ALinda Evans was my best friend —like the sister I never had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, horseback riding.When I was 13, my family moved away. Linda and I kept in touch through letters, and we saw each other on special times —like my wedding and Linda’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back，sta mped “Address Unknown”. I had no idea about how to find Linda.Over the years, I missed Linda very much. I wanted to share happiness of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.One day, I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagman —Linda’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans.” I thought, but I still wrote to her.She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs. Tobin!” she said excitedly, “Linda Evans Wagman is my mother.”Minutes later I heard a voice that I recognized at once, even after 40 years. We laughed and cried and caught up on each other’s lives. Now the empty place in my heart is filled. And there’s one thing that Linda and I know for sure: We won’t lose each other again!26.

AGrandma celebrated her fifty-third birthday just weeksbefore grandpa died of cancer in 1965. Although his passingwas very difficult for her, I think their shared struggle tomake his life l onger taught grandma that good health was notto be taken forgranted, and she made up her mind to live therest of her own life as fully and as long as she could. Oneday, when she announced to attend lessons at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Portland, Oregon, where she lived, we rolled our eyes in embarrassment and helplessly wished she would just stay home and bake cookies as normal grandmothers did. Many years filled with countless dance lessons passed before we learned to appreciate the wonder of having a dancing grandma.I suppose grandma's primary motivation for wanting to learn to dance was social. She had been a shy girl, always very tall and heavy, and had married into grandpa's quiet lifestyle before developing any elegance or confidence in her personal appearance. Dancing, on the other hand, filled her life with flash lights, wonderful parties, beautiful dresses, handsome young dance instructors, and the challenge of learning. Although the weekly dance lessons did not change her ample, two-hundred-pound figure, grandma surprised everyone with energetic performances on the dance floor, which soon gave her as much elegance and confidence as any Miss American competitor.Having taken weekly dance lessons for years, my grandma learned various dances easily and was soon participating in dancing matches all over the Northwest. When I was fourteen, grandma proudly invited me to watch her compete in one of these matches to be held in the grand ballroom of the Red Lion Inn. My attitude was stillunenthusiastic at that point, but to make her happy, my mother and I attended the match. As if to prove me wrong, grandma made a wonderful showing in every event she entered. I thought she was truly the queen of the ball during the dance, and my thoughts were shared by the judges a short time later when she was awarded a gold cup for her outstanding performance.26. What did grandma le arn from grandpa's death?A. Good health was not there for everyone.B. She should take dance lessons.C. She had to struggle to live a better life.D. She should wear beautiful dresses.【答案】A【解析】细节理解题。

手惰市安逸阳光实验学校高考英语二轮九十天强化训练：阅读理解4（一）I received a call today asking if I would be willing to bring food to a family in need. The mother was having a major operation and would be lying down for several weeks. Of course, I responded with an immediate “Yes！”.As I planned the meal in my head, I reflected on how many times over the years I had been asked to prepare food. I have done so countless times with a very open heart.But the truly amazing thing is that I have received double over the course of my life. When my mother passed away, our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks. A woman from the church of our community stopped by each evening with some food. The gift of food was her small way of trying to ease our pain.Later in my life, when I was on bed rest during my pregnancy with twins, women of the church again stepped in to help. They arranged babysitting for my twoyearold daughter, and brought lovely dinners to our house. E ven when I was put in the hospital, my husband would bring cooked meals to my hospital room. How we relied on these dinners to feed my tired husband and young daughter.Food is all about comfort. It feeds our bodies, but it can also feed our souls. When you hear people talking about their favourite holidays, it usually includes their feelings connected with sharing food. I know that I will have many more opportunities in my lifetime to prepare food for others. It is truly a gift I want to prepare and deliver to someone in need.1. The author has given lots of food to others because________．A. she is poor at cookingB．she is a church memberC．she is friendly to othersD．she has received others' food2.

