Whether she wantsto or not, she's ready to start each day between1:30 and 3:00 a.m."I'm wide awake and ready to clean thehouse," the 49-year-old woman said. "I don'tneed a cup of coffee to get going, not at all. Butbetween 4:00 and 5:00 p.m. you might have to nudge (轻推) me with an elbow."Middlebrook suffers from what is knownas Familial Advanced Sleep Phase Syndrome, or FASPS. Her body's clock is out of sync (同步) with the sleep-wake rhythm, which most ofthe world lives by. She goes to bed each nightbetween 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. and wakes in theearly hours of the morning."The result is that you can feel very lonely," Middlebrook said. “Who wants to have a party at three in the morning? Nobody I know, and I don’t want to go to the local bar to see who’s still there.〞About three-tenths of the world’s population lives like this, including two of Middlebrook’s sisters, her daughter, and her mother. “Their whole clock is shifted,〞said Fu Yinghui, a researcher at the University of California, San Francisco.In the science journal Nature, Fu and his colleagues reported a newly-discovered mutation 〔变异〕of a single gene that they say causes FASPS.There are more than a dozen genes thatcontrol the human body clock, according to Fu.That clock controls a variety of physical and behavioral cycles. These include fluctuations (波动) in heart rate, blood pressure, and the immune system. Collectively, these cycles are known as circadian rhythms (生理节奏) and are generally tied to the 24-hourday-night cycle.1. What is Susan Middlebrook's problem?A. She can't get enough sleep.B. She feels very lonely.C. She has quite a different sleep-wake rhythm.D. There is something wrong with her familygene.2.

新高一英语专题阅读理解专项练习:WeekNine生活哲理Week Nine 生活哲理一、阅读理解(共20小题;共40.0分)AFrederick Buechner talks about looking back at high school years. He remembered what all his classmates hoped and dreamed of becoming. "In my class, as at any school,"he says, "there were students who had a real talent for something. Maybe it was for writing or acting or sports. Maybe it was an interest and a joy in working with people.Sometimes it was just their capacity for being so alive that made you more alive to be with them. Yet now, a good many years later, I have the feeling that more than justa few of them are spending their lives at work in which none of these gifts is beingused."Matt Lamb could have been one of those people. Until 1987, Matt owned and ran his own restaurant in Chicago. But that year, a doctor told Matt that he had a fatal disease.So he closed the restaurant and pursued his true passion, painting.Soon, Matt's art drew national attention. He became quite successful. Only after Matt had found success in his dream career did doctors discover that they had misdiagnosed him. He wasn't going to die after all.A misdiagnosis(误诊) may have saved him from a life of meaninglessness. Not that owningone's own small business is in any way unworthy, but it simply was not Matt's true passion. In his heart, he wanted topaint, and he would never be truly happy until he pursued that dream, wherever it finally led him.Those beautiful dreams we have for the rest of our lives too often don't materialize.And, again too often, we look back dissatisfied with the direction we took or the place we finally reached.You don't get to choose how you're going to die or when. You can only decide how you're going to live. That decision is too important to put off another day.1. We can infer from what Frederick says that .A. most people don't use their giftsB. every student has a gift for somethingC. you are alive when working with peopleD. many people are working without talents2. Why did Matt give up his restaurant business?A. Because he couldn't make a lot of money.B. Because he was told he would die soon.C. Because he found no passion for cooking.D. Because he wanted to become a doctor.3. The example of Matt reflects that .A. anything unexpected may happenB. where there is a will, there is a wayC. misfortune may be an actual blessingD. a slow sparrow should make an early start4. According to the writer, Matt was truly happy .A. when he attracted attention from othersB. when he owned his own small businessC. when he knew he wouldn't die soonD. when he realized his dream of painting5.

