On the first day of my new high school, I almost had a nervous breakdown. Everything about
the school seemed so difficult. When I got home, my parents said, “You're nervous and that's okay.
Everyone is afraid of high school.” I denied it. I wanted to be strong, so I refused to let anyone
know about my fear, even my closest friends.
On the first day I was late for every class and was constantly lost. The school seemed like a
puzzle that I couldn't figure out. Was this how the whole year was going to be? I didn't think I
could rise to this challenge, especially carrying a huge backpack that I could hardly lift. It was so
big that I could knock someone out with it!
Despite my fears, after the first week I finally had my schedule figured out. With the
exception of falling up and down the stairs a couple of times and getting laughed at, high school
was turning out to be not so bad. It was actually much better than middle school and much more
challenging. Since then, I've been elected (选举) the vice monitor of my class, which wasn't much
of a victory since only three people ran for the four positions.
It is normal to be scared of a new school. Take a deep breath and relax. High school is not so
frightening. Make sure you participate in some outofclass activities because you'll find it easier to
make friends. Try to do your best, even if it isn't straight A's.
Most important of all, be who you are, whether you're a “fool”， an athlete, or a lower
grader. Don't try to pretend to be someone you're not. Now you know the secret of my success.
4．The main reason for the author's fear on his first day in high school is that ________.
A．he was not familiar with the new surroundings
B．his schoolmates were unfriendly to him
C．he was unable to work out the puzzle
D．his schoolbag was too heavy for him to carry
5．From the author's first day's experience we can infer that ________.
A．he didn't know the right way to class B．he got to school before classes began
C．he was fond of the school immediately D．his home was far from the school
6．After his first week at school, the author ________.
A．was still not accustomed to the schedule
B．was gradually used to the new school
C．found high school not so challenging as he had imagined
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂D．ran for monitor of his class against three other students
7．According to the passage, the secret of the author's success lies mainly in ________.
A．making more friends B．getting straight A's at school
C．being who he really is D．joining in outofclass activities

Richard Rodriguez from the United States is a great roller coaster fan.Recently he broke his
15th world record after he spent 104 days riding the world’s largest roller coaster.
“It got more difficult to ride and ride because of the muscle tiredness，” Rodriguez, a
teacher at the University of Chicago, said as he stepped down from the ride in a German park.He
spent ten hours a day on the roller coaster.
Rodriguez tried to keep himself busy during the rides on the big roller coaster in a south-
western town in Germany.“I read the newspapers, I have a Walkman, I have my cell phone...so I
try to talk to people and message people during the day，” he said.
Although the 42-year-old man said he felt sick on the first few days, he said he soon got over
the problem.
“My face hurts sharply and I have a little backache, but I am good.”
The “Expedition GeForce” is one of the world’s biggest roller coasters.It measures 62 metres
at its highest point.
On his 95th day on the coaster, after travelling over 25,000 kilometres, Rodriguez had a
toothache and was treated by a local dentist.He went on after that and succeeded in breaking the
record.
Rodriguez celebrated with members of the park staff and his supporters, who had sent him
postcards and e-mails encouraging him not to give up.

From the loss of wildlife to rising sea level, we're all well aware of the problems that climate
change could cause. But while it may seem such issues won't affect most of us directly, it looks
like future generations could grow up without something that many of us now take for granted:
chocolate.
According to an article published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,
changes to the climate in the areas that produce cacao—the plant from which chocolate is
produced—may mean that it will soon become extinct.
Most of the world's cacao grows in countries close to the equator (赤道), with over half of it
growing in the African nations of Ghana and Ivory Coast. It's predicted that by 2050, climate
change will have sped up the rate at which temperatures in these countries rise, making it
extremely difficult for cacao plants to grow there. The problem doesn't lie in increased heat, but in
lower humidity (湿度), as it's believed that rainfall will stay at the same level if the temperature
rises.
“In other words, as higher temperatures squeeze more water out of soil and plants, it's
unlikely that rainfall will increase enough to offset the moisture (水分) loss，” wrote Michon
Scott, the article's author.
To help fight this problem, researchers from University of California, Berkeley in the US are
working on changing the DNA of cacao plants to allow them to survive in dryer conditions by
using gene (基因) editing technology, according to US News. In the meantime, Mars, one of the
world's biggest companies of chocolate products, announced that it would spend 1 billion dollars
helping reduce the effects of climate change.
“This is a world issue, and it requires everyone to work together，” Mars spokesperson
Barry Parkin told Business Insider.
The message here is that if we all do our part, we may be able to prevent some of the worst
influences of climate change. Or if we're unlucky, chocolate will become a thing of the past.
12．The underlined word “offset” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”．
A．make up B．add up
C．dry up D．use up
13．Which is the effective way to rescue cacao?
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂A．By moving cacao plants to proper places.
B．By getting DNA out of cacao plants.
C．By making cacao adapt to the surroundings.
D．By giving a warning to chocolate companies.
14．What will Mars do to help cacao survive?
A．It will work hard to plant cacao in greenhouses.
B．It will use gene editing technology to plant cacao.
C．It will develop cacao that can survive in dryer conditions.
D．It will give financial support to help fight climate change.
15．What is this article mainly about?
A．Some new research and findings about growing cacao.
B．The influence that cacao plants have on climate change.
C．Problems cacao plants would face and the possible solutions.
D．The significance of working together to fight climate change.

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。
Christmas was hanging around. Six-year-old David was thinking what presents he could get
from Santa. He wanted slippers; he wanted a silk tie; he wanted some toys. And school starting
soon, he also hoped to get something about schooling. In order to get Santa to know what he
needed, he thought he would write a letter to Santa, which he believed would bring him those
presents. He found a sheet and made a list of the items on it, and then bent down to post the letter
up the chimney, waiting for the winds to take it up.
David got up very early on the Christmas morning. He searched his room carefully, but to his
disappointment, he didn’t find the presents he had hoped for. Hadn’t Santa received the letter? Was
he too busy to send him the gifts? Although feeling a little upset, David was convinced that Santa
would not forget him and he was bound to receive the items.
Many years had passed and 2019 came. In an old house, a young builder, Lewis Shaw was
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂removing the fireplace with his colleagues when he suddenly found a small piece of paper, which
was still in perfect condition even if it had turned yellow. He picked it up and unfolded it. It was a
letter written to Santa. The touching hand-written note read:
Dear Father Christmas,
Please send me Rupert Annual, a drum, a box of chalks, slippers, a silk tie, a pencil box, any
little toys you have to spare.
Love,
David
It was then signed off with lots of kisses.
This was the very letter written by David and the house was where he had lived during his
childhood! The letter struck Shaw so much. How simple Christmas once was! David didn’t ask for
much, just the things he needed. Nowadays kids always want expensive gifts and take it for
granted.
注意:
(1)所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
(2)续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
Shaw decided to find out the author of the letter. He shared a photo of the note
