(3分)(2019·温州) 阅读理解I live in Mentone, a quiet, simple, restful place, where the rich never come. I met Theophile Magnan,a retired, rich, old man from Lyons yesterday. In the Hotel des Anglais. Theophile looked sad and dreamy, and didn't talk with anybody else. Which brought me back to the past.A long time ago, Francois Millet. Claude, Carl and I were young artists — very young artists —in fact.Yes, Francois Millet. The great French artist, was my friend.Millet wasn't any greater than we were at that time. He didn't have any fame, even in his own village.We were all poor though we had stacks and stacks of as good pictures as anybody in Europe painted. Once a person ever offered four francs for Millet's "Angelus", which he intended to sell for eight.It was a fact in human history that a great artist would never be acknowledged* until after he was starved and dead. His pictures climbed to high prices after his death.Then we made a decision that one of us must die, to save the others and himself.Millet was elected to die.During the next three months Millet painted with all his might, enlarged his stock all he could, not pictures, not sketches,studies, parts of studies, fragments of studies, of course, with his cipher * on them.They were the things to be sold.Carl went to Paris to start the work of building up Millet's name. Claude and I went to sell Millet's small pictures and to build up his name as well.We made Millet a master. I always said to my customer, "I am a fool to sell a picture of Francois Millet's at all, for he is not going to live three months, and when he dies his pictures can't be had for love or money."Claude and I took care to spread that little fact as far as we could.Carl made friends with the correspondents, and got Millet's condition reported to England and all over the continent, and America, and everywhere.The sad end came at last, Millet died, not really. He became Theophile Magnan.The pictures went up. There's a man in Paris today who owns seventy Millet pictures. He paid us two million francs for them. Do you still remember the "Angelus"? Carl sold it for twenty—two hundred francs. And as for the bushels of sketches and studies which Millet produced in the last six weeks, well, it would astonish you to know the figure we sell them at nowadays.We are no longer artists and Millet dead.(1) Why did the four friends decide to elect one of them to die?A . They wanted to be rich.B . They wanted to be famous.C . They wanted to save money.D . They wanted to be respected.(2) Which of the following statements is TRUE about the passage?A . The writer lives a busy life in Mentone.B . Millet was finally made a famous artist.C . Millet painted best among the four friends.D . The story was written in memory of Millet.(3) What made the four friends' plan succeed?A . That they didn't want to be artists any longer.B . That Millet's pictures were sold at very high prices.C . People's attitude towards the artists who were starving.D . People's desire to own precious art works at low prices.(4) Is Millet living or dead? Why?(请用约40词回答)2. (10分)(2019·江西模拟) 阅读理解It was summertime. Donna walked into the classroom." Good afternoon, everybody!" That was a joke Donna told every day. Usually the class started with only two or three students in the classroom, and then the other students came as the minutes went by.Donna knew that the students didn't like studying English. The head teacher had told her the reason. The students thought English was confusing.Donna waited until all the students were sitting in their seats. She smiled and said," Okay, well. Let's get started. Please turn to Page 36. Today we're studying participles as adjectives(分词作形容词). Students often feel confused when they learn about the present and past participles, so we