Like any new ninth-grader on the first day of school, Joemar Class had ninth-grader- emotion (情绪). He’s not used to school in Hartford. He’s used to going to school in his home town of Florida, used to seeing his friends, used to having class in Spanish. “Nervioso,” he said in Spanish. We first met Joemar in mid-October in the San Juan Airport. His father, Guillermo Class, had sold his car to buy plane tickets to get his kids and fly them up from Puerto Rico. The island was almost destroyed (毁坏) by the deadly storm—Hurricane Maria. Now, they are settling into their new home in Hartford's South End. A week later, and, using his wife's car, Class drove 16-year-old Joemar to his first day at Bulkeley High School. After a short ride, he got out in front of his new school. Inside, he met Gretchen Levitz—the school's program director. “I see you have new uniform (校服),” Levitz said. “You look great. Are you ready for a good first day?” Then he met couple of teachers. “Hello,” they each said in Spanish. They asked where he's from, and told him they were happy to see him. Then Levitz took him on a quick tour of the school before classes began—to her office the school store, the library, and the dining hall. A total of 19 languages are spoken in Bulkeley High School. “We have so many new students coming here from other countries every single day,” Levitz said. “So it's not like he's the only one who has that feeling.” “You could tell he's little worried," Guillermo said as we left.” But, at the same time, he's looking forward to it.” 【1】What kind of feeling did Joemar have on his first day of school? A.Angry. B.Excited. C.Nervous. D.Relaxed. 【2】Why did Joemar leave Florida? A.His town was hit by a terrible storm. B.His old school closed down. C.He wanted to see his mother. D.He expected to have a new life. 【3】What did Joemar do before he walked into his new classroom? A.He had a long talk with his father. B.He learned some simple Spanish words. C.He said hello to some of his classmates. D.He had a short look around his new school. 【4】What can we learn about Bulkeley High School? A.It has no library. B.It is an international school. C.It plans to open Spanish classes. D.It requires all students to wear uniforms. |

“It’s a big hammer to crack a nut.” This is how one angry parent described the recent crackdown (严厉的打击) by London police on parents who drop their kids off at school by car. Yes, you read that correctly—the very mode of transportation that many American schools insist is the only safe way to deliver kids to school is now considered illegal in the UK. The decision to fine any vehicles seen dropping off or picking up kids within a particular zone of east London comes from city councillors’ (议员) long-term efforts to make the area safer and less crowded. They say they’ve been trying for years “to encourage reasonable parking”, but in vain. Neighborhood residents complain frequently about their driveways being blocked by illegally parked cars for 15 minutes or more，often while they’re trying to get to work, and the streets are long overcrowded. Now the rules have changed. Some parents are angry. Angie is a mother who made the “big hammer” comment and says the crackdown is “way over the top.” The nearest drop-off point for her six- year-old is now a five-minute walk from the school. Others are happy with the decision, severe though it may seem. Councillor Jason Frost said ： “Traffic has significantly reduced，and more children are now walking to school, which is a great outcome. I would rather have complaints that we are slightly inconveniencing parents than hear that a child had been seriously injured because nothing was done.” I witness daily the chaos created by these in-town drivers, when I walk my own kids to school. There’s a parking lot crowded with vehicles and a slow-moving train of cars moving in circles, many filling the air with harmful smoke. Meanwhile, the conversations around overweight children and the importance of daily physical activities continue to stand out in schools. 【1】Why is Angie Baillieul opposed to the new rule? A.She is often fined by London police. B.She will lose her job as a school driver. C.She has adapted to the American practice. D.She thinks it adds inconvenience to her kid. 【2】What concerned Jason Frost most? A.People’s complaints. B.Students’ health. C.Students’ safety. D.Parents’ inconvenience. 【3】What can be seen after the crackdown is carried out? A.Less daily chaos. B.Favor from all people. C.More over-weight children. D.Complaints from neighbors. 【4】What is author’s attitude toward the crackdown? A.Favorable. B.Uncaring. C.Doubtful. D.Opposed. |

On the first day of school we were challenged to get to know a new classmate. I was looking around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I found a little old lad with a warm smile. She said, “Hi, handsome! I’m Rose. I’m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug (拥抱)?” I laughed and heartily responded, “Of course!” “Why are you in college at such a young, innocent (天真的) age?”1 asked. She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have children, and then travel around.” “No, seriously,” I asked. I was curious why she took on this challenge at this age. “I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me. We became instant friends. Over the year, Rose became a campus icon (偶像) and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she enjoyed the attention from the other students. She was living it up. At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I’ll never forget what she taught us. “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. Here are the secrets to staying young. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have many people walking around who are dead, and they don’t even know it!” she said. “There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability,” she added. “But growing up requires finding the opportunity in change. The elderly usually don't have regrets for what they did, but rather for things they did not do.” One week after graduation that year, Rose died peacefully in her sleep. She taught us by example that it’s never too late to be all you can possibly be. 【1】Rose started college at the age of 87 in order to_____. A.marry a rich man B.travel around the world C.make more friends D.realize her dream 【2】Which of the following best explains “She was living it up.” in the seventh paragraph? A.She was living a long life. B.She was enjoying herself. C.She was spending a lot of money. D.She was killing time. 【3】When you lose your dreams, you die because ______. A.there’s no sense in living without your aim B.you can’t sleep well every night C.you are too old and have to stop playing D.something is terribly wrong with your brain 【4】What would be the best title for the passage? A.Meet the Challenge B.Never Waste Time C.Grow Up or Grow Old? D.Have You Got Ready? |

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。 Greg could always be counted on to have an interesting party every year. This year the party was at Greg's house. The fun part was a scavenger hunt(寻物游戏) he had set up for us. Two days before the party, Greg went around and asked the neighbors if they would help out. They were almost all willing. At the party he divided us into groups of four. We all had the same list of things to collect and an hour's time to do it. The group that found the most things on the list would be the winners. So as soon as the hunt began, my group set out at once, in the hope of winning the game. Our first stop was house number 38. A Mrs. Trollis answered the bell quickly. She was glad to help. She had three of the items needed: a nail, a photograph of a baby, and a shoe box. The next stop was Mr. Gray's house. He was an older man who invited us in. He told us all about a scavenger hunt he went on when he was a boy. We were interested but also worried that we would run out of time listening to his stories. When he realized we didn't have all night, Mr. Gray hurried off to find us a few things we needed. " I hope you will be the winners, "he said. Then we rushed off to another house. A young lady, Ms. Crane, came to the door. She looked busy but she said she could help out. We asked for a baking soda box. Ms. Crane emptied some baking soda into a bottle and handed us the box. We got a few more items in other houses and by this time we were missing only a Chinese newspaper. 注意:1. 续写词数应为 150 左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 We soon found, however, that finding a Chinese newspaper was a great challenge because none of the ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, we got everything on the list. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
