Life in a Chinese School

The school

My name is Daniel. I am in Grade 8. This is my second year at middle school. When we are in Grade 9, we have to take an exam to continue our studies. We go to school five days a week and have seven lessons every day. We study Chinese, Maths and English. We also have other subjects like Geography, History and Computer Studies. I like Maths best among all the subjects.

Activities

We have different clubs after school. Some clubs are for fun, such as the Guitar Club, the Chess Club and the Basketball Club. Some Clubs are for study, such as the Maths Club, the Physics Club and the Geography Club. I am a member of the English Singing Club. It is fun to sing English songs. We sometimes practise English in the English Corner. I have improved my spoken English a lot. On Wednesday and Thursday, we go to the library and borrow some books and magazines. Time seems to travel faster when we do the reading.

Big brothers and sisters

Boys and girls have lessons together at our school. There are more than 1,800 students here. Many new students need help to learn more about the new school. They may have problems with their new school life. When they have problems, they sometimes don’t want to tell the teachers. They may feel better if they can talk to the older students. At our school, the older students can join the Helping Hands Club. These big brothers and sisters talk to the new students and try to help them to work out their problems.

In China, everybody thinks it is very important to go to school. We are happy to be at school. And I should say our school is the best!

【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文里Daniel介绍了学校的一些情况：Daniel上完九年级时，他必须参加考试来继续他的学业；Daniel每天上7节课；体育是Daniel最喜欢的学科；Daniel认为在英语俱乐部学英语是有意思的。

1.句意：在九年级的时候，我们必须参加考试来继续我们的学业。根据短文中的句子“When we are in Grade 9, we have to take an exam to continue our studies.”此处缺少序数词，故答案为ninth。

2.句意：我们有不同的课外俱乐部。根据短文中的句子“We have different clubs after school.”根据句意，此句缺少复合形容词作定语。答案为after-school。

3.句意：我们在超过1800名学生的混合学校里学习。根据短文中的句子Boys and girls have lessons together at our school. There are more than 1,800 students here.可知，答案为mixed。

4.句意：这些大哥哥大姐姐和新的学生交谈，并试图帮助他们解决他们的问题。根据短文中的句子“These big brothers and sisters talk to the new students and try to help them to work out their problems.”help sb to do sth.=help sb. with sth.帮助某人做某事。根据句意，故答案为with。

5.句意：在中国，大家都认为上学是非常重要的。根据短文中的句子“In China, everybody thinks it is very important to go to school.”it为形式主语，后面的动词不定式是真正的主语。In China, everybody thinks ________to school is very important.这个句子是宾语从句，从句缺少主语，可以用动名词作主语。故答案为going。
