He met her at a party. She was outstanding; many guys were   41   her, but nobody paid any attention to him. After the party, he   42   her for coffee. She was   43  . In order not to appear rude, she went   44  .
As they sat in a nice   45   shop, he was too nervous to say anything and she felt   46  .
Suddenly, he asked the waiter, “Could you please give me some   47  ? I’d like to put it in my coffee.”
They stared at him. He turned red; but when the salt came, he put it in his coffee and drank.  48  , she asked. “Why salt with coffee?” He explained, “When I was a little boy, I lived near the sea, I liked playing on the sea… I could   49   its salty taste, like salty coffee. Now every time I drink it, I   50   my childhood and my hometown. I miss   51   and my parents, who are still there.”
She was   52   touched. A man who can admit that he’s homesick must love his home and care about his family. He must be   53  .
So they dated,   54   and lived happily together. And every time she made coffee for him, she would put in some salt, the way he liked it.
After 40 years, he   55   and left her a letter which said:
My dearest, please   56   my life-long lie. Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous that I asked for salt   57  sugar.
Sweetheart, I don’t exactly like salty coffee. But as it mattered so   58   to you, I’ve   59 
to enjoy it. Having you with me was my greatest happiness. If I could live a second time, I hope we can be together again,   60  , it means that I have to drink salty coffee for the rest of my life.

Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, a  36 of about eighty miles. It was late and I was in a hurry. However, if anyone asked me how fast I was  37 ,I’d say I was not over-speeding. Several times I got  38 behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road, and I was holding my fists tightly with  39 .
At one point along an open highway, I  40 a crossroad with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I  41 the light, it turned red and I braked to a stop.

I started  44 why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being  45 , because there was obviously no policeman around, and there certainly would have been no  46 in going through it.
Much later that night, after I  47 a group of my friends in Lewisburg and climbed into bed near midnight, the question of why I’d stopped for that light  48 me, I think I stopped because it’s part of a contract(合同) we all have with each other.

It’s amazing that we ever  53 each other to do the right thing, isn’t it? And we do, too, Trust is our  54 preference.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

Driving to a friend's house on a recent evening, I was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friend’s rooftops. I stopped to watch it for a few moments, thinking about what a pity it was that most city people? Myself included? Usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors.
My friend had also seen it. He grew up living in a forest in Europe, and the moon meant a lot to him then. It had touched much of his life.
I know the feeling. Last December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern India with some friends. We stayed in a forest rest-house with no electricity or running hot water. Our group had campfires(篝火) outside every night, and indoors when it was too cold outside. The moon grew to its fullest during our trip. Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys. Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard. It was one of the quietest places I have ever known, a bottomless well of silence. And above me was the full moon, which struck me deeply.　　  
Today our lives are filled with glass, metal, plastic and fibre-glass. We have televisions, cell phones, pagers, electricity, heaters and ovens and air-conditioners, cars, computers.
Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day, most of it spent indoors, I thought: before long, I would like to live in a small cottage. There I will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains. I may become an old man there, and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons. But I will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touch the moon.
小題1:The best title for the passage would be______.
A．Touched by the moon
B．The pleasures of modern life
C．A bottomless well of silence
D．Break away from modern life
小題2: The writer felt sorry for himself because________.
A．there was too much pollution
B．he seldom enjoyed the fullest moon outsides
C．he didn’t adapt to modern inventions
D．there were too many accidents on the road
小題3:What impressed the writer most in the mountainous jungle of northern India?
A．No modern equipmentB．Complete silence.
C．The nice moonlightD．The high mountains
小題4: Modern things (Paragraph 4) are mentioned mainly to______.
A．show that the writer likes city life very much
B．tell us that people greatly benefit from modern life
C．explain that people have fewer chances to enjoy nature
D．show that we can also enjoy nature at home through them
小題5: The author wrote the passage to_______.  
A．express the feeling of returning to nature
B．show the love for the moonlight
C．a(chǎn)dvise modern people to learn to live
D．want to share the idea of longing for modern life