He was a soft spoken boy froma southern place in India.Everyone carries some load; Jinesh too had one. Camouflaged in his smile was somethingI don't know what it means to carry. But there he was going around with courage I haveseen only in a few. He wore a mask, required of people who experience chemotherapy(化疗), for he was battling a cancer.First time I smiled and said a "Hi" and Jinesh gently responded back. He was preparing to leave for his hometown. His father was kind enough to share his son's treatment.I could do nothing to offer comfort, just a smile and a couple of words. They wereoff. I never thought our relationship would grow in the next few years.A few months later they were again in the hospital for a follow up. I came across themat the restaurant and I recognized that little face, now without the mask.I said a "Hello" and asked the "little man" whether he recognized me. It was an honorthat he remembered me... Our journey grew further. I spent many minutes with him and we exchanged phone numbers. Ipromised I would visit him later and carried on. He was staying next to our hospital.What could I gift a boy like Jinesh? I decided on a pack of colors. What could I expect in the room of a small boy undergoing chemotherapy? As I entered he was beaming witha smile and I felt small before his ability to take life as it comes. I relearnt thatthe most important things in life are not things.He started showing me the drawings and crafts he had done, for he done quite a bit of them and decorated his room. How many times do I fail to decorate my life?On July 7, 2012 Jinesh breathed last after his battle. I still find it hard to think that it all happened.

Why does the author writer the passage?A. To describe a boy's negative attitude towards life.B. To explain the reason for making friends with a child.C. To recall an unforgettable experience in hospital.D. To introduce a brave child facing death.CDo you consider yourself a good or a bad decision-maker? If you answer "bad", you might simply be choosing the wrong time of day to make your decisions.When was the last time you made an end-of-the-day business decision or a late-night online purchase only to regret it the next day? Most of us are guilty of some regrettable decisions from time to time, but researchers may now have an explanation for these poor choices. Psychologists and researchers call the newly identified phenomenon "decision fatigue". They suggest that each time we make a decision, we use up some of our willpower, that ability to control our own actions and say "No".After making many decisions, our willpower is then used up, leading us to make increasingly poor choices. Roy Baumeister, social psychologist on the topic hasconducted a series of experiments. These experiments proved that willpower roles likea muscle and can actually be fatigued with use. As a result, when fewer decisions areinvolved, there is less decision fatigue.But in a world with endless choices, everywhere from the coffee shop to the classroom, how can we avoid decision fatigue and choose wisely? Baumeister found that the most successful people have learned how to conserve their willpower by adapting their habits and routines.What can we learn from them?Make your mornings countWhen possible, make all major decisions in the morning while your mind is fresh and before fatigue takes over. When you face problems that must be dealt with, handle the situation early in the day in order to avoid a harsh word or an error in judgment.Avoid crisesDon't wait until the last minute to pay your bills, finish a project or make needed repairs. Use your willpower to avoid a crisis rather than just get through one.Sleep on itTrying to decide on something like a new apartment or can be draining. As with any major financial agreement, it's best to sleep on it before making any final decisions.Know yourselfBaumeister shared a final common denominator among those who avoid decision fatigue."The best decision makers are the ones who know when not to trust themselves." he said.11. According to the passage, you may make a better decision .A. at midnightB. in the morningC. in the afternoonD. in the evening12. People suffering "decision fatigue" may .A. make a wiser decision in