3.Walk Out of the Comfort Zone and Try New Things
For most high school students,free periods are useless.From what I have seen,few do homework,instead many are on their phones and talking,making it impossible for those who actually want to do work to complete any.As a senior next year,I think extra periods should be used to take optional subjects.
Our school offers many classes.Now is the time to experiment in different fields of study.We will never know if we are interested or talented in a subject if we don't try it.
In my 8th grade,I was told that I had to take an art class as a graduation requirement; so in the 9th grade I took Studio and Art.One of the projects was to build a clay pot,but I built mine incorrectly,so it broke in the kiln (窑).I found out that I have no artistic ability at all,and now I know for sure that I do not want to be an artist.However,the class was one of my favorites that year.I was able to try new activities and test my ability.
Walk out of our comfort zone and try new things!College is when we should focus on a specific major,but high school is when we have to figure it out.
Half of all college students change their major at some point.By doing that hundreds of dollars are wasted on classes that they would have never needed to take.So use our extra periods to find out what we want to do in college.The classes we choose can impact us in future.Taking optional subjects will enrich our mind.It will also show colleges we are diverse students.

81.How should we use our extra periods in the author's opinion?
(No more than 9words)(2marks)
We should use them to take optional subjects.
82.Why does the author think we should experiment in different fields of study?
(No more than 17words)(2marks)
Because we will never know if we are interested or talented in a subject without trying it.
83.Why did the clay pot show the author's lack of artistic ability?
(No more than 10words)(3marks)
Because it was built incorrectly and broken in the kiln.
84.According to the author,how will taking optional subjects impact up in the future?
(No more than 13words)(3marks)
It will enrich our mind and show colleges we are diverse students..

科目:高中英语 来源:云南省2017届高三下学期第一次统测英语试卷(有答案) 题型:阅读理解

The Super Bowl is the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL).The game is the culmination(高潮)to a season that begins in the late summer of the previous calendar year. Normally, Roman numerals are used to identify each game, rather than the year in which it is held. For example, Super Bowl I was played on January 15, 1967, following the 1966 regular season. The single exception to this rule is Super Bowl 50, which was played on February 7, 2016, following the 2015 regular season. The next game, Super Bowl LII, scheduled for February 4, 2018, will follow the 2017 regular season.

The game was created as part of a merger(合并) agreement between the NFL and its then rival league, the American Football League (AFL). Currently, the Pittsburgh Steelers have the most Super Bowl victories, with six. The New England Patriots have the most Super Bowl appearances, with nine.

The day (usually the first Sunday in February) on which the Super Bowl is played, now considered as an unofficial American national holiday, is called "Super Bowl Sunday". It is the second-largest day for U.S. food consumption, after Thanksgiving Day. In addition, the seven most-watched broadcasts in U.S. television history are Super Bowls. In 2015, Super Bowl XLIX attracted an audience of 114.4 million.

Because of the high viewership, commercial airtime during the Super Bowl broadcast is the most expensive of the year, leading to companies regularly developing their most expensive advertisements for this broadcast. As a result, watching and discussing the broadcast's commercials has become a significant aspect of the event. In addition, popular singers and musicians including Michael Jackson, Madonna, Prince, Beyonce, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Whitney Houston, and Lady Gaga have performed during the event's pregame and halftime ceremonies.

1.According to the text, in the Super Bowl ________.

A. the New England Patriots have won nine times

D. winners of the last season play against each other

2.On Super Bowl Sunday, American people usually ________.

C. avoid the Super Bowl commercials D. enjoy performances by famous artists

3.In 2015, the ________ Super Bowl was held.

A. 46th B. 49th C. 51st D. 55th

4.We can know from the text that the Super Bowl ________.

A. is a public holiday in the United States

B. is the annual championship game of AFL

C. launches a new season of the National Football League every year

D. has frequently been the most watched American television broadcast of the year

Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions.

Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes? It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person's conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people's reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.

Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing "the right thing." Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, "You're just saying that to make me feel good. I know it's not true." It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.

Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths. Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let's not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.

1.The first paragraph is mainly about _______.

A. the cause of shyness

B. the feeling of shy people

C. the effect of shyness on people

D. the question in the minds of shy people

2.According to the writer, self-awareness is __________.

A. harmful to people

B. a healthy quality

C. the cause of unhappiness

D. a weak point of shy people

3.What is the shy people’s reaction to praise?

A. They are pleased by it.

B. They feel they are worthy of it.

C. They are very sensitive to it.

D. They feel it is not true.

4.What can learn from the passage that shyness can _______.

A. be overcome with determination

B. help us to live up to our full development

C. enable us to understand ourselves better

D. have nothing to do with lack of self- respect

An insect bee stands out on the logo of the Scripps National Spelling Bee, despite “Bee” being unrelated to the name of the insect. “Bee” refers to “a gathering”, where people join together in an activity.

The National Spelling Bee, formed in 1925, was a collection of many local spelling bees, organized by Louisville. With competitions, cash prizes, and a trip to the nation’s capital, it was hoped that the bee would stimulate “general interest among pupils in a dull subject”. Mark Neuhauser won the national Spelling Bee held that year, by successfully spelling “gladiolus”. In 2014, there were two winners of the bee-a conclusion that has only happened three other times in Bee history, and not since 1962. Sriam Harthwar, a 14-year-old from New York and Ansun Sujoe, a 13-year-old from Texas shared the excitement as co-champions after 22 rounds of spelling. Each took home over $30,000 in cash, scholarship and bonds.

The spelling bee has been held every year except for 1943-1945 due to World War II. Later, the Scripps Company acquired the rights to the program in 1941. The bee is held in late May or early June of each year. It is open to students who have not yet completed the eighth grade, reach their 15th birthday, nor won a precious National Spelling Bee. Its goal is educational; not only to encourage children to perfect the art of spelling, but also to help enlarge their vocabularies and widen their knowledge of the English language.

1.When did Mark win the National Spelling Bee?

A. In 1925 B. In 1941. C. In 1962. D. In 2014.

2.What does the underlined word “stimulate” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. influence B. lose. C. inspire. D. show.

3.We can conclude from the text that       .

A. Ansun is allowed to take part in the Bee again if he likes

B. the goal of the Bee is more commercial than educational

C. the Bee has already been held for ninety times

D. the first prize has been shared four times in Bee history

4.What’s the purpose of writing the text?

A. To make people know a new kind of insect-spelling bee.

B. To introduce a competition about spelling words.

C. To discuss the ways of participating the Scripps National Spelling Bee.

D. To share Mark Neuhauser’s pleasure of winning the competition.
