Module 2 Highlights of My Senior Year Section Ⅰ Introduction & Reading-Pre-reading
The high school prom is the first formal social event for most American teenagers.It has also been a rite (仪式，典礼) of passage for young Americans for nearly a century.
The word “prom” was first used in the 1890s , referring to formal dances in which the guests of a party would display (展示) their fashions and dancing skills during the evening’s grand march. In the United States, parents and educators have come to regard the prom as an important lesson in social skills.Therefore, proms have been held every year in high schools for students to learn proper social behavior.
The first high school proms were held in the 1920s in America.By the 1930s, proms were common across the country.For many older Americans, the prom was a modest, home-grown affair in the school gymnasium.Prom-goers were well dressed but not fancily dressed up for the occasion: boys wore jackets and ties and girls wore their Sunday dresses.Couples danced to music provided by a local amateur band or a record player.After the 1960s，and especially since the 1980s, the high school prom in many areas has become a serious exercise in excessive (过度的) consumption, with boys renting expensive tuxedos (晚礼服) and girls wearing designer gowns (女式礼服). Stretch limousines (超长豪华轿车) were hired to drive the prom-goers to expensive restaurants or discos for an all-night celebration.
Whether simple or lavish (浪费的), proms have always been more or less frightening events for adolescents who worry about self-image and fitting in with their peers.Prom night can be a terrible experience for socially awkward teens or for those who do not date with others.Since the 1990s, alternative proms have been organized in some areas to meet the needs of particular students.For example, proms organized by and for homeless youth were reported.There were also “couple-free” proms to which all students are welcome.

高中最后一年的精彩回放
(乔安娜·塞克斯)
[第1～2段译文]
我简直无法相信我的学校生活就要结束了。毕业舞会来了也结束了，我也最终获得了高中毕业证书。考试结束，这是一件好事。我太兴奋了，简直无法理清思绪！想想过几天我就要永远走出校门了，似乎有一种别样的感觉。我打算做的第一件事就是度一个长假！
同时，我发觉自己在回顾自己高中最后一年的时光，追忆发生过的所有美好往事。我决定把它们写下来，以便多年以后的某一天再次阅读时，往事就会涌上心头。
There’s so much to remember?. One of the best things about this year has been working as? an arts editor for this newspaper. I’ve so enjoyed it! I love writing, and working on? this paper is my first step towards becoming a journalist, so this has been a real success? for me.
Something else I’ve greatly enjoyed is working as a peermediator， someone who helps students to settle problems that they have with other students. At the start of the school year, we were given training in how to do this, and it’s clear that this kind of work can really help people.I think I’ll continue to work as a mediator when I go to college.
During the Easter vacation, I went on a short school skiing trip to the Rocky Mountains. I’ve been skiing quite a few times, but never with the school, and since two good friends came on the trip, we had great fun racing each other down the ski slopes.It’s well-known that Americans are competitive， and I did enjoy it whenever I won our races！

[第3～5段译文], 要记住的事情太多了。今年最得意的事情之一是当上这份报纸的美术编辑。我真喜欢这份工作！我喜欢写作并且这份报纸工作为我日后做记者迈出了第一步，所以这对我而言是真正的成功。,另外一件我非常乐意做的事情是做同龄人的调解员，就是帮助学生们解决同学之间的问题。新学年开始时，我们接受了培训，学习怎样做这份工作。很明显，这种工作确实能帮助人。我想当我上大学后我会继续做调解员的工作。,复活节假期期间，我参加了学校组织的落基山短期滑雪旅行。我以前滑过好多次雪，但从来没跟同学一起去过。我的两个好朋友也一起去了，我们比赛着冲下雪坡，玩得非常痛快。众所周知，美国人争强好胜，每当我赢得了比赛，我都会为此欣喜万分！
Other things I’m pleased about— getting good grades on my final exams, and receiving the senior prize for English Literature. I was given a car by my parents so I’ve been able to drive to school, which is brilliant. And of course， I’ll never forget beingelected to the student council. I really enjoyed meeting the teachers and telling them how we, the students， feel about things, and what we think should happen in the school！
All these things have been wonderful. But I have to say, the highlight of the year was the senior prom. For an American girl, it’s so important that you have a good time at the prom. Well, I did! Daniel, a boy in my English class, asked me to go to the prom with him, and I was so pleased — I’d been hoping he would ask me. I found a dress that suited me perfectly， and had my hair specially done on the day of the prom. It took two hours but it was worth it, as everyone told me I looked very elegant！ A group of us rented a nice car to take us to the prom. The food was delicious and I ate so much that I had to stop dancing for a while！ We shared a table with some good friends, and laughed and told jokes all evening. It’s a great pity that it’s probably the last time this will happen.

