It’s a sad and familiar sentence from a beggar that we often hear. Usually, when asked “Can you spare some   36  ?” I’ve been struck with a feeling of   37  if I passed by without giving a coin or two.
My conscience was hurt again when I was making a   38  in Venice in 2006. I was sitting in a quiet café. Outside the café on the street was an old woman on her knees,    39 . Steady streams of   40  were walking past her. A young backpacker stood away from the crowd drinking something, but I noticed he was also    41   the woman.
She knelt motionlessly, her head almost touching the ground, a worn blanket providing little    protection   42   the cold. The sight was especially   43  when compared with the signs of the   44  city around her.
A tourist group hurried along the street,   45  at the woman and walked on. Another group of tourists arrived,   46  again, walked past her. The backpacker watched. Then, as I prepared to leave, I stopped at the sight of the backpacker   47  and placing some money in the woman’s cup. He did this rather   48 , just before the arrival of another tourist group. I watched   49  the leader of the group stopped and put some money in the cup. With the young man   50  the way, other tourists followed.
The young backpacker   51  this process in front of the next tour party going past. Once again, the subtle peer(同伴) pressure   52  on the tourists, who all added coins to the cup. His work   53 , the young man walked over to the old beggar woman and said, “I hope that helps a bit.”
I placed some money in the woman’s cup and  54  my tour, light-hearted after witnessing such a   55  act of caring.

試題分析:文章大意：當(dāng)我們聽到乞丐在街上乞求的語言時是那么熟悉和難過。2006年作者在威尼斯旅游，正在一家咖啡屋里所見的一幕：有一位穿著衣衫襤褸的女在街上跪著行乞，來威尼斯旅游的路過的第一批人沒有給予錢，一位背包旅游者，在旅游者路過時，在他們面前給那位乞丐錢，接著后面的旅游者見到這位背包旅行者給錢給那個乞丐后陸陸續(xù)續(xù)地給，他感動了作者，明白了這位背包者是這樣幫助那位乞丐的。
小題1:C 上下文串聯(lián)。A 時間； B 努力；C零錢；D 獎賞；上文提到的是乞丐熟悉的語言，下文有提到乞丐，所以他們行乞主要是想得到money，所以與錢有關(guān)的單詞就是change;故C正確。
小題2:B 名詞辨析。A 滿意； B 罪過； C 生氣；D 愉快；作者假設(shè)路過的話補給一兩個硬幣就會覺得有一種負(fù)罪感所困惑。故選B項。
小題3:D 名詞辨析。A演講；B 報告；C 學(xué)習(xí)；D 旅游；根據(jù)常識：威尼斯是個著名的旅游城市，同時根據(jù)下文：A tourist group hurried along the street；Another group of tourists”中提到旅游者們，可以推斷作者來這里也是旅游；故D正確。
小題4:B 上下文串聯(lián)。上文提到提到乞丐說行乞的話以及下文該婦女跪著行乞可知是正在行乞；故B正確。
小題5:C 名詞辨析。A 乘客；B 顧客； C 旅游者； D 外國人；根據(jù)下文第四段第一句“A tourist group hurried along the street,”“ Another group of tourists arrived,”及最后一句“other tourists followed.”可知講的是旅游者們川流不息。故C正確。
小題6:C 動詞辨析。A 忽視； B 服務(wù)； C 觀察； D 跟隨；根據(jù)第四段第三句“The backpacker watched.”可知背包者觀察者乞丐和旅行者們路過時而開始幫助哪位婦女乞丐。故選C正確。
小題7:A 介詞辨析。A 防備，抵御寒；B 為了； C 由于；D 在 里面；句意：乞丐她毫無表情頭觸地跪著，一破爛的毯子幾乎無法抵御寒冷。前面又是protection，故選A正確。
小題8:B 形容詞辨析。A 令人驚訝的； B 感人的； C 迷惑的； D 令人有趣的；句意：當(dāng)把這場景與乞丐周圍城市的跡象比較時，這場景是特別的令人同情。故此空填“令人同情的；感人的”選B正確。
小題9:C 上下文串聯(lián)。 A 平靜的 和平的；B 嘈雜的； C 富有的，D 原始的，落后的；根據(jù)上下文可知：女乞丐在吸引很多游客的威尼斯行乞，與城市富有的生活跡象形成鮮明對比。故C正確。
小題10:A 動詞辨析。A 一瞥；B 嘲笑； C 叫喊； D 盯著；句意：一群旅游者匆忙地沿著街道行走，一瞥那女乞丐，并繼續(xù)行走。下一句有提到：另一群旅游者走過她旁邊。可見路人只是看她一眼。故A 正確。
小題11:C 連接詞辨析。 A 除非 否則； B 因此； C 但是； D 或者；根據(jù)本段第一、二句“一群旅游者匆忙地沿著街道行走，一瞥那女乞丐，并繼續(xù)行走。然而另一群旅游者走過她旁邊。”，作者以為另一群旅游者會看，可是他們也繼續(xù)行走。表示轉(zhuǎn)折。故C 正確。
小題12:B 動詞短語辨析。A 向四周看； B 向前走； C 環(huán)繞； D 破門而入； 句意：那時，作者準(zhǔn)備離開，就停下來看到背包者向前走去。下文又提到：背包者過去放錢進(jìn)帽子去。可知選B正確。
小題13:C 副詞辨析。A秘密地； B 粗心地； C蓄意；有意地，D 渴望地；下文講到：他是過去放錢到乞丐的帽子里，而且重復(fù)了幾次，目的是做給路過的旅游者們給予乞丐幫助，所以是有意地，選C正確。
小題14:D 連接詞辨析。 A 自從。。。B 在   之前； C 在  之后； D 由于； 句意：因為另一群人的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)停下來放錢，緊跟的同一群人里就放錢，因此表示原因，故D正確。
小題15:A 動詞辨析。 A 帶領(lǐng)； B 展示； C 指向； D 指；句意：背包者，即年輕人做著同樣的方式，with+賓語+賓補，是背包者發(fā)出show的動作，故A正確。
小題16:D 上下文串聯(lián)。A 停止； B 有價值； C 制作； D 重復(fù)；根據(jù)上下文：背包者做了同一動作幾次，所以D 正確。
小題17:C 動詞辨析。A 移動； B 答復(fù)； C 起作用； D 搬；句意：來自同伴的微妙的壓力在游客們身上起作用了。從本句的后半部分“who all added coins to the cup.”看出:游客們受同伴的影響，也給那女錢。Work在這里是“起作用”的意思；故C 正確。
小題18:A 動詞時態(tài)辨析。語境：那背包者重復(fù)給錢的動作做完了之后，走到那女乞丐面前說道，“我希望那會幫助許多�！边@里強調(diào)幫助的工作完了，用獨立主格結(jié)構(gòu)。故A正確。
小題19:B 動詞辨析。A 取笑； B 繼續(xù)； C 開始； D 耽誤；語境：看到剛才的一幕，我也給那女的一些錢，然后繼續(xù)我的旅行，從后面“l(fā)ight-hearted after witnessing such a   55  act of caring.”看出作者做了好事感覺一身輕松。應(yīng)該是繼續(xù)旅行。
小題20:B 形容詞辨析。 A 有趣的； B 明智的； C 簡單的； D 謙虛的；作者目睹了這樣幫助人的行為而感到那是一種明智的關(guān)心行為，故B正確。

