One day when government officials were rebuilding an office, they found a mouse holein a corner and used smoke to force the mice inside the hole to e out. A while later they indeed saw mice running out, one after another.Then, everyone thought that all the mice had escaped. But just as they were just about to start to clean up, they saw two mice squeezing out at the exit of the hole. After some endeavor, the mice finally got out. The strange thing was that after they came out of the hole, they did not run away immediately. Instead, one chased after the other near the exit of the hole. It seemed that one was trying to bite the tail of the other.Everyone was puzzled, so they stepped closer to take a look. They realized that one of the mice was blind and could not see anything, and the other one was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so he could pull the blind one with him to escape.After witnessing what happened, everyone was speechless and lost in thought. During meal time, the group of people sat down in a circle and started to chat about what happened to the two mice.One serious Rome official said: “I think the relatio nship between those two mice was that of emperor and minister.” The others thought fora while and said: “That was why!” Thus the Rome official showed his arrogance .A smart Israeli said: “I think the relationship between those two mice was husband and wi fe.” Again the others thought for a while, and all felt it made sense; so they expressed agreement. Therefore, the Israeli’s countenance (脸色,面色)showed self-satisfaction.A Chinese, who was accustomed to the firm tradition of loyalty to parents, said: “I th ink the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son.” Once again the others thought for a while, and felt this was more reasonable. So they expressed agreement yet another time. Therefore, the face of the Chinese showed professional modesty.At that moment, one pure-minded Samaritan(撒玛利亚人) who was squatted (蹲)on the ground resting his chin in his hands, bewilderedly (为难地)looked at other people, and asked: “Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship?”Suddenly, the atmosphere froze. Then the group looked back at the Samaritan and remained speechless. The Rome official, the Israeli and theChinese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in shame, and did not dare to respond.In fact, the true love is not established on benefit, friendship and loyalty or blood relationship. Instead, it is based on no relationship.31. Which of the following is the correct order to describe the story according to the passage?a. Mice came out one after another forced by smoke.b. Government officials found a mouse hole in an office.c. Two more mice came out of the hole.d. One mouse tried to bite the tail of the other one near the exit of the hole.e. Government officials were about to clean up.A.b-a-e-c-dB.b-a-c-d-eC.c-b-a-e-dD.c-a-d-b-e32. Why didn’t the two mice escape immediately?A. They didn’t know about the danger.B. One was trying to bite the tail of the other.C. They couldn’t find the right direction to run away.D. One was trying to help the other to escape together.33. What does the sentence “That was why!” mean in Para.5?A. “That was just the reason why you think the two mice were emperor andminister?”B. “That was just the reason why the two mice ran after each other?”C. “That was just the reason why one mouse helped the other to escapefrom the hole!”D. “That was just the reason why we should believe your words?”34. Why did they lower their heads in shame according to the passage?A. They did not dare to answer.B. They failed to analyze the relationship between the mice.C. They regretted driving a poor blind mouse away.D.

My marriage was in trouble, I was pregnant (怀孕的) and not particularly well and I didn’t have much money. Looking back I think I was also a bit depressed, but I had to get on with taking care of my daughter the best I could.One day I thought I would take my daughter to the park for a nice day as she liked there, and I thought it was a nice thing to do. I decided to walk because the bus was expensive, so it took us a long time to get there. When we finally got there, immediately my daughter began to cry. She was cold, she was thirsty, and she wanted to go home. To be honest, I had not prepared properly. I didn’t even have any money to buy a drink or to take the bus back home. I was so frustrated and cross with myself that my dream of a nice day failed. I started walking back home (it was nearly 2 miles), and my daughter would not stop crying. I felt so miserable and cross with(生…的气)myself and my life that I started crying too.At that point a car stopped and a gentleman offered us a lift. He took us home, and seemed really concerned-he even offered me all his change! The kindness of this stranger to a stranger like me really made me feel better. I never saw him again and I don‘t know who he is but he really helped me out that day, so I just want to say thank you.21．The writer writes the passage in order to________.A．tell us how she got through her difficult timeB．tell us what kind of life she and her daughter once livedC．tell us a journey she and her daughter had without moneyD．express her sincere thanks for the driver who once helped her22．Why did the writer go through a difficult time when her daughter was about 2 years old?

We don’t know if either story is true，but they are both interesting. The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education. In fact，he had difficulty reading and writing. When important papers came to Jackson，he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said. If he approved of a paper. he would write “all correct” on it. The problem was that he didn’t know how to spell. So what he really wrote was “ol korekt”. After a while，he shortened that term to “OK”.The second explanation is based on the place where President Van Buren was born，Kinderhook，New York. Van Bnren’s friends organized a club to help him become President They caned the clubthe Old Kinderhook Club，and anyone who supported Van Buren was called “OK”.25.The author __________.A. believes both of the storiesB. doesn’t believe a word of the storiesC is not sure whether the stories are trueD. is telling the stories just for fun26.

Josh 38 my hand as we crossed the parking lot and 39 for the famous Freedom Hall. 40 eight years old, he still felt it was okay to hold his father’s hand, and I felt grateful, knowing that this kind of moments would pass 41 .The stadium 42 nineteen-thousand-plus fans, and it definitely looked like a sellout(客满的).The expectation of seeing Mrhael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls 43 the Washington Bullets 44 our pace across the parking lot, thinking about 45 the game was going to go. The tumstile(十字转门)clicked and Josh hung on to his souvenir ticket stub (票根）like he had just won the lottery! We pushed our 46 to the upper-level seats of the “true” fans. Before we know it, the game was 47 way. During a time out, we dashed to 48 hot dog and Coke and rushed back so that we 49 miss a single part of the game. Things were going as expected until halftime. I started to talk to some friends 50 when there was a pull on my sleeve, my arm was pulled over by a 51 young Josh, and he began putting a multicolored, woven yarn bracelet(丝织手獨）around my wrist. It 52 really well, and he was really focused attentively as he carefully made a double square knot to keep it secure. On this special 53 I realized the significance of the moment.

