【題目】The day was Thankful Thursday. It’s a weekly ___________ that my two little girls and I began years ago. Thursday has become our day to go out and make a positive ___________.

My girls shouted “McDonald’s, McDonald’s” as we ___________ along a busy Houston road. Suddenly I ___________ that almost every crossing I passed through was ___________ by a panhandler(乞丐). And then it hit me! All these panhandlers must be hungry, too. Perfect! After we ate, I ordered a (n) ___________ lunches and we set out to deliver them. We would pull alongside a panhandler, make a contribution, and tell him or her that we hoped things got better. Then we’d say, “Oh, by the way … here’s lunch.”

We handed our final contribution to a small woman and then immediately headed back in the opposite direction for home. ___________, the light caught us again and we were stopped at the same crossing where this small woman stood. I was ___________ and didn’t know quite how to behave.

She made her way to our car, “No one has ever done ___________ like this for me before,” she said with ____________. Feeling uneasy, and wanting to move the conversation along, I asked, “So, ____________ do you think you’ll eat your lunch?”

But you know ____________ ? Tonight she is going to have McDonald’s!”

I don’t know if the kids ____________ the tears in my eyes. So many times I had questioned whether our acts of kindness were too ____________ or insignificant to really effect change.

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
A
I'm Evan Ducker. I'm just like every other 15-year-old boy, except I was born with a red birthmark(胎記).
Some birthmarks are signs of serious medical conditions. I'm very fortunate—mine isn't. I pretty much live a regular life, except for people asking me about it all the time, which can get annoying(惱人的) sometimes.
When I was about 4 years old, I asked my mom why there weren't any characters with birthmarks in the books she would read to me. When we went to the library, we realized there weren't any available for little kids. Worse than that, the books available to older kids and adults described characters with birthmarks as unattractive. So I decided to write my own.
I based the story on all the real things that happened in my life. But instead of people, the characters in the book are real animals from the Galapagos Islands, including red-footed booby birds(鰹鳥(niǎo)). I picked a booby bird as the main character because the birds have red feet due to a vascular(血管的)condition, similar to a human birthmark!
It was really tough to get my book published. It took a long time because a lot of publishers refused to publish it. They would say there wasn't a big enough market for a book about birthmarks.
But my mom never gave up trying to help make my dream come true. And in 2005, she finally took her own money and self-published “Buddy Booby's Birthmark”. After it was published, I got letters from readers all over the world. They all shared their stories and thanked me for sharing mine. Teachers wrote to tell me that my book changed the way classmates treated each other and that my book was helping kids to accept and appreciate their differences.
Then, as more teachers started reading my book, I created a free global reading event, the “International Buddy Booby’s Birthmark Read—Along for Tolerance and Awareness.”
（1）The author's birthmark seems to______.
A.be easy to remove
B.annoy him all the time
C.cause serious health problems
D.bring him some trouble
（2）What the author found in the library made him______.
A.regretful
B.disappointed
C.stressed
D.bored
（3）What did the publishers think of the author's book?
A.It wouldn't sell well.
B.It was rather uninteresting.
C.It was poorly written.
D.It wasn't fit for kids to read.
（4）The author's book “Buddy Booby's Birthmark”______.
A.was a best－seller in 2005
B.was the first book about birthmarks
C.made a difference to its readers
D.helped kids fall in love with reading

