科目：高中英語 來源：2016屆甘肅河西五市高三第二次聯(lián)考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

We took a rare family road trip to the Adirondacks in late August，and it was as refreshing and exhausting as family vacations tend to be．Toward the end of our long drive home, even the kids were leaning forward in their seats urging my lead foot on．At that point in a road trip，even sixty-five miles per hour feels slow. We have become numb to our speed and numb to the road signs flashing by.

My family lives on the edge of Lancaster County. Only thirty miles from home，I hit the brakes，and we began to roll，slowly，behind a horse-drawn carriage. We began to open our eyes again．We saw familiar green hills and the farm with the best watermelons. I rolled down the windows, and we breathed again．Just-cut hay and a barn full of dairy cattle．

At five miles per hour，you remember what you forget at sixty-five．You are thinking about a place，even when you are moving from place to place．

I am a placemaker. A homemaker, too. I am a mother of a young kid at home，and also a writer and a gardener．But，for me，those roles are wrapped up with the one big thing I want to do with the rest of my life：I want to cultivate a place and share it with others．

The place I make with my family is a red-brick farmhouse built in l880. It has quite a few nineteenth-century bedrooms and a few acres of land，and we love nothing more than to fill them with neighbors and friends. We grow vegetables and flowers，keep a baker’s dozen of egg—laying chickens，and，since we moved in three years ago，we have planted many，many trees．

Living with my life’s purpose does not allow for much travel. I need to be here，feeding the chickens and watering the tomatoes. Any extra in the budget，and we spend it on trees．

But I learned something at the end of our family road trip．Travel can help me in the task of caring for my own place．When I slow down and pay attention to the road between here and there，travel tells me the connections between my place and all the other places．

1. What does the author try to express in the first paragraph?

A．The tiredness of her past family life．

B．Her disappointment at the family road trip．

C．The family’s eagerness to return home．

D．Kids’excitement at driving fast on the road．

2.Why did the author slow her car some miles from her home?

A．Because she made a way for a horse-drawn carriage．

B．Because she enjoyed the scenery along the road．

C．Because she needed a break after the long drive．

D．Because she wanted to get rid of a fast-paced life．

3.The underlined word“placemaker’’in the 4th paragraph refers to someone who .

A．devotes most of his energy and time to building his house

B．is ready to help anyone in need in the community

C．makes a creative design for others’ houses

D．is good at cultivating a place and sharing it with others

4. What can be the best title of the passage?

A．On the Way Home B．Never Travel again

C．Escape from a Family Life D．Life on the Farm

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

Question: My 14-year-old son is very disrespectful to my husband and me, and we don’t know what to do. He often gets home after dark. And we have a big argument after he comes back. Can you help us?

Answer: Your son should, of course, come back before dark, not because you say so, but because it is his responsibility and because you would worry about him if he didn’t come home when he promised. 1. . Just tell him that he has to be home on time if he wants to go out next time — and that this is his choice, not yours.

His disrespect is part of a bigger issue. Your son desires independence because the young always do when they hit puberty (青春期). New hormones (荷爾蒙), a new need to pull away from their parents results in this desire. 2. .

Your son may also be acting up because your discipline hasn’t kept up with his growth. A child hates to be corrected when his parents use the same words they used when correcting him a year ago. 3. .

He won’ t even argue with you too much, if you listen to his rants (咆哮) and consider his reasons when you have to say no. You need to know that your respect is as important as his respect. 4. . This doesn’t complete anything and must worsen your relationship.

Your child not only needs your respect. 5. . They need your pity for him when things go wrong, rather than tell him what he should have done. Now is the time to give as few orders as possible (but stick to the ones you give).

A. But don’t worry.

B. But don’t argue about it.

C. He wants you to react to him at the age he is today.

D. So boys and girls are so eager to spread their wings.

E. If you don’t listen and consider, he won’t hear a word you say.

F. He is growing physically, mentally, emotionally and even morally.

G. He also needs you to encourage his dreams, no matter how strange they are.

Plenty of job seekers, according to career and workplace consultant Alexandra Levit, are making major mistakes at those big, important meetings with their would-be bosses. Candidates would do well to avoid the following interview mistakes:

1.

