I woke up this morning,excited but anxious,as today was the day I would begin my journey of senior high school.
The school I attended is an all-female boarding school,which is the only single-sex school in this city.Some people say single-sex schools are better than mixed-sex ones in that they have classes specially designed for their male or female students.I am curious to know what such a school looks like.Thousands of thoughts flashed through my mind.Will I fit in?Will I make friends?Will I have nice teachers?What if I make a bad impression on the other girls?What if I can't concentrate in class as I did in junior high?
After breakfast,I set off with Mom sitting beside me and Dad driving the car.We were warmly received by a group of seniors at the school gate.I said goodbye to Mom and Dad there.Some of the seniors helped take my suitcase（手提箱）to the dorm（宿舍）, where I met my three roommates,Sally,Laura and Amanda.Only two of us have Chinese nationality while Sally is Korean and Laura American,who impressed me most with her beautiful eyes and sweet smile.
Since we had no classes in the morning,the four of us decided to explore our campus.Our school is beautiful with tall trees,bright flowers,nice-looking grassland and buildings of the southern Chinese style.A bulletin board（宣传栏）we passed by shows a lot of activity photos and says "With more than 50 student organisations on campus,there is a community for every interest".I took a photo of the name list of the organisations so that I could study them carefully this weekend before I choose to register with some.I am looking forward to improving myself through group activities.
( )34. What is special about the school the author attends? ______
A. It is the best school in the city. B. It is better than mixed-sex schools.
C. It has classes only for male students. D. It has only female students.
( )35. How did the author come to school? ______
A. All by herself. B. With her three roommates.
C. With her parents keeping her company. D. With some seniors carrying her suitcase.
( )36. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? ______

C. A bulletin board. D. Student organisations.
( )37. The paragraph following the text might talk about ______ .

(C)
I did some research and examined how British English and American English changed between the 1930s and the 2000s.Take spelling for example.Towards the 1960s it looked like the UK was going in the direction of not using the "u" in "colour" and writing "centre" as "center".But since then,the British have become more confident in some of their own spellings.In the 2000s,the UK used an American spelling choice about 11% of the time while Americans use a British one about 10% of the time.There is also no need to worry too much about American words,such as "vacation", "liquor" and "lawmaker" entering British English.There are a few examples of this kind of vocabulary change but they are mostly uncommon words and are not likely to change British English too much.The British are still using "mum" rather than "mom" and "petrol" rather than "gas".
But when we start thinking of language more in terms of style than vocabulary or spelling,a different picture appears.Some of the bigger trends（趋势）in American English are moving towards a freer use of language.American sentences are usually one word shorter in 2006 than they were in 1931.
Americans also use a lot more apostrophes（撇号）in their writing than they used to,which has the effect of turning the two words "do not" into the single "don't". "The hand of the king" becomes the shorter "The king's hand".
However,in all these ways Brits are changing too—and in the same way as Americans.They're just about 30 years behind the trend that Americans seem to be leading.
So this raises a question,is British English actively following American English or is this something that is simply a natural trend in language use?Perhaps the British would have gone in that direction even if America hadn't been discovered?I'd like to agree with the second idea but because of the fact that British people learn plenty of American language through different ways,I think the first is more correct.
( )38. What did the British do in the 1960s? ______
A. They use some American spellings.
B. They built up confidence in their language.
C. They did research on language difference.
D. They went in the direction of harder spellings.
( )39. What does the author try to show by using examples like "petrol"? ______
A. British English has changed a lot.
B. Some uncommon words are used less often.
C. American words are entering British English.
D. American spelling won't change British English too much.
( )40. Which of the following is a trend of American English? ______
A. It is using shorter words.
B. It is turning to proper grammar.
C. It is trying to make sentences simpler.
D. It is avoiding using apostrophes.
( )41. Which of the following is the author's opinion about the languages? ______
A. American English is going the wrong way.
B. British English is following American English's example.
C. American English is borrowing a lot from British English.
D. Languages wouldn't change much if America was not discovered.

(D)
Don't know how to take care of your plants?A little spider-like robot will chase the sunlight,run to shade,dance when it's doing well and stomp（跺脚）when it needs to be watered.
It's called the HEXA Plant,a six-legged machine created by Vincross,a robotics company in Beijing,China.
The robot plant will crawl toward the sunlight when it needs it,then will rotate（转动）when it enjoys the sun in order to absorb its rays on all sides.When it needs to cool off,it will look for shade.It also plays with humans and dances when it is happy,moving its legs up and down.But it gets "angry" when it's thirsty by stomping its legs.
With six legs,the HEXA Plant can move anywhere-in any direction and around any objects in its path.It's even nimble enough to navigate（导航）unexpected drops,like if it had to suddenly step over a gap between two tabletops.It has a variety of "eyes", including an infrared sensor （红外线感应器）, a distance sensor,and a 720 p camera with night vision,which could be very handy if you want it to send it out like a guard dog at night,to go check on any sudden noises.It has a built-in Wifi as well as various ports（USB）to expand its many talents.
So sure,it's not as cute as a garden gnome（守护精灵）, but it can do a lot more than just stand there and look cute.
The inventor of the cute robot,Sun Tiangi,was inspired by a dead sunflower.He had idea why it died-whether it was because of the lack of sunshine or water.That's when he had the idea for the walking plant.He says plants are passive.He wants to allow plants to experience movement.
( )42. What can't the HEXA Plant do? ______
A. Find a cool place when it feels hot. B. Play with people.
C. Drink water when it's thirsty. D. Move in any direction.
( )43.What does the underlined word "nimble" in the forth paragraph mean? ______
A. Happy. B. Clever. C. Angry. D. Passive.
( )44. What inspired Sun Tianqi to invent the HEXA Plant? ______
A. A walking plant. B. A dead sunflower.
C. Sunshine and water. D. A strange animal.
( )45. Where can we most probably read the passage? ______
A. In an advertisement. B. In a novel.
C. In a science magazine. D. In a storybook.
