C-o-n-t-r-i-b-u-s-i-o-n,” he whispered. It was wrong. “What should I do ” Peter asked himself, staring at the red full marks.
注意：1.续写词数应为150词左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Peter was lost in thought.

【答案】One possible version:
Dear Xiaotian,
I’m sorry to hear that you are not interested in learning English and feel quite upset. However, the situation is easy to change if you take my advice. My suggestions are as follows.
First of all, you should watch English movies and TV series. It can not only improve your listening skills, but also help you understand cultural differences. Besides, read English novels, ranging from children’s books to classics before the class and after the class every day. Only in this way can you get more chances to expose yourself to English, which will help you learn more vocabulary in heart and improve your interest in English.
I hope my suggestions will be helpful for you and you can improve your English.
Yours,
LiHua

Peter was lost in thought. “Should I return the dictionary If so, I would lose what I have expected for a long time. But, if not, I can’t persuade myself to pretend to be as calm as nothing happened.” Suddenly Mum’s words flew into his mind: “We ought to be honest.” Without any hesitation, holding the dictionary and the test paper in hand, Peter approached to Mr. White quickly. Being praised for honesty in front of the class, Peter was very delighted and decided to get full marks in the next test.
A month later, Peter happily told his mother a piece of good news. He would be given the title An honesty boy by the school the next day. Hearing the news, as excited as Peter, Mum kissed Peter on the cheek, saying “I feel so proud of you for your good virtue, honey.” At school, Mr. White handed the dictionary to Peter once again, saying it was not for his score but for his good quality. Laughter lingering around the classroom, Peter set an example to other students that honesty is the best policy.
