What I noticed first about my new parrot, Chico, was that he couldn’t fly. His wings had been cut short and he was stuck on the 1 just like us humans. When the weather turned nice, I took Chico outside. I sat him on a branch of a tree, hoping to make him 2 . At first he seemed 3 . He walked back and forth on the branch looking anxious or nervous. He didn’t even flap his wings in an attempt to fly. Somehow he knew he was 4 .
One day Chico got especially excited . He paced back and forth and made an incredible amount of 5 . Then all of a sudden he stopped and let out an even louder scream. He started 6 flapping his wings for the first time ever － then he lifted off the 7 like a space shuttle! I was amazed and 8 . Little did I know his feathers had been growing back, and Chico had been 9 until the moment was ripe for escape!
Two days later Chico 10 . First I tried to trick him back with food, but he would not come near me. Then I took his 11 and put it away—still he would not come. Finally, I made him a firm promise that I would let him 12 every day the weather was nice if he did come back. 13 , he flew onto my shoulder.
From that day on, whenever the weather was good I would let him out early and he would fly around and be back before dark. The 14 lasted for two months before suddenly Chico became 15 . The vet said that he had been infected with a disease from the pigeons in the neighborhood. Within a few days he died.
I was very sad. The 16 crossed my mind that if I had not set him free to fly, he would be still alive. But what 17 is there in being a bird if you can’t fly?
Chico made his first break for 18 on a late Monday afternoon in April. When will you make yours? You too can take a 19 when the conditions are right, knowing you too, in your own way, were built to fly. If you don’t 20 , what will be the purpose of your life?

春雨教育同步作文系列答案科目：高中英語 來源：重慶市一中2010屆高三下學(xué)期第一次考前模擬考試英語試卷 題型：閱讀理解
三、閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分）
請閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A, B, C和D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該選項的標(biāo)號涂黑。
When I get off the bus, I’m usually greeted by the sounds of news on CNN. My father welcomes me, and I help him with the usual things—changing the channel and some other tasks. My father has a disease that makes him unable to walk. Despite his disability, my father has always been my role model.
In my first year at middle school, my grades slipped greatly. My father told me I could improve. I currently maintain a B plus average, and he confidently supports me in all my academic efforts. He is against violence to the best of his ability. Love is his most important tool,and he makes sure we know that violence is never the answer.
He urges me not to fear,but to believe in what I think is right.“No matter what anyone tells me,”he says,“I believe what I choose. If someone is discriminating against you for who you are, they don’t deserve your time.”My friends are the most caring people I’ve met, because I realize that they don’t judge me, and they like me as I am.
I’ve always found it strange that people pity me because of my father’s condition. He’s not inferior(次于) to anyone. His disease doesn’t hold him back. He’s normal person.
When I see disabled people out in public, I consider them equal to any other individual. No one is superior to anyone for any physical reason. I’ve known that from that day on, thanks to my dad.
“Anything else?”I’ll ask.
“No, that’s fine.”
As I walk to my room, I think my dad who teaches me the most important things I’ll ever need to know. My father is in no way inferior to anyone else. If anything, he’s even better.

科目：高中英語 來源：2011-2012學(xué)年湖南鳳凰縣華鑫中學(xué)高二12月月考英語試卷 題型：閱讀理解
I am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language — the way it can evoke（喚起） an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them all—all the Englishes I grew up with.
Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, I’ve been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” English. But feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than “broken”, as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness. I’ve heard other terms used, “l(fā)imited English,” for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including people’s perceptions（認(rèn)識）of the limited English speaker.
I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother’s “l(fā)imited” English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.
I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I won’t get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as “broken”, and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal（內(nèi)在的）language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure: I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show; her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.
【小題1】By saying “Language is the tool of my trade”, the author means that ______.
| A．she uses English in foreign trade |
| B．she is fascinated by languages |
| C．she works as a translator |
| D．she is a writer by profession |
| A．impolite | B．a(chǎn)musing | C．imperfect | D．practical |
| A．Americans do not understand broken English. |
| B．The author’s mother was not respected sometimes. |
| C．The author’ mother had positive influence on her. |
| D．Broken English always reflects imperfect thoughts. |
| A．well structured | B．in the old style |
| C．easy to translate | D．rich in meaning |
| A．The changes of the author’s attitude to her mother’s English. |
| B．The limitation of the author’s perception of her mother. |
| C．The author’s misunderstanding of “l(fā)imited” English. |
| D．The author’s experiences of using broken English. |

