B

If a sitcom(情景喜劇)that lasts for l0 years is considered popular，then surely one that still arouses emotions after 20 must be considered a classic．Friends first aired in the US in 1994，featuring a cast of six young men and women in New York．In the time since，it’s become one of the most famous titles in the sitcom style，aired in over 100 countries and regions in the world．

The show is typical among those who grew up in the 1990s because it explores basic yet important themes like friendship，struggling to survive in a big city，and finding independence and identity，all of which are still relevant to young audiences today．

Against the background of the Internet age，IT staff who were once marginalized(排斥)and laughed at have experienced a revival due to the popularity of hit show The Big Bang Theory，in which four talents lacking normal social skills make an attempt at living on a college campus．

At the same time，Gossip Girl，describing a young cast of New Yorkers born with silver spoons in their mouths，demonstrates the difficulties upper-class adolescents experience．The show’s fashion and mature subject matter allowed it to capture the interest of both teenagers and adults．

Although these typical TV shows span a wide timeline and feature a variety of themes，they all have a universal topic．Love，money，friendship，career aspirations and identity are things all young people struggle to understand．Why are they still fascinating? It remains to be found out．

1.Why is the sitcom Friends typical among young people in the 1990s?

A．Because it is a breakthrough in the producing style．

B．Because it is the most influential sitcom of all time．

C．Because it addresses the subjects faced by the youth．

D．Because it predicts the future of the young at that time．

2.What can we learn about The Big Bang Theory?

A．It arouses people’s enthusiasm for computers．

B．There are four talents who are good at everything．

C．It is set in the time before the Internet came into being．

D．It improves the conditions of the people in technological industry．

A．a(chǎn)ttracts people of all ages

Do you ever feel like you are studying a mad rush of one subject after another? When things happen at such a pace, it is easy to lose sight of what you are learning. It is important to every now and then to think about what you have been learning.

Self reflection(反思)means stopping the mad rush and yourself so that your brain can evaluate what it has already .Some people prefer to do their self reflections _ _, while others keep a journal. Either method can work, depending on what your own personal is.

School textbooks are often divided into units. This can make it for someone to begin the process of self reflection. Watch for the times when you complete a unit of study. Sometimes you are reminded that the unit is _ because there is some kind of test or quiz. Use these natural as opportunities to stop and reflect.

You should find a place---anywhere without noise is OK. This can even be sitting at your desk at school when you finish something and the other students are still working. If you are going to take notes, take out your journal Write down some notes on things that you learned in this unit. Let your mind think about the notes you have written and make some .

Maybe you learned a new way to solve a math problem, but you are not sure when to use it. Writing down your will help you remember to continue seeking answers the next time your the same topic.

Do you love the holidays，but hate the pounds that follow? You are not alone. Holidays are times for feasting and celebrating. Many people are worried about their weight.With proper planning，though，it is possible to keep normal weight during the holidays.Whether it is celebrating at the office party or sitting down for the traditional family dinner，regard eating as a time for tasting a variety of the foods.The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You don't have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy.

Here are some tips for preventing weight gain and maintaining physical fitness：

Don't skip meals.Before you leave home，have a small，low-fat meal or snack.This may help to avoid getting too excited before delicious foods.

Control portions.Use a small plate (about 10 inches) and put aside the large ones that may encourage you to “l(fā)oad up.” You should be most comfortable eating an amount of food about the size of your fist. Once you have your “tasting” serving，move away from the buffet(自助餐). Doing so will make it less tempting to be eating constantly as your appetite is inspired by the sight of food.

Begin with soup and fruit or vegetables. Fill up beforehand on water-based soup and raw fruit or vegetables. Or drink a large glass of water before you eat to help you feel full.

Stick to physical activity. Don't let exercise take a break during the holidays. A 20-minute walk after a meal can help burn off excess calories.

Avoid high-fat foods. Dishes that look oily or creamy may have a large amount of fat. Choose lean meats. Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables. Use lemon juice instead of dessert or butter.

1.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A．You had better turn your attention away from delicious foods.

B．Drinking some water or soup before eating helps you eat less.

