It is the first day of high school. And with it'so often,comes nervousness — especially for students making the leap to high school.

But inside the Theodore Roosevelt High School gym for freshman orientation (迎新会) , at least some of those nerves had turned into excitement.

Juniors and seniors were leading ninth-graders through team-building activities,then walking them through their class schedule. And before they left,students planned on exchanging phone numbers to text questions later on.

The new initiative（行动） is part of a nationally known program called Link Crew,which started at Roosevelt and was adopted as a district-wide high school program this year.

What's unique about this initiative is the yearlong focus on peer mentoring(同龄人指导) that goes far beyond the first few days of lockers that won’t open and classrooms that can't be found.

The idea is to build up friendships and school spirit and encourage ninth-graders to meet new friends or join activities that interest them.

Roosevelt Principal Kevin Biggs said ,“Our freshmen will be more comfortable around peers than they will be around adults."

Groups are designed so students meet individuals with different backgrounds and cultures. And they'11 continue to meet during the school year,attending a football game or school dance together.

The new program is expected to develop friendships and peer-to-peer support,from helping each other through a breakup to talking through concerns about fights with friends.

“A lot of times,students can talk to students about things that they may not feel comfortable talking to an adult about,” said Ally son Vukovich,the district's community partnership coordinator (协调者) .

“It really changes the culture within a building,” she added, “so upperclassmen find some ownership about what goes on in their school."

25. Which word can describe the feeling of the freshmen in Theodore Roosevelt High School?

A. Nervous. B. Afraid.

C. Proud. D. Excited.

26. What do we know about the new initiative?

A. It lasts through a year.

B. It is adopted throughout the US.

C. It was put forward by Kevin Biggs.

D. It paired adult mentors with freshmen.

27. What's the main purpose of the new program?

A. To develop students’ sense of responsibility.

B. To help freshmen adjust to life in high school.

C. To help students learn about different cultures.

D. To teach students how to get along with others.

28. What's Allyson Vukovich’ s attitude towards the new program?

A. Worried. B. Doubtful.

C. Uncaring. D. Supportive.

Rebecca: I don't think I could be friends with someone 64. that because a sense of humour and 65.(personal) are very important to me. It's also very important to me 66.my new friend gets along with my old friends.

Sally: And do you think there's a big difference between American humour 67.British humour?

Rebecca: I don't know if there's a big difference,but there's 68. (certain) a difference. I think British humour is a lot more dry and irdnic (讽刺的) than American humour which tends 69. (be) “laugh out loud” kind of humour.

Sally: What kind of American things make you laugh?

Rebecca: I would say more slapstick(打闹剧似的胡闹) and maybe not 70. (intelligence) humour.

On August 17,2013,a hunter made a campfire. He just wanted to 41 some soup. But he 42 started the third-largest wildfire in California's history.

The 43 carried sparks(火花） from the hunter's campfire into the woods. Soon,a wildfire was burning 44 . It spread with 45 speed. For a while,it doubled in size every day.

The blaze(烈火) became known as the Rim Fire. It lasted for two months. Thousands of 46 worked to stop it. When they finally did,400 square miles of forest had 47 . That's an area larger than Dallas,Texas.

Wildfires have always been 48 in the western U.S. In recent years,they have been getting bigger and harder to control. That's partly because the weather has been 49 and drier than in the past. Forest plants have dried out. That makes the plants bum very 50 . The average fire is three times larger than it was in the 1980s.

The Rim Fire started in a remote area. Fighting such a fire can be a big 51 . Firefighters often use planes to 52 the fire. Then they dwmp (倾倒) huge loads of water from these planes. Sometimes that is not 53 to stop a wildfire,so firefighters jump down.

After they jump onto the 54 ,these firefighters use axes to 55 plants. They create a line of bare soil near the edge of the fire. When the fire reaches this line,there is 56 to bum. The fire stops spreading.

In the past,people often 57 in wildfires. Today,wildfires are 58 deadly. Early warnings usually help people get to safety before it's too 59 . Even though the Rim Fire 60 11 homes and caused millions of dollars in damage,no one was killed.

In my early 30s,I used an expired(过期的) student ID to buy discounted movie tickets. I'd tell myself,I'm buying a ticket I wouldn’ t have otherwise bought. I think many people have done similar things; however,we still think of ourselves as honest citizens. Researchers who study these behaviours believe that character isn 51the real reason. We might break the rules under some conditions and in some mind-sets,but not in others.

Years ago,Francesca Gino,a professor at Harvard,and Dan Ariely,a behavioural economist at Duke,wondered if people with higher IQs were more likely to cheat. They found that cleverness wasn't closely connected to dishonesty,but creativity was. The more creative you are,the easier it is to retell the story of what happened when you behaved dishonestly.

Harvard University psychologist Joshua Greene argues in his book Moral Tribes that we may be bom without having a clear sense of right and wrong,but our culture sharpens it. If your tribe downloads pirated(盗版的) music,you’ re likely to go with the flow.