We have become so lazy that we don’t even go shopping. We just look for something on the Internet. We order and we get the object delivered at home. We don’t even have to go to the bank as we pay online and the money transfer(转账)is made by the bank.Going shopping was one of the favorite hobbies for women all over the world, but now they choose to do other things. The application of science to entertainment has made us lazy: TV, DVD, computers, MP3 players. Why do we go out when we have everything at home? Why do we spend time cooking when we have the sandwich-maker which gets us out of every trouble? Why do we bother washing and ironing when we have the dry-cleaning at the corner of the street and it does everything for us? Why do we do the house-cleaning when there are persons who earn a living from this?There is a solution for everything, but to have all these you need money, money earned by hard work. So far, technology hasn’t solved this problem. Comfort and stability are to be contained only with great efforts and many sleepless nights. To get the best products you have to work a lot, because high quality means a great deal of money.When you see how many things you can buy so that you make your existence easier, you don’t care you have to work ten hours a day or you don’t have a free weekend. You make all these efforts because you know you’ll later be rewarded. Therefore, in this aspect we haven’t become lazy; I could say that we are still quite hard-working.28．In the author’s eyes, the price of the advances in technology is ______.A．robbing us of too much moneyB．causing the decline of our healthC．making us lazier than everD．driving us more crazy about entertainment29．The main idea of the second paragraph is ______.A．going shopping was the favorite hobby for women all over the worldB．the application of science to entertainment has made people lazyC．new electric products have made us have more time for entertainmentD．new technologies are changing our lives from shopping to entertainment30．According to the passage, we can have all the following done by machines except ______.A．shopping B．playing music C．cooking D．house-cleaning31．The underlined phrase “this problem” in the 3rd paragra ph refers to ______.A．earning money through hard work B．working with great effortsC．working with sleepless nights D．having to promote qualityDIn Asia, there are special competitions where kites have complex designs and are fitted with instruments that make musical sounds as the wind blows through them. Although all kites have a similar structure （结构）, they are widely different in size and shape. Kite-fighting competitions are also held, in which competitions use their kites to attack and bring down their opponents’（对手）kites or cut their strings（线）.For more than 15 years, the Big Wind Kite Factory has been giving kite-making and kite flying classes for the children on an island in Hawaii. In its kite-making lessons, students can make kites in as little as 20 minutes! Children as young as four years old can learn how to fly a kite. Jonathan Socher and his wife Daphne started the kite factory in 1980. their kites are made of nylon（尼龙）.Their designs are Hawaiian themes created by Daphne. The designs are cut out of the nylon with a hot knife that seals the edges and then fastened directly onto the kite.The kite that is used to give lessons is regular diamond kite with a rainbow pattern. The difference between this kite and the ones they make during the lessons is that it is a two-string controllable kite. Big Wind employees fly the kite and for a few minutes show students how pulling on one line and then on the other controls the direction the kite goes in. Then the controls are given to the students.Jonathan insists that it is not necessary to make a huge impressive kite to have fun making and flying kites. Even the simplest structure can work, and can give hours of fun. Go on, give it a try!32. Which of the following is true according to the text?A. A hot knife is used to iron the nylon.B. Children never fly kites on their own in flying lessons.C. Kite strings must not be cut in kite-fighting competitions.D. Daphne designs kites for the Big Wind Kite Factory.33. What is different about the kite used for flying lessons?A. It has two strings.B. It is simple in designC. It has a rainbow pattern.D. It is shaped like a diamond.34.According to Jonathan ,what do you need to have fun with kites?A. A large kite. B Any type of kite.C. A complex structure.D. A kite that impresses others.35.What is mainly described in the text?A . A kite factory B. Kite-flying lessons.C .Special competitions.D .The kite-making Process.七选五Happiness is the only true measure of personal success. Making other people happy is the highest expression of success, 16With that in mind, here are some suggestions that you will immediately increase the amount of happiness in your life:173If there's any big truth about life, it's that it usually lives up to your expectations. Therefore, when you rise from bed, make your first thought: "something wonderful is going to happen today." Guess what? You're probably right.Take time to plan and prioritize(优先处理)The most common source of stress is the thought that you've got too much work to do. Rather than worry about it, pick one thing that will move you closer to your highest goal and purpose in life. Then do that first.Eat high quality food slowly.18 Even so, at least once a day try to eat something really delicious, like a small chunk of fine cheese or an imported chocolate. Focus on it, taste it, and enjoy it.Let go of your results.The big enemy of happiness is worry, which comes from focusing on events that are outside your control. Once you've taken action, there's usually nothing more you can do.19End each day with gratitude.Just before you go to bed, write down at least one wonderful thing that happened. It might be something as small as a making a child laugh or something as huge as a million dollar deal. 20A. Start each day with expectations.B. Give a gift to everyone you meet.C. Thinking about that thing makes your head hurt.D. It’s impossible to make other happy if you are not happy.E. Whatever it is, be grateful for that day because it will never come again.F. Sometimes we can’t avoid eating something quickly and running.G. Focus on the job at hand rather than some fantasy that might happen.语法填空In the early times some people learned 61 (grow) crops and raise animals for food. They were the first farmers.Since 62 (sixteen) century, the word farm has meant agricultural land. But a much older meaning of the word farm is linked 63 economics. The word farm comes from the Latin word, firma, 64 means an unchanging payment. Experts say the earliest 65 (mean) of the English word farm was a yearly payment 66 (make) as a tax or rent.Farmers know that 67 is necessary to make hay while the sun shines. Hay (干草) has to be cut and gathered 68 it is dry. So a wise farmer never delays gathering his hay when the sun is shining. Rain may soon appear.A wise person copies the farmer. He works when 69 (condition) are right. A new mother, for example, 70 (quick) learn to try to sleep when her baby is quite, even in the middle of the day. If the mother delays, she may lose her chance to sleep. So, the mother learns to make hey while the sun shines.高二英语40分钟限时训练（3）4答案完形【解析】36-55 ABADB CBDAD BDCAC CABDC试题分析：文章讲述了父亲带儿子去看NBA篮球赛，儿子给父亲戴上象征朋友的丝织手镯的故事。

