Since August 1, the bureau has also carried out checks on vehicles’ emission control systems to make sure they are working correctly.About 30 percent of the total 9,300 government cars and the city’s police officers’cars will be off the road from October 12 to December 22, in order to decrease pollution emissions, said Li Zhuo, director of the motor pollution control office, Guangzhou environmental protection bureau. Meanwhile, all construction sites in the city, except those with special authorization, will be asked to stop building from the end of September to the end of December, said Zhang Guangning, secretary of Guangzhou Party committee.In November, the city usually registers its worst air quality due to the colder weather, which makes it more difficult to monitor pollution.Jian Jianyang, director of the pollution control division at theenvironmental protection bureau, said factories that pollute excessively will have to limit their production during the Games and will not be allowed to return to normal production levels until December 20.Guangzhou began to look into improving its air quality after it won its bid to host the 16th Asian Games in July 2020;2020.“It’s not just an emergency package to limit the air pollution,”said Jian. “It’s a long –term measure and we see the Games as an opportunity to achieve it quicker.”56.

If you think that you or someone else has broken a bone, the most important things to do are to stay calm, make the hurt person comfortable, and call the doctor. Do not move the injured body part since movement could make it worse. To treat the break, the doctor will need to take an X-ray. This gives the doctor the information he or she needs to set (接上) the bone: to put it back to its normal place. If the bone is large or it is broken in more than one place, the doctor may need to use metal pins (钢钉) to set it. After the bone has been set, the next stepis usually putting on a cast, the special, hard thing that will keep the bone in place for a month or two.Your bones are excellent at healing themselves.

Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be a most wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she said again, “is for Elizabeth.”I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed in action. But asa young girl. I wanted to have heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional（易动感情的）”. But she lived “on the surface “.As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace — it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.But the present of her desk told me, as she'd never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside —a photo of my father and a one-paper letter, folded and refolded many times. It was my letter.“In any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.”21. The writer began to love her mother's desk________.A. after Mother diedB. before she became a writerC. when she was a childD. when Mother gave it to her22. The passage shows that_________.A. Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughterB. Mother was too serious about her daughter in wordsC. Mother wrote to her daughter in careful wordsD. Mother wrote to her daughter in careless words23. The underlined word “gulf” in the third passage means_______.A. deep misunderstanding between the old and the youngB. different ideas between mother and daughterC. free talks between mother and daughterD. part of the sea going far in land24. What did Mother do with her daughter's letter asking for forgiveness?A. She had never received the letter.B. For years, she often talked about the letter.C. She didn't forgive her daughter at all in all her life.D. She read the letter again and again till she died.25. What's best title of the passage?A. My letter to MotherB. Mother and childrenC. My Mother's DeskD. Talks between Mother and meBCheating can happen in a lot of different ways. When people cheat, it's not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game.Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesn't solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won't help on the next test— unless the person cheats again.Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.Some kids cheat because they're busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they can't pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isn't a good idea.If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn't study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you don’t have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school.A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.26. The author thinks that when kids cheat in class,________.A. it is unfair to other peopleB. it does harm to their healthC. teachers should punish themD. teachers shouldn't stop them at once27. Some students like cheating mainly because_________.A. the material in the test is very difficultB. they want to do better than the othersC. cheating can make hard things seem very easyD. they have little time to study their lessons28. The fourth paragraph mainly tells us______.A. cheating isn't a good ideaB. why kids cheat in the testC. some kids can't pass the test without cheatingD. some kids don't spend the time studying29. We can learn from the passage______.A. cheaters are often thought highly ofB. people show no respect for those who cheatC. parents whose kids cheat are often in troubleD. kids cheat in the test because of swim practice30. In the passage those cheaters are advised to_______.A. spend more time on school than on sportsB. find good solutions instead of cheatingC. try hard to be intelligent rather than lazyD. ask their classmates for good methods of studyNew wordsNew phrasesNew sentences参考答案1-5 ACDBC 6-10DACBA 11-15 BCADB 16-20CDCDB21-25 CABDC 26-30ACBBB高考期末总复习25分钟限时阅读天天练十七第一部分：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）One man was to meet his wife downtown and spend some time shopping with her.

