阅读理解。 A sense of humor is just one of the many things shared by Alfred and A - 高中英语试题 - 超级试练试题库

阅读理解。     A sense of humor is just one of the many things shared by Alfred and Anthony Melillo, 64-year-old twin
brothers from East Haven who made history in February 2002. On Christmas Eve, 1992, Anthony had a heart
transplant from a 21-year-old donor. Two days before Valentine"s Day in 2002, Alfred received a 19-year-ok
heart, marking the first time on record that twin adults each received heart transplants.
     "I"m 15 minutes older than him, but now I"m younger because of my heart and I"m not going to respect
him," Alfred said with a grin, pointing to his brother while talking to a roomful of reporters. who laughed
frequently at their jokes.
     While the twins knew that genetics might have played a role in their condition,they recognized that their
eating habits might have also contributed to their heart problems. "We"d put half a pound of butter on a steak.
I overdid it on all the food that tasted good, so guess I deserved what I got for not dieting properly."
     The discussion moved to Anthony"s recovery. In the five years since his heart transplant, he had been on
an exercise program where he regularly rode a bicycle for five miles, swam each day, and walked a couple
of miles. He was still on medication, but not nearly as much as Alfred, who was just in the early stage of his
recovery.
     "Right now I feel pretty young and I"m doing very well," Anthony said. "I feel like a new person."
     Alfred said his goal, of course, was to feel even better than his brother. But, he added, "I love my brother
very much. We"re very close and I"m sure we"ll do just fine." 1. This article is mainly about _____. A. the danger of heart transplant surgery
B. becoming young by getting a new heart
C. the effect of" genetics on the heart
D. the twin brothers who received heart transplants 2. What did Alfred and Anthony have in common? A. Lifespan.
B. Career goals.
C. A sense of humor.
D. Love for bicycling. 3. What did Alfred and Anthony think caused their heart problems?

A. Exercise.
B. Diet.
C. Surgery.
D. Medicines.

4. Why did Alfred say, "I"m 15 minutes older than him, but now I"m younger because of my heart"? A. His heart transplant surgery was more successful than Anthony"s.
B. His recovery from the heart surgery was faster than Anthony"s.
C. His exercise program was better than Anthony"s.
D. His new heart was younger than Anthony"s.

阅读理解。 Anna arrived far too early. Usually she left things to the last minute, but today was a very special occasion
(场合). It was almost as if by getting there an hour beforehand that she hoped to cause the plane to arrive
sooner. Thoughts raced through her mind. "Do I look all right? Will he notice that I"m wearing a new suit? Will
he even recognize (认出) me?" After all, it was a year almost to the day since she had last seen Joe. She fished
a mirror out of her handbag and inspected her face. Too much make-up? Joe had never made any comment
but she knew that he did not approve of (赞成) heavy make-up-"gilding the lily (锦上添花)", he called it. It was
funny how much importance she attached to making a good impression on him. After all, friends do not judge
each other by appearance. All the same, it was the first meeting after a long separation, and she wanted
everything to go off right.
Looking out of the window, Joe caught a first glimpse, through a break in the clouds of the town far below.
This was his third visit, and looked like becoming an annual (每年的) event. Certainly it was very flattering (高
兴的) that they had invited him to be the guest lecturer at their Autumn Congress yet again. The Chairman of
the Organizing Committee, as a matter of courtesy, had offered to meet him at the airport, as he had done
previous occasions. This time, however, it was not necessary, partly because Joe was quite familiar with the
city, but mainly because Anna had said that she could take the afternoon off in order to come and meet him.1. Anna looked in her mirror because _____. A. she wanted to make a good impression on Joe
B. she knew that Joe disapproved of heavy make-up
C. she had too much make-up on
D. she wanted to check that her new suit was alright 2. Anna thought that Joe might not recognize her because _____. A. she was wearing a new suit
B. he had not seen her for about a year
C. he might expect someone else to meet him
D. she had changed a lot in the past year 3. When did Anna get to the airport?A. Shortly after the plane had arrived.
B. At the last possible minute.
C. Just before the plane was due to land.
D. About an hour earlier. 4. How many times had Joe been to this town? A. Three times before.
B. Twice before.
C. Four times.
D. Several times before. 5. Joe did not want the Chairman to meet him because _____.A. the Chairman was not willing to meet him
B. he was not sure which day he would travel
C. he feared that might cause a lot of trouble to the Chairman
D. he thought that Anna would be there to meet him

     I was driving home from a meeting this evening about 5, stuck in traffic on Colorado Blvd, and my car
started to choke and then died.
     I barely managed to walk into a gas station,   1   only that I would not be blocking traffic and would have
a somewhat   2   spot to wait for the tow truck (拖车). It wouldn"t even turn over. Before I could make the
   3 , I saw a woman walking out of the "quickie mart (快餐)" building, and it looked like she   4   on some
ice and fell into a gas pump! So I got out to   5   if she was okay. When I got there, it looked more like she
had been overcome by   6   than that she had   7 . She was a young woman who looked really haggard (憔

saying "I don"t want my kids to see me  10 ," so we stood on the  11  side of the pump from her car. She said
she was  12  to California and that things were very  13  for her right now.
     So, I asked, "And you were praying?" That made her  14  me a little,  15  I assured her I was not a crazy
person and said, "He heard you, and he sent me."
     I  16  my card and swiped it through the card reader on the pump so she could  17  her car completely,

阅读理解。
High school was wonderful, but I had always felt uncomfortable as one of the taller members of my class, standing a head above the other girls and stooping (弯腰) at the back of the line to avoid sticking out. I especially hated being around large groups of people like during the social hour after the church services. My grandfather would watch me grow increasingly uncomfortable, but he didn"t laugh at me or try to comfort me. Instead, he would warn me. "Stand straight and tall," he"d say, as I tried to shrink (退缩). And each time, I would obey him. Even at age 15, I understood that his advice was about more than just feet and inches. My grandfather grew up in war-torn Europe. When German soldiers took his hometown, the beautiful and exciting city of Tarnow, Poland, he joined the Soviet army for his country"s freedom. "Stand straight, stand tall," meant something else back then. I trusted my grandfather more than anyone else in my childhood. And whenever I was afraid of something, he would tell me stories of his life. After the war, he took a boat for America on January 27,1947. All alone in a new country, he was frightened about his future. Still, he marched head-on in the streets of New York. Soon he met other European immigrants, each of them trying to find his or her own way. If they could do it, why couldn"t he? "Stand straight, stand tall," he would told himself. At first my grandfather retused to enter an American church. He was angry with God for the loss of his whole family back in Europe. But soon he felt his self-confidence returning. When he walked into the church that first time, he walked in proudly.
1. Which can best serve as the title for the text?
A. Stand straight, stand tall B. My grandfather"s stories C. Height brought me trouble D. My unforgettable high school
2. The writer didn"t like attending social activities because _____.
A. her grandfather didn"t allow her to attend B. other people didn"t like making friends with her C. her height made her feel uncomfortable D. she thought she was too young to join in
3. The part "his advice was about more than just feet and inches." underlined in Paragragh 4 means that her grandfather advised her _____.
A. to grow up quickly B. not to worry about height C. to pay attention to her body shape D. to be brave and proud
