A

Hi, I'm Amanda! I was asked to share more about my experience as an online student of Virtual High School to give you a better idea of what it's like, or at least what it was like for me. Usually I was working on four courses at a time, just as if I were in a brick-and-mortar high school. But unlike students in a brick-and-mortar school, I did not work for a set amount of time each day. Sometimes I would spend the whole day on English, and on another I would study among all four, depending on how focused I was or what I felt motivated to do. I loved skating during my high school years, both as a competitor and a coach. Below is an example of what a typical day was like for me.

6:00 am—8:00 am: Skating

9:00 am—10:30 am: Read content for English

10:30 am—10:45 am: Break (usually a walk outside catching up with friends, etc.)

10:45 am—12:00 pm: Begin brainstorming and do primary research for English assignments

12:00 pm—12:30 pm: Lunch

12: 30 pm—3 :30 pm: Read content for maths, work through exercises, start a maths assignment 4:00 pm—7 :00 pm: Skating and coaching

A common question I would get was, “Do you spend a lot of time in front of the computer to do the courses?” The answer is “yes”. It is an online school, after all. That does not mean that you are tied to a desk, however. Like students in brick-and-mortar schools, I took notes by hand so that I wasn’t always typing or looking at a screen. I often went to the library to find books for my research and English courses.

1. How many courses did Amanda have?

A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.

2. When did Amanda study maths according to the example of a typical day?

A. Between 10:45 am and 12:00 pm. B. Between 12:30 pm and 3 :30 pm.

C. Between 12:00 pm and 2:30 pm. D. Between 3 :30 pm and 7:00 pm.

3. What did Amanda always do as an online student?

A. She wrote down notes by hand. B. She wrote online English books.

C. She took classes in the library. D. She took her notes by typing.

B

It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly my mother will push the conversation into the Third World War. She’ll talk about my lack of bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I don’t want to do any job related to science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major in English, she nearly had a heart attack.

“Why can’t you be like my co-worker’s son?” she shouts all the time. Her co-worker’s son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don’t know what to say except that I simply can’t be like Mr. Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed co-worker’s son. I can’t be like him. I am the type of the person who loves to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve something because of loving it, not because of fame or salary.

I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle (艰难) to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am and usually comes back home around 5:00 pm or even 6:00 pm.

However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful. I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.

4. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 mean?

A. The author’s mother argued about something angrily with him.

B. The author’s mother expressed different opinions on the war.

C. The author’s mother liked talking with him but got angry easily.

D. The author’s mother quite disagreed about what to eat for dinner.

5. Why does the author’s mother mention her co-worker’s son?

A. To tell the author to learn as hard as he can. B. To persuade the author to become a doctor.

C. To encourage the author to receive a scholarship. D. To ask the author to earn much more money.

6. What makes the author’s mother worried about his major?

A. Her plans for future. B. Her need to control.

C. Her struggle with life. D. Her poor knowledge.

7. What can be inferred from the text?

A. The author will become an engineer as his mother wishes.

B. Being a scientist is sure to earn high fame and salary.

C. The author shows little interest in learning English.

D. The author may choose major according to his interest.

C

English spelling has been changing for over a thousand years and the spelling difficulties we have today is the result of many different things that have taken place over this time.

It was a tricky beginning for English spelling. Quite simply, the 23-letter Roman alphabet has never been enough — even Old English (spoken 450-1150) had about 35 sounds, and the number is now even bigger. But the English spelling was and still is based on the Roman alphabet.

More spelling problems came in when the French introduced new spelling rules — their own of course? and not always helpful. Using “c” instead of “s” for words like city was confusing because “c” also sounds “k” in words like cat.

And then printing arrived in the 15th century — and with it more mess (混乱). William Caxton (who set up the printing machines in the first place) liked Dutch spellings and so he introduced the “gh” in ghost and ghastly. Some printers were Europeans and they introduced favourite spellings too from their own languages. Such spelling rules were not helpful either!

One of the biggest problems for English spelling has always been changes in pronunciation. Printing helped to stablise (使……稳定……) the spelling of words, but then some sounds changed their shape? and others even disappeared altogether. Think of those silent letters in words such as walk, through, write, right, know — these were once pronounced.

Many silent letters appeared just because some famous busybodies wanted to make the language look more beautiful. This caused serious mess. Let’s take rhyme as an example. It came from the French word rime. But it was changed to rhyme to give it a nicer look. It was an interesting idea but hardly helpful for someone trying to spell the word! The 16th and 17th centuries saw many extra letters introduced in this way.

All these events lead to the messy spelling system we have today. But you know, there are in fact over 80% of words spelled according to regular rules.

8. How many letters are there in the Roman alphabet?

A. 23. B. 26. C. 35. D. 48.

9. Which word is most probably spelt according to the French rules?

A. Sit. B. Cycle. C. Calm. D. Knee.

10. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?

A. Sound changes. B. Silent letters.

C. Borrowed spelling rules. D. Printing mistakes.

11. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?

A. To call for a much simpler spelling.

B. To tell how to recognize foreign words.

C. To explain why English spelling is so difficult.

D. To show how to pronounce difficult words.

D

The endangered pandas in Qinling Mountains might face a new threat(威胁): the loss of their food, bamboo, which makes up 99% of their meals.

Adult pandas spend most part of the day eating bamboo and have to take in at least 40 pounds a day to stay healthy. However, a new study published in Nature and Climate Change warned that they may soon find their food gone because most of the bamboo in Qinling Mountains might disappear by the end of the century as a result of rising temperature worldwide.

A team made up of researchers from Michigan State University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences has studied the effects of climate change on the bamboo in Qinling Mountains. They have found that bamboo is very sensitive to climate changes. “80% to 100% of the bamboo would be gone if the average temperature increases 3.5 degrees worldwide by the end of the century.” said Liu Jianguo, one of the report’s authors.

He added, “This is how much the temperature would rise by 2100 even if all countries will keep their promises in the Paris Agreement. But you know what is happening around the world.”

In recent years, China has been trying its best to protect the endangered pandas by setting up more and bigger natural reserves.

“But it is far from being enough and the endangered pandas need cooperation from the rest of the world, because their future is not just in the hands of the Chinese,” said Shirley Martin from World Wildlife Fund but not a member of the team.

The Qinling Mountains, in the southwest of China, are home to about 260 pandas. That is about 13% of the China’s wild panda population. In addition, about 375 are living in research centers and zoos in China.

12. What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A. Lots of the bamboo in Qinling Mountains will probably disappear.

B. Qinling Mountains cannot provide enough bamboo for the pandas.

C. Pandas in Qinling Mountains are just threatened by the loss of food.

D. Pandas have already eaten 99% of the bamboo in Qinling Mountains.

13. What does Liu Jianguo mean?

A. China needs more help from World Wildlife Fund.

B. Bamboo is sensitive to the changes of temperature.

C. China is making great efforts to protect the pandas.

D. It is difficult to control the temperature rise within 3.5℃.

14. How many wild pandas are there in China?

A. About 260. B. About 635.

C. About 2,000. D. About 2,635.

15. Which can be the best title for the text?

A. The Disappearance of Bamboo B. Necessity to Change Pandas’ Food

C. Efforts Made to Save Pandas D. A New Threat Faced by the Pandas