He got $ 10 for each A.”I suddenly became concerned. These payoffs might get parents through grammar school, but what about high school and beyond? What would be left after the electric guitar, the cellphone, and the portable DVD player?I saw the road ahead: As the homework load increased, my income would decrease. I saw my comfortable lifestyle vanish before my eyes—no more of those $ 5 bags of already-peeled organic carrots. No more organic anything!I started to feel surprised and nervous. Would every goal attained by my two children fetch a reward? A high grade point average? A good class ranking? Would sports achievements be included in this reward system: soccer goals, touchdowns, runs-batted-in? What about orchestra? Would first chair pay more than second? I’d be penniless by eighth-grade graduation.“We never paid anything for good grades,” said my neighbor across the street, whose son was recently accepted at MIT. “He just did it on his own. Maybe once in a while we went out for pizz a, but that’s about it.”Don’t you just hate that? We’re all running around looking for the MP3 player with the most updates, and she’s spending a few dollars on pizza. She gets motivation; we get negotiation.21．The sentence “As the homework load increased, my income would decrease.” in the third paragraph probably means _____________.A．taking care of the children would influence my workB．I would spend more money on my children’s homeworkC．reducing children’s homework load would cost me a lotD．more rewards would be needed as the children grew up22．We can tell from the passage that the author’s son was in ___________.A. primary schoolB. junior middle schoolC. high schoolD. university23．It can be inferred from the passage that ____________.A．if you pay the children for good grades, they would take it for grantedB．if you buy children pizza for good grades, they would work harderC．children would not ask for rewards when they enter high schoolD．children would not ask for rewards when they enter university24．The example of the author’s neighbor shows that ____________.A．pizza is the best way to motivate childrenB．reward is not the only way to motivate childrenC．the author’s neighbor was very poorD．the author’s neighbor’s son didn’t like reward25．What is the author’s attitude toward paying children reward for good grades?A．Favorable B．Ambiguous C．Disagreeable D．NeutralBI was born an albino. No one in my family had ever known what an albino was, what it meant to be an albino, and what had to be done differently because I was an albino.My parents treated me just like they treated everybody else. That was just about the best thing they could have done. It helped me trust myself, so when the annoyances came along, I could deal with them.True, my photo always looked like a snowball with two pieces of coal for eyes. Kids would tease me, asking if I was joining the circus and calling me “Whitey”. Like most albinos, I had terrible eyesight, and my grades suffered until eventually I overcame my feeling ashamed of myself and realized it was okay to ask to sit in the front of the classroom so I could see the blackboard better. People stared at me when I held reading material right at the tip of my nose so I could see it well enough to read. Even when I was eight or nine, movie-theater clerks started asking me to pay adult prices because I “looked older”.The worst part for me was that because my eyesight was so bad, I couldn’t play sports very well. I didn’t give up trying, though. And I studied harder.Eventually, I got better at school and loved it. By the time I got to college I was double majoring, going to summer school and devoting myself to every kind of extracurricular activity I could find. I had learned to be prou d of being an albino. I did my best to make “albino” a positive word. And I decided to make my living with my eyes.I couldn’t see well enough to play sports, but with a solid education and the drive to do it. I could make a living involved in the field I loved. I’ve done it now for more than thirty years in print and in video, and now in cyberspace. People make jokes about how I’m the only “blind editor” they know, but most of the time the jokes are signs of respect. And I make jokes about being an albino.I was just a proud albino kid from the coal country of Pennsylvania. I now realize that being born an albino helped me to overcome difficulties, gain confidence, and be proud of my personal achievement and humble about my professional accomplishments.26. What is an albino according to the passage?A. Someone with bad eyesight.B. Someone with some kind of disease.C. Someone who looks older than his age.D. Someone who joins the circus.27. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The fact that the author was born an albino.B. What had to be done differently to the author.C.

Despite his bad eyesight, the author played sport well.D. “Albino” has already become a positive word now.29. Why are people’s jokes about the author mostly signs of respect?A. Because he is an albino.B. Because he has a solid education.C. Because they think he is a great “blind editor”.D. Because they think he is proud of his achievement.30.

