一、选词填空1.Incontrastto2.putaside3.varyfrom4.maxout5.incontrolof6.amfacedwith二、阅读理解1.C推理判断题。根据第二段的“Ithinkthebiggestdifferencesbetweenthejuniorandtheseniorhighschoolarethehomeworkload(工作量)andsizeoftheschool.”可知高中的功课量很大,所以他要求我们更加努力。故选C项。2.A推理判断题。根据首句“Onmyfirstdayoftheseniorhighschool,Iaskedaneleventhgraderwheremyclasswas.Andhetoldmeitwas‘onthefourthfloor,nexttothepool.’”他问别人自己的教室在哪里可以判断作者是一名高中生。故选A项。3.C主旨大意题。根据最后一段可知作者的一些朋友上了高中后开始抽烟、喝酒、虚度时光,作者说要和这些所谓的朋友断绝往来,把握好自己的人生。由此可知,最后一段主要告诉我们在高中几年的学习生活中,不要迷失了自我。故选C项。三、七选五1.G根据上文“Theyexactlyknowwhattheywanttoachieve,actinaccordancewiththeirviews,anddevotetheirbesteffort.”可知,该句和上一句是顺承的关系,因为上一句说的是自我调节的好处。故G项(当他们感到沮丧时,自我调节能使他们平静下来,也能使他们高兴起来)承接并解释上文。故选G项。2.D根据下文“Abad-temperedchildwhohitsotherswon’tbepopularatschool.”可知,下文讲的是如果缺乏自我调节,就会产生不好的影响,所以此处说的也是不好的影响。故D项(缺少自我调节会在生活中导致很多问题)总结下文。故选D项。3.C根据下文“Later,anadultmaystrugglewithself-regulation,eitherbecausethisabilitywasn’tdevelopedduringchildhood,orbecauseofalackofskillsinmanagingdifficultfeelings.”可知,下文主要讲述的是成年人的情况,所以此处讲的是孩子时的情况。C项(一个缺乏安全感的孩子可能会有自我调节的困难)符合题意。故选C项。4.E根据下文“Oneofthemostfrequentlyusedmethodsistochangeyourthoughtpatterns,whichmeansthatyouthinkaboutasituationinapositiveway,ratherthanonethat’slikelytoincreasenegativeemotions.”可知,下文讲述的是各种提高自我调节的方法。E项(总之,自我调节是如此重要,我们应该学会使用这种技能)符合题意。故选E项。5.F根据下文“Ratherthanthinkingthatthisreflectssomethingaboutyourselfsuchas‘Myfriendhatesme’,youmightinsteadthink,‘Myfriendmustbereallybusy’.”可知,当好几天都没有收到朋友的来电时,不要想是朋友讨厌自己而是朋友很忙。F项(例如,当一个朋友好几天不回你的电话或短信的时候)符合题意。故选F项。四、读后续写Whenhefinishedthetea,hesaidhehadtogohomeandpromisedtoreturnthenextday.Makinghisway
