Over the last six years I have learned what patience is. Growing up I did not have this virtue（優(yōu)點(diǎn)）and it is a very important virtue to have. Now I can see that if you are patient you will almost always get what you want if you are supposed to have it. I gained patience when I lost my freedom. I knew that I would eventually get it back in time.

I was locked up in prison for a period of six years because at 19 years old I was playing with a handgun and I accidentally shot and killed my friend. The first couple of years was the hardest.I was always stressed out about everything.Time was dragging by because I was always paying attention to it.While I was locked up，Tom who I talked to helped put this virtue in me.He told me that it was possible that he would never make it home but that being patient and believing that one day he would was what had made him feel better.After a while I realized why he said a lot of things to me.Once I stopped paying attention to the days and just kept in mind that I would get freedom，it seemed that my time passed quickly.

Now I am home and can see that patience paid off for me. I now use this virtue in my daily activities. I know that sometimes life gets hard and that it will pay in the end to stay patient and not to get discouraged. So if you are having a hard time in life，be patient and it will eventually work out one way or another.

Many people have tried to simplify the spelling of English words. Unlike other languages , English sometimes spells the same sounds in very different ways . For example , there is “l(fā)ight “but” white”, ”loan ”but “phone” ,and there are at least seven different ways of pronouncing “ough”: ”though”, ”through “,”bough”. “cough” ”enough “, “ought” and “thorough “.

The American President Theodore Roosevelt almost succeeded in simplifying English spelling .In 1906, Andrew Carnegie started the Simplified Spelling Board .He was one of the richest men in the United States of America .The board’s plan was to make the spelling of words nearer to the way they sound .For example , the word “though” would be spelt “tho” and “through “would become “thru”. Other people on the board were Melvil Dewey , the head of the New York libraries , and Professor Brander Matthews of Columbia University 。They explained their idea to President Roosevelt , who thought that it was indeed logical .He immediately asked the government printer to sue simplified spelling in all government letters .

But people didn’t like the change, even if it made life easier. So the new simpler spelling was not popular. More importantly, when the American politicians (政客) discussed the plan, they did not like it either.

Because Roosevelt did not want to have any problems with the politicians, he changed his mind and told the printer to go back to the old way of spelling.

Since then no one in any government has dared to simplify English spelling. However,people do simplify some words, mainly in advertisements. For example, we often see “tonite” instead of “tonight” and “thru” instead of “through”．

1.Many people have tried to simplify English spelling because________.

A. English words are too long to remember

B. there are many mistakes in English words

C. lots of words are spelt in many different ways

D. sometimes the same sounds have different spellings.

2. Who is NOT a member of the Simplified Spelling Board?

A. Andrew Carnegie.

B. Melvil Dewey.

C. Theodore Roosevelt. 

D. Brander Matthews.

3. What was Theodore Roosevelt’s attitude towards simplified spelling?

A.Worried.  

B. Supportive. 

C. Uncertain.

D. Doubtful.

4. According to the passage, simplified spelling________.

A. was welcomed by the US politicians

B. changed the way the words sound

C. has been used widely for over a century

D. was first used in US government letters.

科目：高中英語 來源：2015屆河北省衡水市高二下期末英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

I went to a nearby car factory today with my uncle, who works there. One thing I noticed was that most of the work was done by robots. Welding (焊接), painting, testing and many other jobs are performed by robots. The whole dashboard (儀表板) is put into a car by a robot. It would have taken two men to do so in the past, and it would have hurt their backs quite a bit.

It got me thinking: Is it a good thing that robots are replacing factory workers? On the one hand, robots generally do a more accurate job than people. They are not likely to make many mistakes. If something goes wrong with one car, an alarm goes off. They do exactly the same thing every time, but a human worker is unable to do so. On the other hand, robots reduce costs for companies. Companies don’t have to pay robots wages or injury compensation (補(bǔ)償) if they’re broken. If something in a robot does go wrong, it won’t have to take time off work for a year, or even forever, as could happen to a real person if he breaks his back or burns himself while welding.

The obvious downside is that robots increase unemployment rate, which in turn increases taxes. We don’t want to pay for those who are out of work just because a company has replaced them with robots.

1.We can learn from the first paragraph that _______.

A. all the workers have been replaced by robots

B. robots do most of the work in the car factory

C. there are no workers with back strain now

D. the author’s uncle designs robots in the factory

2.The second paragraph is mainly about ________.

A. the author’s experience in a car factory

B. the advantages of robots over human workers

C. the advantages of human workers over robots

D. the management of factory workers

3.The underlined word “downside” in the last paragraph means _______.

A. weakness B. favor

C. assistance D. Advantage

4.It can be inferred from the passage that________.

A.companies refuse to pay for workers.

B.robots have completely replaced workers.

C.robots can help solve the problem of unemployment.

D.people have to pay more taxes for unemployment.
