Everything about the school seemed so difficult. When I got home, my parents said, “You're nervous and that's okay. Everyone is afraid of high school.” I denied it. I wanted to be strong, so I refused to let anyone know about my fear, even my closest friends.‎ On the first day I was late for every class and was constantly lost. The school seemed like a puzzle that I couldn't figure out. Was this how the whole year was going to be? I didn't think I could rise to this challenge, especially carrying a huge backpack that I could hardly lift. It was so big that I could knock someone out with it!‎ Despite my fears, after the first week I finally had my schedule figured out. With the exception of falling up and down the stairs a couple of times and getting laughed at, high school was turning out to be not so bad. It was actually much better than middle school and much more ‎ challenging.Since then, I've been elected（选举）vice monitor of my class, which wasn't much of a victory since only three people ran for the four positions.‎ It is normal to be scared about a new school. Take a deep breath and relax. High school is something that any student can overcome. Make sure you participate in some out-of-class activities because you'll find it easier to make friends. Try to do your best, even if it isn't straight A's.‎ Most important of all, be who you are, whether you're a “fool”， an athlete, or a lower grader. Don't try to pretend to be someone you're not. Now you know the true secrets of high school.‎ ‎24．The main reason for the author's fear on his first day is that ________.‎ A．he was not familiar with the new surroundings B．his schoolmates were unfriendly to him C．he was unable to work out the puzzle D．his schoolbag was too heavy for him to carry ‎25．From the author's first day experience we can infer that ________.‎ A．he didn't know the right way to class B．he got to school before classes began C．he was fond of the school immediately. D．his home was far from the school ‎26．After his first week at school, the author ________.‎ A．was still not accustomed to the schedule B．was gradually used to the new school C．found high school not so challenging as he had imagined D．ran for monitor of his class against three other students ‎27．According to the passage, the secret of the author's success lies mainly in________.‎ A．making more friends B．getting more A's at school C．being who he really is D．joining in out of class activities C ‎ Spanish artist Pablo Picasso (1881—1973) is one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. It is said that everything his brush touched turned to gold. But in truth, the value of his work could be worth more than any precious metal. Picasso created more than 20,000 works in his life, including two of the world’s 10 most expensive paintings.‎ Between 1907 and 1913, Picasso and his colleague(同事) Georges Braque started a ‎ revolution(革命) in painting. Before that, paintings were like windows — they were painted to look as if they had depth. You could tell which objects were “close” to you and which objects were “far away”. But Picasso and Braque didn’t want to paint like that any more. To them, a painting wasn’t a window to the world; it was marks and lines on a flat surface. Why, they thought, should an object like a guitar be shown only from one angle (角度)? A guitar can look very different depending on which angle one looks at it from. Their answer was to show all the angles. They broke the guitar up into pieces. Their style of painting is called cubism.‎ But why did they feel such a need to change things? Well, the world around them was changing, too. Science was turning people’s ideas upside down. Albert Einstein’s theory was proving that what we knew about time and space was wrong. And new political movements like socialism were on the rise. The world was becoming different; artists needed to start seeing and painting it differently.‎ The famous and terrifying painting Guernica (1937) shows the horror of the bombing(轰炸) of the town of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War. In the painting, you can actually see the sky falling. Picasso couldn’t have painted it without the skills he learned during his cubist period. Breaking a guitar into pieces was his preparation for showing the world being blown to pieces.‎ ‎28．What is the article mainly about?‎ A．The high price of Picasso’s paintings. B．Picasso’s difficulties in career.‎ C．The popularity of Picasso’s paintings. D．Picasso’s achievements in art.‎ ‎29．In what way did Picasso and Braque paint?‎ A．They painted objects with different depths.‎ B．They made their paintings look like windows.‎ C．They painted an object from different angles.‎ D．They broke objects into pieces and painted them.‎ ‎30．What caused Picasso and Braque to start cubism?‎ A．Einstein’s theory. B．The changing world.‎ C．The rising socialism. D．New political movements.‎ ‎31．The painting Guernica is mentioned to show _______.‎ A．the themes of Picasso’s paintings B．the anger of Picasso at the war C．the preparations Picasso made before D．the artistic effect of cubism D ‎ My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year. At this rate he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.‎ One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and begged for help. “Please God, I can’t do any thing more for my son. I’m at the end of my rope. I’m giving the whole thing up to you.”‎ I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.” Before he could say another word, I cried and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of nay hands. ”For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time”, and hung up.‎ Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll. In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was me. I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That's when I knew I had to make you proud.”‎ ‎32．There was silence on the other end of the line because __________‎ A．the speaker was too moved to say anything to the mother B．the speaker was not listening C．the speaker had gone away D．the speaker was unable to speak ‎33．The sentence “... he even made the honor roll” means that “_______”‎ A．he was even on the list to be punished B．he was even on the list of students who were lazy C．he was even on the list of students who were always late for school D．he was even on the list of the best students at school ‎34．What is the main idea of this passage?‎ A．Children in single-parent families often have mental problems.‎ B．School education doesn’t work without full support from parents.‎ C．Being understood by parents is very important to teenagers.‎ D．Mother’s love plays an important role in teenagers’ life.‎ ‎35．Karl has a ________ mother.‎ A．great B．foolish C．stupid D．dishonest 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。‎ ‎ The new school year is coming and you have to go back to school.

As soon as we took the sails down to fix the masts, we were hit by a(n) 45 wind so suddenly and so hard, it would 46 have blown us over if our sails were up at the time.”‎ ‎“How lucky!”‎ ‎“That’s exactly what I thought at the time too.