need to practice a lot. Today, we're just going to practice using present participles as adjectives." Donna looked at all the blank faces around the classroom. Then she wrote two sentences on the blackboard."The present participle tells us what kind of emotion thesubject(主语)is causing. For example, when we say 'grammar is boring', we mean that the subject—grammar —causes an emotion of boredom. If we say, 'The movie is interesting', we are saying that the movie causes an emotion of interest. Any questions so far? Is anyone confused?"The classroom was quiet. Donna knew it would take some time for everyone to understand what she was talking about. After a while, Donna got a little excited because she saw looks of understanding on some of the students' faces.(1) When did the story take place ?A . On a spring morning.B . On a winter afternoon.C . On a summer afternoon.D . On an autumn evening.(2)How did Donna explain the usage of present participles as adjectives ?A . By telling a story.B . By asking questions.C . By giving examples.D . By showing a movie.(3) Why was the classroom quiet ?A . Because the students were afraid of Donna.B . Because Donna asked the students to be quiet.C . Because the students were doing their homework.D . Because the students didn't understand what Donna was saying.(4) From the passage, we can learn that Donna was a .A . teacherB . hostC . writerD . reporter3. (8分)阅读理解A young woman turns around and around quickly, and jumps high. In the background, a young girl reads a rejection(拒绝)letter from a ballet school." You have the wrong body for ballet," it says, " and at thirteen, you are too old." This was one of the most popular advertisements(广告)of 2014 and it describes American Ballet Theatre's principal(主要的)dancer Misty Copeland.This was not a real letter. But Copeland says it is very similar to letters from her childhood. While many dancers start at the age of three, Copeland only began to study ballet in 1995 as a thirteenyear--old girl. People often told her that she was too old,or that she didn't have the perfect body type(She is only 157 cm tall). Her family moved a lot, and it was sometimes difficult for her to attend ballet classes. But Copeland loved dancing and did not want to give up. She stayed with her ballet teacher during the week and spent time with her family only at the weekend. This was a difficult life, but she worked hard and won her first national competition when she was fourteen years old. Copeland joined the American Ballet Theatre in 2000 and performed in many ballets over the next few years. In 2007, she became a solo(单独的) performer, and in 2015 she became its principal dancer.Copeland is now a dancer, author and Broadway performer. She also starred in the 2015 film A Ballerina's Tale. So what's next? According to Copeland, anything is possible:My career(职业)really is just now beginning.(1) How old was Copeland when she became the principal dancer?A . 13.B . 14.C . 25.D . 33.(2)Why was it difficult for Copeland to attend ballet classes?A . Because her family moved a lot.B . Because she was not a good dancer.C . Because she had no invitation letter.D . Because she had the wrong body type.(3)Which of the following is TURE according to the passage?A . Copeland became successful because of the advertisement.B . Copeland had to spend a lot of time away from her parents.C . Copeland won her first national competition as a solo performer.D . Copeland has ended up her career as an actress on Broadway.(4) What's the writer's opinion of Copeland?A . Copeland sets an example who never gives up.B . Copeland was too old to start ballet at thirteen.C . Copeland has made her achievements by accident.D . Copeland was lucky to get support from the ballet school.参考答案一、阅读理解 (共3题;共21分)1、答案:略2、答案:略3、答案:略。

