My work as a woman photographer was considered as a serious shame to local traditions. The man-ruled job made me feel unwelcome by all possible means. They made it clear that a woman must not do a man‘s job. Photo agencies in Gaza refused to train me.Three of my co-workers went as far as to drive me to an open air strike(空袭)area where explosions(爆炸)were the only thing I could hear. I only realized we weren‘t there to document (记录)the event when the three of them got back into the armored(装甲)Jeep and drove away, waving and laughing, leaving me behind in the open air strike zone.For a moment, I fel t terrified, ashamed, and sorry for myself…I started paying closer attention to women‘s lives in Gaza. As a woman, I could go where myco-workers were forbidden to go. Beyond the obvious pain and suffering, there were healthy amounts of laughter and joy.In front of a police station in Gaza City, an Israeli air strike destroyed the station and broke my nose. For a moment, all I saw was bright white. I thought I had either gone blind or I was in heaven. By the time I managed to open my eyes, I had documented this moment.Mohammed Khader is a Palestinian worker who spent two decades in Israel. When he retired, he built a four-floor house. But his house was destroyed in this air strike. Nothing was left but a bathtub. Mohammed put the bathtub on the top of the ruins and started giving his kids a bubble bath every morning.My work is not meant to hide the scars of war, but to show the full unseen stories of Gazans. As a Palestinian female photographer, the journey of struggle, survival and everyday life has inspired me to overcome the community taboo(禁忌)and see a different side of war and its aftermath. I became a witness with a choice: to run away or stand still.1. The author was not welcome by her co-workers in the Gaza Strip because ________.A. she hadn‘t r eceived the training offered by the photo agencyB. the local traditions didn‘t allow a woman to do a man‘s jobC. her co-workers were going to take part in the battleD. she was terrified of explosions in the air strike area2.

The author used Mohammed Khader as an example to show __________.A. there was pain as well as laughter during the warB. how dangerous the surroundings were in GazaC. she could document common people‘s lives at the warD. how the war had influenced her life4. From the passage, it can be inferred that the author _________.A. woul dn‘t like to reveal the cruel side of warB. had to leave Gaza because of the community tabooC. decided to document more unseen scenes in the warD. was determined to run away from the war in Gaza【答案】BAAC【解析】【试源】2015-2016学年湖北省武汉华中师范大学第一附属中学高一上学期期中考试英语试题【结束】3.【题文】I use the public library weekly and on the shelf at this moment is The Child in Time, a novel about a three-year-old girl taken away by force and the disclosing of her parents‘ marriage—guilt, anger, grief, loneliness. I‘m a quarter of the way through this tidy novel but may return it to the library unfinished. Words are underlined in pencil by one of the previous readers who, I suspect, was trying to improve her vocabulary.The underlined words have stopped my progress and not because of annoyance. As a poet,sometimes searching for the right words myself, I began to consider the author of these pencil strikes. She was female, near my age (early 60s), and thoughtful about the years lost on a no-good husband. Like the graceful (优雅的) pencil marks, she was controlled in every way—touch, voice, makeup, and clothes. Perhaps a nurse attracted to the novel‘s theme? Or an inexperienced bookworm on her way to the morning shift by bus?I gave her the details of a life story, but one fact remained: A reader had underlined words. In doing so, she had accepted the view that learning doesn‘t end. She might have been a mail carrier(this is how I saw her by page 180), but she was not about to give up, now capped with gray hair.There are thousands of words we don‘t know, seen in print or heard in conversation. We can just let them go, and be none the worse because of it. But we can also give new words a try. The attempts are interesting.I might finish the novel—it‘s very good, after all. But as I read, I can‘t help thinking of the previous reader—nurse or mail carrier. She turned the page and, through reading glasses as thick as mine, made marks on her self-improvement.1. What do we know about the girl in the novel The Child in Time?A. She was upset because of wearing thick glasses.B. She was cheated at home by her parents.C. She grew up in a family lacking love and care.D. She loved to read novels at an early age.2. How did the underlined words affect the author?A. They have encouraged her to go on reading the novel.B. They have made her annoyed and she‘s stopped reading.C. She is determined to be a graceful reader like the former one.D. She began to imagine what the former reader is like.3. What does the passage say about the author?A. She‘s in her 60‘s and doesn‘t have a good family life.B. She has been interested in literature since childhood.C. She goes to work at the post office each morning by bus.D. She wants to become a attractive nurse through learning.4. What does the author think about new words she meets?A. They should be ignored to avoid feeling worse.B. By learning new words she can improve herself.C. She may give up reading because of the new words.D. They suggest how graceful and lonely the writer is.【答案】CDAB【解析】【试源】2015-2016学年湖北省武汉华中师范大学第一附属中学高一上学期期中考试英语试题【结束】4.【题文】Imagine this. You are visiting a beautiful mountain somewhere in the countryside.

It could be any event in your life. Perhaps your meeting at work did not go as well as you expected. Your new job was not what you expected. Maybe your relationship did not work out the way you hoped it would.Disappointments are dissatisfactions that arise when your expectations are not met byoutcomes. In short, a) you had an expectation, b) things did not unfold against the expectation.Every day, people deal with disappointments. Depending on how big the disappointment is and how you choose to deal with it, the feeling of disappointment may disappear after a short while or hang over your life for an extended period of time. If not handled properly, disappointments can lead to depression and eventually lack of concern.Contrary to what people may think, disappointments are actually positive phenomena, for two main reasons.1. Passion toward a causeDisappointment is the reflection of your passion toward something, whether it is a certain goal, dream, desire or outcome. Wherever there is a cause, there will be an effect--- in this case, the passion is the cause and disappointment is the effect. If you don‘t care about something, you wouldn‘t be feeling disappointed, would you? The very presence of disappointment suggests that this is something you care about so much that you would feel bad over it. The higher your disappointment, the stronger your passion for this is.As Martin Luther King Jr puts it, “There can be no deep disappointment where there is not deep love.”This deep love is what drives you toward your goals, dreams and desires. This deep love will be what fuels you in life, bringing you to places you have never been before. This deep love is what makes life worth living. Remember that disappointment is always a better emotional state than neutrality where the individual feels indifferent toward anything. I would much rather be feeling a negative emotion any day than feeling absolutely nothing. The ability to feel is what sets us apart from non-living beings. To feel nothing is to be a robot or a machine.2. Representing an opportunity for progressDisappointment also signals an opportunity for progress and growth. If you are disappointed in an outcome, it means there is actually a certain error in your framework of thought which needs correcting.Whenever you are disappointed, it means you have certain mental illusions (错觉) about reality which you need to address. If your understanding of reality are always right, you will never feel disappointed at all. By correcting your illusions and getting a more accurate picture of the reality, you are equipped with more knowledge. This knowledge is a source of power, power for you to act toward your goals.Think of disappointment as a troubleshooting tool which helps you iron out the twists in your understanding of reality. By using the knowledge from your previous experience, you can act more accurately toward your desires. The more you deal with disappointment and learn from it,【答案】1 Definition/Meaning/Concept 2. improperly 3. phenomena 4. reflects5.Passion6. better7. from8. signal9. corrected 10. understand【解析】【试源】2015-2016学年江苏省高邮市高二上学期期中调研英语试题【结束】8.【题文】Dentists often ask questions when it is possible to answer.
