For some minutes, all was quiet in the street. Then from across the street someone came walking.
It looked like a man of middle height, dressed in a big raincoat, a soft hat and rubber-soled boots or shoes, and making little sound while walking. No one was in sight. It was a street with two rows of about fifty small houses and there were three lamps on either side. The lamp nearest to the child’s house could be seen clearly, but the others were almost hidden by the smoky air. A car passed the end of the street and its lights showed faintly,but clearly enough to show the smooth skin of a woman’s face. The car disappeared as the woman, wrapped up in her coat, reached the doorway of the child’s house. She put a key in the lock quickly, pushed the door open and stepped inside, then closed the door without looking round. She began to breathe hard.
She leaned against the door for a moment, then straightened up as if with an effort, and walked towards the door of the front room, the passage leading to the kitchen, and the narrow staircase. She hesitated outside the door, then went up the stairs quickly but with hardly a sound. There was enough light from the narrow hall to show the four doors leading off a small landing(樓梯平臺). She pushed each door open in turn and shone a torch inside, and the light fell upon beds, walls, furniture, a bathroom hand-basin, a mirror which flashed brightness back; but this was not what the woman was looking for. She turned away and went downstairs, and hesitated again at the foot of the stairs, then turned towards the kitchen. Clearly there was nothing there, or in the small washroom that she wanted. Two rooms remained; the front room and a smaller one next to it. She opened the front room door. After a moment, she saw the child’s bed and the child.
小題1:The lights of the car passing the end of the street showed that ______.
A.a(chǎn) woman was driving the car
B.someone was standing by a street lamp.
C.a(chǎn) man and a woman were walking up the street.

A.might be in the kitchen
B.was more likely to be upstairs
C.would be easily seen by the light from the hall

科目:高中英語 來源:不詳 題型:閱讀理解

One of the keys to being successful is persistence(堅持).Once you have determined exactly what you want to achieve, you must take active action in order to succeed.
One of the things you'll notice on your journey towards your goal are roadblocks. That is, you will come across obstacles(障礙) to discourage your progress. Actually, they are a part of life. Everyone would have every success they ever wanted if there were no obstacles. Your job is to be persistent and work through those obstacles. If you find little or no obstacles along the way, chances are that you are not really challenging yourself. And when you do reach your goal, you won't experience the feeling of "sweet success". Make your goal a challenging one!
If you take the time to study any successful person, you will learn that the vast majority of them have had more "failures" than they have had "successes". This is because successful people are persistent; the more they stumble(絆倒)and fall, the more they get right back up and get going again. On the other hand, people that don't get back up and try again, never reach success. For example, Walt Disney was turned down 302 times before he got financing for his dream of creating the "Happiest Place on Earth". Today, due to his persistence, millions of people have shared "the joy of Disney".
Having known these facts, keep in mind that you must constantly reevaluate(再評估)your circumstances and the approach you are using to reach your goal. There is no sense in being persistent at something that you are doing incorrectly! Sometimes you have to modify(修改)your approach along the way. Every time you do something you learn from it, and
therefore find a better way to do it the next time.
Today is the day to begin your journey, using consistency and persistency, towards tomorrow's successes!
小題1:The author seems to hold the belief that      .
A.challenges we come across are beneficial
B.obstacles will surely lead to someone’s success
C.the more obstacles we have, the more discouraged we feel
D.it’s rewarding to enjoy the feeling of“sweet success”
小題2:Which can be inferred from the text?
A.Making a practical goal will ensure your success.
B.Having a beautiful picture will lead to your success.
C.Never giving up in face of failure may contribute to your success.
D.Suffering from more failures will make you disappointed.
小題3:What must you reevaluate constantly?
A.Attitudes and skills.B.Circumstances and ways.
C.Roadblocks and challenges.D.Failures and successes.
小題4:What’s the text mainly about?
A.Persistence makes for successB.Overcome obstacles
C.Challenge yourselfD.Failure is the mother of success

科目:高中英語 來源:不詳 題型:閱讀理解

Down-to-earth means being honest, open, and easy to deal with. It is a pleasure to find someone who is down-to-earth. A person who is down-to-earth is easy to talk to. He or she accepts others as equals. A down-to-earth person may be an important member of society, of course, but they do not let their importance go to their heads, and they do not consider themselves to be better than others who are less important. Someone who is filled with self-importance and pride, often without cause, is said to have his nose in the air. There is no way a person with his nose in the air can be down-to-earth.
Americans use another expression that is similar in some way to down-to-earth. The expression is both feet on the ground. Someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality. He has what is called common sense. He may have dreams but he does not allow them to block his knowledge of what is real. The opposite kind of person is one who has his head in the clouds. A man with his head in the clouds is a dreamer whose mind is not in the world. Sometimes such a dreamer can be brought back to reality; sharp words from the teacher, for example, can usually get a daydreaming student to put both feet back on the ground.
The person who is down-to-earth usually has both feet on the ground. But the opposite is not always true. Someone with both feet on the ground may not be as open and easy to deal with as someone who is down-to-earth. When we have both our feet firmly on the ground, we are realistic and we act honestly and openly toward others, and our lives are like the ground below us, solid and strong.
小題1:If a person has his nose in the air, he ____. 
A.is down to the earth
B.is easy to deal with
C.a(chǎn)lways thinks he is more important than others
D.is confident
小題2:If a person has both feet on the ground, he ____. 
A.is in touch with reality, and doesn’t have any dreams
B.has some dreams but he is realistic
C.is honest, open and easy to deal with
D.is honest, open but hard to deal with
小題3:The underlined sentence “But the opposite is not always true.” most probably means that ______.
A.the person who has his nose in the air is not true
B.a(chǎn) man with his head in the clouds is often not intelligent
C.the opposite direction is always wrong
D.a(chǎn) person who has both feet on the ground may not be down-to-earth

Two graduates from Cambridge University in the United Kingdom found themselves about to graduate, yet with loans to pay off. The pair decided to begin a strange, year-long project to battle their debt.
The men, Ross Harper and Ed Moyse, set up the site BuyMyFace.co.uk. last October as a way to get rid of the $80,000 they shared as student loans. The idea behind the project was to earn money by selling their faces as advertising space every day for a year. Each day, they advertise a different business on their site by painting the brand's logo or name on their faces and including a link to the company’s site. After they paint their faces and publish them on the site, Harper and Moyse go out to highly populated areas such as music festivals and theme parks to maximize their faces’ exposure.
At this time, Harper and Moyse have advertised their faces for over four months without skipping a day and they're more than halfway to their goal. Though they first started charging a minimum of about USD $1.60 per company, the prices have risen as their popularity increased. For advertising space during the remainder of April, they range between USD $250 and $750. 
Terri L. Rittenburg, associate professor of marketing at the University of Wyoming, said she had heard of people tattooing (紋身) logos on themselves before, but this idea is much better. According to her, at first the idea would be new and novel and attract attention, but she is unsure how long it would last.
At least for now, companies that have bought Harper and Moyse’s faces have written positive comments on the pair’s website. “We had a three percent increase in website traffic on the very day and for two days more afterwards,” said an alcoholic beverage company.
小題1:Which of the following was most possibly taken from the website BuyMyFace.co.uk.?
A.B.C.D.
小題2: Harper and Moyse go to highly populated areas to _____.
A.have funB.make friendsC.show their facesD.find new customers
小題3:We can infer from the article that the two men _____.
A.must have earned more than $40,000
B.a(chǎn)ren’t getting on well with their project
C.may close their site next month
D.a(chǎn)lways work hard except on holidays