One morning, the son came up to him and said, "Dad, I read books at night but forget most of them the next morning. What's the good of reading?"The father didn't reply to his question at once. He passed him a basket that was used to carry coal. He said, "Get some water from the river with the basket and then I'll tell you the answer."The son felt surprised but he did as his father said. He tried many times but every time the water leaked (漏掉) from the basket.An hour later, the son came back with the empty basket and told his father it was impossible to hold water with the basket. The father said with a smile. "Yes, you are right, my son. The basket can't hold water. But did you notice the basket was different?" The son found the dirty basket had become clean. The father continued, "Reading is like holding water with the basket. Although we can't remember all we read, we have changed while reading."(1) The father was used to reading in the morning.(2) The son wondered if reading was good for him.(3) The father didn't answer his son's question because he thought it was stupid.(4) The basket had no difference after the son used it to get water from the river.(5) From the passage, we know that reading can make a difference to a person.2.

I look for certain qualities(品质)of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability.Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend.

If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. . We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who arc fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humour, too.He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends.

(8分)阅读理解A fish that lives in America can live out of water for months at a time, similar to how animals got used to land millions of years ago, a new study shows.The Mangrove Rivulets, a kind of little fish, lives in small pools of water. When their living place dries up, they live on the land, said Scott Taylor, a researcher in Florida.The fish can grow as large as three inches. They group together and breathe air through their skin before they can find water again.The new scientific discovery came during a trip."We were travelling for fun. And one day I kicked over a log (圆木) and the fish came out." Taylor told reporters by telephone. He said he would make his study on the fish known to the public in an American magazine early next year.In lab tests, Taylor said he found the fish can live up to 66 days out of water without eating.Some other fish can live out of water for a short period of time. The walking catfish found in Southeast Asia can stay on land for hours at a time, while lungfish(肺鱼) found in Australia, Africa and South America can live out of water, but only in a not active(活跃的) way. But no other known fish can be out of water as long as the Mangrove Rivulets and keep active, according to Patricia Wright, a biologist at a Canadian University.More studies of the fish may tell how animals changed over time."These animals live in conditions similar to those millions of years ago, when animals began to move from water onto land." Wright said.(1)The Mangrove Rivulets is a type of fish that .A . lives on land in AfricaB . can stay alive for months out of waterC . prefers living in dry placesD . is the longest living fish on earth(2)Who will write a report on Mangrove Rivulets?A . Scott Taylor.B . Some reporters.C . Patricia Wright.D .

The Mangrove Rivulets fish can live out of water as long as other animals if it has something to eat.B . Millions of years ago, animals began to live onto land from water.C . Lungfish found in Australia, Africa and South America can live out of water in a not active way.D . The walking catfish found in Southeast Asia can stay on land for hours at a time.(5)What can we say about the discovery of Mangrove Rivulets?A .

One windy spring day, I noticed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites. Colorful creations of different shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds flying and dancing. As the strong winds blew against the kites, a string (线) kept them in control.Instead of blowing away with the wind, they rose against it to achieve great heights. They shook and pulled, but the restraining (控制的) string and the cumbersome (笨重的) tail kept them in control, facing upward and against the wind. As the kites struggled against the string, they seemed to say, "Let me go! Let me go! I want to be free!" They rose beautifully even when they fought the restriction of the string. Finally, one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose (松散的). "Free at last," it seemed to say. "Free to fly with the wind."Yet freedom (自由) simply put it in the control of an unkind wind. It fell down to the ground and landed in a mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. "Free at last", free to lie powerlessly in the dirt, to be blown helplessly along the ground, and to stop lifelessly against the first obstacle (障碍物).How much like kites we sometimes are. The Heaven gives us adversity (逆境) and rules, rules to follow from which we can grow and get strength. Some of us break away from the rules so hard that we never reach the heights we might get to. We keep part of the rules and never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground.Let us each rise to the great heights, knowing that some of the rules that we may be angry about are in fact the strong force that helps us achieve.(1)Why does the writer write the first paragraph?A . Because it was the first time that he had seen young people flying kites.B . Because he wants to share his feelings in nature with the readers.C . Because he wants to tell the readers how to make beautiful kites.D . Because he wants to use readers' similar life experience to understand the article better.(2)By writing the second and third paragraphs, the writer seems to let the readers know ________.A . anyone who wants no restraints is sure to be a sad endB . what a pity it is that one kite flew down to the groundC . man with freedom can't be like that kite which fell downD . the unkind wind is the cause of the fallen kite's failure(3)What does the underlined word "restriction" in the second paragraph probably mean?A . controlB . freedomC . shakeD . guide(4)In the writer's opinion, ________.A . without restrictions and rules we can make endless progressB . kites are good examples to those who want to get freedomC . restrictions are necessary for us human beingsD . we don't need any freedom at all3. (8分)“The zoo has money problem,” Grandmother Sandy said.Angel listened. She heard that Fresno’s Chaffee Zoo didn’t have enough money to take care of its animals.Angel loved animals. She planned to study them when she grew up. Angel’s family h ad four cats. Angel took good care of them and made sure that they always had food and water.Angel felt sorry for the zoo animals. While the others in the family were cooking dinner, Angel was cooking up a way to help the animals. She decided to write a letter to show how she felt. At the end of the letter, she wrote: “Give a dollar, help an animal.” She sent the letter and a dollar to The Fresno Bee, a local newspaper.A few days after that, Angel’s letter was published. Almost immediately, people began s ending in money. Angel's letter was having effect!At school, Angel went to each classroom to read the letter that appeared on the newspaper. She asked students in her school to give money to the zoo. Next, Angel was asked to appear on television. She was invited to be on a popular talk show.The workers in the zoo were very happy.

