阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项(A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
When I decided to quit my job as a wedding photographer, I was in my late twenties, fresh from my divorce from Bob who had left me empty and confused. I decided to leave the US and travel. I had no savings, plus more than $5,000 in debt. What I did have were two sponsored tasks as a travel photographer- and with that along, I thought, it would be easy.My first experience was a road trip from Toronto to Las Vegas, paid for by a car delivery service. Other trips followed and then I started a travel blog (博客). It was intended to be my calling card for assignment travel photography. Yet even with my blog and past experience, email after email I sent to publications, trying to get work, went unanswered. When they did get in touch, editors told me that I had no chance of making a career with travel photography. While I struggled to get on the path that I wanted, and as I expanded my blog to help get me there, I found myself wearing the hat of a full-time blogger.Luckily, I got in at the right time. It was 2010，and the travel industry was just starting to turn its attention to bloggers. As I never could have predicted, my blogging-not my photography-did take me around the world successfully. At first，I thought it was for personal reasons, but I realized later that it was for free marketing for my blogging.Within two years, I was being asked to speak at travel blogging conferences, which helped me to raise a network of friends around the world. Even more meaningful, however, was when I saw that my travels were also helping other people. My blog and social media followers saw that I chased my dreams and told me over and over again how they needed that kind of example, which was absent in their lives elsewhere.51 After the author quit her job, she decided to ______.A. divorce her husbandB. be a wedding photographerC. pay off all her debtD. go travelling abroad2. What can we learn about the author from the 2nd paragraph?A. She paid money to a car delivery agency for a road trip.B. She realised his dream of becoming a travel photographer.C. She got a job as an editor in a publishing house.D. She finally became a professional blogger unintentionally.3. The author believed her success mainly resulted from ______.A. her personal reasonsB. her photographing skillsC. free marketing for bloggingD. booming of travel industry4. What did the author think of her two years' work?A. Inspiring.B. Appealing.C. Interesting.D. Challenging.【参考答案】1—4、DDCA【2014高考英语广东省中山市华侨中学二模试题】CDoes Fame Drive You Crazy?Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today’s star s, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world’s attention. Pap arazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature. According to psychologist Christina Villareal, celebrities -- famous people -- worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villareal says, “they feel separated and alone.”The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain (抱怨) about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always theInternet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.36. It can be learned from the passage that stars today__________.A. can no longer have their privacy protectedB. are often misunderstood by the publicC. spend too much on their public appearanceD. care little about how they have come into fame37. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. Great heroes of the past were generally admired.B. The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.C. Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.D. Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.38. What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?A. Availability of modern media.B. Inadequate social recognition.C. Lack of favorable chances.D. Huge population of fans.39. The reasons why there are still so many celebrities might not be ________.A. that a few stars stay calm with their familyB. that some stars just avoid public appearanceC. that everyone in society runs after fameD. that they fix their attention on what they do40. What is the author’s attitude toward modern celebrity?A. Sincere.B. Sceptical.C. Disapproving.D. Sympathetic.【参考答案】36-40. ABACD【2014高考英语马鞍山市质量检测】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
2016年天津高考英语真题及答案word版
2016年天津高考英语真题及答案word版CWhen John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence (能力) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society,” said George Vaillant, the psychologist (心理学家) who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.”Vaillant’s study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social andeconomic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out. Working----at any age----is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence---the underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Y et work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.”46. What do we know about John?A. He enjoyed his career and marriage.B. He had few childhood playmates.C. He received little love from his family.D. He was envied by others in his childhood.47. Vaillant’s words in Paragraph 2 serve as _____.A. a description of personal values and social valuesB. an analysis of how work was related to competenceC. an example for parents’ expectations of their childrenD. an explanation why some boys grew into happy men48. Vaillant’s team obtained their findings by _____.A. recording the boys’ effort in schoolB. evaluating the men’s mental healthC. comparing different sets of scoresD. measuring the men’s problem solving ability49. What does the underlined word “sharp” probably mean in Paragraph 4?A. Quick to reactB. Having a thin edgeC. Clear and definiteD. sudden and rapid50. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. competent adults know more about love than work.B. Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life.C. Love brings more joy to people than work does.D. Independence is the key to one’s succe ss.。

