Besides, I dont know what your middle school was like, but high school teachers will not care about things such as how much homework you already have in one night. Its best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to.Frank, Aged 21I think almost every kid feels both nervous and excited before their first day. You will probably love it. I know I did. You should join some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck!Eddie, Aged 20When I started high school I was really nervous too, especially since I had been homeschooled all through middle school and didnt really know anyone. I suppose the best advice would be to just relax. The first couple of days can be a little bit hard, but things will bee easier before you know it.David, Aged 19Im not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening（令人恐惧的）. But youll get used to it. Dont be afraid of anyone; upperclassmen will pick on you more if you let them know youre afraid. Just take it easy. Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly. After the first week its really not bad at all. Dont worry.21.

SharonD. EddieBGood evening parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends. I would like to thank you all for ing on this very special day for every student on this stage. I know how proud you must be. As we have grown over the years, there are many steps and stages we all have gone through. From learning our shapes and colors, to getting our first kiss in middle school, or how about explaining to our parents why we skipped school because the headmaster called home. As we remember these days, things that weve done will be with us forever. But this is only the start of our journey. To graduate is one more step weve taken in our lives.Now I would like to take the time to thank everyone who has helped me get this far. First of all, thank you to all the teachers. None of us would be here without you always pushing our studying abilities to the fullest. My brother Jeramie who always said, “If anyone is meant to you, Ill take care of it.” My mom, thank you for always believing in me and putting up with me. And last but not least, my dad, for proving to me that I always need to take responsibility for my actions and deal with the result. Thank you all! I love you. Now, advice to the students! Many of you think, “This is as good as it gets!” but the future holds a bigger plan for all of us. So good luck and congratulations to the class of xx. We did it!24.

They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website BookCrossing. turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing bines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual（虚拟）. The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.28. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?A. To explain what they are.B. To introduce BookCrossing.C. To stress the importance of reading.D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.29. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The book.B.

Pass it on to another reader.D. Mail it back to its owner.31. What is the best title for the text?A. Online Reading: A Virtual Tour B. Electronic Books: A new TrendC. A Book Group Brings Tradition Back D. A Website Links People through BooksDSome people surveyed tasted the sweet, salty, and crunchy together with other tastes of food as they listen to different noises. It shows that louder noises reduced the reported sweetness or saltiness of food while increasing the measure of crunchiness（松脆）.It may go some way to explain why airline food is widely plained about by both the workers and passengers. Andy Woods, a researcher, said, “Its a general opinion that plane foods arent fantastic, but Im sure airlines do their best, so we wondered if there were other reasons. One thought was that perhaps the background noise may have an effect. NASA gives their space explorers very strong-tasting foods, because for some reason, they cant taste food that strongly again, it may have something to do with the background noise.”In a study, 48 people were fed sweet foods or salty ones, while listening to nothing or noise through earphones. Meanwhile they rated（划分等级）the foods. In noisier settings, foods were rated less salty or sweet than they were when it was silent, but were rated crunchier. “The evidence shows that if the background noise is loud, your attention might be drawn to that, away from the food.” Dr. Woods said.“We are still at an early stage of progressing and this is a rather small study to really draw definitive（最完整可靠的）conclusions from,” Dr Woods said, “but they suggest that restaurants could well adapt their choice of food for a given environment.”Also in the groups findings there is the suggestion that the overall satisfaction with the food is also related to the degree to which people like what they are hearing.32. How does the food taste when it is eaten in a noise environment?A. Less salty but crunchier.B. Sweeter and saltier.C. Sweeter but less crunchy.D. Less sweet and crunchy.33. What does NASA give their space explorers very strong-tasting foods?A. Foods bee less tasty in space.B. The explorers lose their sense of taste in space.C. Loud noises in space may weaken the explorers sense of taste.D. The explorers need tastier foods to keep energetic in space.34. We can infer from what Dr. Woods said in the 4th paragraph that _.A. the environment influences the food a restaurant sellsB. the researchers have made an effective conclusionC. music will weaken peoples sense of taste while eatingD. listening to nothing while eating is the best choice35. What would be the best title for the text?A. The best dinner environmentB. How to change plane foodsC. Listening to music while eatingD. Background noise affects the taste of foods第二节 （共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Advice for High School StudentsAs a person who is graduating from high school very soon, I have some suggestions for students in high school or students who are soon going to be high school students. 36 .
