A
Randy Kraus was paralyzed (瘫痪的). His left side was useless and he felt he could do nothing. He’d been a police officer before, and he was strong and able.
His trouble started with Parkinson’s disease, but it didn’t end there. In July, 2002, the
60-year-old Kraus went into the hospital for an operation on his brain to control the shaking. But during the operation, he had a stroke (中风). He was paralyzed. The doctor said, "You may never walk again and you might not even be able to talk."
Kraus found that he couldn’t lift a fork or take a drink by himself. Physical treatment was so painful and slow. What did he have to live for? So Kraus held the gun against his head. Feeling the cold metal on his skin, he began to consider the pain he would cause for his wife, daughters and grandchildren. He didn’t pull the trigger (扳机).
Andrew Garud, his exercise physiologist (生理学家), told him, "You are where you are. The pace would be slow; the pain would be real. But as long as you are alive, you have the ability to get better."
After three months of working with Garud, Kraus wanted to see if he could stand. He could. Then he took three steps, sat down and cried like a baby.
One step, as they say, led to another. Next he managed a short walk along the edge of a boxing ring (拳击台) in the health club. It was the hardest fight in Kraus’ life. People at the gym cheered him on. Garud kept saying he could do more. Now, Kraus can brush his teeth, shave himself, and get around the house with a walker. Only the paralyzed can fully understand little triumphs.
21. According to the fourth paragraph, what did Andrew Garud mean?
A. Everyone in the world has the right to be alive.
B. It’s necessary for people to do exercise to keep healthy.
C. One should try to live a better life.
D. As long as a person is alive, he will have a chance to be better.
22. What does the underlined word "triumphs" in the last paragraph mean?
A. Difficulties.
B. Successes.
C. Disappointments.
D. Reputations.
23. What personality does Kraus probably have?
A. Optimism.
B. Strong-mindedness.
C. Sympathy.
D. Generosity.
24. According to the passage, we can learn that _____.
A. the stroke during the operation on his brain led to Kraus’ paralysis
B. Kraus’ operation in 2002 was performed by Andrew Garud
C. doing exercise can help cure Parkinson’s disease
D. Kraus will live a normal life as a healthy person in the future

Arriving in New York
There are three airports in New York. When you arrive at one of them, you can take a bus or a taxi to any place in New York.
Eating out

Public transport
In New York, there’s a good bus and subway service. If you are planning to use the public transport a lot, you should buy a subway ticket for the journey because it’s cheaper.

C
Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 a. m. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.
I walked to the door and knocked. "Just a minute," answered a weak, elderly voice.
After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.
I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we
walked slowly toward the car.
She kept thanking me for my kindness. "It’s nothing," I told her. "I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated."
"Oh, you’re such a good man," she said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, "Could you drive through downtown?"
"It’s not the shortest way," I answered quickly.
"Oh, I’m in no hurry," she said. "I’m on my way to a hospice (临终医院). I don’t have any family left. The doctor says I don’t have very long."
I quietly reached over and shut off the metre (计价器).
For the next two hours, we drove through downtown. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighbourhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
Sometimes she’d ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.
At dawn, she suddenly said, "I’m tired. Let’s go now."
We drove in silence to the address she had given me.
"How much do I owe you?" she asked.
"Nothing," I said.
"You have to make a living," she answered. "Oh, there are other passengers," I answered.
Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, "You gave an old woman a little moment of joy."
29. The old woman chose to ride through downtown in order to _____.
A. show she was familiar with downtown
B. see some places for the last time
C. let the driver earn more money
D. reach the destination on time
30. The taxi driver did not charge the old woman because he _____.
A. wanted to do her a favour
B. shut off the metre by mistake
C. had received her payment in advance
D. was in a hurry to take other passengers
31. What can we learn from the story?
A. Giving is always a pleasure.
B. People should respect each other.
C. An act of kindness can bring people great joy.
D. People should learn to appreciate others’ concern.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
No fight can end, and no friendship can move on, until everyone says these little words: I’m sorry. Sometimes, though, they can be difficult to say. 36. _____
It’s not about winning.
Friendships aren’t like the Super Bowl, and there should never be a winner and a loser. When you start fighting with a friend, it may feel important that you "win" the fight by proving you’re right and he is wrong, or by making him be the first to apologize.
37. _____
You may have heard the expression "His pride stood in the way". It is usually used to describe a person who is so determined to be "right" that he lets an opportunity for happiness pass him by forever. 38. _____ Remember: as time goes on, we usually forget about who was right and who was wrong in a disagreement, and only remember the sadness of losing a friend.
Take the first step.
Are you sick of fighting? Do you think this fight is just not important enough to ruin your friendship?
39. _____ You don’t have to take full responsibility for starting the fight, or even say that your feelings were wrong. But you should find something you did or said that’s worth apologizing for. Maybe you’re sorry that you let the fight go for so long, or that you overreacted (反应过度的) to something your friend did. If you say you are sorry, it’s like an invitation for your friend to do the same. 40. _____

