I look at the 40-year-old photograph and see him so 8 , but of course he would 9 have a chance to grow old. The last time I talked to him was 10 my father was in Florida on business, and felt chest pains, he just told me not to 11 , he was fine.
So what 12 did I learn when he died of a heart attack at 59?Life goes by fast, don’t waste a moment, tell the ones you love 13 you feel, and show affection every chance you get.
I am still gripping(紧握)the photograph and 14 .My daughter, not sure what to do, puts her arms around my shoulders and tries to 15 me.
“I know you 16 him,” she says to me.
And I do. Still. Every day.
It’s okay to feel this 17 .You can’t have an up without a down, a back without a front—or a happy without a sad. This is the 18 you pay for having a great father. You get the 19 , the tender moments—and you get the tears at the end, too.
My father is worth the tears. And if your father is worth them, let him 20 .

7.B 从句末either一词可知选cry。

20.B 作者推己及人, 告诫读者 “我的父亲值得我为之抛洒眼泪, 如果你的父亲也值得你这样, 那么请你在他还在世时让他知道 (know) ”。
阅读理解【原创】
A
African leaders are meeting in Chad to push the idea of planting a tree belt across Africa from Senegal in the west to Djibouti in the east.
The Great Green Wall project is supported by the African Union and is aimed at stopping the advancing Sahara Desert. The belt would be 15km (nine miles) wide and 7,775km (4,831 miles) long. The plan, worked out five years ago, has not started because of a lack of funding and some experts worry it would not be maintained properly.
The BBC's Tidiane Sy in Senegal says the plan has the full support of Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade, who is in Chad with 10 other heads of state to discuss desertification（沙漠化）. His government has created the website serving the Great Green Wall. But our reporter says many other leaders seem ready to forget the project.
The trees should be "drought-adapted species", preferably native to the areas planted, the Great Green Wall website says, listing 37 suitable species. The plan says it hopes the trees will slow soil loss; slow wind speeds and help rain water leak into the ground, to stop the desert from growing. Senegal says it has spent about $2m (￡1.35m) on it and communities are being encouraged to plant trees.
The BBC's former Chad journalist Celeste Hicks says older people in N'Djamena - where the conference is being held - talk about how the capital city has become a dustbowl（干旱尘暴区）over the last 20 years as the Sahara Desert has stricken southwards. The country has made efforts to plant a green belt of trees around the capital, and tens of thousands of young trees are being grown in nurseries（苗圃）on the suburbs of the city, she says. But so far little has been done to transplant these trees to the northern desert areas to become part of the Great Green Wall.
1. According to the passage, we can know the present situation of the Great Green Wall project is ______.
A. encouraging B. unoptimistic C. satisfying D. hopeful
2. How will the Great Green Wall resist the Sahara Desert?
①By protecting the soil
②By stopping the desert from growing
③By holding more water
④By expanding its width and length gradually
⑤By influencing the wind
A.①②③ B.②④⑤ C.①③⑤ D.②③④
3. The Great Green Wall project ______.
A. was started five years ago
B. was in the charge of Senegal
C. would concern 11 countries in all
D. is to keep people away from Sahara Desert
4. The trees in the green wall ______.
A. should be native to the involved countries
B. should be provided by nurseries of N'Djamena
C. should be approved at the Great Green Wall website
D. should be suitable to grow in drought environment
5. Which of the following is wrong?
A. Few countries put the green project into practice.
B. The green belt would be about 116,625 square km
C. The African Union has spent about $2m on the project.
D. The key to the project is finance and cooperation
【解析】
1. B。推理判断题。根据第三段“But our reporter says many other leaders seem ready to forget the project.”及最后一段“But so far little has been done to transplant these trees to the northern desert areas…”可容易推知该绿化工程并没有得到所有相关国家的积极配合，该工程的前景不容乐观，故选B。
2. C。细节理解题。根据第二段“The plan says it hopes the trees will slow soil loss; slow wind speeds and help rain water leak into the ground, to stop the desert from growing.”可知树木通过减少土壤流失、降低风速及帮助土壤保持水分等以阻止土地沙漠化，故选C。
人参加了会议，可容易推知该绿化带定会涉及这11个国家，故选C。
3. C。细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知共有包括塞内加尔在内的11个国家的领导
4. D。细节理解题。根据第四段“The trees should be ‘drought-adapted species’…”可知此绿化带中的树木必须能在干旱的环境中生存，故选D。
5. C。细节理解题。根据第四段“Senegal says it has spent about $2m (￡1.35m) on it …”可知是塞内加尔已在这个绿化工程上花费了约$2m，而非非洲联盟，故选C。

