Where we live, on the eastern shore of Maryland, the gentle waters run in and out like fingers slimming at the tips.
The Canada geese know this place, as do the white swans and ducks. In the autumn, they come home for the winter. Once or twice each year, snow and frozen rain move into the area. When this happens, if the river is at its narrowest, there is a freeze which hardens the water to the ice.
One morning, a friend of mine set the breakfast table beside the huge window, which overlooked the Tred Avon River. Suddenly she leaned forward and cried out, “There is a goose out
there.”
We saw the figure of a large Canada goose, very iii, its wings folded tight to its sides, its feet frozen to the ice.
Then from the dark sky, she saw a line of swans. They floated from the top of the sky downward and at last landed on the ice. My friend was on her feet now, with one unbelieving hand against her mouth. As the swans surrounded the frozen goose, she feared what life it still had might be pecked（啄）out by those great swan beaks.
Instead, those beaks began to work on the ice. The long necks were lifted and curved down, again and again. It went on for a long time. At last, the goose’s head lifted. Its body pulled. Then the goose was free and standing on the ice. And the swans stood in the air watching. Then, as if it had cried, “I cannot fly,” four of the swans came down around it. Their powerful beaks chipped off the ice and held in the feathers. Slowly, the goose spread its wings as far as they could go, and moved slowly into the sky.
This is a true story. I just think of it in the bad moments, and from it comes only one hopeful question:“ If so for birds, why not for man?”
【小題1】What happened to the Canada goose?

A．It was deserted by other geese.B．It was stuck in the ice.
C．It was wounded and couldn’t fly.D．It was lost in the water.
【小題2】 At first the author’s friend was worried that ________.
A．the swans would not help the Canada goose
B．the swans would have the same fate with the Canada goose
C．the Canada goose wouldn’t identify with the swans
D．the swans would peck the Canada goose to death
【小題3】What did the swans do when they saw the Canada goose couldn’t fly?
A．They chipped off the ice held in its feathers.
B．They waited patiently for the ice held in its feathers to melt.
C．They came down and lifted it up to the sky together.
D．They stayed with it and protected it.
【小題4】What would probably happen to the author’s friend in the end?
A．She stood there, watching attentively, still feeling a bit worried.
B．She was on her feet, laughing at the swans and the Canada goose.
C．She was embarrassed and went on with her breakfast silently.
D．She stood there quietly, not realizing tears had come down her cheeks.

What do you know about the sea? You may have seen it. Some of us have swum or bathed in it. It looks beautiful on a fine sunny day and it can be very rough when there is a strong wind. What other things do we know about it? Of course, the sea is very large. In the world there is more sea than land. The sea covers three quarters of the earth. The sea is also very deep in some places. It is not deep everywhere, some parts of it are very great. At one spot, near Japan the sea is nearly 11 kilometers deep! Just think of it, the highest mountain in the world is only about 9 kilometers high! If you have swum in the sea, you know that the water is salty. Rivers carry salt from the land into the sea. Some parts of the sea are more salty than other parts. Do you know the Dead Sea in Arabia? It is very salty. Swimmers cannot sink in it! Fish cannot live in the Dead Sea. It is a strange sea. In most parts of the sea, there are a lot of fishes and plants. Some live near the top of the sea. Others live deep down. No sunlight can reach the depth of the sea. So it is completely dark. Strange fishes live there. Some are blind. Some have their own lights. Some have great jaws. With their great jaws, they swallow fish larger than themselves. The sea can be very cold. Deep sea divers know this well. At the top of the water may be warm. Then as the divers go down, the sea becomes colder and colder.
Many scientists are now making a study of animal and plant life in the sea. They hope to find new resources for mankind.
【小題1】. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A．Land covers one fourth of the area of the earth.

科目：高中英語 來源：2012-2013學(xué)年四川成都棠湖中學(xué)外語實(shí)驗(yàn)學(xué)校高一四月月考英語試卷（帶解析） 題型：閱讀理解

Do you want to live another 100 years or more? Do you want to live never to die? Some experts say, it will be not a dream one day. Modern technology will make it come true. Man will live more years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life.
“ I think we are knocking at the door of immortality,” said Michael, a professor and author of two books on human life expectancy. “I think by 2075 we will see it and it’s no longer a dream. Human’s life expectancy may have not limit.”
At the meeting in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor at New Jersey Medical School said advances in using genes as well as other technology make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past. “There is a great push so that people can live from 120 to 180 years,” he said. “Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 300 or 500 years.”
However, many scientists are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last more than about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less disease, they say failure of the brain and other parts of the body will finally lead all humans to death.
Scientists also hold different opinions on what kind of life man might live.  “If you pass 120, you know; could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life? It’s a big question.” said Leonard Poon, director of the university center.  “At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all.”
【小題1】The underlined word in the second paragraph probably means _____.

A．dying slowlyB．living longerC．living foreverD．dying quickly
【小題2】Donald’s attitude is that______.
A．human beings may never die in the future
B．it is not certain how long humans can live
C．the human body can last about 120 years
D．it is possible for man to live longer in the future
【小題3】What would be the best title for this text?
A．Living longer or notB．Science and long living
C．No limit for human lifeD．Healthy lifestyle and living
【小題4】In the last sentence “get to that point” means ____.
A．get that ideaB．get to 120 years old
C．know how to live foreverD．have good quality of life

科目：高中英語 來源：2011-2012學(xué)年廣東省中山市鎮(zhèn)區(qū)五校聯(lián)考高一下中段考試英語試卷（帶解析） 題型：閱讀理解

What will man be like in the future — in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.
Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively a short period of time, so we may suppose that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity(容量). As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and finally we shall need our brains more and more, and finally we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.
Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger.
On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.
But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.
Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and motions similar to our own.
【小題1】The passage mainly tells us that __________.

A．Man’s life will be different in the future
B．Future man will look quite different from us
C．Man is growing taller and uglier as time passes
D．Man’s organs’ functions will change
【小題2】What serves as the evidence that man is changing?
A．Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had.
B．Man’s hair is getting thinner and thinner.
C．Man’s arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.
D．Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.
【小題3】The change in man’s size of the forehead is probably because __________.
A．he makes use of only 20% of the brain’s capacity
B．his brain has grown larger over the past centuries
C．he will use his brain more and more as time goes on
D．the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time
【小題4】Which of the following is TRUE about a human being in the future?
A．He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.
B．He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.
C．His fingers grow weaker because he doesn’t have to make use of them.
D．He thinks and feels in a different way.
【小題5】It is implied that __________.
A．human beings will become less attractive in the future
B．body organs will become poorer if they are not used often
C．human beings hope for a change in the future life
D．future life is always predictable
