I _(wake) up early and rushed out of the door in my _(eager) to get to know my new school.The campus was still qu
2、iet when I arrived, so I decided to explore a bit. I was looking at the _(photo) on the noticeboard _ I heard a voice behind me. “New here?” _(turn) around, I saw a white-haired man. “Yes,” I replied. “Im wondering what life is going to be like here.” “Dont worry,” he gave me _ smile. “Youll soon _
3、_(找出，发现).”_ true these words were! When my English teacher _(step) into the classroom, I was surprised_(see) the same man I had met _(early).“Good morning, everyone. Before we start, please come to the front _ _ _(一个接一个) and introduce _(you) to the class. Ill go first.”“What?!” I tried to turn on my
4、 brain _ the engine just wouldnt start. “I should say my name, of course. But what else? What could I say to make a good first _(impress)? Something about my insect collection, perhaps.” I _(organise) my words in my head when the girl next to me gave me a nudge. “Its your turn!”With _ _ _ _(情绪紧张；心里发
5、慌) , I breathed _(deep). “Hi, Im Meng Hao.” Everyone started laughing. I looked at them _ _(惊慌地). “Nice to know we share _ same name,” said my new teacher. I had been too nervous _(pay) attention when he introduced himself! Although I was _(embarrass), his word made me a lot more _(relax)!When we ha
6、d all introduced ourselves, Mr Meng said, “Well done, everyone! I know this isnt easy for many of you. But this is just the kind of thing you are going to face at senior high. Challenges like this might sometimes _ _ _ _(是你处于压力之下). But it all depends _ what you do. _ _ (保护冷静) and be prepared. That w
7、ay, youll make the _(much) of your time at senior high.”People say, “Well_(begin) , half done.” I guess this was a good _(begin) to my new school life.Passage 2(P9)Interviewer:Hello and welcome to School Talk! Today Im joined by a former student of our school, Lisa Osborne.Lisa _(graduate) from our
8、school last June and is about to go to college in New York. Lisa, thank you for coming to share your suggestions for high school_ us.Lisa: Hi,everybody. Im very glad to be back. I feel _ _ （似乎；好像） high school was only yesterday!Interviewer:So what helped when you first started high school?Lisa: Orie
9、ntation Day was really _(help). Its a fantastic opportunity for new students to get to know the school and the other students. I even made some new friends! Just keep an open mind and take part in as much as possible.Interviewer:Thats sound advice for sure. But how did you _ _（应对） new challenges, li
10、ke starting a new course?Lisa: I had a chemistry test right at the end of the first week. I was _(frighten) at the sight of the test paper. But then I figured Id better just _(go) all out and see what happens. If you fail, no problem - next time you can fail better!Interviewer:So, hold our head up,
11、then. But life is not always easy. You must have had some moments _ you were disappointed. If so, how did you deal with them?Lisa: As a member of the school volleyball team, I wasnt selected for the end-of-year competition. At first I was really sad, but _(late) I realized that I joined the team for
12、 the love of the sport. It wasnt just about winning. So I kept_(work) hard to support my teammates during our training. Theres always a way _(be) part of something you love, isnt there?Interviewer:Yes, I _(total) agree. Is there anything else in particular that youd like to share with us?Lisa: _(Loo
13、k) back on my high school life, the most important advice Id give is these wonderful words from the writer Maya Angelou. She said, “Be a rainbow in somebody elses cloud.” So, give your friends a hand when they need it. And this will make you feel good, too.Interviewer:Neat! Well, thanks again_ comin
14、g to speak to us, Lisa. And good luck with college!Lisa: Thank you.Unit 2 Exploring EnglishPassage 1: Neither Pine nor Apple in Pineapple(P14-15)Have you ever asked yourself why people often have trouble _(learn) English? I hadnt, until one day my five-year-old son asked me _ there was ham in a hamb
15、urger. There isnt. This make me realize that theres no egg in eggplant either. Neither is there pine nor apple in pineapple. This got me thinking how English can be a crazy language to learn.For example, in our free time we can sculpt a sculpture and paint a _(paint), but we take a photo. And when w
16、e are traveling we say that we are in the car or the taxi, but on the train or bus! While were doing all this traveling, we can get seasick at sea, airsick in the air and carsick in a car, but we dont get homesick when we get back home. And _(speak) of home, why arent homework and housework the same
17、 thing?If “hard” is the opposite of “soft”, why are “hardly” and “softly” not an _(oppose) pair? If harmless actions are the opposite of _(harm) actions, why are shameless and shameful behaviors the same?When we look out of the window and see rain or snow, we can say “its raining” or “its snowing”.
18、But when we see sunshine, we cant say “its sunshining”.Even the smallest words can be _(confuse). When you see the capitalized “WHO” in a medical report, do you read it as the “who” in “Whos that?” What about “IT” and “US”?You also have to wonder at the unique madness of a language in which a house
19、can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out, and in which an alarm is only heard once it goes off!English _(invent) by people, not computers, and it reflects the _(create) of the human race. That is why when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are
20、 out, they are _(visible). And that is why when I wind up my watch, it starts, but when I wind up this passage, it ends.Passage 2 Misadventures in English(P21)Last week, our forum asked if you had any funny or strange stories about using English. We didnt expect to get so many posts! Here are some o

Not true! I went to a summer school in Manchester and my English teacher _(call) Maggie. One da
22、y, a different teacher took our class. He told us that Maggie couldnt teach that day COZ she _ _ _ _ _（说话困难）. Poor Maggie - but why did she try to eat such a big frog? 135 commentsWhen I first visited New York, I went to a downtown shopping centre_(buy) some winter boots. At the information desk at
23、the entrance, I asked a lady _ the shoe section was. She said that it was on the first floor. So I went up to the first floor, but couldnt find any shoes. I decided to leave. When I was looking for the exit, I saw that shoes were _(actual) sold downstairs on the ground floor, not the first floor. Wh
24、y did she give me the wrong information? X-( 128 commentsIve got an English penfriend, _ I finally got to meet in London this summer. He _(tell) me that his grandfather was “really wicked”. But when I met his grandfather, I liked him a lot. I found it very odd. Why did my friend use a negative word
25、about such a nice man? 63 commentsThe British must have really high standards. I was part of a student exchange programme between a university in England and my university in China.I spent days _(prepare)and writing my first English paper. I knew I had done a good job and was looking forward to _(ge
26、t) a positive comment. When I got the paper back, I found my teacher had written the comment “Not bad!” Not bad? But there werent any _(error) in my paper. :-( 85 commentsUnit 3 Family mattersPassage 1 Like Father, Like Son(P27)( The living room. Friday night. A table and two chairs at front centre.

