Before he started primary school, his mother was worried that the other kids would bully him and that he wouldn’t have any friends. So she was surprised when Tom came home in a good mood, and had many things to share every day. She went to his school one day, and saw him playing basketball with some boys. The ball hit Tom several times, but instead of laughing at him, the others helped him.

year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn't fit．I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model，I realized this a day late，when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy﹣five dollars less than I had paid，The set worked so beautifullywhen I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night，Fortunately，I didn't got any channels showing all﹣night movies or I would never have gotten to bed．Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static （静电）noise．For some reason，when certain shows switched into a commercial，a loud noise would sound for a few seconds．Gradually，this noise began to appear during a show，and to get rid of it，I had to change to another channel and then change it back．Sometimes this technique would not work，and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound．I actually began to build up my arm muscles（肌肉）shaking my set．When neither of these methods removed the static noise，I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away．At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist，and it stopped working altogether．My trip to the repair shop cost me $62，and the set is working well now，but I keep expecting more trouble．21．Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set？A．He got an older model than he had expected．B．He couldn't return it when it was broken．C．He could have bought it at a lower price．D．He failed to find any movie shows on it．22．Which of the following can best replace the phrase"signed off"in Paragraph 1？A．ended all their programsB．provided fewer channelsC．changed to commercialsD．showed all﹣night movies23．How did the author finally get his TV set working again？A．By shaking and hitting it．B．By turning it on and off．C．By switching channels．D．By having it repaired．24．How does the author sound when telling the story？A．CuriousB．AnxiousC．CautiousD．Humorous．25．（8分）Your house may have an effect on your figure．Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off．You can make your environment work for you instead of against you．Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan．Open the curtains and turn up the lights．Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating，for people are often less self﹣conscious（难为情）when they're in poorly lit places﹣and so more likely to eat lots of food．If your home doesn't have enough window light，get more lamps and flood the place with brightness．Mind the colors．Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites．In one study，people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33percent less than those in a yellow or red room．Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing，while cold colors make us feel less hungry．So when it's time to repaint，go blue．Don't forget the clock﹣or the radio．People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70fewer calories（卡路里）per meal than those who rush through their meals．Begin keeping track of the time，and try to make dinner last at least 30minutes，And while you're at it，actually sit down to eat．If you need some help slowing down，turn on relaxing music．It makes you less likely to rush through a meal．Downsize the dishes，Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat．We eat about 22percent more when using a 12﹣inch plate instead of a 10﹣inch plate．When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one，total intake（摄入）jumps by 14percent．And we'll pour about 30percent more liquid into a short，wide glass than a tall，skinny glass．25．The text is especially helpful for those who care about．A．their home comfortsB．their body shapeC．house buyingD．healthy diets26．A home environment in blue can help people．A．digest food betterB．reduce food intakeC．burn more caloriesD．regain their appetites27．What are people advised to do at mealtimes？A．Eat quickly．B．Play fast music．C．Use smaller spoons．D．Turn down the lights．28．What can be a suitable title for the test？A．Is Your House Making You Fat？B．Ways of Serving DinnerC．Effects of Self﹣ConsciousnessD．Is Your Home Environment Relaxing？29．（8分）More

