The Day Everything Changed
I entered the class nervously, not knowing what to expect. Ms. Williams is known for being hard. As I took my
seat, I noticed a girl sitting by the window. She had sandy blond hair pulled into a ponytail（马尾辫）and wore
oversized glasses. I’d seen her before but didn’t know her name.
Throughout the class, she didn’t speak or look up from her notebook. At break, she went to the library
____13____ I wondered what made her so shy and quiet. Later that week, I was partnered with her for an assignment.
Then I knew her name was Lucy. During the project, I realized Lucy was kind and smart. I smiled at her and tried to
include her in the conversation. She gave a small ____14____ in return.
Over the next few months, Lucy and I became close friends. I invited her to sit with me at lunch and join after-
school activities with us. Slowly, Lucy began to open up. She ____15____ about herself, and told me that she

face.
One day Lucy told me a secret. She’d been bullied（欺凌）for a long time at her former school. The rude

From that day on, Lucy and I were inseparable（不可分的）. Her friendship taught me the importance of

三、阅读下列短文, 根据短文内容, 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选择最佳
选项。（共26分, 每小题2分）
A
Many students ask for advice about how to improve their English. Here are three questions from three students
and the advice from Diana at New Standard Magazine. Please find the proper advice for each of the students.
Li Hao: “ I like watching English films and listening to English songs, but I don’t understand
very much. What can I do?”
___21___
Wang Fan: Our school has a teacher from the US. I am shy and I am afraid to speak to her.
What should I do?”
___22___
第3页/共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Zhang Lei: “ I write down new words, but I forget them quickly. How can I remember them?”
___23___
A. English spelling is difficult. You need to have a good knowledge of the way that words are written. For
example, remember that the word “ letter” has double “t” in it.
B. Watching films and listening to songs are great ways to learn English. Watch and listen several times, and guess
the meanings of the new words. I also advise you to talk about the films or songs with your friends.
C. You can say, “Hello! How are you?” “Do you like China?” These are good ways to start a conversation. And
before you begin, you should smile at her. Remember this: Don’t be shy. Just try.
D. Do not worry. It is natural to forget new words! I suggest you write four or five words a day on pieces of paper
and place them in your room. Read the words when you see them, and try to use them.
B
It was a beautiful day, and Lily was excited to go on a school field trip to the zoo. She had been looking
forward to this day for weeks, and nothing could dampen her spirits （影响兴致）. As she and her classmates
walked through the zoo, they came across a group of monkeys.
Lily was attracted by the monkeys and started taking pictures with her phone. As she was about to move on,
she noticed one monkey that seemed different. It wasn’t moving around or playing with the others. Instead, it was
sitting alone, looking sad and lonely.
Lily couldn’t help but feel sorry for the monkey. She wondered why it was alone and why it seemed so sad. As
she walked away, the image of the lonely monkey stayed with her, and she couldn’t shake off the feeling that
something wasn’t right.
The next day, Lily decided to do some research about monkeys and their behavior. She learned that monkeys
are social animals and need to be with others of their kind to be happy and healthy. She also learned that many
monkeys in captivity （圈养）suffer from loneliness and depression.
Lily couldn’t stop thinking about the lonely monkey in the zoo. She knew she had to do something to help.
She reached out to the zoo and asked if there was anything they could do for the monkey. The zookeeper explained
that they were aware of the monkey’s situation and were working on finding it a monkey for company.
Lily was less worried to hear that the zoo was taking actions, but she didn’t stop there. She started an event at
her school to raise money for the zoo to build a monkey sanctuary （保护区）. She talked to her classmates,
teachers, and parents, and everyone was eager to help.

Students may feel a little bit nervous when they are faced with an exam. They may start to sweat and grow
short of breath. They may even become so fearful that they can’t focus or think. This is known as test anxiety,
which can stop students in their tracks.
Stress causes different levels of anxiety. Good stress causes just enough worry to get someone to focus on a
task and do it well. Bad stress, however, does just the opposite. Instead of helping someone to focus, bad stress may
make a person not able to think or focus clearly. This stress response hurts more than it helps. So students should
learn how to deal with anxiety and do well on exams in different ways.
The first step involves keeping good stress from turning into bad stress. The best way to do this is to prepare
the mind and the body. Instead of treating a test as a big challenge, you can use it as a motivator（动力）to learn.
Prepare by making sure you understand what you will be tested on. This will help you do well.
The next step is knowing about your body and recognizing the signs of anxiety before it happens.
Metacognition can help you achieve this. Metacognition is self-awareness of what the mind and body are up to in
the moment. One way to think of it is by placing yourself on a “mental balcony” and evaluating yourself as if
observing from above. Recognizing your own stress signals can help you figure out how to keep from experiencing
increased anxiety.
Relaxation fights anxiety. If you find yourself really panicked （惊慌失措）, take a moment to step back.
Stop and close your eyes. Take deep breaths and think of a peaceful place to calm yourself down. As you relax,
remind yourself that you have prepared and that all will be well.
Remember, we all experience anxiety at times. Whether you’re taking a test, performing, or competing, you
第5页/共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司can apply anxiety—reducing strategies to keep cool. Using stress as a motivator instead of an obstacle can keep you
from getting overly anxious. Coping with anxiety effectively will help you be your best for the test and for any
other challenges you face.
27. According to the passage, which of the following would reduce test anxiety?
A. Keeping questions in mind. B. Placing yourself on a balcony.
C. Allowing yourself to calm down. D. Focusing on your task all the time.
28. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Stress signals can keep away test anxiety.
B. Bad stress prevents a person from focusing or thinking.
C. Using stress as an obstacle helps you do well in exams.
D. Treating a test as a big challenge can reduce test anxiety.
.
29 What is the passage mainly about?
A. The ways to reduce test anxiety. B. The importance of having exams.
C. The introduction of different kinds of stress. D. The reasons to turn bad stress into good stress.