(8分)If you go to Finland, you’ll be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high class Benz with a fare (票价) of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then get off without paying your fare. And the driver would not show the least sign of worry.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends and dine free of charge.With so many loopholes (漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “pretty advantages”. But the strange things is, all the taxi-passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. As the Finns always act on good faith and always show an attitude of “which is which” and “what is what” in everything they do, so to live in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”. In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there forpeople to take precautions (预防措施) against others?(1)The word “foolish” probably means _____________.A . friendlyB . carefulC . strangeD . funny(2)Why wouldn’t the driver show the least sign of worry? Because _________.A . he is sure that the passengers always act on good faithB . he is afraid to make the passengers angry and unhappyC . he thinks the passengers may be too poor to pay himD . he is sure that the passengers are really in trouble(3)The dining rooms in all big hotels ___________.A . check the guests’ registration card carefullyB . give people meals without payingC . serve their guests free of chargeD . only serve their guests free breakfast(4)What’s FALSE according to the passage?A . No one takes advantages although there are many loopholes.B . All the taxi-passengers come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business.C . Not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms.D . Finland is heaven for immoral people because they can always take advantages freely.(5)The sentences “which is which” and “what is what” show that __________.A . the Finns are foolishB . the Finns take things seriouslyC . the Finns are busy making money for the familyD . the Finns never take precaution against others5. (8分)In the mid 1990s, people started doing business on the Internet. At that time, there were two kinds of companies. First, there were traditional companies which sold things in stores. Then, there were Internet companies which didn't have stores, they sold things only over the Net.Traditional companies didn't want to lose any business. Quickly, they created their own websites and began selling things over the Net. These are the so-called "brick and click" companies. Many stores are made of brick, and you click on your mouse to buy things w ith your computer. That’s where the name "brick and click" comes from.By the late 1990s, e-businesses like , , and were in trouble. Their profits(利润) were not very high, and there was a lot of competition. Many of these businesses lost a lot of money, and in 2000, many e-businesses were out of business.In the world of e-commerce(电子商务), companies are fighting for every dollar and every customer. Will brick and click companies win the war? Only time will tell.(1)Many traditional companies created their own websites in .A . the early l990sB . the mid l990sC . the late l990sD . 1990s(2)Why were Internet companies in a lot of trouble in the late 1990s?A .

(8分)阅读理解Last night, a school night, my 11-year-old son's baseball team played a game that lasted until 9:30. By the time we got home and he had a quick dinner and shower, it was 10:30-an hour and a half later than a child who gets up at 6:30 should be going to bed. We love baseball. My son is having fun, getting exercise, and learning patience, teamwork and sports spirit. But the truth is that the game also influences his sleep.As parents, we want good things for our children. We want them to be healthy both in body and in mind. To this end, we look for ways to help our kids grow and develop. We help them with their homework. We sign them up for dance, soccer and baseball. We encourage our kids to take honors courses(培优课程)or to have after-school jobs. And we praise them for hard-earned success and achievements.However, the irony is that all of these activities and responsibilities that we are giving our children to make their lives colorful could be badly influencing their health and taking happiness away. Activities, responsibilities, and goals are good. But if we want our kids to realize their full physical, learning and social ability, sleep is important. We have to start taking sleep seriously.Parents make bedtime routines and carry out(执行)strict rules about nighttime. But in fact, these measures(措施)aren't enough because getting our kids, enough sleep isn't just about carrying out stricter bedtime. It actually requires more than that. In order to ensure our kids get the sleep they need, bout parents and schools should make an effort.(1)From the passage we know the writer's son ________.A . isn't good at sportsB . wastes time every nightC . can't get enough sleepD . always hangs out with friends(2)What does the underlined word "irony" mean in Chinese?A . 光荣B . 骄傲C . 讽刺D . 公正(3)What does the writer think of taking honors courses at last?A . Boring.B . Unnecessary.C . Interesting.D . Enjoyable.(4)How can we make sure kids get enough sleep according to the write?A . By making the children's lives colorful.B . By refusing all the after-school activities.C . By carrying out strict rules about bedtime.D . By making an effort from parents and schools.(5)What would the writer probably talk about in the following paragraph?A . Advice on how to sleep well.B . Ways of changing kids' education.C .