Looking out to the sea carefully, he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea.Two 12－year－old boys，Christian and Jack，rowed out a boat to search for a football. Once they'd rowed beyond the calm waters，a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water. The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore.But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves.“Everything went quiet in my head，” Tim recalls (回忆)．“I was trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line.”Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water. Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress.“At one point，I considered turning back，” he says.“I wondered if I was pu tting my life at risk.”After 30 minutes of struggling，he was close enough to yell to the boys，“Take down the umbrella！”Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella. Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat.He took over rowing，but the waves were almost too strong for him.“Let's aim for the pier(码头)，” Jack said.Tim turned the boat toward it.Soon afterward, waves crashed over the boat，and it began to sink.“Can you guys swim？” he cried.“A little bit，”the boys said.Once they were in the water，Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier.Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs.Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys' faces.“Are we almost there？”they asked again and again.“Yes，” Tim told them each time.After 30 minutes, they reached the pier.35．Why did the two boys go to the sea?A.

AWilliam Shakespeare was born in 1564 at Stratford-on-Avon in England. At that time Elizabeth I had been queen for six years.We do not know much about Shakespeare’s life. However, we do know that his father was a shopkeeper and that his mother was the daughter of a farmer. William went to Stratford Grammar School, where he learnt Latin, scripture and mathematics. When he left school, William worked for his father. He married Anne Hatheway when he was eighteen. Three years later he left Stratford for London.We do not know anything about Shakespeare’s life between the years of 1585~1590. We are certain, however, that by the end of 1590 he had joined a group of actors and had started writing plays. During that next twenty years he wrote thirty-two plays. He possibly wrote more plays, which he did not have them published or put on.Shakespeare went back to Stratford-on-Avon a few years before his death at the age of 52.56.

My characteristic optimism was alive only when I reminded myself that I would be doing what I had wanted to do since I was fourteen—teaching English.School started, but I felt more and more as if I were in a foreign country. Was this rural area really New Jersey? My students took a week off when hunting season began. I was told they were also frequently absent in late October to help their fathers make hay on the farms. I was a young woman from New York City, who thought that “Make hay while the sun shines” just meant to have a good time.But, still, I was teaching English. I worked hard, taking time off only to eat and sleep. And then there was my sixth－grade class—seventeen boys and five girls who were only six years younger than me. I had a problem long before I knew it. I was struggling in my work as a young idealistic teacher. I wanted to make literature come alive and to promote a love of the written word. The students wanted to throw spitballs and whisper dirty words in the back of the room.In college I had been taught that a successful educator should ignore bad behavior. So I did, confident that, as the textbook had said, the bad behavior would disappear as I gave my students positive attention. It sounds reasonable, but the text evidently ignored the fact that humans, particularly teenagers, rarely seem reasonable. By the time my boss, who was also my taskmaster, known to be the strictest, most demanding, most quick to fire inexperienced teachers, came into the classroom to observe me, the students exhibited very little good behavior to praise.My boss sat in the back of the room. The boys in the class were making animal noises, hitting each other while the girls filed their nails or read magazines. I just pretended it all wasn't happening, and went on lecturing and tried to ask some inspiring questions. My boss, sitting in the back of the room, seemed to be growing bigger and bigger. After twenty minutes he left, silently. Visions of unemployment marched before my eyes.I felt mildly victorious that I got through the rest of class without crying, but at my next free period I had to face him. I wondered if he would let me finish out the day. I walked to his office, took a deep breath, and opened the door.He was sitting in his chair, and he looked at me long and hard. I said nothing. All I could think of was that I was not an English teacher;I had been lying to myself, pretending that everything was fine.When he spoke, he said simply, without accusation, “You had nothing to say to them.”“You had nothing to say to them，” he repeated. “No wonder th ey're bored. Why not get to the meat of the literature and stop talking aboutsymbolism. Talk with them, not at them. And more important, why do you ignore their bad behavior？” We talked. He named my problems and offere d solutions. We role－played. He was the bad student, and I was the forceful, yet, warm, teacher.As the year progressed, we spent many hours discussing literature and ideas about human beings and their motivations. He helped me identify my weaknesses and my strengths. In short, he made a teacher of me by teaching me the reality of Emerson's words: “The secret to education lies in respecting the pupil.”Fifteen years later I still drive that same winding road to the same school. Thanks to the help I received that difficult first year, the school is my home now.55．It can be inferred from the story that in 1974 ________.A. the writer became an optimistic personB. the writer was very happy about her new jobC. it was rather difficult to get a job in the USAD. it was easy to get a teaching job in New Jersey56．According to the passage, which of the following is most probably the writer's problem as a new teacher?A. She had blind trust in what she learnt at college.B. She didn't ask experienced teachers for advice.C. She took too much time off to eat and sleep.D. She didn't like teaching English literature.57．What is the writer's biggest worry after her taskmaster's observation of her class?A. She might lose her teaching job.B. She might lose her students' respect.C. She couldn't teach the same class any more.D. She couldn't ignore her students' bad behavior any more.58．Which of the following gives the writer a sense of mild victory?A. Her talk about symbolism sounded convincing.B. Her students behaved a little better than usual.C. She managed to finish the class without crying.D. She was invited for a talk by her boss after class.59．The students behaved badly in the writer's classes because ________.A. they were eager to embarrass herB. she didn't really understand themC. they didn't regard her as a good teacherD. she didn't have a good command of English60．The taskmaster's attitude towards the writer after his observation of her class can be best described as ________．A. cruel but encouragingB. fierce but forgivingC. sincere and supportiveD. angry and aggressive【要点综述】这是一篇感人的文章，作者历经千辛万苦获得了一份教师的工作，但由于初为人师，教条主义和理想化成了她教学的最大问题。