This sometimes means that there is an allocation of funds available for the purpose of mounting the production, though unfortunately this will usually be found to be on the meager side and much ingenuity will have to be used to stretch it so that all performers can be adequately clothed.Most pageants have a historical flavour as they usually come about through the celebration of the anniversary of some event of historic importance, or the life or death of some local worthy. Research among archives and books in the public library will probably prove very useful and produce some workable ideas which will give the production an especially local flavour. From the first economy will have to be practiced because there are usually a great number of people to dress. Leading characters can be considered individually in the same way as when designing for a play; but the main body of the performers will need to be planned in groups and the massed effect must be always borne in mind.Many pageants take place in daylight in the open air. This is an entirely different problem from designing costumes which are going to be looked at under artificial lighting; for one thing, scenes viewed in the daylight are subject to many more distractions. No longer is everything around cutout by the surrounding darkness, but instead it is very easy to be aware of disturbing movement in the audience of behind the performers. Very theatrically conceived clothes do not always look their best when seen in a daylight setting of trees, verdant lawns and old ivy-covered walls; the same goes for costumes being worn in front of the mellow colors of stately homes. The location needs to be studied and then a decision can be made as to what kinds of colors and textures will harmonize best with the surroundings and conditions and then to carry this out as far as possible on the funds available.If money is available to dress the performers without recourse to their own help in the provision of items, it is best to arrange for all the cutting and pinning together of the costumes to be done by one or two experienced people than to be given out to the groups and individuals for completion. When there is little or no money at all, the garments need to be reduced to the basic necessities. Cloaks and shawls become invaluable, sheets and large bath towels and bath sheets are admirable for draping. Unwanted curtains and bed spreads can be cut to make tunics, robes and skirts. These are particularly valuable if they are of heavy fabrics such as velvet or chenille.Colors should be massed together so that there are contrasting groups of dark and light, this will be found to help the visual result substantially. Crowds of people gathered together in a jumble of colors will be ground to look quite purposeless and will lack dramatic impact.The use of numbers of identical head-dresses, however simply made, are always effective when working with groups. If these are made of cardboard and painted boldly the cost can be almost negligible. Helmets, hats and plumes will all make quite a show even if the costumes are only blandest or sheets cleverly draped. The same can be said of the use of banners, shields and poles with stiff pennants and garlands—anything which will help to have a unifying effect. Any kind of eye-catching device will always go with a flourish and add excitement to the scenes.1. The main idea of this passage is[A]. Pageants. . Costumes on the stage.[C]. Costumes for pageants. [D]. How to arrange a pageant.2. It can be inferred that the most important factor in costume design is[A]. money. . color. [C]. harmony [D]. texture3. Why will much ingenuity have to be required in costume design?[A]. Because pageants take place in daylight in the open air.. Because different characters require different costumes.[C]. Because the colors and textures must be in harmony with the setting.[D]. Because an allocation of the funds available is usually rather small.4. Why do most pageants have a historical flavour?[A]. Because most pageants take place for celebration.. Many pageants take place for amusement.[C]. A lot of pageants take place for religion.[D]. Because pageants usually take place for competition.Vocabulary1. conceive 设想，想象to be conceived 设想好的，构思好的2. under the auspices of 在……的主办下3. meager 贫乏的，不足的4. mount 登上，制作，上演5. flavour 风味，风格，情趣6. archive(s) 档案（馆）7. distraction 使人分心的事8. ivy 常春藤9. mellow 柔和的10. recourse (to) 依赖，求助于11. drape 覆盖，披上12. invaluable 无价的，非常贵重的13. tunic （古时）长达膝盖的外衣，穿在盔甲上的战袍14. chenille 绳绒绒（织品）15. jumble 混乱，搞乱16. pennant 细长三角旗17. garland 花环，花冠难句译注1.

高中英语真题-2016高考英语阅读理解及书面表达练习(4)_1
高中英语真题:2016高考英语阅读理解及书面表达练习（4）基础写作1---2题型探究探究点一难句的表达下面我们来谈论一下基础写作的解题方法。
基础写作的难点是难句的表达。
每一道题目的中文内容都有一些与英文表达稍有差异甚至大相径庭的表达形式。
【举例说明】假设你是李华，请根据你校美化校园的规划，用英语给你在美国的笔友Peter写一封信，介绍该规划。
信的主要内容如下：【写作要求】1．应包含所给出的全部信息，开头和结尾已经给出，但不计入总句数；2．必须使用5个句子组成连贯的短文。
Dear Peter，I would like to tell you that our school has worked out a new p rogram..Welcome to our school if you have any chance.Yours，Li Hua【学生样本】Dear Peter，I would like to tell you that our school has worked out a new p rogram.①In order to make our school beautiful and clean the air, we plan to have more trees in our school now.②In order t o get good places to study and live, we have many plans.③Fi rst, we plan to build a botanical garden and let students visit a nd use.④Second, we plan to build up a small garden for peop le to rest and study.⑤At last, we plan to build some statues of famous people to effect students and teachers.Welcome to our school if you have any chance.Yours，Li Hua【评论点拨】我们来看看学生的样本有什么地方可以改进：第①句：“In order to make our school beautiful and clean the air ”比较生硬， to make our school beautiful应该改为to make our school more beautiful；“we plan to have more trees in our school now”中的have改为plant会好些。

