Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be a most wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she said again, “is for Elizabeth.”I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed in action. But asa young girl. I wanted to have heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional（易动感情的）”. But she lived “on the surface “.As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace — it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.But the present of her desk told me, as she'd never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside —a photo of my father and a one-paper letter, folded and refolded many times. It was my letter.“In any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.”21. The writer began to love her mother's desk________.A. after Mother diedB. before she became a writerC. when she was a childD. when Mother gave it to her22. The passage shows that_________.A. Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughterB. Mother was too serious about her daughter in wordsC. Mother wrote to her daughter in careful wordsD. Mother wrote to her daughter in careless words23. The underlined word “gulf” in the third passage means_______.A. deep misunderstanding between the old and the youngB. different ideas between mother and daughterC. free talks between mother and daughterD. part of the sea going far in land24. What did Mother do with her daughter's letter asking for forgiveness?A. She had never received the letter.B. For years, she often talked about the letter.C. She didn't forgive her daughter at all in all her life.D. She read the letter again and again till she died.25. What's best title of the passage?A. My letter to MotherB. Mother and childrenC. My Mother's DeskD. Talks between Mother and meBCheating can happen in a lot of different ways. When people cheat, it's not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game.Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesn't solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won't help on the next test— unless the person cheats again.Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.Some kids cheat because they're busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they can't pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isn't a good idea.If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn't study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you don’t have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school.A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.26. The author thinks that when kids cheat in class,________.A. it is unfair to other peopleB. it does harm to their healthC. teachers should punish themD. teachers shouldn't stop them at once27. Some students like cheating mainly because_________.A. the material in the test is very difficultB. they want to do better than the othersC. cheating can make hard things seem very easyD. they have little time to study their lessons28. The fourth paragraph mainly tells us______.A. cheating isn't a good ideaB. why kids cheat in the testC. some kids can't pass the test without cheatingD. some kids don't spend the time studying29. We can learn from the passage______.A. cheaters are often thought highly ofB. people show no respect for those who cheatC. parents whose kids cheat are often in troubleD. kids cheat in the test because of swim practice30. In the passage those cheaters are advised to_______.A. spend more time on school than on sportsB. find good solutions instead of cheatingC. try hard to be intelligent rather than lazyD. ask their classmates for good methods of studyNew wordsNew phrasesNew sentences参考答案1-5 ACDBC 6-10DACBA 11-15 BCADB 16-20CDCDB21-25 CABDC 26-30ACBBB高考期末总复习25分钟限时阅读天天练十七第一部分：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）One man was to meet his wife downtown and spend some time shopping with her.

He got $ 10 for each A.”I suddenly became concerned. These payoffs might get parents through grammar school, but what about high school and beyond? What would be left after the electric guitar, the cellphone, and the portable DVD player?I saw the road ahead: As the homework load increased, my income would decrease. I saw my comfortable lifestyle vanish before my eyes—no more of those $ 5 bags of already-peeled organic carrots. No more organic anything!I started to feel surprised and nervous. Would every goal attained by my two children fetch a reward? A high grade point average? A good class ranking? Would sports achievements be included in this reward system: soccer goals, touchdowns, runs-batted-in? What about orchestra? Would first chair pay more than second? I’d be penniless by eighth-grade graduation.“We never paid anything for good grades,” said my neighbor across the street, whose son was recently accepted at MIT. “He just did it on his own. Maybe once in a while we went out for pizz a, but that’s about it.”Don’t you just hate that? We’re all running around looking for the MP3 player with the most updates, and she’s spending a few dollars on pizza. She gets motivation; we get negotiation.21．The sentence “As the homework load increased, my income would decrease.” in the third paragraph probably means _____________.A．taking care of the children would influence my workB．