Bum rate is the speed at which a startup business consumes money. My rate would be $ 50,000 a month when my new media company started. So, I began looking around for individuals who would be my first investors. “Angel money” it was called. But when I reviewed my list of acquaintances to find those who might be able to help, I found the number got small.
　　With no other choices, I began meeting with the venture-capital companies. But I was warned they took a huge share of your company for the money they put in. And if you struggled, they could drop you cold.
　　As I was searching for “angel money”, I started to build a team who trusted me even though I didn't have money for paychecks yet.
　　Bill Becker was an expert in computer programming and image processing at a very famous Media Lab at M. I.T. With his arrival, my company suddenly had a major technology “guy” in-house.
　　Katherine Henderson, a filmmaker and a former real-estate dealer, joined us as our director of market research. Steve White came on as operating officer. He had worked for the developer of a home-finance software, Quicken. We grabbed him.
　　We had some really good people, but we still didn't have enough money. One night, my neighbor, Louise Johnson, came for a visit. She and I were only nodding acquaintances, but her boys and ours were constant companions. She ran a very good business at the time.
　　Louise was brilliant and missed nothing. She had been watching my progress closely. She knew I was dying for money and I had prospects but could offer no guarantees of success.
　　She told me that her attorney had talked to mine and the terms had been agreed upon. She handed me an envelope. Inside was a check for $ 500,000.
　　I almost fell down. I heard her voice as if from heaven.
　　“I have confidence in your plan,” she said. “You' 11 do well. You're going to work hard for it, but it' s satisfying when you build your own company.”
　　Who would have thought I'd find an angel so close to home? There were no words sufficient for the moment. We just said good night. She left and I just stood there, completely humbled and completely committed.
小題1:For a newly-established business, bum rate refers to___________.
A．the salary it pays to its staff　B．the interest it pays to the bank
C．the way in which it raises capital　D．the speed at which it spends money
小題2:By "Angel money", the author refers to__________.
A．the money borrowed from banks　B．the money spent to promote sales
C．the money raised from close friendsD．the money needed to start a business
小題3:To get help from a venture-capital company, you may have to__________.
put up with unfair terms　        　B. change your business line
C. enlarge your business scope     　　D. let them operate your business
小題4:The author easily built a team for his company because__________.
A．they were underpaid at their previous jobs
B．they were turned down by other companies
C．they were confident of the author and his business
D．they were satisfied with the salaries in his company
小題5: Louise decided to lend money to the author because__________.
A．she wanted to join his company
B．she knew he would build a team
C．she knew his plan would succeed
D．she wanted to help promote his sales

