1.A 联系空后的“and I even got a scholarship to a really good __2__ (college)”我们知道,因为成绩优异,“我”考上了好大学。
2.C 前面说了自己在中学的表现,再联系空前的“got a scholarship”,我们知道,“我”得了奖学金,上了一所好大学。其他选项中,score指“分数”,degree指“程度”,grade指“年级”。
3.D 联系下文的“I was so shy that I had a hard time talking to people.”我们知道,“我”性格内向,不善交际,不善于交朋友。
4.B 联系前文“我”不善于交朋友,性格内向,我们知道,“我”不适应环境。fit in的意思是“适应好”。其他选项中,move out意为“迁出”,keep up意为“保持”,get along意为“相处;进展”。
5.C 联系空后的“getting into trouble”以及被赶出学校,我们知道,“我”开始逃课。

7.A 联系下文“We weren't kids anymore and the only thing we __10__(cared about)was the streets.”我们知道,“我”与其他闲散青年一起在街上闲荡。
8.B 联系前后文我们知道,“我”上了大学,而这些人是闲散人员。现在“我”与这些跟“我”机遇不同的人逛荡。
9.A 联系前文的“We lived in poor neighborhoods”我们知道,作者在这里讲述环境对自己的影响。从后文的“I was looking up to the__11__(wrong)people”我们也可以得出答案提示。
10.D 联系空前的“the only thing”我们可以推断出,“我”所在乎的是大街上的人们。其他选项中,wander about意为“游荡”,live by意为“住在旁边”,suffer from意为“受……之苦”。
11.A 联系下文自己两次进监狱我们知道,“我”在大街上只是找那些与自己臭味相投的人,因此是wrong people。
12.C 联系空前的“couldn't even recognize myself”我们知道,“我”自己再也不认识自己了。
13.C 联系“I went to prison.Twice.”我们知道,两次入狱,“我”从没有想到能见到家人。
14.D 空前后为转折关系。
15.A 联系下文的“I suddenly felt so __17__ (grateful) to be home.”我们知道,现在与家人在一起。C和D均有一定的干扰性,文中没有提到作者的妻子或者孩子,因此可以排除。
16.B 联系空前的“in the hospital”我们知道,作者在讲述自己遭遇最困难时期的时候,因此这里讲述自己住院和进监狱都没有哭过。
17.B 联系“to be home”以及“My heart finally opened up and that __18__ (fear) of being abandoned was gone.”我们知道,家人接纳了自己,自己很感激。
18.D 空前有“My heart finally opened up”,空后有“of being abandoned was gone”,因此这里指对别人放弃自己的担心。
19.C 文章最后一句就是作者给出的建议,他觉得这是自己认识到的最好的建议了。
20.B 显然,在别人为你决定前,你首先要决定自己成为什么样的人。
三 阅读理解
A【原创】
One evening I was on my daily evening return from London to my home. I had got into the habit of sitting in the last carriage at the platform, so I could get off near to the station exit at my end.
One evening before getting off the train, I found a purse. I opened the purse and thought this must be my lucky day, for the purse contained some £80 in cash. Looking further into the purse, I found credit cards, and house keys and a name and address. My first thought when seeing the cash was to pocket it, and throw the other contents away.
Now I am not a basically dishonest person, but had developed a hardened attitude over the years that most people were dishonest in some way, and my own personal experience had been that whenever I lost anything of value, that was the last I ever saw of it. And since I was a construction worker at that time, I had been the victim of a great deal of stealing during my working life.
Almost as I read the name and address, I had a picture of that woman being struck with terror, when she realized she had lost her purse, and could not get into her home, had no money, and, would have thoughts of someone spending on her credit cards, not to mention the trouble of canceling all the cards.
In that same moment I decided to hand the purse over to the train guard. So I told him I would like to see it returned to its rightful owner. He told me it would be sent to the lost property office. I arrived at my station and started to walk the five minute journey to my home all the while feeling very pleased with myself that I was going to bring a great deal of happiness to someone I did not know.