I would spend more money on my children’s homeworkC．reducing children’s homework load would cost me a lotD．more rewards would be needed as the children grew up22．We can tell from the passage that the author’s son was in ___________.A. primary schoolB. junior middle schoolC. high schoolD. university23．It can be inferred from the passage that ____________.A．if you pay the children for good grades, they would take it for grantedB．if you buy children pizza for good grades, they would work harderC．children would not ask for rewards when they enter high schoolD．children would not ask for rewards when they enter university24．The example of the author’s neighbor shows that ____________.A．pizza is the best way to motivate childrenB．reward is not the only way to motivate childrenC．the author’s neighbor was very poorD．the author’s neighbor’s son didn’t like reward25．What is the author’s attitude toward paying children reward for good grades?A．Favorable B．Ambiguous C．Disagreeable D．NeutralBI was born an albino. No one in my family had ever known what an albino was, what it meant to be an albino, and what had to be done differently because I was an albino.My parents treated me just like they treated everybody else. That was just about the best thing they could have done. It helped me trust myself, so when the annoyances came along, I could deal with them.True, my photo always looked like a snowball with two pieces of coal for eyes. Kids would tease me, asking if I was joining the circus and calling me “Whitey”. Like most albinos, I had terrible eyesight, and my grades suffered until eventually I overcame my feeling ashamed of myself and realized it was okay to ask to sit in the front of the classroom so I could see the blackboard better. People stared at me when I held reading material right at the tip of my nose so I could see it well enough to read. Even when I was eight or nine, movie-theater clerks started asking me to pay adult prices because I “looked older”.The worst part for me was that because my eyesight was so bad, I couldn’t play sports very well. I didn’t give up trying, though. And I studied harder.Eventually, I got better at school and loved it. By the time I got to college I was double majoring, going to summer school and devoting myself to every kind of extracurricular activity I could find. I had learned to be prou d of being an albino. I did my best to make “albino” a positive word. And I decided to make my living with my eyes.I couldn’t see well enough to play sports, but with a solid education and the drive to do it. I could make a living involved in the field I loved. I’ve done it now for more than thirty years in print and in video, and now in cyberspace. People make jokes about how I’m the only “blind editor” they know, but most of the time the jokes are signs of respect. And I make jokes about being an albino.I was just a proud albino kid from the coal country of Pennsylvania. I now realize that being born an albino helped me to overcome difficulties, gain confidence, and be proud of my personal achievement and humble about my professional accomplishments.26. What is an albino according to the passage?A. Someone with bad eyesight.B. Someone with some kind of disease.C. Someone who looks older than his age.D. Someone who joins the circus.27. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The fact that the author was born an albino.B. What had to be done differently to the author.C. The way that the author’s parents treated him.D. The fact that the author had no idea what an albino was.28. Which of the following statements is true?A. The author’s study was affected by his eyesight at first.B. The author had to pay adult prices for movies when he was still young.C. Despite his bad eyesight, the author played sport well.D. “Albino” has already become a positive word now.29. Why are people’s jokes about the author mostly signs of respect?A. Because he is an albino.B. Because he has a solid education.C. Because they think he is a great “blind editor”.D. Because they think he is proud of his achievement.30. Through the passage, the author tells us _________________.A. that albino helped him achieve successB. how an albino studied wellC. what it is like to be an albinoD. how people should treat an albinoNew wordsNew phrasesNew sentences参考答案1-5 CADBD 6-10 ADABC 11-15 DBCBD 16-20 BCAAD21-25 DBABC 26-30 BCACA高考期末总复习25分钟限时阅读天天练十八第一部分：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）It was one of the hottest days of the dry season.

I was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when I saw my six-year old son, Billy, 6 toward the woods. I could only see his back. He was obviously walking with a great 7 , trying to be as still as possible. Minutes after he 8 into the woods, he came running out again, towards the house. I went back to make sandwiches, 9 that whatever task he had been doing was completed. Moments later, 10 , he was once again walking slowly toward the woods. This activity went on for an hour. 11 I couldn’t take it any longer, followed him on his journey and saw the most amazing 12 .Several large deer stood in front of him. Billy walked right up to them. I almost 13 for him to get away. A huge deer with big antlers was 14 close, but the deer didn’t even 15 as Billy knelt down.

