科目:高中英語 來源: 題型:

 One Saturday morning after breakfast, I returned to my dormitory and saw the house parent chasing the beautiful butterflies, hundreds of which lived in the bushes around the orphanage. I carefully watched as he caught these beautiful creatures, one after another, and then took them from the net and stuck straight pins through their head and wings,pinning them onto a heavy cardboard sheet.

  How cruel it was to kill something of such beauty. When the house parent went inside to answer the phone, I walked up to the cardboard and looked at the butterfly that he had just pinned to the large paper. It was still moving about, so I reached down and touched it on the wing,causing one of the pins to fall out. It started flying around and around, trying to get away but it was still pinned by one wing with another straight pin. Finally its wing broke off and the butterfly fell to the ground, still trembling. I tried to let it fly away before the house parent came back. But I failed.

  When the house parent came back,he was angry with me though I didn't admit doing any?thing. He picked up the cardboard paper and started hitting me on the head. There were all kinds of butterfly pieces going everywhere. He threw the cardboard down on the ground and told me to pick it up and put it in the garbage can inside the back room of the dormitory and then he left. I sat there in the dirt for the longest time trying to fit all the butterfly pieces back together so I could bury them whole, but it was too hard to do. So I prayed for them and put them in an old torn-up shoebox and I buried them in the ground near the blackberry bushes.

  Every year when the butterflies would return to the orphanage and try to land on me,I would try and shoo them away because they did not know that the orphanage was a bad place to live and a very bad place to die.

(   ) 1. Why didn't the butterfly that the writer wanted to set free fly away?

   A.Because it was pinned to the paper.

   B.Because it refused to fly away.

   A.The house parent doubted the writer.

   B.The writer admitted trying to set the butterfly free.

   C.All the butterflies flew away thanks to the writer's help.

   D.The writer put all the dead butterflies in the garbage can.

(   ) 3. The writer tried his best to fit all the butterfly pieces back together in order to

    A. save them   B. make the house parent angry

   C. be proud of himself   D. bury the butterflies whole

(   ) 4. What does the underlined phrase "shoo them away" in the last paragraph mean?

  Once upon a time,a doting mother asked Albert Einstein what she should read to her son to help him grow up as brilliant and intelligent as the famous scientist. "Fairy-tales," he said,wisely nodding his head.

  Why? Why would Albert Einstein the Nobel Prizes winning physicist recommend reading fairy-tales? Was he joking? All the evidence suggests he was deadly serious. He also said, "When I examine myself and my methods of thought,I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than any talent for abstract, positive thinking.”

  Childhood is one of the factors that blur(使變模糊) the distinctions between the self and oth?er objects. Thus fantasy stories appeal to children and appear to make sense to them.

  There are several commonly accepted genres(流派) of fantasy, "Animal Fantasy" which centers around the lives of lovable talking animals and "Modem Fantasy" which focuses on ad?ventures in other worlds and magical events. I am inclined to add a third genre "Human and An?imal Fantasy" , which mixes human and animal characters. Another genre of fantasy may be "High Fantasy" which features heroes who combat evil and save the world from destruction.

  Fantasy feeds a child's imagination and encourages creativity. The enjoyment that the genre engenders(產生) promotes reading and enhances literacy. Moreover, the fantasy genre may be used for teaching purposes. For example:A story about cruelty to animals would limit appeal to a child:however a fantasy celebration of closeness between the children and their pets may give an element of excitement as the children are able to save animals from someone with cruel inten?tions.

  Children love the Harry Potter series,and if they only see the movies they miss a great op?portunity to develop their reading skills by spending time with the lovable young wizards and witches(巫婆) of the Hogwarts community.

(   ) 1. A student Who likes reading about heroes will probably read        .

   A.Animal Fantasy

   B.Modem Fantasy

   C.Human and Animal Fantasy

   D.High Fantasy

(   ) 2. Children are advised to read the Harry Potter series because        .

   A.they are better than the films

   B.they can help improve children's reading ability

   C.the films are not true to the original stories

   D.children can't learn much from the films

(   ) 3. Which of the following best gives the main idea of the sixth paragraph?

   A.Fantasy can be educational to children.

   B.Fantasy can bring great joy to children.

   C.Children should not read stories about animals.

   D.Fantasy can teach children to be kind to animals.

(   ) 4. The author of the passage probably believes        .

   A.children should not read too much fantasy

   B.all genres of fantasy are suitable for children

   C.fantasy can benefit children in many ways

   D.Human and Animal Fantasy is most suitable for children

科目:高中英語 來源: 題型:

  There are some parts of the world where earthquakes often happen,but millions of people still choose to live in these areas. As a consequence, several technologies have evolved to help make buildings more resistant to collapse during an earthquake,many of them using roller Or ball bearings(軸承) .

  People usually think of ball bearings as a way to decrease friction(摩檫) ,and question how that use could apply to things that don't typically move,like buildings, in scenarios like earth?quakes. However, bearings aren't intended to enable things to move effortlessly. They've just there to allow buildings to move at all. Damage from earthquakes is caused when structures are shaken and forced to move,and their rigid(堅硬的) forms don't permit them to do so without giving way and breaking. By using strategically-placed bearings, builders have observed a way to isolate the bases of buildings from the rest of their structures,making it possible for them to move independently without causing greater stress on the building's otherwise solid frame. Some of these bearings are large and rubber, while other buildings use huge linear bearings. Some?times ,these earthquake-proofing technologies are even used to help skyscrapers be built on soft ground, and enable very tall buildings to move with the wind. Without them,these buildings would remain rigid,and be easier to falling over.

  A number of well-known companies produce bearings for builders looking to buy bearings for their seismic(地震的) applications. For one,Timken produces large,roller-style Timken bearings that are used in base isolation earthquake technology. NSK bearings also come in a range of shapes and materials for different seismic and building applications. Not all of the beat?ings carried by seismic bearing distributors resemble the ball bearings that a lot of people are used to seeing in everyday life. Some might look like large rubber discs, while others look like a series of pillars. Regardless of what they look like,these are all bearings, and all provide the purpose of helping large buildings to survive an earthquake.

  Though no approach of building is completely earthquake-proof, things like roller Timken bearings help save lives. It's hard to precisely test earthquake-proofing technology without being able to try it out in an actual earthquake,but every day builders and manufacturers get closer and closer to creating better solutions for surviving seismic disasters.

(   ) 5. Which of the following is true about rigid forms of structures during an earthquake?

   A.They prevent structures from breaking.

   B.They allow structures to move if necessary.

   C.They make structures resistant to collapse.

   D.They don't allow structures to make necessary move. 

(   ) 6. Why does NSK produce various kinds of bearings?

   A.To make them suitable for different buildings.

   B.To use them in different parts of a building.

   C.To satisfy the needs of different people.

   D.To use them in different areas of life.

(   ) 7. We can infer from the last paragraph that earthquake-proofing technology        .

   A.will be put into use very soon

   B.has been tested in an actual earthquake

   C.will be replaced by better solutions

   D.will develop better in the future

(   ) 8. The main purpose of the author is to        .

   A.analyze why buildings collapse during an earthquake

   B.explain the use of bearings during an earthquake

   C.tell us how to make buildings more resistant to an earthquake

   D.advertise for bearings made by Timken