28、Ive decided not to go to university. I want to focus _ my band and have a career in music when I leave school.Father:(raising his voice_ _ （吃惊地）) You cant be serious! What about your future career as a lawyer?!Son:I knew youd say that. You just assume I want to be a lawyer, but thats only _ you are
29、a lawyer.Father:Whats wrong with being a lawyer? Lawyers help people and _(respect) by others.Son:Yes, but Im not interested _ law. I want to work in a studio, not a court.Grandfather:(looking at Father) _ _ （冷静下来）. OK?Father:(ignoring Grandfathers words) Stop _(daydream)! _(play)in a band is not a
30、job.Son:Of course it is! The music industry is developing fast now. Making music is a job.Grandfather:(stepping between Father and Son and raising his voice) Hey! I told you to calm down, both of you!Father:But I told him to study something useful at university!Grandfather:(laughing) Easy, son! I re
31、member when you were his age, you said that you wanted to be a _(profession) football player.Father:And you wanted me to be an _(engine)!Grandfather:I just wanted you to be happy, and an engineer - a happy engineer.Father:But in the end, you just advised me to think _(careful).Grandfather:Yes, and y
32、ou have found the career that _(suit) your talents. Im so proud of you. Your son is proud of you, too.Son:Of course I am, but I have different talents.Grandfather:(turning to Son) Why dont you also take my advice and think carefully before jumping in with both feet?Son:Well, I could try.Grandfather:
33、If you go to university and play music at the same time, you will have two options for your future. And Im sure playing in a band will help you make lots of new friends at university.Father:Yes, lots of new lawyer friends!Son:(with a sigh) Dad .Passage 2 Just a Brother (P32-33)It was the final part
34、of the 2016 World Triathlon Series in Mexico. With just 700 metres to go, Alistair Brownlee was in third place and his younger brother, Jonny, was _ the lead. Alistair pushed himself towards the finish line in the _(burn) heat, but as he came round the corner, he saw his brother about to fall onto t
35、he track. Alistair had to choose - brotherly love, or a chance _(win) the race?For Alistair, the choice was clear. His brother was _ _(有麻烦). He had to help. Alistair ran towards Jonny, _(catch) him and started pulling him towards the finish line. Alistair then pushed his brother over the line. The m
36、ove put Jonny in second place and Alistair himself in third. It was an _(expect) end to the race, but Alistair did not want to discuss it with the media. He just wanted to see his younger brother, _ had been rushed to the medical area.The Brownlee brothers have been doing triathlons _ they were chil
37、dren. “Obviously, when your older brother is doing it, you think its a cool thing to do,” says Jonny. Alistair says that they encourage each other as much as they can when they train. Despite arguments over “stupid things” now and then, Alistair agrees that having a brother is _ advantage. “Througho
38、ut my entire life, Ive had my brother trying to beat me at everything I do. It has been an _(enormous) positive force.”_(watch) by millions, the ending to the race has divided _(opinion) : should the brothers have been disqualified or highly praised for their actions? But for Alistair, his decision
39、was easy to explain : “Mum wouldnt have been happy if Id left Jonny behind.” At that moment, he was_ _ （不再）an athlete aiming for a medal - he was just a brother.Unit 4 Friends foreverPassage 1 Click for a Friend?(38-39)How would you feel if moving to a new town meant _ _ _（不了解.的情况）your friends? What
40、 if the only way of getting news from faraway friends was writing letters that took ages to _(deliver)? This was how things worked not very long ago. Thanks _ advances in technology, how we make friends and _ _(与某人交流) them has changed _( significant).Nowadays, we can move around the world and still
41、stay in touch with the people that we want to remain friends with. Social media tools let us see what our friends are up to and maintain friendships. All you need is a wi-fi connection.The digital age also enables us_(find) people who share our interests, such as collecting model cars or playing an
42、unusual instrument. Whatever our hobbies, the Internet can connect us _ others who also enjoy doing them, even if they live on the other side of the world.But when you “friend” people online, does this mean that they really are your friends?It depends.If people always exchange true personal informat
43、ion online, then yes, these friendships can be real and _(meaning). But we need to _ _ _(牢记) that what we see on social media is often not the whole truth about a person._ social media sites, people tend _( post) only positive updates that make them appear happy and _(friend). But smiling photos can
44、 hide real problems. Remember the _(say) : on the Internet, nobody knows youre a dog. A young person could be old; a woman could be a man; we could even be sharing our information with criminals.But this doesnt mean that we should_ _ _ _ _ _ _(不分良莠，一起抛弃). Although technology has changed the way we a
45、cquire friends, the meaning of friendship and our longing for friends remain the same. _Aristotle said, no one would choose to live without friends, _ _ （即使） he had all other goods.Passage 2 After Twenty Years(P44-45)The short story “After Twenty Years” is set_ New York _a cold, dark night.
