• 2．Since graduating from middle school，this year's new 9th-grade class is adapting to （适应） the challenges of high school，a difficult process （过程） for many students.Some of the challenges the students must get used to are the increasing difficulty of schoolwork，the amount of homework，and the change in the grading system amongst other things.
     "It's a bit harder than middle school，but that is to be expected from every ongoing year，" David Palacios，9th-grade student，said.
     Adaptation is also influenced by stories the freshmen hear before entering.These stories create a negative （消极的） idea of high school，as they are usually bad stories about classes，teachers，or other topics.
     "Stories I've heard of high school are exaggerated （夸张的），" Palacios said.
     The school is fighting against student fear by providing information about high school，even before they enter.This year，the 9th-grade class entered school on August 8，one day earlier than other high school students.This was done to help the freshmen by solving any doubts they could have.
     "In general，they adapt well，because since middle school they have been given some information on what high school is，" Ana Isabel Garcia，high school advisor，said.
     The changes faced in 9th grade are more challenging than those found in middle school.However，after experiencing the first two months of 9th grade，many 9th graders agree that 9th grade is not as hard as they thought it would be.
     "It's not that different from middle school，" Palacios said.
     High school is harder than other grades as it's the final step students take before they enter the real world.Students must see the important role high school plays as it teaches them many skills that will help them improve their future.
     "They do well because they come in with a good attitude （态度） and wish to adapt well，" Garcia said.
  
  （1）What did Palacios think of the freshman challenges？

  
  A．They would disappear soon.
  B．They were hard to fight off.
  C．They happened as expected.
  D．They mostly focused on grades.
  （2）Why did Palacios' school require the 9th graders to enter the school on August 8？

  
  A．To show them around the campus.
  B．To help them deal with their nervousness.
  C．To let them experience high school life in advance.
  D．To avoid them hearing bad stories about high school.
  （3）What kind of feeling did Garcia express in her words？

  
  A．Shock.
  B．Worry.
  C．Excitement.
  D．Satisfaction.
  （4）Where is this text most likely from？

  
  A．A news report.
  B．A study guide.
  C．A personal diary.
  D．A class schedule.

• 3．At 5：12 am on April 18，1906，people living in San Francisco were awakened by a 40-second earthquake.After a 10-second stop，an even stronger earthquake struck，lasting 25 seconds.Survivors saw the ground move in waves as high as three feet.The earthquake damaged streets，and streetcar rails.
     Fires broke out soon after the earthquake，caused primarily by overturned stoves（炉子）or damaged electrical wiring.Because the city's water mains had suffered more than 300 breaks，no water was available（可用的）to fight the fires，which rapidly burned beyond control.To control the fire，firefighters began to dynamite（炸毁）buildings in its path.Unfortunately，this method sometimes spread the fire.By the evening of April 18，1，700 soldiers had arrived in San Francisco to help both local people and the firefighters.
     After burning uncontrolled for three days，the fire finally burned itself out by the morning of April 21.More than 28，000 buildings had been destroyed，resulting in about ＄500 million in damage.
     Although the official number of deaths was 311，it is now believed that about 3，000 people were killed.About 250，000 people（two-thirds of the city's population） were left homeless.They were forced to live in tents （帐篷） in public parks.
     Among the earthquake's survivors was the famous Italian opera singer Enrico Caruso.On the night of April 17，he had performed（表演）the role of José in Georges Bizet's 1875 opera，"Carmen，" and had been scheduled for another performance on April 18.Caruso was so shocked by the earthquake that he made up his mind never to return to San Francisco again.
     Ansel Adams，age 4，survived the earthquake along with his family，though their house and many things were damaged.An aftershock threw young Adams face-first into a garden wall，giving him what his friend Cedric Wright would call an "earthquake nose." Describing his broken nose，which was never repaired，Adams would later joke，"My beauty was damaged forever." But he felt the power of the quake，which he called his "closest experience with terrible human suffering."
  
  （1）What made it difficult to control the fire？

  
  A．Damaged streets.
  B．Fallen buildings.
  C．The big problem of getting water.
  D．The low number of firefighters.
  （2）What was the situation like after the earthquake？

  
  A．Dead bodies could be found in public parks.
  B．More than half of the locals had to find shelter.
  C．Over 250，000 people had to live on the street.
  D．About 28，000 buildings survived with little damage.
  （3）How did Enrico Caruso feel about the earthquake？

  
  A．Completely lost.
  B．Very frightened.
  C．Really annoyed.
  D．Extremely sad.
  （4）What.happened to 4-year-old Ansel Adams？

  
  A．He was laughed at by his friend.
  B．His family members were hurt badly.
  C．His looks were unexpectedly changed.
  D．He got injured while trying to protect his nose.