on"踏上，登上．根据句意，最后她"说出了自己的意见"，故选A．【点评】本题考查的是动词短语的辨析，要求学生熟悉短语的意思并结合具体的语境选择出正确的选项．9．（1分）We will put off the picnic in the park until next week，____ the weather may be better．（ ）A．that B．where C．which D．when【考点】7A：关系副词．【分析】我们将推迟野餐到下周，那时候天气可能会好点儿．【解答】答案D本题考查非限制性定语从句．从句缺少时间状语，即next week．因而关系副词应该用when．故选：D．【点评】考生需了解非限制性定语从句中when的使用，在非限制性定语从句中，主句中先行词为时间，从句中缺少的是时间状语，则要用when引导．10．（1分）The weather forecast says it will be cloudy with a slight _____ of rain later tonight．（ ）A．effect B．sense C．change D．chance【考点】35：名词的词义辨析．【分析】天气预报说今天会是多云并且后半夜可能有雨．【解答】答案D．A．影响；B．感觉；C．改变；D．机会，可能性．a slight chance of…表示有…的可能性/机会，符合句意，故选项为D．【点评】本题考查常见的名词短语．考生在平时要多积累名词短语．11．（1分）The manager put forward a suggestion ____ we should have an assistant．There is too much work to do．（ ）A．whether B．that C．which D．what【考点】HE：同位语从句．【分析】经理提出了一个建议﹣﹣﹣我们需要一个助理．（因为）我们有太多的工作要做了．【解答】答案B．引导同位语从句的连词有that，whether，连接副词how，when，where等．（注：if，which 不能引导同位语从句．）因此可以先排除C．D项what we should have an assistant不合语法，也可以排除．A项whether we should have an assistant 与句意不符合．可排除A．故选B．第一个句子结构完整，宾语为a suggestion，后面的内容是作为suggestion的补充说明﹣﹣we should have an assistant（我们需要一个助理）．此处需用that连接，that不作任何成分，只起到连接的作用，同位语前面补充说明的内容可以和that同位语从句的内容划等号，因此这里的suggestion就是we should have an assistant．【点评】本题考查了同位语从句中that的使用．一般情况下同位语从句跟在某些名词（如news，idea，fact，promise，hope，message等）的后面，用以说明该名词所表达的具体内容．在suggestion，advice，request，order等意为"建议；命令；要求"的名词后，同位语从句中的谓语动词通常用"should+动词原形"的虚拟语气结构，句中的should 可以省略．12．（1分）I'm going to _____ advantage of this tour to explore the history of the castle．（ ）A．put B．make C．take D．give【考点】AE：动词的辨析．【分析】我将利用这段旅程来探索这个城堡的历史．【解答】答案C．结合句意可知，这里要表达的是"利用"，跟advantage相关的"利用"的短语为take advantage of sth．因此答案为C．【点评】考生平时需注意常用短语的积累．13．（1分）You are waiting at a wrong place．It is at the hotel ____ the coach picks up tourists．（ ）A．who B．which C．where D．that【考点】GC：强调句．【分析】你等车的地点错了．大客车是在旅店接送游客的．【解答】答案：D．本句如果将句首的It is去掉，则仍然构成了一个完整结构的句子：at the hotel the coach picks up tourists；所以该句为强调句，其结构是：It is/was+强调部分+that+其余部分，如果强调部分是人，也可以用who，这句话强调的是地点状语at the hotel．故选：D．【点评】结合近几年有关高考题的特点，将其变化形式归纳如下：强调句型的一般疑问句形式．一．句式特征：Is/Was it+被强调部分+that…；二、结合特殊疑问词构成特殊疑问句形式．句式特征：特殊疑问词+is/was it that…？三、强调句型的反意疑问句形式．句式特征为：It is/was+被强调部分+that…，isn't/wasn't it？四、强调句型的感叹句形式．句式特征为：what/how …it is（that）+主语+谓语！14．（1分）I hate it when she calls me at work﹣I'm always too busy to _____ a conversation with her．（ ）A．carry on B．break into C．turn down D．cut off【考点】A9：动词短语．【分析】句意：我讨厌她在上班时给我电话﹣﹣我总是太忙了没时间和她进行交谈．【解答】答案A．本题考查动词短语的辨析"carry on"继续，参与，进行"；"break into"强行闯入，成功打入（某行业或领域）；"turn down"声音调小，拒绝"；"cut off"切断，中短．根据句意是，我太忙了，没有时间和她进行交谈．这里"carry on a conversation with"与…进行会话．故选A．【点评】本题考查的是动词短语，要熟悉选项中短语的意思，并结合具体的语境选择出正确选项．15．（1分）I was wearing a seatbelt．If I hadn't been wearing one，I ____．（ ）A．were injuredB．would be injuredC．had been injuredD．would have been injured【考点】F2：现在完成时的被动语态；GJ：虚拟语气．【分析】当时我正系着安全带，如果我没系的话，我就会受伤了．【解答】答案：D该句"I was wearing a seatbelt．"使用了过去进行时，表示过去的事实状况，意为：当时我正系着安全带；if从句中使用了过去完成时，表达了与过去事实相反的情况，即"如果我没系上安全带的话"；通过以上分析可知：本句是虚拟条件句，由于从句使用了过去完成时，那么主句就应该使用would have done的形式，这里injured是形容词；故选D【点评】本题考查了虚拟语气在if条件句中的使用．首先应该正确识别出该句需要使用虚拟语气；其次需要牢固掌握在虚拟条件句中，关于时态的用法及要求；例如本题就考到了当if从句表达的是与过去事实相反的情况时，从句使用过去完成时，主句要用would/should/might/could+have+done的形式．第二节：完形填空（共1小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从16-35各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选春最佳选项．16．（30分）The

be somewhat of a clone，not in features but in footsteps．As he grows you also age，and your ambitions become more unachievable．You begin to realize that your boy，in your footsteps，could probably accomplish what you hoped for．But footsteps can be muddied and they can go off in different directions．My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten．Science projects waited until the last moment．Book reports weren't written until the final threat．I've been a newspaperman all my adult life．My daughter is a university graduate working toward her master's degree in English．But Jody？When he entered the tenth grade he became a"vo﹣tech"student（技校学生）．They're called"motorheads"by the rest of the student body．When a secretary in my office first called him"motorhead"，I was shocked．"Hey，he's a good kid，"I wanted to say．"And smart，really．"I learned later that motorheads are，indeed，different．They usually have dirty hands andwear dirty work clothes．And they don't often make school honor rolls（光荣榜）．But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education．We who labor in clean shirts in offices don't have the abilities that motorheads have．I began to learn this whenI had my car crashed．The cost to repair it was estimated at $800．"Hey，I can fix it，"saidJody．I doubted it，but let him go ahead，for I had nothing to lose．My son，with other motorheads，fixed the car．They got parts（零件）from a junkyard，non﹣toasting toaster have been fixed．Neighbours and co﹣workers trust their car repair to him．Since that first repair job，a broken air﹣conditioner，a non﹣functioning washer and a non ﹣toasting toaster have been fixed．Neighbors and co﹣workers trust their car repairs to him．These kids are happiest when doing repairs．They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world．And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes．I have learned a lot from my motorhead：publishers need printers，engineers needmechanics，and architects need builders．Most important，I have learned that fathers don't need clones in footsteps or anywhere else．My son may never make the school honor roll．But he made mine．41．What used to be the author's hope for his son？ D A．To avoid becoming his clone．B．To resemble him in appearance．C．To develop in a different direction．D．To reach the author's unachieved goals．42．What can we learn about the author's children？ A A．His daughter does better in school．B．His daughter has got a master's degree．C．His son tried hard to finish homework．D．His son couldn't write his book reports．43．The author let his son repair the car

