For this and other reasons I was somewhat lonely. I had the lonely child's habit of making up stories and holding conversations with imaginary persons, and I think from the very start my literary ambitions （文学志向） were mixed up with the feeling of being isolated （孤独） and undervalued. I knew that I had a natural ability with words and a power of facing unpleasant facts, and I felt that this created a sort of private world in which I could get my own back for my failure in everyday life.However, the quantity of serious writing which I produced all through my childhood would not add up to half a dozen pages. I wrote my first poem at the age of four or five, my mother taking it down to dictation. I cannot remember anything about it except that TAL#NBSP it was about a tiger and the tiger had "chair-like teeth"—a good enough expression. At eleven, when the war of 1914-18 broke out, I wrote a poem which was printed in the local （地方的） newspaper, as was another, two years later, on the death of Kitchener. From time to time, when I was a bit older, I wrote bad and usually unfinished "nature poems".I also, about twice, attempted a short story which was a failure. That was the total of the would-be serious work that I actually set down on paper during all those years.(1) The underlined word "it" in paragraph 2 refers to.A. the quantity of serious writingB. the writer's first poemC. the writer's childhoodD. the tiger in the poem(2) From the text, we learn that as a little boy the writer.A. had no playmatesB. showed his gift for writingC. put out lots of poems and storiesD. got his first poem published in 1916(3) What can be inferred about the writer?A. He was least favoured in his family.B. He had much difficulty in talking with others.C. He had an unhappy childhood for lack of care.D. His loneliness resulted in his interest in writing.18、【来源】 2006年高考真题四川卷（B篇）第59~62题8分(每题2分)Welcome to Ontario Parks, a new body set up to manage Ontario's most treasured special places, the parks in our area.We are entering a very exciting year for Ontario Parks.

He has alwayswanted to travel. "I guess I am a really restless spirit. I like traveling, so when the chance came, I jumped at it, " he says.The chance came in the form of a newspaper advertisement for work on cruise ships （游船）. At the time Estrella was the housekeeping manager at a Melbourne hotel. He applied and, after two interviews, a medical check and police clearance, the job was his.Estrella is responsible （负责的） for the cleanliness of the ship, making sure that 160 crew work properly. "I enjoy it because there is no other work—you wake up each day in a different place and a different culture. It's exciting when you go to the next country and you don't understand the language, " he says.Estrella likes being busy and getting to know people from all over the world. The 1, 000 crew come from 94 countries, and Estrella has learnt Spanish and a little Croatian.But there is a TAL#NBSP downside."You cannot get really drunk…because you have safety responsibilities to yourself and others, " he says. "You don't really think about home. You start to think about home only when you get closer to your vacation and wonder what you'll be doing."Life on the ship is anything but cruising. Estrella and his fellows work at least 10 hours a day, seven days a week. He warns the job is not for everybody. "You have to love being busy and be prepared to work every day — and to give up drinking too much alcohol."

Wash your hands. Always say "please" and "thank you". We are full of advice for our children, but when it comes to money, we often have little to say. As a result, our children may grow up with clean hands and good manners, but without any idea how to-manage their money.Here are some basics that will help guide them their entire lives:Show them the future. If your 13-year-old girl were to save＄1, 000, invest （投资） it at 8% and add ＄100 every month, by the time she's 65, she would have ＄980, 983!Be careful of credit （信用）. Credit cards can help you buy necessary things and build a credit history, but they must be used responsibly, which means paying off your debt in time. Explain to your children that when you buy something using a credit card, you can easily end up paying two or three times what you would have paid if you used cash.Teach patience. Suppose your child wants a new bicycle that costs $150. Rather than paying the cash, give him some regular pocket money and explain that by putting aside, say ＄15 each week, he will be able to buy it for himself in only ten weeks.Provide TAL#NBSP incentive. Tell your children the importance of saving. "For every dollar he or she agrees to save and invest rather than spend, you agree to add another dollar to the pot, " says Cathy Pareto, expert in money planning.Explain your values. Values and money are deeply intertwined, says Eilleen Gallo, co-author of The Financially Intelligent Parent. When your child demands that you buy something, explain why you really don't want to buy it. You might say, "I'd rather save that money for your education, " advises Gallo. Every time you spend or don't spend money, you have a chance to share your values.