ADave Bruno works as an online marketing manager.Several years ago，one weekend Bruno and his family did a major house clean-up and then donated several bags of unneeded items to the local Goodwill store.“After all were done，I looked around and realized that I still had too much stuff，”says Bruno，“It occurred to me that maybe I wanted to lead a simple life but in reality I behaved differently.”That realization prompted the 39-year-old father of three to try an experiment“The 100 Things Challenge”．With the goal of breaking free of what he calls a “bad habit of consumerism”，Bruno was determined to live for one year with just 100 personal items.He cut down his possessions to 94 items，including a Bible，laptop，guitar，wedding ring，car and clothes.He created some guidelines for the experiment since his wife and daughters did not participate，family-shared and household items did not count as personal items.He also grouped together some basic things such as underwear and socks.Bruno began blogging about his new lifestyle and eventually wrote a book，The 100 Things Challenge：How I Got Rid of Almost Everything，Remade My Life，and Regained My Soul.Since completing the experiment，Bruno has continued to live by the motto：reduce，refuse，and rearrange and maintains just 100 personal things.“Nearly three years of living with a minimal amount of personal possessions，I’m no longer in the habit of consuming for the sake of consumption(消费)，”he wrote in his blog last week，“That has freed me up for all sorts of better endeavors than shopping—like spending time with family and writing a book and planning for business opportunities.”Bruno’s project has also inspired others to live minimally，many of whom post their own 100 Things Challenge updates on YouTube.“The reality is that the 100 Things Challenge is surprisingly easy，”says Bruno，“I’m not saying there were no challenges or disappointments.I miss some things，but not that much.Frankly，it’s far easier to live with less stuff than with excessive trash.”1．What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 1?A．Bruno regretted to have an easy life.B．Bruno had a special behavior in reality.C．Bruno and his family led a happy life.D．Bruno would have liked a life with fewer items.答案 D解析句意猜测题。

Some years ago when I was in my first year in college, I heard Salome Bey sing for the first time. The moment was exciting. Salome’ s 1 filled the room and brought the theater to life. I was so moved that I decided to write an article about her.I 2 Salome Bey, telling her I was from Essence magazine, and that I wanted to meet her to talk about her career. She agreed and told me to come to her studio next Tuesday. When I hung up, I was scared out of my mind. I 3 I was lying. I was not a writer at all and hadn’t even written a grocery list.I interviewed Salome Bey the next Tuesday. I sat there 4 , taking notes and asking questions that all began with, “Can you tell me…” I soon realized that 5 Salome Bey was one thing, but writing a story for a national magazine was just impossible. The 6 was almost unbearable. I struggled for days with draft after draft. Finally I put my manuscript (手稿) into a large envelope and dropped it into a mailbox.It didn’t take long. My manuscript 7 . How stupid of me! I thought. How could I compete in a world of professional writers? Knowing I couldn’t 8 the rejection letter, I threw the unopened envelope into a drawer.Five years later, I was moving to California. While 9 my apartment, I came across the unopened envelope. This time I opened it and read the editor’s letter in 10 : Dear Ms Profit,Your story on Salome Bey is fantastic. Yet we need some 11 materials. Please add those and return the article immediately. We would like to 12 your story soon.Shocked, it took me a long time to 13 . Fear of rejection cost me dearly. I lost at least five hundred dollars and having my article appear in a major magazine.

考前题组集训7Test 1Ⅰ.阅读理解ASince the end of World War Ⅰ(WWⅠ) in 1918，Canadians，and millions of others around the world have paused at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month to honour the sacrifices our soldiers have made in different wars，fighting for the freedoms that we all enjoy today.Known as Remembrance Day，the day originated as a tribute to the soldiers of WWⅠ，a dark period for our young country，which claimed the lives of over 60,000 military personnel and civilians and over 16 million dead worldwide.As there are no more surviving soldiers of WWⅠ，today we rely on the wisdom and words of those soldiers who fought in the wars that followed，and this day now also recognizes their heroic contribution.They tell us to always remember what those brave souls fought for，and all they ask in return is that we never forget.That’s why we wear the red poppy(罂粟花)；that’s why when we see a soldier in uniform we should stop him or her and say “Thank you”；that’s why we take a pause from our busy lives for two short minutes today to honor that request.Yet this message is fading away，year after year.Take for example the terrible decision to allow parents to excuse students from Remembrance Day ceremonies at school.Not only is this disrespectful，it distances the student from his or her classmates.It is difficult to understand why any Canadian parent would want to remove their child from the time-honored tradition of reading the poem In Flanders Fields，while a wreath of poppies is laid. It is more important than ever to teach school-aged children about our history，no matter how violent it was.Sheltering them from the realities of war is a great disservice.Understanding why conflicts happened，or happen today，can help shape choices and decisions they make as adults.Of course，because we live in a free society，we cannot force an individual to do something.It is unfortunate，but some parents now have their child “opt-out”of the services.These people should be reminded they are free to make such choices only because of the men and women the rest of us are remembering.1．Which of the following is TRUE about Remembrance Day?A．It’s only held in Canada.B．Its ceremony lasts 11 hours.C．It falls on November 11th each year.D．It’s to celebrate the country’s independence.答案 C解析细节理解题。

