A“It happened over three years ago,” Paddy said helplessly. No one answered him or moved, for no one knew what to do. “Just don't tell my mother,” said Fee numbly. “And no one did! Oh, God! My poor, poor Frank!”Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said. “Fee dear, pack your things. We'll go to see him.”She half-rose before sinking back, her eyes in her small white facestared as if dead. “I can't go,”she said without a hint of pain, yet making everyone feel that the pain was there. “It would kil l him to see me. I know him so well—his pride, his ambition. Let him bear the shame alone, it's what he wants. We've got to help him keep his secret. What good will it do him to see us?”Paddy was still weeping, not for Frank, but for the life which had gone from Fee's face, for the dying in her eyes. Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune, always stood between Fee and himself. He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children. Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away. But Paddy's love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank.So he said. “Well, Fee, we won't go. But we must make sure he is taken care of. How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank?”The eyes didn't liven, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks. “Yes, Paddy, do that. Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out. Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don't know.”1. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Frank was found guilty of murder because he was a prof essional boxer.B. The family didn't find out what happened to Frank until three years later.C. The jury and the judge disagreed on whether Frank had committed murder.D. Frank didn't want his family to find out what happened because Paddydisliked him.2.

Fee didn't want to upset Paddy by visiting FrankC. Fee couldn't leave her family to go to see FrankD. Fee struggled between wanting to see Frank and respecting his wish4.

With your perseverance and improvement, you are getting closer to success. At this stage, wait for others to congratulate you on your accomplishment s and compliments graciously. “Thanks, I really worked hard on that prospect. I’m pleased you recognize my efforts.” The congratulations and compliments from others will promote you to gain further success.Self-confidence is extremely important in almost every aspect of our lives, and it is no wonder that so many people struggle to find it. Self-confidence really can be learned and built on. Besides, whether you’re working on your own self-confidence or building the confidence of people around you, it’s well worth the effort!6. Those who are truly confident _________.A. succeed without effort and hard workB. encourage people around to become confidentC. appear more attractive and thus become successfulD. gain the confidence of others and feel successful7. The underlined word “mock” (Para.3 ) is closest in meaning to ________.A. praiseB. imitateC. punishD. laugh at8. When others congratulate us on our achievements, we are supposed to ________.A. praise them in returnB. gain further improvementC. politely accept the complimentsD. expect them to congratulate you again9. Which of the following proverbs best goes with Paragraph 4?A. Look before your leap.B. It is no use crying over spilt milk.C. Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.D. Learn from past mistakes and avoid future ones.10. The purpose of the text is to ________________.A. tell people how to become successfulB. convince people to do what they believe to be rightC. encourage people to build confidence and achieve successD. criticize people who lack confidence and thus fail in their careerAdvertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they’re always coming in for criticism (批评). Their critics seem to hate or resent them because they have a gift for self-promotion and because they have so much money to throw around. “It’s unfair,” they say, “that this entirely unproductive industry (if we can call it that) should absorb millions of pounds each year. It only goes to show how much profit the big companies are making. Why don’t they stop advertising and reduce the price of their goods? After all, it’s the consumer who pays…”The poor old consumer! He’d have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn’t create mass markets for products. It is exactly because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. But we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods. Another equally important function is to inform. A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods comes largely from the advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about. Supposing you wanted to buy a washing machine, it is more likely that you would obtain details about performance, price, etc., from an advertisement.Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements, but this claim may be seriously doubted. It is hardly possible not to readadvertisements these days. And what fun they often are, too! Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements. Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall or reading railway regulations while waiting for a train? Would you like to read only closely-printed columns of news in your daily paper? A cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a difference to a dull wall or a newspaper full of the daily amount of great disasters.We must not forget, either, that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets. Newspapers, commercial radio and television companies could not survive without this source of income. The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programmes is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers. Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price!Another thing we mustn’t forget is the “small ads”, which are actually in every newspaper and magazine. What an extremely useful service they perform for the community! Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns! For instance, you can find a job, buy or sell a house, announce a birth, marriage or death in what used to be called the “hatch, match and dispatch” column but so far the most fascinating section is the personal or “agony” column (读者来信专栏). No other item in a newspaper provides such entertaining reading or offers such a deep insight into human nature. It’s the best advertisement for advertising there is!11. What is the main idea of this passage?A. The costs of advertisement.B. Advertisers tend to think big.C. The benefits of advertisement.D. Advertisements perform a useful service to communities.12. Why do the critics criticize advertisers?A. Because customers are poor.B. Because critics think advertisement is a waste of money.C. Because advertisers promote products with too much money.D. Because customers are encouraged to buy more than necessary.13. Which of the following is Not true?A. Advertisement makes our life colorful.B. Newspapers are worth more than we pay.C. Good quality products don’t need to be advertised.D. Advertisement makes contribution to our pockets and we may know everything.14. In what way does the writer try to support his view?A. ComparisonB. DescriptionC. NarrationD. Definition参考答案11—14 DCCA【甘肃省金昌二中2013模拟】BDad came in the midnight. We heard every sound, but we pretended to be asleep.Next morning he looked weak and thin, sitting in a chair by the kitchen fire. The light of the fire shone through his long empty sleeve. Everything went as usual. Grandma found something to do in the bedroom. Grandpa went out for some water. Mother, with her back to us, was getting the cakes ready for breakfast.But nothing was right. When grandma came out of the bedroom, she walked on tiptoe. When grandpa came back, he said nothing about the weather. At breakfast Mother passed us the fruit and said something, but her voice was too high.At last my sister, Lou, pushed back her chair. “It’s your turn to wash the dishes.” But I had w ashed the dishes the night before. I said nothing because it was not right to quarrel in front of Dad just home with the empty sleeve.“It is your turn,” Lou said again. I looked at her in surprise.“It is not,” I said because I suddenly remembered Mothe r had told us to go on as usual.“Children, children,” Mother said in a quiet, glad kind of voice.And Dad was smiling because he felt at home at last.45.What do you know happened to Dad in the story?A.He was badly ill.