path．B．It is important for one to make the honor roll．C．Architects play a more important role than builders．D．Motorheads have greater ability than office workers．【考点】O5：科教类阅读；P2：文中细节；P6：作者情感态度．【分析】本文先讲述了一种社会现象﹣﹣父母希望孩子成为自己的"克隆"，希望孩子能继续"接力"自己年轻时的任务．随后作者通过记叙自己在校表现并不优异的儿子的帮自己修好了车的事例来表达观点﹣﹣出版社需要打字员，工程需要技工，建筑行业需要建造者，每个人都有自己的价值，只要用在合适的地方．作者为自己的儿子感到骄傲，虽然他从未上过学校的光荣榜．【解答】41﹣﹣45DACBA41．D 推理判断题．本题需理解作者一开始对儿子的寄望是什么．由第一段的第一句话可以推断出来Every man wants his son to be somewhat of a clone，not in features but in footsteps．（每个人都希望他的儿子成为自己某方面的克隆，不是外表的克隆，而是在"传承"上的克隆．）可见，作者也是其中之一．因此答案为D．42．A 细节理解题．解答此题的关键词在于the author's children，因此需要在文中找出有关作者孩子的信息．由第三段My daughter is a university graduate working toward her master's degree in English．But Jody？When he entered the tenth grade he became a"vo﹣tech"student（技校学生）．They're called"motorheads"by the rest of the student body．可以找到，作者的女儿是大学生，正准备攻读英语类的研究生．而儿子却被其他学生叫做"motorhead"．可见，女儿的在校表现比儿子要好．因此答案为A．43．C 细节理解题．在第五段可以找到答案．I doubted it，but let him go ahead，for I had nothing to lose．可知，我让儿子修车的原因是﹣﹣我并没有什么损失．因此答案为C．44．B 深层理解题．本题需要判断作者情感态度．由倒数第二段可以找到信息，These kids are happiest when doing repairs．They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world．And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes．可知，答案为B．45．A 深层理解题．本题需猜测作者情感态度．由最后一段可知作者想要表达的全文的中心思想．publishers need printers，engineers need mechanics，and architects need builders．Most important，I have learned that fathers don't need clones in footsteps or anywhere else．My son may never make the school honor roll．But he made mine．作者对社会上的普遍观点是持否定态度的﹣﹣希望自己孩子"继承"自己的志愿是不明智的．因此答案为A．【点评】考生需在文中着重抓住细节信息．在综合细节的基础上进行判断，在文中找到信息．19．（12.5分）When John was growing up，other kids felt sorry for him．His parents always had him weeding the garden，carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers．But whenJohn reached adulthood，he was better off than his childhood playmates．He had more job satisfaction，a better marriage and was healthier．Most of all，he was happier．Far happier．These are the findings of a 40﹣year study that followed the lives of 456teenage boys from Boston．The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not．"Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence （能力）and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society，"said George Vaillant，the psychologist （心理学家）who made the discovery．"And because they felt good about themselves，others felt good about them．"Vaillant's study followed these males in great detail．Interviews were repeated at ages 25，31and 47．Under Vaillant，the researchers compared the men's mental﹣health scores with their boyhood﹣activity scores with their boyhood﹣activity scores．Points were awarded for part﹣time jobs，housework，effort in school，and ability to deal with problems．The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp．Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people，five times as likely to be well paid and 16times less likely to have been unemployed．The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out．Working﹣﹣﹣﹣at any age﹣﹣﹣﹣is important．Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility，independence，confidence and competence﹣﹣﹣the underpinnings （基础）of emotional health．They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals．The most competent adults are those who know how to do this．Yet work isn't everything．As Tolstoy once said，"One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love，to work for the person one loves and to love one's work．"46．What do we know about John？ A A．He enjoyed his career and marriage．B．He had few childhood playmates．C．He received little love from his family．。

After years of regular treatment, she 17 became healthy.Two years ago, while Cathy was watching the Olympics, a dream came into her sweet little head—to be a swimmer. Last summer, she wanted to 18 our local swim team. She practiced hard and finally 19 it. The team practice, 20 ,was a rough start. She coughed and choked and could hardly 21 her first few weeks. Hearing her coughing bitterly one night, I decided to 22 her from it all. But Cathy woke me up early nextmorning, wearing her swimsuit 23 to go! I told her she shouldn’t swim after a whole night’s co ughing, but she refused to 24 and insisted she go .From that day on, Cathy kept swimming and didn’t 25 a single practice. She had a 26 intention within herself to be the best she could be. My ten—year—old was growing and changing right before my eyes, into this 27 human being with a passion and a mission. There were moments of 28 of course: often she would be the last swimmer in the race. It was difficult for Cathy to accept that she wasn’t a 29 ---ever. But that didn’t stop her from trying.Then came the final awards ceremony at the end of the year. Cathy didn’t expect any award but was still there to 30 her friends and praise their accomplishments. As the ceremony was nearing the end, I suddenly heard the head coach 31 , “The highest honor goes to Cathy!” Looking around, he continued, “Cathy has inspired us with her 32 and enthusiasm. 33 skills and talents bring great success, the most valuable asset(财富)one can hold is the heart.”It was the greatest 34 of my daughter’s life. With all she had been 35 in her ten years, this was the hour of true triumph(成功).16. A. failure B. pressure C. loss D. illness17. A. usually B. finally C. firstly D. frequently18.

