How to Stay Motivated in High School
Do you find it difficult, almost impossible to stay motivated about high school? There are so many demands on your time, along with the expectation of parents and teachers. You really want to look at all the “big picture”. Your time in high school is likely to be just a small part of your whole life.    小題1:  
Set realistic goals and rewards. It can be as simple as doing your work and then taking a break to do something you like.    小題2:   It isn’t as though you have to do all of your work at one time. In other words, when you reach a good break point, give yourself some kind of reward such as doing something you enjoy and afterwards get back to work.
  小題3:  Consider your own parents, teacher, neighbor, or relative—anyone you respect and trust that can be in your corner to root for you and cheer you on. You want someone who has some life experience to counsel you. If you can find more than one source of such wisdom, it is all the better. Don’t ignore this suggestion. It can really save you a lot of heartbreak and suffering later on.
Have supportive friends. There are people who are going nowhere fast.    小題4:   Instead, stay around other motivated students who enjoy school, study and work hard because they are so positive. That positive influence will help motivate you.
Work with yourself not against. We all have energy levels.    小題5:  If your levels are low, determine what raises your energy levels to get you going. Then get as much done as you can. Also, don’t wait until later to get started doing things like your homework. One student explained that he would start work at the end of the class. Then when he got home, he was finishing the work rather than just starting the work.
A．Then get back to work.
B．Don’t hang out with them.
C．Seek the wisdom of an elder.
D．Try to go with the flow of your levels.
E. But it can be the most meaningful years.
F. Study hard, have fun and enjoy each year.
G. Find classmates with whom you can share your concerns.

小題1:E
小題2:A
小題3:C
小題4:B
小題5:D

Half of the world’s population is affected by Asian monsoons (季風), but monsoons are difficult to predict. American researchers have put together a 700-year record of the rainy seasons, which is expected to provide guidance for experts making weather predictions.
Every year, moist (潮濕的) air masses，known as monsoon，produce large amounts of rainfall in India, East Asia, Northern Australia and East Africa. All this wet air is pulled in by a high pressure area over the Indian Ocean and a low pressure area to the south.
According to Edward Cook, a weather expert at Columbia University in New York, the complex nature of the climate systems across Asia makes monsoons hard to predict. In addition, climate records for the area are too recent and not detailed enough to be of much use. Therefore, he and a team of researchers spent more than fifteen years traveling across Asia, looking for trees old enough to provide long-term records. They measured the rings（年輪）, or circles, inside thousands of ancient trees in more than 300 places.
Rainfall has a direct link to the growth and width of rings on some kinds of trees. The researchers developed a document they are calling a Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas. It shows the effect of monsoons over seven centuries, beginning in the 1300s.
Professor Cook says the tree-ring records show periods of wet and dry weather. “If the monsoon basically fails or is a very weak one, the trees affected by monsoons at that location might put on a very narrow ring. But if the monsoon is very strong, the trees affected by that monsoon might put on a wide ring for that year. So, the wide and narrow ring widths of the chronology（大事年表） that we developed in Asia provide us with a measure of monsoon variability.” With all this information, researchers say they can begin to improve computer climate models for predicting the behavior of monsoons.
“There has been widespread famine and starvation and human dying in the past in large droughts. And on the other hand, if the monsoon is particularly heavy, it can cause extensive flooding.” said Eugene Wahl, a scientist with America’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “So, to get a sense of what the regional moisture patterns have been, dryness and wetness over such a long period of time in great detail, I would call it a kind of victory for climate science.”
小題1:What’s the passage mainly about？
A．The effects of Asian monsoons.B．The necessity of weather forecast.
C．The achievements of Edward cook.D．A breakthrough in monsoon prediction.
小題2:It is difficult for experts to predict Asian monsoons because _______.
A．it is hard to keep long-term climate records.
B．they are formed under complex climate systems.
C．they influence many nations.

小題3:What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Long and detailed climate records can offer useful information for monsoon research.
B．The Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas has a monsoon record for about 1,300 years.
C．The trees affected by monsoon grow fast if the monsoon is weak.
D．The rainfall might be low although the monsoon is strong in monsoon-affected areas.
小題4:According to Professor Cook, the rings of the trees _______.
A．determine the regional climate.
B．have a great influence on the regional climate.
C．offer people information about the regional climate.
D．reflect all kinds of regional climate information.
小題5:What do we know about the research according to Eugene Wahl?
A．It is a great achievement in climate science.
B．It should include information about human life in the past.
C．It has analysed moisture models world wide,
D．It will help people prevent droughts and floods.