But they are not real stars. They are man-made satellites. And the biggest of all is the International Space Station (ISS). From May to July, it is the best season to watch the ISS flying over the earth. And people can see it with their eyes during the time.The scientists want to live on the ISS. They think that the best way to learn more about space is to live there.When the space station is finished, it will be like a city in space. People will stay and study there with many of the things they have at home. Laboratories, living rooms and power stations are being built. The ISS is the most expensive program. Billions of dollars are spent on it every year. Scientists hope that the ISS will be a stepping stone for future space exploration. "The ISS will be more useful some day. The ISS will help us understand the human body better, explore space and study the earth. It can help us make life on the earth better," said Kathryn Clark, an ISS scientist.Sixteen countries are part of the space program, the US, Russia, Canada, Japan, Brazil, and 11 European countries. China isn't an ISS country, but it has helped with some of the experiments. In 2003, China sent some rice up to the ISS to find out what space would do to it.(1) From the first paragraph, we can learn .A . we can't see the ISS with our eyesB .

(6分)阅读理解Saying no starts small"All right then — just one more piece..." Words every girl has said when they are faced with the delicious cheesecake. Of course, many of us know we may eat the whole thing in the end.It isn't just girls. Most of us find it hard to say "no" to something attractive. However, scientists now say that willpower is very important to success and a happy life.Scientists in different countries have been studying the effects of willpower on people's lives for a long time. The results are similar, according to an article on February 7 in the Guardian, a famous British newspaper.In one experiment, scientists told young children that they could either have a marshmallow (圆形软糖) now, or two marshmallows in 15 minutes. Waiting obviously needed more willpower. Scientists then continued studying the children as they grew up. They wanted to see if some children always had stronger willpower. They also wanted to see how having stronger willpower affected their lives.Years later, scientists found that the children who had waited for two marshmallows were all healthier, happier and richer adults. Oppositely, the children who had shown weaker willpower at that young age were more likely to be in low-paid jobs, to be overweight, to have social problems.But there is hope, Roy F Baumeister, an American social psychology(心理学) professor (教授) told the Guardian. Baumeister says we can train our willpower just like we train our muscles(肌肉). Even a little practice can strengthen(加强) our overall self-control if we do it regularly.You could start by making yourself stand up straight, speaking in complete sentences, or using a computer mouse with the other hand. Scientists have found that people who manage to change little habits often perform much better in laboratory willpower tests.Like muscles, willpower can "get tired". Don't try to do too many things at the same time, or when you don't have enough energy, for example when you are ill. If you already feel tired, you can try to recharge(恢复) your willpower with a good night's sleep and by eating well.(1) The example of a girl eating cheesecake is used toA . prove that girls have weak willpowerB . introduce the topic of willpower to the readersC . show that cheesecake is especially attractive to girlsD . show the connection between willpower and success(2) What can we infer from the experiment?A . The scientists had already known the results before the experiment.B . It showed that willpower is the most important to success and a happy life.C . The children who chose to wait were more likely to be successful in their lives.D . The children who chose only one marshmallow at first had stronger willpower.(3) Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the training of willpower?A . You should have a goal every day.B . Good rest and proper diet can help.C . Willpower needs to be exercised regularly.D . Keep willpower from being used too much.(4) What is the article mainly about?A . How willpower and muscles are similar and how they can be trained.B . How willpower affects people's lives and how it is similar to muscles.C . How willpower is important to success and how we can make it stronger.D . How willpower is connected with success and how they affect each other4. (10分)(2018·武汉) 阅读理解CFrom a young age, I've had a really deep connection with being outside. I've been skiing since I was eight or nine years old. I've been on expeditions(探险)in many places like China, Pakistan and so on. But it was in my home country, the USA, that I came closest to death.It was Apri1 1, 2011. I was skiing in the Tetons with my friends Jeremy and Xavier, both experienced snowboarders. That day, I was the last person to ski. They were watching me from a safe area. Suddenly,I heard someone cry loudly I turned around and saw the whole mountain start to move behind me. It wasa massive avalanche(大雪崩). The kind of avalanche that destroys trees, cars, buses, even houses! Tens of thousands of tons of snow were coming straight down the mountain behind me. I felt the snow push me forward, hundreds of meters, and then cover me. It was so heavy that I couldn't breathe. And then it pushed me forward again and up, out of the snowpack. I looked around, and for a few seconds I actually stopped being terrified. I had a moment to pause and to look at the power of the avalanche.I looked down into the bottom of the valley(峡谷). I could see trees that were 30m tall because I was so far away, they looked tiny to me.“OK, I' m going all the way to the bottom!” I thought. Then the snow pushed me again down the mountain another 450m I thought the force of the Snow would destroy me, it was powerful. But in the end, I felt the avalanche slow down and I just popped (迸出)right out of the snow at the bottom of the valley.It took Jeremy and Xavier about 20 minutes to reach me. There was a pile of debris(碎片)across the bottom of the mountain 300m wide. They couldn't believe it when they saw me. I was so lucky.Has the experience changed me? Do I think about life differently? I don't know, maybe. But I don'tknow that it's important to live your life with meaning.