[第6～7段译文], 令我感到高兴的其他事情还有——期末考试取得优异的成绩、英国文学课获得最高奖项。父母送了我一辆车，所以我能够开车去上学，这真是太棒了。当然，我也永远忘不了当选为学生会成员的经历。我确实喜欢和老师们碰面，告诉他们我们学生有什么想法，认为学校里应该有些什么变化！,所有这些事情都非常精彩。不过我不得不说，这一年最精彩的还要数毕业舞会。对美国女孩来说，在舞会上玩得开心太重要了。而我，就玩得非常开心！和我同上英语课的男孩丹尼尔邀请我和他一起参加舞会，我太高兴了——我一直盼望着他来邀请我。我找到一件非常适合我的晚礼服，毕业舞会那天还专门去做了头发。这花了我两个小时，不过很值得，因为每个人都说我看上去非常端庄典雅！我们一群人租了一辆非常漂亮的车去参加舞会。吃的东西美味极了，我吃了很多，不得不在跳舞时停下来歇一会儿！我们和几位好朋友坐在一张桌子，整个晚上都在嬉闹，都在讲笑话。真遗憾，这样美妙的夜晚很可能不会再有了。
Daniel and I danced most of the dances together. But the big surprise of the evening waswhen I was elected prom queen！ This was so unexpected， and I can’t tell you how good this made me feel! After the prom, a group of us drove down to the coast, and sat on the beach in our long dresses and dinner jackets. I shall never forget watching the sunrise over the sea — it was unforgettable！ Afterwards， we went and had an enormous breakfast in a nearby hotel — it was a perfect ending to a perfect school year.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
I was very excited on the first day of high school! I had P．E. for the first period. We hurriedly gathered in the locker room (衣帽间) when the headmaster began to speak, “Good morning, boys and girls! Welcome to the first day of the great new school year. We will begin with the pledge (誓言) of loyalty.”
I pulled my shirt over my head and my right hand immediately rested over my heart. A few tears came to my eyes as every time I pledged. I thought of my grandpa. He had died almost a year before, but I still missed him every day. Grandpa served in World War Ⅱ and the flag had a very special meaning for him.
The next morning in the locker room, I noticed something strange. Some girls talked through the pledge. In the morning after that, even fewer did the pledge, including the teachers. By the second week of school, I was the only girl in the whole locker room that did the pledge.
The next morning, I hid in the bathroom to change clothes and pledge. There I couldn’t see the flag and felt guilty to be hiding like that. I kept hiding for the next week and felt worse.
I spent a weekend gathering up my nerve. On Monday, I changed into my gym clothes right away and was standing by my locker when the headmaster began morning announcements. The pledge started and I put my hand over my heart.
A girl nearby locked her locker and asked, “Why are you doing that？” She looked confused.
“My grandpa fought in World War Ⅱ and he died last year，” I said. “I’m doing it for him.”
She felt embarrassed and looked away. “Oh，” she said.
Over the next few weeks, more girls questioned me about the pledge. I gave them all that same answer.
I never inspired other girls to do the pledge along with me. They made a choice; I made mine. I was doing it for Grandpa, but more than that, I was doing it for Grandpa raised me to be proud of my country and pride didn’t stop.

In America, after middle school comes high school, which includes grades 9 through 12. Students are required to take certain subjects like English, social studies, math, science, and physical education. In addition, they choose among elective subjects to complete their high school education. Electives include subjects in technology, music, art, and foreign languages.
Each student in the school has their own locker for books and personal items. This convenience saves students from carrying textbooks, and allows students a small space they can decorate with posters and favorite objects.
Most high schools have at least one sports team that competes in local events, and all students are encouraged to be involved in athletics. Schools often offer football, baseball and softball (垒球), basketball, volleyball, tennis, and soccer. Some may even have sports like golf, swimming, gymnastics and cross-country skiing.
Many high school students have part-time jobs by the age of 15 or 16, some even earlier. Their first jobs are often babysitting or cutting lawns, but later they will likely get a job at a fast-food restaurant, video store, or clothing shop.
Sixteen years old is legal driving age in most states, and students usually want to own a car as soon as they can. Some parents allow their children to drive a family vehicle, and may even buy a car as a graduation present. Others prefer that their sons and daughters earn enough to purchase a used vehicle. Regardless, many teenagers feel it’s a necessity to own a car, and will do whatever it takes to be able to drive.
Each school holds certain yearly (一年一次的) activities for the entire school body, such as homecoming, prom night, holiday celebrations, etc.
Homecoming is celebrated each fall, usually on a weekend, and events leading up to it may last all week. While homecoming is celebrated differently at each school, it usually includes a parade and the crowning of the Homecoming King and Queen, and ends with a football game and school dance.