color television has given me nothing but a headache．I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn't fit．I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model，I realized this a day late，when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy﹣five dollars less than I had paid，The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night，Fortunately，I didn't got any channels showing all﹣night movies or I would never have gotten to bed．Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static （静电）noise．For some reason，when certain shows switched into a commercial，a loud noise would sound for a few seconds．Gradually，this noise began to appear during a show，and to get rid of it，I had to change to another channel and then change it back．Sometimes this technique would not work，and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound．I actually began to build up my arm muscles（肌肉）shaking my set．When neither of these methods removed the static noise，I would sit helplessly andwait for the noise to go away．At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist，and it stopped working altogether．My trip to the repair shop cost me $62，and the set is working well now，but I keep expecting more trouble．21．Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set？CA．He got an older model than he had expected．B．He couldn't return it when it was broken．C．He could have bought it at a lower

repaired．24．How does the author sound when telling the story？DA．CuriousB．AnxiousC．CautiousD．Humorous．【分析】我的彩电尽让我头疼了．一年多以前，因为亲戚给了买生日礼物的钱，没去买许多不合适的衣服，所以就买了它．我受到店员的蒙蔽买了一台停产的机型．当我看到这种电视的报纸广告上是75美元，要比我买的便宜时，我意识到我上当了．最初把它买回家时，这台电视是如此的好以至于我常把它开到晚上节目结束．幸好，我没有发现哪个频道是放一整晚影片的，否则，我会一夜不睡觉．后来我发现了电视有静电噪音的问题，不知什么原因，当电视节目变成广告的时候，很大的噪音就会响上几秒，渐渐地，这种声音开始出现在节目中，为了去掉这种噪音，我不得不来回换频道．有时候这样做也不起作用，为了去掉这种声音，我只好搬起电视来回晃动．实际上，晃电视的同时，我还锻炼了胳膊上的肌肉．当这两种方法都没有消除静态噪音时，我只能无助的坐等噪音消失．最后我终于用拳头砸了电视，它完全坏了．我去修理厂花费了62美元，现在电视修好了，但我认为还会有更多的麻烦．【解答】21选C 细节推理题根据第一段．"I realized this a day late，when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy﹣five dollars less than I had paid"当我看到这种电视的报纸广告上是75美元，要比我买的便宜时，我意识到我上当了．答案C 他本来能以更低的价格买到它．故选C22选A 词义推测题根据后一句"Fortunately，I didn't got any channels showing all﹣night movies or I would never have gotten to bed．（"幸好，我没有发现哪个频道是放一整晚影片的，否则，我会一夜不睡觉．）可知，应该是"我常把它开到晚上节目结束"，所以"signed off"应该是"停止播放"的意思，也就是没有节目了．故选A．23选D 细节理解题根据文章最后一段"My trip to the repair shop cost me $62，and the set is working well now．"我去修理厂花费了62美元，现在电视修好了．故选D24选D 推理判断题．根据"I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound．I actually began to build up my arm muscles（肌肉）shaking my set．"为了去掉这种声音，我只好搬起电视来回晃动．实际上，晃电视的同时，我还锻炼了胳膊上的肌肉．"可知作者语调幽默．故选D．25．（8分）（2015•新课标Ⅱ）Your house may have an effect on your figure．Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off．You can make your environment work for you instead of against you．Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan．Open the curtains and turn up the lights．Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating，for people are often less self﹣conscious（难为情）when they're in poorly lit places﹣and so more likely to eat lots of food．If your home doesn't have enough window light，get more lamps and flood the place with brightness．Mind the colors．Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites．In one study，people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33percent less than those in a yellow or red room．Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing，while cold colors make us feel less hungry．So when it's time to repaint，go blue．Don't forget the clock﹣or the radio．People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70fewer calories（卡路里）per meal than those who rush through their meals．Begin keeping track of the time，and try to make dinner last at least 30minutes，And while you're at it，actually sit down to eat．If you need some help slowing down，turn on relaxing music．It makes you less likely to rush through a meal．Downsize the dishes，Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat．We eat about 22percent more when using a 12﹣inch plate instead of a 10﹣inch plate．When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one，total intake（摄入）jumps by 14percent．And we'll pour about 30percent more liquid into a short，wide glass than a tall，skinny glass．25．The text is especially helpful for those who care about B．A．their home comfortsB．their body shapeC．house buyingD．healthy diets26．A home environment in blue can help people B．A．digest food betterB．reduce food intakeC．burn more caloriesD．regain their appetites27．What are people advised to do at mealtimes？CA．Eat quickly．B．Play fast music．C．Use smaller spoons．D．Turn down the lights．28．What can be a suitable title for the test？AA．Is Your House Making You Fat？B．Ways of Serving DinnerC．Effects of Self﹣ConsciousnessD．Is Your Home Environment Relaxing？【分析】本文属于议论文阅读，主要向我们介绍了自己家的房子对我们的身材很有影响．身材变化的关键是看你如何设计自己的家．这里给出了保持身材的四点设计建议：1．房间要明亮；2．用冷色系会减少食欲；3．放一些舒缓的音乐就餐；4．用小的碗碟就餐．【解答】25．B 推理判断题．根据全文第一段Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan．可知要让你的家的设计成为你减肥计划的一部分．所以这篇文章对那些在乎自己的身材的人更有帮助．故选B．26．B 细节理解题．根据第三段In one study，people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room．可知在蓝色的房间内，人吃的食物相对在黄色或者红色房间减少33%，因此在蓝色的房间能帮助人减少摄入的食物，故选B．27．C 推理判断题．根据最后一段When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one，total intake（摄入）jumps by 14 percent．