【江苏扬州2012-2013学年度第一学期高二年级期末考试】
Beatles’ music lives on
The news that albums by the pop and rock band The Beatles（披头士乐队）are soon to be re-released worldwide is sure to delight their fans, or rather their new fans. The teenagers, now adults, who listened to them back in the 1960s likely already own most of their albums.
The re-release of The Beatles’ music catalogue（目录）is clearly aimed at today’s teenagers who want to discover for themselves the pop band their parents loved. It’s proof of the genius（天才）of the fantastic four’s music that today’s teenage generation want to listen to them.
A four-member band from Liverpool, England, that formed in 1960 and broke up in 1970, The Beatles were one of the most metrically successful and critically acclaimed（称赞）bands in the history of popular music. The two most famous band members were Sir Paul McCartney and John Lennon.
The band’s innovative（创新的）music and cultural impact helped define the 1960s, and their influence on pop culture is still clear today. When the US music magazine Rolling Stone made a list in 2004 of the 100 greatest artists of all time, it surprised no one that they gave The Beatles the top spot of number one.
So why nearly 40 years after the band’s split are they still so popular? According to Barry Miles, Sir Paul McCartney’s biographer（传记作者）, the answer is that they were the first of their kind. “They were essentially（本质上）the first rock band. The Beatles were the first of the British singer-songwriting bands and they just happened to be the best. They were the first band to play stadiums, to have their own products, they were ground-breaking in every way,” he says.
They were also unbelievably talented, as Miles also points out, “They had great performing and songwriting talent, not only John and Paul, but George wrote some fantastic songs and the chance of having three gifted songwriters in the same band is very remote.”
60. The re-release of The Beatles’ albums is intended for __________.
A. all The Beatles’ fans B. today’s teenagers’ parents
C. today’s teenage generation D. those who were teenagers in the 1960s[来源:学科网ZXXK]
61. What’s the purpose of the fourth paragraph?
A. To highlight The Beatles’ uniqueness. B. To show The Beatles’ great influence.
C. To introduce The Beatles’ achievements. D. To explain why The Beatles remain popular.
62. The Beatles broke through in the following ways EXCEPT that __________.
A. they were the first rock band
B. they were the first band to perform in stadiums
C. they were the first band to perform all around the world
D. they were among the first British bands to have several songwriters
63. What can we conclude after reading the passage?
A. The Beatles had a successful start but an unhappy ending.
B. It’s not rare for a band to have several talented songwriters.
C. The band’s fans in the 1960s have lost interest in The Beatles today.
D. Paul McCartney and John Lennon wrote many of the songs for the band.

【河南新乡许昌平顶山三市2013届高三10月第一次调研考试】
Dear Editor,
I’m always negative around my parents after I found out that I was not sure if I was going to finish up college.I keep telling them I will not finish up college and this stresses out my parents as well as myself.I keep telling the people around me about it and it just makes things even worse.My parents lost their jobs and are jobless now, which adds more stress and also makes me long for a job to help.I do not want to disappoint my parents or let them down.I just realize life can be so complicated because I have no knowledge of anything and I make poor decisions in life.I sometimes wish there were someone out there who could listen and help me through tough times in life.I do not want to become a trashy (无用的) adult someday, so please help.It is difficult for me to know what is right or wrong, but I still have time to learn.
Yours,
Tim
Answer 1
The best decision you could make is to stay in school.Finding a job without a degree will be even more difficult than it is now.A college degree is an investment in your future, and your parents only want the best for you.Think long and hard before you shut the door on your education.Talk with them and you can understand, as parents it is their job to be always concerned about you and your future.Best wishes.
Answer 2
Try to be a little more positive around them, even though it is probably really difficult.Tell them straight that you don’t think you’ll be able to finish up college at the moment, but you can always get a job and go back to college later in your life, either online or only taking a few classes at a time.It might take longer than you want, but you’ll still graduate, and your parents might be a little happier too.
56.What’s Tim’s main problem according to the passage?
A.He doesn’t know how to get on with his parents.
B.He needs support to finish up college.
C.He has difficult in making an important decision.
D.His parents are unemployed and the family is facing too much stress.