(1) The writer gives some basics to help in a proper way.A. parents teach their children how to deal with moneyB. children follow their parents' instructionsC. children manage their moneyD. parents save their money(2) The writer thinks that, if a child wants to buy something, his parentsshould.A. give him some regular pocket moneyB. encourage him to put money away for itC. explain to him the importance of investmentD. tell him to save some money by using a credit card(3) The underlined word "incentive" in paragraph 6 means.A. honorB. praiseC. excitementD. encouragement(4) What leads the writer to write this article?A. Parents want to know how to educate their children.B. He wants to share his good ideas about money matters.C. He thinks money management the most important for children.D. Parents care little about their children's management of money.21、【来源】 2006年高考真题四川卷（E篇）第71~75题10分(每题2分)Instead of hitting the beach, fourteen high school students traded swimming suits for lab coats last summer and turned their attention to scientific experiments.The High School Research Program offers high school students guidance with researchers in Texas A&M's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Jennifer Funkhouser, academic adviser for the Department of Rangeland Ecology and Management, directs this four - week summer program designed to increase understanding of research and its career potential （潜能）.Several considerations go into selecting students, including grades, school involvement and interest in science and agriculture. And many students come from poorer school districts, Funkhouser says. "This is their chance to learn techniques and do experiments they never would have a chance to do in high school.Warner Ervin of Houston is interested in animal science and learned how to tell male from female mosquitoes （蚊子）. His adviser, Craig Coates, studies the genes of mosquitoes that allow them to fight against malaria and yellow fever. Coates thought this experience would be fun and helpful to the high school students.The agricultural research at A&M differs from stereotypes. It's "molecular （分子）science TAL#NBSP on the cutting edge, " Funkhouser says. The program broadened students' knowledge. Victor Garcia of Rio Grande City hopes to become a biology teacher and says he learned a lot about chemistry from the program.At the end of the program, the students presented papers on their research. They're also paid &600 for their work - another way this program differs from others, which often charge a fee.Fourteen students got paid to learn that science is fun, that agriculture is a lot more than milking and plowing and that research can open many doors.(1) The research program is chiefly designed for.A. high school advisers from HoustonB. college students majoring in agricultureC. high school students from different placesD. researchers at the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences(2) It can be inferred from the text that the students in poorer areas.A. had little chance to go to collegeB. could often take part in the programC. found the program useful to their futureD. showed much interest in their high school experiments(3) When the program was over, the students.A. entered that collegeB. wrote research reportsC. paid for their researchD. found a way to make money(4) The underlined expression "on the cutting edge" in paragraph 5 means "on themost position".A. importantB. favourableC. astonishingD. advanced(5) What would be the best title for the text?A.

As we all know, good learning habits can make your study go to succeed. As a student, we should pay more attentions to our habits which we develop in our study. I‟m sure “repeat” is a best habit. Do you develop the habit? If we want to improve our study, we should repeat what the teachers taught us again and again, and then we can understand or remember the knowledge which the teachers demand us to master. How to develop the habit? the first step, set a timetable, and stick to carry out the plan, don‟t stop.When I do my homework, I often make mistakes with carelessness, how to overcome the shortage?

