【題目】 Life in an American high school is an interesting and exciting learning experience. High school in America is not just a place for studying some subjects. It is also an important social centre, where students can develop other interests and talents.

The high school course is divided into four years. The teenager usually starts school about 8:00 a.m, and ends at 3 p.m. There is no school on weekends. Students have lunch at the school cafeteria. After lunch they play sports, talk to friends or simply relax. The lunch break lasts about an hour.

When the school day ends, some students go home, but many still stay at school for after-school activities. There are many activities and clubs to choose. In the afternoon many students practise sports with the school students team. Sports are an important part of high school life. American high school students like to be “popular”. This means being a good student, being active in the community and being well-liked by others. Most American high school students have part-time job during the school year and a full-job during the summer. Parents encourage their children to work because it's part of growing up and becoming responsible and independent. Most high schools have a job list to help students find work. Teenagers are fond of their jobs!

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
English words don't stay the same. People need new words for new ideas and new inventions. Different words come into use, or old words are used in a new way.
English can be changed by borrowing words from other languages. The word “tomato” was borrowed from Mexico and “tea” came from China and so on. Now new space and science words are being borrowed from other countries, too. New words can be formed by adding two words together. “Countryside” and “earthquake” are made up of two parts. Sometimes new words are shorter forms of old words. The word “photo” was made from “photograph” by cutting off the end of the longer word. “Plane” was made by cutting off the front part of “airplane”. The names of people and products can become new words, too. Our “sandwich” was named after a man called Sandwich and “sellotape”(透明膠帶) was a name given by the company that first made the product.
（1）New English words are needed because _________.
A.people use old words in a new way
B.the old words are not enough
C.new ideas and new inventions appear all the time
（2）Which of the following words was taken to English from another country?

B.Sandwich.

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，回答問題
We all dream about things that we would like to do we hope to achieve in the future. But are everybody's dreams the same? Here are some of the findings of a survey about hopes and dreams, in which thousands of students across China took part in it.
What are the hopes of teenagers?
We received several different answers to the question: what would you like to do after finishing your education? It seems some students would like to start work as soon as possible, so that they can help provide better lives for their parents. Other students hope to continue studying after finishing school and to go to university. Although money is important, many teenagers said they want to do jobs they enjoy. According to the survey, the most popular choice of job is computer programming.
What are the dreams of teenagers?
Teenagers have all kinds of dreams. Some are more realistic than others. For example, many students said they would like to be volunteers if Beijing could hold the World Cup, maybe working as translators or tour guides. And some said they dream of going to the moon one day.
According to the survey, less realistic dreams are also common, but many students reported that they were willing to work hard to achieve their dreams. Quite a few dream of becoming famous, perhaps famous sports people or singers. Some said they'd like to go on exciting trips; one student said she'd love to sail across the Pacific Ocean. And then there are dreams that are impossible; three students said they'd like to be able to fly!
Conclusion: It was clear from the survey that teenagers have similar hopes. It seems that most students hope to have a good education and find a good job. On the other hand, students dream of very different things: good things, and even crazy things. It is very important to dream, so hold on your dreams; one day they may just come true.
（1）What is the most popular choice of job?
（2）Why would some students like to start work as soon as possible?
（3）Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.
（4）Are teenagers hopes different or similar, according to the survey?
（5）What's the title of the passage?

【題目】閱讀A篇短文，從各題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。A
Jupiter(土星) is the fifth planet from the sun and it is the largest one in the solar system. It is about 11 times bigger than the earth. Jupiter's strangest thing is its huge red spot. Pictures taken from space tell us that the red spot is probably a hurricane(颶風(fēng)). It is so big that the earth would fit right in the middle of it. Sometimes the hurricane looks like a huge oven with orange-red waves (波浪). Some other time the color almost disappears.
On the earth, hurricanes move. We can watch them travel across water to land. Jupiter's red spot also moves. Scientists say it “walks”. It is carried along by air in Jupiter's atmosphere(大氣層).
So far, Jupiter has been visited by four spacecrafts. All of them flew by Jupiter very quickly. On the next trip to Jupiter, a spacecraft will stay near the planet much longer. New information will be sent back to the earth. Soon scientists will know much more about this strange red spot in the atmosphere.
