My high school life has been filled with many ups and downs, whether it was social or academic. Even though my current high school was not my first choice, I never regretted attending Southside High School. “Since you have chosen it, then it is the best for you,” said my parents.
Up until the junior year I did not realize my capabilities (能力) as a student. Being in the IB Program, I was told that my junior year would be the toughest in all the years of high school. With this “little” piece of information, I walked into my junior year, scared of my grades. As weeks went by, I started to believe that the junior year was not as hard as everyone had said, but I was wrong. My grades were rapidly declining(下降) and by the end of the first term I had had five Cs in seven of my classes! I could not believe it --- I did not want to believe it. I tried my best to get my grades up myself without any help from anyone, but my pride just made my grades worse. And I had to miss out on one of the most important speech and debate competitions all year: States. I was heartbroken. I realized that I could not survive my junior year on my own, so I had to get help fast.
Once I got a tutor, my grades went from Cs, Ds, and even some Fs, to nothing but As and Bs. I slowly started to gain my confidence back in all of my classes and even myself. By the time the third and fourth quarter came around, I had been on the honor roll twice, and I was receiving awards from speeches and debates, tennis and school.
Southside has taught me to always keep my head up and never give up on myself no matter what life throws at me. I am proud to be a Southside Tiger.
41. From the first paragraph, we can learn that ______.
the writer always thought Southside High School was the best
the writer’s parents persuaded her into attending Southside High School
the writer has met many challenges since she attended high school
life has become easier since the writer came to Southside High School
42. How did the writer feel when she walked into her junior year?
Confident. B. Worried C. Curious. D. Uninterested.
43. Why was the writer’s study worse and worse?
She didn’t work hard enough. B. She didn’t ask others for help because of pride.
She missed many important speeches.D. No one would like to help her.
44. What is mainly talked about in Para 3?
The writer’s appreciation for her tutor. B. The writer’s various hobbies.
The writer’s new discovery at school. D. The writer’s achievements at school.
What important lesson has the writer learned at Southside High School?
Students should face challenges bravely.
Students should be careful in choosing school.
Students should be proud of their school.
Students should better learn about life.
C
A ground-based system that uses much stronger signals than GPS can find your location in cities and indoors. It is a new positioning system that could compete with GPS to make sure you never lose your directions again.
Instead of satellites, Locata uses ground-based equipment to send a radio signal over a localized area that is a million times stronger on arrival than GPS. It can work indoors as well as outdoors, and the makers claim that the receivers can be shrunk(缩小) to fit inside a regular cell phone. Even the US armies, which invented GPS technology, signed a file last month agreeing to a test of Locata at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.
“This is one of the most important technology developments for the future of the positioning industry,” says Nunzio Gambale, CEO and co-founder of the firm Locata, based in Griffith, Australia.
As for the Locata’s correctness, Christopher Morin of the US Air Force tested it recently at White Sands, and it worked to within 18cm along any axis(轴). Morin said it should be possible to get the exactitude down to 5cm.
The tests were performed in an open desert where GPS also worked beautifully, but its signal was weak—like a car headlight from 20,000 kilometers away—and easily cut off by solid objects(实心的物体). Locata’s signal was far stronger, though not guaranteed to work in a complex urban environment, said David, speaker of the UK’ s General Lighthouse Authorities.
Locata’s technology will face competition in the race to transform indoor navigation. But it could shine in specific areas, Gambale said. Robots with Locata could easily navigate inside buildings without the complex optical(视觉的) systems they need at the moment. And the process that handles correct location data could not only guide you around a mall, railway station or airport, but also take you to the exact shelf in a shop for the product you want. It would be small and cheap enough for smart phones and it should be available within five years—a similar path to the one GPS took on its way towards the world, he said.
The passage is written mainly to ______.
encourage people to buy the Locata
tell us the disadvantages of the GPS
introduce a new positioning system Locata
tell us that Locata will replace GPS one day
Which of the following is NOT true about Locata?
Without the help of the satellites, Locata can tell you where you are.
Locata will be popular with most people even including the US armies.
Locata has a better signal than GPS in some bad environments.
In five years, Locata will take the place of GPS.
