For some people, brokenness has been a blessing in disguise. Though 19 it makes them weak, the long-term strength is increased, which makes them a 20 person. For some, it takes them down hard, pushing them to 21 from socie ty and sometimes self-destructive habits are formed.Mental, emotional, financial, spiritual and physical brokenness a ffects everyone at some point on our journey of life.

Bu t though it was not far past the middle of September, the heavy clouds and strong north-easterly wind combined to make the day extremely cold; and th e journey seemed a very long one, so that it was nearly one o’clock before we reached the place of our destination. Yet when w e entered the gateway, my heart failed me, and I wished it were a mile or two farther off. For the first time in my life I must stand alone: there was no retreating now. I must enter that house, an d introduce myself among its strange people. But how was it to be done? True, I was near nineteen; but, thanks to the protectin g care of my mother and sister, I well knew that many a girl of fif teen, or under, was gifted with a more womanly address, and gr eater ease and self-possession, than I was. Yet, anyway. I would do very well, after all; and the children, of course, I should soon be at ease with th em."Be calm, be calm, whatever happens," I said within myself; and truly I was so fully occupied in steadying my nerves and keepin g down the rebellious beat of my heart that when I was admitte d into the hall and into the presence of Mrs. Bloomfield, I almost forgot to answer her polite greeting; and it afterwards struck m e that the little I did say was spoken in the tone of one half-dead or half-asleep.With due politeness, however, she showed me my bedroom, an d left me there to take a little refreshment for a little while and le d me into the dining-room. Some beefsteaks and potatoes were set before me; andwhile I dined upon these, she sat opposite, watching me (as I th ought) and trying to keep something like a conversation— consi sting chiefly of commonplace remarks. In fact, my attention was almost wholly absorbed in my dinner: not from appetite, but fro m the toughness of the beefsteaks, and the numbness of my ha nds.“I have had so little time to attend to their education myself, but I think they are clever children, and very willing to learn, especi ally the little boy; he is, I think, the flower of the flock— a genero us, noble-spirited boy, one to be led, but not driven, and remarkable for al ways speaking the truth.”“His sister Mary Ann will require watc hing,” continued she, “but she is a very good girl on the whole, t hough I wish her to be kept out of the nursery as much as pos sible, as she is now almost six years old, and might acquire bad habits from the nurses. I have ordered her bed to be placed in your room, and if you will be so kind as to look after her washin g and dressing, and take charge of her clothes, she needs to ha ve nothing further to do with the nursery maid.”I replied I was quite willing to do so; and at that moment the chil dren entered the room. Tom Bloomfield was a well-grown boy of seven. Mary was a tall girl, for her age of six, som ewhat dark like her mother. The second sister was Fanny, a very pretty little girl, looking little younger than Mary. The remainin g one was Harriet, a little broad, fat, merry, playful thing of scar cely two, whom I had more desire for than all the rest — but with her I had nothing to do.67. Which of the following statements best describes how the w riter felt when she entered Mrs. Bloomfield's home?A. She was nervous, dissatisfied with her manners but still confi dent.B. She was cold, hungry but eager to see all the children in the family.C. She was frightened, nervous and regretful about her decisio n.D. She was calm, confident and very happy with all the family.68. What job would the writer take in Mrs Bloomfield's home?A. A nursery maid.B. A house cleaner.C. A home cook.D. A family teacher.69. Which of the following was TRUE according to the passage ?A. The writer had some difficulty with her lunch because of the t ough food and the cold.B. The delicious food took the writer's attention away from Mrs. Bloomfield’s words.C. All the children were well educated before the writer came to the family.D. All the children in the family were looked after by Mrs Bloomf ield herself.70. From the passage, we can infer that ______.A. Mrs Bloomfield would treat the writer kindly and help her a lotB. the youngest girl Harriet would be the writer’s favorite studen tC. the writer would take on more responsibilities than she shoul dD. Tom Bloomfield would be the cleverest of all the children 【参考答案】2.67-70 ADAC【福建省漳州市2014高考英语第三次联考试题】BBecause of the financial crisis in the US and , college students are beginning to struggle to find ways to pay their tuition fees a nd accommodations.Recently, two major US student loan lenders—Citibank and JPMorgan Chase—announced they were leaving the student loan industry altogeth er. Because banks currently have a lack of credit(存款额), they are reluctant to offer students lowinterest loans(贷款) that need a severalyear wait for any return of interest.In the US, many undergraduates top up their financial needs wit h a private loan, although the majority can get governmentfund ed loans. In the 20052006 academic year, $17 billion in private student loans was used to finance higher education. The shortf all in private funding has yet to be covered and will hit many st udents hard.Across the Atlantic, students have been less troubled by the cri sis. Most undergraduates in the UK cover their university expen ses with governmentfunded loans and grants(助学金). Their biggest concern is a sudden steep increase in studen t rent.Most young professionals now rent houses, since 80 percent of UK mortgage schemes(住房抵押贷款计划) have disappeared—a direct result of the credit crisis. This has boosted the house re nt market.In large cities, students are paying almost 6.5 percent more in r ent than the previous year. Figures from the UK organization Accommodation for Student show students in big cities such as p aying an average weekly rent of $103.Yet, despite students' suffering, the number of this year’s univer sity applications is expected to grow. During economic slumps, people regard further education as a way to survive tough job m arkets.60. According to the passage, banks are unwilling to offer stude nts loans because ________.A. the students are poor and sometimes they can’t pay off the debtB. banks prefer lending the money to the young professionalsC. banks don’t have enough money left at the present timeD. they think college students are not studying hard61. The underlined phrase “top up” in Paragraph 3 probably me ans ________.A. put upB. make upC. fill upD. pick up62. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage ?A. college students have to pay more if they want to rent hou ses.B. More UK students want to further their study in college.C. It is not so easy for US students to loan money now.D. College students' tuition fees have risen greatly.63. It can be inferred that ________.A. there are no private student loan lenders in theB. loans for US college students will be increased next yearC. private funding falls a little because of higherinterest loans in theD. private loans play a very important role in financing US stu dents’ education64. The passage mainly tells us ________.A. college students in the US and are faced with their financi al crisisB. it is the duty of the governments to solve college students' f inancial crisisC. private student loan is a good way for college students to o vercome the difficultiesD. further education is a good way for college students to surv ive tough job markets【参考答案】60—64、CCDDA较难题目特训：人物故事类Rae Armantrout, who has been a poetry professor at the Univer sity of California San Diego(UCSD)for two decades, has won th e 2010 Pulitzer Prize in the poetry category forher most recent book, “Versed”."I’m delighted and amazed at how much media recognition that the Pulitzer brings, as compared to even the National Book Crit ics Award, which I was also surprised and delighted to win,” said Armantrout."For a long time, my writing has been just below the media rada r, and to have this kind of attention, suddenly, with my 10th boo k, is really surprising.”Armantrout, a native Californian, received her bachelor’s degre e at UC Berkeley, where she studied with noted poet Denise Le vertov, and her master’s in creative writing from .

2015年高考全国卷2英语试题第Ⅰ卷第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分）略第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautiful when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my first, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the sit is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.21. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A.He got an older model than he had expected.B.He couldn’t return it when it was broken.C.He could have bought it at a lower price.D.He failed to find any movie shows on it.【参考答案】C【考查内容】细节理解题【解析思路】根据第一段第四行“when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid.”当我看到报纸上75美元比我买的价格低的时候，我感觉我上当了。

AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I leta salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model, I realized this a day late,when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid,The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night, Fortunately, I didn’t got any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电) noise. For some reason,when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise ,I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether .My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now,but I keep expecting more trouble.21.Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A.He got an older model than he had expected.B.He couldn’t return it when it was broken.C.He could have bought it at a lower price.D.He failed to find any movie shows on it.22.Which of the following can best replace the phrase”signed off”in Paragraph 1?A.ended all their programsB.provided fewer channelsC.changed to commercialsD.showed all-night movies23.How did the author finally get his TV set working again?A.By shaking and hitting it. B .By turning it on and off. C.By switching channels.D.By having it repaired.24. How does the anthor sound when telling the story ?A. CuriousB. AnxiousC. CautiousD. HumorousYour house may have an effect on your figure . Experts say the way you design your home could play arole in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off . You can make your environment work for you instead of against you . Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights . Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating , for people are often less self-conscious（难为情）when they’re in poorly lit places-and so more likely to eat lots of food . If your home doesn’t have enough window light , get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors . Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites . In one study , people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room . Warm colors like yellow make tood appear more appetizing , while cold colors make us feel less hungry . So when it’s time to repaint , go blue.Don’t forget the clock-or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories（卡路里）per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes, And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down , turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishs, Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one ,total intake（摄入）jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.25.The text is especially helpful for those who care about_______.A. their home comfortsB. their body shapeC. house buyingD. healthy diets26.A home environment in blue can help people_________.A.digest food betterB.reduce food intakeC.burn more caloriesD.regain their appetites27.What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A.Eat quickly.B.Play fast music.e smaller spoons.D.Turn down the lights.28.What can be a suitable title for the test?A.Is Your Hourse Making You Fat?B.Ways of Serving DinnerC.Effects of Self-ConsciousnessD.Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?More students than ever cefore are taking a gap-year (间隔年)before going to university.It used to be called the “year off” between school and university.The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by University and College Admissions Serbice(UCAS).That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be stisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,” he said.But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students(NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student had ship – young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to￡15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and More students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree.NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods,”he said.29.