businessB. make a good online bargainC. make a poor choice easilyD. make a good use of their willpower13. The writer develops the third paragraph by .A. telling storiesB. giving examplesC. making an experimentD. making a comparison14. In the opinion of Baumeister, best decision makers are those .A. who don't always believe in themselvesB. who sleep to avoid final decisionsC. who get up in the early morningD. who pay their bills at the last minute15. What might be the most suitable title for the passage?A. Making More Decisions Every Day May Hurt Your BrainB. Deciding Constantly May Affect the Quality of Your DecisionsC. Thinking Carefully before Making a Decision Will Benefit YouD. Choosing a Suitable Time to Decide Is Really Important to YouDA friend of mine was sitting in the living room one day when his cat dragged in a little"gift" in its mouth—a dead animal of some sort. Taking a closer look, he was dismayed to recognize the dead animal to bea bunny that belonged to a little girl who lived next door. Her name was Bonny. My friend felt terrible, believing his cat had killed Bonny's bunny.My quick-thinking friend came up with a plan. Removing from the cat's mouth the dead animal, which by now was a dirty mess, he put it in the kitchen sink. With a little warm water and some shampoo, he tried to clean up the dead bunny as best he could.Then he took a hair dryer (a "hare dryer" actually) and blow-dried the bunny until it looked pretty good.Finally, he took the dead bunny out to the neighbor's rabbit cage and placed it back in the cage. He stood him up so that he looked very natural there in his little box.The next morning, my friend looked out the window and noticed a crowd of people gathered around the rabbit hutch. Everyone seemed to be talking and pointing. My friend decided to go over and act like any normal curious neighbor and find out what was going on.When he got there, Bonny's mother said to my friend, "You won't believe what has happened! It's a miracle! Bonny's bunny passed away a few days ago, and we buried that little bunny right over there..."A lesson:Have you ever tried to cover up one sin with another? Covering up only makes matters worse. When we get caught doing something wrong, for example, we may attempt to cover it up with a lie. But just like Bonny's bunny, the result is never what we expected.We end up looking foolish. We would have been better off admitting we were wrong and accepting the results.16. The underlined word "dismayed" may mean .A. worriedB. pleasedC. puzzledD. disappointed17. What does the word "he" refer to ?A. The boy.B. The bunny.C. The cat.D. The friend of the writer.18. Why did the writer's friend stand the bunny up?A. To frighten the cat away from the cage.B. To prevent it being mistaken as a dead one.C. To make it look alive normally.D. To give his neighbor a pleasant surprise.19. What is a miracle for Bonny's mother?A. Her bunny was missing from the cage.B. Her bunny was killed by a cat.C. Her bunny was clean in the cage.D. Her dead bunny came back into the cage.20. By writing the story, the author advises us .A. never try to hide your mistakeB. never tell a lie to othersC. never treat animals badlyD. never kill an animal二、完形填空(共20小题;共30.0分)If there's one word that describes the life of a single parent, it's busy.

She walks by her mother’s fairy paintings cautiously, fearful that the fairies might emerge from their frames and attack her. Faith always shouts Gem Squash Tokoloshe as she tries to protect herself from the most evil fairy spirit: the Tokoloshe.Bella says gem squash is a magic vegetable that can get away the Tokoloshe. She encourages Faith to eat plenty of it, although Faith hates the taste.A long drought forces Faith’s father to become a traveling salesman, and he only comes home on weekends. But one day he doesn’t come back at all.Bella becomes severely depressed and is unable to properly care for Faith. So a young black woman named Nomsa looks after her. As Bella’s mental healthdeclines, she withdraws further into her fairy world.As Bella’s personality changes, Faith grows increasingly attached to Nomsa until Bella is taken to a mental institution.Fifteen years later, Faith is grown-up but she feels like she doesn’t know herself.

