Keep away from junk food, such as instant noodles, Cola and fried food, for the reason that it may bring you negative emotions. What’s more, it is obvious that exercise regularly is of great help in reducing pressure resulting from high-intensity study. So I suggest you exercise three times a week and 30 minutes each. Most importantly, only when you keep a positive state of mind can you study effectively. When you have negative feelings, it’s necessary to talk to someone such as teachers, parents or close friends. If your friends are not available you can always turn to funny videos for a good laugh.。

AIn Germany there are different kinds of high schools. Some prepare students for workers, others prepare them for college. All schools are great places for making friends and learning German. Short daysMost high schools in Germany begin at about 8∶00 am. and end at about 3∶30 pm. This means your morning will be busy with classes. You will have time to do homework and take part in private clubs after school.Formal settingIn Germany, teachers and students’ relationship is more formal than you might be used to. Teachers are respected and students must use the formal “Sie(德语，您)” when talking to teachers. Getting to schoolMost students take public transport to school or ride a bicycle. Some areas have school buses. It is not common for parents to drive students to school.Private clubsIn many countries, schools offer official sports and afterschool activities. This is less common in Germany. Afterschool activities are usually organized through private clubs. There are clubs for things like soccer, dance, choir, theatre and almost everything else. Once you are in Germany, ask around at school and talk to other students to find out what private clubs are in your area and meet your interests.Different states, different schoolsEach of Germany’s 16 states has its own slightly different school systems.

She did not kno w them but invited them in. “We do not go into a house together,” they replied. And she asked why.One of the old men explained: “His name is Wealth,” pointing to one of his friends, “and he is Success, and I am Love.” Then he added, “ Now go in and discu ss with your husband which one of us you want in your home.”The woman went in and told her husband what had happened. Her husband was overjoyed. “How nice!” he said. “Since that is the case, let Wealth come in and fill our home with wealth!” His wife dis agreed, “My dear, why not invite Success?” Their daughter-in-law gave her own suggestion: “Wouldn’t it be better to invite Love? Our home will be filled with love then.” “Let’s heed our daughter-in-law’s advice,” said the husband to his wife. “Go out and i nvite Love to be our guest.”Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other two also got up and followedhim. Surprised, the woman asked Wealth and Success, “I only invited Love, why are you coming in?”The old men replied together. “If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would have stayed out.

We were so tired when we arrived home, so we left the car in the driveway and decided to unpack it in the morning.At seven o’clock in the morning, we woke up refreshed. But when we opened the front door, there was no car in the driveway! Tere and I looked at each other, looked back at the driveway, and looked at each other again. Then she asked this wonderful question: “Well, where di d you park the car?”Laughing, I answered: “Right in the driveway.”We walked around the block and couldn’t f ind the car，so we called the police. As time went by, Tere became increasingly upset as she remembered more and more of what had been in the car –our wedding album, family photos from past generations and my wallet, just to name a few things. These were items of little importance to our survival, yet they seemed of major importance at that moment. Frustrated, Tere asked me: “How can you remain c ool when all of these things and our brand new car are missing?”I said: “Honey, we can have a stolen car and be upset, or we can have a stolen car and be happy. Either way, we have a stolen car. I truly believe our attitudes and moods are choices, andright now I choose to be happy.”Five days later our car was returned without any of our belongings, and with over $3,000 worth of damage to the car. After I picked up the car from the dealer, I ran into another car, which cost another $3,000 worth of damage.As I was standing in the driveway looking at the car, kicking myself for hitting the other car, Tere arrived home. She put her arm around me and said: “Honey, we can have a wrecked (坏了的) car and be upset, or we can have a wrecked car and be happy. Either way, we have a wrecked car, so let’s choose to be happy.”I surrendered (放弃) with a hearty laugh and we went on to have a wonderful evening together.13.The author’s wife became more and more troubled after their car was stolen when she rea lized ______.A. the author parked the car in the wrong placeB. there was nothing they could do to find the carC. the car was loaded with valuable items they had boughtD. the car was full of things that brought back family memories14.

