Fun things to do in high school
Learn another language
Your school might be holding foreign languages classes, so this is a great way to start your language learning journey! If you want more self-paced learning, apps like Duolingo are easily accessible (可使用的) on our mobile phones. As our world becomes more interconnected, it’s always good to learn another language or two.
Aim for a semester (学期) of straight A
This can be a difficult task but not impossible to achieve, as long as you put in the right amount of work and effort. If you are struggling(挣扎)with your grades, you can host or join group studies with your classmates!
Don’t be disheartened if you are not able to get an A in a semester. What’s important is having the drive to go forward. As a famous person once said, “He who would climb a ladder must begin at the bottom.”
Experience another culture
Culture and tradition are something that all humans share. No matter where we come from, we always bring our culture with us. People coming from different cultures may be among your friends or neighbors.
You can go to a museum, read a book, or try new food in your area. Remember to keep an open mind and take the time to learn about them.
Bring a shareable treat to class
If you know your way around the kitchen, you can impress your class by making and bringing them a delicious treat! Not only will this make their stomachs happy, but you’ll also bond (联系) the whole class together. Just don’t forget to check with your teacher first before bringing one.
21. What should you do if you want to learn a language at your own speed
A. Go to a museum to read books. B. Attend another language class.
C. Learn it on an app like Duolingo. D. Join group studies with your classmates.
22. What’s the key if you can’t get an A in a semester
A. Keeping an open mind. B. Asking your teachers for help.
C. Changing your study method. D. Having the drive to go forward.
23. What will probably be the result if you bring a treat to class
A. Experiencing different cultures. B. Making your teacher angry and anxious.
C. Making some students have a stomachache. D. Making your classmates happy and united.
B
It was Christmas Eve when my elder sister and I decided to open our presents before our mom got home from work. She usually came home about an hour after we got home from school, which we thought was plenty of time to sneak a look (偷看) at the gifts under the tree.
My elder sister opened present after present while I was ordered to stand guard at the big window in our front room. Finally, when my sister’s curiosity was satisfied, we changed places.
After opening a few presents, I found it faster to open one end of a present and look inside. “Cool! Mom and Dad got me headphones!” I pulled the headphones out of the box and was about to put them on when my sister shouted, “Quick! Wrap (包裹) it back up! Mom’s coming!”
I put the headphones back in the box but my hands were shaking. My heart beat faster as I tried to get the tape to stick. I had just finished burying the package with my headphones in it when my mother came into the front room. I jumped up and said, “Hi, Mom!” She smiled at me and said “Hi” back, but didn’t appear to suspect (怀疑) a thing. My heart began to slow as I took a deep breath.
On Christmas morning, my sister and I smiled, and gave award-winning performances when we opened our presents—again. “Headphones!” I shouted. “Thanks, it’s just what I wanted.” After everything had been opened, my sister and I looked at each other, and our eyes met. Our secret was safe, but somehow Christmas morning didn’t feel the same.
My sister and I never opened our Christmas presents early again. I don’t know if it was that opening our gifts for the second time just wasn’t as much fun as the first time, or if we came too close to getting caught and didn’t want to think about what our mother would have done to us.
24．What did the author and his sister do before their mother came back
A．They bought some Christmas presents.
B．They hid Christmas presents under the tree.
C．They opened Christmas presents in advance.
D．They wrapped the headphones for their mother.
25．How was the author feeling when his mother was coming
A．Grateful and moved. B．Happy and excited.
C．Curious and surprised. D．Nervous and frightened.
26．Why did Christmas morning give the author a different feeling
A．His secret was found out. B．His curiosity wasn’t satisfied.
C．A pleasant surprise was lost. D．A festival atmosphere was lost.
27．What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph
A．He didn’t like the headphones. B．He regretted what he had done.
C．He wasn’t satisfied with his mother. D．He couldn’t find his Christmas present.
C．
Old age may not sound exciting. But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people worried about getting older. Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of 50. In fact, they say by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were when they were 18 years old.
The findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults in the United States. The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of 18 and 85. The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional stress.
Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 24 and 25. The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply（突然地） after people reached their fifties.
The study also showed that men and women have similar feeling patterns as they grow older.
