A
Sharon, Aged 22
The most important thing to keep in mind when going into high school is to be yourself. Besides, I don’t 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. It’s best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need.
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 20
When I started high school I was really nervous too, especially since I had been home-schooled all through middle school and didn’t 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 after you know it.
David, Aged 19
I’m not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening. But you’ll get used to it. Don’t be afraid of anyone; upperclassmen will pick on you more if you let them know you’re 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 it’s really not bad at all. Don’t worry.
1．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.
2．How did Eddie feel on his first day of high school
A．Excited B．Bored. C．Worried. D．Relaxed.
3．Who mentions the importance of friends

The whale, as big as a locomotive(火车头) jumped out of the water, spinning(旋转) as though for joy, before jumping back under the waves. We watched the scene(场景) silently in astonishment, never having been so close to such a huge, fast-moving creature. It seemed almost possible to count the small shellfish on the whale’s skin.
In early December, gray whales, blue whales, and others had just started heading around the tip of Baja California, Mexico, moving as a community from the Pacific Ocean to the Sea of Cortez. It’s in that protected waterway that pregnant whales give birth to their babies. Other whale babies, born the year before, could be seen sailing behind. All whale babies get two trips like this with their mom before they’re ready to start having babies of their own and making the journey on their own.
We’re in one of several small powerboats, sent out by Scuba Caribe, which carries on such tours in Cabo San Lucas. The whales seemed to be, at times, less than 100 feet from our boat when they rushed out of the water. At other times, they would get much closer and swim beside the boat.
“What if one lands on us ” a woman next to me wondered. Fernando Del Toro, the Destination Manager of Scuba Caribe said, “We haven’t had any incident (事件) of whales jumping over our boats as we always keep our distance. We’re sure they themselves are probably careful not to crash into boats. Such an accident would probably also cause them much harm.”
“Everyone can enjoy this magical trip,” said Del Toro. “However, we do not recommend(推荐) it for kids under 5 years old,” he added.
Though conditions on the water vary, our trip was wonderful. Even when the boat sped up to catch up with the whales, there was little need to “hang on”, and some of us remained standing throughout most of the trip. Still, you may want to pack medicine for those who might get seasick while bouncing(颠簸行进) along the waves.
4．How does the author start the text
A．By telling a story. B．By asking questions.
C．By describing a scene. D．By giving background information.
5．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A．A description of the author’s journey.
B．A list of best places for whale-watching.
C．An introduction to the travelling of whales.
D．A suggestion on taking a whale-watching tour.
6．What does Del Toro say about whale-watching
A．It is suitable for all ages.
B．It is much too dangerous.
C．It may cause serious damage to wildlife.
D．It should be done from a proper distance.
7．How was the author’s trip
A．It was smooth in general.
B．It was tiring in particular.
C．It was destroyed by a storm.
D．It was terrible due to his seasickness.
C
Today, we have the ability to predict dangerous tornadoes (龙卷风), hurricanes (飓风) winter storms, and floods with more accuracy than ever. We know the areas that are likely to be struck by earthquakes, and the areas that are easily harmed by wildfires, and we can tell hours in advance whether a tsunami (海啸) will hit our shores.
However, in spite of all the capabilities for advance warnings, Americans are still quite poor at preparing for these disasters. In a 2006 poll (民意调查) carried out by TIME Magazine, only 16% percent believed they were “well prepared” for the next one.
A few weeks ago I was listening to NPR (National Public Radio) as I was cooking dinner, and I heard a moving story about a young boy, Noah Stewart, who lived through a tornado that hit his Alabama home.
Noah was sucked up into the tornado and then dropped. He landed on his head first, a fall of such force that, under normal conditions, would have killed him. However, he survived because his mother made a quick decision to put a baseball helmet on his head right before the tornado hit. Noah was unhurt in the storm. But the helmet cracked (破裂) down the middle.
The CDC states that they can’t say whether helmets save lives during a tornado impact (撞击) . However, it still seems wise for anyone in a tornado-prone (可能的) area to keep several helmets at the ready. Any added protection is going to increase your chance of survival, and as Noah’s story clearly shows, helmets can save lives.
You don’t have to buy new helmets—picking up used bicycle, football, or baseball helmets at economical stores and garage sales (旧货市场) can save money and keep your family protected.
However, it’s necessary that you keep these helmets in an easily reachable place; they should not be used for any other purpose, as they may be misplaced. Remember, when a tornado hits, you might only have minute—or even seconds—to find shelter. You don’t want to be running around the house, searching for those helmets.
8．What can we infer from Paragraph 2
A．Americans are fear of disasters.
B．There are many disasters in America.
C．Disasters are better predicted in America.
D．Most Americans are not well prepared for disasters.
9．Why could Noah Stewart survive in the tornado
A．Because he stayed with his mother.
B．Because he was brave in the tornado.
C．Because he was well protected by a helmet.
D．Because he was quick-minded in emergency.
10．What should you do to make the helmets function well
A．Put them at hand. B．Choose new ones.
C．Use professional ones. D．Save money to buy expensive ones.
11．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A．To ask us to prepare for the disasters. B．To warn us of the tornado impact.
C．To advise us to keep helmets handy. D．To describe the moving story of a boy.
D
It can be incredibly difficult to encourage ourselves to go for a run during winter, particularly when it’s wet and windy outside. But new research has found that even a super-quick run could have great health benefits. In fact, it seems that just a 10-minute session will not only make us feel better, but could actually improve brain health, too.
Now, we all know that exercise can improve mental and physical health in many ways. But when it comes to mental well-being, there’s been relatively little research done on the specific benefits of running, compared with other physical activities, such as cycling. So this was something put to the test during a recent study. Researchers from University of Tsukuba in Japan asked participants to run on a treadmill (跑步机) for just 10 minutes. They then had to take a Stroop Color and Word Test which is used to measure reaction time in brain processing. Results showed there was a highest point in self-reported pleasure and an increase in degree of activity of the brain.
In other words, runners were found to have an increase in blood flow in the part of the brain that’s associated with dealing with functions and controlling mood (情绪). Researchers then compared these results to a similar study on cycling, which also showed improved cognition (认知), but no mood improvement. Therefore, it seems various types of exercise can make us feel differently.
The authors noted, “Given exercise is medicine, the effects of drugs differ depending on the type of drug, and different types of exercise such as running and cycling should be observed to have different effects on mental health and brain functions as well.”
So pushing ourselves to get outside for a run really will make us feel better, probably more than other fitness activities. And these findings show that we don’t necessarily need to do a lot of exercise to feel the benefit of it.
12．What did the new research find
A．Running fast benefits all of us. B．Running is the best exercise.
C．A short time run can be beneficial. D．A healthy mind encourages us to run.
13．What does the underlined words “participants” in Para 2 refer to
A．People who are doing a research. B．People who love running.
C．People who are professional athletes. D．People who are taking part in an activity.
14．Which is related to our happiness
A．Blood flow. B．Cycling. C．Medicine. D．Colors.
15．What is the main idea of the text
A．We should go for a run in winter. B．Running really benefits us mentally.
C．We don’t need a lot of exercise. D．Running on a treadmill is better than running outside.