Teens with a greater sense of purpose may be happier and more satisfied with life than their peers who feel
less purposeful.
Studies have suggested that a sense of purpose in life is important for adults’ wellbeing and has many positive
effects on their physical and mental health. However, less is known about its effects in teens who are struggling to
develop their characters and plan for their future, according to the study led by educational psychology professor
Kaylin Ratner.
“Teens who scored high on purposefulness were more satisfied with their lives and experienced more positive
emotions and fewer negative emotions, ” said Ratner. “When these teens felt more purposeful than usual, they also
tended to experience greater wellbeing.”
The project also examined some behavioral and cognitive （认知）patterns related to these teens’ sense of
purpose in life and their overall happiness.
Each day for 70 days, the participants—teens ages 14—19 in a 10-week Learning Challenge project of their
choosing—were asked to rate how purposeful they felt, how satisfied they were with their lives and the levels of
positive and negative emotions they were feeling.
“At the beginning, the participants completed a 28-item survey that assessed （评估） their levels of sub-
clinical autistic traits（亚临床自闭症特征）. A higher score suggested the teen had greater numbers of these
traits,” Ratner said.
第6页/共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Then the participants completed assessments each day, rating on a five-point scale how purposeful they
currently felt. Ratner’s team calculated the average of these daily scores to determine each teen’s behavioral and
cognitive sense of purpose.
“Our findings show that when you feel more purposeful than usual, you have better outcomes,” Ratner said.
“Purpose is accessible to everyone. What we need to do is to help individuals feel more purposeful from day to
day.”
They found that the participants with greater levels of sub-clinical autistic traits tended to report higher levels
of negative feelings, and lower levels of life satisfaction and positive feelings. However, the strength of the
association（联系）between wellbeing and daily purpose was not softened by these traits.
“Our study is one of the most consistent（一贯的）examinations of youths’ purposefulness and helps
strengthen the beneficial influence it has on their wellbeing,” Ratner said. “It may lead to some purposefulness—
promoting interventions to improve the wellbeing of many young people.”
70% of the participants were female. Nearly 31 % were Asian, 22% were African American or Black, 18%
were white and 14% were Hispanic. Because the sample was not representative of all teens in the country, however,
the findings may not be generalized （普遍化）.
30. Who’s the most likely to have better outcomes according to Rater’s study?
A. Jane studies hard but always worries.
B. Mary sets a clear goal and makes a plan.
C. Peter focuses on the result of his daily work only.
D. Tom works fast without paying attention to details.
31. What can we learn from the study mentioned in the passage?
A. One’s character links well-being with daily purpose.
B. Teens’ wellbeing may benefit from their purposefulness.
C. Teens who once had negative feelings scored high on purposefulness.
D. A sense of purpose in life is not so important for adults’ wellbeing as for teens’.
32. The underlined words “is accessible to” in Paragraph 8 probably mean ________.
A. is new to B. is close to C. is hard to get for D. is easy to get for
33. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A. A Sense of Purpose may Have Great Influence on Teens’ Wellbeing
B. Scientists Make Studies on How to Have a Sense of Purpose in Life
C. Much Attention Should Be Paid to Teens’ Physical and Mental Health
D. Negative and Positive Feelings may Have Different Effects on One’s Wellbeing

阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
All energy sources have their pros and cons—their good points and bad points. Modern societies have to make
many decisions about how best to produce energy. The needs of the society have to be balanced against the need to
protect the environment.
Fossil fuels—coal, oil and natural gas—are a leading energy source around the world. They are called fossil
fuels because they were formed from the remains of plants and animals that died many millions of years ago. Since
then, great heat and pressure (压力) deep in the ground have changed them. So the fossil fuels we use today are
found underground.
One of the main advantages of fossil fuels is that they are abundant—found in many places and in large
,
amounts. In addition they contain a lot of usable energy. Coal is especially abundant. A special advantage of
natural gas is that it burns very cleanly. When natural gas burns, it produces mostly carbon dioxide and water vapor.
Oil’s main advantage is that it burns efficiently—meaning that little is wasted in the change to energy. Also, the
refining (提炼) process that makes gasoline (汽油) and diesel produces other petroleum products, which are used in
crayons, bubble gum, eye glasses, and even artificial heart valves.
All fossil fuels are basically non-renewable (不可再生的) because nature cannot create enough to keep up
with demand. Many experts think that the world’s oil wells will be empty in a few decades (十年). But, even before
then, the oil supply will be too small to meet global demands. Also, fossil fuels produce pollutants. Cars, factories,
and many power plants release harmful chemicals into the air. As long as fossil fuels are burned, air pollution will
continue to be a problem.
Another problem is the greenhouse effect. Gases released from burning fossil fuels trap (储存) more heat in
Earth’s atmosphere than would be trapped naturally. This heating up of Earth’s atmosphere is called global
warming. Scientists think carbon dioxide contributes most to worsening the greenhouse effect, so even natural gas
adds to the problem.
We need energy, and the fossil fuels that supply most of our energy will not last forever. Finding renewable
alternatives (替代品) is key to the world’s energy future. Scientists will continue to do research. Each new source
of energy will have its pros and cons, too. Governments and environmentalists will continue to debate which
energy sources are the best while our need for energy continues to grow.
