When I decided to quit my job as a wedding photographer, I was in my late twenties, fresh from my divorce from Bob who had left me empty and confused. I decided to leave the US and travel. I had no savings, plus more than $5,000 in debt. What I did have were two sponsored tasks as a travel photographer- and with that along, I thought, it would be easy.My first experience was a road trip from Toronto to Las Vegas, paid for by a car delivery service. Other trips followed and then I started a travel blog (博客). It was intended to be my calling card for assignment travel photography. Yet even with my blog and past experience, email after email I sent to publications, trying to get work, went unanswered. When they did get in touch, editors told me that I had no chance of making a career with travel photography. While I struggled to get on the path that I wanted, and as I expanded my blog to help get me there, I found myself wearing the hat of a full-time blogger.Luckily, I got in at the right time. It was 2010，and the travel industry was just starting to turn its attention to bloggers. As I never could have predicted, my blogging-not my photography-did take me around the world successfully. At first，I thought it was for personal reasons, but I realized later that it was for free marketing for my blogging.Within two years, I was being asked to speak at travel blogging conferences, which helped me to raise a network of friends around the world. Even more meaningful, however, was when I saw that my travels were also helping other people. My blog and social media followers saw that I chased my dreams and told me over and over again how they needed that kind of example, which was absent in their lives elsewhere.51 After the author quit her job, she decided to ______.A. divorce her husbandB. be a wedding photographerC. pay off all her debtD. go travelling abroad2. What can we learn about the author from the 2nd paragraph?A. She paid money to a car delivery agency for a road trip.B. She realised his dream of becoming a travel photographer.C. She got a job as an editor in a publishing house.D. She finally became a professional blogger unintentionally.3. The author believed her success mainly resulted from ______.A. her personal reasonsB. her photographing skillsC. free marketing for bloggingD. booming of travel industry4. What did the author think of her two years' work?A. Inspiring.B. Appealing.C. Interesting.D. Challenging.【参考答案】1—4、DDCA阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。

2016高考满分英语作文1. I woke up to the sound of birds chirping outside my window, a gentle reminder that a new day had begun. The sun was already shining brightly, promising warmth and endless possibilities. I couldn't help but feel grateful for another chance to make the most of my time on thisbeautiful planet.2. As I sat down to have breakfast, I couldn't help but marvel at the simple pleasure of a hot cup of coffee and a freshly baked croissant. The aroma of the coffee filled the room, awakening my senses and putting a smile on my face. Sometimes, it's the little things in life that bring us the most joy.3. Walking down the street, I couldn't help but notice the hustle and bustle of the city around me. People rushing to work, cars honking impatiently, and the occasionalstreet performer adding a touch of music to the chaos. It was a reminder that life is constantly moving, and we mustlearn to keep up with its pace.4. Meeting up with friends later in the day, I was reminded of the importance of human connection. Laughter, shared stories, and the comfort of knowing that you are not alone in this world. It's moments like these that make life worth living, that remind us of the beauty of friendship and companionship.5. As the day came to a close, I found myselfreflecting on the events that had transpired. The ups and downs, the surprises and disappointments, all part of the rich tapestry of life. And as I drifted off to sleep, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the experiences that had shaped me, for the people who had touched my heart, and for the endless possibilities that tomorrow would bring. Life truly is a beautiful journey.。

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Historians usually just study great things that happened in the past time, but Drew Faust has made history! On February 11, 2007, Faust was named president of Harvard University. She is the first woman to hold the position in the school’s 371-year history.“I am a hist orian,” she said. “I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about the past, and about how it shapes the future. No university in the country, perhaps the world, has as remarkable a past as Harvard’s.”“And our commo n ente rprise is to make Harvard’s future even more remarkable than its past. That will mean recognizing and building on what we already do well. It will also mean recognizing what we don’t do as well as we should, and not being satisfied until we find ways to do better.”It is her great desire for improvement and willingness to try out new ideas that have given Drew success in a world controlled by men. “This is a man’s world, my girl, and the sooner you learn that, the better off you’ll be.” Drew Faust reca lls her mother telling her this when she was young, but she didn’t buy it.Faust grew up in a well-off family in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley in the 1950s.