• 4．As today's high schoolers are facing too much homework，sports teams and clubs and high-rising college costs，many people are rethinking the idea of high schoolers working.Are there still benefits （益处） of having a job in high school？The answer is yes.
     When I was 14 years old，my mother suggested that I get a job in order to pay for college.Happy with my sporadic （零星的） babysitting work，I told my mother that，no matter what job I got，I'd never be able to cover college costs on a high school worker's pay.
     My mother smiled and told me that there were plenty of other reasons why I should get a job beyond （除了） just the paycheck （工资支票）.So I found myself applying for and finally accepting a job as a swim instructor and lifeguard at my town's public pool.I ended up working part-time at the pool through all four years of high school.
     Not everything about the job was marvelous，and there were times I hated jumping in the pool on cold mornings and trying to talk kids into following my instructions，but overall，like my mother said，I got many benefits from the job beyond just the paycheck.
     At my job，I made lots of new friends，more than I had made in high school.I also learnt lots of skills including CPR （心肺复苏法） training and office experience.I was also able to use my work experience to stand out from other job applicants in college and get a paid research job as a freshman in college.
     For many high school students，there are many benefits of having a job.Not only will high school jobs give you a way to make some money，meet new people，and develop some skills，you can also use your teenage jobs to get yourself a better job in college.
  
  （1）What was the author's attitude when his mother asked him to get a job？

  
  A．He was surprised at it.
  B．He didn't want to do it.
  C．He was excited about it.

  （2）What does the underlined word "marvelous" in Paragraph 4 probably mean？

  
  A．Easy.
  B．Moving.
  C．Relaxing.
  D．Enjoyable.
  （3）How did the author's part-time job benefit him？

  
  A．It developed his team spirit.
  B．It helped him land a good job in college.
  C．It led him to meet the best friend of his life.
  D．It provided him with enough money to pay for college.
  （4）What is the best title for the text？

  C．What I learnt from part-time jobs
  D．High schoolers are having hard times

第二节（共1小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）

• 5．Setting goals can help you stay on top of your studies，but it's important to set the right kinds of goals.That's where S.M.A.R.T.（Specific，Measurable，Action-based，Realistic，Time-scheduled）goals can help.
     Set your goal as specific as possible
     Having an unclear goal can make it difficult to follow through on your efforts and track your progress.（1）

  For example，instead of saying your goal is to get through your math class，figure out what grade you want to earn.
     Ensure your progress is measurable
     It is wise to decide in advance how you will measure progress.You can choose both short-term and long-term measures of progress.In the short-term，you might measure progress by looking at how much studying you get done in a week.（2）

  
     Decide on action-based steps
     When you set your goal，make sure you have a clear action plan and detailed steps.（3）

  Action-based steps might include finishing your homework ahead of time，reviewing your notes every day after class，and arranging a meeting with your professor.
     Make sure your goal is realistic
     （4）

  An example of a realistic goal would be to improve your course grade by one letter before the end of the semester.An unrealistic goal，by comparison，would be to turn an F into an A by the end of the semester.
     （5）

  
     If you're working within a school calendar，the end of that semester might be the end of your time schedule.You might decide that you'll achieve your goal before the final week.That means working backwards to figure out what needs to be completed and when.
  
  A.Work towards your goal
  B.Give yourself a reasonable time schedule
  C.You might have a goal of getting an A in English.
  D.However，having a clear goal will help you stay driven.
  E.That way you'll know what you're achieving and how you'll get there.
  F.In the long-term，you might watch how your grades improve over the semester.
  G.It's important to dream big，but it's also important to know what you can achieve.

概要写作（满分25分）

• 23．阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
      The importance of reading is obvious. If you're not a big fan of books， that's OK! You're not alone! But before you shut down books and reading all together，take time to learn more about the importance of reading and all the amazing benefits that come with it.
      Reading can help improve your vocabulary. It increases exposure （接触） with new words and makes it easier for words to stay. Saying new wards out loud helps you better recall them and pick them up， making these new words part of your own active vocabulary.
      Reading allows for creative thinking. If you were an explorer， you would learn about the world through direct experience. Sadly， you can't all take to the high road and disappear into the sunset. But you can discover new worlds through reading books. Reading a book uses the imagination and this in turn develops your creativity， which allows you to dream and think in ways that you would have never been able to before.
      Reading brings joy and happiness to your life. You don't read because you have to. You read because you have fun doing it， a reminder that books are meant to be enjoyed. Reading brings you joyous experience，whether you are opening a new book or rereading an old favorite. It's easy to get lost in a world with interesting characters， tense（紧张的）situations， and beautiful settings.
      It's safe to say that reading can change your life for the better. If you think that you hate reading books，then perhaps you just have yet to find the type for your own personal style-but keep trying， and keep searching for what's right for you. Reading is one of the most powerful things in the world， offering you new chances to learn， grow and be inspired!