Time for girls to shine
Most of us grew up reading fairy tales that start with “Once upon a time” and end with “the princess and prince lived happily ever after”. They seem to be harmless- even 21 , perhaps. But in the eyes of two Italian writers, Favilli and Cavallo, this is what’s been 22 with children’s stories for years.
“Children’s books have always 23 the same since we were children,” Cavallo said. And a study also found while 80 percent of male characters in most popular children’s books have a(n) 24 , only 18 percent of female characters do.
So they together wrote a book 25 only female protagonists (主角). Good Night Stories for Rebel (叛逆) Girls is an “anti- princess” book, which gives young girls role models of their own to 26 .
The original book was published in December 2019, and the second volume 27 on Feb 28, 2021. Both books contain the stories of 100 extraordinary women from all over the world, and much to the 28 of children’s book writers, every one of them has a job or professional ambition. The “characters” 29 pop singer Beyonce and tennis star Serena Williams.
However, the word “rebel” may make some people feel uncomfortable, since it’s not really seen as 30 . But being rebellious is 31 being independent, which many of today’s girls need to develop.
“It is important to 32 — especially if you are a woman or a girl- a rebel attitude, a rebel character, because you have to 33 harder to reach your dream and to get what you want.
And this 34 is made clear, with the book’s first page reading “To all the girls of the world, dream 35 , aim higher, fight harder”.

11．推理判断题。通读文章可知，文章在第一段说明了当今人们可以对自然灾难做到一些精确的预测；第二段结合具体的调查结果，说明多数美国人对将要发生的灾难并没有作好充分的准备；第三、四、五段通过诺亚的事例，讲述了诺亚能在龙卷风中幸存，得益于带了头盔；最后三段讲述要让头盔发挥功能，应采取的方法。综上可知，本文主要是以诺亚戴头盔从龙卷风中幸存为引子，表明对待灾难做准备是有益的。所以作者写本篇文章主要是建议我们对灾难要做好准备。故选A。
