科目：高中英語 來源：2012-2013學(xué)年北京市西城區(qū)（北區(qū)）高一上學(xué)期期末考試英語試卷（帶解析） 題型：閱讀理解

I can still remember the first day when I met my best friend. She had just moved into the neighborhood and her grandmother brought her down to meet me. I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother, scared to look at each other.
Soon, we lost the shyness and started playing with each other, bike riding to each other’s house and having sleepovers. In 7th grade she was going through family problems. However, every summer we would always sit at each other’s house and watch movies on TV and talk about all the boys we liked.
It was last year when I noticed the problem. She suffered from clinical depression（抑郁癥）, and had to go to a hospital during the day. I was very sorry for her at first. But with the late night calls, and meeting each other halfway up the street at midnight, we still stayed in touch. I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend left her, and I knew I still cared about her like a sister.
Yesterday she came to me and said this. “I never knew what a best friend was until you were the only person that would stop me from cutting myself; the only person that ever made me feel better about myself and my problems. You didn’t know this but I was trying to kill myself that very night you called me and I was crying. I owe you so much, and you didn’t even know you were helping me. ”
We both cried. And I guess a kind of lesson from my life so far is to never give up your friends. Even if they aren’t as cool as others, or people think they are crazy, they need someone there. If you leave them, you will only be very sorry. So if friends need you, and you care for them, you should be always there for them.
【小題1】Why did the two girls hide behind their family members when they first met?

A．Because they were playing a game.
B．Because they didn’t like each other.
C．Because they quarreled before.
D．Because they were both shy.
【小題2】What would have happened to her friend if the author had not cared about her?
A．She would have lost her new best friend.
B．She would have killed herself that night.
C．She would have run away from her family.
D．She would have stayed in hospital for a long time.
【小題3】What lesson does the author learn from the story?
A．Always care for your friends.
B．Don’t care about others’ opinions.
C．Never owe your friends too much.
D．Try to be as cool as others.

Alex Taw，a 21?year?old student from Wiltshire，England.He spent last summer like any other high school graduate—hanging out with friends，preparing for college，worrying about his university fees.While most of his peers gave up on their pipe dreams，he sat down with a notebook at home，and jotted down (草草記下) the question：How can I become a millionaire?

The result was the MillionDollarHomepage.com.Alex’s initial investment was 50 pounds to buy web space and a domain (領(lǐng)域) name.He divided the blank homepage into one million pixels (電腦上的像點(diǎn))，10,000 blocks of 100 pixels each.Each pixel was worth $1 with minimum purchase 100 pixels.Within a month Alex had earned some $37,000，enough for him to cover the entire cost of his forthcoming three years at university.In just a few months，he became a real millionaire.

How did he come up with the idea of the Million Dollar Homepage?

“Well，I was trying to think of a way to make some money before I started university，as I was about to take on a huge debt and I was already overdrawn (透支)．Swift action was necessary！”He said.

He also added，“The important thing is that anything is possible—we are only limited by our imagination.I always had this belief that a good idea can be successful on its own.I think I’ve learnt that if we think deeper there are magical solutions hiding away for us to find.”

His personal philosophy around money is：Money is not everything，but it’s an essential part of the way we live.Having_some_removes_a_certain_amount_of_stress，but，unless_we_are_careful，it_can_create_a_new_type_of_stress.

He also said，“I still want to go to university.Aside from gaining knowledge about business，there are other reasons—exploring your interests，meeting new people，and being in a creative environment.”

Besides making contributions to society，he would try to encourage and inspire people to think of creative solutions to problems，whatever they are.

Since my retirement(退休) from teaching music in 2001 , I have spent a good deal of time painting as an artist . I actually began drawing again in the summer of 1995 when my father died , so perhaps I was trying to recover from the loss of my father , or maybe it was just that it brought back memories of him . In any case , I drew pen and ink animals and landscapes(風(fēng)景畫) much influenced by Krenkel and St. John for five years .

For some strange reason , I had been waiting until my retirement to start doing watercolors again , but as soon as I walked out of the school door for the last time I picked up my brushes and rediscovered Andrew Wyeth , who quickly became my favorite artist . I had looked through all the art books I had on my shelves and found his watercolors to be the closest to how I thought good watercolors should look . So I painted landscapes around Minnesota for three years and tried out many other types of painting . However , watercolors remained my first choice , and I think I did my best work there , showing my paintings at a number of art exhibitions .

Art is now together with my piano playing and reading . There is a time of everything in my world , and it is wonderful to have some time doing what I want to do . As Confucius once said , “ At seventy I can follow my heart’s desire .”

1. What is the text mainly about ?

A. Learning to paint in later life .           B. How to paint wathercolors .