Americans hold both the fork and the knife in their right hands throughout the meal, so they continually change their forks to the left hand when they have to cut their meat. It seems to be funny for the Europeans to see Americans busy changing their dinner sets, making a lot of noises.A few explanations for this American style are as follows:Americans are practical and efficient. Since most of us are right-handed, it is reasonable to keep our working tools at all times in our right hands that can use them most efficiently.Americans, the master of the New World are rebels. They use the zigzag method to break the rules in the Old World and in this way they are thumbing their nose at Mother England. Americans are a restless kind. They do not like to sit in one spot for very long when dining.Forced to do so, they re spond by “playing” with the silver.Whatever the reason for the practice, it is now certainly as American as apple pie. Europeans recognize this and are quick to attack it as evidence of American innocence of form. Arguments against the zigzag method rest not only on grounds of efficiency but also on those of tradition. InOld World Dining, the knife is held in the right hand continually because it can serve as an instant defense against the uninvited intruders (入侵者). However, such alertness(警觉) is out of place in the New World, as every American believes that this is the home of the brave. Americans juggle their silverware, perhaps, to show that they are not afraid and that one of them holding a fork is worth any number of them holding blades.21. Americans use _________ to hold their fork to pick up the salad.A. the right handB. the left handC. both handsD. either of the two hands22. As the masters of the New World, Americans use a different cutting method from that in the Old World to___________.A. show their independence of Mother EnglandB. show their disrespect to Mother EnglandC. add a new tradition to those in Mother EnglandD. show off their creativeness to Mother England23. In the sentence, the underlined word “juggle” probably me ans _______________ .A. holdB. play withC. pick upD. lay down24. Also in the last sentence, the two underlined “them” refer to ______________.A. AmericansB. EuropeansC. Americans and Europeans separatelyD. Europeans and Americans separately25. The following statements are true except that __________.A. European people hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right handB. the zigzag eating method is related to American characteristicsC. the zigzag eating method has become an American featureD. European people will use the American method because of its efficiencyBBirthdays often involve surprises. But this year's surprise on the birthday of the great British playwright William Shakespeare is surely one of the most dramatic.On April 22, one day before his 441st birthday anniversary, experts discovered that one of the most recognizable portraits of William Shakespeare is a fake. This means that we no longer have a good idea of what Shakespeare looked like. "It's very possible that many pictures of Shakespeare might be unreliable because many of them are copies of this one," said an expert from Britain's National Portrait Gallery.The discovery comes after four months of testing using X-rays, ultraviolet light, microphotography and paint samples. The experts from the gallery say the image —commonly known as the "Flower portrait"—was actually painted in the 1800s, about two centuries after Shakespeare's death. The art experts who work at the gallery say they also used modern chemistry technology to check the paint on the picture. These checks found traces of paint dating from about 1814. Shakespeare died in 1616, and the date that appears on the portrait is 1609."We now think the portrait dates back to around 1818 to 1840. This was when there was a renewed interest in Shakespeare's plays," Tarnya Cooper, the gallery's curator (馆长), told the Associated President.The fake picture has often been used as a cover for collections of his plays. It is called the Flower portrait because one of its owners, Desmond Flower, gave it to the Royal Shakespeare Company."There have always been questions about the painting," said David Howells, curator for the Royal Shakespeare Company. "Now we know the truth, we can put the image in its proper place in the history of Shakespearean portraiture."Two other images of Shakespeare, are also being studied as part of the investigation (调查) and the results will come out later this month.___________________________________________________________________________.26. What makes the birthday of Shakespeare dramatic this year?A. It was found that he painted a portrait in 1814 instead of in 1609.B. The Flower portrait has been found to be a fake.C. Three portraits of Shakespeare are being tested to identify a real one.D. It was found that there was a renewed interest in Shakespeare's plays around 1818 to 1840.27hich statement is True according to the passage?A. Portraits of Shakespeare are all unreliable.B. "Flower portrait " was a portrait of Shakespeare given to Desmond Flower.C. 1814 might be when the portrait was drawn.D. The Flower portrait is not often used as a cover for Shakespeare's play.28ow many methods were used to test the portrait?A. Not mentioned.B. TwoC. ThreeD. At least four.29The best title for this passage is _________.A. Birthdays often involve surprisesB. The surprise on the 441st birthday of ShakespeareC. One portrait of Shakespeare is a fakeD. How can we know Shakespeare's appearance?30Which is the best sentence to fill in the blank in the last paragraph?A. Soon we'll know which portrait is reliable.B. Maybe we cannot find a real portrait of Shakespeare.C. If the two portraits are found to be false, they will test more.D. For now what Shakespeare really looked like will remain a mystery.New wordsNew phrasesNew sentences参考答案1-5 BCDBA 6-10 CADAC 11-15 BDACD 16-20 ACBAA 21-25 ABBCD 26-30 BCDBD高考期末总复习25分钟限时阅读天天练十九第一部分：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）I remember my first Christmas party with Grandma.

