（2015?河南省开封市高三第二次模拟考）When I was a high school student, mathematics looked like a big hurdle（障碍）for me and several of my classmates. When we reached the ninth class, we got Mr. Iyer, a strict maths teacher who was also our class teacher. He always stuck to his discipline. We had to arrive on time, pay undivided attention to his lectures, and dared not neglect any of h is homework.

Even so, as our class teacher, we got to know him better. Noticing some of us fidgeting one day as the mid –term exams approached, he stopped solving a mathematical problem to ask us why. ―There’s too much to do,‖ we sighed. ―We’re afraid we’ll never manage to finish our revision before the exams. ‖

―Nothing is impossible,‖ Mr. Iyer told us. ―This classroom is on the second floor. Do you have a problem reaching here ?‖

We reacted with blank stares.

―No, you don’ t !‖he said, answering his own question. ―You have a staircase to help you climb up to this level. No one expects you to make it in two giant leaps. You simply take one step at a time. Any task can be solved if you focus on the immediate action to be taken. The rest will take care of itself, if you keep at it. One step at a time. That’ s the secret. ‖

Then he wrote down an old motto on the blackboard —the longest journey starts with a single step. Having heard his staircase analogy（比拟）, we understood why he asked us the question and we saw him in a new light.

Most of my classmates scored distinctions in maths. And I went on to become an English teacher. To this day, whenever I pass on Mr. Iyer’s invaluable advice to my own students , they brighten up at the prospect of a lighter academic burden.

21.What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A. Maths was difficult for most of the author’s classmates.

B. The students thought Mr.Iyer was not a good teacher.

D. The students showed great fear to Mr.Iyer.

22.The underlined word ― fidgeting‖ in Paragraph 2 probably means ―______‖.

A. excited

B. nervous

C. hardworking

D. calm

23.Why did the author and his classmates react with blank stares ?

A. Because they were too tired to understand what Mr. Iyer said.

B. Because they felt surprised at such an unbelievable problem.

C. Because they had no interest in any subjects that were no good for their exams.

D. Because they first thought reaching the second floor had no connection with the worry.

24.The staircase analogy implies that______.

A. goals can be reached step by step

B. one can reach his/ her goals in a giant leap

Ever tried to make yourself a sl eeping bag out of a live geese? It’s hard--the geese won’t sit still, and they really don’t like it when you try to fill them into a little bag. If you want life to be a little warmer, lighter and more comfortable, the Marmot is a far better choice than live geese, since it’s filled with pure goose down (绒毛) and has a DWR-treated (防水处理的) coating that’s as light, lasting, and packable as they come.

The Marmot features lasting protection and comfort for sleeping in mild to extreme weather conditions. Frankly, any other cold-weather bags don’t come lighter than the Marmot. If 2.5 pounds seems like a lot to you, just remember that the cookies you ate for lunch yesterday probably weighed more than that, and wouldn’t keep you warm nearly as efficiently. The secret, aside from goose down, is its vertical flow baffle(垂直挡板) design, which keeps down in place and minimizes the efficiency of the bag, keeping you warmer. To prevent the Marmot losing all its heat-keeping power if it becomes wet, the down’s been treated wit h down defender, which helps it function well even in slightly wet circumstances.

Whether you’re about to take on a trip to the desert or Pacific Northwest, count on Marmot to give you the three-season performance and comfort you design. Stay cozy on your next camping or hiking trip. Choose from our selection of sleeping bags that are perfect for your outdoor life.

Exhausted，covered in mud and desperately hungry，a team of Swedish athletes sat down for a meal as they prepared to take on a dangerous 20-mile trek through the Ecuadorian rainforest.

As they opened their canned meat，a tired Mikael Lindnord noticed a miserable stray dog staring at him out of the corner of his eye.

Feeling sorry for him，he fed the dog a meatball and thought nothing of it，but as the team stood up to continue their race the animal started to follow them—and he didn’t stop.

As the group of four navigated the final two stages of the 430-mile Adventure Racing World Championship，the dog befriended them and was eventually given the name Arthur.

Every tiring task the team face，Arthur would do the same. He swam alongside them while they kayaked down rivers，dragged himself up hills during hikes and pulled through knee—deep mud during treks.

Even when the team tried to get rid of their new member out of concerns for his safety—he refused to leave. This meant when he was tired they stopped for a break and when he got stuck in the mud they pulled him out.

After six days the team finished the race，and the dog had suffered. They therefore decided to take him to a vet(兽医)while still in South America to have him checked out.

During that time Lindord thought to himself that after their experience，they could not leave Arthur，so he decided to adopt him and take him back to Sweden. He applied to the Swedish Board of Agriculture and was made to wait to see if his application was successful. After a tense few days，the team arrived at the airport with Arthur and boarded the plane with him back home. Lindord said：“I came to Ecuador to win the World Championship. Instead，I got a new friend. ”

（2015年广州一模英语试卷D）At the start of the 20th century, a new city was beginning to grow on some flat land near the sea in southern California; its name was Los Angeles. At the same time, a new industry was just being born: the cinema.

America’s movie industry began life in New York; but by 1910, movie-makers were moving to Los Angeles. In New York, everything was too expensive: workers, land, taxes. Moreover, it was difficult to make movies in winter, because it was too cold.

The Los Angeles region, on the other hand, was full of advantages. In California, they could make films all through the year; and everything was cheaper. In particular, there was lots of land for sale, especially in the Los Angeles suburb called Hollywood.

Movies quickly became very popular, and this popularity exploded after ―talkies‖ first appeared in 1925. Nevertheless, movies were expensive to produce, and film companies needed money-lots of it. For this reason, Hollywood rapidly became controlled by a small number of big companies such as MGM, 20th Century Fox, Warner Bros. and Paramount.

Since then, the big companies’ fortunes have ebbed and flowed, but most of them are still there. Some old names have disappeared, but some new ones have appeared, companies like Walt Disney and Steven Spielberg’s company Amblin. Today the biggest studios belong to huge international firms. For instance, News Corporation, which now owns Fox, also owns newspapers on three continents, and TV networks in America, Europe and Asia.

It is only huge companies like Fox that can afford to make today’s very expensive films; and for

Titanic-at the time the most expensive film ever mad-Fox had to get help from another big company, Paramount!

Once Hollywood mad fil ms just for America; today it makes them for the world. It’s the center of a global dream-machine. Perhaps we dreamed differently in the past. Today, thanks in part to Hollywood, people everywhere have similar dreams.

We now live in the age of global culture. Hollywood did not invent this culture-but for better or for worse, it has become one of the most powerful elements in it. Like it or not, we all now live on planet Hollywood.

33. What attracted the film industry to Los Angeles?

A. Cheaper costs and pleasant weather.

B. More talented actors and mild climate.

C. More skilled workers and plentiful land.

D. Large movie companies and lower wages.

34. Why did a few companies come to control the American film industry?

A. They were already experienced in film production.

B. They were able to employ the most creative people.

C. These companies were the first to make talkie films.

D. Small companies could not afford the film production costs.

35. The underlined ―ebbed and flowed‖ in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to __________.

A. improved rapidly

B. gone up and down

C. remained very stable

D. worsened gradually