The United States Department of Agriculture reports that it expects potato use to decrease during the next fourteen years.Growers say one main reason is that more people are worrying about getting too fat. Several popular weight-reducing plans restrict carbohydrates. Potatoes are high in carbohydrates. American potato farmers also face competition from foreign growers. To deal with these problems, a non-profit organization is working to get farmers to limit potato production. The United Potato Growers of America was formed more than a year ago. Its members plant most of America’s potatoes.Over the years, many American potato growers have done their best to grow large crops. Because the more potatoes they produced, the more they had to sell. But too many potatoes for sale mean too little profit. So now the potato growers organization wants to reduce the amount of potatoes reaching the market. The goal is to keep demand strong and continuous. Members promise to plant fewer potatoes. They also promise they will not send potatoes to market when the supply becomes too large.The idea began about two years ago when potato growers from the state of Idaho formed a group called the United Potato Growers of Idaho. The group expanded its membership to become a national organization. Idaho potato grower Albert Wada is board chairman of theUnited Potato Growers of America. Mr. Wada recently compared potato prices before and after formation of the organization. Between September, 2004 and June, 2005, overproduction of potatoes brought prices down. But in the same period a year later, growers received an average price increase of four dollars for every 45 kilograms of potatoes.But not all potato farmers want to join the organization and restrict the amout of potatoes they can grow. And planting time next spring will bring a test. The organization will learn if members really will limit the amount of potatoes they plant.1. Why are Americans eating fewer potatoes than before?A. Because they have more food to choose from.B. Because the potatoes aren’t as good as before.C. Because they are worried about their weight.D. Because the price of potatoes has increased a lot.2. The United Potato Growers of America ______.A. helps farmers sell their potatoes to foreign countriesB. calls on farmers to grow fewer potatoesC. advises farmers to grow high-quality potatoesD. provides farmers with new technology for growing potatoes3. What would be the best title for the passage?A. A change in Americans’ eating h abitsB. The difference between American and foreign potatoesC. Farmers organize to control potato supplyD. Farmers enlarge the potato marketKey: A 1-3 DBD B 1-3 CBC。

For whom is the text most probably written?A.Travel agent.B.Advertisers.C. Parents..D.Children.BMany years gao I worked in an office with large windows facing a busy overpass (). When things were hard, I would stand by the window and wave to the passengers who looked up. The strange looks made me laugh and stress was washed away.Co-workers began to take an interest in my behavior. They would stand from view, watch the reactions I received, and laugh along. Late afternoon was the best time — rush hour traffic filled the overpass with cars and buses. It didn’t take long to attract a group of staffs who passed the window every day and looked up at the strange waving man.After a while, waving became boring, so I changed ways. I made signs: “Hi,” “Hello,”“Be Happy!” and posted them in the window and waved. I stood near the window in various poses, made faces, stuck out my tongue, and once went into the walkway over the street and danced while co-workers pointed to let fans know I was there.Christmas approached, and job cuts were announced. Several co-workers would lose their jobs,and everyone was feeling low. Stress in the office reached a high. During the break, I hid from my co-workers, slipped into the costume, walked bravely to my desk, sat down, and held my belly, as they gathered around me laughing when my manager was walking through the door. He held his stomach, and tears formed in his eyes. It was the first time I had seen them smile in weeks. He said, “Mike, thanks! With the job cuts it has been hard to enjoy the Christmas season. Thanks for the laugh, I needed it.”24.Which of the following words can best describe the author according to Paragraph 1?A.Optimistic.B.Pessimistic.C.Generous.D.Clever.25.Why was late afternoon the best time?A.Because the author could attract many more people and make them relaxed.B.Because the co-workers would be more interested in his behavior.C.Because there were so many cars and bused then.D.ecause the author was free at that time.26.Who was/were probably interested in the author’s behavior?A.The passengers.B.The drivers.C.The manager.D.The workmates.27.How did the author finally make his workmates and manager laugh?A.By shaking and hitting the manager.B.By his humorous and funny acting.C.By letting his co-workers gather around him.D.By putting pressure on his manager.CTraffic noise can shorten your life, new research suggests. Having to endure rumbling lorries, honking horns and screeching tyres has been linked to shorter life expectancy and a higher risk of stroke.People surrounded by daytime traffic noise louder than 60db (分贝)were 4 per cent more likely to die than those where noise levels were 55db – roughly the level of a loud conversation.The extra deaths mostly involved heart or artery disease - which could in turn be linked to raised blood pressure, sleep problems and stress brought on by noise.The study also found that adults living in areas with the noisiest daytime traffic were 5% more likely to be admitted to hospital for stroke than those from quieter neighbourhoods. For the elderly, this increase in risk rose to 9%.The scientists looked levels of road traffic noise between 7am and 11pm, and at night between 11pm and 7am, across a range of different postcodes and correlated(使有相互关系) their findings with death and hospital admission rates. A number of factors - including individuals' age and sex as well as ethnicity, smoking levels, air pollution and socio-economic deprivation - were taken into account.Commenting on the findings, Professor Francesco Cappuccio, chair of Cardiovascular Medicine and Epidemiology at the University of Warwick, said: “The results do not imply a direct cause-effect relationship. However, they are consistent with other evidence to suggest a possible causal link.”