Special diet.BEvery man wants his son to be somewhat of a clone, not in features but in footsteps. As he grows you also age, and your ambitions become more unachievable. You begin to realize that your boy, in your footsteps, could probably accomplish what you hoped for. But footsteps can be muddied and they can go off in different directions.My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten. Science projects waited until the last moment. Book reports weren’t written until the final threat.I’ve been a newspaperman all my adult life. My daughter is a university graduate working toward her master’s degree in English. But Jody? When he entered the tenth grade he became a “vo-tech” student(技校学生). They’re called “motorheads” by the rest of the student body.When a secretary in my office first called him “motorhead”, I was shocked. “Hey, he’s a good kid,” I wanted to say. “And smart, really.”I learned later that motorheads are, indeed, different. They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes. And they don’t often make school honor rolls(光荣榜).But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education. We who labor in clean shirts in offices don’t have the abilities that motorheads hav e. I began to learn this when I had my car crashed. The cost torepair it was estimated at $800. “Hey, I can fix it,” said Jody. I doubted it , but let him go ahead, for I had nothing to lose.My son ,with other motorheads, fixed the car. They got parts(零件) from a junkyard, and ability from vo-tech classes. The cost was $25 instead of $800.Since that first repair job, a broken air-conditioner, a non-functioning washer and a non-toasting toaster have been fixed. Neighbors and co-workers trust their car repairs to him.These kids are happiest when doing repairs. They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world. And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes.I have learned a lot from my motorhead: publishers need printers, engineers need mechanics, and architects need builders. Most important, I have learned that fathers don’t need clones in footsteps or anywhere else.My son may never make the school honor roll. But he made mine.41. What used to be the author’s hope for his son?A. To avoid becoming his clone.B. To resemble him in appearance.C. To develop in a different direction.D. To reach the author’s unachieved goals.42. What can we learn about the author’s children?A. His daughter does better in school.B. His daughter has got a master’s degree.C. His son tried hard to finish homework.D. His son couldn’t write his book reports.43. The author let his son repair the car because he believed that_______.A. His son had the ability to fix it.B. it would save him much time.C. it wouldn’t cause him any more lossD. other motorheads would come to help.44. In the author’s eyes, motorheads are _______.A. tidy and hardworkingB. cheerful and smartC. lazy but brightD. relaxed but rude45. What did the author realize in the end?A. It is unwise to expect your child to follow your path.B. It is important for one to make the honor roll.C. Architects play a more important role than builders.D. Motorheads have greater ability than office workers.CWhen John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence (能力) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society,” said George Vaillant, the psychologist (心理学家) who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.”Vaillant’s study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out.Working----at any age----is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence---the underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.”46. What do we know about John?A. He enjoyed his career and marriage.B. He had few childhood playmates.C. He received little love from his family.D. He was envied by others in his childhood.47. Vaillant’s words in Paragraph 2 serve as _____.A. a description of personal values and social valuesB. an analysis of how work was related to competenceC. an example for parents’ expectations of their childrenD. an explanation why some boys grew into happy men48. Vaillant’s team obtained their findings by _____.A. recording the boys’ effort in schoolB. evaluating the men’s mental healthC. comparing different sets of scoresD. measuring the men’s problem solving ability49. What does the underlined word “sharp” probably mean in Paragraph 4?A. Quick to reactB. Having a thin edgeC. Clear and definiteD. sudden and rapid50. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Competent adults know more about love than work.B. Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life.C. Love brings more joy to people than work does.D. Independence is the key to one’s success.DFailure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue(疲惫) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel.Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical(按字母顺序), never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day’s work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can-then let the unconscious take over.When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica (《大英百科全书》), I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable.One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relived, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind provided correct at every step. Though I worked as hard asbefore, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.Human beings, I believe must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.51. ` People with start-up fatigue are most likely to .A. delay tasksB. work hardC. seek helpD. accept failure52. What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue?A. Writing essays in strict order.B. Building up physical strength.C. Leaving out the toughest ideas.D. Dealing with the hardest task first.53. On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue?A. Before starting a difficult task.B. When all the solutions fail.C. If the job is rather boring.D. After finding a way out.54. According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us .A. ignore mental problemsB. get some nice sleepC. gain complete reliefD. find the right solution55. What could be the best title for the passage?A. Success Is Built upon FailureB. How to Handle Performance FatigueC. Getting over Fatigue: A Way to SuccessD. Fatigue: An Early Sign of Health Problems第II卷第三部分：写作第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）I’m a 34-year-old man, married, lived in a nice house, and have a successful career as an educational consultant. But my life was not always so great. I had a learning disability from an early age. I went to a special school where I got plenty of extra help. Still, I suffered the rest of my school days in public schools.My life improved remarkably when I discovered art. The art world gave me a chance to express myself without words. I went to a workshop and gradually got good at making things with clay(黏土). Here I learned my first important lesson: disabled as I was in language. I could still be smart and well express myself with clay. And my confidence came along.I got my next lesson from rock climbing. It was a fun thing but I was scared from the start. I soon noticed it wasn’t a talent thing; it was practice. So I did it more.After about five years of climbing, I found myself in Yosemite Valley on a big wall. I learned that if you fall in love with something and do it all the time, you will get better at it.Later I decided to apply my previous experience to learning how to read and write. Every day I practiced rea ding and writing, which I used to avoid as much as possible. After two hard years, I was literate.Having gone through the long process with art, rock climbing, and reading and writing, now I’ve got to a poi nt in my life where I know I am smart enough to dive into an area that is totally unknown, hard, but interesting. 56.

体裁：记叙文话题：热点关注时间：7分钟Does style really sell? How can the appearance of a product be more important than what it does? The battle between form and function rose again when James Dyson，British inventor of the Dyson vacuum(真空) cleaner that has sold in millions around the world，resigned as chairman of London's Design Museum.It is widely believed that Mr.Dyson felt that the museum put too much stress on style at the expense of serious industrial design. Mr.Dyson accused the museum of not keeping true to itself.He may be right，but these days，museums everywhere can no longer afford to be unique centers of scholarship and learning.Among competition for sponsorship，they must use exhibitions of populist culture，nice cafes and shops or，best of all，a new building by Frank Gehry to increase visitor numbers.On the one hand，some producers can be too old-fashioned and too concerned with the importance of product engineering and the functionality of their goods.On theother hand，there are those who believe that how a product looks is more important.Design is indeed a broad term，involving both function and form.Typically，in any given product area，it changes from the former to the latter.Clothing is a good example.But surely you would have to be a very shallow person to think something's appearance is more important than what it does.Today nearly all goods at any given price point do much the same job.So almost the only way producers can differentiate their products from those of their competitors is to create some sort of emotional connection with the consumer，which could be through the visual appeal of the product or its packaging，or the imagery(意象) created by advertising.And what of the Dyson vacuum cleaner? Mr.Dyson may believe that people buy these machines because of the graphs showing their superior suction，but most vacuum cleaners do a good job；the main reason people pay extra for a Dyson is that it is a vacuum cleaner with a trendy brand.With its inside workings exposed，it is a bit like a Richard Rogers building with all its pipes shown in bright colors on the outside instead of being hidden inside.Functional it maybe，but it is a bit of a trick，too.【语篇导读】英国吸尘器发明家Dyson因强烈反对设计博物馆太过注重外在的风格样式而辞职，他认为这里应该是研究学问的地方。