A few days ago we – that’s me and the husband – took a cab to the station. Chat with the driver fell to the wrong of cyclists, and the misunderstanding of the road rules. So far as the rules of the road go, there seems to be one basic principle: when you are driving a car you hate bikes, when you are riding a bike you hate cars (and I guess walkers hate everyone). 
There is an obvious difference of viewpoint built in here. It wasn’t until I started to drive a car (almost 20years after I had first rode a bike) that I actually realized that you could not see a cyclist at night without lights. In fact I now want to shout at late night cyclists without lights(like motortists once did at me): “You’ll get killed, sunshine, I can’t see you.”
The problem is that cyclists do ride headlong into danger. It's not just not having lights. It’s biking on pavements (and so threatening to injure a load of innocent walkers in the process) and biking down one-way streets the wrong way.
I admit that I do bike the wrong way down a one-way street sometimes. My feeble(軟弱無力) defense is that I try always to do it as if I know I was doing wrong. That is slowly, with an apologetic look on the face, and ready to get off at any minute. I can’t bear the guys(一伙人) (usually, but not always it is guys) who do it as if they owned the place, and at high speed.
So cyclists are not entirely innocent. But they are among the disadvantaged groups, because the bottom line is that a car or a lorry can kill a cyclist and not the other way around.
小題1:When did the writer realize the danger for late night cyclists without lights?
A．Not until she became a driver herself.
B．Not until she had driven a car for 20 years.
C．After she was shouted at by a motorist.
D．After she was once knocked down by a group of guys.
小題2:When the writer biked the wrong way down a one way street, she felt_________.
A．a(chǎn)ngryB．guiltyC．innocentD．proud
小題3:Which group is most likely to face danger according to the writer?
A．walkers B．passers-byC．cyclists D．motorists
小題4:What can we learn about the writer?
A．She often took a cab with her husband.
B．She has been a motorist for over 20 years.
C．She used to ride a bike without lights at night.
D．She often biked the wrong way down a one way street.

Once on a dark winter's day，when the yellow fog hung so thick and heavy in the streets of London that the lamps were lighted and the shop windows blazed with gas as they did at night，an odd-looking little girl sat in a cab with her father and was driven rather slowly through the main street.
Sara Crewe leaned against her father，who held her in his arms，as she stared out of the window at the passing people with an old-fashioned thoughtfulness in her big eyes. At this moment she was remembering the voyage she had just made from Bombay with her father，Captain Crewe. She was thinking of what a strange thing it was that at one time one was in India in the hot sun，and then in the middle of the ocean，and then driving in a strange vehicle through strange streets.
“Papa，” she said in a low，mysterious little voice which was almost a whisper.
“What is it，darling?”Captain Crewe answered，holding her closer and looking down into her face．
"Is this the place？＂Sara whispered.
"Yes，little Sara，it is. We have reached it at last.”
It seemed to her many years since he had begun to prepare her mind for "the place”，as she always called it. Her mother had died when she was born，so she had never known or missed her.Her young，handsome，rich father seemed to be the only relation she had in the world．
During her short life only one thing had troubled her，and that thing was "the place” she was to be taken to some day. The climate of India was very bad for children，and as soon as possible they were sent away from it-generally to England and to school.
"Couldn't you go to that place with me，Papa？＂she had asked when she was five years old．
"Couldn't you go to school，too？ I would help you with your lessons.”
"But you will not have to stay for a very long time，little Sara，”he had always said. "You will grow so fast that it will seem scarcely a year before you are big enough and clever enough to come back and take care of Papa.”
She had liked to think of that．She liked to talk to him and read his books-that would be what she would like most in the world，and if one must go away to "the place” in England to attain it，she must make up her mind to go．She liked books more than anything else，and was，in fact，always inventing stories of beautiful things and telling them to herself.
Captain Crewe held her very closely in his arms as the cab rolled into the big，dull square in which stood the house which was their destination．
小題1:The story happened_______．
A．on a moonless night B．on a foggy day
C．on a hot day D．on a starry night
小題2:Sara Crewe came to England to_______
A．visit her relatives B．see her mother's house
C．receive education D．buy books for her father
小題3:We can learn from the story that Sara Crewe was_______．
A．scepticalB．curiousC．cheerfulD．imaginative