1. The author liked to sit in the last carriage because ______.
A. sitting in the last carriage was safer.
B. he was always almost late for his train.
C. he could get out of the station sooner after getting off.
D. he likes chatting with the train guards there.
2. What can we know from the Paragraph 3?
A. The author thinks he is a dishonest person in nature.
B. The author thinks not all the people are honest all the time.
C. The author often lost things in the past.
D. The author always got his lost things of great value back.
3. Which of the following in the purse attracted the author most?
A. The cash
B. The house keys
C. Credit cards
D. The name and address of the owner
4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The owner of the purse is one friend of the author’s.
B. The author often did some stealing during his work time in the past.
C. The author’s feeling guilty at heart urged him to return the purse.
D. The author’s house is near the station.
5. How did the author deal with the purse at last?
A. He took it to the lost property office.
B. He put it into his pocket and took it home.
C. He took it to the home of the owner in person.
D. He handed it over to a train guard.
解析:
1. C。细节理解题。根据第一段的“... so I could get off near to the station exit at my end”可知作者下车后能够更快地出站,所以C项正确。
2. B。推理判断题。根据本段可知,作者认为“在某些方面,多数人也是不诚实的”,所以B项所述与之相吻合。
3. A。细节理解题。根据第二段,可知作者发现捡到的钱包里有现金时,认为自己那天很幸运,并且打算扔掉其它的所有物品,把现金占为已有。所以根据这些不难推断出最使作者动心的就是钱包里的“现金”,故选A。
4. D。细节理解题。根据最后一段第四句“I arrived at my station and started to walk the five minute journey to my home”可知终点站离作者的家只有五分钟的距离,即二者相距并不远,所以D项正确;根据文章最后一句可知钱包的失主并非是作者的朋友,所以A项表述错误;B项所述是对第三段最后一句的误解;根据倒数第二段可知是作者内心的“善良”而不是他的“负罪感”促使他归还所捡到的钱包,所以C项表述错误。
5. D。细节理解题。根据最后一段的第一、三两句可知作都把钱包交给了乘警,然后乘警再把钱包送到失物招领处,所以D项为正确答案。
B
【重庆八中2012-2013学年度(下)半期考试高一年级英 语 试 题】
Despite organized anti-bottled-water campaigns across the country and a noisy debate about bottled water’s environmental effect, Americans are buying more bottled water than ever.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why do so many people seem to think they should have any input on what other Americans choose to buy or do?
If they want to buy bottled water, let them.
If they want to eat fast food, let them.
If they want to smoke pot, let them.
----Barackalypse
People just get tired of paying for others’ bad behavior. If many people eat too much fast food, you pay higher insurance bill. If many people frequently buy bottled water, your trash bills go up and landfills (垃圾堆) fill up quickly.
It’s about personal responsibility, which really should be a basis of our society.
----Bdbr
So? This is the price you pay to live in a free society. You want to control the life of another just so you can save a little money? What would you say when someone do the same to you?
----Norman619
I’m just glad there are still people who still believe personal responsibility is a good thing. We make your life cheaper and less bothersome.
----Yoyo
What a waste of money. It’s fine when you’re on the road and you need a cold drink, but people who buy cases of bottled water for home are pletely crazy.
----Agmlauncher
I wish we all can find a way to improve things and benefit from this. The environment needs a lot of help but businesses will always work on what people would need and demand. Is this part of the trade-off? Hope we can find better ways.