科目：高中英語 來源：2011-2012學(xué)年湖北省武穴中學(xué)高一實驗班3月月考英語試卷（帶解析） 題型：閱讀理解
When an official at the U. S. Open Pocket Pool(臺球)Championship saw a 9-year-old girl playing at one of the tournament tables, he told her that spectators(觀眾)were not allowed to play. But much to his surprise, the girl was actually a competitor. That was nine years ago, and today, with five U. S. Open Women’s titles behind her and a recently won world championship, no one is likely to mistake Jean Balukas for a spectator again.
It doesn’t seem too surprising that Jean became caught up in pool——her father owns a pool hall within walking distance of the family’s home in Brooklyn. When she was just tall enough to see over the table, she fell in love with the game soon. Five years later Jean was ready to enter her first U. S. Open. She still remembers the letter the officials sent her reminding her that she wouldn’t be allowed to stand on a box to play.
As Jean improved, she found it increasingly difficult to play games at her father’s pool hall. “If I’d beat one of the guys, his friends would laugh at them about losing to me,” she says. Now Jean comes to the hall only weeks before a tournament when she plays Johnny Goon, her father’s pool manager.
That Johnny can beat her shows the gap that now exists in pool — as in other sports — between the top men and women competitors. “I’m supposedly the top woman player, but I’d have a hard time beating the number 50 man,” says Jean. “If I was a boy and played pool, I’d be a nobody.”
Jean thinks that women pool players still have a long way to go because pool has been a man’s game for so long. “When they think of pool players, people have this picture in their head of gambling(賭博) and smoke,” she says.
Jean won four of the seven games in these two years. She was as surprised as anyone else at her performance, even though she was a New York City tennis champion and center for her high-school basketball team. Jean does not take full credit for her achievements, saying, “I think what I have in sports is a gift from God, and that’s why I can get out there and do so well.”
【小題1】We can learn from the first passage that Jean Balukas_____.
| A．had become well-known at the age of 9 |
| B．had achieved great fame at the age of 18 |
| C．was often asked to play with men players |
| D．was refused to play in the U. S. Open for her young age |
| A．told her to arrive in time for the game |
| B．showed people’s doubt about her ability |
| C．told her about the basic rules of the game |
| D．invited her to compete in the U. S. Open |
| A．fall far behind men players |
| B．a(chǎn)ren’t suitable for a man’s game |
| C．a(chǎn)re impossible to beat any man player |
| D．have a bad reputation(名聲) for gambling and smoking |
| A．women players had a long way to go |
| B．she wouldn’t stop before her great achievement |
| C．she had much confidence in the game |
| D．she achieved her success because of her born gift |

Hobbs was an orphan（孤兒）. He worked in a factory and every day he got a little money. Hard work made him thin and weak. He wanted to borrow a lot of money to learn to paint pictures, but he did not think he could pay off the debts.
One day a lawyer said to him, “One thousand dollars, and here is the money.” As Hobbs took the package of notes, he was very dumbfounded. He didn’t know where the money came from and how to spend it. He said to himself, “I could go to find a hotel and live like a rich man for a few days; or I give up my work in the factory and do what I’d like to do: painting pictures. I could do that for a few weeks, but what would I do after that? I should have lost my place in the factory and have no money to live on. If it were a little less money, I would buy a new coat, or a radio, or give a dinner to my friends. If it were more, I could give up the work and pay for painting pictures. But it’s too much for one and too little for the other.”
“Here is the reading of your uncle’s will（遺囑）,” said the lawyer, “telling what is to be done with this money after his death. I must ask you to remember one point. Your uncle has said you must bring me a paper showing exactly what you did with his money, as soon as you have spent it.”
“Yes, I see. I’ll do that,” said the young man.

閱讀下面短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。
I will never forget the lesson which Mr. Li gave us. One day Mr. Li was speaking to us in our school meeting room. He began his speech by holding up a ¥ 100 bill. He asked, "Who would like this ¥ 100 bill?" Most of us put up our hands quickly. Then he said, "I am going to give this ¥ 100 to one of you, but first let me do this." He then made the bill into a ball and said; "Who wants it now?" We raised our hands again. But he said,“Wait a moment.”He then dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. After that, he picked up the dirty bill and said, "Who still wants it?" Many hands were still up.
"My friends," he said, "you have learned a valuable lesson today. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not go down in value. It was still worth ¥ 100."
"We sometimes lose confidence in ourselves." He went on speaking, "We feel as if we are worth nothing. But remember, no matter what has happened to you, you will never lose your value: you are always valuable to those people who love you. Your value doesn't come from what you do or who you know, but WHO YOU ARE."
"You are special and valuable. Don't ever forget it!'