AAfter an earthquake most survivors can be expected to recover over time, particularly with the support of family and friends. Some families will be able to return to their normal life quickly, while others will have to contend with the destruction of their homes, medical problems, and injury to family members. Children especially will need time to recover from the loss of a loved one or a pet or from the closing down of their schools.Children often turn to adults for information, comfort and help. Parents should try to remain calm, answer children’s questions hon estly and remain understanding when they see changes in their children’s behavior.Children react differently to an earthquake depending on their ages, developmental levels and former experiences. Some will respond by withdrawing（不与人交往）, while others will have angry outbursts（爆发）. Parents should remain sensitive to each child’s reactions. Parents should spend time talking to their children, letting them know that it’s OK to ask questions and to share their worries. Although it may be hard to find time to have these talks, parents can use regular family mealtimes or bedtimes for them. They should answer questions briefly and honestly and be sure to ask their children for their opinions and ideas. Issues may come up more than once and parents should remain patient when you answer the questions again. For young children, parents, after talking about the earthquake, might read a favorite story or have a relaxing family activity to help them calm down. Parents should also tell children they are safe and spend extra time with them. They could play games outside or read together indoors. Most importantly, be sure to tell them you love them.51.

It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jack's dare. They liked camping, but not near this swamp.“So，” Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. “How did this place get its name? ”“Are you sure you want to hear it? It's a scary story，” warned Jack.“Of course！” cried out Tom.“If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldn't have chosen this place！”“OK, but don't say I didn't warn you，” said Jack, and he began his tale.“Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built that cottage over there to live in. In those days, the area looked quite different—it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystal－clear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud of his success that he refused to l isten to advice.”“‘You are clearing too much land’，warned one old man. ‘The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it.’‘Silly fool’，said Dennis to himself. ‘If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. I'll become wealthier. He's just jealous！’”“Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants.”“What happened? ” Martin asked. It was growing colder. He trembled, twisting his body closer to the fire.“The land hit back—just as the old man warned, ” Jack shrugged. “Dennis disappeared. Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater. His body was never found.”“What a stupid story, ” laughed Tom. “Plants can't…” Before hehad finished speaking, he screamed and fainted(晕倒). The other two boys jumped up with fright, staring at Tom. Suddenly, they burst out laughing. Some green swamp ivy (常春藤) had covered Tom's face. It was a while before Tom could appreciate the joke.56．The underlined word “dare” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________．A. courageB. assistanceC. instructionD. challenge57. Why did Jack tell Tom and Martin the story?A. To frighten them.B. To satisfy their curiosity.C. To warn them of the danger of the place.D. To persuade them to camp in the swamp.58. Why did Dennis ignore the warning of the old man?A. The old man envied him.B. The old man was foolish.C. He was too busy to listen to others.D. He was greedy for more crops.59. Why did Tom scream and faint?A. He saw Dennis's shadow.B. He was scared by a plant.C. His friends played a joke on him.D. The weather became extremely cold.60. What lesson can we learn from the story of Dennis?A. Grasp all, lose all.B. No sweat, no sweet.C. It is no use crying over spilt milk.D. He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.【要点综述】本文主要讲述了三个人在沼泽地附近露营以及Dennis's Swamp名字的由来。