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor named Dr. Gibbs. He didn’t look like any doctor I’d ever known. He never yelled at us for playing in his yard. I remember him as someone who was a lot nicer than most of the adults in our community.
When Dr. Gibbs wasn’t saving lives, he was planting trees. His house sat on ten acres, and his life’s goal was to make it a forest.
The good doctor had some interesting theories concerning plant care and growth. He never watered his new trees, which flew in the face of conventional wisdom. Once I asked why. He said that watering plants spoiled them so that each successive tree generation would grow weaker and weaker. So you have to make things rough for them and weed out(淘汰) the weaker trees early on. He talked about how watering trees made for shallow roots, and how trees that weren’t watered had to grow deep roots in search of moisture. I took him to mean that deep roots were to be treasured.
So he never watered his trees. He planted an oak and, instead of watering it every morning, he beat it with a rolled-up newspaper. Smack! Slap! Pow! I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree’s attention.
Dr. Gibbs passed away a couple of years after I left home. Every now and again, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I’d watched him plant some twenty-five years ago. They’re extremely tall, big and robust since they have deep roots now. However, the trees in my garden trembled in a cold wind although I had watered them for several years.
It seems that adversity(逆境) and suffering benefit these trees in ways comfort and ease never could. I stood there deep in thought.
Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. I stand over them and watch their little bodies, the rising and falling of life within. I often pray for them. Mostly I pray that their lives will be easy. But I think that it’s time to change my prayer(禱詞) because now I know my children are going to encounter hardship.
小題1:According to Dr. Gibbs’ theories, trees will become weaker if they _________.
A．a(chǎn)re lack of careB．a(chǎn)re wateredC．a(chǎn)re weeded outD．a(chǎn)re beaten
小題2:According to Para.3 and Para.4, we can infer that Dr. Gibbs’ motto(座右銘) may be       .
A．“Seeing is believing”B．“Put everything in proper use”
C．“Practice makes perfect”D．“No pain, no gain”
小題3:The underlined word robust in Para.5 most probably means _________.
A．strong　　B．strange　　C．deep　　D．old
小題4:Which of the following may be the author’s best prayer for his two sons now?
A．I wish them strong wings, with which they can fly higher and touch the sky.
B．I wish them nice fortune so that they can meet people like Dr. Gibbs in the future.
C．I wish them deep roots into the earth since the rains fall and the winds blow often.
D．I wish them great shades under the tree since the sunlight is always sharp and bitter.
小題5:Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A．A Nice Doctor B．The Deep Roots C．Adversity and SufferingD．My Childhood Memory

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

You must have been troubled by when to say “I love you” because it is one of the greatest puzzles in our life.
　 What if you say it first and your partner doesn’t love you back? Or if they do say it but you don’t feel they mean it? Being the first to declare your love can be nerve racking(緊張）and risky and can leave you feeling as vulnerable as a turtle with no shell. But is the person who says it first really in a position of weakness? Doesn’t it pay to hold back, play it cool and wait until the other half has shown their hand fast?
　A really good relationship should be about “being fair and being equal,” says psychologist Sidney Crown. “But love is seldom equal.” All relationships go through power struggles but, he says, if a love imbalance continues for years, the rot will set in. “That feeling of ‘I’ve always loved you more’ may be subverted(顛覆，破壞) for a time, but it never goes away completely and it often emerges in squabbling(大聲爭(zhēng)吵).”  In love, at least, the silent, withholding type is not always the most powerful. “The strongest one in a relationship is often the person who feels confident enough to talk about their feelings,” says educational psychologist Ingrid Collins. Psychosexual therapist Paula Hall agrees. “The one with the upper hand is often the person who takes the initiative. In fact, the person who says ‘I love you’ first may also be the one who says ‘I’ m bored with you’ first.” Hall believes that much depends on how “I love you” is said and the motivation of the person saying it. “Is it said when they’re drunk? Is it said before their partner files off on holiday, and what it really means is ‘Please don’ t be unfaithful to me’ ?” By saying ‘I love you’, they are really saying ‘Do you love me?’ If so, wouldn’t it just be more honest to say that. Collins agrees that intention is everything. “It’s not what is said, but how it’s said. What it comes down to is the sincerity of the speaker.”

There are hundreds of things that your parents controlled for you when you were a child. And it’s a good thing, too — kids need this kind of protection and assistance, because they aren’t mature enough to take care of themselves and make careful decisions on their own.
But eventually, kids grow up and become teens. It’s totally normal for teens to create their own opinions, thoughts, and values about life; it’s what prepares them for adulthood. But as you change and grow into this new person who makes his or her own decisions, your parents may have a difficult time adjusting themselves to it.
In most families, it’s this adjustment that can cause a lot of fighting between teens and parents. Teens get angry because they feel parents don’t respect them and aren’t giving them space to do what they like, and parents get angry because they aren’t used to not being in control or they disagree with the teens’ decisions.
It’s easy for feelings to get very hurt when there are conflicts like these. And more complicated issues can cause even bigger arguments, because your parents will always be intent on protecting you and keeping you safe, no matter how old you are.
The good news about fighting with your parents is that in many families the arguing will lessen as parents get more comfortable with the idea that their teens have a right to certain opinions. It can take several years for parents and teens to adjust to their new roles, though. In the meantime, concentrate on communicating with your parents as best you can.
Sometimes this can feel impossible — like they just don’t see your point of view and never will. But talking and expressing your opinions can help you gain more respect from your parents, and you may be able to reach a compromise that makes everyone happy. Keep in mind, too, that your parents were teens once and that in most cases, they can relate to what you’re going through.
