Lets find out what American students do in school. An official dance party is held about twice a year in high schools in the United States. When the final football game is over for the season there is a homecoming party. Sometimes, students select a king from among the football players, and a queen from among the girls. Every student can attend and have fun with the help of their teachers. Sometimes, students, called bookworms, to the surprise of the other students, come to the party in a beautiful dress. The most exciting party that students can go to would have to be a dance party. Students attend it in dresses similar to those of Hollywood stars and the atmosphere is comparable to an Oscar Award party. Since such a party is for seniors, students usually stay up the night trying to enjoy their last year in high school. In American schools, instead of the teachers going to different rooms, students have their own class schedules (课程表) and go to different classrooms. When a student is away from school, they must have an explanation for being away along with the signature(签名) of a parent. The signed paper is then handed in to the school office. High school drop outs and students being expelled (除名) are not that uncommon in the States. High absences without excuses are one of the reasons why students are expelled from school. American students also enjoy a number of activities out of school like cheerleading (拉拉队), student government and a host of different sports.24. Whose presence at the homecoming party can make others amazed? A. The king and the queen acted by students. B. The laziest student in study. C. The teacher who offers advice. D. Students who study hardest.25. Why do students hold the dance party till the next morning? A. Because they would like to dance and sang madly. B. Because this is the only chance that they get dressed like film stars. C. Because students make it as exciting as an awarding party of Oscar. D. Because this perhaps is the last chance that they can enjoy their high school life.26. What do American students do in school according to the text? A. They study in the same classroom B. They have the same class with each other C. They attend different classes in different places D. They wait for their teachers in their class 27. What is this passage mainly about? A. The organizing of dance parties. B. Homecoming party. C. How to ask for a leave. D. School life in America. CNever before have Chinese Internet users so openly liked and supported a Japanese athlete as they have loved table tennis star Ai Fukuhara (福原爱)，better known by her Japanese nickname “Ai-Chan”. But they may now feel heartbroken, as the 29-year-old said on Oct. 21 that she would retire (退役)from the sport. “Ive found the answers within myself that I have been searching for. From the standpoint (立场)of an athlete, Im drawing the line here,”Fukuhara wrote on her blog. After she started playing table tennis at 3 years old, Fukuhara was seen as a child gifted at the sport. Being trained in China at a very young age, Fukuhara can speak fluent Mandarin, with a northeastern accent.If her deep-rooted connection with China is one thing that has won the hearts of Chinese fans, her character is another. She always shows her real self to the public without hiding her feelings. She laughs in games when she wins, and cries when she loses. The fact that she often cries when she gets upset has earned her the nickname “Crybaby Ai-Chan” in China.Although she was beaten by a long line of Chinese players, Fukuhara always tries her best when playing her favorite sport. Yet, she also knows that now is the best time to close the curtain on her successful career. Its hard to say goodbye to a long journey but as Fukuhara once said on a reality TV show, “Life is not all about table tennis. Instead, it is just part of life.”As for her future plans, Fukuhara wrote that she would like to help more people around the world get to know the beauty of the sport.28.

Friendship with China. D. Secret to success.DNatalie Hampton spent most of her 7th and 8th grade school years eating lunch alone. The new girl was at an all-girls private school in Los Angeles. A group of “mean girls” excluded (把排斥在外) her from parties, called her names and even physically attacked her. They told her she was ugly and would never have any friends. Once a kid who loved going to school, now Natalie dreaded it. She stopped eating; she couldnt sleep. The anxiety (焦虑) became so bad that she had to be hospitalized. Her mom calls it “the darkest period of our lives”.Natalies mother sent her to another school for high school. Now a 16-year-old junior, shes happy there, with a group of close friends and many after-school activities. But shes never forgotten those two dark years, and she hates the idea of other kids going through what she did.So Natalie came up with an idea that would allow students a judgment-free way to find lunch mates without the fear of being refused. She developed an app called “Sit With Us”, where students can sign up as “ambassadors” and post that there are open seats at their lunch table (When signing up as ambassadors, the students make a promise that theyll be kind and welcoming to whoever comes to sit with them). A student who doesnt have a place to sit can look at the app and find an ambassadors table and know he/she is invited to join it.“Lunch might seem really small, but I think these are the small steps that make a school more inclusive,” said Natalie. “It doesnt seem like youre asking that much, but, it starts to change the way students think about each other. It makes a huge difference in how they treat each other.”32. How did Natalie feel during her 7th and 8th grade school years?A. Helpless and angry. B. Relaxed and confident.C. Lonely and frightened.

What is the purpose of the “Sit With Us” app?A. It makes lonely students popular at school.B. It teaches students to fight against those “mean girls”. C. It encourages students to have lunch with new classmates.D. It helps students locate a welcoming group in the lunchroom. 35. What is the text mainly about?A. What students should do to find lunch mates.B. How Natalie succeeded in becoming popular.C. How the “Sit With Us” app came into being.D. Why Natalie was unwelcome at school. 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 Enjoy Life As a TeenThe best years of your life?