A delightful-looking robot called MEDi, or Medicine and Engineering Designing Intelligence, is being used to help make doctors’ visits less painful.
The Alerta Children’s Hospital in Canada purchased four of the MEDi robots earlier this year. The bionic (能力超人的) friends hang out with children in the waiting room and also accompany them during different procedures, according to RxRobots, the group that created MEDi. The MEDi’s purpose is to help children cope with pain and reduce their stress. The robots have produced real results. According to a study done at the hospital, kids who interact with a MEDi robot reportedly experience 50 percent less pain during medical procedures than those who do not. “Parents told us that when they left the hospital, their children said almost nothing about the needle and told everyone about the robot，” Tanya Beran, founder and chief scientific officer at RxRobots, told CNBC of MEDi’s success at the children’s hospital.
The two-foot-tall robots can relieve patients’ anxiety by telling stories or playing games with the kids. MEDi robots are also programmed to speak several different languages, and are equipped with facial recognition capabilities (能力). The robots can interact with the children during various types of procedures like blood tests. Not only do the robots comfort the children, but they also make the kids more willing to work with medical staff.
“Our research shows that when children interact with MEDi robots, they are more cooperative in the procedure，” Beran said. “This means that the procedure is completed more quickly, resulting in greater health care efficiency (效率)．” Beran said that MEDi robots are also a hit with parents. “Knowing that there is something out there that eases the stress, anxiety and sometimes traumatic (创伤的) experiences, is great，” Sheila Sousa, the mother of an 8-year-old patient said.

A．help foreign patients communicate with doctors
B．assist doctors in completing medical procedures

10．The underlined word “relieve” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”．
A．cause B．reduce
C．increase D．remove
解析：选B 词义猜测题。根据第二段的“The MEDi’s purpose ... reduce their stress.”可以猜测出这里的relieve与reduce同义，表示“减少”。因此选B项。
11．We can learn from the passage that MEDi ________.
A．is bad-looking
B．is one foot tall
C．can recognize faces
D．can only speak English
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第三段的“... and are equipped with facial recognition capabilities(能力)．”可知，机器人有识别人脸的能力。因此选C项。
12．Where does the passage probaly come from?
A．A travel guide.
B．A science magazine.
C．A book review.
D．A storybook.
解析：选B 文章出处题。文章主要介绍了儿童医院使用的名叫MEDi的机器人，很可能选自科学杂志。因此选B项。

Dear John，
I received your letter just now. Don’t worry me. I’m getting on well with my research works in the lab. But in my surprise you say you will give up learn English. The reason is because you have not done well in the last exam and you have lost interest. I’m afraid I can’t agree to you. I know it’s not easy to learn English. But English is wide used in the world today and it will be important tool in your future work. Besides, it is becoming more and more important in our daily life. If you study hard, and you will succeed. Do remember that where there is a will, there is a way.
Looking forward to hear from you.
Yours，
Li Ping

课外活动
[第1段译文]
在美国，社交能力的培养被看作和智力技能的培养同等重要。为了帮助学生发展这些社交技能，学校安排大量的课外活动，换句话说就是在教室里上完课后进行的活动。当决定接纳哪些学生时，老板和大学都寻找那些在多个领域有技能的学生。分数固然重要，课外活动也不容忽视。通过参加这些活动，学生们展示自己的特殊才能、领导能力和与他人的相处的能力。
Competitive sports?， for example, baseball, are probably the most popular of all the after-school activities. This is because?， for many American parents, it is important that their children , particularly boys, learn how to compete successfully. Young people are encouraged to take part in team sports such as football and basketball, since these games teach you to have the “winning spirit”. For some students and their parents, high school sport is considered more important than academic achievements.
During the long summer holidays, it is a custom for American children to spend several weeks at summer camps. There are thousands of camps, and they can be found all over the country. What these camps offer is an opportunity to take part in many different kinds of outdoor activities, for example, horse riding and water skiing. Older teenagers are more likely to get summer jobs or go camping with a group of friends. Many go backpacking in the mountains of the west.

