【2014河南省淇县高级中学一模】What makes a gift special? Is it the price you see on the gift receipt? Or is it the look on the recipient’s face when they receive it that determines the true value? What gift is worth the most?This Christmas I was debating what to give my father. My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming, and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion (蒲公英) standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift. I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the detai ls another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; my dad recited it as much as he did the other. I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood. I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.Christ mas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dad’s face as he unwrapped those swirling black letters car efully placed in a cheap frame, I knew I had given the perfect gift.60. The idea for a special gift began to form when the author was _______.A. doing shoppingB. having a debateC. reading a messageD. leaving for Wyoming61. The underlined word“it” in Paragraph 3 refers to a poem by _______.A. the fatherB. the authorC. William BlakeD. Edgar Allan Poe62. The author made the gift by _______.A. searching for the poems onlineB. drawing the background by handC. painting the letters in three colorsD. matching the words with pictures63. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To show how to design images for gifts.B. To suggest making gifts from one’s heart.C. To explain how computers help create gifts.D. To describe the gifts the author has received.【参考答案】60、DDBA【2014河南省淇县高级中学一模】Depression（抑郁症）is a serious problem today , Depression causes workers to be unproductive, causing companies and countries to lose billions of dollars, One expert says that depression is like cancer because it is “widespread, costly and deadly”Depression hits one person in five around the world.Although people have believed depression to be a problem among the rich and educated, studies show that depression is a problem among everyone, Over any six-month period, between five to seven percent of the world’s population will besuffering from a serious depression , Suicide rates among people suffering from the disease in its extreme ,or clinical form were 80 percent higher than in the population at large ,and sufferers were four times more likely to have heart attacks, People who suffer from depression often have problems sleeping , getting up on time, and doing work productively.Depression ,which researchers agree has its origin in the genes ,brings loss of confidence and ability to concentrate, making it impossible for employees and managers to work efficiently.In Western countries, people are not afraid to admit that they have depression ,but most do not tell it to their boss, because they fear that they will be stricken off the rolls, “In my experience, aging bosses are the most willing to admit they have it ,because they feel the most secure about themselves,”an American doctor says.Hopefully ,in the near future ,people around the world will be able to admit that they have depression so that they can get the right treatment.pared to normal people, the depressed people are likely to beA.very unconfident and often absent-mindedB.easy to avoid being hit by heart attacksC.working efficiently and productivelyD.either weak or lazy65.Depression becomes more serious in China because ofA.the understanding of the problemB.the lack of treatment and doctorsC.their unwillingness to tell it to their bossD.the doctors’ careless work66.What can we infer from the passage?A.

Janelle was running late for work, so she just had time for a q uick look at herself in the mirror as she was going out. What s he saw there made her stop dead in her tracks.Being a busy college student just one year removed from her teenage years, she wasn’t exactly obsessive-compulsive(有强迫观念和行为的) about the neatness of her clothes. But her boss at the rest aurant where she works saw things a little differently. He had recently lectured the entire staff on the importance of appeara nce, and had specifically mentioned the need for servers to w ear clean, unwrinkled blouses. As an assistant manager, Jane lle felt it was important to set an example for the other employ ees. But if she stopped to iron the blouse normally, she would be late —and work without delay was an area of even greater concern t o her boss.So she grabbed her iron and plugged it in and set it for low he at. Carefully holding her blouse away from her body, she conti nued to iron it while she was wearing it. It seemed like a logic al answer to an urgent problem.And it seemed to be working until Janelle tried to iron the colla r and accidentally ironed her neck by mistake. Then it suddenl y seemed like a really stupid idea and a really painful one as well. It took more time to treat her burn than it would have tak en to iron her shirt properly. And she spent a miserable shift d ealing with the pain of the burn.We’ve all been there, haven’t we? For me it was cutting my o wn hair. For a former roommate it was trying to pull his own wi sdom teeth. For another college acquaintance, it was trying to change the oil in his car while the motor was still running.“There’s a right way and a wrong way of doing things,” Dad us ed to tell me whenever I’d spoil the look of our yard by trying o ut a faster, easier and more creative way of pulling weeds or edging the lawn. “If a thing is worth doing,” he said, “it’s worth doing it right.”There’s a reason why certain things are done in certain ways. Those old, boring, predictable ways work. 1．Jenelle found in the mirror that __________.A．there were stains on her blouseB．her blouse was wrinkledC．she wore heavy makeupD．she put on a wrong blouse2．It’s learned from Paragraph 2 that______________. A．Jenelle had no sense of responsibility at work B．Jenelle failed to set an example for employees in daily wo rkC．Jenelle didn’t care about the neatness of her clothes at allD．Jenelle’s boss put doing something on time above appear ance3．What can we infer from the fifth paragraph?A．We all have done loads of things like Janelle.B．We are careful enough in daily life.C．We all have done something creative.D．We all have tried to iron clothes while we are wearing the m.4．What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the las t paragraph ?A．Be creative. B．A bad beginning makes a bad e nding.C．Stick to old ways. D．Do things right.参考答案1—4、BDAD【阅读理解】人物故事类阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

