One day a friend who was not a Christian stopped at the little gorge(山谷) to talk to the blacksmith who gave his heart to God. 1 with him in some of his trials(麻煩事) ，the friend said, "It seems 2 to me that so much affliction(苦惱) should pass over you just at the time when you have become a Christian. Of course, I don't want to 3 your faith in God or any?thing like that. But here you are,under God's help and guidance, and 4 things seem to be getting steadily worse. I can't help 5 why it is."

  The blacksmith did not answer immediately，and it was 6 that he had thought the same question before. But finally, he said, "You see here the raw 7 which I have to make into horseshoes. You know how I 8it? I take a piece and heat it in the fire until it is red,al?most white with the 9 . Then I hammer it unmercifully to 10 it as I know it should be shaped. Then I throw it into a pail(桶) of cold water to temper it. Then I 11 it again and hammer it some more. And this I do until it is finished."

"But sometimes I find a piece of iron that won't 12 under this treatment. The heat and the hammering and the cold water are 13for it. I don't know why it fails in the 14 ， but I know it will never make a good horseshoe."

 He 15a heap of scrap(廢品) iron that was near the door of his shop. " When I get a piece that cannot take the shape and 16 ，I throw it out on the scrap heap. It will never be 17 for anything.”

He went on, "I know that God has been holding me in the fire of affliction and I have felt His 18 upon me. But I don't mind, 19he can bring me to what I should be. And so,in all these hard things my 20 is simply this;Try me in any way you wish,Lord,only don't throw me on the scrap heap."

一個(gè)人成了基督徒。另一個(gè)人問(wèn)他："在你成為基督徒后，上帝在幫助引導(dǎo)你，可是你還是經(jīng)歷了那么多的苦難，這是為什么？"于是基督徒拿鐵塊被打成馬蹄靴的事倒回應(yīng)了他。

1.C耳關(guān)系后文so much affliction should pass o-ver you我們知道，因?yàn)榛酵接龅搅撕芏嗦闊┦虑�，因此那個(gè)人同情他。

2.C顯然,成為基督徒后那個(gè)人仍舊忍受這么多的苦難，這是別人所不理解的，因此用strange0

3.D這個(gè)人為自己的話(huà)作解釋?zhuān)f(shuō)那樣的話(huà)并非在削弱他時(shí)上帝的信仰。

4.A God's help and guidance與空后的內(nèi)容有轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。盡管有上帝的幫助與指導(dǎo)，但是情況似乎變得越來(lái)越槽。

5.D顯然這個(gè)事情是他迷惑不解的，因此用wondering最合適。

6.B聯(lián)系空后的he had thought the same ques?tion before我們知道，那個(gè)人沒(méi)有立刻回答，很顯然他以前也思考過(guò)這個(gè)問(wèn)題。

7.A聯(lián)系后文我們知道，這個(gè)鐵匠用鐵制造馬蹄靴，因此可以排除其他選項(xiàng)。

8.C接下來(lái)他講述的是處理這塊鐵的過(guò)程。因此用do with最合適。think of"評(píng)價(jià);考慮";make with "用.... 制造"；get from"從……得到"。

9.B聯(lián)系空前的until it is red我們知道，繼續(xù)加熱鐵就開(kāi)始發(fā)白。

10.B聯(lián)系空后的as I know it should be shaped 我們可以得出答案。

11.A聯(lián)系空后的hammer it some more我們知道，在回火后繼續(xù)給鐵加溫,然后錘煉。

12.B聯(lián)系空后的under this treatment我們知道,有些鐵忍受不了這樣的處理stand up意思是"忍受"，其他選項(xiàng)中,stand out"突出"; stand by "站在一旁";stand in "當(dāng)替身;代替"。

13.A聯(lián)系前文第12空，我們知道，有些鐵忍受不了這樣的處理。

14.C在這個(gè)處理過(guò)程中。有的就失敗了。process意思是"過(guò)程"，其他選項(xiàng)中。situa?tion"情形;境遇";state"狀態(tài)"。

15.D他指著門(mén)邊的一堆廢鐵。point out"指出";make out"說(shuō)明;理解";find out"弄清楚"。

16.A聯(lián)系前文的Then I throw it into a pail of cold water to temper it我們可以得出答案。temper在這里指金屬回火后的硬度和彈性。

17.B be good for為固定搭配，意思是"擔(dān)當(dāng)?shù)闷?。

18.B聯(lián)系下文我們知道，鐵匠把苦難看做是上帝在錘煉自己。

19.A he can bring me to what I should be是鐵匠的希望，因此用if only，意思是"要是…… 就好了" .only if "只有";in case"以防"。

20. D冒號(hào)后面的內(nèi)容是鐵匠對(duì)上帝的祈禱，因此我們得出答案D。

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源： 題型：

  A super drug that could remove Alzheimer's(癡呆癥) ，heart disease and diabetes(糖屎病) and help people live to 100 is being developed by scientists. Their research is based on the iden?tification of three genes that improve long and healthy lives and prevent diseases of aging. Medi?cally controlling the proteins made by the " longevity genes" will allow millions to live longer, predicts Nir Barzilai.

Those people whose DNA strongly features the three genes are 80 percent less likely to de?velop Alzheimer's. The genes also fight against the deadly impact of smoking, bad diet,obesity and lack of exercise.

  Already，several laboratories are working on a pill to imitate the benefits of the genes and Dr Barzilai thinks it could be tested within three years. The pill could remove some diseases that damage the old people. "The advantage of finding a gene that involves longevity is that we can develop a drug that will imitate exactly what this gene is doing," he said. "The biology we're trying to uncover is that if we can imitate that,long life can be really terrific."