“It has been well established that nocturnal(夜间的) traffic noise disrupts sleep quantity and quality. If sustained over time, these disturbances, like sleep deprivation, have been associated with a 12% increased risk of all-cause mortality, mainly due to a 15% increase in strokeevents and high blood pressure. Public health policies must pay more attention to this emerging evidence. ”said he.Given what we know about traffic emissions increasing heart disease, we should remember that travelling by foot or bike is definitely healthier - both for you and for the people around you.28.The noise of can be lighter than 60db.A.rumbling lorriesB.screeching tyresC.loud conversationsD.honking horns29.What does the underlined word “sustained” mean?A.Restrained.B.Maintained.C.Resolved.D.Mistaken.30.What can we learn from Professor Francesco’s words?A.Walking and bike-riding will not increase heart disease.B.Traffic noise in the daytime is less harmful than in the evening.C.Someone may live healthily without being influenced by traffic noise.D.Traffic noise can cause a 15% increase in stroke and high blood pressure.31.Which of the following is TRUE?A.Traffic noise directly leads to stroke.B.The extra deaths mostly involved noise.C.Traffic emissions are more serious than traffic noise.D.Traffic noise has something to do with high blood pressure.DI’m not a hater. I admire those who write, read and love first person point of view. So why did I write PRETTY DARK NOTHING in third person? The answer is simple. It’s the way the storyand the characters presented themselves to me. It’s part of my unique voice.Maybe my love of third person comes from all those years reading epic(叙事诗) fantasy. I do think my reading preferences influence how and what I write. There’s something about third person that brings a story to life in a way that first person can’t because of its limited view of the characters. I love the richness of language, the depth of the world, the exploraion of emotion and conflict on a broader range that third person allows me. It’s about diversity.I’m not saying you can’t have rich language or depth in first person point of view. You absolutely can, but it is a challenge, just as writing in third makes it harder to create the same close feeling you get from telling and reading a story in first. Where first person explores the inside out, third tends to give a little more room to pull the camera bake and explore the external. To me, you get the best of both worlds. It gives you enough distance so you don’t feel like you’re experiencing the story through a single prism(棱镜)and yet it’s close enough to help the reader connect to the character and feel as if they’re on the journey with them.In the end, there is no right or wrong. Both points of view have their strengths and their weaknesses. All writers must work to find the right balance and to seek their own voice. At the end of the day, it’s all about the story. If the story is great, it doesn’t matter which point of view it’s written in.32.What hsa an effect on the writer’s writing style?A.Her parents.B.Her life experience.C.Her reading preferences.D.Her friends.33.What do we learn about first person from the text?A.It allows the writer to use richer language.B.It is easier for the writer to create close feeling.C.It can express the characters’ feelings more diversely.D.It hels the writer to explore the world more deeply.34.What does the underlined expression “At the end of the day”mean?A.After the sun has set.B.After thinking for a day.C.When a day is over.D.When you consider everything.35.How does the writer sound when expressing her opinion?A.Anxious.B.Humorous.C.Objective.D.Reserved.第二节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

However, there are more teenagers volunteering than having part-time jobs in America. They are even setting an example for their parents through their volunteer work.According to a recent national survey (调查), 56% of teenagers volunteer to support charities (慈善) and community services, while only 39% take part-time jobs to make money. Parents also say that 82% of teenagers do something to help others in their lives, such as donating (捐赠) money.Sara Johnson, a teacher of a private high school in Chicago, realizes that teenagers are more likely to participate in social activities. She said, "I think that kids are realizing how important it is." She saw a similar increase of teenagers' participation in social activities after Hurricane Katrina, and she believes that this generation of teenagers is more active in taking part in charities than her generation was. Unlike other public high schools, Illiana Christian does not require its students to do public services, but most of its students still volunteer. Ninety-five percent of students at Illiana Christian have decided to participate in a 30-hour fast (禁食期) in support of hungry childrenaround the world. Suzanne Hammer, a junior, said, "I don't Understand why they don't take part in if they can. I think everybody should make an effort to serve others."