Harvard researcher Leslie John,along with two colleagues conducted an experiment. They told volunteers that others in the room were making more money than they were for getting questions right on a test. Guess what happened? That group,which considered itself disadvantaged,cheated more than those who believed that everyone received an equal payment.

The real threat is that rule breaking worsens over time. Behavioural psychology offers a few antidotes. Keep yourself fed and well-rested — we’ re likelier to behave badly when hungry or tired. Reflect on how your actions look through others’ eyes and see yourselves in a positive light. In a Stanford study,when researchers used the verb cheat — please don't cheat — participants still cheated freely because they felt distanced from the act. When the noun was used — don't be a cheater — hardly anyone did.

32. According to Francesca Gino,who are likeliest to break the rules in a company?

A. Accountants. B. Designers.

C. Cleaners. D. Typists.

33. Why did volunteers in Leslie John's experiment cheat more than others?

A. Because they were not as smart as others.

B. Because they thought others cheated too.

C. Because they felt a sense of unfairness.

D. Because they were tired and hungry.

34. The underlined word “antidotes” in the last paragraph can be replaced by.

C. studies D. novels

35. What's the best title for the text?

A. Why people break the rules

Imagine you are a kid living in America in 1920,and your parents are too busy to cook dinner. Instead,they serve you something they are sure is just as healthy as chicken and vegetables: a chocolate bar.36 However,as recently as the 1940s,many Americans believed that candy was as nutritious as an entire meal. Today,we understand that some foods are better for us than others. You probably know that the oatmeal(燕麦粥) and fruit you wisely ate for breakfast were packed with vitamins and other nutrients. You probably know as well that those chewy candies hidden in your drawer are little more than sugar. 37

Back in the early 1900s,the science of nutrition — the study of how foods affect the body — was new. 38 But the importance of vitamins was not well understood. Many scientists believed that candy was just as healthful as steak and potatoes or fish and broccoli. 39 Ads for Milky Way suggested that each bar contained a glass of milk (not true) . There was even a popular candy bar called Chicken Dinner (which,thankfully,did not contain chicken) .

Today,we know the dangers of eating too much sugar. We also have laws that prohibit companies from creating advertisements that lie about products.

40 But most of us understand it's best left for dessert.

A. It sounds a little crazy now.

B. We still love candy,of course.

C. They are still made in a Boston factory.

D. People knew that food provided energy.

E. Candy companies wanted people to believe this too.

F. Even little kids understand that eating too much sugar is unhealthy.

G. Candy makers have continued to produce new kinds of candies to delight us.

3. The workers were the truck with fresh vegetables.

A. covering B. loading

C. replacing D. fighting

If aliens ever sent us a message,scientists hope to pick it up in a distant part of northern California.

There,in a place among the volcanoes of the Cascade Range,42 radio dishes point together at the sky. The dishes,each 20 feet across,form a single,huge scientific instrument called the Allen Telescope Array. Scientists built them to receive radio signals— the sort of message that could answer a very important question： Are we the only intelligentlife in this vast universe?

“It's a question humans have been asking forever,” observes astronomer Jill Tarter. Until recently,she led the SETI (Search for Extra-Terres-trial (外星的) Intelligence) ，Institute in Calif. “We read these ancient texts,and the ancient Greeks,the Romans,the Chinese —they were all wondering how we humans fit into the universe. ”

While the question is ancient,our understanding of the universe has changed over the centuries. We now know that stars do not hang from the sky like fruit on a tree. We also know Earth moves around the Sun and not the other way around. But we still don't know if life exists elsewhere. If aliens do exist,does it have the technology to communicate with us on Earth?

If so,the Allen Telescope Array is listening,day and night,for some signal. From time to time,the dishes turn toward a new patch of the sky. The array has not yet picked up any alien calls.

But that has hardly frustrated scientists. The search for life elsewhere in the universe continues to prove irresistible (无法抗拒的) to experts in a wide variety of fields,from biology to astronomy,and from psychology to computer science. And they’re not just looking for aliens that can communicate： Many researchers believe that simpler,microscopic alien life might be hiding on some distant planet.

Even if their search has yet to turn up any aliens,it has led to some surprising discoveries —including some right here on Earth. If anything,the search for extraterrestrial (外星人) life has become a lot more exciting. Perhaps it's just a matter of time until we discover we’re not alone.

51. Why did scientists build the Allen Telescope Array?

A. To keep a record of the volcanoes.

B. To pick up messages from aliens.

C. To send up radio signals.

D. To keep in touch with aliens.

52. From what Jill said,we know ancient people.

A. described the existence of aliens in texts

B. compared stars to fruit on a tree

C. didn't believe humans to be alone

D. didn^ know how to fit humans into the universe 53. It is implied in the sixth paragraph that .

A. aliens may live in many different places

B. aliens like to hide in a secret place

C. aliens may understand the science of astronomy

D. aliens may not have the ability of communication

54. The writer's attitude towards the existence of aliens was.

A. positive B. doubtful

C. neutral D. disapproving

55. The main idea of the passage is that.

A. humans are not alone at all in the universe

B. scientists search for aliens in space

C. alien calls haven’t been received so far

D. California is a base to welcome aliens