By Rich Ezzo. It took only about an hour to read.When I first received a copy, I thought it was a Get Rich Quick type of publication. Nothing is wrong with Get Rich Quick, but my mind just doesn’t chase after dreams of wealth. I think that if God ever wants me to be rich, he knows where to find my purse.When I began reading When Money Talks, Listen!,I was overjoyed to find that Rich Ezzo isn’t money hungry either. He, too, is hungry far more important than money.Since I love this e-book so much, why wait a week to write the review? Simple. I wanted to see if the effect it had on me was a keeper. After reading the last word of the e-book, I totally agreed with the subtitle which promised to forever change the way we thought about money. I had so many thoughts running around my mind that I had to install(安装) a stoplight to stop some while others made their way into the picture, then I yielded(让路) them as a few ones arrived in town. I had a mental traffic jam, which only goes to show how slow the traffic usually is.It has been a week and the effect is the same. I truly do look at money differently and have even done a few things differently this week. This is an e-book you’ll want to read, I promise. I often recommend books to my daughter, and this is one that I didn’t just “suggest”---I left it open at the bottom of the computer and told each one, “Read it, you’ll love it.”I would never point someone in a direction I wouldn’t go myself. I urge you to visit the author’s website, Myster Money, and to download the e-book. You won’t regret it.41. According to the passage, a Get Rich Quick type of publication ______.A. is what the author really cares forB. deals with how to make moneyC. is also an e-book written by Rich EzzoD. is more popular than e-books42.The author didn't write the review as soon as he finished reading the bookbecause________.A. he was too excited to write anythingB. he was not sure whether he did wellC. he had to wait for Rich Ezzo's permissionD. he wondered if the book would have long influence on him43. By saying the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4, the author probably_________.A. shows that the book brought him many new thoughtsB. shows how bad the traffic is in townC. describes the difficulty in understanding the bookD. explains it's hard to change one's attitude to money44. Which of the following is supported by the passage?A. The author had known Rich Ezzo before.B. The author hasn't dreamed of getting rich immediately.C. The author always prefers e-books to paper books.D. The author likes Get Rich Quick-type of publications.B“Linda, if beating yourself up were an Olympic sport, you’d win a gold medal!”Annabel, my close friend, stunned me with that frank observation after I told her how I had mishandled a situation with a student in a third-grade class where I was substituting. “I should never have let him go to the boy’s room without a pass! It was my fault he got into trouble with the hall monitor! I’m so stupid!”My friend burst out laughing, and then made her “Olympic” comment. After a brief period of reflection I had to admit that she was right. I did put myself down an awful lot. Why, just during the previous day I had called myself “a slob” for having some papers spread out on my desk, “ugly” when I left the house without makeup and “an idiot” when I left the house for an emergency substitute job without my emergency lesson plan.In a more reflective tone, Annabel said, “I once took a workshop at church where the woman in charge had us list all the mean things we say about ourselves.”“How many did you have on your list?” I asked.“Fifteen,”she confessed. “But then the teacher said, ‘Now turn to the person next to you and say all the items on your list as if you were speaking to that person!’”My jaw dropped. “What did you do?”“Nothing. Nobody did. We all just sat there, until I said, ‘I could never say these things to anyone else!’”“And our teacher replied, ‘Well, if you can’t say them to anyone else, then don’t ever say them to yourself!’”My friend had a point. I would never insult a child of God---and I’m God’s child, too!God, today let me be as kind to myself as I would be to another of Your children.45. What does Annabel mean by the first sentence of the passage?A. The writer is a good athlete.B. The writer scolds herself too much.C. She is encouraging the writer.D. A gold medal is not a big deal.46. What does the writer intends to tell us through the second and third paragraphs?A. She has low self-esteem over some small things.B. She often makes serious mistakes in daily life.C. She is a third-grade teacher.D. She cares too much about her appearance.47. We can infer that the underlined word “slob” might be _____.A. something untidyB. someone dangerousC. something dirtyD. someone lazy48. What does the writer mean by the last sentence of the passage?A. She is ready to turn to God for help.B. She will be kind to all children.C. She won’t insult herself as well as others.D. She is willing to be a child of God.CThe rise of the so-called “boomerang ge neration” is revealed in official figures showing that almost one in five graduates in their late 20s now live with their parents.By contrast, only one in eight university graduates had failed to fly the nest by the same age 20 years ago. It also found that grown-up sons are twice as likely as their sisters to still be living with their parents in their late 20s. With nearly a quarter of men approaching 30 still living at home, the findings are bound to lead to claims of a “generation of mummy’s boys”.Young professionals in their late 20s or early 30s have been nicknamed the “boomerang generation” because of the trend toward returning to the family home having initially left to study. Recent research has suggested that young people in Britain are twice as likely to choose to live with their parents in their late 20s than their counterparts elsewhere in Europe.Rising property prices, mounting student debts and the effects of recession on the job market have forced a wave of young people to move back into the family home at an age when they would normally be moving out. But commentators warned that the phenomenon may have more to do with young people facing “dire” prospects than simply a desire to save money.While the proportion of those of university or college age moving out from the family home has continued to rise in the last 20 years, among those in their mid and late 20s the trend has been reversed. Overall 1.7 million people aged from 22 to 29 now share a roof with their parents, including more than 760,000 in their late 20s. In 1988, 22.7 per cent of men aged 25 to 29 were still living with their parents but last year the proportion was 24.5 per cent.49. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The economic crisis has shown its effect on the young generation.B. More young professionals are returning home to live.C. British parents are suffering more loads from their grown-up children.D. Britain is suffering more than any other country in Europe.50. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Male children seem to more independent than females.B. Eighty percent of university graduates were able to live independently twodecades ago.C. The grown-up children choose to live with their parents only to save money.D. More and more children are moving out at university age.51. What does the underlined word “dire” probably mean?A. promising.B. inconvenient.C. very bad.D. hopeful52. The following factors may account for the phenomenon except _____.A. that living prices have risen a lot.B. that it’s difficult to land a job.C. that education has already cost them a lotD. that parents can help them moreDViolin prodigies (神童), I learned, have come in distinct waves from distinct regions. Most of the great performers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries were born and brought up in Russia and Eastern Europe. I asked Isaac Stern, one of the world’s greatest violinists the reason for this phenomenon. “It is very clear,” he told me. “They were all Jews and Jews at the time were severely oppressed and ill-treated in that part of the world. They were not allowed into the professional fields, but they were allowed to achieve excellence on a concert stage.” As a result, every Jewish parent’s dream w as to have a child in the music school because it was a passport to the West.Another element in the emergence of prodigies, I found, is a society that values excellence in a certain field to nurture(培养) talent. Nowadays, the most nurturing societies seem to be in the Far East. “In Japan, a most competitive society, with stronger discipline than ours,” says Isaac St ern, children are ready to test their limits every day in many fields, including music. When Western music came to Japan after World War II, that music not only became part of their daily lives, but it became a discipline as well. The Koreans and Chinese as we know, are just as highly motivated as the Japanese.That’s a good thing, because even prodigies must work hard. Next to hard work, biological inheritance plays an important role in the making of a prodigy. J. S. Bach, for example, was the top of several generations of musicians, and four of his sons had significant careers in music.53. Jewish parents in Eastern Europe longed for their children to attend music school because ________.A. it would allow them access to a better life in the WestB. Jewish children are born with excellent musical talentC. they wanted their children to enter into the professional fieldD. it would enable the family to get better treatment in their own country54. Nurturing societies as mentioned in the passage refer to societies that ________.A. are highly motivated in the education of musicB. treasure talent and provide opportunities for its full developmentC. encourage people to compete with each otherD. promise talented children high positions55. Which of the following contributes to the emergence of musical prodigiesaccording to the passage?A. a natural gift.B. extensive knowledge of music.C. very early training.D. a prejudice-free society.56. Which of the following titles best summarizes the main idea of the passage?A. Jewish Contribution to MusicB. Training of Musicians in the WorldC. Music and SocietyD. The Making of Music ProdigiesEI promised Michael I wouldn’t mention this until the season was over．Now l think it's time．Early last season, I wrote a column about an art of kindness I had seen Jordan do to a disabled child outside the stadium．After it ran，I got a call from a marl in the western suburbs．He said，“I read what you wrote about Jordan．but I thought I should tell you another thing I saw．”Here it comes, I thought. It always does. Write something nice about a person, and people call you up to say that the person is not so nice.A few weeks later Jordan and I were talking about something else before a game, and I brought up what the man had said. Was the man right? Had Jordan really been talking to those two boys in that poor and dirty .neighborhood?"Not two boys," Jordan said. "But four."And he named them. He said four names. And what did they talk about?"Everything,” Jordan said. "Anything. I’ve asked to see their grades so that I can check to see if they're paying attention to their study. If it turns out that one or two of them may need teaching, I make sure they get it."It's just one more part of Michael Jordan's life one more thing that no one knows about, and one more thing Jordan does fight for. The NBA season is over now, and those boys have their memories. So do J! When the expert reviewers begin to tuna against Jordan as they surely will, I'll think about those boys under the streetlight, waiting for the man they know to come. For someone they can depend on.57. The writer wrote this story about Jordan and his young friends because _______A. he thought highly of Jordan's deedsB. he hated to see Jordan do something badC. he believed it was time to help the disabledD. he felt sure he needn't keep the promise then58.

