It was a cold evening and my daughter and I were walking up Broadway. I didn’t notice a guy sitting inside a cardboard box. But Nora did. She wasn’t even four, but she 36 at my coat and said, “That man’s cold. Daddy, 37 we take h im home?”
I don’t remember my reply. But I do remember a sudden 38 feeling inside me. I had always been delighted at how much my daughter noticed in her 39 , whether it was 40 in flight or children playing. But now she was noticing 41 and beggary.
A few days later, I saw an article in the newspaper about volunteers who picked up a food package from a nearby school on a Sunday morning and 42 it to an elderly person. It was quick and easy.

Nora played and when it came time to say goodbye, we three hugged, I walked home in tears.
Professionals call such a(n) 51 “a volunteer opportunity”. They are opportunities, I’ve come to see. Where else but as volunteers do you have opportunity to do something 52 that’s good for others as well as for yourself? Nora and I regularly serve to needy people and 53 clothes for the homel ess. Yet, as I’ve 54 her grow over these past four years, I still wonder—which of us has 55 more?

第三部分: 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和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
It was a warm April day when a big fat envelope came in the mail from the only college I had ever imagined attending. I tore open the packet. My eyes were fixed on the word “congratulations. ”I don’t remember ever smiling so wide.
Then I looked at my financial（财政的）package.
The cost of Dream School’s tuition（学费）, room and board was around $ 40,000- an impossible sum! How could I afford to attend? What good reasons did I have to go there when three other fine colleges were offering me free tuition? My other choices were good, solid schools even if they weren’t as famous as my first choice.
In my mind, attending my dream university would be the only way to realize my dream of becoming a world-class writer. My parents understood how I felt. They told me that even though it would be a financial problem, I could go wherever I would be happiest. But as I was always careful with money, I wasn’t sure what to do.
One of the schools that offered me a full ride had an informational dinner one night in the spring. Considering my parents’ financial difficulties, I decided to drive the 45 minutes and attend. At first, all I had planned to do was smile politely, eat free food, listen quietly. But I surprised myself.
At dinner the president of the university talked about the wonderful activities on campus （校园）including guest lectures and social gatherings. He also made it perfectly clear that free food would be offered at all future events. He continued with explanations of professors, class sizes, activities, and sporting events on campus. As he spoke, I began to realize that this school, though not as good as my first choice, might be the best one for me. It seemed small yet with many great programs. It seemed challenging yet caring.
As the president ended his speech, we clapped politely and pushed back our chairs. As I walked out that door, a feeling of comfort washed over me. Looking at the campus that night, I
realized that I would be spending the next four years right there.
In all honesty, my university is not as well-known as my “dream”university. However, it turned out to be the right choice of schools for me.
56. How did the author feel when he started to read the letter?
A. He was lost in his dream.
B. He was full of joy.
C. He was worried about the money.
D. He was uncertain which school to go to.
57. We can learn from the passage that the parents were _________.
A. honest
B. supportive
C. strict
D. decisive
58. In Paragraph 5, “offered me a full ride”can be replaced by “_______”.
A. would charge me nothing for tuition
B. would pay for transport to the school
C. would show me around the campus
D. would offer free meals at all events
59. What does the author mainly want to say?
A. You should consider comfort in your choice of schools.
B. You should try your best to attend your dream school.
C. Your second-choice college may actually by your best fit.
D. Your choice of schools should be based on their fame.
B
I fell in love with England because it was quaint (古雅)—all those little houses, looking terribly old-fashioned but nice, like dolls’ houses. I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved London. I’ve slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it’s an ugly town now.
Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentlemen, fair play, and good man-ners. The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good man-ners—people shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing.
I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. You’re forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. T o meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice.
As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb on taxis because I will not take public trans port after 10 p. m. I used to use it, but now I’m afraid.
The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and that’s typically French. In Middlesex I had a neighbour who is 82 now. His family
only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone.
60. T he writer doesn’t like London because she ______.
A. has lived there for seventeen years
B. prefers to live in an old-fashioned house
C. is not used to the life there now
D. has to be polite to everyone she meets there
61. Where do people usually meet their friends in England?
A. In a pub.
B. In a cafe.
C. In a restaurant.
D. In a nightclub.
62. The writer took her neighbour to France for Christmas because he ______.
A. had never been to France
B. was from a typical French family
C. didn't like the British idea of family
D. felt lonely in England
C
Since many of you are planning to study at a college or university in this country, you may be curious to know what you usually do in a typical week, how you can get along with y our fellow students, and so on. These are the questions I want to discuss with you today.
First, let’s talk about what your weekly schedule will look like. No matter what your major may be, you can expect to spend between four and six hours a week for each class attending lectures. Lectures are usually in very large rooms because some courses such as introduction to sociology or economics often have as many as two or three hundred students, especially at large universities. In lectures, it’s very important for you to take notes on what the professor says because the information a lecture is often different from the information in your textbooks. Also, you can expect to have exam questions based on the lectures. So it isn’t enough to just read your textbooks; you have to attend lectures as well. In a typical week you will also have a couple of hours of discussion for every class you take. The discussion section is a small group meeting usually with fewer than thirty students where you can ask questions about the lectures, the reading, and the homework. In large universities, graduate students, called teaching assistants, usually direct discussion sections.
If your major is chemistry, or physics, or another science, you’ll also have to spend several hours a week in the lab, or laboratory, doing experiments. This means that science majors spend more time in the classroom than non science majors do. On the other hand, people who major in subjects like literature or history usually have to read and write more than science majors do.
63. The main purpose of this text is .
A. to persuade the students to attend lectures
B. to encourage the students to take part in discussions
C. to advise the students to choose proper majors
D. to help the students to learn about university life.
64. We can learn from the passage that university professors .
A. spend about 5 hours on lectures each week
B. must join the students in the discussion sections
C. require the students to read beyond the textbooks
D. prefer to use textbooks in their lectures
65.A discussion section does NOT include .
A. talking over what the students have read about the courses
B. working under the guidance of university professors
C. discussing the problems related to the students’ homewor k
D. raising questions about what a professor has said in a lecture
66. According to the author, science majors .
A. read and write less than non science majors
B. have to work harder than non science majors
C. spend less time on their studies than non science majors
D. consider experiments more important than discussions
D
67．According to this advertisement ,at the Forum people _________.
A．come together in order to form an organization
B．eat together to celebrate their success or victory
C．work together for the purpose of business or trade