高二英语短卷训练限时练第二部分阅读理解（共20小题；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）AThere was once a group of monks(和尚) who went to Australia to spread Buddhism. Everything had to be started from the beginning. After buying a plot of land, they bought bricks, construction materials and with their own hands, they started to build a temple.A young monk took charge of building the brick wall. He took great care in laying the bricks, ensuring that they were leveled. His progress was slow, due to the great care in his work, but he wasn’t bothered,. Finally, when he completed the wall, something caught his eye and made him angry. Despite the great care he took in his work, he had overlooked two bricks that were laid slanted(倾斜). Because of that, whenever visitors came to the temple, the young monk would show them around to all places, except the brick wall that he had built.One day, two elderly monks came to the temple. No matter how the young monk tried to bypass the brick wall, the old monks insisted on touring the area around that brick wall. Unwillingly, the young monk brought the elders to the brick wall.“Oh, this is such a beautiful brick wall,” one of the elderly monks said. “Sir, are you sure? Haven’t you seen the two ugly bricks that are slante d in the middle of the wall?” the young monk asked in surprise. “Yes, I have.” replied the elderly monk. “But I also saw the remaining 98 good bricks that made this a beautiful wall!”You see, most of the time, we focus on things that went wrong or didn’t live to our expectations. However, we’ve forgotten the fact that they are only two bad bricks in the wall and we should not overlook the beauty of the remaining 98 bricks.21. What lesson can we learn from the story?A. Grasp all, lose all.B. It is no use crying over spilt milk.C. Don’t miss the forest for the trees.D. No sweat, no sweet.22. Which of the following words can best describe the young monk when he built the brick wall?A. Careful and patient.B. Lazy and careless.C. Hard-working but impatient.D. Upset and worried.23. What did the elderly monk think of the wall built by the young monk?A. He thought it was not firm.B. He thought highly of it.C. He thought it was ugly.D. He thought it was slanted.BThe well-known adventurer and explorer Steve Fossett was famous for extraordinary efforts in setting world records in flying, ballooning and sailing. He set or broke over 100 records in five different sports. Many of these records still hold.Steve Fossett was born in 1944 in Jackson, Tennessee. At twelve, he climbed his first mountain, and he kept going by choosing bigger and bigger goals. During his life, Fossett climbed the highest mountain on every continent except Mount Everest.Also in 1985, he became the 270th person to swim across the English Channel. In 1991 Fossett decided to pursue the highest goals in ballooning and sailing. Steve Fossett attempted the hot-air balloon trip around the world six times. This was not easy to do. During his fourth attempt in 1998, he was almost killed during a thunderstorm off the coast of Australia. Fossett successfully made the trip in 2002. He traveled over 33,000 kilometers for over 14 days. On this fight, Fosstt set other records including a speed record of 322 kilometers per hour.Many of Steve Fossett’s most extraordinary adventures were as a pilot. In 2005, he became the first person to fly a plane alone around the world without stopping for fuel. In 2006, Fossett and another pilot set an altitude record for flying a glider(滑翔机), a plane with no engine. They flew the glider into the Earth’s stratosphere(平流层) at a height of over 15,000 meters.Steve Fossett once said that he did not like risks. He knew this might sound strange considering his activities. But he said what he tried to do was reduce risk with careful planning, technological development and the help of the best scientists and other experts.Yet, no amount of planning can prevent the possibility of risk in life. In September of 2007, during a short-distance flight, his plane disappeared. At last, in February of 2008, a judge in Chicago declared Steve Fossett legally dead. He was sixty-three years old.24. Which shows the correct order of the following events?a. Steve Fossett climbed his first mountain.b. Steve Fossett made the hot-air balloon trip around the world successfully.c. Steve Fossett became the 270th person to swim across the English Channel.d. Steve Fossett became the first person to fly a plane around the world alone without stopping forfuel.A. a, b, c, dB. a, c, b, dC. b, c, a, dD. b, d, a, c25. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Risks can be avoided with careful planning.B. One cannot avoid risks even with careful planning.C. Nobody can be successful without taking a few risks.D. Planning is very important when one makes explorations.26. Which word can best describe Steve Fossett?A. UnfortunateB. ProudC. HonestD. Brave27. What’s the best title for the pas sage?A. Steve Fossett---a Great World Recorder HolderB. World records set by Steve FossettC. 63-year-old Steve Fossett Passed AwayD. a famous adventurer---Steve FossettCTired of all the pushing in supermarkets? Fed up with waiting in endless lines to pay for what you have bought? Angry at wasting time in traffic jams only to find no parking spaces when you eventually arrive at the store? If this is you, then online shopping is the answer to your dreams of trouble-free shopping. Or is it?Online shopping brings its own challenges. Here are a few things to bear in mind when browsing (浏览) various websites. The claim made by online sites is that shopping online is a safe and secure way to make purchases. The evidence challenges this. In any case, you only have to be the victim of fraud (诈骗) once to experience all the problems that come with this form of stealing. Use only sites that have a trusted history and an excellent reputation.Another problem is the appearance of items in reality is often quite different from what you see on your computer screen. This might not be a problem if you are buying washing up powder but could be a major disappointment when that beautiful blue dress you ordered turns up in green. Also, product descriptions are sometimes simply untrue. Perhaps the wisest plan is to purchase items where design and color are not essential to customer satisfaction.Some even argue that online shopping indirectly contributes to global warming. Yes, your car can stay parked but how are online goods delivered? Often by some large vans pouring out carbon monoxide and adding to our already desperate traffic problems. You are also by now becoming increasingly irritated (使烦恼) by the fact that the delivery is late and you have wasted the leave from work you have taken to receive it!Without question, online shopping is here to stay and it has its benefits. However, perhaps it is not as wonderful as some of its supporters claim it to be.28. The author lists several questions in Para. 1 to .A. support online shoppingB. collect answers from readersC. show his dislike of going shoppingD. introduce the topic of the passage29. By what can online shoppers avoid fraud?A. Using only trusted websites.B. Choosing big websites.C. Collecting shopping evidence.D. Seeking advice from the police.30. The author agrees with the fact that ______.A. customers are never satisfied with productsB. online shopping is a safe way to make purchasesC. online shopping has nothing to do with global warmingD. delivery delay often makes online shoppers unhappy31. What is the author’s attitude towards online shopping?A. Very popular.B. A wise choice.C. Not trouble free.D. A waste of time.DIt’s that time of year when people need to lock their cars. It’s not because there are a lot of criminals running around stealing cars. Rather, it’s because of good-hearted neighbors who want to share their harvest. Especially with this year’s large crop, leaving a car unlocked in my neighborhood is an invitation for someone to fill it with zucchini（西葫芦）.My sister, Sharon, recently had a good year for tomatoes. She and her family had eaten and canned so many that they had begun to feel their skin turn slightly red. That’s when she decided it was time to share her blessings. She started calling everyone she knew. When that failed, she began asking everyone in the neighborho od, eventually finding a neighbor delighted to have the tomatoes. “Feel free to take whatever you want,” Sharon told her. Later that day, Sharon found that her garden had indeed been harvested. She felt happy that she could help someone and that the food d idn’t go to waste.A few days later, Sharon answered the door. There was the neighbor, holding a hot loaf of bread. The neighbor smiled pleasantly, “I wanted to thank you for all of the tomatoes, and I have to admit that I took a few other things and h oped you wouldn’t mind.”Sharon couldn’t think of anything else in her garden that had been worth harvesting and said so. “Oh, but you did,” the neighbor said. “You had some of the prettiest zucchini I’ve ever seen.”Sharon was confused. They hadn’t even planted any zucchini. But her neighbor insisted that there really were bright-green zucchini in her garden. Sharon felt curious and decided to go to see where the zucchini had grown. The two of them walked together into the backyard. When the neighbor pointed at the long green vegetables, Sharon smiled. “Well, actually, those are cucumbers that we never harvested, because they got too big, soft and bitter for eating.”The neighbor looked at Sharon, shock written all over her face. She gulped（哽住）a few times, and then, smiling, held out the bread, part of a batch she had shared all over the neighborhood. “I brought youa nice loaf of cucumber bread. I hope you like it.”32. Why does the author warn people in the neighborhood to lock their cars?A. They might be stolen by thieves at night.B. They might be moved away by the police.C. Their neighbors might fill them with their harvest.D. Their neighbors might throw cucumbers into them.33. How did Sharon’s friends react to the invitation to take her tomatoes?A. They did not accept her kind offer.B. They were all delighted to have the tomatoes.C. They said they would go when they were free.D. They began to tell everyone they knew about it.34. What did the neighbor do in Sha ron’s garden?A. She only harvested some tomatoes.B. She took some cucumbers mistakenly.C. She took something with Sharon’s help.D. She harvested a few zucchini by accident.35. We can infer that the neighbor’s bread would taste ________.A. soft and sweetB. hard and sourC. funny and bitterD. fragrant and delicious第二节（共5小题；每小题2分）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。