Americans hold both the fork and the knife in their right hands throughout the meal, so they continually change their forks to the left hand when they have to cut their meat. It seems to be funny for the Europeans to see Americans busy changing their dinner sets, making a lot of noises.A few explanations for this American style are as follows:Americans are practical and efficient. Since most of us are right-handed, it is reasonable to keep our working tools at all times in our right hands that can use them most efficiently.Americans, the master of the New World are rebels. They use the zigzag method to break the rules in the Old World and in this way they are thumbing their nose at Mother England. Americans are a restless kind. They do not like to sit in one spot for very long when dining.Forced to do so, they re spond by “playing” with the silver.Whatever the reason for the practice, it is now certainly as American as apple pie. Europeans recognize this and are quick to attack it as evidence of American innocence of form. Arguments against the zigzag method rest not only on grounds of efficiency but also on those of tradition. InOld World Dining, the knife is held in the right hand continually because it can serve as an instant defense against the uninvited intruders (入侵者). However, such alertness(警觉) is out of place in the New World, as every American believes that this is the home of the brave. Americans juggle their silverware, perhaps, to show that they are not afraid and that one of them holding a fork is worth any number of them holding blades.21. Americans use _________ to hold their fork to pick up the salad.A. the right handB. the left handC. both handsD. either of the two hands22. As the masters of the New World, Americans use a different cutting method from that in the Old World to___________.A. show their independence of Mother EnglandB. show their disrespect to Mother EnglandC. add a new tradition to those in Mother EnglandD. show off their creativeness to Mother England23. In the sentence, the underlined word “juggle” probably me ans _______________ .A. holdB. play withC. pick upD. lay down24. Also in the last sentence, the two underlined “them” refer to ______________.A. AmericansB. EuropeansC. Americans and Europeans separatelyD. Europeans and Americans separately25. The following statements are true except that __________.A. European people hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right handB. the zigzag eating method is related to American characteristicsC. the zigzag eating method has become an American featureD. European people will use the American method because of its efficiencyBBirthdays often involve surprises. But this year's surprise on the birthday of the great British playwright William Shakespeare is surely one of the most dramatic.On April 22, one day before his 441st birthday anniversary, experts discovered that one of the most recognizable portraits of William Shakespeare is a fake. This means that we no longer have a good idea of what Shakespeare looked like. "It's very possible that many pictures of Shakespeare might be unreliable because many of them are copies of this one," said an expert from Britain's National Portrait Gallery.The discovery comes after four months of testing using X-rays, ultraviolet light, microphotography and paint samples. The experts from the gallery say the image —commonly known as the "Flower portrait"—was actually painted in the 1800s, about two centuries after Shakespeare's death. The art experts who work at the gallery say they also used modern chemistry technology to check the paint on the picture. These checks found traces of paint dating from about 1814. Shakespeare died in 1616, and the date that appears on the portrait is 1609."We now think the portrait dates back to around 1818 to 1840. This was when there was a renewed interest in Shakespeare's plays," Tarnya Cooper, the gallery's curator (馆长), told the Associated President.The fake picture has often been used as a cover for collections of his plays. It is called the Flower portrait because one of its owners, Desmond Flower, gave it to the Royal Shakespeare Company."There have always been questions about the painting," said David Howells, curator for the Royal Shakespeare Company. "Now we know the truth, we can put the image in its proper place in the history of Shakespearean portraiture."Two other images of Shakespeare, are also being studied as part of the investigation (调查) and the results will come out later this month.___________________________________________________________________________.26. What makes the birthday of Shakespeare dramatic this year?A. It was found that he painted a portrait in 1814 instead of in 1609.B. The Flower portrait has been found to be a fake.C. Three portraits of Shakespeare are being tested to identify a real one.D.

"Flower portrait " was a portrait of Shakespeare given to Desmond Flower.C. 1814 might be when the portrait was drawn.D. The Flower portrait is not often used as a cover for Shakespeare's play.28ow many methods were used to test the portrait?A. Not mentioned.B. TwoC. ThreeD. At least four.29The best title for this passage is _________.A. Birthdays often involve surprisesB. The surprise on the 441st birthday of ShakespeareC. One portrait of Shakespeare is a fakeD. How can we know Shakespeare's appearance?30Which is the best sentence to fill in the blank in the last paragraph?A. Soon we'll know which portrait is reliable.B. Maybe we cannot find a real portrait of Shakespeare.C. If the two portraits are found to be false, they will test more.D.