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。
Coffee is one of the most popular drinks throughout the world today. In fact, according to some estimates, over 30% of all adults in the world drink coffee at least once a day on the average. Coffee contains a kind of drug called caffeine. Caffeine is a chemical that stimulates (刺激) the nerves of the body. Drinking coffee tends to make people a little bit more awake―at least for a short time―because of this stimulating effe ct on the nervous system. A cup of coffee has, on the average, about 3% caffeine in it.One story of the discovery of the coffee plant relates to this effect of caffeine. According to the story, coffee was discovered in East Africa. The story says that coffee was first found by a goat farmer named Kaldi. This was about the year 850. Kaldi was leading his animals through the mountains and the goats were stopping repeatedly to eat the plants near the path. Suddenly, some of the goats started jumping up and down in a very strange way. Kaldi figured out that the goats were acting this way because of the plants they were eating. Kaldi himself tried eating some of the green beans (豆荚) that the goats had been eating. He, too, felt the stimulating effect of the beans. Kaldi wanted to prove what had happened, so he picked some of the beans and took them back to the village, where he told his story.The green bean got the name "Kaffa" and later "coffee" because the beans were discovered in a place called Kaffa in Africa. Then for years, people used to eat a few of the green Kaffa beans when they were in the mountains and needed extra energy to do their work. It was later found that the coffee beans could be picked and then dried until they turned brown, and then they could be stored. If the beans were dried and stored, they could be used at any time.1.What is the purpose of drinking coffee?A. To become more awake.B. To become more healthy.C. To become more happy.D. To become more clever.2.How did the goats react after eating the plants?A. They fell asleep.B. They could not find their way home.C. They started jumping up and down.D. They wanted to eat more.3.Why did the green bean get the name "Kaffa"?A. Because Kaldi loved his home village very much.B. Because Kaldi's goats loved the green bean very much.C. Because the beans were discovered in a place by this name.D. Because the beans could be picked and dried.【参考答案】1.A 2.C 3.C【解析】试题分析：本文为我们介绍了咖啡豆。

You've probably heard about sports coaches, fitness coaches, voice and music teachers, career counselors, psychiatrists(精神病医师) and other specialists who teach skills and help us cope with daily life.But there's a rapidly growing kind of professional who does a little bit of everything. She or h e is called a “ life coach ”. People who are at crossroads in their lives, and corporations that want to give certain employees a career boost, are turning to them for help.The idea that one person’s success story can change other people’s lives for the b etter goes back at least to the 1930s. Dale Carnegie’s famous self-improvement program “How to Win Friends and Influence People” came along soon thereafter.But this new style of life coaches includes more than enthusiastic speakers or writers. They use their own experiences in business, sports, military service, or psychotherapy (心理疗法)to help others make critical life decisions.They often give their approach a slogan, such as “energy coaching” or “fearless living” or “working yourself happy”.Dave Lakhani in Boise, Idaho, for instance, works with salespeople to develop what he calls a “road map”. He says an ongoing relationship with a coach is like having a personal fitness trainer for one’s career and life outside work.Lakhani’s Bold Approach coaching fi rm also donates some of its time to help people who are anything but successful---including battered women and struggling single mothers.But others in the so-called “helping professions” are not thrilled about the life-coaching movement. They say that anyone, trained or untrained, can call himself or herself a life coach, and that slick(华而不实的) promoters who mess with people’s lives can do more harm than good.1. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Working Yourself Happy.B. Life Coaches Help with Tough Decisions.C. How to Cope with Daily Life with Life Coaches.D. The Life-Coaching Movement.2. The underlined phrase “life coach” in Paragraph 2 means“_______”.A. The career counselor who teaches skillsB. The psychiatrist who helps us cope with daily lifeC. The fitness coach who teaches us lessonsD. The specialist who helps us make important life decisions3.The last paragraph is mainly about__________.A. the introductions of life coachB. the disagreements of life coachC. the effects of life coachD. the experiences of life coach4.What is the author’s attitude towards life coaches?A. Cautious．B. Approving．C. Casual．D. Disapproving．参考答案1—4、BDBA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。
