A(2022·山东青岛高三联考) I work in a nursing home and my job is to take care of the elderly.This year, a very sweet old lady that I cared for, Alice, had gone through a difficult time.She got dementia_and so she had been in the hospital twice.In November I was finally able to get her back to her “home”．Alice had thought her daughter was coming to visit her on Christmas Day and that they were going to have the whole family together like the old days.When she finally realized that that happy moment was not going to happen, she was very sad.Knowing that her daughter was coming after Christmas was not enough to make her feel happy.I hated the idea of her being alone on the holiday!On Christmas Eve, I gave her a surprise by asking if she would like to go to a candlelight service at church that night.Instead of taking her to my church, I took her to her old neighborhood church where all her friends were.We got there early and I got her a seat where her friends could see her as they came in.Then soon some of her friends came to the church and they rushed over to greet her and sit with her.The candlelight service was beautiful and Alice got a lot of love from her old and new friends there.The truth of the story is that I am the one who got the best gift: the smile on Alice’s face.【解题导语】老人的女儿不能回来陪老人一起过圣诞节，作者便在平安夜带老人去有老人生疏的伴侣的老社区教堂，在那里，作者看到了老人脸上幸福的笑容，这也是作者得到的最好的礼物。

For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Questions 1 to 10 are based on the following passage.Ending School ViolenceSince the tragedy at Columbine High School last spring, schools have been rushing to add new security measures. Will these work?Or are other changes needed to protect students?The bullet holes placed in the walls have been covered over. The halls have been repainted. Bloody carpet has been replaced. But for many students at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, no amount of redecoration can wipe away the bitter memory of the shooting that took 15 lives there on April 20, 1999.School shootings from Mississippi to Oregon have left many students feeling afraid for their safety in school. Littleton was not the first such tragedy. But it was the most violent in recent years. According to Ronald Stephens, president of the National School Safety Council, "Littleton changed the landscape," on school safety issues.Since April, politicians, school administrators, parents, and students have been searching for answers about how to prevent tragedies like Littleton from happening again.How Violent Are Schools?Although the stories from Littleton and other schools have been horrifying, crime in schools is actually declining. In 1993, there were 164 crimes for every 1,000 students ages 12 to 18. In 1996, the number had dropped to 128 per 1,000. Furthermore, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP), less than one percent of all murders among schoolchildren ages 5-19 happen in or around school grounds or on the way to or from school. Still, many experts believe that is not good enough. The CDCP study warns that "the occurrence of youth violence and school violence is still unacceptably high."Stronger SecurityWhat are schools doing to reduce violence? "We've been in numerous meetings with school counselors, police, and other principals to develop a plan to meet the needs of our schools," Bert Ammerman, a high school principal in New Jersey, said.He's not alone. At Williams Bay High School in Wisconsin, the police held practice school-shooting drills over the summer.In Coweta County, Georgia, students must carry books insee-through bags so that they can't hide guns.Other schools are adopting strict dress codes and requiring that backpacks be checked often. Some schools are setting up hot lines or are encouraging students to tell a teacher if a classmate threatens to hurt himself or herself or others. "Our kids are still our best eyes and ears," said Ammerman.Sometimes, school security measures conflict with personal rights. Debra Jacobs of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) said the organization has been "flooded" by calls from parents and students who complain that schools have been violating student First Amendment rights to free expression. For instance, a high school student in Marble Hill, Missouri, was failed for a whole semester because he posted a Web site on his home computer that was critical of his high school. "Banning all expression will make it difficult to identify kids who really need help," Jacobs said.Helping Troubled TeensMany experts say that adding more security measures is not enough. Ronald Stephens of the National School Safety Council said that one good way to stop crime is to help kids before trouble starts. "Teachers need to look for early warning signs and provide counseling and support for kids who are at risk."One example is helping programs that pair a troubled teen with a caring grown-up. Such programs have been shown to reduce the risk that troubled students will become criminals. Programs that give young people a place to hang out after school have helped to reduce crime, because most criminal acts by young people take place between 3:00 and 8:00 p.m.Many schools are putting programs in place to protect children from bigger, stronger kids. According to experts, children who are pushed around and intimidated by other children, and those who do the intimidating, are at higher risk for emotional problems. Columbine High School, which has had problems with this in the past, is adding a program to prevent intimidating behavior. Frank DeAngelis, the school's principal, said, "At Columbine High School, we will have zero tolerance for cruelty, discrimination, violence, and intimidation."Society's ResponsibilityMany experts believe that the shootings at Columbine and other schools are not just a school problem. They say that problems inAmerican society also play a role. Some experts say there is too much violence in the media, including movies, music, and TV. The American Academy of Young People's Health has urged a limit to the amount of TV kids watch because it is too violent.President and Mrs. Clinton recently made a series of public service announcements for television. In one ad, the President tells parents: "Our children need our help to deal with tough issues like violence. Please talk to your kids. Help them understand." President Clinton also announced $15 million in grants to schools and organizations that fight school-related crimes.Not everyone agrees that media violence is a major cause of violence by kids. "Many young people view violent movies and video games, but most of them do not shoot up their schools as a result," Debra Jacobs of the ACLU said. Sociologist Bonnie Berry agrees. "I think the problem is guns," she said. "A lot of people are saying that young people today are more set apart than they were. I don't think so. But they do have access to lots of guns, and to dangerous guns."The statistics paint a sad picture. Nearly 90 percent of murders of people ages 15 to 24 are caused by guns. In June, a bill was proposed in Congress to limit selling guns at gun shows. The measure failed to pass.Bob Levy of the conservative Cato Institute said that he doesn't believe we need new gun laws. "We have all the laws we need, but we don't enforce them," he said. Education Secretary Richard Riley said, "This country has really created a culture of violence in which it is very easy to have access to guns. Americans really do need to stop and think about what is happening."Inexcusable BehaviorMany experts say that no matter what provoked the Littleton shooters, the killing of young people is inexcusable. Bert Ammerman said, "You don't shoot people because your parents are divorced, or you're intimidated, or your girlfriend broke up with you. It's unacceptable!"Students Take ActionStudents are taking action to stop school violence.Ms. Heather Beck's sociology classes in Lakewood, Colorado, havestarted a campaign to collect "I will" pledges from students around the country. Students who sign the pledge promise, among other things, to "be part of the solution" and to "do my part to make my community a safe place by being more sensitive to others."After the Columbine killings, kids in Colorado started an organization called Sane Alternatives to the Gun Epidemic in Colorado, which lobbies for stronger gun-control laws. They are trying to expand their organization across the US As Ben Gelt, 18, one of organization's founders, told the Denver Post, "I believe that if students can organize, they can bring about change."1.In the first paragraph, the author is asking________________.A. whether students will work with new securityB. whether tragedies will happen at a high schoolC. whether new security measures will be effectiveD. whether schools will change so they can protect students2.The Littleton tragedy was ________________.A. the first such tragedyB. the most violentC. the most recentD. the one with the most issues3.What is Principal Bert Ammerman doing to reduce violence?________________A.