Robert Moody, 52, is an experienced police officer. Much of his work involves dealing with 16 an gang (团伙)problems in the schools of his community. Knowing that many kids often 17 trouble, he decided to do something about it. So in 1991 he began to invite small groups of kids to go fishing with him on his day 18 .Those fun trips had a(n) 19 impact. A chance encounter in proved that. One day, 20 working security at a school basketball game, Moody noticed two young guys 21 .He sensed trouble between them. 22 one of them headed toward Moody and gave him a hug.〞 I 23 you. You took me 24 when I was in fifth grade. That was one of the 25 days of my life .〞Deeply touched by the boy’s word, Moody decided to create a foundation〔基金会〕that 26 teenagers to the basics of fishing in camping programs. “As a policeman, I saw 27 there was violence, drugs were always behind it.

Following the rules-planning your next move...acting as a team member…these are all “game〞ideas that you will come across throughout your life.Think about some off the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating (合作) .Many children’s games have a practical side Children a round the world play games that prepare t hem for work they will do as grown-ups. For instance, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones. Which sharpens the hand-eye coordination 〔协调〕needed in hunting.Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition. People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who earned it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.Sports are also an event that unites people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it—some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life.41. Through playing hide-and-seek, children are expected to learn to ________.A. be a team leaderB. obey the basic rulesC. act as a grown-upD. predict possible danger42. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 most probably means that games can________.A. describe life in an exciting wayB. turn real-life experiences into a playC. make learning life skills more interestingD. change people’s views of sporting events43. According to the passage, why is winning Olympic medals so encouraging?A. It inspires people’s deep love for the country.B. It proves the exceptional skills of the winners.C. It helps the country out of natural disasters.D. It earns the winners fame and fortune.44. Iribarne’s goal of forming the foundation is to _______.A. bring fun to poor kidsB. provide soccer bal ls for childrenC. give poor kids a chance for a better lifeD. appeal to soccer players to help poor kids45．What can be inferred from the passage?A．Gamed benefit people all their lives.B．Sports can get all athletes together.C．People are advised to play games for fun.D．Sports increase a country’s competitiveness.BIn the kitchen of my mother’s houses there has always been a wooden stand 〔木架〕with a small notepad〔记事本〕and a hole for a pencil.I’m looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book I am recommending to my mother. Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil, five houses later, the current paper and pencil look the same as they always did. Surely it can’t be the same pencil? The pad is more modern, but the wooden stand is definitely the original one.“I’m just amazed you still have the s ame stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these year.〞 I say to her, walking bank into the living-room with a sheet of paper and the pencil. “You still use a pencil. Can’t you afford a pen?〞My mother replies a little sharply. “It works perfectly well. I’ve always kept the stand in the kitchen. I never knew when I might want to note down an idea, and I was always in the kitchen in these days.〞Immediately I can picture her, hair wild, blue housecoat covered in flour, a wooden spoon in one hand, the pencil in the other, her mouth moving silently. My mother smiles and says, “One day I was cooking and watching baby Pauline, and I had a brilliant thought, but the stand was empty. One of the children must have taken the paper. So I just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the back. It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem I was working on.〞This story—which happened before I was born—reminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is, as a gifted mathematician. I feel embarrassed that I complain about not having enough child-free time to work. Later, when my mother is in the bathroom, I go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboards. Sure enough, on the back of the smallest one, are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics. Those symbols have traveled unaffected through fifty years, rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard, invisible〔看不到的〕exhibits at every meal.46．Why has the author’s mother always kept the notepad and pencil in the kitchen?A．To leave messages. B．To list her everyday tasks.C．To note down maths problems. D．To write down a flash of inspiration.47. What is the author’s original opinion about the wooden stand?A. It has great value for the family.B. It needs to be replaced by a better one.C. It brings her back to her lonely childhood.D .It should be passed on to the next generation.48. The author feels embarrassed for .A. blaming her mother wrongly.B. giving her mother a lot of trouble.C. not making good use of time as her mother did.D. not making any breakthrough in h er field.49. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A .The mother is successful in her career.B. The family members like traveling.C. The author had little time to play when young.D. The marks on the breadboard have disappeared.50. In the author’s mind ,her mother is .A. strange in behavior.B. keen on her research.C. fond of collecting old things.D. careless about her appearance.CTo err is human. To blame the other guy is even more human.Common sense is not all that common.Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse?These three popular misquotes(戏谑的引语)are meant to be jokes, and yet they tell us a lot about human nature .To err, or to make mistakes, is indeed a part of being human, but it seems that most people don’t want to accept the responsibility for the problem. Perhaps it is the natural thing to do .The original quote about human nature went like this:〞 To err is human, to forgive, divine(神圣的).〞This saying mirrors an deal people should be forgiving of others’ mistakes. Instead, we tend to do the opposite –find someone else to pass the blame on to. However, taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a making of great maturity.Common sense is what we call clear thought. Having common sense means having a good general plan that will make things work well, and it also means staying with the plan. Commonsense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm, but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine．Common sense does not seem to be common for large organizations, because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of everything. People say that in a large company, “the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.〞And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art? One of the common problems with making excuses is that people, especially young people. get the idea that it’s okay not to be totally honest all the time. There is a corollary(直接推论)to that: if good excuse is “good〞 even if it isn’t honest, then where is the place of the truth?51. According to tile passage, which of following seems the most human?A.

