阅读理解。Dear God, Now that I am no longer young, I have friends whose mothers - 高中英语试题 - 超级试练试题库

阅读理解。Dear God,
     Now that I am no longer young, I have friends whose mothers have passed away. I have heard these
sons and daughters say they never fully appreciated their mothers until it was too late to tell them.
     I am blessed with the dear mother who is still alive. I appreciate her more each day. My mother does
not change, but I do. As I grow older and wiser, I realize what an extraordinary person she is. How sad
that I am unable to speak these words in her presence, but they flow easily from my pen.
     How does a daughter begin to thank her mother for life itself? For the love, patience and just plain hard
work that go into raising a child? For running after a toddler, for understanding a moody teenager, for
tolerating a college student who knows everything? For waiting for the day when a daughter realizes how
wise her mother really is?
     How does a grown woman thank a mother for continuing to be a mother? For being ready with advice
(when asked) or remaining silent when it is most appreciated? For not saying:"I told you so", when she
could have said these words dozens of times? For being essentially herself-loving, thoughtful, patient, and
forgiving?
     I don"t know how, dear God, except to bless her as richly as she deserves and to help me live up to the
example she has set. I pray that I will look as good in the eyes of my children as my mother looks in mine.
     A daughter 1. What is the best title of the passage? [     ]

A. A thief who broke into a house.
B. A child who has only recently learnt to walk.
C. A teenager who has entered college.
D. A child who has only recently learnt to speak. 3. What can you know from the passage? [     ]
A. The author"s mother used to say "I told you so" before her children.
B. The author"s mother used to be very strict with her children.
C. The author"s mother used to become angry from time to time.

完形填空。      I consider myself something of an expert on apologies. A quick temper has   1   me with plenty of
opportunities to make them. In one of my earliest   2  , my mother is telling me, "Don"t watch the   3
when you say "I"m sorry". Hold your head up and look the person in the   4  , so he"ll know you   5   it."
     My mother thus made the key point of a(n)   6   apology: it must be direct. You must never   7   to
be doing something else. You do not   8   a pile of letters while apologizing to a person   9   in position
after blaming him or her for a mistake that turned out to be your  10 . You do not apologize to a hostess,
whose guest of honor you treat  11 , by sending flowers the next day without mentioning your bad  12 .
     One of the important things you should do for an  13  apology is readiness to  14  the responsibility
for our careless mistakes. We are used to making excuses, which leaves no  15  for the other person to
  16  us. Since most people are open-hearted, the no-excuse apology leaves both parties feeling  17  about
themselves. That, after all, is the  18  of every apology. It  19  little whether the apologizer is wholly or
only partly at fault: answering for one"s  20  encourages others to take their share of the blame.

Hi, Antonio,
     I read your blog and guess what? Now I have a summer job with my neighbor moving their lawn and
doing work around their house and I am getting paid. I do the same work at my house but the pay is better
at the neighbor"s. Have a great summer, man!
                                                                                                                                  Posted by: Jack
Dear Antonio,
     My son is 15 and he has been begging for a summer job. Do you know of any place that hires children
of that age?
                                                                                                                                Posted by: Vallery
Hi, Antonio,
     I am 13 years old and trying to earn money to take a trip with my chorus to Hawaii. I am willing to do any
work at any hour during the summer.                                                                   Posted by Ashley Jordan
Hi, Antonio,
     I am 19 years old, a college student and I am looking for a summer job. Does anyone know somewhere that
is hiring? I have been looking for two weeks now.
                                                                                                                              Posted by: Erica Allen
Dear Antonio,
     My daughter is working in the file room at the law firm I work for and I am very happy that we were able
to get her on. My concern is that she wouldn"t have got the summer job if I had not "known" people. What
about kids whose parents do not know someone?
                                                                                                                                   Posted by: Tracy
Hi, Antonio,
     I found my summer job on my own and my parents are so proud of me because I did it on my own. That

     If you wish to become a better reader, here are four important points to remember about rate, or speed,
of reading:
     1. Knowing why you are reading-what you are reading to find out-will often help you to know whether
to read rapidly or slowly.
     2. Some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are directions for making or doing something,
arithmetic problems, science and history books, which are full of important information. You must read such
things slowly to remember each important step and understand each important idea.
     3. Some things should be read rapidly throughout. Examples are simple stories meant for enjoyment, news,
and letters from friends, items, or bits of news from local, or hometown, paper, telling what is happening to
friends and neighbors.
     4. In some of your readings, you must change your speed from fast to slow to fast, as you go along. You
need to read certain pages rapidly and then slow down and do more careful readings when you come to
important ideas which must be remembered.

     August has always been difficult for me. It is the time when I realize that the books my English teacher
assigned to me are not going to read themselves and that I have a difficult month in front of me.
     You might think that I don"t want to spend my summer reading, but that"s not the problem: I love reading.
On the first day of my summer holidays this year, I went to the library and got "A Gathering of Old Men" by
African-American writer Ernest Gaines. I enjoyed it very much. I read all the magazines that my parents
subscribe to and spend about 30 minutes every day with the morning paper. So why do I hate summer reading
for school? Because the books on summer reading lists are often slow-going and just uninviting. Teachers and
librarians don"t understand that summer reading can be entertaining as well as educational. They choose books
that a friend of my mother"s calls "spinach books": good for you, but not much fun to take in. Every summer,
I read them, hate them and get bitter about the experience.
     This bitterness started three years ago when I was about to begin high school. As preparation, my English
teacher told me to read "The Age of Innocence" by American author Edith Wharton. I"m sure there are many
people who enjoyed "The Age of Innocence"-some might even say it"s their favorite book.
     But I don"t think any of these people read it as a 14-year-old boy on his summer vacation.
     "The Age of Innocence" is the story of a forbidden romance in New York 100 years ago. At 14, my only
experience with romance was my love for baseball. I couldn"t imagine being in love, much less being in love
in 1900. "The Age of Innocence" was totally different to my life.
     Most of my required summer reading has been like that-books written in a style that plays up the adjectives
and plays down the verbs. I guess teachers don"t think exciting plots make for "good literature". To me, though,
a good writer describes events and characters in a way that makes the reader want to know what happens next.
     If I were making up a summer reading list, it would include "The Friends of Eddie Coyle" by George V.
Higgins, "The Right Stuff" by Tom Wolfe, and "Into Thin Air" by Jon Krakauer. These are all books that have
literary value but, just as important, can also entertain kids on vacation. If the teachers could stand a little fun
in the books they assign, my Augusts would be a lot more enjoyable.

1. The author thinks he will have a difficult August because _____.

[ ]

A. he doesn"t like reading in summer vacation
B. he hates the English teacher assigning homework
C. he is to read the books boring and not right for kids
D. he hates August

2. What can make students interested in August reading ought to be _____.

[ ]

A. romantic
B. out of date
C. pure
D. entertaining and educational

3. The author listed such books as "The Friends of Eddie Coyle" because he thinks _____.

[ ]

A. they can change his opinion
B. he can learn a lot more from them
C. they are of literary value, and enjoyable
D. he has to do as teachers tell him to

4. In the opinion of the author of this passage, a good writer should be one who _____.

[ ]

A. uses a way of describing that makes the reader wish to know what to happen next
B. describes events and characters in different ways
C. is learned
D. is full of imagination

5. Which of the following could be the best title of this passage?

[ ]

A. I Don"t Like Reading on the Vacation
B. Why Can"t Teachers Set Us Fun Books?
C. Teachers, Don"t Set Us Any Reading Assignments
D. Teachers, Set Us Free