"That translates into greater mental effort, making it easier to get a headache," he said.Dr Deborah Friedman, a professor of ophthalmology and neurology（神经学）at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York, said: "If your eyes are a little off to begin with then it's really throwing a whole degree of effort that your brain now needs to exert. This disparity for some people will give them a headache."Experts say there are no studies tracking how common it is to get a headache after watching a 3D film.Rick Heineman, a spokesman for RealD, which provides 3D equipment to cinemas, said headaches and nausea were the main reasons 3D technology never took off before.But he said new digital technology addresses many of the problems that had previously caused sore heads.56、What can we learn from what Dr Michael Rosenberg said ?A. A lot of people prefer walking around with very minor eye problems to sitting silently watching 3D films.B. The brain can deal with very minor eye problems under normal circumstances naturally.C. A lot of people haven’t got very minor eye problems when viewing films under normal circumstances.D. People come into very minor eye problems and a minor muscle imbalance when watching 3D films.57、What does the underlined word “prolonged” in the 3rd pa ragraph mean ?A. continuousB. constantC. regularD. long-time58、According to the passage , which of the following is TRUE ?A. It has taken over $1 billion to make the popularity of three-dimensional movies and new 3D television sets.B. Watching a 3D movie leaves viewers confronted with an entirely new sensory experience.C. There are studies tracking how common it is to get a headache after watching a 3D film.D. Rick Heineman said that 3D technology would never take off headaches and nausea in future.59、What’s the main idea of the passage ?A. The expert warns the readers not to watch 3D films because of resulting in an aching head.B. New digital technology gives viewers headaches and eye problems.C. The experts are studying how to get rid of many of the problems that have previously caused sore heads.D.

It is the address of the White House, the home of the president of the United States.Originally the White House was gray and was called the presidential Palace. It was built from 1792 to 1800. At this time, the city of Washington itself was being built. It was to be the nation’s new capital city. George Washington, the first president, and Pierre Charles L'Enfant, a French engineer, chose the place for the new city. L'Enfant then planned the city. The president's home was an important part of the plan.A contest was held to pick a design for the president's home. An architect named James Hoban won. He designed a large three-story house of gray stone. President Washington never lived in the Presidential Palace. The first president to live there was John Adams, the second president of the United States, and his wife Mrs.Adams did not really like her new house. In her letters, she often complained about the cold. Fifty fireplaces were not enough to keep the house warm.In 1812 the United States and Britain went to war. In 1814 the British invaded Washington. They burned many buildings, including the Presidential Palace. After the war James Hoban, the original architect, partially rebuilt the president’s home. To cover the marks of the fire, the building was painted white. Before long it became known as the White House.The White House is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the United States. Every year more than 1.5 million visitors go through the five rooms that are open to the public.16. The White House was built in Washington_____.A. because a French engineer was invited to design itB. because President George Washington liked to live in itC. because the British invaders lived in it in1812-1814D. because it was to be the nation’s capital city17.

The new presidential home was painted white to ______.A. cover the marks of fireB. attract tourist from FranceC. to please Mrs. John AdamsD. keep it warm in winterBIt was Friday, the day of the field trip on which Miss Joan would take her class to pick apples.Miss Joan enjoyed picking apples with her students. She smiled as she led her students to the bus that would take them to the Greenly Apple Orchard （果园）.The bus ride was bumpy(颠簸的) and the kids were a little noisy, but still Miss Joan was smiling.The bus stopped in front of the Greenly Apple Orchard and the class got off quickly and quietly. Miss Joan made sure everyone was there. “What a glorious, sunny, apple picking day,” Miss Joan announced with her grandest smile. Mr. Greenly was there to greet them. “Let’s see, there are eighteen children and two adul ts at three dollars each. That will be sixty dollars, please.”Miss Joan held up the brochure in her hand. “It says that the price is twodollars each,” she pointed out. “That’s what I collected from everyone.”“We’ve had to raise the price,” Mr. Greenly s tated.“You sent me this brochure after we made our reservation,” Miss Joan complained, “and it says two dollars!”“Miss Joan, if you look at the bottom of this brochure,” Mr. Greenly said, “you’ll notice very important statement.”Sure enough, in very tin y letters, it said, “Prices are subject to change without notice.”Miss Joan was determined to keep her good mood. She took a twenty dollars bill out of her own purse and handed it to Mr. Greenly with the forty dollars she had in an envelope.“Now children, do you all have your baskets?” Miss Joan called out. “Remember, each of you can pick as many apples as possible.”Mr. Greenly said, “You can’t pick as many apples as possible.”“I beg your pardon!” Miss Joan was not smiling now. “The brochure says, ‘ALL YOU CAN PICK’!”Mr. Greenly pointed to the tiniest letters Miss Joan had ever almost seen. It also says, “Terms(条款) and conditions of group reservations are subject to change without notice.”Miss Joan’s good mood was now history. She didn’t want to set a bad example for her students, so she said in a calm and quiet voice, “We’re going home, give me our money back, please.”20. The phrase“subject to change without notice” suggests________．A. Mr. Greenly could change the terms at willB. the customers should read the brochure carefullyC. Mr. Greenly could determine what apples to be pickedD. the customers should be informed beforehand21. The students could not pick as many apples as they would like because________.A. they were childrenB. there were not enough applesC. they had made a group reservationD. they would eat up too many apples22.“Miss Joan’s good mood was now history” (the last paragraph) means ________.A.