用大勺和小勺吃饭，相差14%，因此建议人们用小勺吃饭，C正确；误解分析：由第4段People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories（卡路里）per meal than those who rush through their meals．，说明吃得慢就吃得少，吃得快就多，故A错；If you need some help slowing down，turning on relaxing music．说明放舒缓的音乐可以让人吃得慢，反之则快，故B错；第二段Dark environments are more likely to encourageovereating，由此可知房间暗会增加饮食，所以D错；故选C．28．A 主旨大意题．根据第一段Your house may have an effect on your figure．Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off．you can make your environment work for you instead of against you．可知你的家居环境既可以让你变胖也会让你变瘦，故选A．29．（8分）（2015•新课标Ⅱ）More student than ever before are taking a gap﹣year （间隔年）before going to university．It used to be called the"year off"between school and university．The

As an inexperienced teacher, I tried every means to get them to be 36 , but in vain. my panic was rising and I could feel my heart beating wildly. This was the 37 of my job as a music teacher, I thought -- teaching was not for me. Then I had an idea. Hoping that no one would notice that I was 38 inside, I threw my voice as far as it would reach: "Put your heads on the desks and close your 39 ! We are going on a journey."40 , the children fell silent. "Now what should I do?" I thought to myself. Reaching over to my collection of CDs, I blindly 41 , put it in the machine and played it.Obediently (顺从地), my class lay their heads on their desk, closed their eyes and 42 .

For all you information, you don't have to go to 49 library to find the relevant resource and take notes on it. Instead, you can find some sources from the Internet 50 printthe copies needed.

You need to learn 54 to sort through and find the relevant information for your particular project. Also, 55 need to check the accuracy of it.Part ⅢReading Comprehension (30 marks)Directions:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished .statements For each of them there are four chokes marked A．B．C and D．Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.A56．Michael Horan wrote the letter mainly to show that _______.A．drivers should be polite to cyclistsB．road accidents can actually be avoidedC．some pedestrians are a threat to road safetyD．walking while using phones hurts one's eyes 57．Carol Harvey suggests that cyclists should _______.A．be provided with enough roadsB．be asked to ride on their own lanesC．be made to pay less tax for cyclingD．be fined for laughing at policemen58．What is a complaint of JML?A．Very few drivers are insured.B．Cyclists ride fast on pavements.C．Pedestrians go through red traffic lights.D．Horse riders disrespect other road users.59．The underlined word "they" in the third letter refers to ______.A．accidents B．vehicles C．pedestrians D．cyclists 60．The three letters present viewpoints on _______.A．real source of road dangerB．ways to improve road facilitiesC．measures to punish road offencesD．increased awareness of road rulesBIn its early history, Chicago had floods frequently, especially in the spring, making the streets so muddy that people, horses, and carts got stuck. An old joke that was popular at the time went something like this: A man is stuck up to his waist in a muddy Chicago street. Asked if he needs help, he replies, "No, thanks. I've got a good horse under me."The city planner decided to build an underground drainage (排水) system, but there simply wasn't enough difference between the height of the ground level and the water level. The only two options were to lower the Chicago River or raise the city.An engineer named Ellis Chesbrough convinced me the city that it had no choice but to build the pipes above ground and then cover them with dirt. This raised the level of the city's streets by as much as 12 feet.This of course created a new problem: dirt practically buried the first floors of every building in Chicago. Building owners were faced with a choice: either change the first floors of their buildings into basements, and the second stories into main floors, or hoist the entire buildings to meet the new street level. Small wood-frame buildings could be lifted fairly easily. But what about large, heavy structures like Tremont Hotel, which was a six-story brick building?That's where George Pullman came in. He had developed some house-movingskills successfully. To lift a big structure like the Tremont Hotel, Pullman would place thousands of jackscrews (螺旋千斤顶) beneath the building's foundation. One man was assigned to operate each section of roughly 10 jackscrews. At Pullman's signal each man turned his jackscrew the same amount at the same time, thereby raising the building slowly and evenly. Astonishingly, the Tremont Hotel stay open during the entire operation, and many of its guests didn't even notice anything was happening. Some people like to say that every problem has a solution. But in Chicago's early history, every engineering solution seemed to create a new problem. Now that Chicago's waste water was draining efficiently into the Chicago River, the city's next step was to clean the polluted river.61．