Besides, I don’t 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. It’s 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 in some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck!David, Aged 19I’m not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening. But you’ll get used to it. Don’t be afraid of anyone; upperclassmen will pick on you more if you let them know you’re 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 it’s really not bad at all. Don’t worry.Eddie ,Aged 20When I started high school I was really nervous too, especially since I had been homeschooled all through middle school and didn’t 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 become easier before you know it.21. What can we infer from Sharon’s words about high school?A. Teachers are quite strict.B. Students often stay up at nightC. Teachers provide little care for students.D. Students should make good use of their time.22. Who mentions the importance of friends?A. DavidB. FrankC. SharonD. Eddie23. How did Eddie feel on his first day of high school?A. ExcitedB. WorriedC. BoredD. RelaxedBA mother goat is able to pick out her own baby from its voice alone by the time the kid is just five days old.Researchers from University of London played kids’ bleats to female goats and studied their responses. They were surprised to find that the animals were able to pick out their own kids’ voices.“A mother and the kid rely a lot on smell to recognize one another and, in thewild, during the first week of their lives, the animals hide in grass and don’t call much. It’s a strategy they use to avoid enemies,” Dr Elodie Briefer, who led the research, explained to BBC News. “The mother call to the kids when she want them to come and feed, so we expected that kids would recognize the mothers’ voices.”In fact, this was the case for deer, which also use this hiding strategy, although they do not belong to the same family of species as goats.She and her team recorded and played back young kids’ calls to the female goats and recorded their responses.She explained, “Even when the calls came from kids that are five to six days old, we could see the mothers responding more to the voices of their own babies.” Hearing the v oice of their own kids, the females would look towards the speaker that the sound was coming from, moving around and calling in response.The scientists say that understanding how goats behave and communicate is very important. “This helps us understand just how smart these animals are,” said Dr. Briefer. “Farmers might be able to change their way to raise goats considering this natural behaviour.”24. What does the underlined word “bleats” means?A. habitsB. voicesC. responsesD. videos25. During the first few days of the baby deer, the mother and the kid mainly depend on ______torecognize each other when they are hiding in grass.A . voice B. touch C. videos D. smell26. In the experiment, what does a mother goat do when hea ring her kids’ voice?A. Making voice in response.B. Jumping over and over.C. Hiding herself somewhere.D. Behaving just as usual.27. The passage is mainly written for ______ to read.A. teachersB. writersC. farmersD. lawyersCYou often can choose a private setting when you browse(浏览) the internet. Butbe forewarned: It may not afford nearly as much privacy as you expect. That’s the finding of a new study.Major web browsers, such as Google’s Chrome and Apple’s Safari, often a private-browsing option. It’s sometimes referred to as “incognito.” This option lets you surf the Internet browser and saves a record into its history of each page that you visited. And what sites you visit won’t affect the suggestions your browser makes the n ext time you’re filling out an online form.Many people believe----incorrectly--- that the incognito setting protects them more broadly. Most believe it even after reading a web browser’s explanation of the incognito mode.For instance, a new study had 460 people read web browsers’ descriptions of private browsing. Each person read one of 13 descriptions. Then the participants answered questions about how private they thought their browsing would be while using this tool. The volunteers didn’t understand th e incognito mode.This was true no matter which browser explanation they had read. The researchers reported their findings on April 26 at the 2018 World Wide Web Conference in Lyon, France.More than half of the volunteers thought that if they logged into a Google account through a private window, Google wouldn’t keep a record of their search history. Not true. And about one in every four participants thought private browsing hid their device’s IP address. That’s wrong, too.Blase Ur was one of the study’s authors. He’s an expert in computer security and privacy in Illinois at the University of Chicago. Companies could clear up this confusion by giving better explanations of the incognito mode, his team says. For example, the browsers should avoid vague（模糊).The web browser Opera, for instance, promises users that “your secrets are safe.” Nope Firefox encourages users to “browse like no one’s watching.” In fact, someone might be.

The researchers did the study with the aim of ______.A. checking the safety of browsers of leading companiesB. f inding users’ knowledge about private browsing policyC. t racking young web users’ browsing habitsD. testing a new tool to judge the Internet29. The “incognito” mode is believed to be able to ______.A. record one’s passwordsB. give a warning of insecure linksC. help hide one’s past browsing historyD. access one’s favorite websites quickly30. Where is the article probably from ______.A.a text bookB.a newspaperC.a magazineD. the Internet31. The last paragraph is written to ______.A. report a new findingB. put forward a suggestionC. introduce a web browserD. correct a misunderstandingDThere lived in South Carolina a young woman named Eliza Lucas. Her father was governor of one of the islands of the West Indies. Miss Lucas often got seeds from her father, and then she planted them in South Carolina.Once, her father sent her some seeds of the indigo (靛蓝) plant. She planted some of them in March, but a frost (霜冻) came and killed all her plants. However, she decided to plant some more seeds in April. These grew very well until a cutworm found them and ate her plants. Once more Miss Lucas planted some of the seeds. This time the plants grew very well. She wrote to her father about it. He sent her a man who knew how to get the indigo out of the plant.However, the man tried not to show Miss Lucas how to make the indigo. He did not want the people in South Carolina to learn how to make it. He was afraid his own people would not get so much money for their indigo if other people made it as well. So he destroyed the indigo on purpose. But Miss Lucas watched him closely. She worked out how the indigo could be made. Some of her father’s land in South Carolina was now planted with the indigo plant.Then Miss Lucas got married, and became Mrs. Pinckney. Her father gave her all the indigo growing on his land in South Carolina. It was all saved for seeds. Mrs Pinckney gave some of the seeds to her friends while her husband sowed others. They all grew and were made into the blue dye(染料) that we call indigo. In a few years, South Carolina was producing more than a million pounds of indigo every year. All the people were grateful to her.32. The indigo plant died at first because of ______.A. a cutwormB. a frostC. strong sunlightD. heavy rain33.
