选择题部分Ⅰ.阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)第一节(共10小题;每小题2.5分,满分25分)AThe new mayor of Hillsdale, Michigan, is a man of the people, ready to listen to their problems, but only until 6 pm. Then he has to do his homework. Michael Sessions, 18, beat former mayor Doug Ingles, 51, by just two votes and became the new mayor of Hil lsdale. He is America’s youngest mayor.As Sessions was too young to enter the election in the spring of 2005, he registered to vote on Sept. 22, one day after his 18-year-old birthday. The day after that he started his write-in campaign, which meant he should persuade voters to remember his name and write it by hand on the voting ballots(选票).To help get his name known, Sessions earned$700 by selling apples over the summer. He spent the money on posters and put them on the Hillsdale’s lawns.Sessions’ mo nth-long campaign included going door to door, explaining his ideas of the town’s future in the kitchens of his neighbours. “They’d look at me, and say ‘How old are you again? How much experience do you have?’ And I say ‘I’m still in high school’,” he said. Sessions promised Hillsdale’s voters he would renew the local economy. “I was hopeful the whole time,” he explained. One day he spent so long out on the streets knocking on the doors that he ended up in a hospital emergency room.Sessions said that his s choolwork will not get in the way of his job as a mayor. “From 7:50 am to 2:30 pm, I’ll be a student. From 3 to 6, I’ll be the mayor of Hillsdale,” he said.“He did a very brave thing that couldn’t have been easy for him to do,”said Jack Vettel, a councilman in Hillsdale, a city of 8,200 about 75 miles south-west of Detroit. “He does care about this town. He’s been here all his life.”Sessions will receive$3,600 a year during this four-year term, and will work out of his bedroom since the town does not provide the mayor with an office.1.What is TRUE of Sessions’ election campaign according to the text?A.Sessions launched his election campaign on Sept. 22.B.Sessions worked so hard that he once tried to persuade people in a hospital.C.Sessions won the election campaign by a very close outcome.D.Sessions felt disappointed when asked about his age and experience.2.In order to gain more support from the voters Sessions had to do all these things EXCEPT.A.put up postersB.renew the economyC.sell applesD.talk to neighbours in kitchens3.What can we infer from the passage?A.American mayors usually work from 3 pm to 6 pm.B.In America, young people are encouraged to get involved in politics.C.All teenagers are allowed to enter political elections.D.American mayors receive a salary of $3,600 a year during their 4-year term.4.Which of the following would best summarize the text?A.A schoolboy becomes America’s youngest mayor.B.How to become a teenage mayor.C.Hard work is the ticket to success.D.Never too young to shake the world.BMy dad was in the Air Force. When I was a kid, we moved every few years. That meant a lot of good-byes. It also meant getting used to a whole new community and a whole new school each time we moved. I can still feel what it was like to have to walk into the new school—that sinking feeling in my belly, that heaviness in my throat. It would always take time for me to learn how everything worked, what was cool and what was not. It was always a struggle to find where I could fit in.Already shy, I didn’t have much self-confidence in my friend-making abilities. I was the girl walking in the halls with her head down, panicking. When I spoke, you could hardly hear my soft voice. I was nervous and doubted myself a lot.It was very hard not having a history with everyone else. I was an outsider. But what I did havewas soccer. Wherever I went, I knew that I could fit in with the soccer ball. The soccer team meant a familiar place and immediate friends for me. I could express myself and feel good about myself on the field. Playing hard helped to get rid of all my nervousness.Throughout our lives, our self-respect goes down when we feel like a failure, and it goes up when we feel successful. Doing something well, being praised, and feeling loved goes a long way. We all need to explore opportunities where we can be good at something and feel good about ourselves. Physical activity and sport participation is a terrific way to build up our sense of self-confidence and self-worth.5. How did the author feel about moving to a new school?A.Delighted.B.Stressed.C.Thrilled.D.Uninterested.6. How did soccer help the author fit in?A.It made her physically strong.B.It improved her school performance.C.It helped build her self-confidence.D.It enabled her to know herself better.7. According to the author, one’s self-confidence grows when one .A.gets challengedB.has a history with othersC.participates in sportsD.feels appreciatedCI grew up in New York my whole life. I studied in a perfect college that happened only to be an hour away from home. Then, about three weeks before the spring term was over, my parents told me we were moving to Arizona that summer. They asked me if I was going to transfer (转学) to another college. I said no. I was not going to change everything in my life at a time and I loved my college and all the amazing things I was doing there. It was my second home; I would not leave everything I knew at the same time since that was asking for trouble.I never imagined it would be this hard but, at the same time, the best thing that could havehappened to me.When out in Arizona, life was hard. I didn’t know anyone other than my family and friends. I couldn’t bear the extreme heat. But it has helped me so much. I have started working on my writing. I also have time to work out in the gym. It has helped me realize that no matter where you are or who you know you can always find something that you enjoy.When back at school in New York, it was hard as well. Living close to home was my security blanket. If something was wrong I could get in my car and drive home and see my family. After my family moved to another city, I lacked security and was always controlled by anxiety. However, it helped me learn independence and forced me to be brave.I’m so thankful that I didn’t transfer to a different school, which has given me the opportunity to go back and see best friends in my hometown. A year ago, I officially left my hometown for good. It has helped me grow and I am so thankful that I have had this experience. Now, when I graduate from college, I can go anywhere I want. I am no longer afraid to go out on my own into the world. The world is full of opportunities and pleasure and I can’t wait to see where I will be next.8.In Paragraph 1, the author .A.preferred to stay at school than at homeB.would not change both school and homeC.would rather stay at his hometownD.was glad to go to a new school9.What was life like to the author in Arizona?A.He liked the cool weather there.B.He couldn’t find an ything he enjoyed.C.He found his life difficult but helpful.D.He worked for a student organization.10.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 means “Living near home .”A.gave me a sense of securityB.meant I could be safe every dayC.meant I could do everything I wanted bravelyD.allowed me to get a blanket easily if needed第二节阅读七选五(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分) [2018·浙江绍兴高二期末考试]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。