The author mentions the joke to show ______.A．horses were fairly useful in ChicagoB．Chicago's streets were extremely muddyC．Chicago was very dangerous in the springD．the Chicago people were particularly humorous62．The city planners were convinced by Ellis Chesbrough to_______.A．get rid of the street dirtB．lower the Chicago RiverC．fight against heavy floodsD．build the pipes above ground63．The underlined word "hoist" in Paragraph 4 means "_______".A．change B．lift C．repair D．decorate64．What can we conclude about the moving operation of the Tremont Hotel?A．It went on smoothly as intended.B．It interrupted the business of the hotel.C．It involved Pullman turning ten jackscrews.D．It separated the building from its foundation.65．The passage is mainly about the early Chicago's ______.A．popular life styles and their influencesB．environmental disasters and their causesC．engineering problems and their solutionsD．successful businessmen and their achievementsCHave your parents ever inspected your room to see if you cleaned it properly? Imagine having your entire houses, garage, and yard inspected at any time—with no warning. Inspections were a regular part of lighthouse (灯塔) living, and a keeper's reputation depended on results. A few times each year, an inspector arrived to look over the entire light station. The inspections were supposed to be a surprise, but keeper sometimes had advance notice.Once lighthouses had telephones, keepers would call each other to warn that the inspector was approaching. After boats began flying special flags noting the inspector aboard, the keeper's family made it a game to see who could notice the boat first. As soon as someone spotted the boat, everyone would do last-minute tidying and change into fancy clothes. The keeper then scurried to put on his dress uniform and cap. Children of keepers remember inspectors wearing white gloves to run their fingers over door frames and windowsills looking for dust.Despite the serious nature of inspections, they resulted in some funny moments. Betty Byrnes remembered when her mother did not have time to wash all the dishes before an inspection. At the time, people did not have dishwashers in their homes. In an effort to clean up quickly, Mrs. Byrnes tossed all the dishes into a big bread pan, covered them with a cloth and stuck them in the oven. If the inspector opened the oven door, it would look like bread was baking. he never did.One day, Glenn Furst's mother put oil on the kitchen floor just before the inspector entered their house. Like floor wax, the oil made the floors shiny and helped protect the wood. This time, though, she used a little too much oil. When the inspector extended his hand to greet Glenn's mother, he slipped on the freshly oiled surface. "He came across that floor waving his arms like a young bird attempting its first flight," Glenn late wrote. After he steadied himself, he shook Glenn's mother's hand, and the inspection continued as though nothing had happened.66．What does Paragraph I tell us about the inspection at the light station?A．It was carried out once a year.B．It was often announced in advance.C．It was important for the keeper's fame.D．It was focused on the garage and yard.67．The family began making preparations immediately after ______.A．one of the members saw the boatB．a warning call reached the lighthouseC．the keeper put on the dress uniform and capD．the inspector flew special flags in the distance68．Mrs. Byrnes put the dishes in the oven because this would ______.A．result in some funB．speed up washing themC．make her home look tidyD．be a demand from the inspector69．If the inspector had opened the oven door, he would have seen _______.A．an empty panB．many clean dishesC．pieces of baked breadD．a cloth covering something70．The inspector waved his arms ______.A．to try his best to keep steadyB．to show his satisfaction with the floorC．to extend a warm greeting to Glenn's motherD．to express his intention to continue the inspectionPart IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Not all print dictionaries are the same, as you will notice when you select one. To make a wise selection, you should know how to distinguish among three kinds of print dictionaries: pocket, desk, and unabridged. You should also know the copyright date of your dictionary, and check is special features.A pocket dictionary is small. Generally, it contains no more than 75000 entries, making it hardly to carry to class and efficient to use. However, a pocket dictionary doesn't contain enough entries to be adequate for college reference homework. In addition, the information about each word in a pocket dictionary is generally limited. A