[第2～3段译文]
竞技体育运动，比如棒球，可能是所有课外活动中最受欢迎的。这是因为，对许多美国父母来说，他们的孩子，尤其是男孩，学习如何成功地竞争是很重要的。年轻人被鼓励参与团队性的体育运动，比如足球和篮球，因为这些运动教你拥有“胜利精神”。对一些学生和他们的父母来说，高中体育运动比学业成绩更重要。
在漫长的暑假期间，在夏令营度过几个星期已成为美国孩子的习惯。有数千个营地，在全国的各个地方都能找到。这些野营提供的是参加各种不同的户外活动的机会，例如骑马和滑水运动。年龄稍大的青少年更有可能找到暑期工作或者和一帮朋友去野营。许多人到西部山区背包旅行。

二、勤练高考题型，多练自能生巧
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Summer time is in full swing, which for many kids means being happily removed from the classroom strictness and the stress of daily homework. But as kids and parents enjoy their well-deserved break from school work, we can all take a more active role in ensuring their minds don’t simply melt away into a mess of video games, texting and social media. Summer is the perfect time to encourage children to read. A recent study, conducted by CommonSenseMedia, has found that the older kids get the less likely they are to read for pleasure.
There has been a drop in reading among all kids, especially adolecents over time. And reading for fun drops off dramatically as children grow. The study found that more than half of all nine-year-olds read daily for fun. But those numbers drop to just 27 percent among 13-year-olds and even lower for older teens. In 1984, 31 percent of 17-year-olds said they read every day for pleasure. But that number has dropped to disturbing 19 percent today.
It’s not just the kids who are reading less. Parents also read to their children less than ever. A recent survey shows this busier generation of parents read to their children just an average of 30 minutes per day — down from an average of 45 minutes per day in 1999.
In today’s world, there are more distractions for children, and reading doesn’t always stand high on that list. Part of the decline is surely due to the technology impact on children. But the digital revolution also means opportunity. There are more platforms than ever for children to read: from tablets (平板电脑) to e-Readers. In this brave new world, we must find more creative ways to engage our kids and ensure that we are raising a new generation of readers.
语篇解读：本文主要介绍了孩子们由于父母繁忙等原因读书越来越少，因此提醒成人要关注孩子的阅读习惯。
1．One of the main reasons why children read less is that ________.
A．their reading proficiency is declining
B．parents are too busy to read to them
C．they are faced with the homework stress
D．books written for them are not attractive
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“this busier generation of parents ... average of 30 minutes per day”可知，现在的父母们每天给孩子读书量减少是因为他们很繁忙。
2．How did the author describe the decline of reading in Paragraph 2?
A．By conducting a survey.
B．By giving examples.
C．By listing figures.
D．By telling a story.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第二段中不同年龄的孩子读书的比例可知，这一部分主要是通过列举数字来描述阅读量的减少。
3．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.
A．digital revolution can benefit people’s reading habits
B．it is easier for children to be influenced by technology
C．tablets and e-Readers are really bad reading platforms
D．distractions must be removed to improve children’s reading
解析：选A 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But the digital revolution also means opportunity.”可知，数字革命对于人们而言也是一种机会，因此对于人们的阅读习惯是有益的。
4．The author’s purpose of writing this passage is to ________.
A．explain why kids don’t like reading
B．emphasize the importance of reading
C．give tips on how to help children read
D．remind adults of their children’s reading
解析：选D 写作目的题。本文主要介绍了孩子们由父母繁忙等原因读书越来越少，因此提醒成人要关注孩子的阅读习惯。

一、写作要领
介绍学校生活，一般分为两种：一种是给出表达的主题、提纲材料；另一种是开放性作文，只给出主题或简单的提示。第一种作文较简单一些，只要按照所给材料把主题表达清楚，不遗漏要点即可；第二种作文复杂一些，要发挥主观想象，但不能偏离主题。这就要求在写作文之前要列出写作要点，关键词汇和句型。
若写具体活动时，还需注意以下基本要求：
1．主题明确，内容充实。文章中的故事要有头有尾，要有高潮，要把何人、何事、何地、何因等几方面交代清楚，避免空乏、笼统的话。通过对人物、事物和景物的描写，表现出故事的主题和作者的思想感情。
2．层次分明，有条有理。记叙文除了有开头语及高潮性的结尾外，还要注意描写的层次要清楚，挑选一些典型事例或细节加以合理安排，用最简单易行的方法，按时间的先后顺序进行描写。
3．主次分明，详略得当。叙述时还应注意主题鲜明、清楚、具体，内容真实感人，抓住典型事例。对中心事件和最能表现中心思想的地方，即主要情节加以详细描写，对次要情节则少写，不重要的东西可不写。
二、增分佳句
1．How time flies!
2．I’ve made friends with ...
3．I’ve made rapid/great progress (in ... )
4．We did ... in our spare time.
5．I took part in different/all kinds of after-school activities.
6．When looking back at ...
7．I was impressed with ...
8.I won the competition.
9．I stood out in the English Speech Contest.
10．I tried out for (参加选拔) after-school interest groups.