4.1英语课后作业（时间40分钟）阅读理解Pollution’s serious effects on the environment have become more obvious in recent years. Most scientists agree that efforts are necessary to protect our environment from further harm.As we know，the construction industry consumes a large quantity of energy and resources and creates a huge amount of pollution. So green buildings are in great need.The environmental benefits of green buildings include the protection of ecosystems and biodiversity(生物多样性)，improved air and water quality，less waste flowing into streams and the protection of natural resources. Green buildings can also result in lower operating costs because they typically use less energy and fewer materials and improve indoor air quality，improving the health of people who live there.The process of building green houses includes technical and artistic planning with nature protection in mind. Building designs often reflect the surrounding environment and natural resources and use renewable building materials such as bamboo and straw. In addition，recycled resources found locally are used for green buildings，reducing the cost and air pollution associated with transporting materials long distances.Careful site selection is important to minimize(使减少到最低限度) human effects on the surrounding environment. For example，placing a structure in an area that allows it to take advantage of cool breezes(微风) and sunlight can reduce energy use and expenses. More energy and expenses are needed for larger buildings as well，so it is important to build the small ones.Green roofs are another feature of green houses that reduce energy use and costs. These roofs are partially or completely covered with plants，which helps to keep heating and cooling costs low，prevent water running off and deal with pollutants.Other features of green buildings often include energy and water protection，recycling and waste reduction. In addition，renewable energy sources such as solar power，waterpower and wind power are used for heat and electricity，which greatly reduces costs and decreases the influence on the environment.1．What can we know about green buildings?A．Producing no waste. B．Only using clean energy.C．Being made of new materials. D．Being environment friendly.2．What is a green building probably like according to the fifth paragraph?A．Large.B．Small. C．Green. D．Low.3．What is the purpose of using green roofs?A．To fit the environment. B．To keep warm.C．To collect nature water. D．To reduce costs.4．What is the text mainly about?A．Promoting energy efficiency. B．Environmental benefits.C．Green buildings. D．Ecosystems and biodiversity.完形填空“Paul must have been trying to carry his waste paper to the garbage can and dropped a few pieces.”I 1 ，picking them up. 2 later I found more pieces.No quiet sighing this time.I 3 ，“Who is throwing garbage？” No answer.Instead, I saw more bits of paper silently floating4 from upstairs.Looking up, I saw my seven­year­old son, Paul.“Stop making a mess.”“It’s not a mess.They’re5 ．”“Sorry, what did you say？”I hadn’t heard him clearly.He didn’t answer me.Paul has autism(自闭症) and 6 answers a question, especially when he’s 7 attentively on something else.He ran down the stairs.“Where are my other butterflies？” he asked, 8 around.Every time Paul 9 five or more words together, my heart says a 10 of thanks.But lately he seems to 11 that the benefits of forming complete sentences when communicating are 12 of the effort.Butterflies.Of course.I rushed to 13 them from the garbage, 14 them off and handed them to my young artist.“Want to see them 15 again？”he asked with a shy smile.“Oh yes!