Bake sales have proven to be highly profitable toward schools with young people because the start-up costs are very small. Allie，a Roslyn High School freshman , agrees that bake sales are needed for school supplies.“l think it’s wrong for schools to ban bake sales because a lot of schools need the money to be raised. Our school could really use the money for new uniforms.”Allie also commented on the bake sales apparent cause of child overweight. “I fe el that it is the student’s choice to eat the baked goods. lf they want it, let them have it．”Jessica，another Roslyn High School freshman, had a different opinion.“I feel that children can not always stay away from items such as cupcakes. It might be better if the amount of bake sales were limited, and only allowed students to buy one item.”New York Education advisors are having trouble coming up with substitute product for students to sell. A plan of advertising healthier foods has come into play. However the department needs to consider if students will go for items like vegetables. Allie and Jessica don’t think so.“Students might not like the healthier foods. This way, the schools are gaining less money.”Allie shares. Another plan to think about is the idea of not selling food products altogether. Alternate programs are being conducted throughout New York schools，such as walk-a-thons, as a healthy way for students to earn money for their schools．21．The new “wellness”policy is declared in order to_______．A. help schools out of budget difficultiesB. reduce child overweight caused by bake foodC. help students save money spent on foodD. reduce the price of bake food sold in schools22. Which of the following statement about Allie is true?A. He is rich in experience about the bake sales at schoo1.B. He agrees to carry out the bake sales ban at schools.C. He attaches great importance to the school’s income.D. He attaches too much importance to students’health.23. According to Jessica, the cupcakes____________A. don’t belong to the bake salesB. shouldn’t be banned at schoolC. mustn’t be sold at schoolsD. can be fully replaced by vegetables24. Which is both healthy and profitable way for schools to earn money?A. The bake sales.B. The vegetables salesC. The walk-a-thons.D. The food product sales．25. We can infer from the passage that schools in New York always______.A. sell baked food to studentsB. free students to choose foodC. find ways to earn moneyD. offer chances to earn moneyBGreg Woodburn，a student at the University of Southern California, spends a lot of time cleaning sneakers once belonging to others. Soon the shoes will have new owners: under privileged children in the United States and 20 other countries, thanks to Woodburn’s Share Our Soles( SOS) charity.A high school track star in the beach town of Ventura, Woodburn was once sidelined for months with foot injuries.“I started thinking about all the things I got from running---the health benefits, the friendships，the confidence,”he says.“And I realized there are children who don’t even have shoes.” Woodburn gathered up his own slightly worn sneakers，then put out a call to teammates．His goal was to have 100 pairs by Christmas ．When the count climbed to more than 500 pairs, (“everything snowballed,”he says) he decided to turn the shoe drive into a year-round effort.Back then, the sneakers came from donation boxes and the local sporting goods store and from door-to-door pickups. Woodburn has now set up collection boxes at two high schools and area races. To date, SOS has collected and donated more than 3000 pairs.In just under three years，Woodburn has started three chapters of Share Our Soles：the original in Ventura, another at USC ,and one at the College of the Holy Cross in Massachusetts last January，when a student there wrote asking to get involved．The organization’s website, , keeps and distributes sneakers and sells wrist bands and socks(the money earned from that goes toward new shoes and socks for children)．26.