At most job interviews, both parties—the interviewer and the interviewee—are expected to ask questions. Do your homework on the company and make sure your questions aren’t so obvious that they can be answered with a five-second Google search.

“ 2. You shouldn’t ask too many general questions because they might have the opinion that you should know some of the answers.” Levit said.

Talking too much.

Even if you’re really smart, you won’t impress anybody if you don’t do your fair share of listening.

“It should be a two-way conversation,” Levit said. “ 3. Really take the time to read between the lines and pay attention to what they are saying.”

Treating the interviewer like a friend.

Of course you want to be friendly with your interviewer, but it’s important to remember that this person is not someone with whom you’ll be throwing back a few beers next weekend. You have to keep your guard up.

“You don’t want to treat them as if they’re someone you can take into your confidence.” Levit said. “ 4. ”

Bad-mouthing your last employer.

Sometimes, even your last boss was Satan himself. 5. Find a way to put a positive reason on why you left—or plan to leave—your last job.

“Don’t say, ‘Oh I left because my company was insufferable,’” Levit said. “The employer is going to be sitting there thinking you’re going to be saying that about them in three years and it isn’t going to fill them with confidence.”

A. Asking proper questions.

B. Failing to ask smart questions.

C. A job interview is not the time to uncover it.

D. Listen more and you’ll have more answers.

E. You’re not going to learn as much about their needs if you don’t listen.

F. You should portray yourself as confident, enthusiastic and professional.

G. You are supposed to have some knowledge of the industry and the position.

科目：高中英語 來源：2016屆陜西西安西北工大附中高三下第六次適應(yīng)性訓(xùn)練英語卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Mr William Shakespeare and the Internet

Explanation of Contents

This is the fourth edition of these pages. It is hard to believe, but once again they are new and improved. My motive in publishing these pages remains to help and stimulate others in Shakespeare studies, and especially those who might contribute their work to the Internet. The spirit of altruism (利他主義) that originally built the Internet is not quite gone, though, sadly, through the pressure of time and profit has lessened.

A major new addition to the pages is a Shakespeare Timeline, which is an online biography mounted at this site. The problems with searching for Shakespeare resources using the available Search Engines are:

---- It is difficult to focus most searches so that you get a manageable number of relevant hits;

---- It is impossible by simply reading an abstract(摘要) to make any distinction between the output of a Junior High School student and that of a professional researcher.

Another change in these pages over previous editions is the “What’s News” page. If you come away from these pages with the feeling that they are very useful but slightly pedantic (學(xué)究的), I will have realized my goal.

An Apology

I am continually apologizing to the many who have written me requesting revisions of the pages. We are all too busy. I simply have not had the time to dedicate to these pages that I wish. But I love the material and so have, at long last, made some time to update them.

A Reminder to Young Students

These pages contain the best links I can find to Shakespeare on the Internet. As a reminder, I would say I very much enjoy hearing from people who view and use these pages. If you want to do Shakespeare research using the web, this page is a great starting point, and I keep it as current as I can. The web is in its infancy（初期in bringing good, scholarly content to students. Don’t forget the best, if not quickest, resources are still in your library.

1.The passage is written to ________.

A. introduce the fourth edition of these pages

B. make an apology to readers

C. show off these pages to readers

D. let Shakespeare researchers buy these pages

2.When searching for Shakespeare resources using Search Engines, you ________.

A. can easily recognize what the abstract means

B. will waste some time in finding what you want

C. will often come into the “What’s News” pages

D. will find something special on your computers

3.Which of the following can best conclude the last paragraph?

A. The writer will often read letters from those who use these pages.

B. The writer of the passage is very selfish.

C. The web was just created four years ago.

D. Shakespeare researchers should first of all refer to these pages.
