阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

Maggie was very glad that James was not a frequent visitor to the house. So far as the children were concerned, they had a mystery about him that stirred their imagination. He stirred Maggie’s anger, however, so that she often said to her husband, “It’s me rcy that brother of yours doesn’t come oftener.”In fact James came once a year, unexpectedly, around eight o’clock in the evening, and he stayed for six hours of close discussion with his brother. His arrival was a signal to the children that their bedtime would be delayed. Not that he ever spoke to them or played with them. He took no notice of them, as if he was unable to see children, at least until the time came for him to go. Instead, after his first greeting and a careless kiss, James took no notice of Maggie either, except to add, “You’ll be getting on with the supper, Maggie.” Such was his regard for her.Maggie paid him back in her own way. She kept the children up, the four of them, to keep her company, she said, but of course they sang and made a noise and broke the endless sound of James’s voice. Very late, they dropped off to sleep in their chairs. Then, when James was about to go, Maggie woke them up and so more or less forced him to part with four shillings before he left. That gave her some satisfaction, for James, though rich, was mean. He always went home by the last train, just after two o’clock.Maggie’s children secretly stared at their uncle. They could not forget that he had, in their mother’s words, “lost two wives and taken a third, ” They wondered about those two unfortunate lost ladies. They asked each other what their fate had been, and if neither could ever be found again. James never brought his third wife with him nor ever mentioned her. The children decided that he must be so frightened of losing her that he never allowed her outside the door.1. The underlined word “mercy” in the text most probably means _______.A. lossB. wonderC. lucky thingD. terrible thing2. Maggie never prepared anything special for James because _______.A. he was a man difficult to pleaseB. she never knew when he was comingC. she was too busy looking after her childrenD. he never stayed long enough for a meal3. What do we know about James’ behavior?A. He was a kind man, with love for the family.B. He was generous, especially towards his brother.C. He was anxious to please the family, especially the kids.D. He was rude to his sister-in-law.4. Maggie felt pleased when _______.A. she paid James the money that she owed himB. James gave some money to the childrenC. she had to wake James up to catch his trainD. James thanked her for the nice supper5. The children did not realize that two of James’ wives _______.A. had been deadB. suffered from loss of memoryC. had run away from himD. might appear again one day【答案与解析】本文讲Maggie和她的孩子们对他们的叔叔James来访的不欢迎。

A Mountain of Green BeansAnother envelope in the mail. There’s my name, Alexander Spencer, typed on the front. I throw it under the bed. The piles of envelopes are growing. The envelopes were applications to all the colleges I was supposed to attend. I did open the first envelope. Then I saw the application, all those blank spaces I was supposed to fill with my own writing, spaces for my name and birth date and grade average and …statement of purpose.I looked at them for a long time. I could write for hours and not fill all those spaces. So I put the application back in the envelope. I would fill it out the next day, when I had time. But another envelope arrived. And then the pile began.The pile scares me —it is really like a monster. All the while, I feel the weight of a million envelopes raining down on my head until my grandmother calls me and wants to know how I am.“I am overcome by too many tasks,” I say.“Honey, you just take it bit by bit,”she says, and she reminds me about the green beans.When I was a little kid I hated green beans. But my mom said I couldn’t leave the table until I ate ten green beans. All alone at the table, I stared at the green beans for what seemed like hours. It was a mountain of green beans. I couldn’t do it.My grandma came to me and asked if I could eat one green bean.“But Grandma, I have to eat ten!”She said all I had to do was to eat one green bean. One tiny little green bean. So I ate one. It was bad, but not as bad as I’d thought it would be. Then she asked me again if I could eat one. So I ate one green bean nine more times.My grandma doesn’t know about the envelopes, but she tells me anyone can do one thing every day.Back in my room, I lay down on the bed. Just like I used to do when I was a little kid, I hang my head down to look at the pile of envelopes. There it is. But instead of a monster, I see a pile of green beans. Who’s afraid of green beans?1. Envelopes are piling up because the author _______.doesn’t know how to replyfeels bored of the paper workdoesn’t want to attend collegehas been too busy to open them2. What does the author learn from the story of the green beans?A. A good start is half done.B. Actions speak louder than words.C. A long journey begins with a single step.D. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.3. What do you think the author will do next?A. He will fill out the applications one after another.B. He will go to the college that he dreams of.C. He will throw away all the envelopes.D. He will eat up the green beans.【参考答案】1—3、B C A阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

