On the morning of my first day in high school, I was on edge.I'd heard lots of the first day in high school stories.Many high schoolers had bad memories that they Just couldn't let go of for quite a while.On the way to school I was thinking about what to do when I walked into the classroom."Shall I wave to those students who’re in the classroom? Or shall I just give them a smile and nod at them? What if they didn't wave back or didn't smile back?" I couldn't stop imagining the worst situation of my first day in high school

I kept my head down when I got close to my classroom."Hello, little miss, I'm Mrs Sccar, would you like to start your high school life with a game?" What a relief (放松的事) it was to hear your new teacher talking to you in such a pleasant way.Sure, I'd love to.I answered in a low but happy voice

Mrs Sccar gave me a piece of paper and it was a new school Bingo game.On the paper there were 40 squares, with 20 having questions and 20 empty.The questions were like "Have you ever visited England? Do you have three older sisters? Holding these pieces of paper, we went to the other classmates and asked them the questions.If any of them answered "yes" to a question, I wrote down his or her name in the empty square following the question.When I'd filled in all the empty squares, I knew everyone in my classroom.I quite enjoyed my first day in high school, especially the Bingo game

27、With millions of people visiting China’s mountains every year, keeping them trash-free is quite difficult. That’s where Spiderman cleaners come in.

Spiderman cleaners get their name from the dangerous nature of their job. They dangle (悬荡) thousands of feet above the ground on the side of steep mountain cliffs (悬崖), supported only by ropes, as they try to collect hard-to-reach trash. To show the danger of their work and make tourists think twice before littering, some of them actually exchanged their regular uniforms for Spiderman costumes. This has made them a hit with visitors, who often stop to watch these real-life versions of their favourite superhero, rewarding them with applause and cheers when they complete their task.

Spiderman cleaners really risk their life every time they go after a piece of trash left in popular scenic spots by tourists who never stop to think about the impact their deed may have on nature or the people tasked with cleaning up after them. To them, injuries are frequent and the stress is so great that they sometimes faint (晕倒) on the job. Because of the dangerous nature of the job, few people have the courage to work as Spiderman cleaners and those who do are rewarded generously. For example, the Guimeng Scenic Spot put up an ad for a Spiderman cleaner, offering 10,000 yuan a day, but also mentioned that the work was to be performed “at your own risk”.

Spiderman cleaners all around China pick up tons of litter from the scenic mountains every year. Some of them have been doing it for over a decade and they don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. Luckily, after the job has been reported by the national media during the past few years, more people have begun to think twice before littering. Less and less trash has been found in recent years, which means Spiderman cleaners don't have to risk their life as often as they used to.

So the next time you feel like throwing a piece of trash in a scenic spot, spare a thought for these unsung heroes and how they risk their life to keep the world clean for everybody.

【1】What is Spiderman cleaners’ job according to the passage？

A．Collecting plastic bottles and bags for visitors.

28、   Music brings out the best in people, especially in the morning. If you usually wake up feeling sleepy, turn on your music playlist and play your favorite hits. You'll feel instantly happier, and more productive.

It lowers cortisol (皮质醇) levels. You can feel less stressed by listening to your favorite music, according to a study. The stress hormone, cortisol, will lower, and it seems that music speeds up the recovery time after a stress-causing event. So it's only logical that starting your day with a good song can relieve stress caused by external factors, and it will serve as a good start to the day.

Besides, it increases dopamine (多巴胺) levels. Music can increase the production of the dopamine hormone, which is one of the “happy” hormones directly connected to pleasure. It will help to relieve certain negative feelings of anxiety and depression. So if you wake up feeling down, turn on your music playlist.

Listening to music can strengthen your immune system. The sound of the tunes helps the body to produce more antibodies and natural killer cells. These cells can help you attack any viruses you might contract (感染). Basically, your immune system will be more effective at fighting any illnesses.

It stimulates memories. Music can help you remember more, no matter if you like upbeat or slow tunes. Your cognitive (认知的) function will improve once you put your jingle on, and over time, you'll benefit from a stronger memory, according to a study.

