Welcome to senior high. Your great adventure is about to begin. It is a time when you can challenge yourself to improve. Some senior high students are invited to share their secrets and advice.
Wang Zanduo, 17, Hebei
One of the most important things for seniors is to learn to get along with others. We all know nobody is perfect. Getting along with others takes patience and understanding. You should always respect others’ differences and make new friends with people sharing common interests. It’s also a time to learn to keep your temper (脾气) under control. A hot temper cannot solve any problems but patience can.
Sun Xiuyuan, 16, Shandong
To enjoy your high school life, I would say that you don’t want to stress yourself out. Senior years provide you with more chances to explore who you are and what you want to do in the future. I really enjoy doing extracurricular activities and community service. My experiences of joining a singing club and a computer programming club, as well as volunteering, have encouraged me to search for the unknown and find more fun and warmth in the world. Try things you are not familiar with, and remember, no matter what your talents are, you can always go beyond yourself.
Zhao Yuebei, 18, Hainan
It’s true that senior year means a lot more work. Don’t worry! A very useful study method is the mind map to help organize information. Creating your own system of knowledge is important. It plays a key role especially in the review stage of the final year. You can start by writing down a key concept (概念) in the center of a page, then add related points and ideas around it. I have benefited a lot from this method since it pushes me to review and organize all my knowledge.
1. According to Wang Zanduo, how can you get along well with others
A. Making efforts to become perfect.
B. Being patient and understanding.
C. Trying to be different from others.
D. Developing the same interest as others.
2. What does Sun Xiuyuan advise you to do
A. To put yourself under no stress. B. To do what you want to.
C. To become a helpful volunteer. D. To try some new things.
3. What is Zhao Yuebei talking about
A. Learning strategies. B. Some past experiences.
C. System of knowledge. D. High school’s final year.
【答案】1. B 2. D 3. A

B
I’m a seventeen-year-old boy preparing for my A Level exams at the end of the year. In the society where my peers and I live, we tend to accept the rat race values. As students, we want to get good grades so that we can get good jobs. I enjoy studying and have consistently received A’s in my classes. There was a year when I finished first in my class in the final exams. It was a great accomplishment.
Another one I am pleased with is that I managed to improve the relationship between Mum and Dad. Dad was a successful businessman who was rarely at home. Mum was a housewife who always felt bored and constantly nagged (唠叨) him to let her go to work. Their constant arguing bothered me, so I advised Dad that Mum would be better off with a part-time job. He agreed, and their relationship has improved since then.
My most proud achievement, however, is my successful work in the local old folks’ home. My grandparents had raised me since I was a child. I wept (哭泣) bitterly when they died. Unlike many of my classmates, I do not take part in my school’s community service to earn points. I enjoy my voluntary work and believe I’m contributing to a worthwhile cause. This is where I can help. I talk to the elderly, assist them with their daily life, and listen to their problems, glory days and the hardships they experienced.
Last year, I hosted a successful New Year party for the elderly and they enjoyed a great time. Many expressed a desire to attend another party the following year. When I reflect on my accomplishments, I’m especially proud of my service at the old folks’ home, so I hope to study social work at university and work as a social worker in the future. I wish to be more skilled in attending to the less fortunate as well as find great satisfaction in it.

C
Teenage life is quite dramatic but that doesn’t mean you cannot enjoy your life in these years. Even with your daily troubles, your life is not very hard if you know how to deal with them.
I know exactly how you feel. Teenage life can be hard. You are not a kid anymore, because you are smart enough to consider your surroundings. However, you are still not an adult because there are still lots of experiences that you need to have and lessons that you need to learn from these experiences. Above all, the hormonal (荷尔蒙的) imbalance in your body can really mess you up. I have been there. I was in it for six years exploring what life is about!
As a teenager, I had a major problem completing my routine tasks on time. And at that time, all that I needed to do was to finish my homework, study for the upcoming tests and clean my room. Now, I have much more things to do: cooking, cleaning and working while keeping a balance between all my relationships related to work, family and friends. That really is a lot of work. So, I will just give you one golden tip, “Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.”
Life becomes much easier now because I finish all my work on time and I have enough time to let my hair down. Half the problems of a teenager appear because we hate doing things. We’d rather go and have fun than sit down and take on our responsibilities. That is why you have so much trouble in your life; your parents won’t let you go out with friends because you haven’t cleaned your room or your teacher is always criticizing you because you haven’t finished your homework.

