B
On my first day of high school，going into math class，I was pointed and laughed at by two of my classmates．I initially thought my fly was open，or that something was stuck in my teeth．But as I took my seat，I heard one student whisper，"Why is a black boy taking Honors？" So，my fly wasn't open．An honors level class had simply been taken by a student whose skin was brown．
Many people think my clothes should be big enough for me to live in，or expect me to listen to only "black music．" In seventh grade，a group of my classmates fixed their cold stares on my clothes．They called out to me，"Go get your gangsta clothes．" In one of my Spanish classes，the teacher asked me，"Do you like rap music or rock music more？" I replied，"Rock．" The look of shock on my classmates' faces made me uncomfortable．
Now I still take all Honors courses．I still wear clothes that fit me．My music library covers from rock to pop to techno，and almost everything in between．When it comes to choosing my friends，I am still colorblind．I continue to do my best to work in school in order to reach my goals；and yet，when I look in the mirror，I still see skin of that same brown．
I believe in being myself．I believe that I myself should decide who I am and what actions I take in life．In high school，popularity often depends on your willingness to follow trends．And I've been told that it doesn't get much easier going into adulthood．But the only

新高考英语模拟试卷（一） 一、阅读理解（每小题2分，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。 A For the business traveler who's all about efficiency: check out these hotels that will get you in and out with a minimum trouble. When you're pressed for time on a business trip, nothing can infuriate you more than a slow hotel check-in process. On your next trip, try these hotels that offer a speedier check-in process. ◆Marriott Detroit Airport Another option for business travelers in a hurry: Marriott is rolling out its mobile check-in app to 325 hotels this year, including the Marriott Detroit Airport hotel. (I've tested the app itself but not for a real visit quite yet.) here is the basic idea: you download the iPhone or Android app. The night before, you can “check-in”virtually. When you arrive, you get an alert that the room is ready and your key, which is already tied to your reservation, is waiting for you at the desk. ◆Hyatt Regency Minneapolis I happened to stay at this hotel recently and liked how fast the kiosk check-in works. The kiosk asks you to insert your credit card, similar to an airport terminal. The whole process took about 3 minutes. When I left, I was equally impressed with the fast check-out: An agent meets you in the lobby with, an iPad and asks for an email to use for a receipt. The big advantage: you never have to wait in line. ◆Radisson LaCrosse The Radisson is trying to make the kiosk process even faster. At a few select hotels like the Radisson Lacrosse in Wisconsin，you use a mobile app to register and then receive a bar code by email or text. When you get to the kiosk, you can scan the bar code to get your key without any other steps required. It's super fast. You can find this new check-in system at the Radisson hotels in Salt Lake City, Seattle, and Phoenix as well. 1.What does the word ‘infuriate', in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A.annoy B.remind C.amuse D.impress

Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years? Jane Addams(1860 —1935) Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank.Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区)by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Rachel Carson(1907—1964) If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement migh t not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans. Sandra Day O’Connor(1930—present) When Sandra Day O’Connor finished thir d in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator(参议员)and, in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court. Rosa Parks(1913 —2005) On December 1,1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. “ The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Parks. 21.What is Jane Addams noted for in history?

高考英语模拟试卷（一） (选自于唐山市2012-2013学年度高三年级第一次摸底考试有改动）第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分） A Everything was put neatly into my suitcase. I’m a flight attendant. I’m so organized, my half of the closet could be a display at The Container Store. My h usband’s half of the closet? Ju st thinking about it made my head ache. I carried my suitcase downstairs. Bill was in the kitchen cooking. Looking at the messy kitchen, I shouted, “Why do you have to be so messy?” Bill looked hurt, “What?” I sighed and left for the airport. On my last flight, an elderly couple had the seats in my section. They held hands during takeoff. Later I caught them looking into each other’S eyes. Something about that look was familiar. Then I realized: it was the look Bill and I had worn in our wedding photographs. I couldn’t resist asking them about the secret of their long-lasting marriage. “Have fun together”，the man said, “and never take each other for granted.” Her words circled in my head long after we landed. Bill wasn’t perfect. But then, was I? I kept complaining about his messiness and forgot his kindness, his ability to see the bright side of every situation 一qualities that ran so much deeper, the reasons I had married him in the first place. I took out my cell phone and called Bill. “I miss you already.” I said. “I miss you too, Kim，” he said. As soon as my flights were over, I rushed home. Bill met me at the door. “I have a surprise for you.” he said and led me into the kitchen. I glanced around the room. He really had worked hard. In spite of the fingerprints on that microwave door, I could see our reflection in it: my husband and I, our smiles glowing with love for each other, just like in our wedding photos. 1.
