Welcome to Los Angeles. Here are some best things to do in Los Angeles (LA) with your kids.

good rest in the sun.

the Kidspace Museum in Pasadena, you have many choices. I’m sure a visit to all these places will make
your kids feel smarter.

A young boy recently received an unexpected message in the mail from his father Joseph, who died two
years ago.
Rowan’s dad was a hard-working man who wanted to give his son the best life he could. It was why
Rowan’s mother, Julie Van Stone, said Joseph joined the Navy (海军) and went to MIT to get two Master’s
degrees (硕士学位).
While at school in Boston, he would often write to Rowan. Even when he left school and was driving
back to Colorado, he would send postcards from each state he stopped in. Those postcards were sent in 2007.
“I remember him saying he had sent 5 or 6, but Rowan had only got 3 or 4 in the mail. But I never thought
anything of it,” Van Stone said.
Those postcards and pictures are priceless memories (回忆) for Van Stone and her son, especially after
Joseph passed away from a rare brain disease. Rowan never had a chance to say goodbye. But, on Saturday,
just days before the two-year anniversary of Joseph’s death, a postcard arrived in the mail. It arrived on
March 11, 2015. The message read: “Hello from Pennsylvania. I love you, and I miss you so much. See you
soon. Love, Daddy.”
Neither he nor his mother knows how it happened, and they may never know. But, they have their own
ideas why. “I feel like that was the final goodbye that he didn’t get to say,” Van Stone said. Van Stone says
Joseph’s last words to her before he died were: “Everything is a circle. We will see each other again. All that
matters is love.”
24. What did Rowan’s dad do to make his son live well?
A. He got many Master’s Degrees. B. He became a soldier in Navy.
C. He kept writing to his son. D. He said goodbye to his son.
25. When Rowan only received 3 or 4 of postcards, Van Stone __________.
A. paid little attention to that B. let Joseph stop sending postcards
C. drove back to Colorado D. wrote to Rowan every year
26. How long did it take for the last postcard to reach Rowan?
A. 2 years. B. 5 years. C. 6 years. D. 8 years.
27. Where did Rowan’s dad send the last postcard?
A. In Boston. B. In Colorado. C. In Pennsylvania. D. In New York.
C
You may not know a lot of people when you start high school. Even if you know some freshmen (新生),
you still feel nervous that you don’t know any upper-classmen and teachers. How are you going to make
friends among this sea of unknown faces?
Most high schools hold a freshman orientation before school actually starts, which is helpful not only
because you learn your way around the building and get to meet some of your teachers, but also because you
get to meet fellow freshmen. That way, when you show up on your first day of school, you may already
recognize a few familiar faces.
When you talk to your new classmates, you’ll probably find that a lot of them are feeling just like you
are. They’re all new to the school and don’t know what to expect. Talking about a common concern with
them can help you develop friendships.
The work in high school is something freshmen are probably worried about. The work in high school
builds on what you learned in middle school, giving you a more advanced knowledge of many subjects. So鄂东南教改联盟学校期中联考高一英语试卷（共10 页）第5页鄂东南教改联盟学校期中联考高一英语试卷（共10 页）第6页
you may find you have more work to do or that it’s a bit more challenging. If you ever find your work too
difficult, teachers can give you extra help.
High school also has more extracurricular activities (课外活动) than middle school did such as clubs,
music and theater groups and sports teams. This is a good time to explore your interests and try new things.
High school gives you the chance to learn how to manage your time, to develop your social skills and
interests, and more importantly to be more independent and responsible.
28. What does the underlined word “orientation” mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Training. B. Game. C. Discussion. D. Examination.
29. What are freshmen probably worried about?
A. The learning task. B. The ability to make friends.
C. The relationship with teachers. D. The freshman orientation.
30. Extracurricular activities mainly help students __________.
A. build up healthy bodies B. develop friendships
C. develop their interests D. improve their learning ability
31. This passage is written for __________.
A. freshmen at high school B. freshmen’s parents
C. middle school students D. upper-classmen in high school
D
Americans think that everything we British people say sounds smart. We think that they sound
low-class, but secretly we think they sound cool. These are just old beliefs about British and American
English, but there is some truth in them.
What is certainly true is that the differences between British and American English continue to interest
us.
When the US was only about 20 years old, people were already saying that British accents sounded
more intelligent, according to Erin Moore’s book That’s Not English: Britishisms, Americanisms, and What
Our English Says About Us.
However, there are many different accents in Britain – Moore says the UK may have just as many
regional (地区的) accents as the US, even though the population is almost one-fifth the size. In the UK,
accents have a lot to do with class (阶层), but to many Americans, even an accent that British people think is
“low class” is thought of as intelligent and better, according to MPR News.
American slang (俚语) has been part of British people’s vocabulary for a long time – the number of
American television, movies and music enjoyed in the UK means that British people have been using words
like “cool” and “awesome” for years now. But sometimes words from the UK make it to the US – like
“gobsmacked”.
“Gobsmacked” started as slang from northern England. “Gob” means mouth, so the word means
“surprised as if someone smacked (掌掴) you in the mouth”. Reality television brought it to the US, Moore
said. When the singer Susan Boyle became famous for her unlikely great singing voice on the show Britain’s
Got Talent, she used it all the time. “I’m gobsmacked,” she repeated, and it got popular.
“Americans love a colorful piece of slang as much as anyone else,” said Moore. And this is just one
example of how Britons and Americans can leave each other “gobsmacked” with their different types of
English!
32. What do American people think of British English?
A. Cool. B. Low-class. C. Intelligent. D. Interesting.
33. What can we know from the passage?
A. There are more accents in Britain than in the US.
B. The UK is a large country with a small population.
C. American slang is the most important part of British people’s vocabulary.
D. In the UK, people of different classes speak differently.
34. The word “gobsmacked” became widely used because of __________.
A. MPR News and the US B. Erin Moore and northern England
C. Susan Boyle and Britain’s Got Talent D. Reality television and American slang
35. What is the best title for the passage?
A. American slang and British slang
B. British people and American people
C. British accents and American accents
D. Differences between British and American English

佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Earthquake can strike without warning. But many injuries and deaths from this kind of natural disaster
can be prevented if people follow these safety tips.
If you’re inside a building, stay there! One of the most dangerous things to do in an earthquake is to try
to leave a building. 36 Drop to the ground. Get under an object (物体) that is not easily
damaged. Hold on to it until the shaking stops. You can also get to a corner formed by two walls with your
arms over your hand. If you’re in bed when the quake hits, stay there and protect your head with a pillow.
37 Don’t take shelter under a tree, streetlights, electric poles or tall buildings. If you are
driving, stop as quickly as possible and stay away from overpasses, buildings, bridges or anything else that
might fall or collapse beneath you. 38
If you are trapped in ruins, cover your mouth with a handkerchief or a piece of clothing. Use your cell
phone to call for help if possible. Don’t shout. 39 Tap (敲) on a pipe or the wall so rescuers can
find you.
Be prepared for aftershocks. 40 However, sometimes they even happen months later.
Therefore, if you are not in a safe position ( 位置) after the first shock, you should move quickly but
carefully to a safer place. 鄂东南教改联盟学校期中联考高一英语试卷（共10 页）第7页鄂东南教改联盟学校期中联考高一英语试卷（共10 页）第8页