On the contrary, a lack of such playin g can create stress for both children and parents, and it also cause obesity (肥胖) when children spend too much time sitting in front of educational videos. The report notes lack of playing could even lead to depression in many children.The reports thinks the lack of playtime lies in the fact that parents want to have super – smartchildren and safe places for children to play is decreasing. A balance between free playing and education activates should be struck, the report sates.“In the current environmen t, where so many parents feel pressure to be super parents, I believe this message is an important one,” said Dr. Kenneth Ginsburg, the report’s lead author and a pediatrician (小儿科医师) at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.Noted pediatrician, author, and presenter of cable TV’s “What Every Baby Knows,” DR. T. Betty Brazeltion agreed. Children with structured activities are missing the chance to dream, to make their own world work the way they want it. That to me is a very important part of childhood. 21．From the passage we can see that today’s children really need more .A．enrichment activities B．conventional playtimeC．structured activities D．educational activities22．Which of the following is a proper word to describe today’s children?A．Dull.

Berry Brazelton mainly emphasizes in the last paragraph.A．children’s ability to dreamB．the roles of structured activitiesC．the important activities in his childhoodD．the harm of too many structured activities25．It can be inferred from the passage that .A．children given a lot of unstructured activates can be more creativeB．get – smart videos and enrichment can create super childrenC．there is a competition among parents to be super parentsD．children obesity is mainly caused by lack of playtimeB“China is expected to complete its first exploration (探索) of the moon in and will found a moon base just as we did on the North and South Poles,” Ouyang Ziyuan, head of Ch ina's moon exploration program, promised during national science and technology week.After its first man in space, China plans a space laboratory, a lunar orbiter to look for valuable elements and minerals, robot landings on the moon and then the human touchdown.The price of space exploration is enormous. Russia and the US, the only two countries to have achieved manned flight, are struggling to keep their new investment, the international space station.But China, which has a long tradition in physics, mathematics and engineering, finds its doctoral graduates welcomed in the US and Europe for decades. And it has been able to learn from 40 years of pioneering successes and mistakes by the USSR and the USA.Space flight is a gamble and the stakes (赌注) are high. If successful, China could become a member of the world's most exclusive club, set up a second home on the moon and get a powerful hand at the strategic bargaining table.Two designers from the Shenzhou III project said that 12 astronauts now are undergoing intensive training. One more unmanned space flight is planned before the first manned launch.Experts say that the Shenzhou spacecraft already provides China with a space vehicle capable of mounting（发起）a lunar program.

He stood out because the kids made fun of him. He was missing one of his fingers, and always pointed at students with his middle finger.I was not very good at English and math. No matter how hard I tried, I just could not know why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.One day, I was told that if I got one more E on my report card, I would be taken to the “big prison for kids”.I tried really hard for weeks. I just couldn’t understand how to make different parts of numbers into whole things.The day before report cards were to come out, I knew that Mr Young would give me an E, just like he always did.I went to Mr. Young and told him that the orphanage (孤儿院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card. He told me there was nothing he could do; it would be unfair（不公平） to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned. I smiled at him and said, “Mr. Young, do you know how the kids make fun of you because you’re missing your fin ger?”He looked at me, moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.“They shouldn’t do that to you because you can’t help not having a finger, Mr Young. Just like I can’t help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that,” I said.The next day, when I got my report card, I tucked it into one of my books. While on the school bus, I opened it: Geography, B+; Mechanical Drawing, C-;English, D-; History, C-; Gym, B+; Art, C; Math, D-.That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received.

2020年高二英语上学期25分钟限时阅读天天练—第10天阅读理解AEvery year on my birthday, from the time I turned 12, a white gardenia was delivered to my house. No card came with it. Calls to the flower-shop were not helpful at all. After a while ,I stopped trying to discover the sender’s name and just delighted in the beautiful white flower in soft pink paper. But I never stopped imagining who the giver might be. Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged these imaginings. She’d ask me if there was someone for whom I had done special kindness. Perhaps it was the old man across the street whose mail I’d delivered during the winter. As a girl, though, I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy I had run into.One month before my graduation, my father died. I felt so sad that I became completely uninterested in my upcoming graduation dance, and I didn’t care if I had a new dress or not. But my mother, in her own sadness, would not let me miss any of those things. She wanted her children to feel loved and lovable. In truth, my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia—lovely, strong and perfect with perhaps a bit of mystery . My mother died ten days after I was married. I was 22. That was the year the gardenia stopped coming.56. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. A Childhood Dream.B. A Mother’s Love.C. A Graduation Party.D. A Special Birthday.57. The mother insisted that her daughter go to the graduation dance because _______.A. she could take care of things herselfB. she hoped she would find a boyfriendC. she wanted her to be happy and strongD. she thought education was most important58. Who was the sender of the flower?A. A boy the writer had run into.B. One of the writer’s neighbors.C. One of the writer’s classmates.D. The writer’s motherBHave you ever hear a saying, “Never judge a book by its cover.”? This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence of others. Some people have minds that shine only in certain situations. A young man with an unusual gift in writing may find himself speechless before a pretty girl when he speaks. He may not be able to find the right words. But don’t make the mistake of thinking him stupid. With a pen and paper, he can express himself better than anybody else.Other people may fool you into overestimating their intelligence by putting up a good front. A student who listens attentively and takes notes in class is bound to make a favorable impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class.In a word, you can’t judge someone by appearance. The only way to determine a person’s intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can see how he reacts to different situations. The more situations you see, the better your judgment is likely to be. So take your time. Don’t judge a book by its cover.59. The passage suggests that ______.A. a good writer may not be a good speakerB. a good writer is always a good speakerC. a speechless person always writes wellD. a good writer will find himself speechless60. According to this passage, a student who listens attentively and takes notes in class ______.A. is an intelligent studentB. may not be an intelligent studentC. will score better in examsD. will not be a good student61.