It also promotes your creativity. Before heading to the computer desk or laptop, put your headphones on and listen to some music, especially happy tunes. It seems that this type of jingle will make you a more creative person, so all those ideas you were waiting for will flood in. And if you start your workday by being more productive and kicking off all the points on your to-do list, it will definitely make you feel good about yourself.

【1】What changes will listening to music bring to our body?

A．Any viruses will be defeated

B．Our stress will be reduced

C．We will not suffer from depression

D．The dopamine levels will be decreased

【2】Which of the following songs can make us most creative?

A．The Sound of Silence

B．Symphony of Fate

C．Moonlight on the Second Spring

D．Jingle Bells

【3】How does the author develop the passage?

A．By making analyses

B．By giving definitions

C．By giving examples

D．By making comparisons

【4】What's the passage mainly about?

A．The ways of strengthening our immune system

B．The advantages of improving our cognitive function

C．The benefits of listening to music after waking up

D．The methods of speeding up the stress recovery time

29、   I'm an English teacher working in Russia, and for some reason I really don't like that classroom topic - Talk About Your Family. Perhaps it's because everyone studied English from the same book at school. So all the students say, "My family consists of five members: Me, my mother, my father, my brother and my dog…"and so on, as if all families are exactly the same.

Let's get rid of the phrase "my family consists of…"and look at some more interesting ways to talk about families. English is rich in idioms (习语) to talk about family life. We've mentioned the black sheep of the family - that's someone who didn't fit in, or caused a family scandal(丑闻). If you're loyal(忠诚) to your family, you can say blood is thicker than water or keep it in the family. If you share a talent with another family member, you can say it runs in the family. You might have your father's eyes or your mother's nose. If you're like one of your parents, you can say like father, like son or you can be a chip off the old block.

Then there are idioms that have left the family and gone on to have a life of their own. For example, a Londoner is telling someone how to get a new passport. "Get four pictures taken, pick up a form in the post office, hand it in with your old passport and …Bob's your uncle." It means "the problem is solved". But love to know who the original Bob was, and why he was such a useful uncle to have.

【1】Why does the writer dislike the classroom topic Talk About Your Family?  ______

A.Because he works in Russia. B.Because all families are the same.

C.Because all answers are the same. D.Because he has no family there.

【2】When we mention the black sheep of the family, we can refer to someone ______ .

A.who caused a family scandal B.who is loyal to the family

C.who has the father's eyes D.who has a useful uncle

【3】What can you say if you want to express you have the same talent with your brother?  ______

A.Blood is thicker than water. B.It runs in the family.

C.You are the chip of the old block. D.Bob is your uncle.

【4】According to the passage, how do you probably feel when you hear "Bob's your uncle"?  ______

A.sad. B.bored. C.stressed. D.satisfied.

32、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

When I was a teenager, I got lost in a foreign country. I was in Berlin, Germany, only month-long trip in Europe. My team and I had one night there to spend however we pleased. Most of my teammates decided to stay indoors and relax. But I did not want to pass up the chance to explore Berlin.

I visited lots of major attractions around the city that night. When the exhaustion began to set in, I checked the time on my watch. I was surprised to see that it was two o'clock in the morning.

As I walked to a subway station, I realized that it was my dad’s birthday. This would be the first birthday I couldn’t celebrate with him because he died a few months earlier. Before I could begin thinking of my dad, I heard train wheels stop.

I rushed onto the train. At first, I was thankful to have made it onto the train. But that joy quickly turned to panic when I noticed that the train was heading in the wrong direction!

I looked around the nearly empty train. I saw a young woman sitting quietly by the window and approached her.

“Hi, do you speak English? I’m lost. Can you help me?” I asked.

The woman understood. She told me how to return to where I had first gotten on the train. But my anxious mind couldn’t follow her guidance.

Without thinking, I asked, “Can you come with me?”

Her face froze at my stupid request. After a long second of hesitation, she agreed to help me. At that moment, I was grateful for the kindness from a stranger.