The world is filled with smart，talented and gifted people．We meet them every day．A few days ago，my car was not running well．I pulled it into a garage，and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes．He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine．I was amazed．The sad truth is，great talent is not enough．I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn．I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100，000 a year．A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially．It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase，“They are one skill away from great wealth．”There is an old saying that goes，“Job means ‘just over broke（破产）’”．And unfortunately，I would say that the saying applies to millions of people．Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence，most workers“ live within their means”．They work and they pay the bills．Instead I recommend young people to seek work for what they will learn，more than what they will earn．When I ask the classes I teach，“How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald’s?” almost all the students raise th eir hands．I then ask，“So if most of you can cook a better hamburger，how come McDonald’s makes more money than you?” The answer is obvious: McDonald’s is excellent at business systems．The reason why so many talented people are poor is that they focus on building a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems．The world is filled with talented poor people ．They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger．1．The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph that ．A．he is just one of the talented peopleB．he is ready to help othersC．he has a sharp sense of hearingD．he knows little about car repairing2．The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by ．A．spend more than they can affordB．do in their own wayC．live in their own circleD．live within what they earn3．Why do talented people earn so 1ittle according to the author?A．They don’t work hard enoughB．They lack financial intelligenceC．They don’t make full use of their talentsD．They have no specialized skills．4．The success of McDonald's lies in its ．A．skills at making hamburgers B．good business systemsC．talented workers D．excellent service5．The main purpose of the author is to tell us ．A．how young people can find a satisfactory jobB．what schools should teach studentsC．why so many talented people are poorD．how McDonald’s makes much money【参考答案】1—5、ADBBC【2014高考英语马鞍山市质量检测】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

What makes a person a scientist？Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others？The answer is “NO”．It is not what the tools that a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist.You will probably agree that knowing how to use the power is important to a carpenter (木匠)．You will probably agree，too，that knowing how to investigate (调查)，how to discover information，is important to everyone.The scientist，however，goes one step further，he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed (确认) by other persons.He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.The scientist’s knowledge must be exact.There is no room for half right or right just half the time.He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit.What works under one set of conditions sometimes must work under the same conditions at other times.If the conditions are different，any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration (演示) must be explained by the changes in the conditions.This is one reason that investigations are important in science.Albert Einstein，who developed the theory of relativity，arrived at this theory through mathematics.The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations.Einstein’s ideas were shown to be correct.A scientist uses many tools for measurements.Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.1．What makes a scientist according to the passage?A．The tools he uses. B．His ways of learning.C．The ways he uses his tools. D．The different tools.解析：细节理解题。

That willpower bore fruit when Jennifer graduated from University of WisconsinEau C laire and became the first in her large family to earn a bachelor's degree.Mauer, of Edgar, Wisconsin, grew up on a farm in a family of 10 children. Her dad worked at a job away from the farm, and her mother ran the farm with the kids.After high school, Jennifer attended a local technical college, working to pay her tuition (学费), because there was no extra money set aside for a college education. After graduation, she worked to help her sisters and brothers pay for their schooling.Jennifer now is married and has three children of her own. She decided to go back to college to advance her career and to be able to better support her family while doing something she loves: nursing. She chose the UWEau Claire program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Ma rshfield because she was able to pursue her fouryear degree close to home. She could drive to class and be home in the evening to help with her kids. Jennifer received great support from her family as she worked to earn her degree: Her husband worked two jobs to cover the bills, and her 68yearold mother helped take care of the children at times.Through it all, she remained in good academic standing and graduated with honors. Jennifer sacrificed (牺牲) to achieve her goal, giving up many nights with her kids and missing important events to study. “Some nights my heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and studying for exams or papers，〞 she says. However, her children have learned an important lesson witnessing their mother earn her degree.

Others, like snowshoe hares, take center stage in predators' (捕食者的) view when they lack snow for disguising their white fur, which is not a good thing for them, of course.Black bears, on the other hand, have been keeping busy gathering nuts and apples, when they would normally have settled into their winter homes by now. Vermont and Massachusetts officials have asked residents to wait till snowfalls to take out their bird feeders for the sake of safety, the article said.“We suggest waiting for six or more inches of snow that lasts before taking out your bird feeders, especially if you have been visited in the past by bears or if there are sightings of bears in your neighborhood，〞 Forrest Hammond, Vermont Fish and Wildlife's bear biologist, said in the article. “Due to lack of snow and frozen ground, birds are able to seek in fields and forests for their natural foods.〞Snow amounts can also determine how comfortable bears are and how quickly they consume their accumulated fat during hibernation (冬眠), noted Hammond in the article. This is because snow covers and traps them in their winter homes, and also hides them from predators.5．What may upset snowshoe hares because of El Nino?A．Their being caught more easily. B．Their failing to gather more food.C．Their consuming more energy. D．Their losing sight of their enemies.6．Why did the officials ask people to keep bird feeders until snowfalls?A.