The writer of this passage wants to tell us not to______.A. judge a book by its coverB. make the mistake of thinking a young man stupidC. overestimate a student’s intelligenceD. judge a person’s intelligence by his appe aranceCVisitors worry that London is an expensive city but therereally are so many things to do for free in London frommuseums and galleries to free music and walking tours.Art GalleriesTate Modern and Tate Britain are exceptional national artgalleries housing some of the finest artworks in the world.Tate Modern focuses on contemporary art while Tate Britaindisplays British Art from the sixteenth century to the present day. MuseumsAll of London's major museums are free, but most offer some special exhibitions for a fee. My favorite is the Museum of London where you can learn the history of London from Roman times to today. Other great major museums are the British Museum, the V&A, the Science Museum, and the Natural History Museum. Oh, and I love the Geffrye Museum. And the Horniman Museum. Now I can't decide which is the best!Many of London's major art galleries and museums are open in theevening and often have special evening events. This can be agreat way to relax at the end of a busy day seeing the sights.The main London galleries and museums are air-conditioned so itcan be wonderful way to cool down in the height of summer in thecity. Galleries and museums are not open late every night so hereis a handy list to help you plan your days and evenings.Royal ParksMany people say the Queen Mary's Rose Gardens in Regent's Park is their favorite spot in London, and who am I to argue? I would also recommend St. James's Park as it offers one of the best views of Buckingham Palace. Hyde Park is enormous and includes the ever popular Diana Memorial Fountain and the Peter Pan Statue.There are often free talks and guided walks in the royal parks so do check the What's On section of the Royal Parks website.Changing of the GuardNo visit to London is complete without seeing this military tradition.

Then the telephonerings，you say hello, and the drama starts．The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to．You are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness．It may not change what you think，but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time．Life brings ups and downs，but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer．They only feel glad when they make others feel bad．No won der they can hardly win others’ pity or respect．When you communicate with positive people，your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted．When the dagger(匕首) of a negative person is put in you，you feel the heavy feeling that all in all，brings you down．Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people．This could be a co-worker，or a relative．In this case，say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person，but all this is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that．Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized．The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to(附着) you throughout the rest of your day，which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness．Life is too short to feel negative．Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible．(350 words)The purpose of the first paragraph is to ______.A. make a comparisonB. introduce a topicC. offer an evidenceD. describe a daily sceneSome negative people base their happiness on _______.A. other people’s pity for themB. other people’s respect for themC. building up a positive attitudeD. making other people unhappy According to the passage, to reduce negative people’s influence on us，we are advised to ____.A. show our dissatisfaction to negative peopleB. communicate with negative people as little as possibleC. make negative people feel ashamed of themselvesD. cha nge negative people’s attitudes to life59. What is the author’s attitude towards negative people?A. Favorable．B. Indifferent.C. Critical.D. Supportive.BIn the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animals. This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I was sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don’t get to see this soft side of others. Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning(按喇叭)or evenshouting at me. At that moment, I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving I put on the flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to the other drivers, “I have a problem here, I am weak and doing the best I can.”And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.Sometimes weakness calls for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way. But those are few and far between. More often, it would be better if we don’t pretend to feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we’re scared.
