2.and

3.neither /nor /or

4.whoever

5.with

6.succeeded

7.biggest

8.an

9.curiously

10.what

【解析】

試題分析：

1.interviewed 這里應(yīng)填謂語動詞的過去時，HR manager: 人力資源部經(jīng)理。

2.and “Do sth., and sb./sth. will…”是一個常見句型，例如：Use your head, and you’ll find a way.

3.neither /nor /or 若上句是否定句，則后一句常用neither或nor表示“也不，也沒有”。 另外，在否定句中的并列連詞不用and多用or。

4.whoever 在這里作主語引導(dǎo)主語從句，整句意思是“凡是不存在的人都不能擁有這份工作。”

5.with with no hope at all= without any hope: 不懷任何希望。

6.succeeded 此處缺少謂語動詞。

7.biggest 這里應(yīng)該用形容詞的最高級形式，在one of the + 形容詞+名詞的結(jié)構(gòu)里，形容詞應(yīng)是最高級形式，例如：She is one of the most diligent students in our class.

8.an an insurance broker：一個保險經(jīng)紀人

9.curiously 這里應(yīng)填副詞作狀語修飾動詞replied。

10.what 引導(dǎo)賓語從句，在從句中作have been的表語。整個賓語從句用了虛擬語氣，意思是：“要是你有email，那你又該成了什么樣的人哪？”

As a first –year teacher at a Christian school ,I was expecting my fifth grade students to be prefect , perfect in behavior , in attitude , and I even expected the home-life of each student to be nearly perfect .

Mistakes are a part of life. To err is human. Failure is also a part of life, not the end of life. Be happy facing life’s challenges. When you make the effort to be happy and to improve your life, you are actually rewarded along the way.

Life is like a game and maybe you can award(獎勵) points for every effort that has been a success for you. Try it. Add ten points for every achievement. And when you have reached 50 points, just yell, “ Hey, I’ve won!” and give yourself a reward. If you happen to have missed your points for whatever reason, tell yourself, “Well, I tried!” which is better than not trying at all. Don’t let it be said you didn’t try.

What is it that you want to make yourself happy? Actually happiness means different things to different people. For example, an athlete will be happy winning his first race. For a new mother happiness would be seeing her baby’s first steps. Happiness for a poor person would mean having a meal just for today. So happiness for you is really something simple that you want for yourself.

It really doesn’t have to be big. As a matter of fact you should always have realistic expectations. Make the best out of every given situation. If you expect a certain result from a situation and it does not happen, don’t get despondent. This just means trying harder next time. We all have in us the power to succeed. Don’t let “ give up ” be a part of your vocabulary.

1.By saying “To err is human”, the author means that________.

A. human beings should try to avoid(避免) making mistakes

2..What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?

A. Try to reach 50 points.

A. examples    B. numbers    

C. experiments     D. stories

4. The underlined word “ despondent ” in the last paragraph means________.

A. frightened    B. disappointed

科目：高中英語 來源：2015屆山西省高二5月月考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

The Swiss army knife is a popular device that is recognized all over the world. In Switzerland, there is a saying that every good Swiss citizen has one in his or her pocket. But the knife had poor beginnings.

In the late nineteenth century, the Swiss army issued（發(fā)給） its soldiers a gun that required a special screwdriver（螺絲刀） to take it apart and clean it. At the same time, canned food was becoming common in the army. Swiss generals decided to issue each soldier a standard knife to serve both as a screwdriver and a can opener.

It was a lifesaver for Swiss knife makers, who were struggling to compete with cheaper German imports. In 1884, Carl Elsener, head of the Swiss knife manufacturer（maker） Victorinox, seized that opportunity with both hands, and designed a soldier's knife that the army loved. It was a simple knife with one big blade(刀片), a can opener, and a screwdriver.