高二英语 出题：李红勤李星玲校对：高二外语组（2016.12） I. 阅读理解(共30分) 第一节（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 A On a Saturday night at home while relaxing with friends, a dog showed up at the house. In an attempt to find the legal owner and return the dog, we knocked on the door of the legal owner and an old man opened the door. This was the start of an interesting week. The old man sat down, made himself at home, and gifted us the dog. After a brief visit, he left, and we were now the proud owners of this dog. It takes experience and knowledge to know that our lifestyle can’t satisfy the needs of this dog; the owner that gifted us the dog was mismatched for him as well. Three attempts to return the dog to his old owner failed. (I think he was avoiding us.) Because our lifestyle didn’t allow us to give this poor dog the attention he needed, he disturbed the neighbors. They got involved. After we shared the story, they gained a new perspective and wisely stepped in to help us find a solution. One week later it was decided that dog would be picked up from us by the old neighbor. He would then return it to the previous owner who was more equipped to care for it. When faced with unexpected challenges in life, it helps to see everyo ne’s perspective. We have to look at one another’s perspective to solve a problem with honesty, experience and knowledge. That’s the sign of a leader. Although the old neighbor typically has little to do with leadership, it did bring a neighborhood together to understand one another and work as a team to solve a problem. 1. Why was the dog taken to the author’s home? A. To find food to eat. B. To seek a proper owner. C. The author was friendly to him. D. The old man couldn’t feed him. 2. What did the author find after he was gifted with the dog?
荥阳高中2017-1018学年上学期实验班 阶段性测试（四）高二英语 第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A “I am not an American,” mark twain (1835-1910) once said, “I am the American.” He had good reason to say so. A Nobel winner in literature, US playwright Eugene O’ Neill called him “the father of American literature”. Twain is someone Americans are taught to love. Older relatives, English teachers and the media often praise him. But when you actually take the time to read the adventures of Tom Sawyer, which was first published 140 years ago, you find that his work is more wonderful than you could ever have imagined. The novel describes a young boy named Tom Sawyer growing up in a small town along the Mississippi River. He explores the countryside on a riverboat with his friends, falls in love with girls, starts secret clubs and searches for treasure. Twain’s idea of childhood is magical – a time of imagination, wonder and, of course, adventure. More importantly, through the eyes of Tom Sawyer, Twain cleverly makes fun of US culture. For example, Tom hates going to church, and Twain uses Tom to make fun of religion and its old traditions. “Often, the less there is to justify a traditional custom, the ha rder it is to get rid of it,” he writes in one chapter. Twain’s writing is full of these kinds of critical points about culture and politics. That’s why he is so loved in the US –he wasn’t afraid to state his opinions, and he did so clearly. For instance, Twain didn’t like US wars abroad. In 1900, after the US invaded the Philippines, Twain wrote in a newspaper article: “We do not intend to free, but to subjugate the people of the Philippines… We have gone there to conquer.” He also believed strongly in wo men’s right to vote in elections and gave a famous speech on the subject, called “Votes for Women”, in 1901.

Lorna followed her father into the flat, where they found a pan on fire in the kitchen and the young mother, Mane Linn, who had been asleep, lost consciousness in the smoke-blackened sitting room. Lorna’s dad threw a wet cloth over the pan and then turned off the stove before starting to help Mane through the smoke down the stairs to safety. Suddenly Mane started crying, “My baby, my baby!” “Where’s the baby?” asked Lorna. “In the bedroom,” Mane shouted back. While John pulled the crying mother from the house, Lorna, without a thought for her own safety, turned back to search for the baby. She found the little girl, 14-month-old Ann lying with her eyes closed. Lorna quickly took the baby, rushed downstairs through the fire and smoke. “It didn’t cross my mind at the time that I was near to dying when I rushed through the smoke,” said Lorna. “I was just thinking of the baby. Even after I came out of the house, I wasn’t frightened.” When help arrived, baby Ann and her mum were taken to hospital for treatment. It was only when Lorna got back into the saf ety of her own house that she realized the danger she had faced. “I started shaking all over and thought of what could have happened to me,” she said. 1. What did Lorna’s dad choose to do first when he entered the flat? A. Put out the fire. B. Turn off the stove. C. Open the windows. D. Help Mane downstairs. 2. What was the cause of the fire? A.