4.2英语课后作业（时间40分钟）阅读理解AMark is always engaged in his work. But this time he felt that it was time for him to take part in his community，so he went to the neighborhood meeting after work.The area city councilwoman was leading a discussion about how the quality of life was on the decline.The neighborhood faced many problems.Mark looked at the charts taped to the walls.There were charts for parking problems，crime，and for problems in empty buildings.Mark read from the charts，“Police patrols cut back, illegal parking up 20%”．People were supposed to suggest solutions to the councilwoman.It was too much for Mark.“The problems are too big”，he thought.He turned to the man next to him and said, “I think this is a waste of my time.Nothing I can do would make a difference here.”As he neared the bus stop on his way home, Mark saw a woman carrying a grocery bag, and a baby. As Mark got closer, her other child, a little boy, suddenly ran into the street. The woman tried to reach for him, but as she moved, her bag shifted, and groceries started to fall out. Mark ran to take the boy’s arm and led him back to his mother. “You gotta stay with your mom，”he said.Then he picked up the stray groceries and the woman smiled in relief.“Thanks，”she said，“you’ve got great timing.”“Just being neighborly，”Mark said.As he rode home, he glanced at the walls of the bus. On one of them was “Small_acts_of_kindness_add_up.”Mark smiled and thought, “Maybe that’s a good place to start.”1．What was being discussed when Mark arrived at the neighborhood meeting？A．The high price of groceries.B．The education problem of children.C．The worsening of the quality of life.D．The housing conditions in the community.2．What’s Mark’s opinion about the community problems according to the first paragraph?A．People could solve the problems by themselves.B．He didn’t have the ability to solve such problems.C．He didn’t have enough time to solve the problems.D．People were too selfish to help others solve the problems.3．What does the underlined sentence “Small acts of kindness add up.”mean in the last paragraph?A．All small acts will add to kindness.B．Everyone should try his best to do good deeds.C．All small kind acts can make people grow up quickly.D．Everyone can play his own part to make things better.4．What can we learn from this passage?A．Mark always played an active part in community activities.B．Visual aids were used to display the seriousness of problems.C．Many people were discouraged by the problems faced by them.D．The city councilwoman was responsible for the falling of life quality.BNew research from Princeton University in New Jersey found something else special abouthow adults—in this case mothers—speak to their very young children.“We found for the first time that mothers shift their timbre，”said Elise Piazza, a postdoctoral researcher at Princeton University. Piazza added，“Timbre is best explained as the unique quality of a sound. Barry_White’s_silky_voice_sounds_different_from_Tom_Waits’_poor_one—even_if_they’re_singing_the_same_note.”Using special equipment, Piazza and other Princeton researchers found that mothers shared similar changes in timbre when speaking to babies. The researchers tried to record the sounds mothers used with their babies at home. “We chose to record mothers playing with and reading to their own babies just like they would at home，”Piazza said. She wanted the discussions to be as natural as possible.The research offers new ways to show differences between how adults speak to babies, compared to fellow adults. The research was not limited just to English speakers. Researchers listened to discussions in seven other languages: Mandarin, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Cantonese, German, and French.Piazza said the research provides more information besides what is mentioned above. For example, she said, it could include how people change their timbre when speaking to friends or managers at work; how candidates speak to voters; and how people speak to their boyfriends, girlfriends or spouses(配偶)．The Princeton research follows earlier research on baby talk. In 2014, researchers from the University of Washington and University of Connecticut looked at thousands of verbal discussions between parents and babies. They compared regular speaking voices and baby talk. Patricia K. Kuhl, a co­director of the University of Washington, said researchers found that use of baby talk led to better early language development.5．What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2?A．People can’t change their sound quality.B．Barry White has a better voice than Tom Waits.C．People’s sound quality varies from person to person.D．Their sounds appear differently with the same loudness.6．What does the research show according to Paragraph 5?A．How people communicate effectively with others.B．How people speak in different situations.C．How timbre improves in different cases.D．How people express ideas to others.7．If one more paragraph is added, it should focus on ________．A．baby talk’s developmentB．examples of baby talk’s helpC．parents’comment on the researchD．baby talk’s advantages and disadvantages8．What is the general tone of the author in the passage?A．Objective.B．Subjective.C．Doubtful. D．Critical.完形填空A few days ago, my sister Liz and I talked about Dad, and we decided to get him a little something for Father’s Day. We talked about the times when we were 1 up and how Mom and Dad used to play the “good cop, bad cop”thing on us. Dad has been a person of few words since we were 2 . He raised us more by 3 than anything else. When he spoke, though we listened, he was always mysterious and difficult to understand.

高中英语精选限时练（40min）和答案详解一、阅读理解Chinese-language teacher Xie Fang is excited that one of her former students from Indonesia has been admitted to Beijing Language and Culture University. The 19-year-old student, Alvin Rizqi Adrian, achieved his dream of studying in China with a scholarship provided by the Chinese government.Xie met the boy five years ago when she was selected to teach Chinese at Budi Utama Three Languages National School in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The school, founded in 2006 by local Chinese, teaches in three languages - Indonesian, English and Chinese. The school has more than 970 primary, middle and high students, half of whom have Chinese ancestry.Xie taught students to speak and comprehend Chinese during her year at the school. “Most Indonesian children start to learn Chinese after they enter primary school,” Xie said. “But the textbooks from Singapore seemed relatively difficult for them at that stage.” Xie modified the content of the textbooks to make it easier and more interesting for the Indonesian children to learn Chinese.One student in particular, Alvin Rizqi Adrian, impressed Xie a great deal. “At that time, he was a middle school student. He was so interested in Chinese that he worked very hard to learn and practice,” she said. Since 2004, Guangdong has sent 1, 000 Chinese teachers to more than 30 Chinese schools in 10 countries and regions.Indonesia has the largest number of Chinese teachers sent from Guangdong, who mainly work in kindergartens, schools and universities founded by overseas Chinese. They usually spend one to two years on the foreign assignment. 11 Those days in Indonesia made me feel very appreciated. The local people have respect for Chinese teachers; Xie said. She keeps in touch with her Indonesian students through the Internet. "If I had the opportunity to go to Indonesia to teach again, I would be very happy to see the children improve their Chinese,n Xie said.1．What made the Chinese-language teacher Xie Fang happy?A．She realized her dream to teach in Indonesia.B．One of her former students will graduate soon.C．She can serve overseas Chinese in 3 languages.D．Alvin Rizqi Adrian has been admitted to study in China.2．What does the underlined word “modified” in paragraph 3 refer to?A．Beautified.B．Improved.C．Invented.D．Studied.3．We can infer that Adrian is special because he is ______.A．practical B．sensitiveC．diligent D．reliable4．Which of the following can be the best title of the news report?A．Chinese Teacher Helps Indonesian Realize His DreamB．Adrian, an Indonesian, Has Achieved His Big DreamC．