1 . 假设你是红星中学的李华，你的美国笔友Jim将来京学习。请根据他的邮件给他回信。
Dear Li Hua,

How is everything going?

I’m writing to tell you that I have joined in an exchange program. I’m leaving for Beijing next month and am going to study in Beijing for a year.

Although I have dreamed about it for a long time, I feel a little bit anxious now. You know my Chinese is not good enough for me to communicate with others. What is more, most Chinese traditional culture is still new to me. Both the problems make me feel worried about fitting in the new environment.

What can I do to deal with the problems? Could you give me any suggestions? Looking forward to your early reply!

Yours,

Jim

7 . 阅读下面短文并回答问题。

Can you speak more than one language? Being able to communicate with people in another language is a great way to make friends and feel more confident.

Language is the way we communicate with each other. It includes speaking, writing and using hand and face movements, known as sign language. Unlike countries, languages have no borders (边界) and can connect people around the world.

Speaking another language helps you talk to people you may, not understand, and makes you feel more connected to them. A girl from Hungary, Havana, who is aged 12, says speaking Hungarian as well as English means she can talk to her friends from England. This makes her feel closer to her British friends because they’re able to share their interests. Learning another language can also help you gain confidence—for example, by being able to chat to local people when you travel. Studies show that being able to speak two languages also exercises the brain and makes you better at concentrating on more than one thing at a time.

Alex Rawlings is a language teacher and writer who speaks more than 15 languages. He finds it’s easier to learn words that he can see or hear, rather than from a list. “For example, the words of a song are more memorable because they rhyme (押韵) and are sung,” he says. It’s also important to understand why you learn a language. Rawlings recommends writing down reasons why you want to learn the language and keep reminding yourself of them. “I’ve met lots of friends through my languages,” says Rawlings. “The more you learn, the easier it gets.”

8 . Math anxiety is a feeling of worry or fear people have when they have to do a math task. Kids can feel anxious about math without it becoming a problem. A little stress about a math problem can even help kids be more productive.     1     It can even cause kids to lose interest in school. This fear of math is very common. Researchers believe about 3 to 5 percent of kids experience math anxiety.

    2     They may worry they’ll do poorly on a math test, even though they understand the material and have studied hard. They try to avoid going to math class when there’s a quiz or a test. Some of them get good grades on math homework, but not on tests.

We don’t know exactly what causes math anxiety.     3     We can’t prove that tests cause math anxiety, either. Math anxiety runs in families, so genetics may play a role. Repeated bad experiences with math could, too. Having underlying (潜在的) trouble with math can also lead to math anxiety.

Understanding basic math concepts (概念) can help reduce math anxiety. But it’s just as important for kids to believe in their ability to do basic math.     4     What you don’t want to do is completely remove math from a child who’s feeling math anxiety. That’s not helpful. Some stress can be good. The goal is for kids to feel the right level of challenge. Parents and teachers should work together to help kids with math anxiety.

A．This helps them feel less self-doubt.

B．What are signs of math anxiety in kids?

C．But math anxiety is different and more serious.

D．Due to their lack of confidence, doing well on a math test is impossible.

E．We do know that having just one bad experience with math doesn’t cause it.

9 . Everywhere I look, there are new buildings being built. The neighbourhoods that I knew as a boy, filled with beautiful old buildings, have mostly disappeared, and in their place, modern, high-rise buildings have appeared. If we continue in this way, nothing will remain of our heritage; soon I will no longer recognize my city. What is left of the city’s traditional buildings and neighbourhoods must be preserved and it is important to begin this process now.

Historic preservation has become popular all over the world in recent years, but many countries have chosen new construction over preservation. There is good reason for this. As the population has become larger, people want the usefulness of modern living. However, the built environment should be more than shiny new buildings with air conditioning and washing machines; it should also show the beauty of our culture and heritage. How can our children understand our culture if we erase so much of the physical evidence (物证) of it?

The reasons for preserving historic buildings are not simply about an emotional connection to the past. There are also good economic reasons in favour of preservation. The repair and preservation of historic sites can become an economic engine, drawing tourists and small businesses to the area. There are several good examples of this in the Middle East. In Dubai, the historic AI Bastikiya district draws thousands of tourists every year from all over the world. It also attracts local people, eager to learn about their city’s past.

Those who are against historic preservation think that it is too expensive. But many recent projects all over the world have told us that this is not necessarily the case. In fact, renovation (翻新) of an existing building can cost about $40 per square metre less than even the most basic new building, while preserving the beauty of the original building. What is more, environmental experts believe that the greenest building is the one that is already built. New building almost always has a more serious environmental influence because it requires the use of all-new materials that must be transported, often over long distances, instead of recycled materials that are already on site. We recycle so many other things. We can and should recycle buildings, too.