According to the passage, Gambale______.
did the experiment at White Sands last month
believed the Locata would help to develop smart robots’ creation
doubted whether Locata can work in a complex environment or not
was worried about the competition the Locata faced
Which of the following can replace the underlined word “exactitude” in Paragraph 4?
Accuracy. B. Speed. C. Determination D. Length
What can we know from the passage?
Locata is as small as a cell phone.
GPS is the most practical position system at present.
Locata will tell you how to get what you want in the future.
Locata will enter our lives through the cell phone, just like GPS.
D
Young children from poor families are more likely to consume junk food and fizzy drinks(汽水) than their richer companions. A study of 1,800 four- and five-year-olds found more than half of those from poor backgrounds drank at least one a week, compared to just four in ten oofy kids. They also drank less milk and consumed more fruit juice which is also linked to child obesity (肥胖) caused by high sugar intake(摄取量).
The phenomenon also relates to children who spend more than two hours a day in front of a TV or playing computer games—whatever their social circumstances. A companion study also found children from poor families were more likely to eat chips, sweets and chocolate. Professor Kate Storey said, “when you are looking at that age group, and such a large percentage of very young kids in the study are consuming a large amount of soda(苏打汽水)，it is quite concerning. ”
The researchers carried out the study by surveying the parents of their participants to find out their dietary habits. Professor Storey said, “If you are drinking a lot of soda and fruit juice, they can displace(取代)consumption of water and milk, which are important not just for ending thirst, but for developing healthy bones and teeth, and health and wellness in general.”
Co-researcher Dr John Spence said, “Dietary behavior and intake patterns are influenced heavily by what happens in the first few years with children, and they maintain those patterns throughout childhood and into adolescence(青少年时期).” In addition to basic health education, this study identifies a need in how we are dealing with poverty and recognizing there is more to poverty than simply the number of dollars people have.
Professor Storey said that shows how education can make a difference and lead to healthier eating habits, regardless of what is happening at home. “Many families live in places that might not be very healthy for them and, as a result, they make unhealthy food choices. You can start making a difference in different places. It calls for action in multiple settings, schools and communities, for example. That light-bulb moment can happen in a variety of places,” Professor Storey added.
51. What does the underlined word “oofy” mean in Para.1?
Wealthy. B. Healthy. C. Fat D. Weak.
52. According to the passage, Professor Storey thinks it helpful for children ______.
A. to drink more coffee B. to drink more milk
C. to drink more soda D. to drink more fruit juice
53. According to Dr John Spence, children’s habits in the early stage of life can even affect _____.
A. their attitude towards life B. their living patterns of youth
C. health in their old age D. living quality of all their life
54. Professor Storey considers that healthier eating habits can be _____.
A. finally determined by parents’ life habits B. gently changed by parents’ life habits
C. suddenly changed by family situation D. gradually changed by education
55. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Young people like eating junk food.
B. Junk food is bad for both young children and adults.
C. Children from poor families are more likely to eat junk food.
D. Junk food causes more and more children to become overweight.

阅读下面的短文，请根据短文后的要求答题。
Choosing the right university for you is a big decision with many factors to consider. The institution that you choose will not only be the one that ensures your academic goals, but it will also be where you will live, learn, play sports, socialize and work for several years. Therefore, before you start filling out those university application forms, take a step back and consider the many variables that affect the “fit” of a university to your unique personality and educational goals. Take a look at the following factors, and decide which ones mean the most to you.
Consider your educational goals. You will discover that different schools are more recognized or progressive in your chosen field of study than others. For this reason, talk to advisors, professionals in your field, or go to clubs organized by the alumni(校友). When you check out school ranking for your major, you may find that your first choice is not really a match, while another fits perfectly.
Consider costs. It will be no surprise to you at this point that not all schools cost the same. Some of the more famous schools are so because they are difficult to get into and difficult to pay for. Don’t let this necessarily stop you. Just keep this consideration in mind as you narrow your list of potential schools.
Choosing a university should not be done only on reputation, but also take the academic programs and overall environment into consideration. Be aware that reputations are sometimes out of date or overstated, so first-hand experience is often beneficial.
Once you’ve identified the factors that are most important to you, you’ve taken the first steps towards making a successful choice. Make sure you pick a university that will serve your needs throughout your university career.