号顿市安谧阳光实验学校高中英语限时阅读理解周周练(1)词数: about 290 难度: ★建议用时: 3.5 minutes On my first day in a college classroom, I felt like an overgrown child returning to civilization, after having been lost in the forest for thirty years. There I sat, old enough to be a father to most of the students in the room, yet insecure enough to be their baby brother. We were crowded elbow (肘) to elbow, listening to a professor who looked even younger than the students did. I felt uncomfortable and out of place as the professor carefully explained what she expected us to learn.As I listened, I couldn’t help but think of my own oldest daughter who was now beginning her freshman year in college, just like me. I recalled (回忆) how hard I had tried to instill (逐步培养)self-confidence in her and my other children. So why did I suddenly feel like a scared child myself? When I walked out of that classroom, I had serious doubts about my ability to make it through college. Not until late that night did my thinking change. It was a long-distance telephone call from my daughter that did the trick. She was c ertain that she’d never succeed at college. How familiar her worries sounded!In my confident parental voice, I said, “Doing your best is all the world asks.” The next day in class, those words still echoed in my head. When the professor posed (提出) a question for the class, nobody, including me, dared answer. When I looked around at the fear and uncertainty on the young faces in that room, I knew exactly what I had to do: my best. That’s all the world asks. So I raised my hand, and the professor called on me. I spoke.1. The main purpose of the author in writing the story is to ______.A. tell us how he overcame his self-doubt and anxiety as a college freshmanB. recall the poor conditions in college when he was a studentC. describe his feeling of being frightened in class when asked a questionD. talk about the time when a class had students of very different ages2. When the author says “that did the trick”, he means ______.A. the telephone call worked to help him change his thinkingB. his daughter played a trick on him by pretending to leave collegeC. the telephone reminded him of his previous school experienceD. his daughter’s difficulties made him realize his parental responsibilities3. The underlined word “echoed” in Paragraph 2 means “______”.A. understoodB. repeatedC. imaginedD. warned词数: about 230 难度: ★★建议用时: 3 minutesAustralia has a very colourful multicultural society. Part of thepopulation were born overseas, most of whom were made up of children of at least one parent who was born overseas. In this mix of people, there are about 200 languages and many different religious.The Australia government holds to policy that welcomes people from all cultures: each Australian has the right to “keep and celebrate, withi n the law, their culture, language, or religion”. By following four key principles, Australia hopes to keep its culturally diverse society successful, open to new ideas and united to a shared future as a nation.The first principle emphasizes the duty of each Australian to follow and uphold the laws and principles for protecting freedom and equality for all.The second principle points out the importance of respecting other people. This means that not only does each Australian have the right to have his own beliefs and culture, but that he must also give the same right to others.The third principle stresses that each person is equal and therefore should be treated with equal fairness. There should be no discrimination against people because of their culture, religion, language, nationality, gender, etc.The fourth principle is a reminder that all Australians get some benefit from having a strong society. Multiculturalism offers great benefits to all, not only cultural, but social and economic as well.1. Australia is a culturally diverse society because ______.A. some foreigners travel thereB. some people were born abroadC. most natives marry foreignersD. the natives can understand different languages2.

