Looking deep into his eyes I slowly answered, “Let’s say, I want a flower on a mountain cliff and picking the flower will cause your  42 . Will you do it for me?”
He answered, “I will give you my answer tomorrow.”
I   43 the next morning, finding a piece of paper on the dining table, which read: “My dear, I would not pick that flower for you, but please allow me to   44  .

My tears fell on the   53 and I continued reading:

科目:高中英語 來源:2012屆浙江省諸暨市牌頭中學(xué)高三2月回頭考英語試卷(帶解析) 題型:閱讀理解

Passage 1 is from the introduction to a Zen Buddhist (禪宗的佛教僧侶) manual on the art of “mindfulness”, the practice of paying close attention to the present moment. Passage 2 is from an essay by a United States author.
Passage 1
Every morning, when we wake up, we have 24 brand-new hours to live. What a precious gift! We have the capacity to live in a way that these 24 hours will bring peace, joy, and happiness to ourselves and to others.
Peace is right here and now, in ourselves and in everything we do and see. The question is whether or not we are in touch with it. We don’t have to travel far away to enjoy the blue sky. We don’t have to leave our city or even our neighborhood to enjoy the eyes of a beautiful child. Even the air we breathe can be a source of joy.
We can smile, breathe, walk, and eat our meals in a way that allows us to be in touch with the abundance of happiness that is available. We are very good at preparing how to live, but not very good at living. We know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma, and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. But we have difficulty remembering that we are alive in the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive. Every breath we take, every step we make, can be filled with joy, peace, and serenity. We need only to be awake, alive in the present moment.
Passage 2
The argument of both the hedonist (享樂主義者) and the guru (印度教的宗師)is that we were but to open ourselves to the richness of the moment, to concentrate on the feast before us, we would be filled with bliss. I have lived in the present from time to time and can tell you that it is much overrated. Occasionally, as a holiday from stroking one’s memories or brooding (擔(dān)憂) about future worries, I grant you, it can be a nice change of pace. But to “be here now,” hour after hour, would never work. I don’t even approve of stories written in the present tense. Ads for poets who never use a past participate, they deserve the eternity they are striving for.
Besides, the present has a way of intruding whether you like it or not. Why should I go out of my way to meet it? Let it splash on me from time to time, like a car going through a puddle, and I, on the sidewalk of my solitude (孤獨), will salute it grimly like any other modern inconvenience.
If I attend a concert, obviously not to listen to the music but to find a brief breathing space in which to meditate on the past and future. I realize that there may be moments when the music invades my ears and I am forced to pay attention to it, note for note. I believe I take such intrusions gracefully. The present is not always anunwelcome guest, so long as it doesn’t stay too long and cut into my remembering or brooding time.
【小題1】The author of Passage 1 would most likely view the author of Passage 2 as _______.

A.failing to respect the feelings of other people
B.squandering (浪費) a precious opportunity on a daily basis
C.a(chǎn)dvocating an action without considering the consequences
D.a(chǎn)ttaching too much importance to the views of others
【小題2】The author of Passage 1 would most likely respond to the “argument” (line 1 Passage 2) with_______.
A.a(chǎn)bsolute neutralityB.partial acceptance
C.complete agreementD.surprised disbelief
【小題3】In Passage 1 line 11, the list (“a job…h(huán)ouse”) presents things that most people ________.
A.a(chǎn)ssume they will eventually obtain
B.eventually realize are overrated
C.a(chǎn)re unwilling to make sacrifices for
D.see as worth much effort to acquire
【小題4】In Passage 2 lines 8—10, the “present” is characterized as _________.
A.a(chǎn)n unavoidable imposition (強加)
B.a(chǎn)n unsolvable puzzle
C.a(chǎn) dangerous threat
D.a(chǎn) burdensome obligation
【小題5】Which of the following phrases from Passage 2would the author of Passage 1 most likely choose as a title for Passage 1?
A.“the hedonist and the guru” (line 1)
B.“a brief breathing space” (line 11)
C.“the feast before us” (line 2)
D.“an unwelcome guest” (line 14)

科目:高中英語 來源:四川省南充高中2009-2010學(xué)年度高一第三次階段性考試 題型:閱讀理解


E
When the six very best students from different cities in Guangdong province all together chose universities in Hong Kong; when the very best student of Beijing picked up HK University while giving up the nearby Peking or Tsinghua University; when the highest enrollment(錄取) rate of Hong Kong Science and Industry University reached 48:1, it’s the high time to ask where the real education heaven for students in China is.
Years ago, the answer certainly would be “Peking or Tsinghua University”. But now no one could give the exact reaction without hesitation. The only sure thing is that HK universities have gradually showed an unusual attraction to a great many mainland students.
It’s no doubt to call this HK craze(狂熱), which is even out of the expectation of those HK universities themselves.
How can HK universities shake the steady foundations of Peking and Tsinghua and attract so many mainland students?
First, Hong Kong universities offer large-amount scholarship, especially for the top students who can receive the sum scholarship as much as 400 000 HK dollars. Since higher education has become a kind of heavy burden of many families, it’s easy to understand why the reaction to the generous offering of HK universities is great.
Second, most HK universities receive professors and students from all over the world and carry out bilingual (雙語)education. This kind of excellent language atmosphere is another attraction for mainland students.
Furthermore, university students in Hong Kong have a better chance to study abroad as exchange students.
Can mainland top universities like Peking or Tsinghua University calm as before when facing the unexpected competition from HK? Will they take relevant measures to win back the top students who once help them set the worldwide reputation? Time will explain it.
The fierce competition brought by HK universities can be a good thing for an entire improvement of education in China. After the awakening and action-taking of mainland universities, they can perform better together with HK universities.
At least, it reminded the mainland universities the tuition fees(學(xué)費)are among students’ top concern when they are choosing universities. It’s time to move.
72.What is the passage mainly talking about?
A.Some thoughts brought by the enrollment of HK universities.
B.Higher education in Hong Kong.
C.The competition between HK University and Peking University.
D.The fall of mainland universities.
73.Top students from mainland apply for HK universities because________.
A.many students now would love to study abroad to get a better experience
B.they concern only about the tuition fees when shoosing universities
C.HK Universities offer higher scholarship, better environment and more opportunities for their further study
D.Peking university has lost its worldwide reputation
74.What is the author’s attitude toward the competition brought by HK universities?
A.The government should take relevant measures to stop this unfair competition
B.Mainland universities had better lower their tuition fees and win back the top students.
C.Universities both in mainland and in HK would get an entire improvement during the competition.
D.It may probably cause a complete loss to both sides in the end.
75.From the passage we can see HK universities________.
didn’t mean to enroll top students from mainland
B.didn’t expect their enrollment of mainland students would be so popular
C.have strict enrollment rules and only 1out of 48 students can get the chance to study there
D.a(chǎn)re proud of their teaching staff and facilities
