Asha, Tanzania

Hi there! My name is Asha and I'm from Tanzania. Like most teenagers，I start my day early and end it late. After school，I study at a night school to prepare for the university entrance exam. When I have time off, I prefer to be outdoors. I love nature and animals.I'm quite upset about how we treat the environment，so I do my best to help. I volunteer to plant trees and I'm a member of our school's Nature Club.

Samika, Bangladesh

Hi! I'm Samika and I'm 15. I wish I were a student，but I'm not. I had to leave school when I was 13 so that I could get a job and help my family. I work in a garment factory. It's unbelievably hard work and the days are so long. Although everyone works hard, we still find time to play and laugh together. At times like these，the world feels like a wonderful place.

Frieder, Germany

Hi, Frieder here. So, I'm 16 and I go to a high school in Munich. I'm not crazy about school  — listening to a teacher isn't my thing — but I know I have to get an education. It's very difficult for young people to find a job in Europe, so I worry a lot about the future. Oh, and I'm a gaming nerd. I love Internet games so much that I have started a gaming club in my school. Maybe I'll see you online — my screen name is FastFreddy.

My high school life has been filled with many ups and downs, whether it was social or academic.Even though my current high school was not my first choice, I never regretted attending Southside High School.“Since you have chosen it, then it is the best for you，” said my parents.

Up until the junior year I did not realize my capabilities (能力) as a student.Being in the IB Program, I was told that my junior year would be the toughest in all the years of high school.With this “little” piece of information, I walked into my junior year, scared of my grades.As weeks went by, I started to believe that the junior year was not as hard as everyone had said, but I was wrong. My grades were rapidly declining (下降) and by the end of the first term I had had five Cs in seven of my classes! I could not believe it — I did not want to believe it. I tried my best to get my grades up myself without any help from anyone, but my pride just made my grades worse. And I had to miss out on one of the most important speech and debate competitions all year：States. I was heartbroken. I realized that I could not survive my junior year on my own, so I had to get help fast.

Once I got a tutor, my grades went from Cs, Ds, and even some Fs, to nothing but As and Bs. I slowly started to gain my confidence back in all of my classes and even myself. By the time the third and fourth quarter came around, I had been on the honor roll twice, and I was receiving awards from speeches and debates, tennis and school.

Southside has taught me to always keep my head up and never give up on myself no matter what life throws at me.I am proud to be a Southside Tiger.

We'll finally grow up someday, leaving our parents and facing the challenges in life. Parents may not be able to solve every problem for us. Instead, we should have enough life skills to cope with the problems that come our way.

This is what our country tries to do now：Helping more students gain working spirit. To stress the importance of hard-working spirit education among students of different ages，the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council released a guideline recently. The guideline calls for students to respect work. Students should learn basic life skills and form good working habits through such education.

The government has been trying to stress the importance of hard-working spirit education. But this has been overlooked in recent years. Many teens do not value the importance of working hard and are uninterested in doing so.

According to a study of nearly 3,000 students that was done by Ningbo Evening News in March, only 22 percent of primary and middle school students help with everyday chores around the house.

Schools and families play an important role in teaching students about the value of working hard，the guideline says. Primary and middle schools should provide students with hard-working spirit classes every week，according to the guideline. Schools can also hold activities to give students real-world work experiences. For example, schools can teach children how to plant trees on Tree-Planting Day.

As children's first teachers，parents should also encourage children to learn how to do chores at home. Students should master one or two life skills every year. These skills can include cooking, washing their own clothes and tidying their rooms.

A．Only 3,000 students help with housework.

B．Students pay no attention to work spirit.

C．About one-fifth of students help with housework.

D．Students are very dependent on their parents.

11．According to the guideline, schools should________.

A．provide both guidance and chances for real  work

It's school time again! You're probably feeling excited or maybe a little sad for the vacation is over. Some kids feel nervous or a little scared on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and maybe even a new school. Luckily, these “new” worries only stick around for a little while. Let's find out more about going back to school.

Most teachers kick_off the school year by introducing themselves and talking about what you'll be doing that year. Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class.

When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often go over classroom rules so you'll know what's allowed and what's not. Pay close attention so you'll know if you need to raise your hand to ask a question and what the rules are about visiting the restroom.

You might already know a lot of people in your class on the first day. But it's a great day to make new friends, so try to say “hello” to the kids you know and the new ones that you don't. Make the first move and you'll be glad about what you did and so will your new friends!

