27、 You may not know a lot of people when you start high school. Maybe your friends from middle school are going to a different high school. Even if you know other freshmen(新生), you still feel nervous that you don’t know any upper-classmen. How are you going to make friends among this sea of unknown faces?
Most high schools hold a freshman orientation(训练) before school actually starts. These are helpful not only because you learn your way around the building and get to meet some of your teachers, but you also get to meet fellow freshmen. That way, when you show up on your first day of school, you may already recognize a few familiar faces.
When you talk to people at orientation, you’ll probably find that a lot of them are feeling just like you are. They’re all new to the school and don’t know what to expect. Talking about a common concern with your classmates can help you develop friendships.
The work in high school is something freshmen are probably worried about. The work in high school builds on what you learned in middle school, giving you a more advanced knowledge of many subjects. So you may find you have more work to do or that it’s a bit more challenging. If you ever find your work too difficult, teachers can give you extra help.
High school also has more after-school activities than middle school did, such as clubs, music and theater groups and sports teams. This is a good time to explore your interests and try new things.
Middle school taught you the basics of academics, time management, and social skills while providing you with a little extra support and guidance. High school gives you the chance to learn how to be more independent and responsible.
【1】According to the passage, when they come to the school on the first day freshmen usually feel ____.
A.proud B.nervous C.excited D.afraid
【2】What are freshmen probably worried about?
A.The learning task. B.The chances to make friends.
C.The freshman orientation. D.The relationship with teachers.
【3】After-school activities mainly help students ____.
A.build up healthy bodies B.develop friendships
C.develop their interests D.improve their learning ability
【4】The last paragraph is mainly about ____.
A.what you’ll learn in high school
B.what you leaned in middle school
C.the difference between middle school and high school
D.the importance of being more independent and responsible
28、 Celebrity (名人) has become one of the most important representatives of popular culture. Fans used to be crazy about a specific film, but now the public tends to base its consumption (消费) on the interest of celebrity related to any given product. Besides, fashion magazines have almost abandoned the practice of putting models on the cover because they don’t sell nearly as well as famous faces. As a result, celebrities have realized their unbelievably powerful market potential (潜力), moving from advertising for others’ products to developing their own.
Celebrity clothing lines aren’t a completely new phenomenon (现象), but in the past they were typically aimed at the ordinary consumers, and limited to a few TV actresses. Today they’re started by first-class stars whose products enjoy equal fame with some world top brands. The most successful start-ups have been those by celebrities with specific personal style. As celebrities become more and more experienced at the market, they expand their production scale (规模) rapidly, covering almost all the products of daily life.
However, for every success story, there’s a related warning tale of a celebrity who overvalued his consumer attraction. No matter how famous the product’s origin is, if it fails to impress consumers with its own qualities it begins to look like an exercise in self-promotional marketing. And once the attention dies down, consumer interest might decrease, loyalty returning to tried-and-true labels.
Today, celebrities face even more serious embarrassment. The pop-cultural circle might be bigger than ever but its rate of turnover has speeded up as well. Each misstep threatens to reduce a celebrity’s shelf life, and the same newspaper or magazine that once brought him fame (名声) has no problem picking him to pieces when the opportunity appears. Still, the ego’s (自我的) potential for expansion is limitless. Having already achieved great wealth and public recognition, many celebrities see fashion as the next frontier to be conquered. As the saying goes, success and failure always go hand in hand. Their success as designers might last only a short time, but fashion-like celebrity-has always been temporary.
【1】Fashion magazines today ____________.
A.totally refuse to put models on the cover
B.rarely put models on the cover
C.need not worry about celebrities’ market potential
D.judge the market potential of every celebrity correctly
【2】A change in the consumer market can be found today that _____________.
A.price rather than brand name is more concerned
B.producers prefer models to celebrities for advertisements
C.producers prefer TV actresses to film stars for advertisements
D.quality rather than the outside of products is more concerned
【3】The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 indicates that any wrong step will possibly__________.
A.shorten the artistic career of a celebrity in show business
B.damage the image of a celebrity in the eyes of the general public
C.decrease the popularity of a celebrity and the sales of his products
D.influence the price of a celebrity’s products
【4】The passage is mainly about ___________.
A.celebrity and personal style B.celebrity and market potential
C.celebrity and fashion design D.celebrity and clothing industry
29、“Super-agers” have long puzzled scientists, but now researchers say they are unpicking why some people live beyond 80 and still appear to be well.
Researchers say studies show that super-agers appear to adapt more easily to the slings and arrows of life, and are more open-minded and less sensitive. But they have also made another discovery. Looking at the brains of 10 super-agers after they died, Prof Emily Rogalski, from Northwestern University said they discovered these individuals have more of a certain type of brain cell known as Von Economo neurons ( 神经) than average elderly individuals. “We can’t explain how they ended up with more Von Economo neurons or why that is important. But these are a special type of neurons that have only been found in a couple of regions of the brain.”
Studies have shown there are other differences as well. “When we look at the rate of cognitive ( 认知的) thinning in the cognitively average 80-year-olds, their brains are thinning at nearly two and a half times that of the super-agers,” said Rogalski.
Being underweight also seemed to matter, with those who had a very low body mass index after the age of 80 more likely to die. It’s not bad to be skinny when you’re young but it is when you’re old.
The researchers say they have also found that the common bad habits do not necessarily lead to an early grave, with many super-agers saying they smoked and enjoyed a drink. “We ask them why is it that you think you are a super-ager, how did you get here, and there are a couple of funny ladies and they will say, well it’s because I have some alcohol with my friends every day at 5 o’clock. Others have never had a drink,” said Rogalski.
However, Rogalski added, that did not mean that people should take up bad habits to live longer, noting that some people might have a genetic makeup that allowed them to tolerate smoking and drinking. Nonetheless, Rogalski thinks we can learn from super-agers. “We are getting quite good at extending our lifespan but our health span isn’t keeping up and what the super-agers have is more of a balance between those two, they are living long and living well,” she said.
【1】What can we learn about Von Economo neurons?
A．They can be found all over the super-agers’ brains.
B．They lead to super-agers’ easier adaptation to hardships.
C．Super-agers are found to have more of them in their brains.
D．Scientists have discovered how they are produced in brains.
【2】Compared to the average elderly, super-agers .
A．have better life habits
B．tend to drink more alcohol
C．are usually much slimmer
D．are slower in brain thinning
【3】What does Rogalski intend to tell us by the underlined sentence?
A．We should develop good habits to live longer.
B．We should seek to live well while living long.
C．Super-agers should help us extend our health span.
D．Extending lifespan is harder than keeping health span.
【4】What is the writer’s purpose in writing the passage?
A．To reveal some secrets of super-agers.
B．To introduce the ways of staying young.
C．To explain the advantages of living long.
D．To describe various habits of super-agers.