AChristopher Thomas, 27, was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he was always tired and was losing weight fast. Diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病), Thomas would need to inject himself with insulin(胰岛素) three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve damage, blindness and even death. And if that weren’t bad enough, he had no health insurance.After a month of feeling upset, Thomas decided he’d better find a way to fight back. He left Canton, Michigan for New York, got a job waiting tables, nicknamed himself the Diabetic Rockstar, and created , a free online community for diabetics and their loved ones —a place where over 1,100 people share personal stories, information and resources.Jason Swencki’s son, Kody, was diagnosed with diabetes at six. Father and son visit the online children’s forums(论坛) together most evenings. "Kody gets so excited, writing to kids from all over," says Swencki, one of the site’s volunteers. "They know what he’s going through, so he doesn’t feel alone."Kody is anything but alone: Diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, with 24 million diagnosed cases. And more people are being diagnosed at yo unger ages. These days, Thomas’s main focus is his charity(慈善机构), Fight It, which provides medicines and supplies to people —225 to date —who can’t afford a diabetic’s huge expenses. has raised about $23,000 —in products and in cash. In May, Thomas will hold the first annual Diabetic Rockstar Festival in the Caribbean.Even with a staff of 22 volunteers, Thomas often devotes up to 50 hours a week to his cause, while still doing his full-time job waiting tables. "Of the diabetes charities out there, most are putting money into finding a cure," says Bentley Gubar, one of Rockstar’s original members. "But Christopher is the only person I know saying people need help now."26. Which of the following is true of Christopher Thomas?A. He needs to go to the doctor every day.B. He studies the leading cause of diabetes.C. He has a positive attitude to his disease.D. He encourages diabetics by writing articles.【答案】C【解析】细节理解题。

手惰市安逸阳光实验学校高考英语二轮九十天强化训练：阅读理解50Breathe, wave and smile. Along with more than 300 other seniors, I marched into the stadium on the afternoon of May 10. The audience burst into deafening cheers. The huge stadium shook with all the whistling and clapping.It was as if a Hollywood superstar had walked on stage. And indeed, every single senior that day was a star of the moment. Each deserved it. The seniors had been preparing for four years for this once-in-a-lifetime moment—the commencement.Seated, I waited anxiously for the opening address. As a foreign exchange student, I was not able to receive a diploma. However, I still had the wonderful feeling of being part of things. Like the other graduates, I was dressed in purple cap and gown.Our principal, Mr. Glover, delivered a short, warm greeting. The US national anthem followed and then, hands on chests, a solemn Pledge of Allegiance(效忠宣誓).Students who had excelled academically gave farewell speeches. The tears in some eyes convinced me that many had deep feelings about the occasion. It was as the class motto says, “Life brings us tears, smiles and memories. The tears dry; the smiles fade; but the memories last forever.”Then came the core (核心) of the commencement. Hundreds of names were announced. Each graduate walked across the stage to receive his or her diploma from the principal. From the different cheers each graduate got, we had the funny sense that it was a kind of competition of who could cheer the loudest.To be honest, the presentation of diplomas got boring. A girl sitting next to me even started yawning. But it wasn’t boring for those receiving the diploma: they would treasure the moment the principal placed the sacred brown document in their hands for the rest of their lives.A new page in the b ook of that person’s life had turned. They were glimpsing their futures: futures of challenge, hardship, perhaps loneliness too, which would take all of their courage.62. What’s the article mainly about?A. An American graduation ceremony.B. The opening ceremony of a sports meeting.C. A presentation of college diplomas.D. A US college’s farewell party.63. According to the text, which of the following statements about the author is TRUE?A. Hollywood superstars went to attend the ceremony.B. Every single senior became a superstar at the ceremony.C.

