Question

In America, when the eighth graders leave the middle school, they are often worried about moving to the high school. It is a hard time for them, but it can be an exciting one as well. To make it easier, students need to get familiar with their school.

Even though they’ve done this already in the middle school, it’s still important to find where their classrooms are. Most schools take students to the high school for a visit at the end of their eighth grade year. And, most schools also have a freshman （新生）speech for parents and students before the first year begins. Sometimes the main office will give away a map of the school. This can help students and parents to find different places in the school.

One way to know your high school more and make new friends is to join a club or play a sport. Schools often offer chances to join different clubs and sports. Fall activities begin in August before the first day of school. If you are not interested in sports, there are clubs for any interest, such as drama, dance, chess, photography, community service, etc. These clubs allow students from different grades. By joining an activity, students can find new friendships, not to mention improving their chances in future college applications （申請）. The school office will have a list of activities offered at the school and information on how to join them.

What’s more, to have a great start to a high school year, students can write down some of their worries, and ask for help from teachers and school workers.

試題分析：這是一篇說明文，文章主要講了即將升入高中的同學們有很多苦惱，以及為了幫他們克服這些問題，學校通過哪些途徑和方法幫助他們更好的適應高中生活。其中主要的就是他們可以參加一些俱樂部和體育運動來融入學校。

1. are often worried about moving to the high school”（他們經常擔心要搬到高中去）中worried意思相近（同）的詞。所以選B

2.選項B 與原文不符there are clubs for any interest,，選項C由第三段中的“Fall activities begin in August before the first day of school.”意為秋季的活動始于開學前的8月份。由這句可看出C是錯的。答案：D

3.根據原文比對，選出正確答案。文章第二段中“Most schools take students to the high school for a visit at the end of their eighth grade year”意為大多數中學帶著學生在8年級臨近結束時前往高中去參觀，故選D。

4.主要考查對文章主題的理解和掌握。從文中給出的參加俱樂部和體育活動以及提前參觀教室可看出文章是在給那些對高中生活但有的同學們建議。故選D。