A newspaper reporter’s job can be very interesting. He meets all types of people and lives quite a busy life. He is on the rush for news all the time, then after several years he may get a desk job, and life becomes a bit more settled. Let’s look at his work a little more closely. In a day he may have to interview the prime minister of a foreign country, and the next day he may be writing about a football match. Sometimes he may be so busy that he has hardly any time to sleep. And at other times he may go on for days looking out for news materials yet return empty-handed.
　　In the beginning, a reporter has to cover a very wide field. After the early years he becomes more specialized in his work. For example, he may finally be asked to write only on court cases or politics or sports. Some reporters may become so specialized that they are asked only to write on a special thing: horse racing, for example. In most newspaper houses there is at least one special racing correspondent. Some newspapers have book reviews. Their job is delightful. They read the latest book and then write reviews on the ones they like. Then there are those who write on films, so they get to see them even before they are shown in the cinema. How lucky, you would say!
　　A reporter’s job can also be very dangerous. A number of them have died rushing from one assignment to another, and if there is a flood or a riot(暴亂) they may get hurt or even be killed. Three years ago there was a reporter whose camera was smashed by a group of men, because they were angry with him for taking their picture. Dangerous or not, one thing is certain, and that is, their job is never dull!
小題1:What does the underlined phrase “on the rush” mean in the passage?
A．on the beachB．on the spotC．in a hurryD．in no time
小題2:Reporters who write on films are said to be lucky because they _____.
A．can see more film stars
B．can see the films before most people see them in the cinema
C．can pay less than other people
D．can write anything they like
小題3:A reporter’s work becomes dangerous when _____.
A．there is an interview with the prime ministerB．there is a football match
C．he is seeing a horror filmD．there is a flood or a riot
小題4:From the passage we can infer that, to be a good reporter, he must be all of the following except _____.
A．braveB．quick in mindC．strongD．well-informed

As they migrate, butterflies and moths choose the winds they want to fly with, and they change their body positions if they start floating in the wrong direction. This new finding suggests that insects may use some of the same methods that birds use for traveling long distances. Scientists have long thought that insects were simply at the mercy of the wind.
Fascinating as their skills of flight are, migrating behavior has been difficult to study in insects because many long distant trips happen thousands of feet above ground. Only recently have scientists developed technologies that can detect such little creatures at such great heights.
To their surprise, though, the insects weren't passive travelers on the winds. In autumn, for example, most light winds blew from the east, but the insects somehow sought out ones that carried them south and they positioned themselves to navigate directly to their wintering homes.
Even in the spring, when most winds flowed northward, the insects didn't always go with the flow. If breezes weren't blowing in the exact direction they wanted to go, the insects changed their body positions to compensate(補償, 彌補). Many migrating birds do the same thing.
The study also found that butterflies and moths actively flew within the air streams that pushed them along. By adding flight speeds to wind speeds, the scientists calculated that butterflies and moths can travel as fast as 100 kilometers an hour. The findings may have real-world applications. With climate warming, migrating insects are growing in number. Knowing how and when these pests move could help farmers decide when to spray their crops.
小題1:What's the main idea of the text?
A．Insects migrate with the seasons.
B．The wind helps insects greatly in migrating.
C．Windsurfing insects have real direction.
D．Scientists have trouble in observing insects.
小題2:Scientists originally thought that _____.
A．insects always waited for their favorable winds
B．insects chose the winds they wanted to ride
C．insects were just blown about by the wind
D．insects positioned themselves in the winds
小題3:It is not easy to study the migrating behavior of the insects because ______.
A．the little creatures can fly very fast
B．their flight is long and high above ground
C．the wind's direction is hard to forecast
D．they have no regular migrating courses
小題4:According to the passage, the findings can ____
A．increase insects in number
B．instruct farmers when to spray their crops
C．prevent climate warming
D．help protect insects