Many of the university’s schools said that they believe Harvard will have a brighter future under the leadership of Drew Faust.1. Why does the writer say Drew Faust has made history?A. Because she is a historian.B. Because she was president of Harvard University.C. Because she was the first woman to be president of Harvard University.D. Because Harvard has a remarkable past2. What do we know about historians?A. They usually study great things that happened in the past.B. They are usually presidents of universities.C. They are usually born in well-off families.D.

To expect her to be a historian.5. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Faust was born in the north of the US.B. She wrote a letter to President Eisenhower when she became president of Harvard.C. Faust’s d esire for improvement and willingness to try out new ideas has given her success.D.

Our body clock，or natural body rhythm，influences our energy and alertness．Paying attention to it can help us choose the suitable time of day when we best perform specific tasks．The reality，however，is that most of us organize their time around work demands，school deadlines，commuting or social events．Doing whatever your body feels like doing is a luxury in today's fast-paced modem society．But that doesn't mean it isn't worth trying．Obeying our body clock has significant health benefits．Disrupting our natural body rhythm，on the other hand，has been linked to problems such as depression，obesity，or headache，says Steve Key，a biology professor．When the body clock can synchronize（使……同步）the rhythms of its natural processes，it “gives us an advantage in daily life”，says Key．According to him，when it comes to cognitive（认知的）work，most adults perform best in the late morning．As our body temperature starts to rise just before awakening in the morning and continues to increase until midday，our memory，alertness and concentration gradually improve．However，he adds，our ability to concentrate typically starts to decrease soon thereafter．Most of us are more easily distracted（分心）between noon and 4 pm．Alertness also tends to fall after eating a meal and sleepiness tends to peak around 2 pm，making that a good time for a nap．Surprisingly, tiredness may increase our creative powers．For most adults，problems that require open ended thinking are often best dealt with in the evening when they are tired，according to a study in the journal Thinking & Reasoning．When choosing a time of day to exercise，paying attention to your body clock can improve results．Physical performance is usually best from about 3 to 6 pm，says Michael Smolensky，a professor of biomedical engineering．Of course, not everyone's body clock is the same，making it even harder to synchronize natural rhythms with daily plans．1．If we know our natural body rhythm well, we can ．A．find out the suitable time to do specific tasksB．organize our time around work demandsC．do whatever our body feels like doingD．be sure to be healthy2．Which of the following is NOT true?A．Our alertness is influenced by our natural body rhythmB．Doing whatever your body feels like is very difficult in our modem society．C．Obeying our body clock is good for our health．D．Disrupting our natural body rhythm can lead to obesity．3．According to Steve Key，which of the following is NOT true?A．When our body clock synchronizes the rhythms of its natural processes，we can do better．B．When it comes to cognitive（认知的）work，most people perform best in the late morning．C．As body temperature rises before awakening in the morning，our concentration gradually improves．D．We concentrate better in the late morning than between noon and 4 pm．4．Inspiration（灵感）to solve a difficult problem will most probably come to us ．A．when we get up in the morningB．when we are tired in the eveningC．when we are full of energy in the late morningD．when we are asleep at night5．Which of the following can be the suitable title for the passage?A．What is natural body rhythm?B．Natural body rhythm is good for us．C．Something about natural body rhythm．D．The latest research about natural body rhythm．【参考答案】1---5 ADBBC阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways — education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the aging of America has made us a very different society —one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages.A person’s age no longer tells you anything about his/ her social position, marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop work ing isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.Many people say, “I am much younger than my mother or my father was at my age.” No one says “Act your age” any more. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.1. It can be learned from the text that the aging of the population in America ________.A. has made people feel youngerB. has changed people’s social positionC. has changed people’s understanding of ageD. has slowed down the country’s social development2. The und erlined word “one” refers to ________.A. a societyB. AmericaC. a placeD. population3. “Act your age” means people should ________.A. be active when they are oldB. do the right thing at the right ageC. show respect to their parents young or oldD. take more physical exercises suitable to their age4. If a’ 25-year-old man becomes general manager of a big firm, the writer of the text would most probably consider it _________.A. normalB. wonderfulC. unbelievableD. unreasonable【参考答案及解析】1. C 主旨题。
