The day my husband fell to his death, it started to snow, just like any November day. His body, when I found it, was lightly covered with snow. It snowed almost every day for the next four months, while I sat on the couch and watched it pile up. One morning, I shuffled downstairs and was surprised to see a snow remover clearing my driveway and the bent back of a woman shoveling(铲)my walk.
I dropped to my knees, crawled through the living room. And back up stairs so those good people would not see me. I was embarrassed. My first thought was, how would I ever repay them? I didn’t have the strength to brush my hair let alone shovel someone’s walk.
Before John’s death, I took pride in the fact that I rarely asked for help or favors, I defined myself by my competence and independence. So who was I if I was no longer capable and busy? How could I respect myself if all I did was sit on the couch every day and watch the snowfall? Learning how to receive the love and support that came my way wasn't easy. Friends cooked for me and l cried because I couldn't even help them set the table. “I'm not usually this lazy,”
I wept. Finally, my friend Kathy sat down with me and said, "Mary, cooking for you is not a burden.
I love you and I want to do it. It makes me feel good to be able to do something for you. ”Over and over, I heard similar emotions from the people who supported me during those dark days. One very wise man told me, “You are not doing nothing. Being fully open to your sorrow may be the hardest work you will ever do.”
I am not the person I once was, but in many ways I have changed for the better. My heart is now filled with thanks for people around me. I have been surprised to learn that there is incredible freedom that comes from facing one’s worst fear and walking away whole. I believe there is strength, for sure, in accepting a dark period of our life.
1. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. The writer’s friend was unwilling to cook for her.
B. The writer had been busy with her life before.
C. The writer recove red from her sorrow quickly with his friend‘s help.
D. The day her husband died, it was snowing heavily.
3. The underlined word “shuffled” in Paragraph 1 probably means ___________.
A. stepped steadily
B. walked slowly
C. ran swiftly
D. fell sadly
4. We can infer from the passage that ____________.
A. the writer found her husband immediately he fell off the roof
B. the writer became strong-willed immediately after John's death
C. the people around the writer were friendly and supported her
D. before John’s death, the writer never asked others for help
5. The writer wrote the passage to ___________.
A. share her sad story with us
B. express her guilty conscience to the people who helped her
C. show her thanks to the people who love and support her
D. tell us the changes she has made because of her husband’s death

2014高考英语阅读理解（社会生活、说理议论）[2014·天津卷] D
People aren't walking any more—if they can figure out a way to avoid it.
I felt superior about this matter until the other day I took my car to mail a small parcel. The journey is a matter of 281 steps. But I used the car. And I wasn't in any hurry, either. I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness: motorosis.
It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune(免疫的), for I was bred in the tradition of going to places on my own two legs. At that time, we regarded 25 miles as good day's walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as a sign of strength and skill. It did not occur to us that walking was a hardship. And the effect was lasting. When I was 45 years old I raced—and beat—a teenage football player the 168 steps up the Stature of Liberty.
Such enterpris es today are regarded by many middle­aged perso ns as bad for the heart. But a well­known British physician, Sir Adolphe Abrhams, pointed out recently that hearts and bodies
need proper exercise. A person who avoids exercise is more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises regularly. And walking is an ideal form of exercise—the most familiar and natural of all.
It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot. The man walking can learn the trees, flowers, insects, birds and animals, the significance of seasons, the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world. He cannot learn in a car.
The car is a convenient means of transport, but we have made it our way of life. Many people don't dare to approach Nature any more; to them the world they were born to enjoy is all threat. To them security is a_steel_river thundering on a concrete road. And much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.
I say that the green of forests is the mind's best light. And none but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting.
51. What is the national sickness?
A. Walking too much.
B. Travelling too much.
C. Driving cars too much.
D. Climbing stairs too much.
52. What was life like when the author was young?
A. People usually went around on foot.
B. People often walked 25 miles a day.
C. People used to climb the Statue of Liberty.
D. People considered a ten­hour walk as a hardship.
53. The author mentions Henry Thoreau to prove that________.
A. middle­aged people like getting back to natur e
B. walking in nature helps enrich one's mind
C. people need regular exercise to keep fit
D. going on foot prevents heart disease
54. What is compared to “a steel river” in Paragraph 6?
A. A queue of cars.
B. A ray of traffic light.
C. A flash of lightning.
D. A stream of people.
55. What is the author's intention of writing this passage?
A. To tell people to reflect more on life.
B. To recommend people to give up driving.
C. To advise people to do outdoor activities.
D. To encourage people to return to walking.
52. A 细节理解题。

按照第三段中的内容，作者年轻时靠自己的双腿去某个地方，一天走25英里路，从
没感觉走路是一种痛苦。

由此可知，作者年轻时人们通常靠自己的双脚处处走动。

可知A项正确。

53. B 推理判断题。

按照第五段中的第一句“It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot.”可知作者提到Henry Thoreau是为了证明用脚走路可以丰硕人类的大脑。

可知B项正确。

54. A 词义猜想题。

根据画线词组后面的“…while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.”可知是车在等交通灯变绿，所以这里是指一排车。

可知A项正确。

55. D 推理判断题。

总览全文，可知“我”用自己的切身经历告知读者此刻很多人都依赖车，不自己走路了，而走路令人身体健康，丰硕人的心里。

作者同时引用名人名言，进一步证明自己的观点，其目的都是在鼓励人们从头回归走路。

所以D项正确。

说理议论（阅读理解）由(2013浙江金华一中高三月考)改编
One of the biggest challenges facing students and their families is what career they should enter and what is the best path for them to take.
I was talking to someone the other day who told me he first studied accounting because that was what everyone was studying several years ago. It was and some say still is a reliable career. However, then he told me that he was now studying financial investment because again—that’s what everyone was studying now and it was needed if he wanted to get ahead in the company. And I asked him what he was actually interested in and then—well the conversation kind of died. So I asked why he had bothered studying accounting in the first place and he explained that it was his parents’ idea. Finally I asked what his passion was and he wasn’t too sure because he never thought about it.
And so it is—lifelong learning—or the continual need to make ourselves marketable in a world that appears to be more competitive as time goes by. Is there a secret to help us so we can live a life of quality?
Regardless or not at this stage in world history with increasing connection between people, ideas and markets—the ability to match the needs and desires of the day with your own skills and products is a tremendous and vigorous challenge.
Many have gone into English or foreign language study because it was encouraged at the time when China was entering the WTO. Or maybe they were interested in international affairs or working abroad. Upon graduation they then faced the reality that there was a limit to how many jobs they could apply for.
Perhaps some then studied further doing courses for work such as a tour guide or translator/ interpreter. Many may have decided that going into teaching was more rewarding or stable. Others would have gone into media or advertising or conference management and acquired new skills along the way.
This constant quest to remain ahead of the game makes many upset and exhausted. Some futurists who examine technology have even predicted that people should expect to change careers six or seven times during their lifetime!
So if you are concerned by the nature of change, why not start spending more time looking at the most modern leading economies, institutions and their publications. A whole lot of changes are starting to happen yet there is no reason why this cannot be enjoyable, exciting and also rewarding. Our attitude, approach and willingness to continually learn and update our skills must remain strong.
My tip is to track the work that our government is setting about to achieve. In particular, look at the people who have been chosen as the key support team and try to read behind the light surface
news and look at their career development and examine the recent reports that they are now recommending the government move towards. Key industry development, new ways of dealing with information and new demands are creating opportunities for the students and workers of tomorrow—if we stay prepared.

administrators.
