Everything about the school seemed so difficult. When I got home, my parents said, “Youre nervous and thats okay. Everyone is afraid of high school.” I denied it. I wanted to be strong, so I refused to let anyone know about my fear, even my closest friends.On the first day I was late for every class and was constantly lost. The school seemed like a puzzle that I couldnt figure out. Was this how the whole year was going to be? I didnt think I could rise to this challenge, especially carrying a huge backpack that I could hardly lift. It was so big that I could knock someone out with it! Despite my fears, after the first week I finally had my schedule figured out. With the exception of falling up and down the stairs a couple of times and getting laughed at, high school was turning out to be not so bad. It was actually much better than middle school and much more challenging.Since then, Ive been elected（选举）vice monitor of my class, which wasnt much of a victory since only three people ran for the four positions. It is normal to be scared about a new school. Take a deep breath and relax. High school is something that any student can overcome. Make sure you participate in some out-of-class activities because youll find it easier to make friends. Try to do your best, even if it isnt straight As. Most important of all, be who you are, whether youre a “fool”， an athlete, or a lower grader. Dont try to pretend to be someone youre not. Now you know the true secrets of high school.21. The main reason for the authors fear on his first day is that _. Ahe was not familiar with the new surroundings Bhis schoolmates were unfriendly to him Che was unable to work out the puzzle Dhis schoolbag was too heavy for him to carry22. From the authors first day experience we can infer that _. Ahe didnt know the right way to class Bhe got to school before classes began Che was fond of the school immediately. Dhis home was far from the school23. After his first week at school, the author _. Awas still not accustomed to the schedule Bwas gradually used to the new school Cfound high school not so challenging as he had imagined Dran for monitor of his class against three other students24. According to the passage, the secret of the authors success lies mainly in_. Amaking more friends Bgetting more As at school Cbeing who he really is Djoining in out of class activitiesB Living in the wild can be hardFinding food and staying safe arent easyEach day, animals try to survive in their habitatsNot all animals get by on their own. Some animals form a close partnership with other kinds of animalsThese pairings are called symbiotic(共生的)relationships In a symbiotic relationship, the animals depend on each otherOne animal helps the other meet its needsSounds good, right? Not alwaysSome animals are not very kind to their partnersIn some cases, one animal meets its needs but hurts its partnerTake ticks(扁虱), for exampleThese insects suck blood to liveTo get blood, they attach themselves to other kinds of animalsTicks can pass germs（细菌）that cause disease instead of helping their hosts In other relationships, animals dont treat their partners so poorlyBoth animals benefit from living with the other animal Small animals called cleaner shrimps(清洁虾）have found a way of helping fishAs their name suggests, the shrimps clean the fishThey hang out at what scientists call a cleaning stationA fish stops byThen a shrimp climbs onto the fish and even steps into the fishs mouthThe shrimp uses its tiny claws to pick stuff off the fishs bodyThat can include dead skin and tiny pieces of food that can hurt the fishThe fish gets a nice cleaningThe shrimp enjoys a tasty meal of fish trashSmall birds called plovers（灰斑）are also in the cleaning businessThey have big customers-crocodiles.Crocodiles have long noses filled with sharp teeth. Cleaning them is funny. When a crocodile opens its mouth, the plover hops right inIt lets the plover eat small, harmful animals attached to the crocodiles teethThe plover gets an easy meal while the crocodile gets clean teeth25 The text is mainly about _A the hard life in the wild Bsome dangerous animalsCanimals living together Danimals in a symbiotic relationship26. According to the text, in a symbiotic relationship, _Aanimals depend on each other Bbirds depend on animals for foodCboth sides can get help Dnot all animals treat their partners well27. According to the text, it can be inferred that _Aliving in the wild can be simpleBdifferent animals have different living waysCcrocodiles mainly live on ploversDticks are useful to some animals CHumans were designed to stand upright. And yet in this modern world, too many of us spend our days with our heads lowered for a simple reason: were staring at