2006全国高考英语I真题(附答案)
阅读理解Most people think of racing when they see greyhounds（灰狗）and believe they need lots of ex- ercise. They can actually be quite lazy! Greyhounds are good at fast races but not long-distance run- ning. They do need regular exercise but they like to run for a short burst and then get back on the bed or a comfortable seat. Another misunderstanding is that greyhounds must be aggressive（好斗的）because they are big in size. In fact greyhounds love people and are gentle with children.Greyhounds can live for 12 – 14 years but usually only race for two or three years, and after that they make great pets. They don’t need a lot of space, don’ t make a lot of noise, and don’ t eat a lot for their size.Normally , greyhounds can be as tall as 90 cm. There is , however, a small-sized greyhound, which stands only 33 cm. Greyhounds come in a variety of colors. Grey and yellowish-brown are the most common. Others include black, white, blue, red and brown or a mix of these.Greyhounds have smooth body coats, low bod y fat and are very healthy. Because they’ re slim, （苗条的）they don’t have the leg problems like other dogs the same height . But they do feel the cold, especially since they would much rather be at home in bed than walking around outside.56．The text is written mainly .A．to tell people how to raise greyhoundsB．to let people know more about greyhoundsC．to explain why greyhounds are aggressiveD．to describe greyhounds of different colors57．It can be inferred that greyhounds .A．love big doghousesB．like staying in bed all dayC．make the best guard dogsD．need some exercise outdoors58．Why does the author say that greyhounds make great pets?A．They are big in size.B．They live a very long life.C．They can run races for some time.D．They are quiet and easy to look after.59．If you keep a pet greyhound, it is important _____________.A．to keep it slimB．to keep it warmC．to take special care of its legsD．to take it to animal doctors regularlyBMany years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents’ home in Missouri for Christmas.I stopped at a gas station(加油站) about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christ-mas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day, and the battery(电池) was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership－a shop selling cars－was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?” I asked and exp lained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said.“Thank you”－two powerful words. They’re easy to say and mean so much.60．The author planned to stop at Oklahoma City _______.A．to visit a friendB．to see his parentsC．to pay or the cash registerD．to have more gas for his car61．The words “took off ” underlined in Paragraph 2 mean “________”.A．turned offB．moved offC．put upD．set up62．What happened when the author found smoke coming out of his car?A．He had it pulled back to the gas station.B．The couple sent him a business card.C．The couple offered to help him.D．He called his friend for help.63．The battery of the author’s car was dead because _______.A．something went wrong with the lightsB．the meeting lasted a whole dayC．he forgot to turn off the lightsD．he drove too long a distance64．By telling his own experiences, the author tries to show _______.A．how to write a thank-you letterB．how to deal with car problemsC．the kind-heartedness of older peopleD．the importance of expressing thanksCA study of English learning problems was carried out among a total of 106 foreign students. It shows that most students considered understanding spoken English to be their biggest problem on ar-rival. This was followed by speaking. Writing increased as a problem as students discovered difficult- ties in writing papers that they were now expected to hand in. Reading remained as a significant（显著的）problem.The information gained helped us in determining where special attention should be paid in our course. Although many students have chosen to join the course with a reasonable motivation（动机）, we considered it important to note what seemed to encourage interest. Nearly all the students have experienced some kind of grammar-based English teaching in their own country. To use the same method would be self-defeating because it might reduce motivation, especially if it has failed in the past. Therefore a different method may help because it is different.Variety of activity was also seen as a way of maintaining（保持）or increasing motivation. Sev- eral years ago we had one timetable that operated throughout, but we soon found that both the students and the teachers lost interest by about halfway through the ten weeks. This led us to a major re-think, so finally we brought it into line with the expressed language needs of the students.65．What is the text mainly about?A．Foreign students have more problems.B．There are many ways to improve English.C．Teaching should meet students’ needs.D．English learning problems should be studied again.66．Writing became a bigger problem when foreign students ___________.A．had to write their papersB．became better at speakingC．became less interested in readingD．had fewer problems with listening67．We may infer from the last two paragraphs that ___________.A．different teaching methods should be usedB．grammar-based teaching seems to be encouragingC．English courses are necessary for foreign studentsD．teaching content should be changed halfway68．The word “it” underlined in the last paragraph refers to “___________”.A．re-thinkB．activityC．motivationD．timetableDSince my retirement(退休) from teaching music in 2001, I have spent a good deal of time painting as an artist. I actually began drawing again in the summer of 1995 when my father died, so perhaps I was trying to recover from the loss of my father, or maybe it was just that it brought back memories of him. In any case, I drew animals and landscapes(风景画) much influ-enced(影响) by Krenkel and St. John for five years.For some strange reason, I had been waiting until my retirement to start doing watercolors again, but as soon as I walked out of the school door for the last time I picked up my brushes and rediscovered Andrew Wyeth, who quickly became my favorite artist. I had looked through all the art books I had on my shelves and found his watercolors to be the closest to how I thought good watercol-ors should look. So I painted landscapes around Minnesota for three years and tried out many other types of painting.
