It was a Sunday morning, and I was in a terrible mood. Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn’t invited me．I was in my room thinking of ways to make them sorry when my father came in. “Want to go for a ride，today，Beck? It’s a beautiful day.”

         “No ! Leave me alone!”Those were the last words I said to him that morning．

         My friends called and invited me to go to the mall with them a few hours later．I forgot to be mad at them and went. I came home to find a note on the table. My mother put it where I would be sure to see it. “Dad has had an accident. Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital”．

    When I reached the hospital，my mother came out and told me my father’s injuries were extensive（大量）. “Your father told the driver to leave him alone and just call 911，thank God! If he had moved Daddy，there’s no telling what might have happened．A broken rib（肋骨）might have pierced（穿透）a lung….”

         My mother may have said more，but I didn’t hear．I didn’t hear anything except those terrible

words：Leave me alone．My dad said them to save himself from being hurt more．How much had I hurt him when I hurled(猛投) those words at him earlier in the day?

    It was several days later that he was finally able to have a conversation．I held his hand gently, afraid of hurting him．

         “Daddy… I am so sorry….”

         “It’s okay，sweetheart．I'll be okay．”

         “No，”I said，“I mean about what I said to you that day．You know, that morning?”

         My father could no more tell a lie than he could fly．He looked at me and said．“Sweetheart,

I don’t remember anything about that day， not before，during or after the accident.I remember kissing you good night the night before，though．”He managed a weak smile．

    My English teacher once told me that words have immeasurable power．They can hurt or they

can heal．And we all have the power to choose our words. I intend to do that very carefully from now on.

1.The author was in bad mood that morning because ________.

    A．his father had a terrible accident

    B．he couldn’t drive to the mall with his friends

    C．his friends hadn’t invited him to the cinema

    D．his father didn’t allow him to go out with his friends

科目：高中英語 來源：北京市第56中學(xué)2009-2010學(xué)年高一下學(xué)期期中考試試題（英語） 題型：閱讀理解


Stephen would take my literature lesson. After we introduced ourselves to each other, we talked about what the class would cover and all the things he would learn. It was a course in which he would learn a lot of facts and details in one term. As I talked, I saw Stephen’s eyes getting big with fear.
I told him to do his assignments (作業(yè)) and hand them in on time. I also told him that most successful students made a calendar of all the assignments so they could plan their work load.
As the fall term went by, I learned more of Stephen’s story. He had struggled in school. It had taken him longer to finish than most young people. Family members, including his mother, kept reminding him that he was a failure. But he kept at it. He told me that before coming to our school, no one had believed he had much potential (潛力).
Stephen didn’t become an “A” student. His name didn’t appear on any honors list. One reason was that he never did real well on tests. Still, he managed to pass most of his courses by being in class every day, turning in all of his assignments on time and breaking down his studying into bite-sized digestible portions (易理解的部分). By passing course after course he began to gain a measure of self-esteem (自尊). He was a great singer and he was on the school’s cross-country team.
Every time I saw him at school he would say, “One bite at a time.” His secret, he said, was that he was practicing what I taught him before classes ever started: “Take it one bite at a time.”
On graduation day, he said with a bright smile, “One bite at a time.”
65. Before Stephen began his class, _____.
A. the author had known him for a long time
B. the author told him something about his lessons
C. he was confident about his studies
D. he made a study plan
66. From the passage we can know that Stephen’s family _____.
A. kept encouraging him to continue his studies
B. thought he had much potential to study well
C. didn’t think he would do well at school
D. thought it would take him more time to study than others
67. What do we know about Stephen?
A. He was honored for his good results.    
B. He didn’t do anything except study.
C. He only broke down his literature lesson into bite-sized portions.
D. He tried his best to pass his courses.
68. Which of the following can best describe Stephen’s story?
A. Nothing is difficult to a willing heart.
B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. Well begun, half done.
D. Failure is the mother of success.

I came to study in the United States a year ago. Yet I did not know the American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court（法庭）.
After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, I'd have to have a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me to find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.
But every time I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time. The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215.
My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss（解雇）him. And he made me pay him $770.
Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance the date I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for time, and I left without getting a cent.
My experiences taught me two things about America: firstly, in a country like America money is everything. It is more important than friendship honour or professional morality（職業(yè)道德）. Secondly, foreigners are still being unfairly treated. So when we talk about America, we should see both its good and bad sides.
【小題1】The author's roommate offered to help him because_____.

A．he felt sorry for the author
B．he thought it was a chance to make some money
C．he knew the doctor was a very good one
D．he wanted the author to have a good lawyer
【小題2】 A good doctor is essential for the author to __________.
A．be properly treated
B．talk with the person responsible for the accident
C．recover before he leaves America
D．eventually get the responsible party to pay for his injury
【小題3】 The word "charge" in the passage means __________.
A．be responsibleB．a(chǎn)ccuse
C．a(chǎn)sk as a priceD．claim
【小題4】Both the doctor and the lawyer in this passage are very___.
A．friendlyB．greedy
C．professionalD．busy
【小題5】 What conclusion can you draw from this story?
A．Going to court is something every common in America
B．One must be very careful while driving a car
C．There are more bad sides in America than good sides
D．Money is more important than other things in the US