We started offering programs in Sarasota in February in 1991 and our first Forum was held in 1992 as a small group meeting .Being from the Northern USA,this was a particularly good time to go south for the warmth of our friendships with DR. Treffinger and Dr .Noller and to keep away from the cold winter.
68．If you register both the VIEW qualification course and the Forum at the same time ,you will save .
A．$100 B．$350 D．$400 D．$300
69．“Space is limited ,so early registration is welcome” means.
A．you’ll lose the good chance if you don’t register soon
B．space is limited ,so you can’t register now
C．space is too limited for you to register
D．you’ll be given a special offer if you register now

银川一中高一期末考试语文试卷 班级＿＿＿姓名＿＿＿学号＿＿ 一、现代文阅读 阅读下面的文字，完成1～3题。（9分，每小题3分） 茶文化源远流长。据传茶的发现约于公元前2700多年的神农时代。最早祖先们利用的是野生茶树，人工栽培约在3000多年前，巴蜀地区是中国茶树的起源地之一。东晋史书《华阳国志·巴志》记载，周武王伐纣时，巴蜀一带已用当地所产茶叶作贡品，说明当时茶叶生产已有一定规模。而后茶的栽培从巴蜀地区南下云贵，东移楚湘，转粤赣闽，入江浙，北移淮河流域，形成广阔的产茶区。 原始社会人类在对植物的长期食用中发现茶树叶有解渴、提神和治疗某些疾病的作用，就把它熬煮成茶水作饮料。长期以来，茶只是用来治病，大约到西周初期，茶叶才发展为茶食，即“生煮羹饭”，后又成为祭品，最终从煮水清饮改进到泡饮。 秦以前，各地语言文字不统一，茶的名称众说纷纭。商周时茶叶首次有了名字，叫“荼”，因其苦涩，又叫“苦荼”。据唐代陆羽《茶经》载，唐以前，茶有“荼”、“贾”等名，自《茶经》问世后，正式将“荼”字减去一横，称之为“茶”。 春秋战国时期，茶叶已传至黄河中下游地区。清代顾炎武在《日知录》中说：“自秦人取蜀而后，始有茗饮之事。”到了汉代，茶的保健作用日益受到重视。西汉王褒在《僮约》中提到“武阳买荼”，说明当时已有了专卖茶叶的茶叶市场。魏晋南北朝时期，饮茶的风气传播到长江中下游，茶叶已成为待客、宴会、祭礼的饮料。南齐武帝临终遗诏说：“灵座上慎勿以牲为祭，惟设饼、茶饮、干饭、酒脯而已。天下贵贱，咸同此制。”从此茶叶成为祭祀时必备的祭品。 唐代中期，饮茶之风盛行全国。各地制茶技术日益提高，出现很多名茶。有关茶的诗歌众多，据统计，李白、杜甫等100多人写了400多篇涉及茶事的诗歌，唐代还首次出现描绘饮茶场面的绘画。宋代，茶成为普及的饮料，特别是上层社会嗜茶成风。制茶的技术达到了精巧奢华的地步，如龙凤团饼茶的制作技术就非常复杂，有蒸茶、榨茶、研茶、造茶、过黄、烘茶等工序。1391年，明太祖下诏“罢造龙团，惟采茶牙以进”。皇室提倡饮用散茶，民间蔚然成风，并将煎煮法改为冲泡法，这是饮茶方法史上的一次革命。明代茶的加工炒制方法和品饮都有了创新，出现了炒青技术和功夫茶艺，从而推动了名茶发展和许多茶类的创新。 茶自发现以后，通过各种渠道传向国外。目前世界上50多个产茶国的茶种、饮茶风尚都来自中国。中国茶叶约在汉代就传入日本，唐代又有大批日本僧人来华，回国时带回茶种。中国茶叶传入欧洲是在1607年。东印度公司成立的第二年，荷兰船首次将茶由澳门转运到爪哇。1669年，英国印度公司把14万磅茶叶运到英国，当时只在伦敦咖啡馆中供应少量中国茶。17世纪初明神宗万历年间，中国大使将少量茶叶运入俄国，大量输入是在1689年签订《尼布楚条约》后，1893年，俄国聘请中国茶工发展茶叶生产。此后中国茶叶又从欧洲和中国传入了东南亚各国。 1. 下列选项与原文意思不相符的一项是（） A. 西周时，作为中国茶树的起源地之一的巴蜀地区的茶叶生产已有一定规模，所产茶叶已作为贡品。 B. 西周初年，茶叶的功用由治病发展为泡饮，其间经历茶食、煮水清饮和祭品三个发展阶段。 C. 西汉时已有了专卖茶叶的茶叶市场，茶的保健作用日益受到重视。 D. 魏晋南北朝时，饮茶的风气已传至长江中下游，茶叶成为祭祀时必备的祭品。 2. 中国茶“通过各种渠道传向国外”，对“各种渠道”表述正确的一项是（）