Are you at your best as part of a small, tightly united group of dedicated workers? If so, the future may hold more for you than you think.High technology, some predicted, would make team work a thing of the past. That’s happening in those areas of business and data processing where one person and a computer can replace a team of workers.But, elsewhere, teamwork is very much alive. High technology has led to a new type of teamwork in a number of fields, including advertising, scientific research, engineering design, architecture and ocean exploration. Through computer networking, scientists, engineers and technicians at different locations---often thousands of milesapart---can work on the same project at once. They can exchange ideas, try out different designs and test their results.Examples? An engineering team can now design and try out a robot system, a new manufacturing process, or an entire factory before it is built. An architectural team can do the same with a building or a bridge. A medical team can simulate (模拟) a dangerous operation before performingit on a patient.Of course, computer–assisted team effort doesn’t end with investigation and simulation. It now usually continues into actual design, manufacturing and testing. “Computer–aided design (CAD) and computer–aided manufacture (CAM) are breaking down barriers between traditional design and manufacturing functions,” explains Dr. Prakash Rao, an engi neering manager at General Electric. “Interdisciplinary teams and engineers follow a product from concept to production. Everything is interconnected like a network.”Sometimes a computer–aided effort can extend beyond production. A team that produces robots may use them to explore space and ocean depth. For high–technology team work, the future seems limitless.66. The underlined part “hold more” most probably means to .A. maintain more chancesB. give more rightsC. make more regulationsD. store more information67. According to the passage, the writer believes that .A. teamwork requires more use of computers than that of human beingsB. teamwork will be completely replaced by computersC. the concept of teamwork is still alive and no longer the same as the pastD. high technology would make teamwork a thing of the past68 The examples given by the writer in Paragraph 4 serve .A. to prove high technology has a promising futureB. to explain his idea of new type of teamwork is reasonableC. to show that it tends to be an end to team work soonD. to indicate the computer—assisted team effort just means investigation and simulation.69. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Many fields of science and technology are now using computers effectively.B. No details are given in the passage about barriers between traditional design and manufacturing functions.C. Experts from different fields have to cooperate to develop a product from concept to production.D. High technology is nothing but a new type of teamwork plus CAD and CAM.70. The author’s att itude to towards the introduction of the computer to teamwork is of .A. objectionB. indifferenceC. supportD. doubt【文章大意】本文是议论文，本文主要讲述了在高科技时代中新的团队合作的形式。

Occasionally, foresters have problems, and the foresters in southern Indiana have had many problems.The foresters were doing an experiment. They wanted to grow walnut (胡桃) trees by planting walnuts in the ground. If they succeeded, the foresters would be able to control the location of the trees. Also, this method would be much cheaper than transplanting or moving nut trees that were grown in plant nurseries (苗圃) . So the foresters planted their walnuts, and that’s when the squirrels (松鼠) started causing trouble. Shortly after the nuts were planted, the squirrels dug them up for tasty snacks (快餐) .The foresters tried to keep the squirrels away from the walnuts. Mothballs (卫生球) were used as a warning, but they didn’t work. Then, the foresters tried dipping the walnuts in kerosene (煤油) , but that didn’t stop the squirrels either. The foresters continue to search for a method that will really work.

They were the “in” thing and it seemed every girl except me had one. On my 13th birthday, my Mum gave me a signet ring with my initials() carved into it. I was in heaven.What made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasn't being “replaced”. We'd been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everything—so most of the “new” stuff (东西) we got was really just to replace what we'd lost. But not my ring. My ring was new.Then, only one month later, I lost it. I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning. I was sad and searched everywhere for it. But it seemed to have disappeared. Eventually, I gave up and stopped looking for it. And two years later, we sold the house and moved away.Years passed, and a couple of moves later, I was visiting my parents' when Mum told me that she had something for me. It wasn't my birthday, nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other gift－giving occasion. Mum noticed my questioning look. “You'll recognize this one，” she said, smiling.Then she handed me a small ring box. I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful signet ring inside.The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations, which included replacing the carpets. When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom, they found the ring. As it had my initials carved into it, they realized who owned the ring.