A.find a part-time job while studying in college
B.first finish up college and then find a job
C.persuade his parents to let him do what he wants to do
D.think more about his parents than about his future

A.stress the importance of a college degree
B.advise Tim to have a good talk with his parents
C.agree that it will take a long time to finish up college
D.suggest that Tim make a decision on his own
59.What does the underlined sentence mean?
A.A college degree costs a lot of money.
B.It will be difficult to live without a college degree in the future.
C.Having a college degree will give you an advantage in the future.
D.You can’t find a job without a college degree in the future.[来源:学科网ZXXK]
56.C 推理判断题。从蒂姆的信中可知, 因为父母失业了, 他不想继续读书, 想找份工作来帮助父母, 这使父母很担忧。他不想让父母失望, 但又不知道怎么做才好, 所以需要别人的指点。
57.B 推理判断题。从Answer 1中 “The best decision you could make is to stay in school.”和 “Think long and hard before you shut the door on your education.”可得到答案。
58.B 归纳总结题。这两个回答的相同之处就是建议蒂姆和父母好好沟通一下。文中“Talk with them and you can understand...” (Answer 1) 和“Tell them straight that you don’t think ...”(Answer 2) 可知应选B项。
59.C 细节理解题。本段强调的是学业的重要性, 所以说大学文凭是对未来的投资, 意思是拥有了大学文凭, 在未来就会占有优势;同时也强调这个投资是值得的。
C

I look at the 40-year-old photograph and see him so 8 , but of course he would 9 have a chance to grow old. The last time I talked to him was 10 my father was in Florida on business, and felt chest pains, he just told me not to 11 , he was fine.
So what 12 did I learn when he died of a heart attack at 59?Life goes by fast, don’t waste a moment, tell the ones you love 13 you feel, and show affection every chance you get.
I am still gripping(紧握)the photograph and 14 .My daughter, not sure what to do, puts her arms around my shoulders and tries to 15 me.
“I know you 16 him,” she says to me.
And I do. Still. Every day.
It’s okay to feel this 17 .You can’t have an up without a down, a back without a front—or a happy without a sad. This is the 18 you pay for having a great father. You get the 19 , the tender moments—and you get the tears at the end, too.

A
African leaders are meeting in Chad to push the idea of planting a tree belt across Africa from Senegal in the west to Djibouti in the east.
The Great Green Wall project is supported by the African Union and is aimed at stopping the advancing Sahara Desert. The belt would be 15km (nine miles) wide and 7,775km (4,831 miles) long. The plan, worked out five years ago, has not started because of a lack of funding and some experts worry it would not be maintained properly.
The BBC's Tidiane Sy in Senegal says the plan has the full support of Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade, who is in Chad with 10 other heads of state to discuss desertification（沙漠化）. His government has created the website serving the Great Green Wall. But our reporter says many other leaders seem ready to forget the project.
The trees should be "drought-adapted species", preferably native to the areas planted, the Great Green Wall website says, listing 37 suitable species. The plan says it hopes the trees will slow soil loss; slow wind speeds and help rain water leak into the ground, to stop the desert from growing. Senegal says it has spent about $2m (￡1.35m) on it and communities are being encouraged to plant trees.
The BBC's former Chad journalist Celeste Hicks says older people in N'Djamena - where the conference is being held - talk about how the capital city has become a dustbowl（干旱尘暴区）over the last 20 years as the Sahara Desert has stricken southwards. The country has made efforts to plant a green belt of trees around the capital, and tens of thousands of young trees are being grown in nurseries（苗圃）on the suburbs of the city, she says. But so far little has been done to transplant these trees to the northern desert areas to become part of the Great Green Wall.
1. According to the passage, we can know the present situation of the Great Green Wall project is ______.
A. encouraging B. unoptimistic C. satisfying D. hopeful
2. How will the Great Green Wall resist the Sahara Desert?
①By protecting the soil
②By stopping the desert from growing
③By holding more water
④By expanding its width and length gradually
⑤By influencing the wind
A.①②③ B.②④⑤ C.①③⑤ D.②③④
3. The Great Green Wall project ______.
A. was started five years ago
B. was in the charge of Senegal
C. would concern 11 countries in all
D. is to keep people away from Sahara Desert
4. The trees in the green wall ______.
A. should be native to the involved countries
B. should be provided by nurseries of N'Djamena
C. should be approved at the Great Green Wall website
D. should be suitable to grow in drought environment
5. Which of the following is wrong?
A. Few countries put the green project into practice.
B. The green belt would be about 116,625 square km
C. The African Union has spent about $2m on the project.
D. The key to the project is finance and cooperation
【解析】
1. B。推理判断题。根据第三段“But our reporter says many other leaders seem ready to forget the project.”及最后一段“But so far little has been done to transplant these trees to the northern desert areas…”可容易推知该绿化工程并没有得到所有相关国家的积极配合，该工程的前景不容乐观，故选B。
2. C。细节理解题。根据第二段“The plan says it hopes the trees will slow soil loss; slow wind speeds and help rain water leak into the ground, to stop the desert from growing.”可知树木通过减少土壤流失、降低风速及帮助土壤保持水分等以阻止土地沙漠化，故选C。
人参加了会议，可容易推知该绿化带定会涉及这11个国家，故选C。
3. C。细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知共有包括塞内加尔在内的11个国家的领导
4. D。细节理解题。根据第四段“The trees should be ‘drought-adapted species’…”可知此绿化带中的树木必须能在干旱的环境中生存，故选D。
5. C。细节理解题。根据第四段“Senegal says it has spent about $2m (￡1.35m) on it …”可知是塞内加尔已在这个绿化工程上花费了约$2m，而非非洲联盟，故选C。

