And he told me it was “on the fourth floor, next to the pool. ” I found out five minutes later that we dont even have a fourth floor and theres no pool either! Besides that, I didnt have any trouble with the older kid.I think the biggest difference between middle and high school is the homework load (工作量) and size of the school. I went from maybe fifteen minutes of homework a night to several hours, so I had to learn how to make full use of time! Our class size is around 550, but joining in clubs, sports, music, and other activities at school makes it easier to get to know people in every grade.The best advice I can give about the years you spend in high school is to learn things for yourself, not just to get a good grade. There have been so many tests that Ive prepared for the night before. I have gotten an A, and not remembered anything later. Ive changed that this year, and I enjoy school so much more. Dont take easy classes just to have a simple year. If you have a choice between chemistry and sports, the first will prove to be a lot more useful!While drinking and smoking might be present in some middle schools, theyre also around in high schools. I have a lot of friends who promised theyd never drink or smoke, but are now partying every weekend. If you have “fun” and spend your nights wasted instead of studying, you will regret it when youre applying for college. The “friends” who say youre a loser for not partying are really not your friends at all. Its hard to see your closest friends grow apart and go in different directions, but dont follow their footsteps. Create your own path in life and make your own decisions.21. What does the author think of high school?A. It requires hard work.B. There are very few activities.C. Its hard to meet new people there.D. There isnt enough time for homework.22. The author advises high school students to .A. give up sportsB. choose useful classesC. try their best to get good gradesD. get ready for tests the night before23. The last paragraph mainly tells us .A. about the trouble caused by drinking and smokingB. about the importance of making friendsC. not to go to any party in high schoolD. not to lose ourselves in high schoolBTo develop ones taste in English, the most effective way is to read English books extensively. Yet one may be at a loss to choose the appropriate books, especially as a beginner. As a native Spanish, I would like to share some of my experience.My first English novel was Jane Austens Pride and Prejudice, recommended by many English teachers and professors as an ideal book for English learners. But my experience was somewhat disastrous. I had great difficulty in understanding the novel, let alone enjoying it. Its not the vocabulary that troubled me, but rather the way Austen constructs sentences, and her way of thinking, which seemed too remote to me at that time. My fading enthusiasm was much recovered after reading Hemingways novel A Farewell to Arms. No long and complicated sentences. And I particularly liked his brief and straightforward (简洁的) style. So my first suggestion is, as a beginner, youd better choose contemporary novels instead of classical ones.However, if you restrict yourself to novels you will miss a lot of treasures. English essays can at once inform you, entertain you, and improve your taste in English. The best example is Bertrand Russells work. Its language is plain, yet you cannot help feeling the elegance and the peculiar sense of humor. His simple language enables his philosophy within the reach of ordinary people. Here comes my second suggestionessays are indispensable.Never follow others recommendations and opinions blindly, however famous or influential(有很大影响的) the person might be. We should be open to various ideas, but always think and determine for ourselves. As a saying goes, one mans meat is another mans poison. With that in mind, we are bound to find out our favorite writers through reading and develop our fine taste in English.24. What made the first English novel that the author read hard to understand?A. Complicated conversations.B. Sentences and Austens thinking pattern.C. The old-fashioned vocabulary.D. Not knowing the social background.25. Which can best replace the underlined word “indispensable”?A. Necessary. B. Challenging. C. Relevant. D. Inspirational.26. What advice does the author give in the last paragraph?A. Choose books that challenge us most.B. Read books that are instructive.C. Dont be affected by others choices.D. Compare books before buying.27. What is the authors purpose of writing the passage?A. Give comments on literature works.B. Tell beginners how to choose English books.C. Encourage people to read more English books.D. Recommend first class books to English learners.CEarthquakes strike suddenly at any time of the day or night, but theres no way to tell when. If an earthquake happens, it may cause many deaths, injuries and damage. So you need a good preparation ahead of time. Decide how and where your family will get together if separated. Choose an out-of-state friend or relative that the family members can call after the quake to report where they are and how they are. Know the safe places in each room: under the strong tables, desks, or