It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual circumstances of the time and the individual child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or arousing his sadistic (施虐狂的) impulses. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not. As to fear, I think, we also need well-documented cases of children being dangerously terrified (恐惧) by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches (女巫),two-headed dragons, magic carpets (魔毯), etc., do not exist; and that, instead of indulging (沉溺) his fantasies in fairy tales, the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics. I find such people, I must confess, so unsympathetic and peculiar that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a broomstick (女巫乘骑的扫帚柄) or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their enchanted (中魔法的) girl-friend.No fairy story ever claimed to be a description of the external world and no sane (精神健全的) child has ever believed that it was.1.The author considers that a fairy story is more effective whenit is _______.A. repeated without variationB. treated with respectC. adapted by the parentD. set in the present2.Some people dislike fairy stories because they feel that they________.A. tempt people to be cruel to childrenB. show the primitive cruelty in childrenC. lend themselves to undesirable experiments with childrenD. increase a tendency to have sadistic impulses in children3.According to the passage great fear can be stimulated in achild when the story is ________.A. set in realityB. heard for the first timeC. repeated too oftenD. dramatically told4.The author's mention of broomsticks and telephones is meantto suggest that ________.A. fairy stories are still being made upB. there is confusion about different kinds of truthC. people try to modernize old fairy storiesD. there is more concern for children's fears nowadays5.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to thepassage?A. Fairy stories are anything but beneficial to the growth ofchildren.B. Fairy stories teach children the way to adapt to the society.C. No fairy story should be taken as the true description of thereality.D. No fairy story should be told to the children withoutmodification.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage. Standing alone at the Browns' party, Anna Mackintosh thought about her husband Edward, establishing him clearly in her mind's eye. He was a thin man, forty-one years of age, with fair hair that was often untidy. In the seventeen years they'd been married he had changed very little; he was still nervous with other people, andsmiled in the same embarrassed way, and his face was still almost boyish.She believed she had failed him because he had wished for children and she had not been able to supply any. She had, over the years, become neurotic (神经机能病的) about this fact and in the end, quite some time ago now, she had consulted a psychiatrist (精神病学家), Dr. Abbat, at Edward's pleading (恳求).In the Browns' rich drawing room, its walls and ceiling gleaming (发微光) with a metallic (金属般的) surface of imitation gold, Anna listened to dance music coming from a tape recorder and continued to think about her husband.In a moment he would be at the party, since they had agreed to meet there, although by now it was three-quarters of an hour later than the time he had promised.The Browns were people he knew in a business way, and he had said he thought it wise that he and Anna should attend this gathering of theirs. She had never met them before, which made it more difficult for her, having to wait about, not knowing a soul in the room.When she thought about it she felt hard done by, for although Edward was kind to her and always had been, it was far from considerate to be as late as this. Because of her nervous condition she felt afraid and had developed a sickness in her stomach. She looked at her watch and sighed.6.Why did Anna feel awkward at the party?A. She came to the party too early.B. She was neglected by the host.C. She felt uncomfortable with the atmosphere of the party.D. She didn't know anyone there.7.What made Anna feel inadequate?A. She did not make a good mother to her children.B. She was unable to satisfy her husband's desire to have children.C. She did not get along well with her husband.D. She was unable to have a better understanding of herhusband.8.As time went by, Anna started to get angry as ________.A. she found the Browns were much wealthier than they wereB. her husband was usually more thoughtfulC. she noticed that no one was willing to talk to herD. her husband was bad-mannered in the party9.According to the passage, Edward wanted Anna to attend theparty because ________.A. he wanted her to have more of a social lifeB. he tried to distract her from some unpleasant thoughtsC. he needed her supportD. he thought she would impress the Browns10.What kind of woman Anna was according to the passage?A. Sensitive and worried.B. Open and talkative.C. Imaginative and cheerful.D. Sensible and easygoing.CDBBCD B B C A。
