1、阅读下面的短文,将画线部分译成英文或中文。
You are in your last year of junior high school.(1)Have you thought about what it will be like in high school? Are you ready for a fresh start in a new environment? Some high school graduates from the United States share their tips:
Organize and plan your studies
“The biggest thing is to stay organized,” says Philip Tubiolo, a graduate from Bayport High School.(2)He says you can use either paper or online tools to help with your studies. "I would transfer (转换) paper notes online and make study guides. Everything was in one spot (场所) for finals and midterms."
Find your interests
“I knew I was more of a science kid,” says Bayport’s Tubiolo. “I took AP Biology in 10th grade and loved it.”(3)AP classes are college-level classes that high school students can take.He also joined his school’s Science Olympiad team.(4)在一次国际数学比赛中,他赢得了一等奖。He even decided on a college major, although most students don’t need to make this choice so early.
Find healthy ways to relieve stress and have fun
“It’s not just study, study, study,” says Roslyn High School student Todd Warshawsky. "I was a track (田径) runner. That was a stress reliever from study." Sachem North High School graduate Erin Maryzek agrees. “(5)我们都应该学会在学校生活中找到一些有趣的事情,” says the Northeastern University freshman.

24、 Birth order—does it matter? Are you different because you are the first, second, or third child in your family—or maybe the last of nine?
A study found that first-borns have an average (平均) IQ that is three points higher than people who fall into a different place in the birth order, perhaps because first-borns often help younger brothers and sisters, which improves their own skills. In 2007, an international organization of CEOS found that 43% of CEOS are first-borns, 33% are middle children, and 23% are last-borns. First-borns are more likely (可能) to be doctors and astronauts and get higher pay.
If first-borns are more successful, last-borns are generally more agreeable. They are also more likely to be funny, possibly to get attention from all the bigger people at the dinner table. Mark Twain and Stephen Colbert were both the youngest in large families, and Jim Carrey was the youngest of four. According to a 2007 Time magazine, article, “The Power of Birth Order,” last-borns are more likely to be artists and successful businessmen.
Then there are the middle children: we have not ignored (忽视) them! Many middle children are short of one-on-one time with their parents. They often feel short-changed: the oldest gets more rights, and the youngest is “spoiled (宠坏的)”. Though they may be ignored, middle children are more likely to grow into easygoing adults.
Many factors (因素) make us who we are, but if the research is correct, birth order may be one of the most important factors.
【1】Who is most likely to be a CEO?
A.A first-born. B.A second-born. C.A last-born.
【2】What can we learn about Jim Carrey?
A.He was likely to be given low pay.
B.He was likely to be agreeable.
C.He was likely to have more rights in a family.
【3】What does the underlined word “short-changed” in Paragraph 4 probably mean in Chinese?
A.受欢迎的 B.受控制的 C.受亏待的
【4】We can learn from the research that birth order ________.
A.has no influence on IQ B.may decide who we are C.is a factor in making us powerful
【5】What would be the best title for the text?
A.Where Is Your Place in the Family?
B.What Makes You Successful in Life?
C.How Can You Grow into Big Man?
25、Three students are talking about the New Year tradition of their own country.
A.Christina from Spain
On the last day of the year, the 31st of December, people wait till 12 p.m. Everybody must have 12 grapes to eat at midnight. At each sound of the clock, we must eat a grape.

One year, when there were a lot of grapes, the king of Spain decided to give grapes to everybody to eat on New Year's Eve.
B.Cordon from Britain
On New Year's Day in Britain, people have parties. At 12 o'clock, the music stops, and we listen to the radio. On the radio we hear Big Ben, the famous clock in London. Then everybody sings a song about friendship and kisses their friends. We say “Happy New Year” to each other. It's lucky if a tall man with dark hair is the first person to come to the house in the New Year. So I go and visit as many friends as I can. They all give me a drink.