DSocial customs and ways of behaving change all the time. Things that were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered to be impolite behavior for a man to smoke on the street. No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in the room.Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn't matter? What about table manners?The Americans and British people not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England, people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seats to women, and so will most Americans. Promptness(及时) is important both in England and in America. That is, the dinner guest either arrives close to the time that has been made or calls up to explain his delay(耽误).The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable—especially if they are your guests. There is an old story about a man who gave a very formal dinner party. When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. The other guests were amused or greatly surprised, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.(1)The underlined phrase "make a fool of himself" in the first paragraph means .A . make himself strongB . make himself richC . make himself comfortableD . cause himself to seem like a fool(2)According to the passage, the American and the British .A . don't speak the same languageB . don't have social customs in commonC . do share a lot of social customsD . do have the exactly same social customs(3)If a dinner invitation is for six o'clock,the guest is supposed to arrive at six.A . nearly or a minute or two later thanB . a quarter pastC . a quarter toD . much later than(4)The last example in the passage shows .A . the correct way to use a knife at tableB . that it is good manners not to make your guest feel foolish or uncomfortableC . that social customs and ways of behaving change too fastD . that different countries have different customs(5)The best title of the passage is .A . Different CustomsB . Social CustomsC . Customs are Changing FastD . Different Countries, Different Customs2. (8分)根据短文内容的理解,选择正确答案。

Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no further.So the man decided to help the butterfly. He cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon so that the butterfly could come out easily. But to his surprise, the butterfly got a heavy body and very small wings when it came out of the cocoon.The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that the body would grow smaller at any moment and the wings would become larger and be able to fly. But neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling (爬) around with a heavy body and small wings. It was never able to fly.The man was in his kindness, but he did not understand the nature rules. Before the butterfly came out of the cocoon, fluid (流体) from its body must be forced into its wings, and then it would be ready for flying. It must have a hard struggle (拼搏) to get through the small opening to get its freedom from the cocoon.Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life.