C. Teachers D. Teenagers.
9. What plays a key role in making teenage life hard according to the writer

A. Take on responsibilities. B. Go and have fun.
C. Finish their homework. D. Give up their friends.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。作者通过自己的经历告诉我们，如果你懂得如何处理日常烦恼，你的青少年生活就没有那么难了。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Teenage life is quite dramatic but that doesn’t mean you cannot enjoy your life in these years. Even with your daily troubles, your life is not very hard if you know how to deal with them.(青少年的生活充满戏剧性，但这并不意味着你不能享受这几年的生活。即使你每天都有烦恼，如果你知道如何处理它们，你的生活也不会很艰难)”可知，本文为青少年处理日常生活提出建议，故文章的目标读者是青少年。故选D。

A new contact lens (隐形眼镜片) has been developed by scientists from America, Britain and China. It can check for illnesses at any time by examining chemical in tears. A new sensor (感应器) is used to achieve the purpose.
Scientists hope that the improvement could help to deal with sudden medical events. Dr Zhao Yunlong said. “COVID-19 has had a great influence on the scientific world. And we are doing research to help people deal with similar events in the future.”
When introducing the new contact lens, Dr. Guo Shiqi, a researcher at Harvard, said. “In the past, the sensor was put between the layers (层) of the lens. It didn’t have direct contact (接触) with tears. But our new sensor is smaller and smarter, it can be fixed to a lens and keep direct contact with tears. What’s more, it causes no discomfort to the eye.”
The contact lens has not been put to the market, but researchers are quite sure that it will be welcomed. It is especially useful for the old and those who may experience sudden medical events.
As society develops, scientists are supposed to develop more products that provide care and convenience (便利) for people. The contact lens is one of what they are researching on. Earlier, a California company developed another kind of contact lens using LED technology. It can show the health information on the mobile phone. Steve Sinclair, head of the company, said, “We have to build something that helps you when you need it and stays off when you don’t need it.”
12. According to Dr. Zhao Yunlong, they do this research because ________.
A they are experienced B. they are asked to do so
C. they want to fight COVID-19 D. they want to help people
13. The advantage of the new sensor is that ________.
A. it is put between lenses B. it s much cheaper
C. it is smaller and smarter D. it can be used for many years
14. The writer writes the last paragraph by giving ________.
A. an opinion and facts B. an opinion and answers
C. a question and facts D. a question and answers
15. The best title of this passage probably is ________.
A. Sensors: Science and Technology B. Contact Lenses and Convenience
C. The Most Useful Product D. Great Companies of Contact Lens
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种使用了更小、更智能的新型传感器的隐形眼镜片。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二自然段“And we are doing research to help people deal with similar events in the future. (我们正在进行研究，以帮助人们在未来应对类似事件。)”可知，他们做这项研究的目的是在将来帮助人们应对类似的事件。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三自然段“But our new sensor is smaller and smarter, it can be fixed to a lens and keep direct contact with tears. What’s more, it causes no discomfort to the eye. (但我们新传感器更小、更智能，可以固定在晶状体上，与眼泪保持直接接触。更重要的是，它不会对眼睛造成不适。)”可知，新传感器的优点是更小、更智能。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“As society develops, scientists are supposed to develop more products that provide care and convenience (便利) for people. (随着社会的发展，科学家们应该开发出更多为人们提供护理和便利的产品。)”可知，这是作者的观点；根据“Earlier, a California company developed another kind of contact lens using LED technology. It can show the health information on the mobile phone. (早些时候，加利福尼亚州的一家公司利用LED技术开发了另一种隐形眼镜。它可以在手机上显示健康信息。)”可知，这是陈述一个事实。故推断出作者是通过给出观点和事实展开最后一段。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一自然段“A new contact lens (隐形眼镜片) has been developed by scientists from America, Britain and China. (来自美国、英国和中国的科学家开发了一种新型隐形眼镜。)”可知，文章主要介绍了一种新型隐形眼镜。这种隐形眼镜使用了更小、更智能的新型传感器的隐形眼镜片，这种隐形眼镜能够为人们在应对突发的医疗事件中提供关怀与便利。故最佳标题应是“隐形眼镜片关怀与便利”。故选B。