He held the blazing(點燃) matches to a piece of wood. After a while, he became aware that he could smell his hands burning. Then he began to feel the pain. He opened his hands, and the blazing matches fell on to the snow. The flame went out in a puff of gray smoke.
The man looked up. The dog was still watching him. The man got an idea. He would kill the dog and bury his hands inside its warm body. When the feeling came back to his fingers, he could build another fire. He called to the dog. The dog heard danger in the man's voice. It backed away.
The man called again. This time the dog came closer. The man reached for his knife. But he had forgotten that he could not bend his fingers. He could not kill the dog, because he could not hold his knife.
The fear of death came over the man. He jumped up and began to run. The running began to make him feel better. Maybe running would make his feet warm. If he ran far enough, he would reach his friends at Henderson Creek. They would take care of him.
It felt strange to run and not feel his feet when they hit the ground. He fell several times. He decided to rest a while. As he lay in the snow, he noticed that he was not shaking. He could not feel his nose or fingers or feet. Yet, he was feeling quite warm and comfortable. He realized he was going to die. Well, he decided, he might as well take it like a man. There were worse ways to die. The man closed his eyes and floated into the most comfortable sleep he had ever known.
The dog sat facing him, waiting. Finally, the dog moved closer to the man and caught the smell of death. The animal threw back its head. It let out a long, soft cry to the cold stars in the black sky.

Twist was the name of an old champion racing horse. He was past thirty years old, but the heart of the true  36  still beat with the great spirit. However, I knew little about the   37  that the old horse’s spirit would have on my daughter.
My daughter Stacy had ever had a   38  experience with a runaway horse. She was just eight at the time, and a terrifying   39  accompanied the disaster.

My l4-year-old son, John, and I spotted the coat at the same time in a second-hand clothing store. It stood out among big and old coats. It had beautiful tailoring and an unbelievable price: $28. I looked at my son and we both said nothing, but John’s eyes shone. Dark, woolen topcoats were popular with teenage boys, but they could cost several hundred dollars new. This coat was even better. John tried it on and turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror. The fit was perfect.
John wore the coat to school the next day and came home with a big grin. “Did the kids like your coat?” I asked. “They loved it,” he said.
Over the next few weeks, John changed. He was polite, less argumentative, more thoughtful, and on the whole much happier. “Good dinner, mom,” he would say every evening. Without a word of objection he would carry in wood for the stove. One day when I suggested that he might start on his homework before dinner, John, who always put things off, said: “You’re right. I guess I will.” When I mentioned this incident to one of his teachers, she joked that the coat must have changed him.
John and I both know we should never mistake a person’s clothes for the real person within them. But there is something to be said for wearing a standard of excellence for the world to see, for practicing standards of excellence in thought, speech, and behavior, and for matching what is on the inside to what is on the outside. 
小題1:What does the author try to express in the first paragraph?
A．The coat looked like a magical coat.
B．They were good at shopping.
C．The coat was a real bargain.

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

On the first day of class, Mr. Whiteson gave us a lecture about a creature(生物) called cattytiger, a kind of cat-like animal that completely disappeared during the Ice Age. He passed round a skull (頭骨) as he talked, and we all felt interested and took notes while listening. Later, we had a test about that.
When he returned my paper, I was very, very surprised. There was a very large cross through each of my answers. And so it was with everyone else's in our class.
What had happened? Everyone was wondering and couldn't wait to get the answer.
Very simple, Mr. Whiteson explained. He had made up all that story about the cattytiger. There had never been such an animal. So why none of us noticed that and how could we expect good marks for the incorrect answers?
Needless to say, we got very angry. What kind of teacher was this?
We should have guessed it out, Mr. Whiteson said. After all, at the very moment he was passing around the cattytiger skull (in fact, a cat's), hadn't he been telling us that it completely disappeared during the Ice Age? Clearly he was telling a lie. But we just kept busy making notes and none used his head. We should learn something from this. Teachers and textbooks are not always correct.