考前题组集训12Test 1Ⅰ.阅读理解ASix years ago，I walked into a local animal shelter on a cold，rainy day.Although my house was already full of cats and dogs，I still couldn’t resist an occasional visit to the shelter.This time as I was walking down the row of pens full of barking dogs I noticed a small boy looking into one of them.He had a malnourished(营养不良的) looking body and a bony face with a big nose sticking out of the middle of it.He was looking at a small，golden dog.Its bony ribs were showing and its thin tail was folded between its legs.It wasn’t begging for attention like the other puppies but was hiding in the corner instead.The boy looked up at me with sad eyes and asked what was wrong with it.“It was probably abused and abandoned，” I said.“That is why it is so scared.”The boy immediately turned to an older lady and said，“Grandma，I want this one.”The old woman smiled and walked to the front desk to fill out the adoption forms.I followed and asked about the boy.I found out that he’d had a rough start in life too.She had just gotten custody(监护权) of him after the state had taken him from his parents.She had hoped getting a dog would make it easier on him.I looked back at him，holding his scared puppy，and said a prayer for them both. It was yesterday.I was driving down the road enjoying a gloriously sunny，spring day.Then in a green front yard I saw the boy.His teenage body was tall and strong.His nose no longer seemed big but fit well into his smiling face.He was throwing a ball to a healthy，happy dog with shining golden hair.His little act of love and kindness had indeed gone a long way.It had saved a dog’s life，healed his own heart，and given this middle-aged man fresh hope for us all.1．The author entered the animal shelter because .A．he loves dogs and petsB．it was too cold outsideC．he wanted to buy a dogD．he wanted to see the boy答案 A解析细节理解题。

ATeary Joe was a boy with a special ability：he could make himself cry in less than a second.If he disliked something，or things became difficult，Teary Joe would not hesitate to put on a pitiful face and set great big tears running down his cheeks.In this way he managed to get practically everything he wanted，because no one could resist the pity inspired by his tearful little face.But one day，Teary Joe met Pipo.Pipo was asking people in the street for some change，in return for him helping them in any way he could.Pipo was very poor；he had no home and no family，so he made a living however he could.Even so，Pipo always had the biggest smiles on his face.Joe took to Pipo，so he decided to help him out in making some money.He went over next to Pipo，took off his hat，put it face-up on the ground，and started crying with the most pitiful of expressions.In a few minutes，Joe’s hat was full of coins and sweets，but when Joe offered all this to Pipo，Pipo declined.“I prefer deserving what I receive，” answered Pipo with his usual smile，“It’s much more fun making an effort to get things.Maybe I haven’t gotten everything I’ve wanted，but I’ve done a load of interesting things.” Teary Joe didn’t answer；he just walked sadly away.Joe had got everything he wanted，but he’d done practically nothing of interest the whole day.That evening，having returned home，Joe requested a delicious cake for his supper.When his mother said no，Joe tried to cry but，remembering Pipo and how joyful he was，he tried to get the cake in some other way.Joe spent the whole evening helping his mother to water the plants and organize the library books.In the end there was no cake.But that wasn’t so bad，because Joe discovered it had been much more fun doing all those things that evening rather than just sitting crying to get a piece of cake that，in the end，wouldn’t have been worth it.1．According to the passage，Teary Joe .A．relied on others’ sympathy beforeB．was joyful in his lifeC．hated working hardD．was a naughty boy答案 A解析细节理解题。