高三英语限时阅读理解周周练(3)词数: about 290 难度: ★建议用时: 3.5 minutesEverybody loves a bargain. One person’s useless, ugly, or broken object can be another person’s bargain. That is why so many Americans do not throw things away. They put them outside their h ouse. They put up a “For Sale” sign. And, as simple as that, they have a yard sale.In some parts of the country, such a sale might be called a garage sale (旧物销售) or a moving sale. Whatever the name, the activity is the same. People sell things they no longer want.The sellers put a paid announcement in a local newspaper. It tells when and where the yard sale will take place. It also lists some of the things to be sold.Early in the morning, all the things to be sold are carried out of the house. Then they sit all day in the sunlight — like tired guests at a party — waiting for someone to take them home.Just about anything can be sold at a yard sale. Sometimes, there are more clothes than anything else. Cooking equipment is also popular. So are old toys, tools, books, tables, and chairs. Then there areobjects called white elephants. A white elephant is something you think is extremely ugly or useless, to someone else, however, it might be a thing of beauty and joy.Usually, the seller puts a price on each object at a yard sale. However, that price can almost always be negotiated (商谈).Some people go to yard sales to find a particular thing that they collect.Most people who go to yard sales, however, are not looking for anything special. They might buy an object simply because it costs so little. They enjoy negotiating over prices, even if they really do not need the object.1. “Bargain” in the passage may really mean ______.A. a useless or ugly thingB. a thing of great valueC. a thing bought at a lower price than its real valueD. a thing that is thrown away2. Which of the following isn’t necessary to have a yard sale?A. To put a paid announcement in the newspaper.B. To put up a “For Sale” sign.C. To have certain things old or no longer needed.D. To have a yard out of the house.3. Which of the following is NOT true?A. The price of the objects for sale isn’t fixed.B. Some people go to yard sales just for fun.C. Yard sales attract many people only because things there are cheap.D. A garage sale is the same as a yard sale.词数: about 280 难度: ★★建议用时: 3.5 minutesWith the wipers (刮雨刷) going full blast (最大马力地), Rhonda Richards could hardly see through her windshield(挡风玻璃). A cold rain was pouring on November 16, 2006, and now Leibs Creek had burst its banks and was rushing across Hollow Road in front of her. She slowed and stopped, engine running. Rhonda and her son Matt, 15, had come to pick up his five-year-old cousin, Jake, at a bus stop.Matt was fond of his cousin, a sensitive little kid. He liked to play with him and teach him stuff like wrestling moves. They played soccer together. Recently Matt and his father had taken Jake on a hunting trip. Out in the woods before dawn, the boys stood together and watched the sky lighten. It was awesome.As a yellow shape, headlights shining in the rain, appeared in the distance, Matt got out of the car to warn the driver that the road was flooded. Rhonda called to her son to watch himself. But the big, strong kid just pulled the hood (风帽) of his jacket over his head and got out of the car. He stepped into water that almost topped the new Timberland boots he’d saved up to buy. Matt struggled forward, waving his hands above his head. With every step, the stream grew deeper. Its power was surprising. He had a hard time keeping his balance.Rhonda watched Matt struggle up the road and glanced at the yellow bus moving slowly toward them. A hundred feet away, its bright caution lights (警示灯) blinked on as it slowed to a stop. Rhonda had Matt in the corner of her eye — then he disappeared.1. Rhonda Richards was at a bus stop to pick up ______.A. her cousinB. her sonC. her nephewD. the bus driver2. What does the underlined word “awesome” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Frightening.B.