天津市西青区2016届高考英语阅读理解专题一轮练习（9）阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
The traditional tent cities at festivals such as Glastonbury may never be the same again. In a victory of green business that is certain to appeal to environmentally-aware music-lovers, a design student is to receive financial support to produceeco-friendly tentsmade of cardboard that can be recycled after the bands and the crowds have gone home.Major festivals such as Glastonbury throw away some 10,000 abandoned tents at the end of events each year. For his final year project at the University of the West of England, James Dunlop came up with a material that can be recycled. And to cope with the British summer, the cardboard has been made waterproof.Taking inspiration from a Japanese architect, who has used cardboard to make big buildings including churches, Mr Dunlop used cardboard material for his tents, which he called Myhabs.The design won an award at the annual New Designers Exhibition after Mr Dunlop graduated from his product design degree and he decided to try to turn it into a business.To raise money for the idea, he toured the City’s private companies which fund new businesses and found a supporter in the finance group Mint. He introduced his idea to four of Mint’s directors an d won their support. Mint has committed around￡500,000 to MyHab and taken a share of 30 per cent in Mr Dunlop’s business. The first Myhabs should be tested at festivals this summer, before being marketed fully next year.Mr Dunlop said that the design, which accommodates two people, could have other uses, such as for disaster relief and housing for the London Olympics. For music events, the cardboard houses will be ordered online and put up at the sites by the Myhab team before the festival-goers arrive and removed by the company afterwards. They can bepersonalized and the company will offer reductions on the expense if people agree to sell exterior(外部的) advertising space.The biggest festivals attract tens of thousands of participants, with Glastonbury having some 150,000 each year. Altogether there are around 100 annual music festivals where people camp in the UK. The events are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious.1. “Eco-friendly tents” in paragraph 1 refer to tents.A. economically desirableB. favorable to the environmentC. for holding music performancesD. designed for disaster relief2. Mr Dunlop established his business .A. independently with an interest-free loan from MintB. with the approval of the City’s administrationC. in partnership with a finance groupD. with the help of a Japanese architect3. It is implied in the passage that .A. the weather in the UK is changeable in summerB. most performances at British festivals are given in the open airC. the cardboard tents produced by Mr Dunlop can be user-tailoredD. cardboard tents can be easily put up and removed by users4. The passage is mainly concerned with .A. an attempt at developing recyclable tentsB. some efforts at making full use of cardboardsC. an unusual success of a graduation projectD. the effects of using cardboard tents on music festivals【参考答案】1-4 BCCAPassage Thirteen (Cryptic Coloring)Cryptic coloring is by far the commonest use of color in the struggle for existence. It is employed for the purpose of attack (aggressive resemblance or anticryptic coloring ) as well as of defense (protective resemblance or procryptic coloring ). The fact that the same method concealment, may be used both for attack and defense has been well explained by T.Belt who suggests as an illustration the rapidity of movement which is also made use of by both pursuer and pursued, which is similarly raised to a maximum in both by the gradual dying out of the slowest through a series of generations. Cryptic coloring is commonly associated with other aids in the struggle for life. Thus well-concealed mammals and birds, when discovered, will generally endeavor to escape by speed and will often attempt to defend themselves actively. On the other hand, small animals which have no means of active defense, such as large, numbers of insects, frequently depend upon concealment alone. Protective resemblance is far commoner among animals than aggressive resemblance, in correspondence with the fact that predaceous forms are as a rule much larger and much less numerous than their prey. In the case of insectivorous Vertebrata and their prey such differences exist in an exaggerated form. Cryptic coloring, whether used for defense of attack, may be either general or special. In general resemblance the animal, in consequence of its coloring, produces the same effect as its environment,but the conditions do not require any special adaptation of shape and outline. General resemblance is especially common among the animal inhabiting some uniformly colored expanse of the earth’s surface, such as an ocean or a desert. In the former, animals of all shapes are frequently protected by their transparent blue color, on the latter, equally diverse forms are defended by their sandy appearance. The effect of a uniform appearance may be produced by a combination of tints in startling contrast. Thus the black and white stripes of the zebra blend together at a little distance, and “their proportion is such as exactly to match the pale tint which arid ground possesses when seen by moonlight.” Special resemblance is far commoner than general and is the form which is usually met with on the diversified surface of the earth, on the shores, and in shallow water, as well as on the floating masses of algae on the surface of the ocean, such as the Sargasso Sea. In these environments the cryptic coloring of animals is usually aided by special modifications of shape, and by the instinct which leads them to assume particular attitudes. Complete stillness and the assumption of a certain attitude play an essential part in general resemblance on land; but in special resemblance the attitude is often highly specialized, and perhaps more important than any other element in the complex method by which concealment is effected. In special resemblance the combination of coloring, shape, and attitude is such as to produce a more or less exact resemblance to some one of the objects in the environment, such as a leaf of twig, a patch of lichen, a flake of bark. In all cases the resemblance is to some object which is of no interest to the enemy or prey respectively. The animal is not hidden from view by becoming indistinguishable from its background as in the case of general resemblance, but it is mistaken for some well-know object.In seeking the interpretation of these most interesting and elaborate adaptations, attempts have been made along two lines. The first seeks to explain the effect as a result of the direct influence of the environment upon the individual (G.L.L.Buffon), or by the inherited effects of efforts and the use and disuse of parts (marck). The second believes that natural selection produced the result and afterwards maintained it by the survival of the best concealed in each generation. The formersuggestion breaks down when the complex nature of numerous special resemblances is appreciated. Thus the arrangement of colors of many kinds into an appropriate pattern requires the cooperation of a suitable shape and the rigidly exact adoption of a certain elaborate attitude. The latter is instinctive and thus depends on the central nervous system. The cryptic effect is due to the exact cooperation of all these factors; and in the present state of science, the only possible hole of an interpretation lies in the theory of natural selection, which can accumulate any and every variation which tends toward survival. A few of the chief types of methods by which concealment is effected may be briefly described. The colors of large numbers of vertebrate animals are darkest on the back and become gradually lighter on the sides, passing into white on the belly. Abbot H. Thayer has suggested that this gradation obliterates the appearance of solidity, which is due to shadow. The color harmony, which is also essential to concealment, is produced because the back is of the same tint as the environment (e. g. earth), bathed in the cold blue-white of the sky, while the belly, being cold blue-white and bathed in shadow and yellow earth reflections produces the same effects. This method of neutralizing shadow for the purpose of concealment by increased lightness of tint was first suggested by E.B.Poulton in the case of a larva and a pupa, but he did not appreciate the great importance of the principle. In an analogous method an animal in front of a background of dark shadow may have part of its body obliterated by the existence of a dark tint, the remainder resembling, e.g., a part of a leaf. This method of rendering invisible any part which would interfere with the resemblance is well know in mimicry.1. The black and white stripes of the zebra are most useful form[A]. hunters. . nocturnal predators[C]. lions and tigers. [C]. insectivorous Vertrbrata2. Aggressive resemblance occurs when[A]. a predaceous attitude is assumed.. special resemblance is utilized.[C]. an animal relies on speed.[D]. an animal blends in with its background.3. Special resemblance differs from general resemblance in that the animal relies on[A]. its ability to frighten its adversary. . speed.[C]. its ability to assume an attitude. [D]. mistaken identify4. The title below that best expresses the ides of this passage is[A]. Cryptic coloration for Protection. . How Animals Survive.[C]. The uses of Mimicry in Nature. [D]. Resemblances of Animals.5.

