books to help your child make a smooth transition to living independently and exploring the world of higher education.Here are some fantastic stories and resources to help your teen get ready for college.Every Body Looking Going to college means that Ada will be living away from her family for the first time in her life.The distance gives her anxiety,but breathing room,too.She has the opportunity to reflect on her upbringing,her familys expectations,and what she wants for herself.Paying for College College is expensive,but there are ways to ease the financial burden.This essential guidebook will help you identify ways to increase your financial aid,find scholarships,and minimize college costs.The College Wellness Guide Your childs first year of college will be exciting but stressful,too.Stress can have negative impacts on their emotional,physical,and mental well-being.This wellness guide will help your child identify their stressors,find ways to stay healthy at

statistics,active smoking kills 400,000 smokers in the United States each year,and secondhand smoke kills 53,000 nonsmokers in the United States each year.Equally disturbing is the fact that 80%of smokers have their first cigarette before they are 18 years old.Before trying to solve the health problems related to cigarette smoking,an important question to ask is why people start smoking to begin with.Some factors involved in beginning to smoke are environmental.For example,family history influences whether or not a child becomes a smoker.When parents smoke,they model smoking behaviour,and children often copy what they see their parents do.Many people,especially young people,have their first cigarette because of peer pressure.They want to be accepted in their social group,and if smoking is part of the groups activities,young people will begin to smoke in order to be accepted into the group.Personal factors also affect whether a person will begin to smoke.People with tendencies toward risk-taking behaviour are more likely to start smoking than people who tend not to take risks.Outgoing people are also more likely to become smokers than shy people are.People also take up smoking to release stress,or to help themselves lose weight.Finally,people,especially young people,begin to smoke because they believe smoking makes them appear mature,self-confident,and independent.When we understand the reasons why people become smokers,we can help smokers become nonsmokers 高二英语试卷 第 5 页 共 14 页 again.We can also help nonsmokers remain lifetime nonsmokers.24.If one wants to quit smoking,what should he do first?A.To ask parents and teachers for help.B.To figure out why people start smoking.C.To find a comfortable environment.D.To strengthen the resolve to stop smoking.25.According to the text,which is not the reason for starting smoking?A.Parents influence.B.Peer pressure.C.Personality.D.Addiction.26.Which of the following statement is not true?A.More people die from active smoking than passive smoking.B.Most of smokers start smoking before 18 years old.C.One can be easily accepted by a social group if he smokes.D.Outgoing people has a stronger tendency to become smokers than shy people.27.Where will you probably read the passage?A.Health magazine.B.Research report.C.Fiction story.D.Newspaper.C Dear son,We are upon the first anniversary(周年)of a shocking killing.Last May,outside of a grocery store in Minnesota,George Floyd-a Black man-was slowly,casually murdered by a White police officer.Floyds daughter,Gianna,is the same age as you.I know that Floyd certainly didnt choose to sacrifice,as one government officer said,his life to the cause of racial（种族的）justice,leaving her daughter fatherless.Sometimes,when I look at your beautiful face,I think of that little girl and my heart breaks.My son,you came into my heart almost seven years ago as a gift.You were lucky enough to be born in a country where dreams can come true,so they say,and I hope that this will be the case for you.But you were also born inside Black skin and sadly,that is still a burden to bear in todays America.Every day I pray for strength so that I may help you to carry that burden,make you proud of who you are,and teach you how to face the challenge of racism.More than anything else,I pray that I will be able to keep you safe.No child should have to know this,but 高二英语试卷 第 6 页 共 14 页 you will meet individuals who will not see you as human because of the color of your skin.Some of them will even be the very people who have promise to protect and serve you,and they can be police.Since 400 years ago,Black and brown people have been fighting,first for our freedom and now for equality.Our ancestors did not live to see their efforts

academicians(院士)over the weekend,as if people had lost beloved members of their own families,offers much food for thought.At 1:02 pm on May 22nd,2021,liver surgeon Wu Mengchao,99,died in Shanghai.He is known as the founder of hepatobiliary surgery(肝胆外科)in the country and was the teacher of roughly 80 percent of the nations experts and doctors specializing in liver surgery today.Wu operated on thousands of patients,and saved at least 16,000 lives.Five minutes later in Changsha,Hunan province,agricultural scientist Yuan Longping died at the age of 91.He was known as the father of hybrid rice who helped lift the nation out of hunger.With their dedication to science and commitment to the people,the two devoted their lives to saving lives and improving peoples livelihoods.Together with generations of their students,they not only made a big 高二英语试卷 第 7 页 共 14 页 difference to the lives of the Chinese people,but also many living in other developing and least-developed countries.Wu insisted that medical science is humanity while Yuans lifelong dream was always to enable the Chinese people to fill their own bowls with rice.What makes Wu and Yuan great is not only their achievements,but also their shared attachment to the people.The publics spontaneous(自发的)outpouring of grief at their deaths,which has been rare in the country for decades,shows how much their down-to-earth dedication to improving peoples lives touched hearts throughout the country.Yuan and Wu are just two representatives of the large numbers of scientific workers that have devoted their lives to their research,giving the countrys people-centered development principle with more practical meaning.The country needs more scientists to inherit and carry forward their spirit.Even those in other walks of life can draw inspiration from the two academicians commitment to their dreams,care for the people,and unconcern about material enjoyment,so as to make the best of what life grants for themselves and others.32.Which two fields do the Wu Mengchao and Yuan Longping specialize in?A.Education and agriculture.B.Medicine and social science.C.Education and social science.D.Hepatobiliary