AHello, my name is David and I'm a mobile-phone addict (手机迷). I am here today to face the truth about my condition and hope that by speaking out I can help others to overcome their own problems.The careless observer probably couldn’t find anything wrong with me. I have a respectable appearance and my behavior in public isn’t shocking or attracti ng.I hadn’t even realized myself that I was a mobile addict until the past few days. But I have just spent two of those days doing an experiment that has showed the terrible reality. I have suffered mentally and physically. And my experience has made me believe that I am only one of millions of fellow addicts.When I turned the phone on after two days I found I had three messages and four texts. OK, so I was a bit put out that there were not more. I had missed the chanceto do a phone interview that I had been trying to get for two weeks and an invitation to a last-minute lunch. Angry but to be honest, no more than that.However, I was relieved to have the phone back on. My fingers soon stopped twitching (颤抖) caused by not using the phone. I sent some unimportant texts and made a couple of meaningless calls and that cheered me up.I still believe that the phone is an important tool for work, but realize that otherwise it is often just a meaningless safety blanket “ Hi, darling. I'm on my way home. Just leaving the office now. Love you. Bye.〞So do I have the courage to stop using it as such? Of course I do. But I just choose not to.28. The writer’s purpose in writing the text is to________.A. make people know that he is a mobile-phone addict.B. tell us the mobile phone is a kind of useful toolC. inform us of the shortcomings of the mobile phones.D. help other mobile addicts overcome their problems29. During the two days when the mobile phone was turned off, the writer was_______.A. relievedB. cheerfulC. uncomfortableD. sad30. By saying “ I was a bit put out〞the writer probably means “I was________〞.A. gladB. angryC. confusedD. troublesome31. From the last paragraph, we can see that the writer will _______.A. throw away the mobile phoneB. stop using the mobile phoneC. still use the mobile phoneD. give the mobile phone to a needy personBMany people in high school can not wait to go to college and leave their hometowns behind. Questions arise, though, when it comes to all of the decisions involved in choosing a college.One of the first considerations may be finance. State and public colleges are often the least expensive. Often, though, the better colleges are private and more expensive. It is sad when gifted students cannot attend a college of their choice just for financial reasons.Another major factor is location. Whether the college is in a small town or large city can have a major impact on its activities. A water lover probably will be more comfortable spending four years near an ocean or a lake. Those who cannot tolerate heat will probably be more comfortable at a northern college. Distance from home may also come into consideration. If family is a top priority, that person should stay close to home; on the other hand, if independence is desired, a campus farther from home would be more appropriate.School size also plays a major role in the decision process. If you want toget to know your teachers, a small college is suitable. For those of you who consider yourself a “people person〞 and want a wide range of activities, a large college is more fitting. Your area of interest is another factor to consider in the decision-making process if you want to get the most from your education. The whole point of college is to learn what is of interest to you.Crucially(至关重要地), one must take into consideration the colleges by which you can realistically be accepted. An Ivy League school for an average student would probably not be a good match. Similarly, an average school for an above-average student would not work well. The college should provide enough of a challenge for the student to work hard. Although there may not be the perfect college out there, there probably will be one that is close. Those who cannot find a suitable college are probably not looking hard enough.32. When it comes to going to college the author thinks .A. students will become homesickB. students are unwilling to leave their homeC. financial situation is the first to considerD. students are eager to attend their ideal university33. What is the main idea of the third paragraph?A. The location of the college is a main factor.B. A long distance will make students upset.C. Students can be independent at college.D. The climate must be taken into consideration.34. What does the underlined part “people person〞 in the passage mean?A. A person of great capacityB. A very sociable personC. A very particular personD. A person of great importance35. Which is the most important factor when choosing a college?A. The location of a collegeB. School sizeC. The examination resultsD. the coming challenges.第二节〔一共5小题,每一小题3分,满分是15分〕根据短文内容,从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项,并在答题卷上将该项涂黑,选项里面有两项为多余选项。

However, there are more teenagers volunteering than having part-time jobs in America. They are even setting an example for their parents through their volunteer work.According to a recent national survey (调查), 56% of teenagers volunteer to support charities (慈善) and community services, while only 39% take part-time jobs to make money. Parents also say that 82% of teenagers do something to help others in their lives, such as donating (捐赠) money.Sara Johnson, a teacher of a private high school in Chicago, realizes that teenagers are more likely to participate in social activities. She said, "I think that kids are realizing how important it is." She saw a similar increase of teenagers' participation in social activities after Hurricane Katrina, and she believes that this generation of teenagers is more active in taking part in charities than her generation was. Unlike other public high schools, Illiana Christian does not require its students to do public services, but most of its students still volunteer. Ninety-five percent of students at Illiana Christian have decided to participate in a 30-hour fast (禁食期) in support of hungry children around the world. Suzanne Hammer, a junior, said, "I don't Understand why theydon't take part in if they can. I think everybody should make an effort to serve others." Food banks are also benefiting from the increase of teenager volunteers.1. What's the main idea of the text?A. More American teenagers volunteer.B. Part-time jobs are good for American teenagers.C.