desk dictionary is medium sized, generally containing over 100,000 entries as well as extra features. For college work, you should own a current desk dictionary. An unabridged dictionary is a complete dictionary. Abridged dictionaries, such as pocket and desk dictionaries, are shortened. Because unabridged dictionaries contain nearly all English words, they are large and heavy. They are often used by schools and libraries.If the copyright date of your current dictionary shows that it was published five or more years ago, consider investing in a more recent edition. English is a dynamic language that admits new words and recognizes changes in meaning, spelling, and usage of familiar words. This is reflected in an up-to-date dictionary.In selecting a dictionary, check the features it offers besides vocabulary definitions. Many editions contain signs, symbols and foreign words. Some also contain CD-ROMs and access to special online features.Section B (10 mark.)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Walk Out of the Comfort Zone and Try New Things For most high school students, free periods are useless. From what I have seen, few do homework, instead many are on their phones and talking, making it impossible for those who actually want to do work to complete any. As a senior next year, I think extra periods should be used to take optional subjects.Our school offers many classes. Now is the time to experiment in different fields ofstudy. We will never know if we are interested or talented in a subject if we don't try it.In my 8th grade, I was told that I had to take an art class as a graduation requirement; so in the 9th grade I took Studio and Art. One of the projects was to build a clay pot, but I built mine incorrectly, so it broke in the kiln (窑). I found out that I have no artistic ability at all, and now I know for sure that I do not want to be an artist. However, the class was one of my favorites that year. I was able to try new activities and test my ability.Walk out of our comfort zone and try new things! College is when we should focus on a specific major, but high school is when we have to figure it out.Half of all college students change their major at some point. By doing that hundreds of dollars are wasted on classes that they would have never needed to take. So use our extra periods to find out what we want to do in college. The classes we choose can impact us in future. Taking optional subjects will enrich our mind. It will also show colleges we are diverse students.81．How should we use our extra periods in the author's opinion?(No more than 9 words) (2 marks) ______________________________________________________________________ 82．Why does the author think we should experiment in different fields of study?(No more than 17 words) (2 marks) ______________________________________________________________________ 83．Why did the clay pot show the author's lack of artistic ability?(No more than 10 words) (3 marks) ______________________________________________________________________ 84．According to the author, how will taking optional subjects impact up in the future?(No more than 13 words) (3 marks) ______________________________________________________________________ Section C (25 marks)Directions:Write an English composition according to the instructions given below.请以老师当众表扬你为话题, 用下面所给的句子开头, 续写一篇英语短文。

Betty Byrnes remembered when her mother did not have time to wash all the dishes before an inspection. At the time, people did not have dishwashers in their homes. In an effort to clean up quickly, Mrs. Byrnes tossed all the dishes into a big bread pan, covered them with a cloth and stuck them in the oven. If the inspector opened the oven door, it would look like bread was baking. he never did.One day, Glenn Furst's mother put oil on the kitchen floor just before the inspector entered their house. Like floor wax, the oil made the floors shiny and helped protect the wood. This time, though, she used a little too much oil. When the inspector extended his hand to greet Glenn's mother, he slipped on the freshly oiled surface. "He came across that floor waving his arms like a young bird attempting its first flight," Glenn late wrote. After he steadied himself, he shook Glenn's mother's hand, and the inspection continued as though nothing had happened.66. What does Paragraph I tell us about the inspection at the light station?A. It was carried out once a year.B. It was often announced in advance.C. It was important for the keeper's fame.D. It was focused on the garage and yard.67. The family began making preparations immediately after ______.A. one of the members saw the boatB. a warning call reached the lighthouseC. the keeper put on the dress uniform and capD. the inspector flew special flags in the distance68. Mrs. Byrnes put the dishes in the oven because this would ______.A. result in some funB. speed up washing themC. make her home look tidyD. be a demand from the inspector69. If the inspector had opened the oven door, he would have seen _______.A. an empty panB. many clean dishesC. pieces of baked breadD. a cloth covering something70. The inspector waved his arms ______.A. to try his best to keep steadyB. to show his satisfaction with the floorC. to extend a warm greeting to Glenn's motherD. to express his intention to continue the inspectionPart IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passageWrite NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Not all print dictionaries are the same, as you will notice when you select one. To make a wise selection, you should know how to distinguish among three kinds of print dictionaries: pocket, desk, and unabridged. You should also know the copyright date of your dictionary, and check its special features.A pocket dictionary is small. Generally, it contains no more than 75,000 entries, making it easy to carry to class and efficient to use. However, a pocket dictionary doesn't contain enoughentries to be adequate for college reference homework. In addition, the information about each word in a pocket dictionary is generally limited. A desk dictionary is medium-sized, generally containing over 170,000 entries as well as extra features. For college work you should own a current desk dictionary. An unabridged dictionary is a complete dictionary. Abridged dictionaries, such as pocket and desk dictionaries, are shortened. Because unabridged dictionaries contain nearly all English words, they are large and heavy. They are often used by schools and libraries.If the copyright date of your current dictionary shows that it was published five or more years ago, consider investing in a more recent edition. English is a dynamic language that admits new words and recognizes changes in meaning, spelling, and usage of familiar words. This is reflected in an up-to-date dictionary.In selecting a dictionary, check the features it offers besides vocabulary definitions. Many editions contain signs, symbols and foreign words. Some also contain CD-ROMs and access to special online features.71.Select 72.inadequate73.wold information 74.desk dictionary75.extra features rge and heavy77.schools and libraries 78.admitting new words79.check 80.access toSection B (10 mark.)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Walk Out of the Comfort Zone and Try New ThingsFor most high school students, free periods are useless. From what I have seen, few do homework; instead many are on their phones and talking, making it impossible for those who actually want to do work to complete any. As a senior next year, I think extra periods should be used to take optional subjects.Our school offers many classes. Now is the time to experiment in different fields of study. We will never know if we are interested or talented in a subject if we don't try it.In my 8th grade, I was told that I had to take an art class as a graduation requirement; so in the 9th grade I took Studio and Art. One of the projects was to build a clay pot, but I built mine incorrectly, so it broke in the kiln (窑). I found out that I have no artistic ability at all, and now I know for sure that I do not want to be an artist. However, the class was one of my favorites that year. I was able to try new activities and test my ability.Walk out of our comfort zone and try new things! College is when we should focus on a specific major, but high school is when we have to figure it out.Half of all college students change their major at some point. By doing that hundreds of dollars are wasted on classes that they would have never needed to take. So use our extra periods to find out what we want to do in college. The classes we choose can impact us in the future. Taking optional subjects will enrich our mind. It will also show colleges we are diverse students.81. How should we use our extra periods in the author's opinion?(No more than 9 words)(2 marks)_______________________________________________________________________________ __________82. Why does the author think we should experiment in different fields of study?(No more than 17 words)(2 marks)_______________________________________________________________________________ __________83. Why did the clay pot show the author's lack of artistic ability?(No more than 10 words)(3 marks)_______________________________________________________________________________ __________84.According to the author, how will taking optional subjects impact up in the future?(No more than 13 words)(3 marks)_______________________________________________________________________________ __________Section C (25 marks)Directions:Write an English composition according to the instructions given below.请以老师当众表扬你为话题，用下面所给的句子开头，续写一篇英语短文。