Chinese-language Teachers, Academic AchievementsD．Local Indonesians Show Respect for Chinese TeachersAfrica Water Week -nearly one billion people around the world have no access to drinking water, that lack of clean water association with un-proper hygiene and shortage of toilets kills 3. 3 million a year. And this is a common problem in many parts of the developing world, but its effect is not widely known, according to experts at the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting.As part of the World Water Day tradition, the center is screening films about international water issues at the Environmental Film Festival in Washington, D．C．The films describe a variety of conflicts over water.“The challenge in presenting these films,” says Peter Sawyer, project coordinator at the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, “is to share with a wider audience the urgent issues surrounding water. Our goal for this screening is to just get these issues out there,” he says. “We don't feel that they attract public attention and we think that they should because they are really important.”In Dhaka's Challenge, filmmaker Stephen Sapienza explores one of the fastest growing cities in Asia. He says one-third of the 15 million people in the Bangladeshi capital live in places where safe water is limited. Each year 400, 000 newcomers join Dhaka's urban poor. City water from Dhaka's Water and Sewer Authority (WASA) comes at a price, available only to land owners. The film records how a non-profit group helped change the law to give the same equal water rights to the urban poor.Diabalok Sing Ha, who is the group's founder, said, “A win-win situation actually occurred because Dhaka W ASA wanted their incomes and on the other hand, poor people wanted the service and they immediately see the economic advantage of getting Dhaka WASA water supply because that is cheap, so they immediately buy in.”“My story was just trying to point out that these problems are solvable on some level even if you have to start small and it's possible in the long run to save many lives,” says Sapienza.5．Which of the following is the main purpose of the films?A．To show the number of people lacking clean water.B．To let more people know the serious water problems.C．To attract people to pay attention to the world conflicts.D．To get people to have a good knowledge of water.6．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A．Ways to get cheap water.B．The film Dhaka's Challenge. C．Filmmaker Stephen Sapienza.D．A non-profit group.7．Which of the following does Diabalok Sing Ha agree with?A．Most people can't afford the water supply.B．Rich people in Dhaka will buy in at once.C．Poor people in Dhaka need the service of water.D．Dhaka W AS A will see soon the economic advantage.8．What does Sapienza intend to tell us by making the film Dhaka's Challenge?A．The problem of water can possibly be solved.B．All the people cannot get city water from WASA．C．A win-win situation is expected by every filmmaker.D．Dhaka W ASA is very popular with the local people.二、七选五Some students find themselves constantly in trouble with attention at school.___9___If you have trouble paying attention, sitting still, and are getting constantly called out by your teacher, you can still learn to follow the rules and channel your energy into becoming a better student.___10___If you have trouble paying attention and staying on task, changing yourattitude can help a lot. Try to use your imagination to make the task cooler and more fun. It might sound stupid, but pretending your schoolwork is fun can actually make it fun.Take notes. One great way to keep yourself focused on the class topics and the lesson is to take notes. Even if you'll be provided with a review, or you don't eventually need the information for the test, if you struggle to pay attention, focus on writing down the important things the teacher says.___11___Be prepared for class. You can't stay focused if you don't have all the necessary supplies ready, and you're in your seat on time. There's nothing worse for your classroom reputation than forgetting your math textbook, or having to ask for a pencil or a piece of paper that you forget to bring.Get involved in the class discussions.___12___Just raise your hand if you know the answer, and talk during discussions in class if they're going on.___13___Just like changing your attitude about enjoying your classes, making an active choice can be an important first step in actually getting better grades.A．Motivate yourself to improve your grades.B．Use your imagination and decide to like the topics.C．Taking notes can also help you improve your writing skills.D．If you're not active in class, make a change and try to answer questions.E．There are so many factors to make you unfocused, and you aren't alone!F．This will help you stay focused and you'll have something to refer to later.G．Seeing the results of your hard work, you might become more confident at work.三、完形填空(共0分)When people find out that my son Sam is a competitive mathlete, they usually ask if my husband and I are “math persons”.

The chemical similarities are so great, in fact, that the composition of other species' tears—and how they're adapted to their environments—may provide insights into better treatments for human eye disease.Previously, scientists had studied closely only the tears of a handful of mammals, including humans, dogs, horses, camels, and monkeys. In the new study, Brazilian veterinarians analyzed the tears of reptiles and birds for the first time, focusing on seven species.Tears, which are released from the tear glands, form a film over the eye that is composed of three ingredients: mucus, water, and oil. The mucus coats the eye's surface and helps to attach the film to the eye, the water is a natural saline solution(盐溶液) containing crucial proteins and minerals, and the oil prevents the eye from dryingout.Humans are the only known species to produce emotional tears; the expression “crocodile tears,” which r efers to a person's phony display of emotion, comes from the mysterious tendency of crocodiles to release tears as they eat.But tears play key roles beyond weeping, notes Lionel Sebbag at Iowa State University, who was not involved in the new research. They help with vision by lubricating and clearing the eye. They also protect the eye against infection and provide nutrition to the cornea(角膜), the eye's clear outer layer, which lacks blood vessels(血管), he says.Learning how reptiles and birds use tears may also inspire new medications for conditions such as dry eye, which occurs when the tear glands don't produce enough oil. The disease, common in cats, dogs, and people, can sometimes lead to blindness.1.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A.The source of tears.B.The composition of tears.C.The classification of tears.D.The definition of tears.2.What does the underlined word “phony” in paragraph 4 mean?A.Tricky.B.Regretful.C.Cold.D.False.3.Which statement does Lionel Sebbag agree with?A.Weeping contributes to eye disease.B.The cornea has rich blood vessels.C.Tears oil and clear the eyes.D.More tears mean better vision.4.What might be the best title for the text?A.Tears, a barrier to eyesB.A better treatment for eye diseaseC.Non⁃human tears promise new curesD.Other species' tears are similar to humans'[语篇解读] 语篇类型:说明文。

Money was tight and he became infuriated(愤怒的) when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy."The man was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found out the box was empty. He yelled at her, stating, "Don't you know, when you give someone a present, there is supposed to be something inside? " The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried, "Oh, Daddy, it's not empty at all. I blew kisses into the box. They're all for you, Daddy."The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness.Only a short time later, an accident took the life of the child. It is also told that her father kept that gold box by his bed for many years and, whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.In a very real sense, each one of us, as humans beings, have been given a gold container filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, family members, friends, and God.

