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 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 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 19 Im not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening. 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 strict. B. Students often stay up at night.C. Teachers provide little care for students. D. Students should make good use of their time.22. How did Eddie feel on his first day of high school?A. Excited. B. Bored.C. Relaxed. D. Worried.23.Who mentions the importance of friends?A. Frank. B. David.C. Sharon. D. Eddie.BIts never easy to explain exactly when a specific language began, but in the case of English we can at least say that there is little sense in speaking of the English as a separate language before the Anglo-Saxons came to Britain. Little is known of this period with any certainty, but we do know that Germanic invaders came and settled in Britain from the north-western coastline of continental Europe in the fifth and sixth centuries. The invaders all spoke a language that was Germanic (related to Dutch, Frisian, German and the Scandinavian languages, and to Gothic), but well probably never know how different their speech was from that of their continental neighbours. The reason that we know so little about the language in this period is because we do not have much in the way of written records from any of the Germanic languages of north-western Europe until several centuries later. When Old English writings began to appear in the seventh, eighth, and ninth centuries there was a good deal of regional variation(变化), but not more than that found in later periods. This was the language that Alfred the Great referred to as English in the ninth century.The Celts were already resident(定居) in Britain when the Anglo-Saxons arrived, but there are few obvious traces of their language in English today. Some scholars have suggested that the Celtic tongue might have had an underlying influence on the grammatical development of English, particularly in some parts of the country, but this is highly speculative(猜测). The number of borrowed words known for certain to have entered Old English from this source is very small. Those that survive in modern English include “brock” (badger), and “comb” (a type of valley), alongside many place names.24.When did the English language begin ? A. After the Anglo-Saxons came to Britain. B. Before the Germanic invaders settled in Britain. C. At a time that no one will know for certain. D. At the same time as Germanic languages began.25. “continental neighbours” in Paragraph 1 refer to people living in _. A. Great BritainB. AfricaC. Europe D. Ireland26. Why do people know so little about the language in Britain in the Anglo-Saxon period? A. There are few written records from the Germanic languages. B. Old English didnt have any written system. C. Much of the written records have been lost. D. There was a good deal of variation in the records.27. What does the author think about the Celtic language ? A. It influenced the grammatical development of English. B. It had little influence on modern English. C. It borrowed a few words from Old English. D. It greatly enriched modern English vocabulary.CThe Mekong River, for thousands of years, has been the lifeline of the populations that depend on it for survival. The earliest settlements along the river date back to 2100 BC with the first recorded civilizationthe Khmer culture of Funan. In the 5th century, the Khmer culture Chenla existed along the Mekong, and the Khmer empire of Angkor was the last great state in the region. Roughly 700 years ago, the Thai people escaped from South China across the Mekong to form the kingdom of Siam (now Thailand), and the Mekong protected Siam from invasions. In 1540, the Portuguese Antonio de Faria was the first European to discover the Mekong. Although Europeans showed only some interest in the Mekong, the Spanish and Portuguese did make trade expeditions(探险) to the area, and the Dutch led an expedition up the Mekong in 1641-42. In the mid-19th century, the French led an exploration on the river between 1866 to 1868 and discovered that the Mekong had too many rapids and waterfalls to ever be useful for navigation(航行). From 1893, the French enlarged their control of the river into Laos until the First and Second Indochina Wars ended French involvement(介入) in the region. The Mekong has long been regarded as the foundation of Southeast Asias economic growth and prosperitynecessitating(使必要) cooperation between the countries. In 1995, the Agreement on the Cooperation for the Sustainable Development of the Mekong River Basin（流域） signed by the governments of Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam formed the Mekong River Commission (MRC). The MRC facilitates(促进) joint management of the shared water resources and cooperation on development issues. In 1996, China and Burma became Dialogue Partners of the MRC. Today, much of the Mekong remains undeveloped and even unexplored. It is closely tied to the daily lives and culture of over 60 million people, many of whom live in poverty (贫困). However, life along the river is changing, as large dams on the river have been built with plans for many more. Many people now live and work in the towns.28. What is the best title for this passage? A. The Mekong is being damaged by human activities. B. The Mekong has attracted peoples from the world. C. The Mekong has helped countries to cooperate. D. The Mekong nourishes(养育) the land and her people.29. The French ended their control over the Mekong because _. A. the river was unsuitable for navigationB. France lost the Indochina Wars C. France lost their interest in the riverD. Their agreement with Laos came to an end30. Why did the Mekong basin countries form the MRC? A. Much of the river remains undeveloped and unexplored. B. Many of the people along the river live in poverty. C. The river is the foundation for their economy. D. China and Burma came up with the suggestion.31. What is the authors attitude towards the future life of the people? A. Indifferent(冷漠的).B. Optimistic(乐观的).C. Pessimistic(悲观的). D. Sarcastic(讽刺的).DWhen parents discover their children have lied to them for the first time, it can often come as a shock to find their little treasures are capable of such a trick. But new research has suggested many parents may not even notice many of the lies their children tell them.Psychologists have discovered that most parents are over-confident in their childrens honesty and this may impair their ability to discover a lie. The findings may help to explain why some parents seem to be willing to let their children get away with almost anything even in the face of the evidence. They say parents suffer from a “truth bias(偏见)” with their own youngsters, but when faced with lies from other peoples children, they have less difficulty telling if a statement is true or not.Dr Angela Evans, a psychologist at Brock University in Canada, said, “The close relationship that parents share with their own children may lead to parents failing to detect their childrens lies. Parents truth bias may result in parents being less suspicious of their children, allowing them to successfully cheat them.”Most children are thought to start lying as early as two years old but start telling more believable lies at around the age of four years old. Learning how to lie is considered as a key part of cognitive(认知的) and social development in children. But many parents are shocked when their children start lying to them. In their study, Dr Evans and her colleagues filmed 108 children aged between 8 and 16 as they performed a test after being asked not to look at the answers. They were then asked afterwards if they had looked, with 50 truthfully denying looking, 49 lying about looking and 9 admitting to looking.Videos of those denying looking were then shown to 152 parents of children aged 8 to 16, 80 of whom had children who had taken part in the test. The researchers found that the parents were less able to spot lies told by their own children than by other peoples children.32. What does the underlined word “impair” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Show.B. Develop.C. Damage.D. Recognize.33. When lying to their parents, children cant be easily found because _. A. their parents pretend not to see the lies B. their parents arent prepared for the lies C. they are very good at hiding their lies D. they know how to lie to their parents34. What does Dr Evans want to find about childrens lying? A. What makes parents lose trust in their children. B. What causes children to tell lies to their parents. C. What makes parents fail to see their childrens lies. D. What affects childrens relations with their parents.35. What can be inferred from Dr Evanss study in the last two paragraphs? A. Parents tend to protect their own children. B. Lying is a part of childrens development. C. Children aged 8 to 16 are very likely to tell lies. D. Parents can easily judge lies told by children of others. 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。Five Steps to Better HandwritingSome kids love handwriting, but others hate when its time to put their pen to paper.