(8分)阅读理解(A)Americans will long remember President Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States.At the age of 19, Abraham Lincoln took a boat down the Ohio River to New Orleans. There Lincoln saw for the first time slaves being sold in the marketplace. At that time, Lincoln made up his mind to work to end slavery for the rest of his life.In 1836, Lincoln became a lawyer and was famous for being hard-working and honest. He believed that the US stood for freedom for all. He wanted to become a senator (参议员). In 1858, Lincoln debated(争论) against Stephen Douglas who was also a candidate for the Senate from Illinois.Because of the Lincoln-Douglas debates, Lincoln became known across the country. Then he decided to run for the presidency in 1860. At last he ran against Stephen Douglas and two other candidates.Lincoln took the oath (誓言) of office to become president of the United States on March 4, 1861. It was a difficult time to be president. Many southern states did not agree with Lincoln about canceling slavery, and declared(宣布) that they were no longer part of the US. The famous Civil War began in April,1861.Lincoln's Union Army fought the Southern Confederate Armies. Many soldiers were killed in the battles. One of the battles took place in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. In 1863, a ceremony was held to memorize the dead on the Gettysburg battlefield. Lincoln made a famous speech known as the Gettysburg Address.Unfortunately, Lincoln was shot while watching a play at Ford's Theatre and passed away on the morning of April 15, 1865.根据短文内容,选择正确答案。

(8分)阅读理解Some researchers explain how most people form their social groups with people of their age. Especially, as children and teenagers, even adults, people make their friends based on proximity (邻近) more than anything else. Even in a college classroom, the students may not make friends with those who have similar personalities and interests. It's the people they really sit next to. Clearly, who stands to you has the greatest influence on you. As Jim Rohn has widely said. "You are average (平均) of five people you spend the most little with."Over the past ten months, I've paid Ryan, it Famous writer of several bestselling books, to help with the book I'm writing. Working with him has shown me just how low my standards for my work are. For example, every time I send him a drab (草稿), he shows me how it could be 10 times better, and he holds me to that standard.▲It's because that I don't know what I don't know. Working with Ryan has made me realize what is possible and what it takes to create something powerful.Like Ryan, my business partner Richard has wonderful ideas and far different experience than I have. He has written 36 New York Times Bestsellers. He's been speaking and doing events for 20 years. Richard always performs at high levels, and he is also very strict with me because my performance is a reflection (反映) on him. It's not a bad thing because it creates high pressure (压力) to help me make great progress in organizing author training.In a word, you need to stay with those people who can help you realize your level and potential. Staying with people who have higher standards is the fastest way for you to change. If you don't change your environment, your progress will be very slow. Who you stay with has huge importance. You can't ignore this.(1)Why did the writer quote (引用) Jim Rohn's words in Paragraph 1?A . To support the writer's opinion.B . To introduce the writer's best friend.C . To show Jim Rohn's working ability.D . To prove Jim Rohn is a great person.(2)Which of the following can be put at the beginning of Paragraph 3?A . It's not that my workmates' abilities are low.B . It's not that my working ability was born low.C . It's not that' e friends based on proximity.D . It's not that I've paid Ryan to help me with my book.(3)What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 4 refer to (指代)?A . The writer's performance.B . Jim Rohn's famous saying.C . Richard's different experience.D . Richard's strictness with the writer.(4)The writer mainly wants to tell us that ________________.A . we can improve our working abilities by ourselvesB . we must pay attention to our talent and potentialC . we'd better make friends with those who can hold us to higher levelsD . we should stay with those who have similar personalities and interests二、任务型阅读(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分) (共1题;共10分)5.

He sat there for several hours andwatched the butterfly. Suddenly a small opening appeared, and the butterfly made its great effort to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no further.So the man decided to help the butterfly. He cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon so that thebutterfly could come out easily. But to his surprise, the butterfly got a heavy body and very small wings when it came out of the cocoon.The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that the body would grow smaller atany moment and the wings would become larger and be able to fly. But neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling (爬) around with a heavy body and small wings. It was never ableto fly.The man was in his kindness, but he did not understand the nature rules. Before the butterfly came out of the cocoon, fluid (流体) from its body must be forced into its wings, and then it would be readyfor flying. It must have a hard struggle (拼搏) to get through the small opening to get its freedom fromthe cocoon.Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If God allowed us to go through our life without any difficulties, it would make us fail. We would not be as strong as we could have been; we could never fly.(1)What was the butterfly doing at the beginning of the story?A . It was crawling around quietly on the ground.B .
