• 2．About six years ago，I started having panic attacks.I began my journey to solve them with traditional tools，all of which were a great help.Thankfully，a year later treatment was no longer needed.
     Frustratingly，about a year after that，I started to develop depression and began to have panic attacks once again.I tried what I knew best and went back to my previous tools，but I was still struggling and far from feeling well again until I got some new advice.
     I loved to sing when I was young.My childhood had been filled with creativity，yet for most of my adult life， it was overlooked.A doctor told me that mental health problems are common among the creative minds of the world when creativity is suppressed（壓制）.To regain it，I decided to get back into singing.Then I joined a group called Sound，a pop band.Much better，I found the courage to audition（試音）.I was amazed that I managed to get through such a risky situation and not have a panic attack.The audition itself was a win for me，never mind how I did.
     I have now been a member of the band for three years.I love the performance.It reminds me of who I was at school.My path back then was always "do what you love".My entire education was filled with fond memories because of that，and I was starting to build that back into my adult life.Now，I am feeling a lot better.When I panic，distraction is key and singing does help.It sends me into a state in which my body works with pure joy.More importantly，I will have exercised my creativity and never feel panic.
  
  （1）What helped the author recover from panic at first？

  
  A．New advice.
  B．Live performances.
  C．An audition.
  D．Traditional tools.
  （2）What does the underlined word "it" in the 3rd paragraph refer to？

• 3．Like fine food，good writing is something we approach with pleasure and enjoy from the first taste to the last.And good writers，like good cooks，do not suddenly appear full-blown.Quite the opposite，just as the cook has to undergo a particular training，mastering the skills of his trade，the writer must sit at his desk and devote long hours to achieving a style in his writing，whatever its purpose is - schoolwork，matters of business，or purely social communication.
     You may be sure that the more painstaking the effort，the more effective the writing，and the more rewarding.
     There are still some faraway places in the world where you might find a public scribe to do your business or social writing for you，for money.There are a few managers who are lucky enough to have the service of that rare kind of secretary who can take care of all sorts of letter writing with no more than a quick note to work from.But for most of us，if there is any writing to be done，we have to do it ourselves.
     We have to write school papers，business papers or home papers.We are constantly called on to put words to papers.It would be difficult to count the number of such words，messages，letters，and reports put into mails or delivered by hand，but the daily figures must be extremely large.What is more，everyone who writes expects，or at least hopes whatever he writes will be read，from first word to last，not just thrown into some "letters-to-be-read" files or into a wastepaper basket.This is the reason we bend our efforts toward learning and practicing the skills of interesting，effective writing.
  
  （1）In this passage，good writing is compared to fine food because

  .
  A．both are enjoyable
  B．both are hard to learn
  C．both are necessary to life
  D．both take a long time to prepare
  （2）According to the passage，some managers don't have to do any letter writing because

  .
  A．they rely on quick notes
  B．they have excellent secretaries
  C．they have a computer to do it
  D．they prefer making phone calls
  （3）According to the author，if your letter is thrown into some "letter-to-be-read" file

  .
  A．it will receive immediate attention
  B．it will be dealt with by the secretary
  C．it is likely to be neglected
  D．it is meant to be delivered soon
  （4）The purpose of the author in writing this passage is

  .
  A．to explain and persuade
  B．to comment and criticize
  C．to interest and entertain
  D．to argue and demonstrate

      My name is Adam and I'm a freshman at senior high school. Going from junior high school to senior high school is a really big challenge. The first week was a little confusing.
      Firstly I had to think very carefully about which courses I wanted to take，I turned to the school adviser for advice. He is very kind and patient He helped me choose the suitable ones： maths， English， chemistry， world history， and Chinese. I know that Chinese is a very difficult language，but I hope to have a very good command of it and be fluent when I graduate. My adviser also recommended that I should sign up for advanced literature because I like English and I'm good at it.
      Secondly， I had to choose extra-curricular activities，too. I tried to join the school football team，but the coach told me that I didn't play well enough. Obviously，I was unhappy and in low spirits， but I won't quit. I'm determined to practice more and make improvements on my own so that I can make the team next year. I joined a volunteer club instead. Every Wednesday， we work at a soup kitchen and hand out food to homeless people in the community.
  注意：1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右：2.請(qǐng)按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
  Besides， in my first math class，I found the teacher speak too fast.______
  I know I'll have to study harder as a senior high school student and try to get used to the new school life._______
