We’re not talking here about the kind of story that   38    , “When I was a kid, I walked to school every day uphill both ways, barefoot in the snow. ” Instead, we should choose a story suited to the child’s   39    , and make eye contact （接觸） to create “a personal experience”,.

There was once a professor of medicine, who was very strict with the students. Whenever he took the chair on the exam committee(擔(dān)任考試委員會(huì)主席), the students would be in fear, because he was seldom pleased with the answers they gave. A student would be lucky enough if he or she could receive a good mark from him. At the end of the term, the students of medicine would take their exam again. Now a student entered the exam room and got seated before the committee. This student was a little nervous as he knew it would not be so easy to get through the exam at all.
The professor began to ask. The student was required to describe a certain illness, his description of which turned out to be OK.
　　Then the professor asked about the cure (藥劑) for illness, and the student, too, answered just as right.
“Good,” said the professor, “and how much will you give the patient?”
“A full spoon”, answered the student.
“Now you may go out and wait for what you can get.”, said the professor. At the same time, the committee discussed carefully the answers the student had given. Suddenly the student noticed that there was something wrong with his last answer. “ A full spoon is too much,” he thought to himself. Anxiously he opened the door of the room and cried, “Mr. Professor, I’ve made a mistake! A full spoon is too much for a patient. He can take only five drops.”
“I’m sorry, sir.” said the professor coldly, “But it’s too late. Your patient has died.”
小題1:The students were afraid of the professor because_________.
A．they often angered and disappointed him
B．their answers often astonished him
C．their answers seldom satisfied him
D．he often misunderstood them and gave them bad marks
小題2: The student’s description of the illness was           .
A．not correctB．not satisfiedC．completely discouragingD．a(chǎn)ccepted.
小題3:Before he left the room the student was almost sure that          .
A．he had passed the exam, and the only thing was to wait for the mark
B．his last answer was satisfying
C．he had made a mistake
D．he had not done well in the exam.
小題4:Which of the following is Not true?
A．The patient will be in danger if he’s taken as much as a full spoon.
B．The doctor will be in trouble if he’s given the patient a full spoon.
C．Since one spoon is less than five drops, the patient will be all right soon if he takes only one full spoon at a time.
D．If the patient wants to remain safe, he should take no more than five drops at a time.

As one comes to some crossroads, he or she sees a sign which says that drivers have to stop when they come to the main road ahead. At other crossroads, drivers have to go slow, but they do not actually have to stop unless, of course, there is something coming along the main road; and at still others, they do not have either to stop or to go slow, because they are themselves on the main road.
Mr. Williams, who was always a very careful driver, was driving home from work one evening when he came to a crossroad. It had a “SLOW” sign. He slowed down when he came to the main road, looked both ways to see that nothing was coming, and then drove across without stopping completely.
At once he heard a police whistle, so he pulled into the side of the road and stopped. A policeman walked over to him with a notebook and a pen in his hand and said, “You didn’t stop at that crossing.”
“But the sign there doesn't say ‘STOP’.” answered Mr. Williams, “It just says ‘SLOW’, and I did go slow.”
The policeman looked around him, and a look of surprise came over his face. Then he put his notebook and pen away, scratched his head and said, “Well, I’m in the wrong street!”
小題1:
Mr. Williams was driving ________ one evening.
A．to a partyB．to his office

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

I made a pledge (發(fā)誓) to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.
The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting (引用) a Biblical (圣經(jīng)的) passage about husbands being considerate towards their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.
And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.”
“Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and pleased, maybe a little puzzled.
After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here with the kids all the week and now she wants to stay with me.” We walked on the beach when the children flew their kites.
So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that’s how the whole vacation passed, I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love. There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. Last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.
“What’s the matter?” I asked her.
“Tom,” she said in a voice filled with sorrow, “do you know anything I don’t?”
“What do you mean?”
“Well…that checkup (體檢) I had several weeks ago…our doctor…Did he tell you anything about me? Tom, you’ve been so good to me... Am I dying?”
It took a moment for it all to sink in. Then I burst out laughing.
“No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms. “You’re not dying; I’m just starting to live.”
小題1:
From the story we may infer that Tom went to the beach cottage ________.
A．with his familyB．with EvelynC．a(chǎn)loneD．with his children
小題2:
During the two weeks on the beach, Tom showed more love to his wife because ________.
A．she looked lovely in her new clothes
B．he had made a lot of money in Wall Street
C．he was determined to be a good husband
D．she was seriously ill
小題3:
The underlined words “one thing” in the passage refer to the fact that ________.
A．he praised her sweater, which puzzled her
B．she insisted on visiting a museum, which he hated
C．he knew something about her illness but didn’t tell her
D．he was so good to her that she thought she must be dying
小題4:
By saying “I’m just starting to live”, Tom means that ________.
A．he is just beginning to understand the real meaning of work
B．he is just beginning to enjoy his life as a loving husband
C．he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to change
D．he is beginning to feel sorry for what he did to his wife

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

When people hear that I’m the youngest person to row solo across the Atlantic Ocean, they all have the same question: How did a 22-year old woman row a 19-foot boat for 70 days through high winds and crashing waves? Well, the biggest  difficulty for me wasn’t physical. By the time I decided to do the ocean row, I had already biked 3,300 miles cross-country, run across the Mojave Desert, and swum the 325-mile length of the Allegheny River. No, the tough part would be mental: How would I handle the loneliness, the boredom of the vast sea?
I set off on January 3, 2010. I set my sights on getting past the quarter-way mark, which would take about 20 days.
Day 20, January 22, was gray and cloudy. I could have done something to celebrate, such as treating myself to a chocolate bar. But I didn’t.
I was suffering from terrible loneliness. I hadn’t seen landing over two weeks. Every day was beginning to feel the same. Eating, rowing, sleeping, watch the sky, watch the ocean.
Then, around sunset, I saw something move on the horizon. They were dolphins! They circled my boat. Suddenly I felt so grateful. They had come to help me celebrate, just when I needed them. I rowed at full strength for the next 20 minutes with the dolphins around. By the time we went our separate ways, I was no longer lonely. Better yet, I knew I would be okay.
I did make it, all 2,817 miles. I hit the coast of Guyana, South America, on March 14, after 70 days and five hours at sea. My ocean row raised $70,000 for the Blue Planet Run Foundation, which funds drinking water programs around the world. I know some athletes spend the entire journey imagining the end, and that helps them get through. But for me, the secret is to focus on the moment, where you experience the personal growth—those moments of awareness of being connected to the sun, the weather, and the waves. And, on the best day of my life, those dolphins, which freed myself from terrible loneliness.
小題1:
Which is the step taken as part of preparation for the tough row?
A．swimming the 325-mile length of the river
B．a(chǎn)nswering the same question raised by people
C．running 3,300 miles cross-country
D．biking across the Mojave Desert
小題2:
What does the underlined part mean?
A．I didn’t have any chocolate bar for energy.
B．I wasn’t in the mood to celebrate my first goal.
C．It’s a pity not to celebrate my passing the quarter of the way
D．It’s a pity not to treat myself to a chocolate bar on Day 20.
小題3:
What can be implied from the last two paragraphs?
A．Imagination was an effective way to help me get through.
B．The Blue Planet Run Foundation helped me a lot.
C．The dolphins accompanied me to reach my destination
D．The unexpected dolphins swept away my loneliness
小題4:
Which can be the best title of the passage?
A．The day I stopped being lonely
B．The only challenge for a 22-year old
C．How to overcome loneliness at sea.
D．How to row alone across the Atlantic