Most teachers let you pick your own seat on the first day, but by the second or third morning, they'll have mapped out a seating plan. It's a good idea to write down where your seat is in your notebook so you don't forget.

Here are a few final tips for a fantastic (奇异的) first day: Get enough sleep; Have a healthy breakfast; Try your best; Develop good work habits, like writing down your assignments (作业) and handing in your homework on time; Take your time with schoolwork; If you don't understand something, ask the teacher.

语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，描述了一个高中新生在新学期前的兴奋、忐忑和决心，展示了他丰富的内心活动。

36．will learn　考查动词的时态。“学到更多的知识” 是发生在未来的事情，故用一般将来时，答案为will learn。

37．Especially　考查副词。修饰整个句子时要用副词形式，故答案为Especially。

38．interesting　考查形容词。空格处作表语，说明句子主语的性质，要用形容词，故用interesting，意为“有趣的” 。

39．friends 　考查名词复数。空格处作meet的宾语，空格前面又有many修饰，friend是可数名词，要用复数形式，故答案为friends。

40．with　考查介词。句意：我相信我会跟所有的新同学相处融洽。get along well with是固定搭配，意为“与……相处融洽”，故答案为with。

41．As　考查定语从句。句意：俗话说， “得朋友难，失朋友易。”As the saying goes意为“常言道，俗话说，正如谚语所说”，是as引导的非限制性定语从句，as在从句中作goes的宾语，意为“正如”。

44．but　考查连词。句意：真心实意对待别人很难，但是我会努力去做。前后分句之间是转折关系，故用转折连词but。

45．to study　考查非谓语动词。在 “It is ＋adj.＋不定式” 结构中，it是形式主语，真正主语是不定式，故答案为to study。

Dear Peter，

As for your letter asking about how I study during this special period, I'd like to share some details with you.

With the start  of the new semester delayed，I，like other students nationwide，take online courses given by our teachers at home. I am not worried about missing some key points because I can watch the lectures as many times as I want. During this special time, I am aware of the importance of self-discipline，without which one can not learn effectively.

Eagerly looking forward to your early reply.

Yours，

Li Hua

第二节(满分25分)

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I will share the kind act that I met with all of you.We had dozens of restaurant options within a short distance, so we often took advantage of this luxury.On one occasion，I ran out to get some food.I saw the clouds in the distance and decided I could make it there and come back in time, but I was wrong. I was about to leave the restaurant when the rain just poured.The street was flooded within minutes.

But I had my little girl and husband waiting for me back at home，and they were hungry，so I knew I had to make a run for it.The owner of the restaurant tried to encourage me to wait inside，but I insisted that I should go.At this point, he grabbed his umbrella and said，“Okay, let's go.” Of course I tried to convince him that it wasn't necessary for him to walk me home，but I knew I wouldn't prevent him from doing so.So off we went.We quickly realized that the umbrella wouldn't help much in keeping us dry.He walked me all the way to my apartment building，where he said goodbye and ran back to the restaurant.

Again I encountered this act of kindness when I was making my way to the bus. As I waited at the crosswalk, it began to rain lightly.Nothing was too bad, but a young guy nearby felt like it was heavy enough to make him step next to me and hold his umbrella above both of us.After a while，the lights turned green.I thanked him and walked across the street.

Getting around the city when you are six months pregnant and have a two-year-old kid can be challenging sometimes.One spring afternoon，I realized I needed something from the store to finish preparing for dinner.The weather seemed a bit questionable but the store was around the corner so I decided to risk it.

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

2．请按如下格式作答。

Paragraph 1：

It wasn't raining when we left so we didn't carry my umbrella.　

Paragraph 2：

As we crossed the street the woman offered me her umbrella.　

参考范文：

Paragraph 1：

It wasn't raining when we left so we didn't carry my umbrella.We quickly crossed the street to buy what we needed in our daily life.We were walking out of the store when a heavy rain fell.We wanted to cross the street and had to wait for the lights to turn green.I noticed a young couple watching us.

Paragraph 2：

As we crossed the street the woman offered me her umbrella.I said my apartment building was nearby but she insisted that I take it.I refused, but she said it just started to pour. At the same time, she handed me the umbrella and left with her husband.Staring at her figure，I was too moved to express thanks to her.I went home with the umbrella and put it away in a secret place.It was a sign of kindness.
