　本文是一篇記敘文。全文講述了“我”和孫女到故鄉(xiāng)去“尋宗覓源”的故事。“我”和“我”的孫女一起回到了“我”曾經(jīng)住過的家，在已經(jīng)破舊不堪的房子前，“我”思緒萬千，想起了曾經(jīng)在這里生活時的點點滴滴和難忘的一切�！拔摇钡膶O女也瞬間對這里萌生了一種找到“家”的感覺。
小題1:解析：選A。通過文章第一句話中的the fog is lifting now(現(xiàn)在霧正在散去)可以判斷，“海濱村莊正在一個接一個地浮現(xiàn)出來”。
小題2:解析：選C。聯(lián)系空后的across the bay(橫跨過海灣)以及介詞to可以判斷，此處表示“‘我’用手指著遠(yuǎn)方的那個破舊的房子”。point to是固定搭配，表示“指向(遠(yuǎn)方的事物)”。
小題3:解析：選D。聯(lián)系前文驅(qū)車從遙遠(yuǎn)的地方來到故鄉(xiāng)以及后文描述的“我”對故鄉(xiāng)過去種種回憶的內(nèi)容，可知“我”來這里是追尋過去的“珍貴”記憶。shared共享的；short短暫的；fresh新鮮的；treasured珍貴的。
小題4:解析：選C。根據(jù)此空前的one of the mobile children可知此處強(qiáng)調(diào)Lise小時候是個流動兒童，再根據(jù)空后的from house to house可以判斷，此處move與語境相符合。
小題5:解析：選A。聯(lián)系空后的“因此我們(我和Lise)來到了‘我’和‘我’的丈夫出生的地方(暗指回到了故鄉(xiāng))”以及短文最后“We must all go home again...”可知，此空應(yīng)該強(qiáng)調(diào)“Lise渴望有個真正的家”。
小題6:解析：選B。聯(lián)系上文我們知道，Nova Scotia是“‘我’和‘我’丈夫出生的地方”，故可推知這里也是我們的祖輩“生活”過的地方。
小題7:解析：選B。聯(lián)系短文第一句“我們整個上午一直在大霧中開車”可推知此處表示“我們在那個破舊的房子跟前停下了車”。故pull up表示“使(車)停下”，符合語境。catch up趕上；step down讓位；辭職；come down下來；敗落；倒塌。
小題8:解析：選C。聯(lián)系空后的“swift as the tide”可知，此空用rushing最為合適，表示“記憶如潮水般快速涌回腦海”。
小題9:解析：選D。聯(lián)系42空后的by the house以及46空前的go into the house可推知此處表示“我渴望再一次走進(jìn)曾經(jīng)見證我美好成長史的房子”。
小題10:解析：選C。根據(jù)空后a member of the family可推知房子和家人構(gòu)成的是所屬關(guān)系，即“雖然這座房子仍為我們家庭中的一個成員所擁有，但已經(jīng)好久沒有人居住了”。adapt to適應(yīng)；appeal to吸引；belong to屬于；occur to發(fā)生，出現(xiàn)。
小題11:解析：選B。根據(jù)walk與空后的rooms的邏輯關(guān)系可知此處表示“穿過房間”，故選B。
小題12:解析：選D。由本句中“wrote in her diary”可推知母親當(dāng)時是“坐在”臥室的窗邊寫日記。
小題13:解析：選D。根據(jù)上下文可知此處仍然是描寫作者的回憶，即“我仍然能夠回想起當(dāng)時熱忱的家人進(jìn)進(jìn)出出的情景”。形容人又多又擁擠時，常用pour一詞，表示“涌入/涌出”。march into長驅(qū)直入；look into朝……里面看；調(diào)查；break into闖入。
小題14:解析：選B。聯(lián)系空前描述的內(nèi)容可知，“我”的這些記憶都是很珍貴、很難忘的，所以“我從未對和他們生活在一起而感到厭煩過”。be with sb.表示“和某人在一起”，符合上下文語境。
小題15:解析：選B。根據(jù)后文“當(dāng)我在講述的時候”可知與talk對應(yīng)的就是listen。此處強(qiáng)調(diào)Lise聽得非常專注。
小題16:解析：選A。因為上下文多次提到roots，house這樣的字眼，作者意在突出“尋宗覓源”之意，故可知此空強(qiáng)調(diào)Lise意識到了自己的根就在這里，即：她是從這里開始了自己的生命旅程。
小題17:解析：選D。只有found一詞與38空前的seeking roots for her(尋找她的家族之根)遙相呼應(yīng)，表示Lise終于“找到了自己的根”。
小題18:解析：選A。根據(jù)上下文作者所表達(dá)的情感來看，“知道‘我’從哪里來”應(yīng)該是每個人“心底”最偉大的渴望之一。right權(quán)利；interest興趣；behavior行為。
小題19:解析：選C。因為此空前已經(jīng)提到了“have an origin”，所以此處應(yīng)該用that origin與之相呼應(yīng)，表示強(qiáng)調(diào)和特指的意味。
小題20:解析：選A�？v覽全文，把握作者主要寫作意圖可知，“我”通過記敘與孫女一起“尋宗覓源”的經(jīng)歷就是要證明一點：“知道自己是誰，知道自己來自哪里”，而后才能真正理解“I”這一個詞所蘊(yùn)含的深層“意義”。meaning意思，意義；expression表達(dá)；表情；connection聯(lián)系；background背景。