Ⅱ.阅读理解
For many young people, having to attend school with a parent would be their worst nightmare. However, Senior 1 student Li Qinmei is happy taking her father with her as long as she can go to classes. He is disabled and unable to take care of himself.
The 16-year-old country girl in Zhucheng, Shandong Province has experienced one disaster after another in her short life. Li lost her mother at three. Four years later, her father became paralyzed after a tractor accident. At 12, her misfortune returned with the death of her grandma. Since then she has been forced to shoulder all the responsibility for her broken family.
Li learnt to cook and managed to live a life with an allowance of only 24 yuan per month. The most difficult thing she had to deal with was helping her father bathe, dress and use the toilet as he could hardly move. “I felt embarrassed, and so did my dad. It was really hard at the beginning，” she recalled.
During most of her junior school years, Li went to classes only once a month as her father was seriously ill at the time.
“I taught myself at home and asked teachers for help on my school days，” she explained.
Li’s hard work paid off this fall. She was admitted by Zhucheng No.1 High School, a local key school, based on her good performance in the entrance exams.
The school offered Li and her father a room on campus to live in so she could look after him during breaks.
Once in a while, Li felt sad when she saw her classmates going shopping or hanging_out with friends.
“I envy them sometimes because they have both mum and dad to look after them. However, I soon feel relieved as I still have my dad with me，” she taught her to be strong.
“I believe I will go on and continue my studies at a good university，” she said, in a confident tone.
Her teacher Mr. Wang has the same belief. Li made great progress in the recent monthly exams.“She works hard and is always eager to excel. It’s not easy for her never to be late for school, but she has managed to make it work，” Wang said.
1．Li Qinmei has to shoulder the family because ________.
A．her father was badly injured in a car accident
B．her mother passed away when she was 3
C．her grandma died when she was 12
D．misfortune in her life forced her to do so
解析：选D 细节理解题。从第二段内容可知D项正确。
2．From the passage we can infer that ________.
A．Li Qinmei doesn’t like others talking about her father
B．many young students hate going to school with their parents
C．Li Qinmei has made great progress in her study
D．Li Qinmei has lost three relatives and has to take care of her father
解析：选B 推理判断题。从第一段第一句“For many young people ... worst nightmare.”可知B项正确。
3．What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase “hanging out” in the passage?
A．playing outside
B．working hard
C．exchanging ideas
D．talking happily
解析：选A 词义猜测题。从画线句句意可知hanging out的含义为playing outside。
4．According to the passage, which statement is NOT true?
A．Li Qinmei was admitted to a local key school because of her good scores in the exams.
B．Li Qinmei is very embarrassed when she helps her father bathe.
C．Li Qinmei often goes to attend her father after class.
D．Li Qinmei is able to go to class on time though she has to attend her father.