Beatles’ music lives on
The news that albums by the pop and rock band The Beatles（披头士乐队）are soon to be re-released worldwide is sure to delight their fans, or rather their new fans. The teenagers, now adults, who listened to them back in the 1960s likely already own most of their albums.
The re-release of The Beatles’ music catalogue（目录）is clearly aimed at today’s teenagers who want to discover for themselves the pop band their parents loved. It’s proof of the genius（天才）of the fantastic four’s music that today’s teenage generation want to listen to them.
A four-member band from Liverpool, England, that formed in 1960 and broke up in 1970, The Beatles were one of the most metrically successful and critically acclaimed（称赞）bands in the history of popular music. The two most famous band members were Sir Paul McCartney and John Lennon.
The band’s innovative（创新的）music and cultural impact helped define the 1960s, and their influence on pop culture is still clear today. When the US music magazine Rolling Stone made a list in 2004 of the 100 greatest artists of all time, it surprised no one that they gave The Beatles the top spot of number one.
So why nearly 40 years after the band’s split are they still so popular? According to Barry Miles, Sir Paul McCartney’s biographer（传记作者）, the answer is that they were the first of their kind. “They were essentially（本质上）the first rock band. The Beatles were the first of the British singer-songwriting bands and they just happened to be the best. They were the first band to play stadiums, to have their own products, they were ground-breaking in every way,” he says.
They were also unbelievably talented, as Miles also points out, “They had great performing and songwriting talent, not only John and Paul, but George wrote some fantastic songs and the chance of having three gifted songwriters in the same band is very remote.”
60. The re-release of The Beatles’ albums is intended for __________.
A. all The Beatles’ fans B. today’s teenagers’ parents
C. today’s teenage generation D. those who were teenagers in the 1960s[来源:学科网ZXXK]
61. What’s the purpose of the fourth paragraph?
A. To highlight The Beatles’ uniqueness. B. To show The Beatles’ great influence.
C. To introduce The Beatles’ achievements. D. To explain why The Beatles remain popular.
62. The Beatles broke through in the following ways EXCEPT that __________.
A. they were the first rock band
B. they were the first band to perform in stadiums
C. they were the first band to perform all around the world
D. they were among the first British bands to have several songwriters
63. What can we conclude after reading the passage?
A. The Beatles had a successful start but an unhappy ending.
B. It’s not rare for a band to have several talented songwriters.
C. The band’s fans in the 1960s have lost interest in The Beatles today.
D. Paul McCartney and John Lennon wrote many of the songs for the band.

【河南新乡许昌平顶山三市2013届高三10月第一次调研考试】
Dear Editor,
I’m always negative around my parents after I found out that I was not sure if I was going to finish up college.I keep telling them I will not finish up college and this stresses out my parents as well as myself.I keep telling the people around me about it and it just makes things even worse.My parents lost their jobs and are jobless now, which adds more stress and also makes me long for a job to help.I do not want to disappoint my parents or let them down.I just realize life can be so complicated because I have no knowledge of anything and I make poor decisions in life.I sometimes wish there were someone out there who could listen and help me through tough times in life.I do not want to become a trashy (无用的) adult someday, so please help.It is difficult for me to know what is right or wrong, but I still have time to learn.
Yours,
Tim
Answer 1
The best decision you could make is to stay in school.Finding a job without a degree will be even more difficult than it is now.A college degree is an investment in your future, and your parents only want the best for you.Think long and hard before you shut the door on your education.Talk with them and you can understand, as parents it is their job to be always concerned about you and your future.Best wishes.
Answer 2
Try to be a little more positive around them, even though it is probably really difficult.Tell them straight that you don’t think you’ll be able to finish up college at the moment, but you can always get a job and go back to college later in your life, either online or only taking a few classes at a time.It might take longer than you want, but you’ll still graduate, and your parents might be a little happier too.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m very grateful for your great service while staying at your hotel, but I’m writing to ask for your help with sending back my camera that I left in your hotel.
I checked in on July 7th and out on July 11th and stayed in Room 603 for the whole time. Perhaps because I left in a rush for the airport, I made the mistake of leaving my camera in the room.

If found, the camera can be posted back to me by using the address on the envelope.