47. 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。
Polly Goodman, 82-year-old, was a rich old woman. Her husband was a businessman and left her a large fortune after his death, so she had no problems supporting herself. The only problem was that her son who was a doctor busy with his work seldom had time to visit her, leaving her living lonely.
One day, Polly was walking along the beach, like she did every evening near her seaside house, when she noticed a young boy and his little sister playing there. As she was passing by them, she heard their mother calling out to them. “Corey! Daisy! Be careful! Stay away from the water!”
Polly noticed their mother resting on a bench, appearing sick and tired. The dark circles under her eyes were quite obvious, and she coughed frequently. Polly always had a desire to have a chat with someone. So she walked carefully towards the mother with a kind smile on her face.
“Hi, I’m Polly. I live by the beach.” Polly said.
The mother looked up at Polly, feeling a little surprised. The mother told Polly she was Lydia and had worked as a waitress. Lydia further said that she and her children had only recently moved to that location because her children had always wanted to see the ocean. Then Lydia stopped to cough heavily. After she calmed down, it seemed she wanted to say something, but stopped as if there was something difficult to tell. Polly did not follow up, saying goodbye and left.
When Polly went to the beach the next day, she saw the kids again, but this time their mother wasn’t with them. She observed them playing by themselves until late in the evening before heading home. The third day came and again the two kids played at the seaside until late in the evening, still without their mother s company. Then the elder brother was about to lead the sister back home. Out of curiosity and care Polly decided to follow them to their house.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Upon arrival, the kids invited Polly inside.

Polly took the mother to the hospital her son worked in.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Upon arrival, the kids invited Polly inside. The moment Polly stepped into the house, she was shocked to see the house in a mess with toys scattered everywhere on the floor. Meanwhile, she spotted Lydia lying in the sofa, coughing heavily. Seeing Polly approaching, Lydia struggled to sit up but failed. Apparently, Lydia was seriously sick and needed immediate treatment. When asked why she didn’t go to hospital, Lydia explained she was too weak to drive. Out of sympathy, Polly offered to drive her to the hospital.
Polly took the mother to the hospital her son worked in. Having learned about the situation through the phone called by Polly, her son helped contact doctors. After a careful medical check, Lydia was told she had to stay in hospital for days, which worried her a lot, for her kids were too young to stay at home alone. Polly comforted her that she would take care of the kids. Hearing that, Lydia was so deeply moved that she could say nothing. She hugged Polly tightly to express her sincere gratitude.