----Skipweis
65. Which of the following is TRUE about bottled water in America?
A. US bottled water sales have increased for the first time.[来源:学|科|网]
B. Activists in some regions have been fighting against it.
C. Some people worry about its bad effect on environment.
D. Americans are drinking less bottled water than before.
66. Who would agree with Barackalypse on this matter?
A. Bdbr B. Norman619 C. Yoyo D. Agmlauncher
67. According to the text, Agmlauncher is _____ bottled water.
A. strongly for B. extremely against
C. partly supportive of D. not concerned with
68. Which of the following statements will go with Skipweis’ opinion?
A. People’s demand for bottled water is to blame.
B. Environment is more important than business.
C. At present we can’t benefit form bottled water at all.
D. It’s necessary to figure out solutions to the conflict.
65.【答案】B
【试题解析】细节理解题,较易。解答此题要注意选项与原文事实的细微差别。第一段提到“…a noisy debate about bottled water’s environmental effect”可知有些人担心瓶装水对环境的坏影响,C与此一致,故为答案。A项“美国瓶装水的销售第一次增长”在文章中未提及,文中第一段只是说“美国人买瓶装水比以前要多”,故可排除A项;B项“一些地区的环境保护活动分子一直反对瓶装水”,而原文第一句是“across the country”,故B不正确;D项“美国人比以前喝的瓶装水更少了”,与原文第一段意思相反,故可排除。
66. 【答案】B
【试题解析】细节理解题,较易。根据题干的关键词“Barackalypse”定位于第二至第五段,这几段说到“Barackalypse”的主要观点是“赞成买瓶水”,与其观点相同的是“Norman619”,故选B。
67. 【答案】C
【试题解析】细节理解题,较易。根据题干的关键词“Agmlauncher”定位于第十段,这段说到“买瓶装水是浪费钱。在路上要喝瓶装冷饮还说得过去,在家就是完全疯了。”可知其“部分赞成买瓶装水”,故选C。
68. 【答案】D
【试题解析】细节理解题,较易。根据题干的关键词“Skipweis”定位于第十一段。D项“有必要想出解决这(环保与商家的)冲突”是“The environment needs a lot of help but businesses…in a better ways.”的同义转述,故为正确答案。
C
【黑龙江省海林市高级中学2012-2013学年高一下学期期中考试英语试题】
When my daughter was in the fifth grade, she came home from school almost every night with three or more hours of homework. It was my duty to help her get it done. One night she worked until midnight doing her homework.
I felt annoyed, but I didn’t want the teacher to think I was lazy. So I never complained. I wasn’t sure, but it seemed to me that five hours of homework was a bit too much for a fifth grade student.
Later, I found out that parents and educators have discussed about homework for more than a century. Parents who like more homework want to give their children every advantage to succeed in today’s world. Some educators see homework as a way to help students perform better in tests.
Other parents dislike the recent trend toward more homework. They don’t want to stay up until midnight helping their children. They would prefer to spend their time going to the park or reading some really good books with their children. Added to the opposition(反对)are those who say that homework increases the gap(差距)between the rich and the poor. That’s because middle class families do better when it comes to helping their children with their homework.
So, who is right? Is homework an enemy or a help? According to experts, the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
60. The author thought that her daughter’s homework _________.
A. was too difficult
B. was too much to finish
C. was done more carefully than other students’
D. could be done as long as she helped her daughter[来源:学科网]

A. she was too angry to talk with the teacher.
B. she did not like complaining.
C. she was afraid of being thought lazy by the teacher.

A. think middle school students should do lots of homework.
B. haven’t come up with any idea to solve this problem.
C. think homework should be given, but not too much.
D. support the idea that homework is good for students.
60.【答案】B
【试题解析】文章第二段but it seemed to me that five hours of homework was a bit too much for a fifth grade student(对我来说五小时的作业对于一个五年级的学生来说太多了)。选项A. was too difficult(太难);B. was too much to finish(太多要完成);
C. was done more carefully than other students’( 要比其他学生做得更仔细地);D. could be done as long as she helped her daughter(能被做的,只要她帮助她的女儿)故。选的是B项。
61.【答案】C
【试题解析】 从文章第二段第一句I felt annoyed, but I didn’t want the teacher to think I was lazy. So I never complained(我感到烦恼,但是我不想让老师认为我很懒。所以我从不发牢骚)。 说明我不发牢骚的原因是怕老师认为我很懒,可知答案是C。
62.【答案】C
【试题解析】从文章最后一句According to experts, the truth lies somewhere in the middle,说明专家的观点是居中的,不是太多也不是太少,可知答案是C。
