Besides, I dont 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. Its best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to.Frank, Aged 21I 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 some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck!Eddie, Aged 20When I started high school I was really nervous too, especially since I had been homeschooled all through middle school and didnt 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 before you know it.David, Aged 19Im not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening(令人恐惧的). But youll get used to it. Dont be afraid of anyone; upperclassmen will pick on you more if you let them know youre 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 its really not bad at all. Dont worry.21.What can we infer from Sharon about high school?A. Teachers are quite strictB. Students often stay up at nightC. Teachers provide little care for studentsD. Students should make good use of their time22.How did Eddie feel on his first day of high school?A. Excited B. BoredC. Worried D. Relaxed.23.Who mentions the importance of friends?A. Frank B. DavidC. Sharon D. Eddie.BYou may think there are no differences between British and American people. After all, they speak the same language, dont they? If you ask a British or an American person, he will probably tell you that there are differences. And the differences are quite great.What do British people think American people are like? The British think American people are very strange. They make a lot of noise and they laugh too loudly. They are rich, and they only think about money. But the British do say that American people are kind, and friendly people. Theyre happy to help you if you are in trouble.What do Americans think of the British? Well, they think the British are cold and very unfriendly. They are not interested in success or in making lots of money. They think British is the best country in the world. They look down on other countries. But Americans say that the British are quite hard workers. They are brave and honest. And in time of trouble they face difficulties happily.You can see that these ideas can cause misunderstanding between the British and Americans. But when American and British people become friends, they usually find things are not as bad as they expected.24.Are there any differences between British and American people?A. Yes, but the differences are very small.B. Yes, and the differences are quite great.C. No, there isnt any difference between them.D. Some people think there are, but some people dont think so.25.What do British people think Americans are like?A. They are selfish. B. They are poor.C. They are strange people. D. They are unfriendly.26.What do the Americans think of the British?A. They are cold and unfriendly. B. They are kind.C. They are lazy. D. They are rich.27.The American and British people usually get along quite well_.A. when they become friends B. when they become enemiesC. after they fight D. after they quarrelCIn its early history，Chicago had floods frequently，especially in the spring，making the streets so muddy that people，horses，and carts got stuck.An old joke that was popular at the time went something like this：A man is stuck up to his waist in a muddy Chicago street.Asked if he needs help，he replies，No，thanks.Ive got a good horse under me.The city planner decided to build an underground drainage （排水） system，but there simply wasnt enough difference between the height of the ground level and the water level.The only two options were to lower the Chicago River or raise the city.An engineer named Ellis Chesbrough convinced the city that it had no choice but to build the pipes above ground and then cover them with dirt.This raised the level of the citys streets by as much as 12feet.This of course created a new problem：dirt practically buried the first floors of every building in Chicago.Building owners were faced with a choice：either change the first floors of their buildings into basements，and the second stories into main floors，or hoist the entire buildings to meet the new street level.Small wood-frame buildings could be lifted fairly easily.But what about large，heavy structures like Tremont Hotel，which was a six-story brick building？Thats where George Pullman came in.He had developed some house-moving skills successfully.To lift a big structure like the Tremont Hotel，Pullman would place thousands of jackscrews （螺旋千斤顶） beneath the buildings foundation.One man was assigned to operate each section of roughly 10jackscrews.At Pullmans signal each man tured his jackscrew the same amount at the same time，thereby raising the building slowly and evenly.Astonishingly，the Tremont Hotel stay open during the entire operation，and many of its guests didnt even notice anything was happening.Some people like to say that every problem has a solution.But in Chicagos early history，every engineering solution seemed to create a new problem.Now that Chicagos waste water was draining efficiently into the Chicago River，the citys next step was to clean the polluted river.28.The author mentions the joke to show _ .A. horses were fairly useful in ChicagoB. the Chicago people were particularly humorousC. Chicago was very dangerous in the springD. Chicagos streets were extremely muddy29.The underlined word hoist in Paragraph 4 means _ .A. change B. liftC. repair D. decorate30.The city planners were convinced by Ellis Chesbrough to _ .A. build the pipes above ground B. lower the Chicago RiverC. fight against heavy floods D. get rid of the street dirt31.The passage is mainly about the early Chicagos _ .A. popular life styles and their influencesB. environmental disasters and their causesC. engineering problems and their solutionsD. successful businessmen and their achievements.DIt was a comfortable sunny Sunday. I was going to meet an old university friend I hadnt seen for years, and was really excited.My train was running a little late, but that was no big problem - I could text him to say I would be delayed. He would understand. But where was my mobile phone? I had that familiar sinking feeling. Yes, Id left it at home.No mobile phone. Im sure Im not alone in feeling anxious, on edge and worried when I dont have my phone with me. In fact, I know Im not alone: two-thirds of us experience nomophobia (无手机恐惧症), the fear of being out of mobile phone contact.Thats according to a study from 2012 which surveyed 1,000 people in the UK about their relationship with mobile phones.It says we check our mobile phones 34 times a day, and that 18-24 year-olds, especially girls, are the most likely to suffer fear of being without their mobiles: 77% of them say they are unable to be apart from their phones for more than a few minutes.Do you have nomophobia ? You never turn your phone off You frequently(频繁地) check for texts, missed calls and emails You always take your phone to the bathroom with you You never let the battery run outIts funny to think that around 20 years ago the only people with mobile phones would be businessmen carrying their large, plastic bricks.Of course, these days, mobile phones are everywhere. A UN study from this year said there would be more mobile phones than people across the world by the end of 2020.And when there are more phones than people in the world, maybe its time to ask who really is in charge(主管)? Are you in control of your phone, or does your phone control you?So, what happened with my university friend? When I arrived a few minutes late he just laughed and said: You havent changed at all still always late! And we had a great afternoon catching up, full of jokes and stories, with no desire(欲望) to check my phone.Not having it with me felt strangely free. Maybe Ill leave it at home on purpose next time.32.What does the passage talk about?A. The history of mobile phones.B. The story of meeting an old university friend.C. The attraction of playing mobile phone.D. The terrible feeling of being without their mobiles.33.The underlined phrase “on edge” the third paragraph probably means _.A. energetic B. nervousC. brilliant D. amazed34.Whats the authors attitude towards the using mobiles?A. Worried B. PositiveC. Neutral D. Negative35.According to the passage, who is most likely to be addicted(上瘾的) to mobiles?A. a successful manager B. a 21-year-old girlC. a 21-year-old boy D. a lonely middle-aged person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。Some people learn a second language easily.