A
Welcome to senior high Your great adventure is about to begin. It is a time when you can challenge yourself to improve. Some senior high students are invited to share their secrets and advice.
Wang Zanduo, 17, Hebei
One of the most important things for seniors is to learn to get along with others. We all know nobody is perfect. Getting along with others takes patience and understanding. You should always respect others’ differences and make new friends with people sharing common interests. It’s also a time to learn to keep your temper (脾气) under control. A hot temper cannot solve any problems, but patience can.
Sun Xiuyuan, 16, Shandong
To enjoy your high school life I would say that you don’t want to stress yourself out. Senior years provide you with more chances to explore who you are and what you want to do in the future. I really enjoy doing extracurricular activities and community service. My experiences of joining a singing club and a computer programming club, as well as volunteering, have encouraged me to search for the unknown and find more fun and warmth in the world. Try things you are not familiar with, and remember, no matter what your talents are, you can always go beyond yourself.
Zhao Yuebei, 18, Hainan
It’s true that senior year means a lot more work. Don’t worry! A very useful study method is the mind map to help organize information. Creating your own system of knowledge is important. It plays a key role especially in the review stage of the final year. You can start by writing down a key concept (概念) in the center of a page, then add related points and ideas around it. I have benefited a lot from this method since it pushes me to review and organize all my knowledge.
1. According to Wang Zanduo, how can you get along well with others
A. Making efforts to become perfect.
B. Being patient and understanding.
C. Trying to be different from others.
D. Developing the same interest as others.
2. What does Sun Xiuyuan advise you to do
A. To put yourself under no stress. B. To do what you want to.
C. To become a helpful volunteer. D. To try some new things.
3. What is Zhao Yuebei talking about
A. Learning strategies. B. Some past experiences.
C. System of knowledge. D. High school’s final year.
B
I’m a seventeen-year-old boy preparing for my A Level exams at the end of the year. In the society where my peers and I live, we tend to accept the rat race values. As students, we want to get good grades so that we can get good jobs. I enjoy studying and have consistently received A’s in my classes. There was a year when I finished first in my class in the final exams. It was a great accomplishment.
Another one I am pleased with is that I managed to improve the relationship between Mum and Dad. Dad was a successful businessman who was rarely at home. Mum was a housewife who always felt bored and constantly nagged (唠叨) him to let her go to work. Their constant arguing bothered me, so I advised Dad that Mum would be better off with a part-time job. He agreed, and their relationship has improved since then.
My most proud achievement, however, is my successful work in the local old folks’ home. My grandparents had raised me since I was a child. I wept (哭泣) bitterly when they died. Unlike many of my classmates, I do not take part in my school’s community service to earn points. I enjoy my voluntary work and believe I’m contributing to a worthwhile cause. This is where I can help. I talk to the elderly, assist them with their daily life, and listen to their problems, glory days and the hardships they experienced.
Last year, I hosted a successful New Year party for the elderly and they enjoyed a great time. Many expressed a desire to attend another party the following year. When I reflect on my accomplishments, I’m especially proud of my service at the old folks’ home, so I hope to study social work at university and work as a social worker in the future. I wish to be more skilled in attending to the less fortunate as well as find great satisfaction in it.
4. What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph
A. His good grades got him a good job. B. He refuses to compete with his peers fiercely.
C. His views on social values are well known. D. He is content with his academic achievements.
5. Which role does the author play in his parents’ relationship
A. A helper. B. A judge. C. A monitor. D. A supporter.
6. What is the greatest accomplishment for the author
A. The contribution to volunteering. B. The success in exams.
C. The recovery of confidence in life. D. The work in community service.
7. What does the underlined phrase in the last paragraph mean
A. To depend on. B. To think carefully and deeply about.