the tiny screen of a smart phone.People spend an average of 2 to 4 hours each day with their neck bent while shooting off emails or texts. Thats 700 to 1,400 hours a year. The success of social media has led to a rapid development of bad smart phone posture（姿势）. The average adult head weighs 10 to 12 pounds when its in the upright position. However, because of the gravity, bending your head at a 15 degree puts 27 pounds of pressure on your spine(脊椎)；a 30 degree neck bend could equal 40 pounds of pressure; a 45 degree bend adds the force of 49 pounds, according to the research from Dr. Kenneth Hansraj from New York. These stresses may lead to many problems.Its no secret that correct posture is better for your back. According to the researchers, good posture is described as ears aligned(成一条直线) with the shoulders. In proper alignment, spinal stress disappeared. It is the best position for the spine. Standing tall doesnt just make you look better; it improves your health, too. Other studies have found good posture has even been connected to ways of behaving. People who have poorer posture often have poorer physical and emotional health.The researchers describe bad posture as “the head in a forward position and the shoulders dropping forward in a rounded position”. Bad posture has been connected to many medical problems, including headaches and other problems, depression and heart disease. This is why Hansraj said its important to be mindful of your smart phone posture. Though it is nearly impossible to avoid the technologies that cause these problems, people should make an effort to look at their phones with a correct posture.28. Through the underlined sentence in paragraph 2, the author wants to show that _.A. the social media have its bad side B. the social media have made a great successC. people have to use social media unavoidably D. more and more people are using smart phones29. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?A. Its healthy to bend your back regularly.B. Your back is getting exercise as you bend it.C. The average weight of an adult head always changes.D. The more you bend your neck, the more stresses your spine gets.30. Where does the text most probably come from?A. A text book. B. An advertisement. C. A health report. D. A book review第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Its important to learn how we can protect the environment. Here are 5R rules for us. Reduce.

It reads, “If I cannot make it, my father is 62 (you); and please remember 63 (sweep) my mothers tomb.” I was thrilled later to learn that he did make it.“Everyone knows its 64 (danger) to be a firefighter.

Two days into the journey, disaster struck, and the two men would begin the greatest challenge of their lives.The boat was loaded with tons of provisions, including 70 gallons of gasoline, 16 gallons of water, 50 Ibs of sar - dines for bait(鱼饵). They also had a mobile phone, kept safe in a plastic bag, a GPS, and a two-way radio. The two had never spoken before or worked together, but they liked fishing and both of them seemed to know what they were doing.Two days later, the weather was getting worse and worse. Salvador was trying to remain calm, but Cordoba was not prepared. He held on to the rail(围栏) for dear life as the waves crashed around them, vomiting(呕吐）and crying. When the storm finally passed, Salvador noticed that they had drifted far away from land. To make matters worse, the motor had stopped working. Salvador called his boss on the radio, but there was no response. Even worse was the fact that the GPS they has brought with them had stopped working.The two men had been at sea for two months. While Salvador had become accustomed to catching and eating the animals available to them, Cordobas mental health and physical health had begun to decrease. Once he got sick from eating raw seabirds, he refused to eat at all. His own depression, fear and malnutrition(营养不良）finally killed him, leaving Salvador alone on the boat.One day, after a terrible storm, Salvador found the sky was suddenly filled with shorebirds. He knew that he was heading for land at last. He must have been close. There, in the distance was a green Pacific atoll(环礁). It looked small and wild, but it was dry land and would likely have food and shelter.注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为l50左右；2. 至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语：3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。Paragraph 1: Salvador struggled until he reached what appeared to be a beach house. _Paragraph 2:Salvador was rescued(拯救). _20182019学年度下学期期中考试 英语答案阅读理解（A）21-24 AABC (B)25-27 DDB (C)28-30 ADC 七选五：31-35 CABGE完形填空：36-40 CDBCA 41-45 BACBD 46-50 ACADC 51-55 DDBDB语法填空：56.from