【題目】閱讀理解
Most of us have lost our wallet at some stage in our lives. But few would imagine having it returned after 66 years. Edward Parker dropped his wallet in 1950 into an inaccessible spot behind a bookshelf, while working as an electrician, repairing World War Two bomb damage in the palace. The wallet stayed there until this year when a builder, doing some restoration work, finally found it.
The wallet is a time capsule. Its leather and webbing has long ago started to disintegrate. But it contains numerous pictures of family, invoices, receipts, old union cards, results of a chest X-ray (sent to him in 1948, the same year as the NHS was founded), a national service card dated 9 December 1944 and a medical insurance card. His business cards—E Parker, Electrical Contractor—seem almost original. Reflecting the typical methods of contact of the time, they have an address but no telephone number.
A month ago I was speaking to a press officer Lambeth Palace and he mentioned that the wallet had just been handed in. We thought it might be nice to try and work out whose it was and give it back to the family. Edward Parker is a pretty common name, but his medical card contained two places of residence—Poets Road and Springdale Road in north London. From this, Islington Council were able to find details of a marriage between Edward Parker and Constance Butler in 1947.
That information was enough to work out that he was still alive and in a care home in Essex, so I went to visit him. Now 89, Edward has dementia (癡呆), but he was clearly happy to get the wallet and in particular, the photographs back. He pointed out pictures of his mother and father, his brother, his cousins and his wife Constance, who was with him when I visited. He hadn't seen a picture of his father since he lost the wallet, Constance, 90, said.
（1）It can be inferred that Edward Parker ___________.
A.always lost his wallet
B.once took part in World War II
C.once worked as a builder
D.once worked as electrical technician
（2）What's the main idea of the second paragraph?
A.The producer of the wallet.
B.The raw material of the wallet.
C.The concrete contents of the wallet.
D.The high-quality shape of the wallet.
（3）What does the underlined word “disintegrate” in the second paragraph mean?
A.Maintain.
B.Damage.
C.Disappear.
D.Destroy.
（4）What plays a key role in returning the wallet?
A.Medical card.
B.Business card.
C.Old union card.
D.National service card.

【題目】閱讀理解
Blind imitation is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their own unique worth, imitation appears attractive; to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable.
In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else's way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child's bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.
In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意識(shí)地）hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.
In the field of entertainment, our culture praises and admires celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.
Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.
Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not serve you. Then you can say, “I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors' tragedies and declare victory, and know that they are cheering me on.”
（1）Imitation proves useful when you _______.
A.know you are unique
B.lose the balance of life
C.begin to learn something new
D.get tired of routine practice
（2）To avoid the bad result of imitation, we should _______.
A.forget daily fear and pain
B.choose the right role models
C.ask others for decisions
D.stay away from stars
（3）According to the author, the world moves on because of those who are _______.
A.desperate to influence others with their knowledge
B.ready to turn their original ideas into reality
C.eager to discover what their ancestors did
D.willing to accept others' ideas
（4）What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?
A.To highlight the importance of creativity.
B.To criticize the characters of role models.
C.To compare imitation with creation.
D.To explain the meaning of success.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源： 題型：

【題目】When a friend approaches you in the heat of a moment, it can be hard to know what to say. There’ no blanket approach for every person through every crisis (危急), but a few guidelines could help you offer the best support.

Friends going through a crisis often just need someone to talk to and explore their feelings with, but the trick is to listen without sounding like you’re judging. Reorganize “why” questions, which can imply you’re questioning their judgment, but ‘how’ and ‘what’ questions, and ‘who’ and ‘when’ seem caring and sincere.

Open-ended questions that can’t be answered with a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ will also help friends dig into their deepest feelings during a crisis. While your loved ones talk through their replies, practice active listening by focusing on their answers. After all, your friends probably just need someone to listen and prove them, rather than hearing you offer potentially unhelpful advice.

When you do respond，avoid telling friends in crisis how they “should” be feeling. “ ‘Should’ is not a valid term, saying it’s not OK for you to feel these societally ‘weak’ feelings,” says Michelle Kuchuk, director of training for Crisis Text Line. “If you’re only hearing ‘you should feel great’, you’re never going to speak again or get that weight off your chest if you think other people will judge you.”

On the other hand, tying those positive feelings to a specific action can feel more sincere. If friends hear “you’re so strong” without an example to back it up, they might never believe it. But if they’ve been explaining how hard it was to talk to someone else, praise them for taking that brave step.

Finally, it’s more important for a friend to know you’re there for support than stressing about saying the right thing during a crisis. Just be a friend and really listen to that person, not with your own agenda but “what is this person really going through?”

【1】Who is this passage intended for?

A. People to be consultants. B. People in need of support.

C. People going through a crisis. D. People supporting friends in crisis.

【2】What is your most suitable question to ask one talking to you?

A. Who did that1? B. When did you start it?

C. How did you feel about it1? D. Why did you feel that way?

【3】What does the underlined part mean in the 4th paragraph?

A. Tell the truth out. B. Relieve their pressure.

C. Keep everything secret. D. Leave your baggage behind.

【4】What is suggested to respond to your friends’ talking?

A. Preparing your questions beforehand.

B. Giving them as many instructions as possible.

C. Praising them constantly by encouraging words.

D. Expressing your appreciation for a small behavior.