The stolen car was a Christmas gift from the author’s grandmother.D. In the face of losses, the author and his wife inspired each other.15. Which best presents the key message the author wants to convey with the article?A. Misfortune never comes alone, so be prepared.B. It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.C. Troubles can be a blessing sometimes.D. An error doesn’t become a disaster until you refuse to correct it.第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。

We’re also preparing an online message board where you can leave your name and a message of appreciation for the school. We are looking forward to your active participation and creative ideas as we celebrate our love for our school.读写任务：Possible version:The passage tells us what family values are and the important role they played in holding the family together and shaping our own personality.Family values are what we live by, always directing what we do and what decisions we make. A child is born into a family and becomes a part of the society later. There have to be certain principles in place to determine one’s behavior and ensure a harmonious society.My family values were primarily shaped by my mother. As a child, she always reminded me to be punctual and to work harder. But her greatest gift was teaching me the importance of honesty. She taught me that mistakes in life were unavoidable, but I should never sacrifice my honesty to cover for my mistakes.Honesty has been with me ever since. In my friendships, I’m always willing to admit to errors and never pretend to be all-knowing. That’s why many friends come to me for help. They know I’ll be straight-forward a nd tell them the truth, not only the things they want to hear. As my mother said: “When we’re honest, we earn others’ trust and society’s credit”.附2：评分说明（主观题部分）语法填空评分说明：按照所给答案给分。