单元加餐练（二） 第Ⅱ卷规范增分练
Ⅰ.语法填空
I still remember the happiest moment of my life. I decided to hold a party for my Italian friends while living in Florence, Italy. My friends didn’t speak any English. And I vividly remember __1__ (try) to only speak Italian in __2__ party. And then, someone asked me to tell a joke.
I don’t know if you know this, __3__ telling jokes in __4__ language is one of the most painful experiences you can imagine.
I began the joke.“C’era una volta (Once upon a time) ...”
Halfway through the joke, I began to get nervous, so I suddenly forgot the Italian words. And 30 Italians were staring at me, __5__ (wait) for the joke to come to an end. At the last minute, I remembered and completed the joke. I waited for the sound of crickets ... But instead I experienced a __6__ (thunder) laugh and a round of applause. I made dozens of Italians laugh, in their country, in their language.
__7__ today, that memory continues to be one of the __8__ (happy) moments I’ve ever experienced. And it’s the reason __9__， over the last four years, I __10__ (study) languages and now I can speak five: English, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and German.
语篇解读：作者曾经在为意大利朋友举办的聚会上，用意大利语讲了一个笑话，引来满场掌声。
1．trying remember doing sth. 意为“记得做过某事”。这里表示作者回忆往事。
2．the 这里的party特指作者为意大利朋友举办的聚会，故用定冠词the。
3．but but 在这里用于改变话题，此处表示“我不知道你是否了解，但用另外一种语言讲笑语是你能想象出的最痛苦的经历之一”。
4．another 由第一段的第三句可知，作者的母语是英语，此时却要用意大利语讲笑话，且结合语境可知，此处应用another，表示“另一”。
5．waiting wait for表示“等待”，Italians与wait for 之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，所以此处用现在分词，表示伴随。
6．thunderous 这里用形容词thunderous 修饰名词laugh, thunderous 意为“雷鸣般的”。
7．Until 由后面的continues可知，这个经历对作者的影响持续到今天。until today 意为“直到今天”。
8．happiest 根据后面表示范围的定语从句“I’ve ever experienced”可知空格处应用happy的最高级。另外，空格前的the 也暗示此处应用形容词的最高级。
9．why 先行词是the reason，关系副词在从句中充当原因状语，故用why。
10．have been studying 根据时间状语“over the last four years”及语境可知这里应用现在完成进行时。
Ⅱ.短文改错
Two years before, I traveled to Brazil and rented for a car. Unfortunate, I had an accident and hit another car, which made me staying in a hospital for at least two weeks.

Therefore, I told them interested stories and how I was enjoying Brazil. As a result, nobody knew truth. I still think that it was right to do so.
答案：第一句：before→ago; 去掉for
第二句：Unfortunate→Unfortunately; staying→stay
第三句：happened→had happened
第四句：will→would; and后加that
第五句：interested→interesting
第六句：truth前加the
第七句：think→thought

I have been studying in the senior high school for two years. In the past two years, I have learnt a lot. My field of vision is becoming wider, my knowledge is richer and my body is stronger.
I’m very busy at school. There are always a lot of things to do. To finish the learning tasks, I have to get up before seven o’clock, and go to bed at ten o’clock in the evening.
Sometimes I feel very tired and sleepy in class. But I never give up for I strongly believe the old saying: no pains, no gains.
Of course, there are also many interesting activities in our school. We can play basketball, listen to music and play games every day. These activities give us a lot of joy.
My school life is so colorful that I enjoy it very much.

Ⅰ.语法填空
I still remember the happiest moment of my life. I decided to hold a party for my Italian friends while living in Florence, Italy. My friends didn’t speak any English. And I vividly remember __1__ (try) to only speak Italian in __2__ party. And then, someone asked me to tell a joke.
I don’t know if you know this, __3__ telling jokes in __4__ language is one of the most painful experiences you can imagine.
I began the joke.“C’era una volta (Once upon a time) ...”
Halfway through the joke, I began to get nervous, so I suddenly forgot the Italian words. And 30 Italians were staring at me, __5__ (wait) for the joke to come to an end. At the last minute, I remembered and completed the joke. I waited for the sound of crickets ... But instead I experienced a __6__ (thunder) laugh and a round of applause. I made dozens of Italians laugh, in their country, in their language.
__7__ today, that memory continues to be one of the __8__ (happy) moments I’ve ever experienced. And it’s the reason __9__， over the last four years, I __10__ (study) languages and now I can speak five: English, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and German.
语篇解读：作者曾经在为意大利朋友举办的聚会上，用意大利语讲了一个笑话，引来满场掌声。
1．trying remember doing sth. 意为“记得做过某事”。这里表示作者回忆往事。
2．the 这里的party特指作者为意大利朋友举办的聚会，故用定冠词the。
3．but but 在这里用于改变话题，此处表示“我不知道你是否了解，但用另外一种语言讲笑语是你能想象出的最痛苦的经历之一”。
4．another 由第一段的第三句可知，作者的母语是英语，此时却要用意大利语讲笑话，且结合语境可知，此处应用another，表示“另一”。
5．waiting wait for表示“等待”，Italians与wait for 之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，所以此处用现在分词，表示伴随。
6．thunderous 这里用形容词thunderous 修饰名词laugh, thunderous 意为“雷鸣般的”。
7．Until 由后面的continues可知，这个经历对作者的影响持续到今天。until today 意为“直到今天”。
8．happiest 根据后面表示范围的定语从句“I’ve ever experienced”可知空格处应用happy的最高级。另外，空格前的the 也暗示此处应用形容词的最高级。
9．why 先行词是the reason，关系副词在从句中充当原因状语，故用why。
10．have been studying 根据时间状语“over the last four years”及语境可知这里应用现在完成进行时。
Ⅱ.短文改错
Two years before, I traveled to Brazil and rented for a car. Unfortunate, I had an accident and hit another car, which made me staying in a hospital for at least two weeks. I called my parents, but I did not tell them what happened. I knew that they will be worried about me because I was so far away, and my mother would not sleep if she knew the accident. Therefore, I told them interested stories and how I was enjoying Brazil. As a result, nobody knew truth. I still think that it was right to do so.
答案：第一句：before→ago; 去掉for
第二句：Unfortunate→Unfortunately; staying→stay
第三句：happened→had happened
第四句：will→would; and后加that
第五句：interested→interesting
第六句：truth前加the
第七句：think→thought

