I was always complaining about wind or rain.  26  it was nothing unusual for the arrival of wind or rain, it caused inconvenience for me to go out, and sometimes it even created an awful atmosphere, so I  27  it strongly.

On a rainy day a meteorologist（氣象學(xué)家）I met was very  28  at my great anger caused by rain that made a little inconvenience for me.

He asked, “Have you ever seen typhoon? Do you know what would happen to the world if there were no typhoon?” I shook my head. I had no  29  of how overwhelming it was when it  30  everything away in its way.

“Well, let me tell you,” the meteorologist said. “Without it the  31  of fresh water will be more serious, for it is a great  32  of water supply on earth, Without it, there would be a greater imbalance in the distribution of  33 . The equatorial area that receives the most sunshine on earth  34  entirely on typhoon to disperse（驅(qū)散）heat. Without typhoon the tropics would be even  35  while the frigid zones much colder. As a result the temperate zones would  36  from the world...”

Ignorance made me  37 . I disliked wind only because it ruffled（吹亂）my hair. I hated rain merely because I had to carry an umbrella. But I had no idea at all that typhoon---something much more violent, something a thousand times more  38  than wind or rain---was a  39  to the existence of mankind.

40  no road on earth goes all the way on level ground, there’s no person in the world who can do whatever he pleases.  41  as it is for people to guard against typhoon, it is advisable for a man to stop  42  for a moment before he complains. “  43  typhoon disappeared all together? What would the world become then?” The  44  will keep him calm and lead him closer to truth---he will be better  45  of the world he lives in.

科目：高中英語 來源：2012-2013學(xué)年甘肅省高三第五次診斷考試英語卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

It was a warm April day when a big fat envelope came in the mail from the only college I had ever imagined attending. I tore open the packet. My eyes were fixed on the word “congratulations. ”I don’t remember ever smiling so wide.

Then I looked at my financial（財(cái)政的）package.

The cost of Dream School’s tuition（學(xué)費(fèi)）, room and board was around $ 40,000- an impossible sum! How could I afford to attend? What good reasons did I have to go there when three other fine colleges were offering me free tuition? My other choices were good, solid schools even if they weren’t as famous as my first choice.

In my mind, attending my dream university would be the only way to realize my dream of becoming a world-class writer. My parents understood how I felt. They told me that even though it would be a financial problem, I could go wherever I would be happiest. But as I was always careful with money, I wasn’t sure what to do.

One of the schools that offered me a full ride had an informational dinner one night in the spring. Considering my parents’ financial difficulties, I decided to drive the 45 minutes and attend. At first, all I had planned to do was to smile politely, eat free food, listen quietly. But I surprised myself.

At dinner the president of the university talked about the wonderful activities on campus （校園）including guest lectures and social gatherings. He also made it perfectly clear that free food would be offered at all future events. He continued with explanations of professors, class sizes, activities, and sporting events on campus. As he spoke, I began to realize that this school, though not as good as my first choice, might be the best one for me. It seemed small yet with many great programs. It seemed challenging yet caring.

As the president ended his speech, we clapped politely and pushed back our chairs. As I walked out that door, a feeling of comfort washed over me. Looking at the campus that night, I realized that I would be spending the next four years right there.

In all honesty, my university is not as well-known as my “dream”university. However, it turned out to be the right choice of schools for me.

1.How did the author feel when he started to read the letter?

A．He was lost in his dream.

B．He was full of joy.

C．He was worried about the money.

D．He was uncertain which school to go to.

2.We can learn from the passage that the parents were _________.

A．honest           B．supportive         C．strict             D．decisive

3.In Paragraph 5, “offered me a full ride”can be replaced by “_______”.

A．would charge me nothing for tuition         B．would pay for transport to the school

C．would show me around the campus          D．would offer free meals at all events

4.What does the author mainly want to say?

A．You should consider comfort in your choice of schools.

B．You should try your best to attend your dream school.

C．Your second-choice college may actually be your best fit.

D．Your choice of schools should be based on their fame.

第三部分：閱讀理解(共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分)

閱讀下列短文，從每篇短文后所給各題的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。

“Tell me, Wally,” my amazed friend asked the driver, “have you always served customers like this?”

Wally smiled into the back-view mirror.

“No, not always. In fact, it’s only been in the last two years. My first five years driving, I spent most of my time complaining like all the rest of the taxi drivers do. Then I heard the personal growth of Wayne Dyer, on the radio one day. He had just written a book called You’ll See It When You Believe It. Dyer said that if you get up in the morning expecting to have a bad day, you’ll rarely disappoint yourself. He said, ‘Stop complaining! Distinguish yourself from your competition. Don’t be a duck. Be an eagle. Ducks quack and complain. Eagles fly high above the crowd.’”

“That hit me right between the eyes. Dyer was really talking about me. I was always quacking and complaining, so I decided to change my attitude and become an eagle. I looked around at the other taxis and their drivers. The taxis were dirty, the drivers were unfriendly, and the customers were unhappy. So I decided to make some changes. I put in a few at a time. When my customers responded well, I did more.”

“I take it that has paid off for you,” I said.

“It sure has,” Wally replied. “My first year as an eagle, I doubled my income from the previous year. This year I’ll probably quadruple(增四倍) it. You were lucky to get me today. I don’t sit at taxi-stands anymore. My customers call me for appointments on my cell phone or leave a message on my answering machine. If I can’t pick them up myself, I get a trustworthy friend to do it and I take a piece of the action.”

Wally was phenomenal. He was running a first-class service out of a Yellow Taxi.

I’ve probably told that story to more than fifty taxi drivers over the years, and only two took the idea and ran with it. Whenever I go to their cities, I give them a call. The rest of the drivers quacked like ducks and told me all the reasons they couldn’t do any of what I was suggesting.

Wally, the Taxi Driver, made a different choice.

51.   The underlined word “phenomenal” means ______.

A．easy-going           B．warm-hearted      C．flexible              D．remarkable

52.   Wally doesn’t park his taxi at taxi-stands just because _______.

A．his income doubles.

B．his taxi is usually fully booked

C．he has a company of his own.

D．he has a look of a disgusting eagle

53.   Wally’s income doubled when he improved his service about ______.

A．one year ago                                        B．two years ago

C．five years ago                                       D．seven years ago

54.   After reading the passage we may draw a safe conclusion that ______.

A．kindness must be rewarded

B．it’s easy to say but hard to do

C．good service pays off in the end

D．the early bird catches the worm
