High school could be a scary time for everyone. The school seems bigger; there are more kids and it’s a totally new environment. In fact, it isn’t that bad.

  High school is a lot like middle school after a while. The first day of course is always scary, and the first day of middle school must have been the same. Of course, the first few days you might get lost while looking for your classes but after a while, what seemed to be a large school really isn’t.

  One thing that’s really cool about high school is that there are so many more classes you can take. If you happen to like art, there are many art classes. In addition, there are other classes that weren’t available in middle school like photography or psychology.

  In high school, there are a lot of things that are similar to how middle school was but at the same time, there are other opportunities available as well. There are more clubs, sports, and other activities you can join in.

  You’re able to join in these activities and make new friends with kids with the same interest as you. These activities also give you a chance to learn something you never had the opportunity to learn before.

  High school has something for everyone. You just have to decide what to take part in. but there’s one thing that’s certain that you’re going to have just as much fun in high school as you did in middle school. And if middle school wasn’t that great for you, high school is a chance to make up for it.

  High school isn’t just about having fun though. You have to be responsible while you’re growing up. Teachers aren’t going to chase (催促) you up to do your homework.

56. The passage is mainly about __________.

       A. high school life         B. how to take art classes

       C. the fun side of high school life D. how to make new friends in high school

57. In the author’s opinion, high school life __________.

       A. is a scary time for everyone     B. is full of fun without any worries

       C. is the same as middle school life      D. is as much fun as middle school life

58. It can be inferred that you can do the following things in high school EXCEPT __________.

       A. making more friends B. taking photography classes

       C. getting lost while looking for classes

       D. ignoring your homework until your teacher reminds you

59. The article is probably taken from __________.

       A. a travel magazine             B. a book review

       C. an advice column for students   D. a film poster

I grew up in a small town and the main entertainment was Friday night high school football. It was just a sleepy little town where parents wanted to raise their children away from  36_  and danger of a big city, and where teenagers like me _37_ leaving to find something bigger and better.
All that  38 _ one summer night. My friend Lisa, Kim and Tyler held a party for my eighteenth birthday at Lisa’s house. As they kept  _39_ alcohol to me, I was pretty drunk.

The driver didn’t see her  _44_ to avoid the car. They hit head on. Kim died immediately, and the driver was thrown  45_ the truck windshield(擋風玻璃)and died a week later.
Whenever I  46_ back on that day, I can’t help thinking that it was my  47 to drink so much that night, otherwise things would be different. I know Kim  48_ the choice to drink and drive that night , but a part of me will always feel  49 _for what happened.

科目:高中英語 來源:2013屆遼寧省東北育才雙語學校高三上學期第一次模擬考試英語試卷(帶解析) 題型:閱讀理解

Rowena and Billy Wrangler are model high school students. They study hard and do extremely well on achievement tests. And next year,Rowena will be attending Harvard University.Billy,her younger brother,hopes to go to Cornell.What makes Rowena and Billy different from most students is that they don't go to school.In fact,they've never been to school.Since kindergarten,they've studied at home.Like many of more than one million people who receive home schooling in the United States, they feel as if they've gotten a good education.
The home-schooling trend began in the U.S.in the 1980s with parents keeping their children out of public schools so they could provide religious education at home. Today,as the home-schooling trend continues to grow,parents are more likely to consider home schooling as an option because they believe schools don't do a very good job of teaching and are occasionally dangerous places.But can parents really do a better job?
The answer in many cases is yes.In many studies,students taught at home ranked average or above average when compared to students who went to public schools.More importantly,these students were often more self-directed and have a greater depth of knowledge.They were well prepared for academic challenges.
One such student,Robert Conrad, now a sophomore at university, claims he really learned how to study and schedule his time during his eight years of home schooling.Still, not every student is as successful as Robert.
“For every home-schooling success story,there are an equal number of failures.”states Henry Lipscomb,an educational researcher.“There are just so many disadvantages that students taught at home have to overcome.” For example,they have fewer chances to get in touch with others of their own age.Consequently,they sometimes lack the usual social skills.“No matter what,though,”states Lipscomb,“home-schooling is a growing trend.I think we'll be seeing more and more of this.”
【小題1】Compared with other students, Rowena and Billy are most different in the fact that ___________.

A.they preferred to teach themselves
B.they do extremely well on achievement tests
C.they don't go to school as other teenagers
D.they feel they have gotten a good education
【小題2】According to the article, what is NOT the advantage of being educated at home?
A.Home is a safer place for children.
B.Students taught at home are more self-directed.
C.Students taught at home have a greater depth of knowledge.
D.Students taught at home can go to good universities.
【小題3】The writer thinks __________ .
A.parents can do a better job than schools
B.home-schooling will be more and more useful
C.home-schooling is good in some aspects
D.students taught at home make greater achievements
【小題4】The best title of this text might be ________ .
A.Home-schooling:A Growing Trend
B.Home-schooling:A Better Choice
C.Home-schooling:A Way to Success
D.Home-schooling:A New Method of Education