2014届高考英语二轮九十天强化训练：阅读理解9Both warm-blooded and cold-blooded desert animals have ways to escape the desert heat. Warm-blooded desert animals, such as rats and mice, rest during the day, often staying in cool underground burrows. At night they search for food. Animals that are out during the day, such as cold-blooded lizards and snakes, are active only for short periods. As their body tem- perature rises, these reptiles move into the shade in order to cool down. In the early evening, when the sun grows weaker, the reptiles become more active and begin their search for food again.Getting enough water to survive is a major problem for all desert animals. Some desert animals, like desert birds, manage to find water holes. Other desert animals, such as the kangaroo rat and the related jerboa, get water only from the food that they eat. Because these animals eat mainly dry seeds, they must survive on a tiny amount of water.Most deserts have only a small number of frogs and toads because these animals must be near water to survive. Yet even these creatures have adapted (适应) to desert conditions. When small amounts of water collect in temporary streams, the desert-living frogs and toads become active. After a rainfall, they lay their eggs. The eggs grow into tadpoles in a few days and into adults in just four weeks, when the puddles (7](t7i;) dry up, the adult frogs or toads dig into the ground. Their metabolism (新陈代谢) slows, and they stay beneath the ground until the next rain, which may be as good as a year away. Until then, their bodily activities continue at a reduced rate.The camel--often called the ship of the desert--is one of the most successful desert animals. Camels can go for long pe- riods without water, but eventually they must drink. When water becomes available to them after a long drought, they may drink 95 liters of water or more. When water is not available, what helps camels survive the desert heat is the fat stored in their humps (驼峰). A camel's hump contains about 12 kilograms of fat. Fat is rich in hydrogen. As the fat is digested, hydrogen from the fat combines with oxygen in the air that the camel breathes. The resultis H20, or water. Each kilogram of fat that a camel digests produces about a liter of water.1. Desert animals are usually more active at night because .A. it is cooler at nightB. it is easier to find waterC. they like the darkD. they are less likely to be attacked at night答案：A指导：文章的首句：“Bothwarm-bloodedandcold-blooded desert animals have ways to escape the desert heat．”A项与此信息吻合。

手惰市安逸阳光实验学校高考英语二轮九十天强化训练：阅读理解43阅读理解-----B篇About twenty years ago I had the pleasure of teaching a disabled young woman. Not only was she good at math and science, but she was also extremely talented in art. She could draw and paint beautifully. When Audrey graduated from university she got two degrees, one in fine arts and one in chemistry. Not too many people do well in two such different areas of study.Just before her high school graduation, Audrey gave me a wonderful gift. It was a watercolor painting of a mother and her baby. A tear fell from the mother’s eye as she looked lovingly at her child. Beneath the painting Audrey had written these words: “The deep love from Mother, through me, touches another.” What a beautiful gift! I had the piec e of art framed(给…做框) and hung in my office.Years passed with many moves from one office to another and I lost the painting. Last year, after about eight years of not knowing where it was, I received a phone from a former colleague who said she had something of mine. It was the picture Audrey had painted for me 18 years ealier. When cleaning out a storage room she had discovered my gift.I was struck that the precious gift came back. I knew Audrey very well. When she was four years old Audrey had a serious disease. What’ s worse, her father left the house. It was her mother who brought her up with much trouble. She survived the disease but was disabled.To any other it is just a painting, but to me it shows how a mother’s love has helped develop a talent and how its power pushes me ahead.51.

AMr. Patrick was new to the school and to us. Even though he was a great teacher, he seemed rather like a character out of a horror movie. He didn’t look that bad, but somehow, he looked extremely scary to me.Some kids began to believe that he was a murderer or a ghos t; some believed he was mad and a few believed that he might have suffered a lot in his life. I was one of those ‘few’.One day I gathered up my courage and headed towards the school garden. He was, as usual, sitting on a bench alone. I breathed heavily a few times and then walked towards him.“How are you?” I asked with my voice crackling.He managed to say, “Fine.”“Well, good to know,” I tried to be happy.“Hmmm…” was all I heard.“What’s up with you?” then seeing a puzzled look on his face, I tried to be more formal and respectful. “I mean, why aren’t you like all other people in the school? Why are you always so quiet and sad? Why…”“No dear, some things are better left unsaid,” he said gloomily.“Oh no sir, nothing is better left unsaid. If you want to share your feelings with me and reduce the pain of your heart, you are free to do so. I promise I will never ever tell anyone.”“With you? You are just a little girl; what will you understand?”I was somehow offended but still I managed to persuade him, “So what, Sir? You see, if you tell me your problem, you will have a light heart and you will have the feeling that someone somewhere cares about you.”“Oh okay, that was a very nice belief indeed; let’s take a walk and I will letyou know everything.”Soon after our little talk, there was a visible change on his face. Later that day in the class, there was a smile on his face.56.