A few years after the soldier's knife was issued, the "Schweizer Offizier Messer," or Swiss Officer's Knife, came on the market. Interestingly, the Officer's Knife was never given to those serving in the army. The Swiss army purchasers considered the new model with a corkscrew（瓶塞鉆） for opening wine not "essential for survival," so officers had to buy this new model by themselves. But its special multi-functional design later launched(發(fā)行) the knife as a global brand. After the Second World War, a great number of American soldiers were stationed in Europe. And as they could buy the Swiss army knife at shops on army bases, they bought huge quantities of them. However, it seems that "Schweizer Offizier Messer" was too difficult for them to say, so they just called it the Swiss army knife, and that is the name it is now known by all over the world.

1.What is the main purpose of the passage­?

A. To explain the origin of the Swiss army knife.

B. To introduce the functions of the Swiss army knife.

C. To emphasize the importance of the Swiss army knife.

D. To tell a story about the designer of the Swiss army knife.

2.What does "It" in the third paragraph refer to­?

A. The Swiss army needed a knife for every soldier.

B. Every good Swiss citizen had a knife in his pocket.

C. Swiss knives were competing with imported knives.

D. Canned food was becoming popular in the Swiss army.

3.Why didn't the Swiss army purchase the Swiss Officer's Knife­?

A. The design of the knife was too simple.

B. The knife was sold out to American soldiers.

C. The army had no budget to make the purchase.

D. The new design was not considered necessary for officers to own.

4.Who gave the name "the Swiss army knife" to the knife discussed in the passage­?

A. Carl Elsener.B. Swiss generals.

C. American soldiers. D. German businessmen.

科目：高中英語 來源：2015屆山東高三上學(xué)期月考（1）英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Being a senior high school student, my future is always on my mind. To be exact, thoughts of the future have kept me up countless nights and made me worry enough to do poorly on more than one test. Because of this, words of wisdom are a source of comfort. Steve Jobs gave a speech to Stanford’s graduating class in 2005 and his words resound repeatedly in my mind whenever I think about my future.

It started when I became a junior, when college came into view. It’s the first big step to making your life your own. So when Jobs discussed his life as a student, some fears were eased. He also felt the need to attend college to make something of himself. He faced what many are extremely afraid of: uncertainty. His lack of understanding caused him to stop attending college and focus on what he felt was important. His story had a happy ending, of course, since he certainly turned out well.

This doesn’t mean that students shouldn’t attend college, but rather that they shouldn’t worry so much. You'll get where you need to go, even if your path is a bit more winding than you'd like.

Jobs talked about the hardships in his work. His love of his work helped him carry on and he got where he was meant to be, which restates the point: don’t panic. One particular part of his speech stayed with me. Steve Jobs quoted the saying “Stay hungry, stay foolish” and it has become my motto. Staying foolish is realizing that you are still a fool, no matter how much you've learned or experienced. There is always more to explore. Staying hungry is wanting to find those things about which you are still uneducated.

Steve Jobs’ level of success is possible to achieve, and I aim to prove that. With the will power to go into the world living every day like it’s my last and allowing the future to take care of itself, I will do great things. In the last moments of my life, I’ll be proud of what I have done and hope to have all the wisdom a person could wish for.

1.The author felt worried when_______.

A. he had to take tests at school

B. he had lots of sleepless nights

C. he thought about his future

D. he searched for words of wisdom

2.It is suggested in Paragraphs l and 2 that________.

A. the author is a college student

B. the author cares much about his future

C. Steve Jobs failed because of his decision

D. Steve Jobs' words had no effect on the author

3.What did the author gain from Jobs’ speech?

A. Courage to drop out of school

B. Confidence in defeating Jobs.

C. Interest in computer industry.

D. Bravery to face uncertainties.

4.Which of the following suggestions was NOT mentioned in Job’s speech ?

A. Being content with what they know.

B. Having the desire to learn more.

C. Staying calm in the face of hardships

D. Being modest so as to learn more.

5.The passage is mainly about_______.

A. an experience of a speech

B. the most impressive quotation in life

C. a memorable meeting with Jobs

D. the wisdom drawn from a speech