高二英语上学期25分钟限时阅读天天练—第11天阅读理解A Chat OnlineYour friends might be in Australia or maybe just down the road, but they are all just a few clicks away. Life has changed for millions of young people across the world who now make friends online. Whether you use chat-rooms, QQ, MSN or ICQ, you are a member of this group.“I don’t often talk with my parents or grandparents, but I talk a lot with my old friends on QQ,〞 said Fox’s Shadow, the online name used by a girl student in China. “Most of my classmates use QQ after school.〞QQ is the biggest messaging service in China. A record from Tencent, the company which developed QQ, shows that 4 million people used it one Saturday night in October. And probably Fox’s Shadow was one of them. “I log in (登陆) on Friday nights, and Saturday or Sunday when I feel everything around me boring. I usually spend about 10 hours chatting online every week,〞 she said. “But I never talk with strangers, especially boys or men.〞Even though she likes chatting, she is careful about making friends with strangers online. “You don’t know who you are talking to. You should always be careful about whom you believe on line.〞Many people would like to meet offline when they feel they have got to be known to someone very well. Fox’s Shadow once met one of her online friends face to face. It was a girl who was a football fan like herself and they went to a football match together.A 16-year-old Beijing boy, named Simon online, dislikes QQ users. “I used to chat on QQ, but I found that most people were talking about foolish things,〞 he said. Now he chats online in English, using MSN. “I only chat online because I’ve got friends in Australia, the US and Singapore,〞 he said. “I want to learn more about foreign cultures.〞 But he spends little time chatting on QQ as he sees it as a waste of time and money.“If you are really addicted to (上瘾) it, sometimes you can’t give your mind to your lessons,〞 he said. “And friends in your real life are always more important than those so-called friends you meet online.〞56.People meet face to face offline when they think they ______.A. have known each other wellB. have the same interestC. have enough free timeD. have nothing to do57. Fox’s Shadow thinks QQ is _____.A. the biggest messaging service in ChinaB. a good place to spend her time when boredC. a safe place to chat with strangersD. the best place to make friends58.From the passage, we know “…they are all just a few clicks away〞 means ______.A. it is wonderful to see your friends by clickingB. it is easy and fast to get in touch with your friendsC. it is possible to live much closer to your friendsD. it is popular to make friends online59. Which of the following is the opinion of the Beijing boy named Simon?A. All the people on QQ are talking about foolish things.B. Chatting online can save a lot of time and money than making telephone calls.C. We should always be careful about boys or men online.D. We should think more of our friends in real life.BFriends play an important part in our lives, and although we may think that friendship comes only too naturally, we often don’t clearly understand how to make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few--- for example, the average among students is about 6 per person. In all the cases of friendly relationships, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of intimacy( 亲密) between them and the reasons for their shared interests vary(变化) greatly. As we get to know people, we often think about things like age, race, economic condition, social position, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of great importance, it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background(背景).Some friendly friendships can be kept on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, the same opinions and interests --- they often talk about “being on the same wavelength〞. It generally takes time to reach this point. People who want to be friends have to learn to put up with other s’bad habits and to stand differences.What is different from marriage about friendship is that there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the relation between two people. But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to creature a powerful bond(契约), which can get over differences in background, and break down barriers(障碍) of age, class or race.60. According to the passage, _____.A. friends are those who must share their interestsB. friends are closer than people who just get on with each otherC.all the people know how to make friendsD. every student has six friends61. We can learn from the passage that ____.A. friendship can overcome all differences between two peopleB. there are no special ceremonies to strengthen friendshipC. standing differences in opinion can lead to friendshipD. friendship can be strengthened by smiles and soft voices62．When people talk about “being on the same wavelength,’they mean that they ____.A. watch the same TV programsB. are the same in all waysC. have the same backgroundD. share the same way of thinking and the same interests63．Which of the following is NOT implied(暗示) in the passage?A. Even friends may have different opinionsB. Friends never argue with each other.C. It generally takes time for people to become close friends.D. Someone’s habits may annoy his friends.CI had my first job at the age of thirteen, when a friend of my mother who owned a bookshop hired me for six hours a week to help her in the shop. I was very proud to earn my own pocket money and my parents never interfered(干预) with how I spent it, even when I was spending it foolishly. They believed that by earning money, spending it, and learning from the mistakes, I would become more mature and responsible about how to handle work, relationships with others, and money.Like many American parents, my parents also let me and my brothers do things over which they worried a great deal. When I was sixteen, for example, after I finished high school and before I entered university, I wanted to spend the summer months traveling around Europe. My mother was against the idea of my traveling alone at such a young age, but my father felt that it would be a great experience