阅读下面短文并回答问题。 [1] The air we breathe is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet without it we could not survive more than a few minutes. For the most part, the same air is available to everyone, and everyone needs it. Some people use the air to sustain them while they sit around and feel sorry for themselves. Others breathe in the air and use the energy it provides to make a magnificent life for themselves. [2] Opportunity is just the same. It is everywhere. Opportunity is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet opportunity alone is not enough to create success. Opportunity must be seized and acted upon in order to have value. So many people are so anxious to “get in” on a “ground floor opportunity”, as if the opportunity will do all the work. That’s impossible. [3] Just as , you need opportunity to succeed. It takes more than just breathing in the fresh air of opportunity, however. You must make use of that opportunity.’’ That’s not up to the opportunity. That’s up to you. It doesn’t matter what “floor” the opportunity is on. What matters is what you do with it. 小题1:What is the main idea of the passage?

解析
试题分析:文章阐述了要充分利用机会这样一个道理。空气无处不在且容易获得,这让我们往往会忽视空气的存在。机会就像空气一样无处不在,我们应该充分利用机会来获得成功。 小题1:根据第二段“Opportunity must be seized and acted upon in order to have value.”和第三段“You must make use of that opportunity”可知,机会就像空气一样无处不在,但是我们要抓住机会并充分利用它们,才能获得成功。故填We must make use of opportunities. 小题2:根据第一段“Some people use the air to sustain them while they sit around and feel sorry for themselves.”可知,应填feel sorry for themselves 小题3:根据第一段和第二段可知,作者把机会比作了空气,人们需要呼吸空气才能生存;同样,人们需要机会才能成功。故填you need air to breathe。 小题4:根据第一段“Others breathe in the air and use the energy it provides to make a magnificent life for themselves.”可知,我们应该利用空气提供给我们的能量去创造生命的奇迹,而不应该虚度光阴。故填We should use the energy it provides to make a magnificent life. 小题5:根据最后一段“It doesn’t matter what “floor” the opportunity is on. What matters is what you do with it.”可知,机会在什么地方不重要,重要的是你是否利用了机会。故填The opportunity. |

Ugly, a male cat, loved three things in this world: fighting, eating garbage, and, shall we say, love. To start with, he had only one eye and where the other should have been was a big hole. He was also missing his ear on the same side, and his left foot appeared to have been badly broken at one time, making him look like he was always turning the corner. Every time someone saw Ugly there was the same reaction.“That’s one UGLY cat!”So, all the children were warned not to touch him. The adults threw rocks at him. Whenever he was treated badly, he would curl his thin body around feet in forgiveness or begged for love. One day Ugly shared his love with the neighbor’s dog. The dog"s owner did not respond kindly. From my apartment I could hear his screams, and I tried to rush to his aid. By the time I got to where he was lying, it was apparent Ugly’s sad life was almost at an end. As I picked him up and tried to carry him home, I could hear his heavy breath, and could feel him struggling. It must be hurting him terribly. However, Ugly, in so much pain, suffering and obviously dying, was trying to get closer to me. He turned his one golden eye towards me, and even in the greatest pain Ugly was asking only for a little affection. At that time I thought Ugly was the most beautiful, loving creature I had ever seen. Never once did he try to bite or scratch me, or even try to get away from me. Ugly just looked up at me completely trusting in me to relieve his pain. Ugly died in my arms before I could get inside, but I sat and held him for a long time afterwards. Ugly taught me more about giving and compassion than a thousand books, lectures, or talk show specials ever could, and for that I will always be thankful. It is time for me to learn to love truly and deeply. 小题1:What reaction did people have when they saw Ugly? (No more than 8 words ) (2 marks) 小题2:Why did the author try to rush to help him? (No more than 5 words) (2 marks) 小题3:What did the author think about the cat when it suffered from much pain?

Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet. Most American school have boys and girls in the same classroom. But a public high school in the small, rural town of Boonsboro, Maryland, offers a special program. Top students in the ninth and tenth grades can attend single-sex classes for math, science, English and social studies. The aim is to help teenagers keep their minds on their work by keeping males and females apart. Rebecca Brown chooses the students for what Boonsboro High School calls the Academy. Placement in the Academy is voluntary. Students are invited after middle school. They need high marks and test scores and strong teacher recommendations. They also need to be involved in activities. Michael Bair has been at Boonsboro High for twenty years and directs the Academy. His ninth-grade English class for boys centres on books that he believes boys find interesting. He says, “The novels they"re reading now are very manly novels. They"re novels that deal with the arrogance(傲慢) of man and the pride of man.” Morgan Van Fleet is a senior at Boonsboro High. She likes being in the Academy. She says boys and girls act differently when they are together in the classroom. She says, “To me, it almost seems like preventing your chances of developing yourself because you’re more focused on ‘Oh, I wish they"d shut up. Oh, what do they think of me?’, instead of focusing on ‘What"s the homework? What"s going on in this class? Or what"s the lesson?""" There is one activity that girls and boys in the Academy do together. At the end of the day, many of them stay and help tutor(辅导) students who are having trouble in school. 小题1:Why does this high school offer such a program?

After getting here, her large family worked hard to build a new life in America. They neverhad much money but were rich in love. One day, when I was about 5 or 6 years old, my parents and brothers went on a trip. It was just me and Nanny in the house for the weekend. Nanny seemed so happy to be taking care of me all by herself. She made me a special breakfast that first morning. However, all I could do was to complain about how the food was not how Mom always made it. Nanny quietly put down the plate and went into the living room. I followed a minute later and saw that she had tears in her eyes. It was the first time I had ever seen my strong and proud grandmother cry and I was the one who had caused it I walked over to Nanny, climbed on her lap, and for the first time in my short life I did something else too. I apologized without being told to and asked Nanny to forgive me. She smiled, rubbed my head, and told me I was a good boy even though I didn"t feel like one then.

阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。 Each spring brings a new blossom of wildflowers in the ditches (路沟) along the highway I travel daily to work. There is one particular blue flower that has always caught my eye. I"ve noticed that it blooms only in the morning hours, the afternoon sun is too warm for it. Every day for approximately two weeks, I see those beautiful flowers. This spring, I started a wildflower garden in our yard. I can look out of the kitchen window while doing the dishes and see the flowers. I"ve often thought that those lovely blue flowers from the ditch would look great in that bed alongside other wildflowers. Everyday I drove past the flowers thinking, “I’ll stop on my way home and dig them.” “Gee, I don’t want to get my good clothes dirty...” Whatever the reason, I never stopped to dig them. My husband even gave me a folding shovel(钎) one year to be used for that expressed purpose. One day on my way home from work, I was saddened to see that the highway department had mowed the ditches and the pretty blue flowers were gone. I thought to myself, “Way to go, you waited too long. You should have done it when you first saw them blooming this spring.” A week ago we that my oldest sister-in-law has a terminal brain tumor(脑瘤晚期). She is 20 years older than my husband and unfortunately, because of age and distance, we haven’t been as close as we all would have liked. I couldn’t help but see the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my husband"s sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some wonderful memories that will bloom every year for us. And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, you can bet I’ll stop and transplant them to my wildflower garden. 小题1:What’s the best title of the passage?