If you are planning to learn a foreign language, here are some suggestions about language learning. I hope these suggestions can help improve your learning of a foreign language
Try to set aside some time every day for your study when your brain is at the most time for receiving information. It’s better to study for 30 minutes every day than for 3 hours once a week. If you can spare two or three hours a day, break them up into some periods to avoid brain getting tired.
Go over each lesson several times, perhaps once in the morning, once in the evening and once several days later. Give your brain time to understand the material, but the break between periods of study shouldn’t be too long, or you will forget most of what you’ve learned.
Make sure you’re comfortable with the bases of the language before learning the more advanced knowledge. Without full understanding of basic knowledge such as words pronunciation and spelling, you’ll find it very difficult to learn more.
Setting proper targets is a good way to encourage yourself. You could set yourself a time limit or aim for a certain level.
Once you have mastered the bases of the language, learn to apply them to the things that you’re interested in. In this way you are more likely to remember the words, phrases and grammatical constructions you meet.
You will find that at times you’re making rapid progress, while sometimes you seem to stand still or even go backwards. This is normal when learning a language, so don’t be discouraged.
Making mistakes in a foreign language is nothing to worry about. What matters is getting your message across, not whether you use all the right words, tenses, cases, etc. If you cannot think of the exact words, try using other ones.
小題1:What is the best time plan for studying a foreign language ?
A．A long period every day.B．Several short periods every day.
C．A long period once a week.D．Several short periods a week.
小題2:The break between periods of study shouldn’t be too long, because ___________.
A．you will be unable to go over a lesson for several times
B．you will be too tired to continue your study
C．you will waste a lot of time for study
D．you will forget what you are trying to learn easily
小題3:If you don’t fully understand the basic knowledge, you will ____________.
A．be unable to go on with your studyB．be uncomfortable with yourself
C．feel it very difficult to learn moreD．stop learning more in a short time
小題4:According to the author, which of the following is NOT true ?
A．Setting a goal can help you make rapid progress.
B．you should use what you’ve learned frequently to remember them.
C．Sometimes you may not make any progress.
D．Mistakes are quite normal in learning a language.
小題5:The purpose of this passage is ____________.
A．to give some advice on foreign language learning
B．to help students get high marks in foreign language exam

根據(jù)短文內容，從下框的A—F選項中選出能概括每一段主題的最佳選項。選項中有一項為多余項(E涂AB,F涂AC)
A Avoid asking your child too many questions
B Tell your child stories about your growing up
C Don’t judge or criticize your child
D Listen to your kids with respect
E Provide pressure-free conversation opportunities
F Ask children gently what they think
   If your child has gone from a continuous chatterbox to making conversations that consist mostly of yes and no, it’s time to consider these tips on how to talk to kids, so you’ll know what’s going on in your child’s world.
小題1:  
The quickest way to get kids to shut up and, as a result, shut you out of their lives is to continuously press them about things. A more effective way is to sit back and patiently wait for them to open up in a low-stress family and then be prepared to listen.
小題2:  
Parents can sometimes make kids at a young age decide it is best not to talk about something when they are criticized. If you really want to know what’s on your child’s mind, then avoid passing judgment and focus instead on why something seems important to your child.
小題3:
If you want to raise a creative and independent thinker, stop telling your child what he ought to feel or think. You can gently encourage additional conversations by simply asking why he feels the way he does or what he would do in a certain situation.
小題4:  
You may think you’re just asking questions out of curiosity when communicating with your child, but an endless stream of questions about what they did, whether everyone got along, if they went to the bathroom, ect., are enough to make anyone shut up! Practice patience and let your kids open up on their terms.
小題5:
Kids can relate to you and other adults when you tell your stories happening when you were their age. Talking to kids by telling them about things like something embarrassing that happened or the first crush(迷戀) you had helps them to connect with you and understand that you might actually know what they are going through!