手惰市安逸阳光实验学校高考英语二轮九十天强化训练：阅读理解15Today’s children are the “result” of the modern society. Our parents have jobs that keep them busy almost all day long. They only have a free day in a week. This doesn’t allow them to keep an eye on their children. On the other hand, the modern society gives more freedom to the children than they could “handle”. As a child, you don’t know how to grow up by yourself until you reach a certain age. That is why you need school and parents to be by your side all the time. If y ou don’t have either of them you may make a lot of mistakes. The social system of the modern society is very lenient especially with the children.Most of the children today are rebels (判逆者). They are rude. They are given too much freedom by their famili es. This is their parent’s mistake. They ought to know that the freedom they give to their children is misunderstood.For example it is a bad thing for a 17 – year – old child to go out in the evening on weekends. Parents are also guilty of the way their children show up in the street or at school. The same guilt belongs to the teaching system as well. Pupils shouldn’t be allowed to dress like they were on a fashion presentation at school.Another important fact we can think of regarding the freedom of children is their free will of spending money. Parents shouldn’t allow their children to spend money on whatever they want.I think children are given too much freedom not only by their parents, but also by the society. The latter is more to be blamed!64．The writer implies that parents’ busy lifestyle . A．makes their children become independentB．may lead to a tense parent – child relationshipC．is harmful to their children’s healthD．is likely to create a troubled generation65．What does the underlin ed word “lenient” (in Para 2) mean?A．Not responsible B．Not strict. C．Unkind. D．Unfair. 66．It seems that the writer agrees that students .A．should stay at home on weekendsB．can wear trendy clothes at schoolC．had better wear school uniform at schoolD．can be allowed to go out in the evenings67．According to the writer, which of the following takes the primary responsibility for children’s problems?A．The social environment.

As she was looking, a little boy came to the Pokemon toys. He was dressed neatly, but his clothes were obviously old. He was with his father as well, and kept picking up the Pokemon video toys. Each time he picked one up and looked at hi s father, his father shook his head and said, “No.”The little girl had chosen her Barbie. However, she stopped and was watching them. Rather dejectedly, the boy had to give up the Pokemon toys and choose something else. The little girl put her Barbie back on the shelf, and ran over to the Pokemon toys. She excitedly picked up one and raced towards the checkout. I picked up my purchases and got in line behind them. Then, much to the little girl’s delight, the little boy and his father got in line behind me. After the toy was paid for and bagged, the little girl handed it back to the cashier (收银员) and whispered something in her ear. The casher smiled and put the package under the counter.I paid for my purchases and was rearranging things when the little boy came up to the cashier. T he cashier checked his purchases and said, “Congratulations, you are my hundredth customer today, and you win a prize!” With that, she handed the little boy the Pokemon toys, and he could only stare in surprise. It was exactly what he had wanted!The little girl and her father had been standing at the doorway during all of this. Then they walked out. As I walked back to my car, I heard the father ask his daughter why she had done that. I’ll never forget what she said to him. “Daddy, didn’t Grandparents want me to buy something that would make me happy?” He said, “Of course they did, honey.” To which the little girl replied, “Well, I just did!”I feel very shocked to have witnessed the true spirit of Christmas in that toy store,in the form of a little girl who understands more about the meaning of this festival than most adults I know.56.

