Ⅰ　阅读理解
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 to.
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 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 homeschooled 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 before you know it.
David, Aged 19
I'm not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening (令人恐惧的). 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.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文中四个人用自己的亲身经历告诉刚入学的新生该如何开始高中生活。
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.
答案：D　细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“It's best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to.”可知，Sharon认为在高中阶段最好是学会处理事情和学会合理地管理时间，这样才能完成你需要做的一切事情。故选D。
2．How did Eddie feel on his first day of high school?
A．Excited. B．Bored.
C．Worried. D．Relaxed.
答案：C　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“When I started high school I was really nervous too”可知，Eddie在高中开学的第一天是很紧张不安的。故选C。
3．Who mentions the importance of friends?
A．Frank. B．David.
C．Sharon. D．Eddie.
答案：B　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly.”可知，David认为交一些朋友，和他们在一起，会极大地帮助你快速适应高中。故选B。
B
Japanese high school students either walk or ride bicycles if the distance is not too far. In other cases, students must take public buses and trains. After junior high school, students attend high schools based on their high school entrance examination scores. So some students travel a long distance to attend the school.

◆________
The schoolday begins at 8：30. Then students assemble in their homeroom classrooms for the day's studies. Each homeroom class has an average of 40－45 students. Students stay in their homeroom classrooms for most of the schoolday. Only for physical education, laboratory classes, or other subjects requiring special facilities (设备) do students move to different parts of the school. Between classes and at lunchtime, classrooms can be noisy, lively places. Some schools may have a cafeteria (自助餐厅), but most do not. In most schools, students bring a box lunch from home, prepared by the mother in the early morning hours.
Japanese high school students spend 240 days a year at school, 60 days more than American students. Students in high schools take three years' studying of each of the following subjects: maths, social studies, Japanese, science, and English. Other subjects include physical education, music, art, and moral studies. All the students in one grade level study the same subjects. Given the number of required subjects, electives (选修课) are few.
◆Afterschool activities
Club activities take place after school every day. Students can join only one club, and they rarely change clubs from year to year, so the clubs are relatively stable. Clubs are made up of sports clubs (baseball, soccer, judo, kendo, etc.) and culture clubs (English, broadcasting, science, etc.). New students usually are encouraged to select a club shortly after the school year begins in April. Clubs meet for two hours after school each day and many clubs continue to meet during school vacations.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了日本高中学生的学校生活和课外活动情况。
4．Most Japanese high school students often have lunch ________.
A．in restaurants
B．in school cafeterias
C．at home
D．in homeroom classrooms
答案：D　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“In most schools, students bring a box lunch from home”可知，大多数高中学生从家里带午饭，故排除A、C两项；再根据第二段中的“Between classes and at lunchtime, classrooms can be noisy, lively places ... but most do not.”可推知，学生应是在教室吃午饭，所以导致教室很吵闹。故选D。
5．What may the best subtitle for the second and third paragraphs be?
A．At School. B．In Class.
C．Subjects. D．Homeroom Classes.
答案：A　推理判断题。根据第二、三段所涉及的内容(班级规模、在校吃午饭、上学天数、所学科目等)可知，第二段和第三段这两部分主要讲的是学生在校的情况，故A项正确。同时正好与第二个小标题“课外活动”相承接。
6．What does the underlined word “rarely” in the fourth paragraph mean?
A．Always. B．Never.
C．Seldom. D．Often.
答案：C　词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“so the clubs are relatively stable”可知，此处表示学生们很少一年一年地换俱乐部，rarely意为“很少”，与C项“不常，很少”意思一致。故选C。
7．From the passage we can know that ________.
A．there are fewer than 40 students in each homeroom in Japanese high schools
B．students must stay in homeroom classrooms for physical education
C．there are few subjects for students to choose except the required ones
D．there will not be any club activity during school vacations
答案：C　推理判断题。根据第二段第三句可知，日本的高中每班通常有40至45名学生，故A项错误；根据第二段第五句“Only for physical education ... do students move to different parts of the school.”可知，学生上体育课、实验课等是不在教室上的，故B项错误；根据文章的最后一句可知，很多俱乐部在假期期间正常活动，故D项错误；根据第三段最后一句“Given the number of required subjects, electives (选修课) are few.”可知，考虑到必修课的数量，学生的选修课很少。故选C。
Ⅱ　应用文写作
假定你是李华。你的英国朋友Jack对全新的高中生活感到无所适从。请你给他写一封电子邮件，提出一些建议。邮件的内容包括：
1．学习方面；
2．人际关系方面；
3．其他方面。
注意：1.词数80左右(开头和结尾已为你写好，但不计入总词数)；
2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。
Dear Jack，
I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble in dealing with the new high school life.

Dear Jack，
I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble in dealing with the new high school life. I'd like to offer you some suggestions.
Firstly, we students must work hard at all the lessons and try our best to get good grades. Only in this way can we attend an ideal university. Secondly, we should get along well with our classmates and teachers, which will further help improve our social skills. Thirdly, we have to learn how to live our own lives. After all, we'll have to live on our own in the near future.
I hope you will find these ideas useful. All the best!
Yours，
Li Hua