AWe live in central Phoenix，near the canal.Every day I used to see a homeless old man and his scruffy little dog hanging out down there.I would tell my husband we should give him food for the little dog.It wouldn’t have been a problem；we have our own “mini farm” of animals！But he would say“OK！”and then blow the idea off because of our business.Being in Phoenix，Arizona，you can just imagine how hot it gets here，but his winter was really chilly！I had just come from KFC with takeout food for dinner.As I was turning by the canal，the man and his dog were sitting right there all bundled up.Even the doggy had a coat on！Not even thinking about it，I pulled into the parking lot along the canal and piled up a plate of chicken with all the fixings for the man and his little buddy.I gave it to him with a soda and a bottle of water for the little dog.He said，“Thank you，sweetie.You are an angel.”And there were tears welling up in his eyes！I told him he was so welcome，and then went home.When my husband dug into the KFC bag he asked，“Were you hungry，or what？”I told him what I did and he said，“Only you！”Then he told me I had done a good thing.A few weeks later，we were walking along the canal and found the man walking to me，with his little dog.He asked whether I would mind adopting the dog.With tears in eyes，he said it had gotten too hard for him to care for the dog.He added that he was planning on heading to Washington State but his dog wouldn’t have been up to it，so he hoped to give it to me.“Only you！In this city，you are the only person I can believe in！”Now，every time I watch and pat the puppy lying near the fireplace，I will recall the old man’s words and wish him good luck.1．The author and her husband didn’t help the old man at the beginning because .

AOur neighbour’s son was getting married at an out-of-town church，and my husband and I were invited.We immediately rushed out to a store，and I bought a nice pink dress with a jacket.The dress was a little tight，but I had a month to go before the June 30 wedding and I would lose a few pounds.June 29 came and，of course，I hadn’t lost a single pound；in fact I had gained two.But I figured a nice new girdle(紧身内衣) would cure everything.So on our way out of the city we stopped once again at the store.I ran in and told the clerk I needed a large-size girdle.The shop assistant found the box with the described girdle marked“LG”，and asked if I would like to try it on.“Oh，no，a large one will fit just right.I needn’t try it on.”The next morning was rather hot，so I waited to get dressed until about 45 minutes before time to go.I opened the box only to find a new girdle in a small size.Since it was too late to find another one and the dress wouldn’t fit right without a girdle，a fight broke out in the hotel room between me and the girdle.Have you ever tried to shake 20 pounds of potatoes into a five-pound bag？That’s it.Finally my husband，laughing like crazy，got hold of each side and shook me down into it.At once I put on the pink dress，which didn’t match my red face well，and was ready to go. Finally we got to the church.I heard one of the people say that they were having a High Mass.I turned to my husband and asked，“What is a High Mass？”He shrugged his shoulders. Unfortunately，I learned that this particular mass would last one hour，twenty-two minutes and eight and one half seconds—the priest(神父) was going to bless everything except my girdle. 1．The author most probably bought a nice pink dress with a jacket .A．4 weeks later B．4 weeks earlierC．a fortnight earlier D．a fortnight later答案 B解析细节理解题。

高中英语真题:2015高考英语阅读理解、书面表达四月自练（3）阅读理解。

(原创)“Did you come alone or with your parents? ”When Tsinghu a University’s new 2013 freshmen arrived on campus late last month, the first question they were faced with at the registrati on desk was the above. According to statistics, we know that more than half of the 539 students came alone. Chen Jining, president of , encouraged them to“start this new adventure by standing on your own two feet”. To help freshmen grow up, some universities have thought of new methods. At Tsinghua, for example, freshmen need to re gister and find their dormitory by themselves. The process req uires two to three hours, during which volunteers take parents on a tour of the campus. At , a banner hanging in the inform ation center says“Parents let go please; let us guide your children. ”“Often parents like to do things or make d ecisions for their children. In their eyes, children never grow u p, ”said Lu Guodong, dean(系主任)of undergraduate studies at Zhejiang University. “But at university, growing up is the goal for all students. Growing up is t he biggest success. In , students grow up too slowly as parent s are always in charge. Students never think about what path they should take and why, ”he said.Zhang Yanxue, a senior student studying Chinese language a nd literature at the Communication University of China, is pres ident of the Self-improvement Society. Although most students can finish the r egistration process by themselves, their parents usually prefer accompanying them to the university. “This is the third time I’ve welcomed freshmen and I didn’t see much change in that r egard, ”Zhang said. “The number of students who came alone is the same as in previous years. ”Sometimes, however, the distance between university and ho me is so great that many parents are too worried to let their c hildren travel alone. To reassure parents, Renmin University o f China introduced a new method. It asks senior students to re turn to their hometown and accompany freshmen back to the campus. This helps freshmen get used to living independently .“St udents should have an independent character and a dream . Learning how to use that independent character to achieve t heir dreams and finish tasks assigned by the country is very important, ”said President Chen.【文章大意】9月第一周, 各大高校已陆续进入开学季。