against inside walls. Keep enough food, water and other things, including a flashlight, a radio, medicines and clothing.During the earthquake, you should keep a clear head and never be too nervous to know what to do. Protect your head and neck with your arms. If possible, take a book, a pillow or any other things to protect yourself from falling glass and ruins. If you are indoors，you must immediately lie under any strong furniture. If outdoors，move to an open area away from trees, buildings, walls or power poles. If you are in a narrow valley, move to the centre of it and look up for falling stones. If you are in a car，move to the side of the road and stop the car. Do not stop near buildings, power lines or on or under bridges. Stay in your car until the shaking stops.Do not move a badly injured person unless he is in great danger after the earthquake. Do not use the telephone immediately unless there is a serious injury or fire. Turn on your radio for instructions and news reports. Be prepared for aftershocks. If you want to leave your home, post a message inside your home telling your family members where you can be found.28. To prepare for an earthquake, we should make sure of .A. when an earthquake may happenB. the place where we can find our familyC. how to receive instructions and news reportsD. the money with which we can buy food and water29. If we are driving when an earthquake happens, we should .A. find a strong building to hide inB. leave the car as soon as possibleC. go on driving quickly to leave the areaD. move to the side of the road and stop there30. From the passage, we know that during an earthquake .A. we should keep calm and know what to do clearlyB. the trees and walls can protect us if we are outdoorsC. we should protect our necks with a pillow or a bookD. falling glass can be used to help us31. After an earthquake, we should .A. move an injured person quicklyB. use the telephone immediatelyC. turn on the TV to get news reportsD. leave a message before leaving homeDDuring the rosy years of elementary school（小学）, I enjoyed sharing my dolls and jokes, which allowed me to keep my high social status. I was the queen of the playground. Then came my tweens and teens, and mean girls and cool kids. They rose in the ranks not by being friendly but by smoking cigarettes, breaking rules and playing jokes on others, among whom I soon found myself.Popularity is a well-explored subject in social psychology. Mitch Prinstein, a professor of clinical psychology sorts the popular into two categories: the likable and the status seekers. The likables plays-well-with-others qualities strengthen schoolyard friendships, jump-start interpersonal skills and, when tapped early, are employed ever after in life and work. Then theres the kind of popularity that appears in adolescence: status born of power and even dishonorable behavior.Enviable as the cool kids may have seemed, Dr. Prinsteins studies show unpleasant consequences. Those who were highest in status in high school, as well as those least liked in elementary school, are “most likely to engage（从事）in dangerous and risky behavior.”In one study, Dr. Prinstein examined the two types of popularity in 235 adolescents, scoring the least liked, the most liked and the highest in status based on student surveys（调查研究）. “We found that the least well-liked teens had become more aggressive over time toward their classmates. But so had those who were high in status. It clearly showed that while likability can lead to healthy adjustment, high status has just the opposite effect on us.Dr. Prinstein has also found that the qualities that made the neighbors want you on a play date-sharing, kindness, openness carry over to later years and make you better able to relate and connect with others.In analyzing his and other research, Dr. Prinstein came to another conclusion: Not only is likability related to positive life outcomes, but it is also responsible for those outcomes, too. Being liked creates opportunities for learning and for new kinds of life experiences that help somebody gain an advantage, ” he said.32. What sort of girl was the author in her early years of elementary school?A. Unkind. B. Lonely. C. Generous. D. Cool.33.What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. The classification of the popular.B. The characteristics of adolescents.C. The importance of interpersonal skills.D. The causes of dishonorable behavior.34. What did Dr. Prinsteins study find about the most liked kids?A. They appeared to be aggressive.B. They tended to be more adaptable.C. They enjoyed the highest status.D. They performed well academically.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Be Nice-You Wont Finish LastB. The Higher the Status, the BeerC. Be the Best-You Can Make ItD. More Self-Control, Less Aggressiveness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。How to make friends at a new schoolStarting with a new school can be difficult, Everything seems to be different, and you dont even know where to go for your own classes. 36 However, if you use these skills, you can quickly turn some of those strangers into friends.Be yourself37 If some people dont accept you, theyre not the kind of friends you need.