A.The Quarrelling Sisters B.Dad Was BackC.After the Accident D.An Empty Sleeve【参考答案】45--48、D CABWhich is sillier: denying we ever went to the moon or trying to convince the true nonbelievers?Once upon a time – July 20, 1969, to be specific – two men got out of their little spaceship and wandered around on the moon for a while. Ten more men walked on the moon over the next three and a half years.Unfortunately, not quite. A fair number of Americans think that this whole business of moon landings really is a fairy tale. They believe that the landings were a big hoax (骗局) staged in the Mojave Desert, to convince everyone that U.S. technology was th e “best” in the whole wideworld.Which is the harder thing to do: Send men to the moon or make believe we did? The fact is the physics behind sending people to the moon is simple. You can do it with computers whose entire memory capacities can now fit on chips the size of postage stamps and that cost about as much as, well, a postage stamp. I know you can because we did.However, last fall NASA considered spending $15,000 on apublic-relations campaign to convince the unimpressed that Americans had in fact gone to the moon. That idea was mostly a reaction to a Fox television program, first aired in February 2001, that claimed to expose the hoax. The show’s creator is a publicity hound (猎狗) who has lived up to the name in more ways than one by hounding Buzz Aldrin, the second man on the moon. Mr. X (as I will call him, thereby denying him the joyous sight of his name in print) recently followed Buzz Aldrin around and called him “a thief, liar and coward” until the 72-year-old astronaut finally lost it and hit the 37-year-old Mr. X in the face.Anyway, NASA’s publicity campaign began to slow down. The nonbelievers took the campaign as NASA’s effort to hide something while the believers said that $15,000 to convince people that the world was round — I mean, that we had gone to the moon — was simply a waste of money. (Actually, the $15,000 was supposed to pay for an article by James E. Oberg, an astronomy writer who, with Aldrin, has contributed to Scientific American.)If NASA’s not paying Oberg, perhaps it could put the money to good use by hiring two big guys to drag Neil Armstrong out of the house. Armstrong is an extremely private man, but he is also the first man on the moon, so maybe he has a duty to be a bit more outspoken about the experience. Or NASA could just buy Aldrin a commemorate plaque (纪念匾) for his recent touch on the face of Mr. X.15. We can learn from Paragraphs 2 and 3 that some Americans believe _______.A. moon landings were inventedB. U.S. technology was the bestC. moon landing ended successfullyD. the Mojave Desert was the launching base16. According to the writer, which of the following is to blame for the story about the hoax?A. NASA’s publicity campaign.B. The Fox television program.C. Buzz Aldrin.D. JamesE. Oberg.17. According to the writer, Mr. X _______.A. told a faithful storyB. was not treated properlyC. was a talented creatorD. had a bad reputation18. The believers think that NASA’s publicity campaign is ________.A. proof to hide the truthB. stupid and unnecessaryC. needed to convince the non-believersD. important to develop space technology19. What is implied in the last paragraph?A. NASA should not bother with the non-believers.B. Armstrong was a very private and determined person.C. Armstrong should be as outspoken as Buzz Aldrin.D. NASA should send more astronauts to outer space.20. The tone of the article is _______.A. angryB. conversationalC. humorousD.matter-of-fact参考答案15—20 ABDBAC。

His father, Nicholas Chopin, was a French tutor to many noble families, later accepting a 1 as a French teacher at the Warsaw Lyceum.Although Chopin later 2 the Lyceum where his father taught, his early 3 began at home.