However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.
Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their feelings. They so spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be connected to changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.
The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being（幸福） related to age.
28．According to the survey of the Gallup Organization people are most likely to become happier.
A．when they are between the ages of 18 and 85
B．when they come to their old age
C．when they are in their twenties
D．when they are 18 years old
29．You may have the highest level of stress when you are at the age of ______.
A．20 B．25 C．35 D．40
30．Who would probably show the greatest interest in the passage
A．Those who are worried about getting old
B．Those who are single and unemployed
C．Those who feel unhappy all the time
D．Those who suffer from mental stress
31．What would be the best title for the passage
A．Women Are Easier to Be Happy in Life
B．The Young Are Happier Than the Old
C．Getting Older Means Getting Happier
D．The Younger, the Happier
D
The Internet is a growing new world that has been developing ever since it was created many years ago. The only reason Internet sales are not taxed(征税) is because we did not know the Internet would be used to sell products when it was created. Internet sales are no different from going into the store to buy the exactly same products except for the fact that Internet sales are not taxed.
When buying online, people cannot see and touch the product the same way they could in a store. To fix this, customers are going into the store to see the product. Then if they like the product, they buy it online to save money on the sales tax. This is a form of tax evasion(逃税) if you ask me!
Everyone has to pay the tax in the store and they should have to pay taxes online as well. Also, the added money brought in through Internet taxing could help the government to fund certain policies and other things that they could not do without the added funds(资金). This could go toward the country’s schools or other institutions necessary for society to function well. These funds could be extremely beneficial because of the recession(经济衰退) that the country is in at this point. Internet taxing is a way to increase those funds and in turn improve the quality of life for all who live in that country.
In a word, there are many more advantages than disadvantages in the argument over taxing Internet sales. I do understand that I may have to pay more if I want to buy something online, but the funds stay within my society and help my country. The added cost may hurt me at first but in the end, the funds will help me and others in our country.
32．Internet sales are not taxed because _______ .
A．they are different from store sales B．selling online was unexpected
C．people don’t know how to tax them D．many people are against taxing them
33．What can we learn from Paragraph 2
A．Customers get better products at a lower price online.
B．Online shoppers find it difficult to buy satisfactory goods.
C．Online shoppers probably try to avoid paying tax.
D．Problems related to online shopping are hard to fix.
34．According to the author, taxing Internet sales ______.
A．is good for all people living in the country
B．can help the country out of the recession
C．can help improve the quality of products
D．is beneficial to the development of Internet
35．The text mainly discusses ________.
A．whether Internet sales should be taxed
B．why Internet sales are not taxed
C．why people love to buy things online
D．whether it is a good way to buy things online

Five steps to better handwriting
Some kids love handwriting，but others hate when it's time to put their pen to paper.Maybe they are worried about their handwriting.Are you one of them？ 36 Here are five steps that really work!
Get a great grasp
Try this — hold your pencil at the top and try to write your name.Pretty hard？But when you hold your pencil the correct way，writing is much easier. 37 Hold it in place with your thumb，and your index （食指） and middle fingers.
Let the lines be your guide
Lined paper is your friend!Those lines can help you create letters that are the right size and proportion（均衡）. 38 Also be sure to fill up the lined space completely.Those capital letters should be from the bottom line to the top one.
Slow down
If your writing is hard to read，try slowing down a little.If you rush，it's hard to control where you stop and start your letters.
Lower the pressure
39 That makes it harder to make the smooth lines.Try easing up and don't hold the pencil too tightly.
40
Lots of games require you to write or draw pictures.So even though it's not schoolwork，you're still using the skills you need to control your pen better.
A.Play games
B.Ask for more advice
C.So "a" should be half the height of a capital "A".
D.You've been writing since you were a little kid.
E.Some kids press down really hard when they write.
F.The good news is that just about everyone can improve their handwriting.
G.The best way to hold a pen or pencil is to let it rest next to the base of your thumb.

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
I had just gotten out of middle school and was about to enter senior high school. I was so excited to become a big girl, but I also knew I would miss my old school on the first day. I wasn’t going to be walking into the same school, with the same friends and same teachers.
