第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题； 每小题2分，满分30分）

A
Whether you’re a boy or a girl and whether you're a freshman or a senior, developing the following skills will help you achieve success in school and in life.
Time management. There are just 24 hours in each day. What you do with that time makes all the difference. While high-school students have an average of 35 hours per week of class time, college students have an average of 15 to 18 hours per week. Manage your free time wisely and you'll make full use of each day.
Good study habits. If you've got them, it's great. If not, there's still time to develop them. Good study habits include the following :
• Always be prepared for class, and attend classes regularly. No cutting!
• Finish homework in a timely manner.
• Review your notes daily rather than study for tests the night before.
• Set aside quiet time each day for study, even if you don't have homework or a test the next day!
Good note-taking. You can't possibly set down everything the teacher says since we talk at a pace of about 225 words per minute. But, you do need to set down the important material. Note-taking should be in a way that's the most helpful to you. You can try writing notes on different colored cards. If you really have a problem with note-taking, you might ask your teacher if you can record daily lessons. Do whatever it takes!
Review of daily notes. Don't wait until the night before the test to review your notes. Go over your notes each day while the lecture is still fresh in your mind. Add any missing pieces. Compare your notes with a classmate's notes. Review your notes

Avalanches (雪崩) are one of those natural disasters that can cause great damage and only Mother Nature knows when and where they are going to occur. Even with modern technology it is still impossible to know exactly when or where one is going to occur. Mountain climbers are wise to be careful, as avalanches kill many of them each year.
The physics of how and why an avalanche occurs is complex. There are times of higher probability. During the year, the transition（转变）from winter to spring will cause some snow and ice to melt, which may trigger(引起) avalanches. Also at daybreak
- 12 -
there is a higher probability due to the temperature change.
While climbers hike up slopes, some distance between the climbers should be kept. If an avalanche occurs, then there will be fewer lives lost and a higher probability that someone will be able to seek help. Since an accident is more likely to happen when a top layer of snow is loose, avoid areas where heavy snow or rain has recently occurred.
Try to choose areas that you are familiar with and stay in areas with rocks, bushes and trees. Trees and bushes allow snow to pile up and keep the layers stable. If an avalanche occurs, trees will take the impact of the snow, so there is a better chance of being safe.
Climbers must pay attention to the degree of the slope. Avalanches won’t occur on level ground and there is little snowfall on very steep areas. The greatest danger is in areas where the slope is between 25 and 40 degrees.
Remember that, if you get stuck in an avalanche, there is no car hire available to take you to the nearest airport.
5. What do we know from the first paragraph?
A. Many mountain climbers die of avalanches each year.
B. Of all the natural disasters, avalanches cause the greatest damage.
C. Most climbers who meet avalanches die for not paying enough attention to avalanches.
D. With the development of science and technology, avalanches can now be predicted exactly.
6. Why is there a higher probability that an avalanche occurs at daybreak?
A. Because daybreak is the coldest time of the day in the mountain.
B. Because it often snows heavily in the mountains at daybreak.
C. Because temperature changes at daybreak.
D. Because the top layer snow is loose at daybreak.
7. It wouldn’t be a good idea for a climber to _______ while climbing a mountain.
A. Keep some distance from other climbers
B. Avoid areas where heavy snow or rain has recently occurred.
- 12 -
C. Choose areas that he or she is familiar with
D. Climb up a slope which is between 25 and 40 degrees

This year some twenty-three hundred teenagers (young people aged from13~19) from all over the world will spend about ten months in U.S. homes. They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.
Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George's family. In turn, George's son Mike spent a year in Fred's home in America.
Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months' study the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected----much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.
Family life, too, was different. The father's word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car.
"Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it."
At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. "I suppose I should criticize (批评) American schools," he said. "It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two."
8. This year _____ teenagers will take part in the exchange programme between America and other countries.
A. twenty-three hundred
- 12 -
B. thirteen hundred
C. over three thousand
D. less than two thousand
9. The whole exchange programme is mainly to _____.
A. help teenagers in other countries know the real America
B. send students in America to travel in Germany
C. let students learn something about other countries
D. have teenagers learn new languages
10. What is particular in American schools is that _____.
A. there is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings
B. there are a lot of after-school activities
C. students usually take fourteen subjects in all
D. students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car
11. After experiencing the American school life, Mike thought __________.
A. A better school included something good from both American and Germany.
B. German schools trained students to be better citizen.
C. American schools were not as good as German schools.
D. The easy life in the American school was more helpful to students.
D
In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.
I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development, of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.
However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are
- 12 -
youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.
12. What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.
B. Opinions about competition are different among people.
C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development.
D. Failures are necessary experiences in competition.
13. Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?
A. It pushes society forward. B. It builds up a sense of duty.
C. It improves personal abilities. D. It encourages individual efforts.
14. The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means _____.
A. those who try their best to win
B. those who value competition most highly
C. those who are against competition most strongly
D. those who rely on others most for success
15. Which point of view may the author agree to?
A. Every effort should be paid back.
B. Competition should be encouraged.
C. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.
D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.

Do you know that over ten million American kids go to camp every summer? 16 Back then, before the air conditioner was invented, hot city summers were uncomfortable and even unhealthy for children, so escaping to the country for a few weeks became a popular trend.
Today, kids have different reasons for making camp a part of their lives, such as:
To meet new people
Camp might give you a chance to be with people from different states, or even different countries. It's a great way to make new friends and learn about different places and cultures. Michiko, 13, put it like this:"I loved camp. I met this girl named Manny who lives in New York (I live in New Jersey) and she is cool. 17 We taught each other words. We liked to swim in the pool a lot."
To challenge yourself
18 Fresh challenges--like trying new sports, learning new crafts and games, or pushing yourself to achieve something—can be very rewarding. Take it from Arabella, 13, who told us:"I went to summer camp and I passed my swimming test! So it was a big accomplishment. 19 "
To appreciate nature
There's a great big natural world out there, and going to camp helps you learn how beautiful and important it really is. 20 Getting out into the woods or mountains can give you a better understanding of how the web of life works.
A. Not all the things that kids do at camp are easy.
B. She speaks Spanish and I speak Japanese.
C. I felt great afterwards.
D. It's also a great way to learn about teamwork and tolerance(包容).
E. Summer camp has been a U.S. tradition for over 150 years.
F. When you get right down to it, going to camp is all about having a good time.
- 12 -
G. Without trees, soil, water, and wildlife, the Earth couldn't survive.

作文范文：
Dear Li Hua,
I’ve received and read your e-mail. From which I know you are in sorrow because you failed in the first exam after entering senior middle school. In fact, your problem is common among high school freshmen. Here’re my ideas on how to deal with the problem.
First, have a positive view on a failure in the exam. It’s usual that one meets failures, for one's life can never be plain sailing. Second, turn to your teachers for help and find out the root cause. To know the disease is half the cure. In addition, why not take part in as many hobby group activities as you can? If so, loneliness will move away from you. In short, combining the points above well, you’ll be able to get out of your present trouble.
As a friend, I sincerely hope you become mentally healthier and sunnier.