My Senior School Life
I have been studying in the senior high school for two years. In the past two years, I have learnt a lot. My field of vision is becoming wider, my knowledge is richer and my body is stronger.
I’m very busy at school. There are always a lot of things to do. To finish the learning tasks, I have to get up before seven o’clock, and go to bed at ten o’clock in the evening.
Sometimes I feel very tired and sleepy in class. But I never give up for I strongly believe the old saying: no pains, no gains.
Of course, there are also many interesting activities in our school. We can play basketball, listen to music and play games every day. These activities give us a lot of joy.
My school life is so colorful that I enjoy it very much.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
I was very excited on the first day of high school! I had P．E. for the first period. We hurriedly gathered in the locker room (衣帽间) when the headmaster began to speak, “Good morning, boys and girls! Welcome to the first day of the great new school year. We will begin with the pledge (誓言) of loyalty.”
I pulled my shirt over my head and my right hand immediately rested over my heart. A few tears came to my eyes as every time I pledged. I thought of my grandpa. He had died almost a year before, but I still missed him every day. Grandpa served in World War Ⅱ and the flag had a very special meaning for him.
The next morning in the locker room, I noticed something strange. Some girls talked through the pledge. In the morning after that, even fewer did the pledge, including the teachers. By the second week of school, I was the only girl in the whole locker room that did the pledge.
The next morning, I hid in the bathroom to change clothes and pledge. There I couldn’t see the flag and felt guilty to be hiding like that. I kept hiding for the next week and felt worse.
I spent a weekend gathering up my nerve. On Monday, I changed into my gym clothes right away and was standing by my locker when the headmaster began morning announcements. The pledge started and I put my hand over my heart.
A girl nearby locked her locker and asked, “Why are you doing that？” She looked confused.
“My grandpa fought in World War Ⅱ and he died last year，” I said. “I’m doing it for him.”
She felt embarrassed and looked away. “Oh，” she said.
Over the next few weeks, more girls questioned me about the pledge. I gave them all that same answer.
I never inspired other girls to do the pledge along with me. They made a choice; I made mine. I was doing it for Grandpa, but more than that, I was doing it for Grandpa raised me to be proud of my country and pride didn’t stop.

In America, after middle school comes high school, which includes grades 9 through 12. Students are required to take certain subjects like English, social studies, math, science, and physical education. In addition, they choose among elective subjects to complete their high school education. Electives include subjects in technology, music, art, and foreign languages.
Each student in the school has their own locker for books and personal items. This convenience saves students from carrying textbooks, and allows students a small space they can decorate with posters and favorite objects.
Most high schools have at least one sports team that competes in local events, and all students are encouraged to be involved in athletics. Schools often offer football, baseball and softball (垒球), basketball, volleyball, tennis, and soccer. Some may even have sports like golf, swimming, gymnastics and cross-country skiing.
Many high school students have part-time jobs by the age of 15 or 16, some even earlier. Their first jobs are often babysitting or cutting lawns, but later they will likely get a job at a fast-food restaurant, video store, or clothing shop.
Sixteen years old is legal driving age in most states, and students usually want to own a car as soon as they can. Some parents allow their children to drive a family vehicle, and may even buy a car as a graduation present. Others prefer that their sons and daughters earn enough to purchase a used vehicle. Regardless, many teenagers feel it’s a necessity to own a car, and will do whatever it takes to be able to drive.
Each school holds certain yearly (一年一次的) activities for the entire school body, such as homecoming, prom night, holiday celebrations, etc.
Homecoming is celebrated each fall, usually on a weekend, and events leading up to it may last all week. While homecoming is celebrated differently at each school, it usually includes a parade and the crowning of the Homecoming King and Queen, and ends with a football game and school dance.