I thought I was ready for the change, though. I had a friend who would be at my new school--my neighbor Jenny. I would be fine.
I soon realized Jenny got popular fast at the new school. But Jenny changed very quickly. She dressed differently, she acted differently, and she talked differently. Undoubtedly, she preferred to spend too much time socializing (交往) rather than study. A part of me didn’t want to be popular by changing myself, but the other half couldn’t help it. So, I sat with Jenny and her friends in the new clique (小圈子). I noticed that when you sat in “the group”, everyone was so nice. They concentrated their topics on eating, dressing, hanging out, and watching videos or movies. I made so many friends that I felt accepted, but I wasn’t myself around them. Gradually, I found myself no longer a hard-working student, showing less interest in exploring the world of knowledge.
Jenny had taught me the “rules” of being popular: where I should shop, what I should say, and what I should stop doing. I changed myself. I tried hard to be the opposite of who I really was, just to be as popular as my “group”. Before long, I just couldn’t take it any more, because I felt unhappy and anxious about my studies. I wondered how I could get over my loneliness if I separated from the group. So I talked to my mom about it.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

读后续写参考答案
Mom told me “Just be yourself”, and gave me a mini statue of herself. She told me she had undergone the same situation before. And it was the statue that kept her company whenever she felt lonely or anxious. From then on, I shared anything wonderful or awful with the little companion, with which my negative emotions were overcome before an important exam in October. I made up my mind to outdo myself and I made it. However，Jenny began to frown frequently in that she was consider no longer popular due to her poor results.
After the exam in October, I decided to help Jenny with her study. We made full use of every moment that she could have spent on everything but study in the past to be sunk into the world of knowledge. Soon, she made advances and got praise from our class teacher. She became proud again and found herself popular again, however, owing to the success of academic results this time. She thanked me, saying that she gained more confidence. Soon I realized living with your true self,you will be the focus of popularity.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了四种正确的学习方法。
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是出于好奇心，作者和姐姐在圣诞节前夕趁母亲不在时偷偷提前打开了圣诞礼物。可是，当圣诞节清晨打开礼物的一刻来临，作者却体会到一种失落感。
24．细节理解题。根据第一段的“She usually came home about an hour after we got home from school, which we thought was plenty of time to sneak a look (偷看) at the gifts under the tree.(她通常在我们放学回家后一个小时左右回家，我们认为这段时间足够偷偷看一看树下的礼物了。)”和第二段的“My elder sister opened present after present while I was ordered to stand guard at the big window in our front room. Finally, when my sister’s curiosity was satisfied, we changed places.(姐姐一个接一个地拆开礼物，而我则奉命守在前房的大窗户旁。最后，当我妹妹的好奇心得到满足时，我们换了位置。)”可知，作者和姐姐在圣诞节前夕趁母亲不在时偷偷提前打开了圣诞礼物。故选C。
25．推理判断题。根据第四段“I put the headphones back in the box but my hands were shaking. My heart beat faster as I tried to get the tape to stick.(我把耳机放回盒子里，但我的手在颤抖。当我试图把胶带粘住时，我的心跳加快了。)”可知，听到母亲马上要回来，作者双手发抖、心跳加快，由此可知，当作者的母亲来的时候，作者又紧张又害怕。故选D。