Doctors are known to be terrible pilots.They don’t listen because they already know it all.I was lucky：Ⅰ became a pilot in 1970，almost ten years before I graduated from medical school.I didn’t realize then，but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon.I loved flying.As I flew bigger，faster planes，and in worse weather，I learned about crew resource management (機(jī)組資源管理)，or CRM，a new idea to make flying safer.It means that crew members should listen and speak up for a good result，regardless of positions.
I first read about CRM in 1980.Not long after that，an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather.The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready.The attending doctor was flying；I was safety pilot.He was so busy because of the bad turn，he had forgotten to put the landing gear (起落架) down.He was a better pilot－and my boss － so it felt unusual to speak up.But I had to：Our lives were in danger.I put aside my uneasiness and said，“We need to put the landing gear down now！” That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM，and I’ve used it in the operating room ever since.
CRM requires that the pilot/surgeon encourage others to speak up.It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite，the doctor doesn’t overreact，which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again.So when I’m in the operating room，I ask for ideas and help from others.Sometimes they’re not willing to speak up.But I hope that if I continue to encourage them，someday someone will keep me from “landing_gear_up”．
小題1:What does the author say about doctors in general?
A．They like flying by themselves.
B．They are unwilling to take advice.
C．They pretend to be good pilots.
D．They are quick learners of CRM.
小題2:The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when________.
A．he saved the plane by speaking up
B．he was in charge of a flying task
C．his boss landed the plane too late
D．his boss operated on a patient
小題3:In the last paragraph “l(fā)anding gear up” probably means ________.
A．following flying requirements
B．overreacting to different opinions
C．listening to what fellow doctors say
D．making a mistake that may cost lives
小題4:Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．CRM：A New Way to Make Flying Safe
B．Flying Makes Me a Better Doctor
C．The Making of a Good Pilot
D．A Pilot­Tumed Doctor

(2013·高考江西卷，A)The light from the campfire brightened the darkness，but it could not prevent the damp cold of Dennis’s Swamp (沼澤地) creeping into their bones.It was a strange place.Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jack’s dare.They liked camping，but not near this swamp.
“So，”Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals.“How did this place get its name? ”
“Are you sure you want to hear it ? It’s a scary story，”warned Jack.
“Of course！”cried out Tom.“If there were anything to be scared of，you wouldn’t have chosen this place！”
“Ok，but don’t say I didn’t warn you，” said Jack，and he began his tale.
“Way back in time，a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here.He built that cottage over there to live in.In those days，the area looked quite different—it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystal­clear river.After three hard years，Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops.He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice.
“‘You are clearing too much land，’warned one old man.‘The land is a living thing.It will hit back at you if you abuse it.’”
“‘Silly fool，’said Dennis to himself.‘If I clear more land，I can grow more crops.I’ll become wealthier.He’s just jealous！’”
“Dennis continued to chop down trees.Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed.He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door.He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land.He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants.”
“What happened？”Martin asked.It was growing colder.He trembled，twisting his body closer to the fire.
“The land hit back—just as the old man warned，”Jack shrugged.“Dennis disappeared.Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater.His body was never found.”
“What a stupid story，”laughed Tom.“Plants can’t...”Before he had finished speaking，he screamed and fainted(暈倒)．The other two boys jumped up with fright，staring at Tom.Suddenly，they burst out laughing.Some green swamp ivy (常春藤) had covered Tom’s face.It was a while before Tom could appreciate the joke.
小題1:The underlined word “dare”in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to________.
A．courageB．a(chǎn)ssistance
C．instructionD．challenge
小題2:Why did Jack tell Tom and Martin the story?
A．To frighten them.
B．To satisfy their curiosity.
C．To warn them of the danger of the place.
D．To persuade them to camp in the swamp.
小題3:Why did Dennis ignore the warning of the old man?
A．The old man envied him.
B．The old man was foolish
C．He was too busy to listen to others.
D．He was greedy for more crops.
小題4:Why did Tom scream and faint?
A．He saw Dennis’s shadow.
B．He was scared by a plant.
C．His friends played a joke on him.
D．The weather became extremely cold.
小題5:What lesson can we learn from the story of Dennis?