4.2英语课后作业（时间40分钟）阅读理解AMark is always engaged in his work. But this time he felt that it was time for him to take part in his community，so he went to the neighborhood meeting after work.The area city councilwoman was leading a discussion about how the quality of life was on the decline.The neighborhood faced many problems.Mark looked at the charts taped to the walls.There were charts for parking problems，crime，and for problems in empty buildings.Mark read from the charts，“Police patrols cut back, illegal parking up 20%”．People were supposed to suggest solutions to the councilwoman.It was too much for Mark.“The problems are too big”，he thought.He turned to the man next to him and said, “I think this is a waste of my time.Nothing I can do would make a difference here.”As he neared the bus stop on his way home, Mark saw a woman carrying a grocery bag, and a baby. As Mark got closer, her other child, a little boy, suddenly ran into the street. The woman tried to reach for him, but as she moved, her bag shifted, and groceries started to fall out. Mark ran to take the boy’s arm and led him back to his mother. “You gotta stay with your mom，”he said.Then he picked up the stray groceries and the woman smiled in relief.“Thanks，”she said，“you’ve got great timing.”“Just being neighborly，”Mark said.As he rode home, he glanced at the walls of the bus. On one of them was “Small_acts_of_kindness_add_up.”Mark smiled and thought, “Maybe that’s a good place to start.”1．What was being discussed when Mark arrived at the neighborhood meeting？A．The high price of groceries.B．The education problem of children.C．The worsening of the quality of life.D．The housing conditions in the community.2．What’s Mark’s opinion about the community problems according to the first paragraph?A．People could solve the problems by themselves.B．He didn’t have the ability to solve such problems.C．He didn’t have enough time to solve the problems.D．People were too selfish to help others solve the problems.3．What does the underlined sentence “Small acts of kindness add up.”mean in the last paragraph?A．All small acts will add to kindness.B．Everyone should try his best to do good deeds.C．All small kind acts can make people grow up quickly.D．Everyone can play his own part to make things better.4．What can we learn from this passage?A．Mark always played an active part in community activities.B．Visual aids were used to display the seriousness of problems.C．Many people were discouraged by the problems faced by them.D．The city councilwoman was responsible for the falling of life quality.BNew research from Princeton University in New Jersey found something else special abouthow adults—in this case mothers—speak to their very young children.“We found for the first time that mothers shift their timbre，”said Elise Piazza, a postdoctoral researcher at Princeton University. Piazza added，“Timbre is best explained as the unique quality of a sound. Barry_White’s_silky_voice_sounds_different_from_Tom_Waits’_poor_one—even_if_they’re_singing_the_same_note.”Using special equipment, Piazza and other Princeton researchers found that mothers shared similar changes in timbre when speaking to babies. The researchers tried to record the sounds mothers used with their babies at home. “We chose to record mothers playing with and reading to their own babies just like they would at home，”Piazza said. She wanted the discussions to be as natural as possible.The research offers new ways to show differences between how adults speak to babies, compared to fellow adults. The research was not limited just to English speakers. Researchers listened to discussions in seven other languages: Mandarin, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Cantonese, German, and French.Piazza said the research provides more information besides what is mentioned above. For example, she said, it could include how people change their timbre when speaking to friends or managers at work; how candidates speak to voters; and how people speak to their boyfriends, girlfriends or spouses(配偶)．The Princeton research follows earlier research on baby talk. In 2014, researchers from the University of Washington and University of Connecticut looked at thousands of verbal discussions between parents and babies. They compared regular speaking voices and baby talk. Patricia K. Kuhl, a co­director of the University of Washington, said researchers found that use of baby talk led to better early language development.5．What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2?A．People can’t change their sound quality.B．Barry White has a better voice than Tom Waits.C．People’s sound quality varies from person to person.D．Their sounds appear differently with the same loudness.6．What does the research show according to Paragraph 5?A．How people communicate effectively with others.B．How people speak in different situations.C．How timbre improves in different cases.D．How people express ideas to others.7．If one more paragraph is added, it should focus on ________．A．baby talk’s developmentB．examples of baby talk’s helpC．parents’comment on the researchD．baby talk’s advantages and disadvantages8．What is the general tone of the author in the passage?A．Objective.B．Subjective.C．Doubtful. D．Critical.完形填空A few days ago, my sister Liz and I talked about Dad, and we decided to get him a little something for Father’s Day. We talked about the times when we were 1 up and how Mom and Dad used to play the “good cop, bad cop”thing on us. Dad has been a person of few words since we were 2 . He raised us more by 3 than anything else. When he spoke, though we listened, he was always mysterious and difficult to understand. There was always a(n) 4 meaning that I never got, but Liz always 5 to decipher(破解) him. By the time I got to high school, I had wanted a skateboard and I 6 I was too old to ask money from my parents, so I worked at a burger joint(美式汉堡店). One day, I was really angry about annoying burgers. I came home huffing and puffing(气喘吁吁). Dad saw me and asked me what was the 7 . I told him that I was fed up with annoying burgers. He said that we all have to start somewhere, that we may not know it now, but the skills we learn even in a burger joint might come in handy 8 in life, “Who knows, you might end up having to run a 9 or even own one when you grow up，”said Dad. He 10 me down and I kept what he said in mind, even though I really didn’t agree with it.A couple of years later, when I got to college, I worked in a restaurant. During one of the really 11 days that we had, we were short on kitchen staff. Our customers were getting impatient and the 12 were getting delayed. We were sure any minute something terrible would 13 out. I couldn’t stand the 14 any more, so I rolled up my sleeves, got myself a hair net and helped out in the hot kitchen. We caught up with the orders 15 . The owner saw what I did and called me over around 16 time. He said that he was very 17 . He raised my salary and made me the assistant manager even though I could only go part－time. That was18 I realized that what my dad said to me all those years before was absolutely true.I’ve never forgotten what my Dad said that day. And whenever I have to do something that requires new skills, no matter how insignificant or 19 it seems, I have a new perspective(看法) that it might really help me later on or even right now and I just don’t know it. Experience is everything and it 20 a lot when you take lessons from it. That’s my life’s philosophy. 1．A．getting B．goingC．growing D．coming2．A．schoolboys B．kidsC．adults D．graduates 3．A．instruction B．exampleC．order D．inspiration4．A．obvious B．clearC．reasonable D．hidden5．A．failed B．refusedC．tried D．managed6．A．imagined B．promisedC．believed D．suggested 7．A．experience B．matterC．event D．accident8．A．later B．soonerC．latter D．late9．A．restaurant B．hospitalC．school D．plant10．A．calmed B．wroteC．let D．put11．A．exciting B．worryingC．busy D．happy12．A．meetings B．partiesC．menus D．orders13．A．break B．showC．go D．set14．A．quarrel B．lazinessC．relaxation D．tension 15．A．eventually B．regularlyC．obviously D．thankfully 16．A．breakfast B．lunchC．opening D．closing 17．A．influenced B．interestedC．inspired D．impressed18．A．when B．whyC．whether D．where19．A．important B．impressive C．interesting D．small20．A．works B．countsC．shows D．studies语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
