You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?

Jane Addams (1860-1935)

Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

Rachel Carson (1907-1964)

If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.

Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present)

When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator(参议员) and ,in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.

Rosa Parks (1913-2005)

On December 1,1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rasa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the

civil-rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,”said Parks.

How do you address(称呼) people in English when you want to talk to them? The following may be some simple rules the beginners should follow.

After a while they hear a great noise. It is a big bear. It is coming this way. The two young men run away quickly. One of them climbs up a tree, and hides among the leaves. He forgets all about his friend. What about the fat one? He is too fat to climb up a tree. So he throws himself on the ground, closes his eyes, and pretends to be dead. “The bear will think I’m dead,”he thinks to himself. Soon the bear comes up to the fat man, and even puts its nose to his mouth and ears. The fat man holds his breath. The bear thinks he is dead, so it goes away, because bears never touch the dead.

The man in the tree comes down. With a smile he asks his friend, “The bear puts its nose so close to your ears. What does it say to you?”The friend answers, “The bear says, “Don’t trust your friend. He runs away from you when you need his help most.”

There are so many expressions in American English that sound pleasant but are not. “Face the music”is a good example.

Imagine a friend asks you to take care of her beautiful red sports car. She gives you

the key and says, “Thanks so much for watching my car while I’m away. But please, do not drive it. It is an extremely fast car.”But you do not listen. You want to show off and pretend the car is yours. So, you drive it around the town. As a result, you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign. The damage is serious. When your friend returns, you must tell her what you have done and “face the music.”That could mean losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her sports car or both. Whatever the music is, you must face it.

The expression is more than 150 years old. In 1851, the writer James Fenimore Cooper explained “face the music”as theatrical term. In a theater, the orchestra(管弦乐队) often sits in the front of the stage facing the musicians. Many actors are very nervous, a condition called stage fright. “Face the music”came to mean accepting stage fright and not giving in to it.

Word experts also say “face the music”may have come from the military. A soldier who did something terrible could be forced out of the army. When that happened, the army drummers would play slow, sad beat. The soldier would be led away seated backward on a horse and facing the music of the drums.

There are other American expressions that mean the same thing as “face the music.”If someone says, “You made your bed. Now lie in it,”they mean you created

a bad situation and now you will experience the result.

13.What does the underlined part “the music”in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A.The unpleasant music.

B.The beautiful red sports car.

C.The music played by the orchestra.

D.The bad result of your actions.

14.Which of the following is an example of “face the music”?

A.You have held a concert successfully.

B.You will buy the sports car you like best.

C.Your friend invites you to attend a live concert.

D.You have to go home with your bad exam results.

15.What is most likely to be discussed following the last paragraph?

A.The origin of “You made your bed. Now lie in it.”

B.Some other expressions similar to “face the music.”

C.The true meaning of “You made your bed. Now lie in it.”

D.Other examples to explain the meaning of “face the music.”

How to Love Your Parents

Even if you think that your parents are mean-spirited at times, loving your parents is a normal and fulfilling part of life. You love them for the fact that they created you, raised you, and are in part, a source of who you are. Here are some ways to love your parents.

16 . A gentle “good morning”and “I love you”will warm a coldest heart. Remember that they brought you into this world. Without your parents, we might still wander at an unknown corner in an unknown world.

Respect them more and cherish these moments. You can use these moments to learn from them, preparing yourself for when you’re off on your own. It’s OK to get angry but angry actions don’t help you or your parents. Act calmly, cool off, write down your feelings, or talk to a friend. 17

Obey their requests. It will make your attitude better and earn you more respect from them. It may seem like you are going through hell when you don’t get what you want or you have to clean. However, you had better remember they keep a roof over your head when it’s cold, raining, snowing, or too hot. Understand that parents are human beings and make mistakes. 18 Since you can forgive your friends, why not forgive your parents?

Keep company with them. Do things with your parents like watching TV, or go somewhere with them. 19 Listen to their old stories and learn from them. You will find they are your teachers in this way or another.

Some people simply may not be able to love their parents. 20 Seek help if you are being abused in any way. Parents do not have a right to harm you.

