参考答案：
Sample 1
Away flows time. There are so many unforgettable things in my school life which are worth mentioning. The most wonderful one, which I’ll remember for good is taking part in the English speech contest.
I used to be a shy boy who lacked confidence. At the beginning of the senior three year my best friend encouraged me to participate in the speech contest. Afraid of delivering an address on the stage, I declined. I, in the end, agreed as he insisted. He helped me practice my speech skills as well as gestures and standing position. My skills were improved, modestly but steadily.
Then came the day of the contest. Nervous as I was, I walked onto the stage, smile on face. With so many people seated in the hall, I felt anxious and my speech was not fluent at first. When I saw my friend listening attentively, I remembered the nights we spent together practicing speech. I was inspired and the speech flowed on successfully. The audience applauded with appreciation at the end of the speech while I happily
found I was no longer the shy boy. It was the support from my friend that enabled me to gain confidence.
While life in senior three is occupied, wonderful things take place every day, the precious friendliness has left such a deep impression on my mind that I will never forget it. (231 words)
(9+9+4=23)
Sample 2
The thing that impressed most in grade 12 took place on a Sunday morning. That was when I took part in an English contest, in the final stage.
The contest was so difficult that I thought the only thing I could do was to wish myself good luck. The listening comprehension was unlike what I’d prepared for, so I just tried my best. But when I moved to the reading part, the situation got better. What I’d thought to be greek turned out to be just the combination of words I knew the meaning of. I felt a little bit happier. As to the writing, I had wanted to give it up and let my creation fly, but I surprisingly found that I had a lot to say about the topics. I even used the stories of a scientist I’d read about to support my idea! Then it was an oral exam. Although it was a contest, I still told the teachers exact what I had in mind. I didn’t have anything fancy to say, but the thoughts were genuine.
The result came and I won the third prize! At first I thought it was sheer luck, but then I realized that what I had learned helped a lot. I didn’t mean to prepare for it, but what I had done brought me what I deserved. Even though I’m no faced with the college entrance exam, I still know that what really matters is the process of learning. Do your job and the result won’t fail you! (257 words)
(8+8+4=20)
Sample 3
Do you have the fear of acting on the stage? Well, I do, at least before I was asked to perfo rm at the school’s Arts Festival.
As the Arts Festival drew near, the teachers asked me to read an English poem, which made my heart jump. This would be a perfect chance to show my English talents, but not in front of the whole school! I was a shy boy that even freaked out when speaking in front of my class. As I strongly opposed to this kind offer, the teacher told me, “You’ll never know how things go unless you give it a try.”
Encouraged as I was, I repeated the poem in front of the mirror for countless times, being more confident every time. The day finally came and I was on the stage, sharing the beauty of English with the whole school. I managed to read the poem in an idiomatic accent without a single mistake and I wasn’t really that nervous as I thou ght I would be.
I was filled with pride as the sound of applause rose in every corner of the auditorium.
Just as my teacher said, taking the first step toward the unknown is the greatest achievement, I will pump myself up for all the coming challenges in life and I will never forget my first step on the stage. (227 words)
(6+8+3=17)
Sample 4
The life of Senior 3 is like a chocolate having lots of tastes. My most impressive taste is the experiences of participating in the Physics Olympics.
The days that I spent preparing for the contest are full of depression and happiness. I enjoyed the moment when I worked out a difficult problem. My pals and I often argued about a ambiguous problem for a long time. However, the taste was terrible sometimes.
I read the reference books till midnight and did a lot of exercises. I believed that my dream would come true if I worked hard enough.
To my disappointment, I failed to get the award. But I think the tears and experiences will become my most valuable wealth in the future. (123 words)

三、阅读理解
20.
Today about 70 countries use Daylight Saving Time (DST). Daylight Saving was first introduced during World War I in Australia. During the world wars, DST was used for the late summers beginning January 1917 and 1942, and the full summers beginning September 1942 and 1943.
In 1967, Tasmania experienced a drought（干旱）. The State Government introduced one hour of daylight saving that summer as a way of saving power and water. Tasmanians liked the idea of daylight saving and the Tasmanian Government has declared daylight saving each summer since 1968. Persuaded by the Tasmanian Government, all states except two passed a law in 1971, for a test use of daylight saving. In 1972, New South Wales, South Australia and Victoria joined Tasmania for regular daylight saving, but Queensland did not do so until 1989.
Tasmania, Queensland and South Australia have had irregular plans, often changing their dates due to politics or festivals（节日）. For example, in 1992, Tasmania extended（延长）daylight saving by an extra month while South Australia began extending daylight saving by two weeks for the Adelaide Festival. Special daylight saving plans were made during the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.
The differences in daylight saving in Australia continue to cause serious problems in transport and many other social activities. It also reduces the number of hours in the working day that are common to all centers in the country. In particular, time differences along the east coast cause major differences, especially for the broadcasters of national radio and television.
72. Daylight Saving Time was introduced in Tasmania _______________.
A. to stop the drought in 1967
B. to support government officials
C. to pass a special law in the state
D. to save water and electricity
73. According to the text, which state was the last to use DST?
A. Victoria.
B. Queensland.
C. South Australia.
D. New South Wales.
74. What can we learn about DST in some Australian states?
A. It doesn’t have fixed dates.
B. It is not used in festivals.
C. Its plan was changed in 2000.
D. It lasts for two weeks.
75. What do we know about the use of DST from the last paragraph?
A. There exist some undesirable effects.
B. It helps little to save energy.
C. It brings about longer working days.
D. Radio and TV programs become different.

21. Do teenagers know how to sleep? If you’re the parent of teens, you might be laughing
to yourself. That’s all they know how to do. In truth, teens might not know enough about how to sleep, when to sleep and why.___16___ .
Just as we focus on our diets and exercise for health, we need to consider sleep necessary
to our mental, physical and psychological health. “Good” sleep is sleep that is long enough to allow your brain to remove the side effects of daytime brain activity. Consistent bed times and wakeup times are the key to keeping our sleep cycles.___17___.
Te ens are social creatures, and the most attractive social “gathering” place these days is on
their digital devices.___18___. Ideally, we should avoid blue light for at least half an hour before bed. But social media and homework that requires screen time mean too many kids are powering up their devices when their bodies should be powering down for the night.
___19___. Equally contributing to sleep issues are eating too late, taking naps, and failing to get enough exercise. In other words, these people never learned how to sleep.
Over time, poor sleep leads to a decline in mood.___20___. Significantly, when I speak to my adult patients who are struggling with sleep issues, nearly all of them say their sleep problems started in high school.
Therefore, I recomme nd sleep education. Otherwise, we won’t necessarily solve the health, safety and economic issues of sleepy teens.
A. When they are disturbed, our sleep is affected
B. Going to bed too late is only one part of sleep problems
C. Being exposed to blue light from our screens delays sleep
D. Current school schedules allow for about seven hours of sleep a night
E. It also contributes to a lot of medical issues, from being fat to heart disease
F. Later school start time really contributes to more sleep and improved health
G. As far as I’m concerned, one important element is missing: sleep education