The little girl has made it her mission (使命) to help the homeless in her community by giving them a place to sleep. While most other kids at her age are playing with toys, Hailey picks up power tools to build tiny shelters for people living on the streets.Four years ago, Hailey and her mother bought a homeless man a sandwich in her hometown. Then, she realized that she wanted to do more in terms of providing food for the homeless. So she came up with the idea of starting a garden, called “Hailey’s Harvest”, to grow and donate (捐赠) fresh produce. In 2014, Hailey managed to grow 128 pounds of produce and donated every bit of it to a local food bank. The project’s success inspired her to think beyond food. She wanted to give the homeless a roof to spend the night under, so she decided to build small mobile sleeping shelters equipped with basic facilities (设施).With her mother’s help, Hailey applied for a grant from Together Raising, and was awarded $3,000 to help her get started. The wooden homes that Hailey is building will feature (以…为特征) front doors, windows, solar panels(电池板) and so on. Believe it or not, she does most of the work herself, with a bit of guidance from her mother and her grandfather. She is currently halfwaythrough her first home, which she intends to give to Edward, the homeless man who inspired her project.24. What does the underlined word “grant” mean in Para 3?A. An amount of money.B. A business permit.C. A job opportunity.D. A bit of guidance.25.Which one is a feature of the wooden homes for the homeless?A. They have many facilities.B. They can’t be moved.C. They are friendly to the environment.D. They are made of stones.26. What can we infer from the passage?A. Hailey has completed her first home for Edward.B. Local food bank bought the fresh produce from Hailey.C. Hailey wanted to give the homeless more than food.D. Hailey’s mother offered her much advice over building homes.27. What may be the best title for the passage?A. The planned homes for the homeless.B. A nine-year-old girl who helps the homeless.C. A successful project called “Hailey’s Harvest”.D. A helpful organization called “Together Raising”.CIt’s OK to say you’ve never heard of g rime—unless you’re from the UK. That’s because this music was invented in the UK in the early 2000s.To someone who’s not familiar with underground musicculture, it’s easy to get confused between hip-hop and grime since they are both noisy. And many pe ople didn’t bother to tell them apart, until earlier this month when grime stars like Stormzy and J Hus led this year’s Mobo—“music of black o rigin”—award nominations (提名) in the UK.Just like UK electronic music and hip-hop, from which grime drew influence, it mostly reflects the thoughts of young people. But different from hip-hop, grime singers sing in dialects with strong accents, giving a special flavor to their songs.Lady Leshurr, known as the "Grime Queen said that she once tried to hide her accent, as she didn’t want people to judge her. But one day, she realized that she didn’t need to change herself just to please others. And there’s no doubt that this is the most basic and important quality of grime music: be yourself.Also different from the hip-hop culture, which usually focuses on being rich, grime singers pay more attention to social phenomena (现象) like the European refugee (难民) problem and the gap between the rich and poor.Although still quite young, grime seems to be getting favored by more and more people. In 2016, the English grime artist Skepta won the Mercury Prize with his album Konnichiwa, beating big names like David Bowie and Radiohead. However, no matter whether grime is one day accepted by the mainstream music world or not, one thing is for sure: in grime, singers always stay true to themselves.28. What do hip-hop and grime music have in common?A. They are originated in the UK.B. They make a lot of loud noise.C. They challenge traditional cultures.D. They are full of creative ideas.29. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Electronic music.B. Hip-hop.C. Grime music.D. Black music.30. What can be learned about grime singers?A. They care too much about themselves.B. They refuse to be judged by others.C. They tend to take social responsibility.D. They show strong independence qualities.31. What does Skepta’s success suggest?A. Grime is gradually getting recognized.B. Singers should try to be themselves.C. Grime has become mainstream music.D. It is easy to win the Mercury Prize.DIn any theatrical performance the actors are just a small part of the people needed.Once the play has been decided by the director, the actors must be chosen. This is done by casting,a very skillful and important occupation. The actors will create a success or a failure out of a production. They have to be right for the part they will play, and also work well with the director.Production planning is the next important step. The style of the play is confirmed (确定) and then a small model of the different rooms on stage (sets) is created. It will be important that the sets can be taken down and rebuilt easily as the production may travel to different theatres.Detailed drawings of each set are produced and the Workshop, Paintshop and Props Department go to work. The Props Department is responsible for some of the stage furniture plus the extra items which the actor will need while they are on stage.The Costume Designer decides how all the actors will be dressed. This includes shoes, hats, costumes, jewels. Costume makers have fittings with the actors to get the costume sizes right for the whole cast. Wigs (假发) and make-up are dealt with by another set of experts.It is the Stage Planning team who schedule rehearsals(排练) and decisions made here will affect how the production is organized.The Stage Department is responsible for making sure that everything at the theatre is in place and working properly. Before the play is performed, they will have a technical(技术的) run of the performance in which the Lighting and Sound team work to create the right effects.Few realize how many people are behind the scenes every time the curtain rises at the theatre!32.What is the text mainly about?A. The work behind the stage.B. The course of choosing actors.C. The importance of a director's job.D. The course of a theatrical performance.33.Why is it important for the sets to be taken down?A. It will save much money.B. The sets will often be used in other theatres.C. The director wants to create the right effects.D. It will make the stage convenient for the actors to use.34.Which of the following shows the correct steps of a theatrical performance?a. creating stage settingsb. finishing the castingc. deciding a playd. having rehearsalsA. c-a-b-d.B. b-a-c-d.C. b-a-d-c.D. c-b-a-d.35.Which of the following can be learned from the text?A. The actors' job is the least important of a theatrical performance.B. More and more people realize the job done behind the scenes.C. Costume makers sometimes take care of wigs and make-up as well.D. The Stage Department takes charge of the technical run of the performance.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填入空白处的最佳选项。