(2013·高考浙江卷，D)In 1974，after filling out fifty applications，going through four interviews，and winning one offer，I took what I could get—a teaching job at what I considered a distant wild area：western New Jersey.My characteristic optimism was alive only when I reminded myself that I would be doing what I had wanted to do since I was fourteen—teaching English.
School started，but I felt more and more as if I were in a foreign country.Was this rural area really New Jersey？My students took a week off when hunting season began.I was told they were also frequently absent in late October to help their fathers make hay on the farms.I was a young woman from New York City，who thought that“Make hay while the sun shines” just meant to have a good time.
But，still，I was teaching English.I worked hard，taking time off only to eat and sleep.And then there was my sixth­grade class—seventeen boys and five girls who were only six years younger than me.I had a problem long before I knew it.I was struggling in my work as a young idealistic teacher.I wanted to make literature come alive and to promote a love of the written word.The students wanted to throw spitballs and whisper dirty words in the back of the room.
In college I had been taught that a successful educator should ignore bad behavior.So I did，confident that，as the textbook had said，the bad behavior would disappear as I gave my students positive attention.It sounds reasonable，but the text evidently ignored the fact that humans，particularly teenagers，rarely seem reasonable.By the time my boss，who was also my taskmaster，known to be the strictest，most demanding，most quick to fire inexperienced teachers，came into the classroom to observe me，the students exhibited very little good behavior to praise.
My boss sat in the back of the room.The boys in the class were making animal noises，hitting each other while the girls filed their nails or read magazines.I just pretended it all wasn’t happening，and went on lecturing and tried to ask some inspiring questions.My boss，sitting in the back of room，seemed to be growing bigger and bigger.After twenty minutes he left，silently.Visions of unemployment marched before my eyes.
I felt mildly victorious that I got through the rest of class without crying，but at my next free period I had to face him.I wondered if he would let me finish out the day.I walked to his office，took a deep breath，and opened the door.
He was sitting in his chair，and he looked at me long and hard.I said nothing.All I could think of was that I was not an English teacher；I had been lying to myself，pretending that everything was fine.
When he spoke，he said simply，without accusation，“You had nothing to say to them.”
“You had nothing to say to them.”he repeated.“No wonder they’re bored.Why not get to the meat of the literature and stop talking about symbolism.Talk with them，not at them.And more important，why do you ignore their bad behavior？”We talked.He named my problems and offered solutions.We role­played.He was the bad student，and I was the forceful，yet，warm，teacher.
As the year progressed，we spent many hours discussing literature and ideas about human beings and their motivations.He helped me identify my weaknesses and my strengths.In short，he made a teacher of me by teaching me the reality of Emerson’s words：“The secret to education lies in respecting the pupil.”
Fifteen years later I still drive that same winding road to the same school.Thanks to the help I received that difficult first year，the school is my home now.
小題1:It can be inferred from the story that in 1974________.

My wife Julie and I were out on the road that runs around where we live, when we saw an old worn-out dog stumbling (蹣跚) painfully up the road. We stopped, bent down, talked gently to the dog and patted it. I checked and there was a collar with a phone number. I called but no one answered.
The dog was painfully thin. So Julie ran home to get some of our dog’s food while I tried to encourage the dog. After Julie came back, we sat down on the sidewalk while our new friend made short work of the food. Eventually we got her home.
After trying for many times we got a response from the number. A lady came around with a bunch of flowers for us. She explained that Tara had been her father’s dog. She was very old and got lost that morning. So, Tara was safely returned home.
Here is the truth of the story:
Actually Julie and I were out that morning because I was leaving. She was trying to persuade me to come back, but I wasn’t hearing anything that made that sound likely.
I was about to turn and go when an old black dog walked between us and almost fell down. Suddenly we had something more important than our problem to worry about. There was a creature in need right before us and we had to work together to help it.
We did help it. And here I am writing the story in my own home, in my own family.

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

I was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare and the tortoise. At the end I said, “ Son, remember: Be slow and steady, and that will win the race. Don’t you think there’s something to learn from the tortoise?”
Sonny opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when I’m entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”
I was shocked, “But the tortoise didn’t wish that the hare would fall asleep!”
“He must have wished that,” Sonny said, “Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”
“He didn’t have such a wish,” I insisted. “He won the race by perseverance, by pushing on steadily.”
Sonny thought a while. “That’s a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn’t happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he’d never have won the race. That’s for sure.”
I gave up. Today’s children are not like what we used to be. They’re just hopeless.