Liz PayneBThe freezing Northeast hasn‟t been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say “sunshine”. I left for the land of warmth and vitam in C(维生素C), thinking of beaches and orange trees. When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness. Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best part-particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold-weather root vegetables-was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers‟ market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7 am to 1 p.m, rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries, the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.Disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的) promise, I‟ve refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they‟re unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in, with uncerta inty, on one particular table at the Brown‟s Grove Farm‟s stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal- and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn‟t be experiencing again for months.Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown‟s Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where-luckily for me-I was planning to have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I knew I‟d be ordering every tomato on it.24. What did the author think of her winter life in New York?A. Exciting.B. Boring.C. Relaxing.D. Annoying.25. What made the author‟s getting up early worthwhile?A. Having a swim.B. Breathing in fresh air.C. Walking in the morning sun.D. Visiting a local farmer‟s market.26. What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter?A. They are soft.B. They look nice.C. They taste great.D. They are juicy.27. What was the author going to do that evening?A. Eat in a restaurant.B. Check into a hotel.C. Go to a farm.D. Buy fresh vegetables.CSalvador Dali (1904-1989) was one of the most popular of modern artists. The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory. There is also L’Enigme sans Fin from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist‟s showman qualities.The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of birth. The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities (无限). “From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras,” explains the Pompidou Centre.The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration (合作)with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida.28. Which of the following best describes Dali according to Paragraph 1?A. Optimistic.B. ProductiveC. Generous.D. Traditional.29. What is Dali‟s The Persistence of Memory considered to be?A. One of his masterworks.B. A successful screen adaptation.C. An artistic creation for the stage.D. One of the beat TV programmes.30. How are the exhibits arranged at the World of Dali?A. By popularity.B. By importance.C. By size and shape.D. By time and subject.31. What does the word “contributions” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Donations.B. Projects.C. Artworks.D. Documents.DConflict is on the menu tonight at the caféLa Chope. This evening, as on every Thursday night, psycholog ist Maud Lehanne is leading two of France‟s favorite pastimes, coffee drinking and the “talking cure”. Here they are learning to get in touch with their true feelings. It isn‟t always easy. The customers-some thirty Parisians who pay just under $2 (plus drinks) per session-are quick to intellectualize (高谈阔论)，slow to open up and connect. “You are forbidden to say …one feels,‟ or …people think‟,”Lehanne told them. “Say …I think,‟ …Think me‟.”A cafe society where no intellectualizing is allowed? It couldn‟t s eem more un-French. But Lehanne‟s psychology cafe is about more than knowing oneself: It‟s trying to help the city‟s troubled neighborhood cafes. Over the years, Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle-longer working hours, a fast-food boom and a younger generation‟s desire to spend more time at home. Dozens of new theme cafes appear to change the situation. Cafes focused around psychology, history, and engineering are catching on, filling tables well into the evening.The city‟s “psychology cafes”, which offer great comfort, are among the most popular places. Middle-aged homemakers, retirees, and the unemployed come to such cafes to talk about love, anger, and dreams with a psychologist. And they come to Lehanne‟s group just to learn to say what they feel. “There‟s a strong need in Paris for communication,” says Maurice Frisch, a cafe La Chope regular who works as a religious instructor in a nearby church. “People have few real friends.And they need to open up.” Lehanne says she‟d like to see psychology cafes all over France. “If people had normal lives, these cafes wouldn‟t exist,” she says. “If life weren‟t a battle, people wouldn‟t need a special place just to speak.” But then, it wouldn‟t be France.32.What are people encouraged to do at the cafe La Chope?A. Learn a new subjectB. Keep in touch with friends.C. Show off their knowledge.D. Express their true feelings.33. How are cafes affected by French lifestyle changes?A. They have bigger night crowds.B. They stay open for longer hours.C. They are less frequently visited.D. They start to serve fast food.34. What are theme cafes expected to do?A. Save the cafe business.B. Supply better drinks.C. Create more jobs.D. Serve the neighborhood.35. Why are psychology cafes becoming popular in Paris?A. They bring people true friendship.B. They give people spiritual support.C. They help people realize their dreams.D. They offer a platform for business links.完形填空（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）My kids and I were heading into the supermarket over the weekend.