26．推理判断题。根据第三段““Cool! Mom and Dad got me headphones!”(“酷！爸爸妈妈给我买了耳机！”)”可知，作者提前知道了爸爸妈妈给自己买了耳机，再根据倒数第二段““Headphones!” I shouted. “Thanks, it’s just what I wanted.” After everything had been opened, my sister and I looked at each other, and our eyes met. Our secret was safe, but somehow Christmas morning didn’t feel the same.(“耳机！”我叫道。“谢谢，这正是我想要的。”一切都打开后，我和姐姐对视了一下，我们的目光相遇了。我们的秘密是安全的，但不知怎的，圣诞节的早晨感觉不一样了。)”可知，圣诞节清晨作者打开礼物后假装激动和尖叫，其实那份惊喜已经不存在了，所以圣诞节的早晨给了作者一种不同的感觉。故选C。
27．推理判断题。根据最后一段“My sister and I never opened our Christmas presents early again. I don’t know if it was that opening our gifts for the second time just wasn’t as much fun as the first time, or if we came too close to getting caught and didn’t want to think about what our mother would have done to us.(我和姐姐再也没有提前打开圣诞礼物了。我不知道是因为第二次拆礼物没有第一次那么有趣，还是因为我们差点被抓住，不想去想妈妈会对我们做什么。)”可知，作者和姐姐从此以后再也没有提前打开过圣诞礼物，他分析可能的原因是第二次打开礼物不再有真正的惊喜和兴奋感。由此判断，他对自己之前提前打开礼物的做法是有点后悔的。故选B。
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章重点介绍的是老年人的幸福感问题，
28．细节理解题。根据文章第一段Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of 50. In fact, they say by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were when they were 18 years old.（研究人员发现，人过了50岁后，会变得更快乐，忧虑也更少。事实上，他们说到85岁时，人们的生活比他们18岁时更快乐）可知，当他们年老时，人会变得更快乐忧虑更好。故选B项。
29．细节理解题。根据文章第三段His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 24 and 25（他的团队发现，24到25岁之间的成年人压力水平最高）可知，在24到25岁之间，成年人的压力水平最高。故选B项。
30．推理判断题。根据文章第一段Old age may not sound exciting. But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people worried about getting older. Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of 50. In fact, they say by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were when they were 18 years old（年老听起来可能并不令人兴奋。但最近的研究结果为老年人和担心变老的人带来了好消息。研究人员发现，人过了50岁后，会变得更快乐，忧虑也更少。事实上，他们说到85岁时，人们的生活比他们18岁时更快乐）可知，文章所描述的研究给老年人和担心变老的人带来了好消息。文章发现年纪越大的人越容易开心。故可以推断那些担心变老的人会对这篇文章很感兴趣的。故选A项。

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了网络销售是否应该征税。

33．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“Then if they like the product, they buy it online to save money on the sales tax. This is a form of tax evasion(逃税) if you ask me! (然后，如果他们喜欢这个产品，他们就会在网上购买，以节省销售税。要我说，这是一种逃税!)”可知，网上购物者可能试图逃税。故选C。
34．推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Internet taxing is a way to increase those funds and in turn improve the quality of life for all who live in that country. (网络税收是增加这些资金的一种方式，并反过来改善生活在该国所有人的生活质量。)”以及最后一段“but in the end, the funds will help me and others in our country.( 但最终，这些资金会帮助到我和我们国家的其他人。)”可推断，对网上销售征税对所有人都好。故选A。
35．主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“In conclusion, there are many more positives than negatives in the argument over taxing Internet sales.(总之，在对互联网销售征税的争论中，利大于弊。)”可知，本段是对全文观点的总结。结合下文“I do understand that I may have to pay more if I want to buy something online, but the funds stay within my society and help my country. The added cost may hurt me at first but in the end, the funds will help me and others in our country.( 我明白，如果我想在网上买东西，我可能要付更多的钱，但这些钱会留在我的社会里，帮助我的国家。增加的成本一开始可能会伤害我，但最终，这些资金将帮助我和我们国家的其他人。)”可推断，本文主要讨论了网络销售是否应该征税。故选A。

（37）G．推理判断题。由" Hold it in place with your thumb（拇指），and your index and middle fingers."可知，用拇指、食指和中指将其固定到位。所以题37与后一句一同来说明如何正确地拿笔。故F选项"The best way to hold a pen or pencil is to let it rest next to the base of your thumb.”拿铅笔最好的方法是把它放在拇指底部切题。故选G项。
（38）C．细节理解题。由"Those lines can help you create letters that are of the right size and proportion （比例）"可知，这些线条可以帮助写出大小和比例合适的字母。所以题38要举例说明这些线在书写时的作用。故C选项"So "a" should be half the height of a capital "A".所以"a"应该是大写字母"A"的一半高"切题。故选C项。
（39）E．推理判断题。由"That makes it harder to make the smooth lines"可知，这样就很难画出平滑的线条。所以题39要说明哪种情况导致很难画出平滑的线条。故E选项"有些孩子写字的时候很用力"切题。故选E项。