ATaylor Swift was born on December 13, 1989, in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania. Swift’s family ran a farm. “I had her sitting on a small horse when she was nine months old,” said Swift’s mother. “If my dream had gone well, she’d be in a horse show right now.” The only obvious forerunner (先驱) of Swift’s musical talent was her grandmother, an opera singer.That talent showed itself early: when the family went to see a Disney musical film, Swift would come out of the theater singing all the songs correctly. At the age of 11, she sang “TheStar-Spangled Banner” at a Philadelphia 76ers game. The experiences durin g her pre-teen years encouraged the creativity to go with Swift’s talent. As a child, she attended the academically competitive Wyndcroft School in Pottstown, but then switched to public schools in Wyomissing. Although it was her hometown, she didn’t know any of her classmates, and she was terrified. Swift began to understand the storytelling feature of country songs, and put her feelings into songs of her own.One of her future hits, “The Outside”, was written when she was only 12. “I wrote that about t he scariest feeling I’ve ever felt: going to school, looking at those faces, and not knowing who you’re gonna talk to that day,” she said. “In the music, I could never feel the kind of rejection (拒绝) that I felt in middle school.” Swift’s parents quickly r ealized that they had someone special on their hands. They sold their farm when she was 13 and moved the family to Hendersonville, Tennessee.Swift had the ability, above all, to put feelings into words with accuracy (准确) far beyond her years. In “Our Song” she wrote, “Our song is the slamming screen door, going out late, tapping on your window.” In the summer of 2006, “Tim McGraw” came out, and almost from the beginning the 16-year-old Taylor Swift was a star.1．When she was in her childhood, Taylor Swift ________.A.dreamed of being a horse riderB.showed her talent for music earlyC.was expected to help on the farmD.learned singing from her grandmother2．Which of the following can best describe Swift’s school days in Wyomissing?petitive. B.Helpful. C.Difficult. D.Joyful3．Taylor Swift’s parents moved the family to Hendersonville ________.A.after they realized her musical talentB.after “The Outside” became a hitC.because she was rejected in schoolD.when she was twelve years old4．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A.“The Outside” came out when Swift was only 11.B. Taylor Swift’s Early Life and Some of Her Song.C. Taylor Swift, a Talented SongwriterD.Taylor Swift’s Unhappy School Life.BIf you have a chance to g o to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate(价钱). From then on, they just say how many hours theyhave worked and they will be paid accordingly(相应地).With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others?25.While taking a taxi in Finland, _____.A．a passenger can go anywhere without having to pay the driverB．a passenger pays two US dollars for a taxi rideC．a passenger can never be turned down by the taxi driver wherever he wants to goD．a passenger needs to provide good faith demonstration (证明) before leaving without paying 26.We know from the passage that big hotels in Finland ________.A．are mostly poorly managedB．provide meals for any dinersC．provide free wine and charge for foodD．provide meal for only those who live in the hotels27.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A．The workers in Finland are paid by the hour.B．The workers are always honest with their working hours.C．The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay.D．The bosses in Finland are too busy to check the working hours of their employees.28.The word “those” in the last but one paragraph probably refers to _____.A．people who are dishonestB．people who often have meals in big hotelsC．people who often take taxisD．people who are worthy of trust3.CGrown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials (尝试) increase the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables (乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.29. Who is the main idea of paragraph I?A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.D. Stories for children are easy to remember.30.. The author explains the law of overlearning by_________.A. presenting research findingsB. selling down general rulesC. making a comparisonD. using examples31.What does the underline word“they”in Paragraph 4 refer to?Commonly accepted rulesB. Thing easily forgottenC. The multiplication tablesD. School subjects32. What is the author's opinion on cramming?A. It leads to failure in college exams.B. It's helpful only in a limited way.C. It's possible to result in poor memory.D. It increases students' learning interest.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。

In one of the darkest times when his strong-minded grandfather was nearly 22 , he loaded his family into the car and 23 them to see family members in Canada with a 24 , “There are more important things in life than money.”The 25 took on a new meaning recently when Mr. Guyer downsized to a 26 house from a more expensive and comfortable one. He was 27 that his children, a daughter, 15, and twins, 22, would be upset. To his surprise, they weren’t. Instead, their reaction echoed their great-grandfather’s. What they 28 about was not how big the house was, but how warm the people were in the house and how much of their heart could be reached.Many parents are finding the surprising power family stories have in helping children through 29 times. A university 30 of 65 families with children aged from 14 to 16 found kids’ ability to 31 parents’ stories was linked to a lower rate of anger and anxiety.
