15.與上文相對應(yīng)小女孩拿出錢來想數(shù)一數(shù)有多少錢，還沒有來得及數(shù)，作者就把錢給付了，這時小女孩只好把沒有數(shù)的錢再放回錢包里。故選D

16.與前面相對應(yīng)把錢放進錢包，抓起她的包，這里不可能再是錢包，因為她的錢包她一直抓在手里，根據(jù)推理可以判斷，小女孩買藥后把藥放在了另一包里，故選A。

17.當(dāng)作者向車走去，head for向……走去；故選C

18.根據(jù)a little girl no more than seven 和wrapped her arms around my legs for a long moment可以判斷小女孩個子小，所以她要仰頭去看作者，故選 B。

科目：高中英語 來源：2013屆浙江省杭州四中高三第九次教學(xué)質(zhì)檢英語試卷（帶解析） 題型：閱讀理解

Many trees in the Brackham area were brought down in the terrible storms that March. The town itself lost two great lime trees from the former market square. The disappearance of such striking features had changed the appearance of the town center entirely, to the annoyance of its more conservative inhabitants(居民).
Among the annoyed, under more normal circumstances, would have been Chief Inspector Douglas Pelham, head of the local police force. But at the height of that week's storm, when the wind brought down even the mature walnut tree in his garden, Pelham had in fact been in no fit state to notice. A large and healthy man, he had for the first time in his life been seriously ill with an attack of bronchitis.
When he first complained of an aching head and tightness in his chest, his wife, Molly, had tried to persuade him to go to the doctor. Convinced that the police force could not do without him, he had, as usual, ignored her and attempted to carry on working. Predictably, though he wouldn't have listened to anyone who tried to tell him so, this had the effect of fogging his memory and shortening his temper.
It was only when his colleague, Sergeant Lloyd, took the initiative (主動) and drove him to the doctor's door that he finally gave in. By that time, he didn't have the strength left to argue with her. In no time at all, she was taking him along to the chemist's to get his medicine and then home to his unsurprised wife who sent him straight to bed.
When Molly told him, on the Thursday morning, that the walnut tree had been brought down during the night, Pelham hadn’t been able to take it in. On Thursday evening, he had asked weakly about damage to the house, groaned (含糊不清地說) thankfully when he heard there was none, and pulled the sheets over his head.
It wasn't until Saturday, when the medicine took effect, his temperature dropped and he got up, that he realized with a shock that the loss of the walnut tree had made a permanent difference to the appearance of the living-room. The Pelhams’ large house stood in a sizable garden. It had not come cheap, but even so Pelham had no regrets about buying it. The leafy garden had created an impression of privacy. Now, though, the storm had changed his outlook.
Previously, the view from the living-room had featured the handsome walnut tree. This had not darkened the room because there was also a window on the opposite wall, but it had provided interesting patterns of light and shade that hid the true state of the worn furniture that the family had brought with them from their previous house.
With the tree gone, the room seemed cruelly bright, its worn furnishings exposed in all their shabbiness. And the view from the window didn’t bear looking at. The tall house next door, previously hidden by the tree, was now there, dominating the outlook with its unattractive purple bricks and external pipes. It seemed to have a great many upstairs windows, all of them watching the Pelhams' every movement.
“Doesn’t it look terrible?” Pelham whispered to his wife. But Molly, standing in the doorway, sounded more pleased than dismayed. “That's what I’ve been telling you ever since we came here. We have to buy a new sofa, whatever it costs.”
【小題1】Why were some people in Brackham annoyed after the storm?

A．No market could be held.
B．The police had done little to help.
C．The town looked different.
D．Fallen trees had not been removed.
【小題2】In the third paragraph, what do we learn about Chief Inspector Pelham’s general attitude to his work?
A．He finds it extremely annoying.
B．Не is sure that he plays an important role.
C．Не considers the systems are not clear enough.
D．He does not trust the decisions made by his superiors.
【小題3】 What aspect of the Pelhams’ furniture does “shabbiness” in paragraph 8 describe?
A．its condition.B．its colour.C．its position.D．its design.
【小題4】As a result of the storm, the Pelhams’ living-room _____.
A．was pleasantly lighterB．felt less private
C．had a better view D．was in need of repair
【小題5】Why did Molly sound pleased by her husband’s comment?
A．It proved that he was well again.
B．She agreed about the tree.
C．She thought he meant the sofa.
D．It was what she expected him to say.

科目：高中英語 來源：2012-2013學(xué)年河南省高三第一次模擬考試英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Tess was eight years old. Her little brother Andrew was very sick and their parents were completely out of money. She heard Daddy say to her tearful Mother, “Only a miracle can save him now.”

Tess took her money and made her way six blocks to Rexall’s Drug Store.

“And what do you want?” the chemist asked in an annoyed tone of voice. “I’m talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven’t seen for ages.”

“Well, I want to talk to you about my brother,” Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. “He’s really sick. He has something bad growing inside his head and my Daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?”

“We don’t sell miracles here, little girl. I’m sorry but I can’t help you,” the chemist said, softening a little.

“Listen, I can help you.” The chemist’s brother was a well-dressed man. He asked Tess, “What kind of miracle does your brother need?”

“I don’t know,” Tess replied. “Mommy says he needs an operation. But my Daddy can’t pay for it, so I want to use my money.”

“How much do you have?” asked the man from Chicago. “One dollar and eleven cents,” Tess answered. “And it’s all the money I have, but I can get some more, if I need to.”

“Well，what a coincidence (巧合),” smiled the man. “A dollar and eleven cents － the exact price of a miracle for your little brother. Take me to where you live. Let’s see if 1 have the kind of miracle you need.”

That man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon in neurosurgery (神經(jīng)外科). The operation was completed without charge and it wasn’t long until Andrew was home again and doing well．

Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much a miracle cost… one dollar and eleven  cents… plus the faith of a little child.

1.What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A．Tess’s brother would recover because there was a miracle.

B．Tess’s brother would die because his family had no money to treat his illness.