A. Forgiveness is the key.

B. Parents will in turn express their love to you.

C. Tell them you love them every morning.

D. After this, share your feelings with your parents.

E. Please remember parents are as important as friends.

F. Anyway, spend as much time with them as you can.

G. There can be realistic reasons for this, family violence for example.

高二英语参考答案

一、阅读理解

A.答案:1.C; 2.A; 3.D; 4.B

解析:1.细节理解题。根据Jane Addams(1860—1935)部分的“Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank.Addams helped the poor and worked for peace.She encouraged a sense of community(社区)by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need”可知,Jane Addams因她的社会福利工作而出名。

2.细节理解题。根据Sandra Day O’Connor(1930—present)部分的“When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School,in 1952,she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman”可知,她不能在律师事务所工作的原因是女性会受到性别歧视。

3.细节理解题。根据Rosa Parks(1913—2005)部分的“It lasted for more than a year,and kicked off the civil-rights movement”可知,她的举动最终推动了民权运动。

4.推理判断题。Jane Addams是社会福利工作的带头人;Rachel Carson是环境运动的发起者;Sandra Day O’Connor是反对性别歧视的领头人;Rosa Parks是民权运动的推动者。由此可见,这四位女性都是先驱者

解析:21.curious“好奇的”;worried“担心的”;certain“肯定的”;crazy“疯狂的”。由情理可知当人们初到异国他乡,在举目无亲的情况下,面对陌生的环境心里是担忧的,不安的。22.checked“检查”;dropped“下降”;landed“着陆”;settled“定居”。根据“at the airport”可知他们是乘飞机去的,所以用land“着陆,降落”。

23.therefore“因此”;instead“取代”;anyhow“无论如何”;otherwise“否则”。从下文

可知因为有了这个和善的“大哥哥”的帮助,他们在这个新地方的生活变得很容易,所以此处表示因果关系,故选A。

24.expected“期待”;troubled“麻烦”;comforted“安慰”;accompanied“陪伴”。根据下文“going to the bank,in buying our groceries”,可以判断作者和她丈夫是在他的陪同下购物,办理一切手续等。

25.when“何时”;where“何地”;why“为什么”;whether“是否”。根据语境“in showing us __________________ to buy almost everything”判断他告诉给我们去哪里买东西,此处指买东西的地方,故答案选B。

26.Once“一次;一旦;”So“因此”;Twice“两次”;Finally“最终”。根据下文During the first get-together,“During the second get-together”可知是两次。

https://www.360docs.net/doc/5317409321.html,rmed“通知”;warned“警告”;blamed“责备”;convinced“使信服”。从下文的讲述可知这位好心的“大哥哥”独自在国外八年,通过这种对比可知因为有着丈夫的陪伴,作者深信自己是幸运的。

28.together“一起”;nearby“附近”;around“四处”;apart“分开”。根据上下文可以判断,此处侧重与那位好心人孤身一人在国外居住进行对比,所以答案选A。

29.sick“生病的”;lonely“孤独的”;cheerful“欢呼”;scared“害怕的”。根据下文“he rarely sees his family...they are in his home country”判断,他是独自一人居住在国外,所以用lonely“孤独的”,选B。

30.if“如果”;unless“除非”;as“由于”;although“尽管”。从“he rarely sees his family”和“they are in his home country”判断,前后句是因果关系,答案选C。

31.secretly“秘密地”;jokingly“开玩笑地”;proudly“自豪地”;sincerely“真诚地”;由情理可知,当他说“He said that he loves us...”的时候应该是发自内心、真诚地说,故答案选D。

32.remember“记得”;miss“错过”;“想念”;forget“忘记”;respect“尊重”。根据后句“because he has been given a ____________________ of 45 days to go back to his home country”可知他要回国,由情理可知在此他表示在此期间他会想念作者和他丈夫。答案选B。

33.delay“推迟”;right“权力”;vacation“假期”;date“日期”。根据下文“...from his vacation”可以判断他获得了一个45天的假期,选C。

34.created“创造;造成”;designed “设计”;solved “解决”; received“受到”。那天晚上,他的话对我的生活产生重大影响。

35.puzzled“迷惑的”;touched“感动的”;astonished“震惊的”;flattered“奉承的;谄媚的”。由上文“He said that he loves us”等可知,这位热心人的坦诚让作者非常感动,答案选B。

36.thanking“感谢”;forgiving“原谅”;repaying“报答”;punishing“惩罚”。在上文中作者提到这位热心人给予他们无私的帮助,由此推断作者在此是表示对他的感激,thank sb. for sth./doing sth.意为“因……而感激”,选A。

37.after all“毕竟;终究”;as well“也”;in return“回报”;in advance“预先”。上文作者发短信表示对这位好人的感激,所以此处再提到其他内容时可以用as well,意思是“也”,答案选B,其他选项不合语境。

38.agreed“同意”;objected“反对”;added“加”;replied“回复”。根据下文“You are my family here.”可知,这是“大哥哥”所回短信的内容,reply to“对……做出回复、回答”,故答案选D。

39.see“看”;pick“捡”;call“叫”;force“强迫”。从下文“We’ll watch the football match again”可知,作者是去见刚刚探亲回来的这位朋友,故答案选A。

40.book “书”;grocery “杂货”; coffee “咖啡”;sports“运动”。根据上文“the match in a coffee shop”可以推断,他们会再次去那家有着美好回忆的咖啡店去看球赛,答案选C。

四、语法填空