手惰市安逸阳光实验学校高考英语二轮九十天强化训练：阅读理解46So much to do, so little time. So much infonnation, so little time to read it. In this age there is more information than ever before. There is not enough time to read everything wewant to read. However, you can consume more information in shorter time through speed-reading. This article will not makeyou read 3,000 words per minute, but it will show you how to increase your speed significantly. You will also learn the basictechniques of speed-reading, along with the dos and don' ts of speed-reading.When you first learned to read, you would say the word out loud and sound it out. Then you might whisper the word because people can become annoyed when you read aloud. The stage you are now at is saying the word in your head. Most people tend to read this way. Saying the word in your head will cut your reading speed tremendously (极大地).How do you calculate your reading speed? The speed is measured by how many words per minute you can read. Get some reading material, preferably a book. Find out how many words are on the page. Time yourself for one minute. Start your timer and start reading. When the timer beeps, stop. If you counted 500 words on the page and you read half of the page, and then you are probably reading at 250 words per minute.The first thing about speed-reading is looking at the word and recognizing it. Don't say the word in your mind, just look at it and recognize its importance. Later you will recognize clumps of four words or more to increase your speed. This is the first and most important step in speed-reading.The next step is technique. As with any other skill, speedreading requires technique. You should first be sitting up straight with your book flat on a horizontal (水平的) surface, such as a table or desk. Next,you should be able to see the entire page. This is necessary if you want to recognize clumps of words. Lastly, you should be focused. It' s hard to read with a lot of noise. Find a quiet place to read. This will help your understanding of the text.You need something to guide your eyes while reading. That's right, you should use your hand. Remember when you were little, you would read using your finger. That is a great technique, only now you're using your hand to underline each line. Move your finger smoothly across the page. No need to go rush, start out slow. Keep your eyes focused on the words as you recognize them while using your hand as a guide. This will increase your'speed.The third step is practice. Practice makes perfect. Set time intervals (间歇). Read using different techniques, but make sure you understand what you are reading.1. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?A. Now there is limited information than ever before.B. Now conditions ask people to use less time to know more information.C. Now people can read what they like.D. The less you read, the more time you will spend.答案：B 指导：我们这个时代的信息比任何时候都多。

手惰市安逸阳光实验学校高考英语二轮九十天强化训练：阅读理解8A few years ago it was popular to speak of a penetration gap, a disagreement between young people and their elders. Parents said that children did not show them proper respect and obedience, while children complained (抱怨) that their parents did not understand them at all What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that a gap is built into the fabric (结构) of our society.One important cause of the generation gap is the chance that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In more traditional societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and agree to, and to continue the family occupation (职业). In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family home at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose occupations different from those of their parents.In our easily changing society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did; to find better jobs, to make more money; and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, however, the strong desire that parents have for their children are another cause of the disagreement between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is another cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, elderly people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date overnight. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities.No doubt, the generation gap will continue to be a feature (特点) of American life for some time to come It’s causes are rooted in the freedom and changes of our society, and in the rapid speed at which society changes.1. The main idea of the first paragraph is that________.A. the generation gap suddenly appearedB. the generation gap is a feature of modern social lifeC. people can reduce the generation gapD. many critics argue over the nature of the generation gap答案：B指导：本段最后一句。

阅读理解It is sometimes said that English is English and that there are no differences between different kinds of English, but this is not the case. American English is in general quite different from UK English. The main differences relate to the use of certain words and to spelling. American English is much more phonetic（与发音近似的）than UK English and in American English a ‘z’ or a ‘c’ is often used where an ‘s’ would be used in British English.Words can vary in different types of English as well. An “estate agent” in UK English is someone who works in “real estate” in American English. British people talk of “rubbish” while the Americans call this “garbage”. The UK people have “bins”, but the Americans have “dumpsters”.The differences between these ways of using English make translating works into English a difficult business. There are translation tools available on the Internet, but these can often translate words in a very direct way and the end result is a sentence that has lost its meaning.The best way of translating any written piece of work into the English language is to first decide what kind of English you want the piece to be translated into. For example, if it is for a British market, then use the UK English. For the best result, always use some kind of spelling and grammar checker so you can make sure that you are using the proper terms, spelling and vocabulary.64. Which of the following statements would the writer most probably agree with?A. UK English is much more phonetic than American English.B. There are differences between different kinds of English.C. American English is different from British English only in spelling.D. It’s easier to learn British English than to learn American English.65. The underlined word “vary” in Paragraph 2 means “______”.A. changeB. argueC. replaceD. compare66. It is implied in Paragraph 3 that ______.A. works translated into English will surely lose their meaningsB. we should never translate words into English in a direct wayC. translating works into English is not difficultD. online translation tools are not so useful67. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. The advantages of using a spelling and grammar checker.B. The differences between British English and American English.C. What we should do when translating something into English.D. When we should use British English or American English.参考答案-----------64—67 BADCC2[2013·山东卷] AJimmy is an automotive mechanic, but he lost his job a few months ago.

Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car，the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service.