体裁：记叙文话题：逸闻趣事时间：7分钟There was once a tiny country that was suffering from a long drought.It had gone so long without rain that the people there were starting to go hungry because of the bad harvests.It just so happened that a group of musicians were traveling the country，trying to make a living from their concerts.But with so many problems in the land，no one felt like listening to music.“But music can help overcome any problems，” said the musicians，without anyone paying them the slightest attention.So the musicians tried to find out the reason it wouldn't rain.It was very strange，because the sky was overcast，but no one could provide an answer.“It's been cloudy like this for many months，but not a single drop of rain has fallen，” people told them.“Don't worry，we'll bring rain to the country，” the musicians responded，and they began rehearsing for a concert at the summit of the highest mountain.Everyone who heard the music was seized by curiosity and went up the mountain.And the conductor of this strange orchestra gave the order，and the musicians began to play.From their instruments came small，playful musical notes that rose and rose into the clouds.The music was so joyous，happy and fun，and the notes started playing with the clouds' soft，fluffy bellies，running here and there，up and down，and the whole sky turned into one big game of tickle torture.Before long，the giant clouds were thundering with laughter.The musicians continued playing joyfully and a few minutes later the clouds，crying with laughter，soaked the little country below with their precious tears，bringing happiness to all.And in memory of that musical rain，everyone in the country learned how to play an instrument and，taking turns，would go up the mountain every day to bring joy to the clouds with their beautiful songs.【语篇导读】一个干旱已久的小国，却因为音乐家们的到来，改变了他们的命运——音乐家通过在山顶上演奏音乐，从而为当地降下了甘霖。

A Mountain of Green BeansAnother envelope in the mail. There’s my name, Alexander Spencer, typed on the front. I throw it under the bed. The piles of envelopes are growing.The envelopes were applications to all the colleges I was supposed to attend. I did open the first envelope. Then I saw the application, all those blank spaces I was supposed to fill with my own writing, spaces for my name and birth date and grade average and … statement of purpose. I looked at them for a long time. I could write for hours and not fill all those spaces. So I put the application back in the envelope. I would fill it out the next day, when I had time. But another envelope arrived. And then the pile began.The pile scares me — it is really like a monster. All the while, I feel the weight of a million envelopes raining down on my head until my grandmother calls me and wants to know how I am.“I am overcome by too many tasks,” I say.“Honey, you just take it bit by bit,” she says, and she reminds me about the green beans.When I was a little kid I hated green beans. But my mom said I couldn’t leave the table until I ate ten green beans. All alone at the table, I stared at the green beans for what seemed like hours. It was a mountain of green beans. I couldn’t do it.My grandma came to me and asked if I could eat one green bean.“But Grandma, I have to eat ten!”She said all I had to do was to eat one green bean. One tiny little green bean. So I ate one. It was bad, but not as bad as I’d thought it would be. Then she asked me again if I could eat one. So I ate one green bean nine more times.My grandma doesn’t know about the envelopes, but she tells me anyone can do one thing every day.Back in my room, I lay down on the bed. Just like I used to do when I was a little kid, I hang my head down to look at the pile of envelopes. There it is. But instead of a monster, I see a pile of green beans. Who’s afraid of green beans?1. Envelopes are piling up because the author _______.A.doesn’t know how to replyB.feels bored of the paper workC.doesn’t want to attend collegeD.has been too busy to open them2. What does the author learn from the story of the green beans?A. A good start is half done.B. Actions speak louder than words.C. A long journey begins with a single step.D. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.3. What do you think the author will do next?A. He will fill out the applications one after another.B. He will go to the college that he dreams of.C. He will throw away all the envelopes.D. He will eat up the green beans.【参考答案】1—3、B C A【2014高考英语吉林省实验中学一模试题】A阅读下列短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Tail SpinTwo dolphins race around in a big pool in the Ocean Park. The smaller dolphin, Grace, shows off a few of her tricks, turning around and waving hello to the crowd. The most amazing thing about her, however, is that she's even swimming at all. She doesn't have a tail.Grace lost her tail as a baby when she got caught up in a fish trap.When the dolphin arrived at the Ocean Park in December 2005, she was fighting for her life. “Is she going to make it？” Her trainer, Abbey Stone, feared the worst. Grace did make it—but her tail didn't. She ended up losing her flukes and the lower part of her peduncle.Over the past six years, she has learned to swim without her tail. Dolphins swim by moving their flukes and peduncle up and down. Grace taught herself to move another way—like a fish! She pushes herself forward through the water by moving her peduncle from side to side.The movements put harmful pressure on Grace's backbone. So a company offered to create a man－made tail for her. The tail had to be strong enough to stay on Grace as she swam but soft enough that it wouldn't hurt her.The first time Grace wore the artificial tail, she soon shook it off and let it sink to the bottom of the pool. Now, she is still learning to use the tail. Some days she wears it for an hour at a time, others not at all. “The new tail isn't necessary for her to feel comfortable，” says Stone, “but it helps to keep that range of motion(动作) and build muscles(肌肉)．”Now, the dolphin is about to get an even happier ending. This month, Grace will star in Dolphin Tale, a film that focuses on her rescue and recovery. Her progress has inspired more than just a new movie. Many people travel from near and far to meet her. Seeing Grace swim with her man－made tail gives people so much courage.60．When Grace first arrived at the Ocean Park, her trainer worried about her ________.A. physical buildB. potential abilityC. chance of survivalD. adaptation to the surroundings61．A man－made tail is created for Grace to ________．A. let her recover fasterB. make her comfortableC. adjust her way of swimmingD. help her perform better tricks62．The story of Grace inspires people to ________．A. stick to their dreamsB. treat animals friendlyC. treasure what they haveD. face difficulties bravely【要点综述】这是一篇关于海豚的故事，讲述的是一只断尾的海豚。