Parents used to rely on physical punishments to control their children's bad behavior, which has been proven to be very harmful.Therefore, most parents now choose to simply yell, thinking that languageprobably won't hurt as much.But is that really so?Using harsh words such as "lazy" or "stupid" is just as harmful as hitting, according to a new study carried out at the University of Pittsburgh, US."It cannot reduce or correct their problem behavior," said Professor Ming - Te Wang, leader of the study, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal."On the contrary, it makes it worse."In the study, which involved 976 two - parent families, researchers asked the kids about their behavior problems, while asking their parents how often they had yelled at them. Nearly half of the parents admitted that they'd shouted at their children in the past year.Researchers noted that the kids whose parents used more harsh words experienced more behavior problems after-wards, including fighting, stealing, lying as well as symptoms of depression."Adolescence is a very sensitive period when kids arc trying Lo develop their self -identities(个性).When you yell, it makes them feel they are not capable, and that they are worthless and useless," Wang said."This may explain why so many parents say that no matter how loud they shout, their teenagers don' t listen.While harsh yelling can stop bad behavior in the moment, it doesn' t teach children to be-have how parents want them to, according to Professor Alan Kazdin of Yale University, US.What parents need is to praise their children for good behavior.If parents really need to punish their kids, they should try things like taking away smartphones and reminding them that good behavior will get them back. After all, "we want to teach kids, not hurt them," said Kazdin.1.How do most parents react to their children's misbehaving now?A.Letting them alone.B.Beating them.C.Shouting at them.D.Praising them.2.The study finds that using harsh words .A.can make things even worse B.inspires children to do better C.corrects children's bad behavior D.has a better effect than hitting 3.According to Professor Ming - Te Wang, .A.physical punishments are sometimes necessaryB.children are more self - centered in adolescenceC.parents should never punish kids for misbehavingD.harsh yelling damages children's self - confidence4.In Professor Alan Kazdin's opinion, parents shouldA.set good examples for their childrenB.take away their children' s smartphonesC.praise their children for good behaviorD.always think in their children's shoes5.What does the underlined word "them" in the last paragraph refer to?A.children B.bad behaviors C.parents D.smartphones【参考答案】1—5、CADCD【2015高考复习】阅读理解Finally,I entered the university.Because of my careful savings,I did not have to work during the school years.Then,summer came and it was time to work harder than ever.I continued working as a waitress at night,instructed tennis camps several mornings a week and worked as a secretary for a few hours in the afternoons.I even decided to take a class at a community (社区) college.This class at the community college saved me $650.It was an extremely tiring summer and made me anxious to return to my relatively easy life at the university.During my second and third years of undergraduate schooling,I decided to work about five hours per week in the campus (校园)admissions office answering phones.Thisprovided a little spending money and kept me from drawing my savings out.The overall situation looked hopeful as I approached my senior year as long as I could make as much money as I had the previous summer.I wanted to go to Israel to study for 3 weeks,but I hesitated in making this decision because it would cost me $1,600 more to get the credits in Israel.About two weeks later my mom called to tell me that I had $1,600 in the bank that I had forgotten about!One of my concerns about this trip was not only the cost,but the loss of time to make money;however,I made as much that summer in the ten weeks when I was at home as I had made during the fourteen weeks when I was at home the summer before.The way everything worked together to make this trip possible was one of the most exciting things that have ever happened to me.This experience has shaped me in many important ways.The first thing that I learned was the importance of a strong work ethic (道德准则).Working long hours did a lot to develop my character and helped me learn the value of a dollar.It also made me learn how to search for creative ways to settle difficult situations.【语篇解读】作者非常勤奋地做着各种兼职工作,既锻炼了自己,又挣到了钱,为以后自我的发展奠定了良好的基础。

Check for traffic jams before you leave.You can listen to the radio for traffic news,or check on the Intern et to get up­to­minute information on traffic.If the route you want to take is heavy with traffic,you can choose another.Look for a different route permanently.Most traffic jams occur on busy ing country roads could see you avoiding a lot oftraffic.Although the distance you may have to travel is further,it can work out quicker.Set your car radio to receive traffic bulletins.Many new car stereo systems(汽车音响系统)are equipped with a radio system by which you can hear the traffic channel.This way you can get the latest traffic information and change your journey if necessary.________.Most traffic jams usually occur during rush hour,so try to avoid this time period if possible.Some jobs offer flexible working hours so that you can travel to work outside of rush hour.Some jobs even allow you to work from home so as to avoid commuting altogether.Ask your manager to see what you can do if traffic is a problem for you.Use public transport alternatives where available.The easiest way to avoid traffic jams is to take buses or the underground instead of driving your own car.Not only will you avoid traffic jams but you will most likely be saving money as the cost of motoring rises.【语篇解读】随着汽车数量的增加,城市的堵车现象日益严重,因此如何减少自己在路上花费的时间就显得非常重要。

