In early autumn I applied for admission to college. I wanted to go nowhere - 高中英语试题 - 超级试练试题库

     In early autumn I applied for admission to college. I wanted to go nowhere but to Cornell University,
but my mother fought strongly against it. When she saw me studying a photograph of my father on the
sports ground of Cornell,  she tore it up.
     "You can"t say it"s not a great university,  just because Papa went there."
     "That"s not it at all. And it is a top university." She was still holding the pieces in her hand. "But we
can"t afford to send you to college."
    "I wouldn"t dream of asking you for money. Do you want me to get a job to help support you and
Papa? Things aren"t that bad,  are they?"
    "No, " she said."I don"t expect you to help support us."
    Father borrowed money from his rich cousins to start a small jewellery shop. His chief customers
were his old college friends. To get new customers,  my mother had to help. She picked up a
longforgotten membership in the local league of women,  so that she could get to know more people.
Whether those people would turn into customers was another question. I knew that my parents had to
wait for quite a long time before their small investment(投资) could show returns. What"s more,  they
had not wanted enough to be rich and successful; otherwise they could not possibly have managed
their lives so badly.
     I was torn between the desire to help them and change their lives,  and the determination not to
repeat their mistakes. I had a strong belief in my power to get what I wanted. After months of hard study
I won a full college scholarship (奖学金). My father could  hardly contain his pride in me,  and my
mother eventually gave in before my success.                                      1. The author was not allowed to go to Cornell University mainly because________.A. his father graduated from the university
B. his mother did not think it a great university
C. his parents needed him to help support the family
D. his parents did not have enough money for him2. The father started his small shop with the money from________.A. a local league
B. his university
C. his relatives
D. his college friends3. Why did the mother renew her membership in the league? A. To help with her husband"s business.
B. To raise money for her son.
C. To meet her longforgotten friends.
D. To better manage her life.4. According to the text,  what was the author determined to do in that autumn?   A. To get a wellpaid job for himself.
B. To improve relations with his mother.
C. To go to his dream university.
D. To carry on with his father’s business.

完形填空    I will never forget the year I was about twelve years old. My mother told us that we would not be

orphans(孤儿)at the Christmas party. For every child,  we wrapped colorful packages filled with toys,
clothes,  and school supplies,    12   with a child"s name. We wanted all of them to know they were
  13   .  Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts,  I   14   them that they couldn"t
open their presents   15 every child had come forward. Finally,  the   16 they had been waiting for
came as I called out,  "One,  two,  three. Open your presents!"As the children opened their packages,
their faces beamed and their bright smiles   17 up the room. The   18 in the room was obvious,  and
   19 wasn"t just about toys. It was a feeling-the feeling I knew   20   that Christmas so long ago when
the women came to visit. I wasn"t forgotten. Somebody thought of me. I matter.

About ten years ago, a young and very successful businessman named Josh was traveling down
a Chicago neighborhood street. He was going a bit too fast in his shiny, black, 12 cylinder Jaguar
(美洲豹) XKE, which was only two months old. He was watching for kids rushing out from between
parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no child came
out, but a brick sailed out and - WHUMP! - It hit the Jag"s shiny black side door! SCREECH…!!!
Immediately Josh stopped the car, jumped out, seized the kid and pushed him up against a parked car.
He shouted at the kid, "What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?!"
Building up a head of steam, he went on. "That"s my new Jag, that brick you threw is gonna cost you
a lot of money. Why did you throw it?" "Please, mister, please…I"m sorry! I didn"t know what else to
do!" begged the youngster. "I threw the brick because no one else would stop!" Tears were streaming
down the boy"s face as he pointed around the parked car. "It"s my brother, mister," he said, "He rolled
of the curb(路沿) and fell out of his wheelchair and I can "t lift him up." Sobbing, the boy asked the
businessman, "Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He"s hurt and he"s too
heavy for me." Moved beyond words, the young businessman tried hard to swallow the rapidly swelling
lump in his throat. Straining, he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handker
chief and wiped the scrapers and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be OK. He then
watched the younger brother push him down the side - walk toward their home. It was a long walk
back to the black, shining 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE - a long and slow walk. Josh never did fix the side
door of his Jaguar. He kept the dent(凹痕)to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone
has to throw a brick at him to get his attention. Feel for the bricks of life coming at you.

完形填空

      I believe in miracles(奇迹)because I"ve seen so many of them. One day,   a patient was referred to
me who was one hundred and two years old. "There"s a__1__in my upper jaw,   "she said. "I told my
own dentist it"s nothing,   but he__2__I come to see you."
     Her eightyyearold son accompanied her. He would__3__to add something,   but she stopped him.
She wanted to tell everything herself. I found a large cancer that spread over much of the __4__of her
mouth. A careful examination later__5__that it was a particularly bad sort of cancer.
     During her next appointment,   I explained to her the__6__of the problem. She clasped my hand in
hers and said,   "I know you"re worried about me,   but I"m just__7__."
     I thought otherwise. After considerable__8__on my part,   and kindness on her part because she
wanted to__9__me,   she agreed to have me refer her to a cancer surgeon. She saw him,   but as I
expected,     10   treatment.
     About six months later she returned to my office,   still energetic and    11 .
     "How are you?" I asked.
     "I"m just fine,   honey,   " she responded  12   high spirits. "When can I get started on fixing my
dentures(假牙)?"
     Surprised to see her at all,   I answered  13 ,   "Let me take a look in your mouth and we"ll see
about it."
     I couldn"t believe my eyes. The cancer that had   14 nearly the entire roof of her mouth was
gone-only one small area of redness  15   .
     I had read of such things happening,   but had 16   seen them with my own eyes. That was my first
miracle. Since then I"ve seen many others,   because they keep getting  17 to see. In fact,   miracles
are daily events for me now. And people are a miracle,   18 through them we have a chance to know
ourselves and to  19 the miracles of one another.
     Since my first miracle,   I"ve come to understand that the time and place for a miracle is  2- we
choose to find it.