A delightful-looking robot called MEDi, or Medicine and Engineering Designing Intelligence, is being used to help make doctors’ visits less painful.
The Alerta Children’s Hospital in Canada purchased four of the MEDi robots earlier this year. The bionic (能力超人的) friends hang out with children in the waiting room and also accompany them during different procedures, according to RxRobots, the group that created MEDi. The MEDi’s purpose is to help children cope with pain and reduce their stress. The robots have produced real results. According to a study done at the hospital, kids who interact with a MEDi robot reportedly experience 50 percent less pain during medical procedures than those who do not. “Parents told us that when they left the hospital, their children said almost nothing about the needle and told everyone about the robot，” Tanya Beran, founder and chief scientific officer at RxRobots, told CNBC of MEDi’s success at the children’s hospital.
The two-foot-tall robots can relieve patients’ anxiety by telling stories or playing games with the kids. MEDi robots are also programmed to speak several different languages, and are equipped with facial recognition capabilities (能力). The robots can interact with the children during various types of procedures like blood tests. Not only do the robots comfort the children, but they also make the kids more willing to work with medical staff.
“Our research shows that when children interact with MEDi robots, they are more cooperative in the procedure，” Beran said. “This means that the procedure is completed more quickly, resulting in greater health care efficiency (效率)．” Beran said that MEDi robots are also a hit with parents. “Knowing that there is something out there that eases the stress, anxiety and sometimes traumatic (创伤的) experiences, is great，” Sheila Sousa, the mother of an 8-year-old patient said.
语篇解读：这篇文章主要介绍了儿童医院使用的名叫MEDi的机器人，它能够减轻孩子在看病时的痛苦，缩短检查的时间。
9．MEDi robots are mainly used to ________.
A．help foreign patients communicate with doctors
B．assist doctors in completing medical procedures

二、勤练高考题型，多练自能生巧
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Summer time is in full swing, which for many kids means being happily removed from the classroom strictness and the stress of daily homework. But as kids and parents enjoy their well-deserved break from school work, we can all take a more active role in ensuring their minds don’t simply melt away into a mess of video games, texting and social media. Summer is the perfect time to encourage children to read. A recent study, conducted by Common Sense Media, has found that the older kids get the less likely they are to read for pleasure.
There has been a drop in reading among all kids, especially adolecents over time. And reading for fun drops off dramatically as children grow. The study found that more than half of all nine-year-olds read daily for fun. But those numbers drop to just 27 percent among 13-year-olds and even lower for older teens. In 1984, 31 percent of 17-year-olds said they read every day for pleasure. But that number has dropped to disturbing 19 percent today.
It’s not just the kids who are reading less. Parents also read to their children less than ever. A recent survey shows this busier generation of parents read to their children just an average of 30 minutes per day — down from an average of 45 minutes per day in 1999.
In today’s world, there are more distractions for children, and reading doesn’t always stand high on that list. Part of the decline is surely due to the technology impact on children. But the digital revolution also means opportunity. There are more platforms than ever for children to read: from tablets (平板电脑) to e-Readers. In this brave new world, we must find more creative ways to engage our kids and ensure that we are raising a new generation of readers.
语篇解读：本文主要介绍了孩子们由于父母繁忙等原因读书越来越少，因此提醒成人要关注孩子的阅读习惯。
1．One of the main reasons why children read less is that ________.
A．their reading proficiency is declining
B．parents are too busy to read to them
C．they are faced with the homework stress
D．books written for them are not attractive
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“this busier generation of parents ... average of 30 minutes per day”可知，现在的父母们每天给孩子读书量减少是因为他们很繁忙。
2．How did the author describe the decline of reading in Paragraph 2?
A．By conducting a survey.
B．By giving examples.
C．By listing figures.
D．By telling a story.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第二段中不同年龄的孩子读书的比例可知，这一部分主要是通过列举数字来描述阅读量的减少。
3．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.
A．digital revolution can benefit people’s reading habits
B．it is easier for children to be influenced by technology
C．tablets and e-Readers are really bad reading platforms
D．distractions must be removed to improve children’s reading
解析：选A 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But the digital revolution also means opportunity.”可知，数字革命对于人们而言也是一种机会，因此对于人们的阅读习惯是有益的。
4．The author’s purpose of writing this passage is to ________.
A．explain why kids don’t like reading
B．emphasize the importance of reading
C．give tips on how to help children read
D．remind adults of their children’s reading
解析：选D 写作目的题。本文主要介绍了孩子们由父母繁忙等原因读书越来越少，因此提醒成人要关注孩子的阅读习惯。