for me. In the end, my father won the argument on the condition that I limited my traveling to France, my mother' s home, where I had many uncles, aunts and cousins spread out through the country who could provide shelter and help if I needed them.Three years later, my younger brother decided to take a year off after his first year in university and travel through the United States and the Caribbean. Again my mother was very worried and not eager to see my brother leave school, but my father encouraged him and my brother had a fascinating year working his way on trains and ships to earn passage to different ports and cities, and discovering many fascinating places and people.These kinds of experiences are probably rare for children in many countries but in the US they are fairly common. Most parents start pushing their children at a young age to do small things by themselves. By the time they have finished high school, many American kids have already had part-time jobs, traveled around the US or other countries on their own, have selected the university they plan to attend and maybe even decided on their future career, and so on.64. The writer’s parents allowed their kids to travel so that _______.A. it could make the kids become braverB. the kids could earn some pocket moneyC. the kids could find jobs more easilyD. it could bring good t o the kids’ future65. The writer thinks _________.A. his brother gained valuable experiences during the travelB. his brother earned a lot of money by workingC. his brother didn't disappoint his fatherD. his brother's travel was better than his to France66. Which of the following statements is True?A. The author went to France in order to see his relatives.B. The author's mother managed to stop the kids doing dangerous traveling.C. The author' s brother gave up his university to travel in the USA and the Caribbean.D. Many American parents encourage their kids do things independently to prepare for the future.67. The text is mainly about the writer and his brother’s stories to __________.A. do some part-time jobsB. become independentC. travel for experiencesD. earn pocket money________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________New phrases________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________New sentences________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________56—59 ABBD 60—63 BBDB 64—67 DADC。

"That translates into greater mental effort, making it easier to get a headache," he said.Dr Deborah Friedman, a professor of ophthalmology and neurology〔神经学〕 at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York, said: "If your eyes are a little off to begin with then it's really throwing a whole degree of effort that your brain now needs to exert. This disparity for some people will give them a headache."Experts say there are no studies tracking how common it is to get a headache after watching a 3D film.Rick Heineman, a spokesman for RealD, which provides 3D equipment to cinemas, said headaches and nausea were the main reasons 3D technology never took off before.But he said new digital technology addresses many of the problems that had previously caused sore heads.56、What can we learn from what Dr Michael Rosenberg said ?A. A lot of people prefer walking around with very minor eye problems to sitting silently watching 3D films.B. The brain can deal with very minor eye problems under normal circumstances naturally.C. A lot of people haven’t got very minor eye problems when viewing films under normal circumstances.D. People come into very minor eye problems and a minor muscle imbalance when watching 3D films.57、What does the underlined word “prolonged〞 in the 3rd paragraph mean ?A. continuousB. constantC. regularD. long-time58、According to the passage , which of the following is TRUE ?A. It has taken over $1 billion to make the popularity of three-dimensional movies and new 3D television sets.B. Watching a 3D movie leaves viewers confronted with an entirely new sensory experience.C. There are studies tracking how common it is to get a headache after watching a 3D film.D. Rick Heineman said that 3D technology would never take off headaches and nausea in future.59、What’s the main idea of the passage ?A. The expert warns the readers not to watch 3D films because of resulting in an aching head.B. New digital technology gives viewers headaches and eye problems.C.

高二英语上学期25分钟限时阅读天天练—第12天阅读理解( A )When parents talk about school safety these days, they’re usually referring to the increase in violence〔暴力〕at schools.

When driving your kid, deliver and pick them up as close to the school as possible. Don’t leave until they are in the schoolyard or building.e. If your child rides a bike to school, make sure he wears a standard helmet〔头盔〕. Research shows that a helmet can reduce the risk of head injury by 85%.f. Teach your kid to arrive at the bus stop earlier, stay off the street, and wait for the bus to come to a complete stop.g.

Maybe not directly, but a study finds that people who went to college are less at risk of heart disease than other less-educated people. The study shows that blood pressure levels of people who did n’t go to college are much higher than that of college graduates. The study conducted〔进行〕physical examinations of thousands of people over 30 years. The men who didn’t continue their studies after high school had higher blood pressure than the men who completed college education. Meanwhile, the difference in women was even more obvious. A higher blood pressure level is a great risk factor for heart disease. So how is it that the stress of trying to finish papers and assignments〔作业〕at college actually redu ces students’ blood pressure ? Most possibly, it is not education itself that lowers heart disease risk but other factors related to education. Generally, people without a college education earn less money , and other research shows that poverty is another factor of heart disease risk. Besides, there is an connection between poverty and obesity〔肥胖〕,which also has a negative effect on heart health.It looks like going to college has become more attractive : education benefits not only your brain but also your health.66.