Hello. I’m Jan from ke’s class. My class wants to work t ogether to help the public. We think we have found a great wa y to do this. Last month we did a class project on the highway s near our town. We learned about the Adopt-a-Highway Program. This program brings people together to pic k up litter along the roads. We think it would be a great idea fo r all students in our school to join the program and adopt a hig hway.Adopting a highway is not like adopting a pet. When a high way is adopted,only part of the highway is cared for by a group of people. The group agrees to work every week to keep its part of the high way clean.Each group gets its own sign that has the name of t he group printed on it. The sign is put up at the side of the roa d. This sign lets drivers know who is keeping that area of the r oad clean.The Adopt - a-Highway Program is a great way for people to help their envir onment look nicer. Also,the governwent does not have to send out as many road workers. This saves money. Finally, people may try harder to keep roads clean if they see people,especially teenagers like us, cleaning them up.We will need helpers to care for our adopted highway. If yo u want to feel great and keep our roads clean,please come with your parents to the meeting next week. We will meet in Mrs. Lake’ room on Wednesday at 6:00 P.M. At th e meeting, we will talk about which roads are the dirtiest as a result of people's unkind acts. Then we' Il try to pick an area t o adopt and clean ap.I look forward to seeing you at the meeting. Remember to k eep our roads clean!1.What is the Adopt-a-Highway Program about?A. Giving names to the highways.B. Drawing pictures of h ighways.C. Picking up litter along the roads.D. Putting up signs ne ar the roads.2. What should the students do first if they want to join the pro gram?A. Pick a spot to care for.B. Call ke next week.C. Write a letter to their parents.D. Go to a meeting on Wednesday.3.What is the purpose of this speech?A. To encourage students to join the program.B. To introduce the traffic system.C. To show drivers how to drive safely.D. To tell a story about adopting a pet.4.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Adopt – a-PetB. Adopt-a-Highwayto Protect the Environment D.

Barefoot and dirty,the girl just sat and watched the people go by.She never tried to speak.Many people passed,but never did one person stop.The next day I decided to go back to the park,curious to see if the little girl would still be there.Right in the very spot as she was yesterday,she sat with the saddest look in her eyes.Today I was to make my own move and walk over to the little girl.As we all know,a park full of strange people is not a place for young children to play alone.As I began walking towards her,I could see the back of the little girl’s dress indicated a deformity(畸形).I smiled to let her know it was okay,I was there to help,to talk.I sat down beside her a nd opened with a simple “Hello”.I smiled and she shyly smiled back.We talked until darkness fell and the park was completely empty.I asked the girl why she was so sad.The little girl looked at me and with a sad face said,“Because I’m different.”I immedia tely said “That you are!” and smiled.The little girl acted even sadder.She said,“I know.” She looked at me and smiled.Slowly she stood to her feet,and said,“Really?”“Yes,dear,you’re like a little guardian angel sent to watch over all those people walking by.” She nodded her head “yes” and smiled,and with that she spread her wings and said with a twinkle in her eye,“I am.I’m your guardian angel.”I was speechless,sure I was seeing things.She said,“For once you thought of someone other than yourself,my job here is done.”Immediately I stood to my feet and said,“Wait,so why did no one stop to help an angel!?” She looked at me and smiled,“You’re the only one who could see me,and you believe it in your heart.”…and she was gone.And with that my life changed dramatically.So,when you think you’re all you have,remember,your angel is always watching over you.Mine is!1.People just passed by the girl because _______.A.they pretended not to see herB.she pretended to be poorC.they never thought of helping herD.they knew the author would help her2.Which word can’t be used to describe the author?A.Considerate.B.Patient. C.Helpful. D.Powerful.3.Why was the author speechless?A.He was shocked.B.He didn’t manage to help the girl.C.He thought he was cheated.D.He was in despair.4.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.The author smiled because he saw the girl was shy.B.The author had known that the girl was a real angel.C.The author believed that an angel was always watching him.D.The author decided to go back to the park because he was sure that the little girl would be there.5.What does “You’re all you have” mean?A.You are ugly.B.You are alone.C.You are strong.D.You are rich.【参考答案】1---5 、CDACB【2015高考复习】阅读理解“I’ve changed my mind.I wanted to have a telescope,but now I want my dad back.” Lucien Lawrence’s letter to his father for Christmas written after his father had been knifed to death outside his school gate,must have touched everyone’s heart.L ucien went on to say that without his father he couldn’t see the stars in the sky.When those whom we love depart from us,we cannot see the stars for a while.But Lucien,the stars are still there,and one day,when you are older and your tears have gone,you will see them again.And,in a strange way,I expect that you will find your father there,too,in your mind and heart.I find that my parents,who died years ago,still figure in many of my dreams and that I think of them perhaps more than I ever did when they wer e alive.I still live to please them and I’m still surprised by their reactions.I remember that when I became a professor,I was so proud,or rather so pleased with myself that I couldn’t wait to cable my parents.The reply was a long time in coming,but when it did,all my mother said was “I hope this means that now you will have more time for the children!” I haven’t forgotten.The values of my parents still live on.It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care.Would I have been as ready as Philip Lawrence have been to face the aggressors,and to lay down my life for those in my care?How many people would want me back for Christmas?It’s a serious thought,one to give me pause.I pray silently,sometimes,in the dead of night,that ancient cry of a poet “Deliver my soul from the sword,and my darling from the power of the dog.” Yet I know the death comes to us all,and sometimes comes suddenly.We must therefore plan to live forever,but live as if we will die tomorrow.We live on,I’m sure,in the lives of those we love,and therefore we ought to have a care for what they will remember and what they will treasure.If more parents knew this in their hearts to be true,there might be fewer knives on our streets today.【语篇解读】一个孩子在圣诞节对已经去世的父亲撕心裂肺的呼唤让人情不能已,潸然泪下。