A
In order to know a foreign language thoroughly(完全地), four things are necessary. First, we must understand the language when we hear it spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves, correctly with confidence and without hesitation(猶豫). Thirdly, we must be able to write it. We must be able to make sentences that are correct in grammar.
There is no short way to succeed in language learning. A good memory is a great help, but it is not enough only to memorize the rules from a grammar book. It is no much use learning by heart long lists of words and their meanings, studying the dictionary and so on. We must learn by using the language. If we are pleased with a few rules we have memorized, we are not really learning the language. We must “Learn through use”. Practice is important. We must practice speaking and writing the language whenever we can.
小題1:The most important things to learn a foreign language are_______.
A．understanding and speaking
B．hearing, speaking, reading and writing
C．writing and understanding
D．memorizing and listening
小題2:One can never learn a foreign language well only by_______.
A．much practice B．studying the dictionary
C．learning through useD．using the language
小題3:“Learn through use” means_______.
A．we use a language in order to learn it
B．we learn a foreign language in order to use it
C．we can learn a language well while we are using it
D．both B and C

Back those photos up
The images were striking．Homes on the East Coast were washed away by Superstorm Sandy. People were in tears, picking up faded photographs, among their only remaining possessions．
If that doesn't move you to get serious about safekeeping your lifetime of memories, what will? The digital age offers tools never imaginable before—including one-click access to a lifetime of family photos．
Here is a brochure (手冊) on how to back up (存) your photos and save them online, where they can live forever and be accessible in good times and bad．
Scanning
The first step for those old photos is to scan them and save them to a digital format (格式)．Most，printers come with scanners these days, so that's an easy but extremely time-consuming step．
Storing the photos
With your scans in place, import the photos into your computer, and back them up．
You could make multiple copies of the disks and spread them to loved ones．Or you could choose external (外接的) hard drives or USB thumb drive, and add your photo and video collection from your computer．
Online backup
If you need lots of space, look at a pure online backup service, Caronite．
Caronite backs up 300 million files daily．Once you sign up, it starts to pick up everything you have on your hard drive．But photo collection on your computer's main hard drive charges for $ 59 a year．
Cloud Storage
For folks who don't need automatic backup, but instead want to take a more active approach, Dropbox, Google Drive and Microsoft's SkyDrive let you store files online by yourself, share and instantly access them．All offer free options—2GB of free storage for Dropbox, 5GB for Google and 7GB for SkyDrive．But if you want more, you need to pay．
Bottom Line
The hard drive or flash drive is the cheapest and easiest．But drives can fail．Online services are more expensive, but more secure．With more of us switching back and forth between our computers, such services are the best way to get access to our data from wherever we are．
小題1:What can we know from the passage?
A．Scanning photos takes little time but costs a lot．
B．The hard drive or flash drive is the cheapest and safest．
C．Google Drive offers unlimited free photo storage on line．
D．Caronite charges for backing up photos from hard drive．
小題2:Which of the following allows storing files automatically?
A．Caronite．B．Dropbox．C．SkyDrive．D．Flash drive.
小題3:The main purpose of the passage is to ______．
A．tell real stories about storage services
B．introduce some of the storage services
C．describe the functions of storage services
D．argue about the advantage of storage services

根據(jù)短文內容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。（共5題，每小題2分，滿分10分）
Active listening is an essential skill in learning. It is when you listen carefully to make sure you understand and learn the information that is being conveyed.   1   Here are some things which can help you to listen actively.
Listen for the main point and major subpoints(次要點). Don’t just write everything down. Listen carefully and make sure you understand what the purpose of this lecture is. As you take down notes, keep the main point in mind and make sure you understand how these notes are related.
Listen for an organizational structure. Listen carefully to figure out how the ideas are organized and they will make more sense.
Pay attention to organizational cues（暗示）.   2  Pay close attention to the introduction, as it will probably indicate how you should organize your notes. If the lecture begins with, “ Today, I’m going to talk about three conflicts in the Middle East,” then you have a good idea of what’ s going to follow. Listen for “signpost” words to indicate a transition for one point to the next, such as “next” and “finally” and numerical signposts like “first” or “third”.
Listen with your eyes.    3  Watch the teacher and be aware of how he or she uses hand gestures, eye contact and other body language to convey points.
___4____ Put away the campus newspaper, your cell phone and anything else that might be more interesting than the lecture. Learning to concentrate and listen actively is an endurance(持久) skill.   5   
A． Speakers communicate information through nonverbal(不使用語言的) communication.
B． Unfortunately, many students don’t know how to listen actively when they attend classes.
C． If your teacher indicates that something is important ,mark it.
D． Make yourself do it, and it will get easier over time.
E.  Listen carefully for words and phrases that reflect the organizational structure of the lecture.
F.  Your teachers’ notes are probably organized into some kind of outline.
G.  Remove distractions.