Teenage life is quite dramatic but that doesn’t mean you cannot enjoy your life in these years. Even with your daily troubles, your life is not very hard if you know how to deal with them.
I know exactly how you feel. Teenage life can be hard. You are not a kid anymore, because you are smart enough to consider your surroundings. However, you are still not an adult because there are still lots of experiences that you need to have and lessons that you need to learn from these experiences. Above all, the hormonal (荷尔蒙的) imbalance in your body can really mess you up. I have been there. I was in it for six years exploring what life is about!
As a teenager, I had a major problem completing my routine tasks on time. And at that time, all that I needed to do was to finish my homework, study for the upcoming tests and clean my room. Now, I have much more things to do: cooking, cleaning and working while keeping a balance between all my relationships related to work, family and friends. That really is a lot of work. So, I will just give you one golden tip, “Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.”
Life becomes much easier now because I finish all my work on time and I have enough time to let my hair down. Half the problems of a teenager appear because we hate doing things. We’d rather go and have fun than sit down and take on our responsibilities. That is why you have so much trouble in your life; your parents won’t let you go out with friends because you haven’t cleaned your room or your teacher is always criticizing you because you haven’t finished your homework.
8. Who are the target readers of this passage
A. Parents B. Scientists
C. Teachers D. Teenagers.
9. What plays a key role in making teenage life hard according to the writer
A. The lack of life experience. B. The physical changes.
C. The failure of concentration. D. The unfamiliar surroundings.
10. How did the writer feel about her teenage life
A. It was enjoyable. B. It was simple.
C. It was boring. D. It was difficult.
11. What does the writer advise teenagers to do
A. Take on responsibilities. B. Go and have fun.
C. Finish their homework. D. Give up their friends.
D
A new contact lens (隐形眼镜片) has been developed by scientists from America, Britain and China. It can check for illnesses at any time by examining chemical in tears. A new sensor (感应器) is used to achieve the purpose.
Scientists hope that the improvement could help to deal with sudden medical events. Dr Zhao Yunlong said. “COVID-19 has had a great influence on the scientific world. And we are doing research to help people deal with similar events in the future.”
When introducing the new contact lens, Dr. Guo Shiqi, a researcher at Harvard, said. “In the past, the sensor was put between the layers (层) of the lens. It didn’t have direct contact (接触) with tears. But our new sensor is smaller and smarter, it can be fixed to a lens and keep direct contact with tears. What’s more, it causes no discomfort to the eye.”
The contact lens has not been put to the market, but researchers are quite sure that it will be welcomed. It is especially useful for the old and those who may experience sudden medical events.
As society develops, scientists are supposed to develop more products that provide care and convenience (便利) for people. The contact lens is one of what they are researching on. Earlier, a California company developed another kind of contact lens using LED technology. It can show the health information on the mobile phone. Steve Sinclair, head of the company, said, “We have to build something that helps you when you need it and stays off when you don’t need it.”
12. According to Dr. Zhao Yunlong, they do this research because ________.
A. they are experienced B. they are asked to do so
C. they want to fight COVID-19 D. they want to help people
13. The advantage of the new sensor is that ________.
A. it is put between lenses B. it s much cheaper
C it is smaller and smarter D. it can be used for many years
14. The writer writes the last paragraph by giving ________.
A. an opinion and facts B. an opinion and answers
C. a question and facts D. a question and answers
15. The best title of this passage probably is ________.
A. Sensors: Science and Technology B. Contact Lenses and Convenience
C. The Most Useful Product D. Great Companies of Contact Lens

47. 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。
Polly Goodman, 82-year-old, was a rich old woman. Her husband was a businessman and left her a large fortune after his death, so she had no problems supporting herself. The only problem was that her son who was a doctor busy with his work seldom had time to visit her, leaving her living lonely.
One day, Polly was walking along the beach, like she did every evening near her seaside house, when she noticed a young boy and his little sister playing there. As she was passing by them, she heard their mother calling out to them. “Corey! Daisy! Be careful! Stay away from the water!”
Polly noticed their mother resting on a bench, appearing sick and tired. The dark circles under her eyes were quite obvious, and she coughed frequently. Polly always had a desire to have a chat with someone. So she walked carefully towards the mother with a kind smile on her face.
“Hi, I’m Polly. I live by the beach.” Polly said.
The mother looked up at Polly, feeling a little surprised. The mother told Polly she was Lydia and had worked as a waitress. Lydia further said that she and her children had only recently moved to that location because her children had always wanted to see the ocean. Then Lydia stopped to cough heavily. After she calmed down, it seemed she wanted to say something, but stopped as if there was something difficult to tell. Polly did not follow up, saying goodbye and left.
When Polly went to the beach the next day, she saw the kids again, but this time their mother wasn’t with them. She observed them playing by themselves until late in the evening before heading home. The third day came and again the two kids played at the seaside until late in the evening, still without their mother s company. Then the elder brother was about to lead the sister back home. Out of curiosity and care Polly decided to follow them to their house.