C．Holidays are happy days with pleasure but they may bring weight problems.

A．can't help being tempted to eat constantly

B．take part in too many parties

C．enjoy delicious foods

D．can't help turning away from the foods

4.If the passage appears in the newspaper，you think it should belong to ______ Column.

They’re WILD animals

By Ernst-Ulrich Franzen

March 11, 2010 (3) Comments

The story about the woman who lost some fingers while feeding a bear at a zoo in Manitowoc, after she ignored warnings and barriers(柵欄), reminded me of the story I heard about a couple who put their baby on the back of a wild horse in South Dakota to get a really cute picture. We all do silly things at times — no one is immune — but treating wild animals as lovely pets has to fall into a special category. Teddy bears and Disney movies aren’t actually representative of real bears.

1. TosaLeft - Mar 11, 2010 10:46AM

Don’t you think that maybe, just maybe some alcohol was involved?

2. tk421 - Mar 11, 2010 11:09 AM

It was already approved that alcohol was involved. Stories that begin with a drunk person saying “Hey, I got an idea, watch this!” rarely end well.

3. Tristan Kloss - Mar 11, 2010 11:41 AM

Alcohol certainly isn’t involved when people decide to keep “pets” like chimpanzees, baby tigers, etc. Stupidity, definitely. Dogs are pets because of thousands of years of domestication. Even farm animals, which have been kept by humans for thousands of years as well, aren’t let in the house. So why keep animals that treat human contact with, at best, indifference(冷淡、不在乎) and, at worst, violence?

1.In Ernst-Ulrich Franzen’s opinion, the woman lost her fingers because ________.

A. the zoo keepers didn’t warn her of the danger

B. she didn’t know the bear was a wild animal

C. she was somehow influenced by cartoon characters

D. she climbed over the barriers and angered the bear

2.TosaLeft thinks the wounded woman ________.

A. may have been drunk

B. may be a little stupid

C. was addicted to wine

D. fed wine to the bear

3.tk421 means a drunk person ________.

A. should be forbidden to enter the zoo

B. usually gets himself into trouble

C. is often fond of making up stories

D. usually likes to show himself off

4.What does Tristan Kloss think of people treating wild animals as pets?

A. Kind. B. Illegal.

C. Loving. D. Stupid.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2016屆湖北省襄陽(yáng)市四校高三上學(xué)期期中聯(lián)考英語(yǔ)試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

In this information age, there are plenty of mindless activities to keep a child busy. Yet despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter Alice wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories. She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest, a competition which she won last year.

As a writer, I know about winning contests---and about losing them. I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection letter from the publisher. I also know the pressure of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories. What if she doesn’t win the contest again? That’s the strange thing about being a parent. So many of our own past scars and destroyed hopes can resurface in our children.

A revelation(啟示) came last week when I asked her, “Don’t you want to win again?” “No,” she replied, “I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.”

I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously(自發(fā)地)told them. Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall, I offered suggestions for characters, conflicts and endings for her tales. The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly “guided” by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson. I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it.

Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks. Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade, I had to accept the fact that I was co-opting my daughter’s experience.

While stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps, putting myself far enough away to give her room but close enough to help if asked. All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment, grow and find their own voices.

1. What do we know about the author’s own writing experience?

A. She was constantly under pressure to write more.

B. Her road to success was full of pain and frustrations.

C. Most of her stories had been rejected by publishers.

D. She did not quite live up to her reputation as a writer.

2. Why did Alice want to enter this year’s writing contest?

A. She wanted to share her stories with readers.

B. She had won a prize in the previous contest.

C. She believed she possessed real talent for writing.

D. She was sure of winning with her mother’s help.

3.The underlined sentence probably means that the author was .

A. trying not to let her daughter enjoy her own life

B. helping her daughter develop real skills for writing

C. making sure that her daughter would win the contest

D. trying to get her daughter to do the thing as the author wished

4. What does the writer mean to tell us in the last two paragraphs?

A. Children need more room to develop.

B. Parents should co-opt children’s experience.

C. Children should be provided enough help.

D. Parents need to remind their children of their own choices.
