【題目】Have you ever wondered what an American high school is real like? Now let me describe a typical (典型的) high school and students in it.

A typical American high school has several large buildings and enough space for about 1,500 students. Every student is given a locker. When students arrive at school, they go straight to their lockers to put away or get their textbooks and to hang up their outdoor clothes. As American textbooks are expensive, students would rather loan (租借) than buy them. Students have to pay if they lose any of them.

American students have different types of school transport. They usually take a yellow school bus or walk to school if they live close enough. Sometimes their parents drive them to school. When they turn 16 years of age, most take a free driving class at school for one term. If students earn passing grades in the class and also pass the driver’s exam in their state, they can begin driving themselves to school.

Each day, students take six or seven subjects. They must take Science, Maths, English and Social Studies. They can choose from Art, Homemaking, Fashion Design and other classes.

In some schools students are required to take one or more of the following special subjects: Health Education, Physical Education or Foreign Language Studies. Students move to different classrooms for each subject. This is because each teacher has his or her own classroom. There is a five-minute break between classes to give the students time to hurry to their next class.

The regular school day usually ends early in the afternoon. After school more than half of the students are involved in after-school activities. These activities include sports like football, basketball and baseball, different kinds of clubs, such as Yearbook Club, Speech Club, School Newspaper Club, Photography Club and a student government.

1句意:美國(guó)中學(xué)的生活。根據(jù)全文的大意可知這篇短文主要說的就是美國(guó)中學(xué)里的生活。故填American。

2Outline主要是介紹了美國(guó)學(xué)校生活的細(xì)節(jié)。故填Details。

3根據(jù)文中Every student is given a locker. When students first arrive at school, they go straight to their lockers to put away or get their textbooks and to hang up their outdoor clothes,每個(gè)學(xué)生都有一個(gè)柜子,當(dāng)學(xué)生們來到學(xué)校的時(shí)候,他們直接去他們的柜子放教材以及掛他們戶外的衣服。故填outdoor

4由文中As American textbooks are expensive, students would rather loan (租借)than buy them可知,由于美國(guó)的教材比較貴,學(xué)生們寧愿租書也不會(huì)買書。本題把原文的would rather do than do sth.這一句型轉(zhuǎn)變成了它的同義句型,prefer doing to doing sth.。故填buying

7根據(jù)文中When they turn 16 years of age, most take a free driving class at school for one term. If students earn passing rages in the class and also pass their state driver’s exam, they can begin driving themselves to school可知,當(dāng)他們過了16歲,大多數(shù)學(xué)生會(huì)在學(xué)校參加一次免費(fèi)的駕駛測(cè)試。如果他們通過了這個(gè)考試,他們就可以自己開車去學(xué)校。故填own

8根據(jù)文中In some schools students are required to take one or more of the following special classes可知,在一些學(xué)校,學(xué)生們需要參加一門或更多的特殊的課程。故填special。

10句意:放學(xué)后,大多數(shù)學(xué)生參加他們最喜歡的活動(dòng),包括運(yùn)動(dòng)和俱樂部。take part in 參加。故填part。

【題目】It takes much time to learn a language. There are many reasons to learn a language.

Emigration

When you move to a different country or region, learning the local language will help you to communicate with the local community. Even if many local people speak your language, it’s important to learn their language. It will also give you a better understanding of their culture and way of thinking.

Work

If your work is about languages, talking to them in their own languages will help you to communicate with them. Knowing languages may also increase your chances of finding a new job, getting a promotion or a transfer overseas, or of going on foreign business trips.

Many English-speaking business people don’t bother to learn other languages because they believe that most of the people they do business with in foreign countries can speak English. The lack of foreign language knowledge puts the English speakers at a disadvantage.

Travel

When you go on holiday you can get more information by speaking English. If people don’t understand you, all you have to do is speak slowly and turn up the voice.

Food

Perhaps you enjoy the food and drink of a country or region and make trips there. It is very useful to learn a foreign language.

1The underlined word “chance” means .

A. opportunity B. interest C. instruction D. explanation

2There are reasons to learn a language in the passage.

【題目】 Every place offers the possible dangers for getting hurt, even staying at work. We may face dangers like walking into desks or chairs, receiving unexpected cuts from a paper knife and so on. Industrial jobs have similar and more dangers like getting body parts hurt by machines or falling from a height.

No one wants to get hurt. Some accidents are avoidable(可避免的). Most accidents happen because of common things seen every day—an open desk drawer, a chair pulled out too far, water on the floor and so on. We slowly get used to these things we see every day and never think about what they could possibly become in the future.

Think about the following to prevent dangers to yourself and others:

1. If there is something you see and know may become a danger for yourself or others, do something about it. Close a desk drawer, clean up or put a sign over the water, turn off the power before leaving, and so on.

2. Get extra persons’ help and support on a task that is too hard for a single person.

3. Study the situation and think what could possibly happen and change if necessary. Do it before something happens and you won’t have to say some day, I should have… How sorry I feel…”

To use an old phrase “Safety is everyone’s duty.” Looking down on it could lead to being hurt. Keep the rule in mind every day “Everyone wants to go home in the same condition they came to work in –or better.”
