河北定州中学2016-2017学年第一学期高四英语周练试题（12） 一、阅读理解 A sick little girl is being kept alive thanks to her best friend — a dog who carries her oxygen tank on his back. Alida’s faithful dog companion Mr Gibbs has been specially trained to shepherd the three-year-old, who breathes through a tube most of the time. He follows her closely as she plays in her family’s ten-acre land in Louisville, uses the slide or even rides her bike. Alida was diagnosed with neuroendocrine hyperplasia of infancy（NEHI）when she was just eight months old. Her rare condition has just eight hundred documented sufferers throughout the world, and causes diseased pieces of the lungs to filter oxygen through extra layers of cells, making it hard or almost impossible to breathe. For Alida and her parents, it meant that even a walk in the park was very difficult because oxygen equipment was too heavy for the youngster to be able to carry herself. As parents, they wanted to do something to help their daughter survive despite having a tube following her all the time. The couple found out about “service dogs” from a TV program and realized an animal trained to help the blind could be trained to help Alida. They finally found help in the shape of golden doodle—a retriever crossed with a poodle-dog Mr Gibbs. Now thanks to trainer Ashleigh Kinsley—Alida and Mr Gibbs love nothing more than playing and running around together with the dog acting as Alida’s life saver. 1．What is Mr Gibbs? A. A pet dog. B. A policeman. C. A doctor. D. A firefighter. 2．When did the doctor know Alida caught the disease? A. At her birth. B. At the age of eight. C. Before she was one year old. D. When she was three years old. 3．The underlined part “the couple” in paragraph 3 refers to _______. A. Alida’s classmates B. Alida’s parents C. Alida’s doctors D. Alida’s pets 4．How did Alida keep alive? A. By training her dog. B. By staying with her parents. C. By playing with her fellows. D. By breathing through a tube.

Do you love hamburgers? Do you how they were created? The first hamburgers in U.S. history were served in New Haven, Connecticut, at Louis’ Lunch sandwich shop in 1895. Louis Lassen, founder of Louis’ Lunch, ran a small lunch wagon selling steak sandwiches to local factory workers. Because he didn’t like to waste the excess beef from his daily lunch rush, he ground it up, grilled it, and served it between two slice of bread—and thus America’s first hamburger was created. The small Crown Street restaurant is still owned and operated by the third and fourth generations of the Lassen family. Hamburgers are still the specialty of the house, where steak is ground fresh each day and hand molded, slow cooked, broiled vertically, and served between two slices of toast with your choice of only three “acceptable” garnishes: cheese, tomato, and onion. Want ketchup or mustard? Forget it. You will be told “no” in no uncertain terms. This is the home of the greatest hamburger in the world, claim the owners, who are perhaps best known for allowing their customers to have a burger the Lassen way or not at all. 5．Why did Louis Lassen start making hamburgers? A. Because he didn’t want to waste excess beef. B. Because he wanted to earn more money. C. Because he would like to make something special. D. Because he was the founder of Louis’ Lunch. 6．Which of the following is not available for customers to choose from at Louis Lunch? A. Cheese. B. Tomato. C. Mustard. D. Onion. 7．What does the underlined words “Crown Street restaurant” in the third paragraph refer to? A. A restaurant on the Crown Street. B. A restaurant called Crown Street. C. Louis’ Lunch sandwich shop. D. A new chain shop of Louis’ Lunch on Crown Street. 8．The best title of this article is________. A. The Creation of hamburgers B. Louis’ Lunch C. A king of fast-food----Hamburgers D. Why People Love Hamburgers

I never thought I would have a life-changing experience at Wal-Mart. Although my thoughts were only on speed, the checkout line I was standing in wasn't moving as quickly as I wanted, and I glanced toward the cashier. There stood a man in his seventies, wearing glasses and a nice smile. I thought, well, he's an old guy! For the next few minutes I watched him. He greeted every customer before scanning the items. Sure, his words were the usual, “How's it going？” But he did something different—he actually listened to people. Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in a brief conversation. I thought it was odd. I had grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of robotic conversational habit. After a while, you don't give any thought to the question and just mumble something back. I could say, “I just found out I have six months to live，” and someone would reply, “Have a great day！” But that wasn't the end. He gave them the change, walked around the counter, and extended his right hand in