  Of the three longevity genes, two increase the production of so-called good cholesterol(膽固醇) ，which reduces the risk of heart disease. The third prevents diabetes. They were discov?ered by Dr Barzilai's team while studying the DNA of 500 Ashkenazi Jews with an average age of 100. The chances of living that long are one in 10,000 but the study group―which shared relatively few common ancestors―was 20 times more likely to hit the century. Dr Barzilai said, "Thirty percent of them were overweight and 30 percent smoked two packs of cigarettes a day for more than 40 years,however they could still live to 100."

  But Andrew Ketteringham, of the Alzheimer's Society, said. " Alzheimer's disease, a most common disease, is likely to be caused by a combination of genetic disposition(遺傳傾向) ，lifes?tyle and life events. Many genes are probably involved.”

(   ) 1. According to the text， some people are able to live to one hundred years because of

   A. magical medicine   B. three special genes

   C.  having no disease   D. once being sportsmen

(   ) 2. Why does the discovery of the longevity genes mean a lot?

   A.Because it can bring great benefits to economic development.

   B.Because it can help people change their unhealthy genes.

   C.Because it helps produce a drug that can make people live longer.

   D.Because it will help scientists to build up a new branch of biology. 

(   ) 3. From Paragraph 4 we can infer that        .

   A.longevity genes cannot help reduce diseases

   B.the study group is all from the same family

   C.good habits have no effects on the health of people

   D.the longevity genes may protect the people from the harm of bad habits 

(   ) 4. What is Andrew Ketteringham's attitude toward the study?

   A. Positive.   B. Critical.   C. Neutral.   D. Satisfied.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源： 題型：

 One Saturday morning after breakfast, I returned to my dormitory and saw the house parent chasing the beautiful butterflies, hundreds of which lived in the bushes around the orphanage. I carefully watched as he caught these beautiful creatures, one after another, and then took them from the net and stuck straight pins through their head and wings,pinning them onto a heavy cardboard sheet.

  How cruel it was to kill something of such beauty. When the house parent went inside to answer the phone, I walked up to the cardboard and looked at the butterfly that he had just pinned to the large paper. It was still moving about, so I reached down and touched it on the wing,causing one of the pins to fall out. It started flying around and around, trying to get away but it was still pinned by one wing with another straight pin. Finally its wing broke off and the butterfly fell to the ground, still trembling. I tried to let it fly away before the house parent came back. But I failed.

  When the house parent came back,he was angry with me though I didn't admit doing any?thing. He picked up the cardboard paper and started hitting me on the head. There were all kinds of butterfly pieces going everywhere. He threw the cardboard down on the ground and told me to pick it up and put it in the garbage can inside the back room of the dormitory and then he left. I sat there in the dirt for the longest time trying to fit all the butterfly pieces back together so I could bury them whole, but it was too hard to do. So I prayed for them and put them in an old torn-up shoebox and I buried them in the ground near the blackberry bushes.

  Every year when the butterflies would return to the orphanage and try to land on me,I would try and shoo them away because they did not know that the orphanage was a bad place to live and a very bad place to die.

(   ) 1. Why didn't the butterfly that the writer wanted to set free fly away?

   A.Because it was pinned to the paper.

   B.Because it refused to fly away.

   A.The house parent doubted the writer.

   B.The writer admitted trying to set the butterfly free.

   C.All the butterflies flew away thanks to the writer's help.

   D.The writer put all the dead butterflies in the garbage can.

(   ) 3. The writer tried his best to fit all the butterfly pieces back together in order to

    A. save them   B. make the house parent angry

   C. be proud of himself   D. bury the butterflies whole

(   ) 4. What does the underlined phrase "shoo them away" in the last paragraph mean?

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源： 題型：

 Latin America and other poor regions of the world will bear the impact(影響) of climate change, a top official from the organization that shared this year's Nobel Peace Prize said.

  The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) ，a UN network of scientists，was awarded the prize along with former US Vice President AI Gore for their work warning the pub?lic of the peril of global warming.

  "The results of the IPCC show very clearly the impact of climate change will be much seve?rer for the poorest groups and Latin America is included in that”，said IPCC vice chairman Mo?han Munasinghe of Sri Lanka.

  He said water management issues were likely to be the most pressing problem caused by global warming in Latin America. Dry areas will become much drier and other areas will face increased floods and associated waterbome diseases like malaria and dengue fever.

  He said in spite of the problems faced by Latin America, the region is very practical in dealing with the issue.

  "My sense is that Latin American countries have been much more responsive(反應(yīng)積極的) to the issue of climate change because they feel much more vulnerable(脆弱的) ，"Munasinghe said. "For North America, particularly the United States, the reaction is more defensive."

  Brazilian Environment Minister Marina Silva said, "Global warming is a burden(負(fù)擔(dān))shared by both developing and developed nations. If we are to reduce our "greenhouse" gas e-mission by 100 percent, without richer nations reducing theirs by at least 80 percent, we will still be affected.”

(   ) 5. Why were IPCC and AI Gore awarded with the Nobel Peace Prize?

   A.They were working together to fight global warming.

   B.They stopped the global warming becoming severer.

   C.They warned the public of the impact of climate change on poor regions.

   D.He predicted the influences of developed nations on climate change.

(   ) 6. The underlined word "peril" in the second paragraph probably means .

   A. danger   B. force   C. possibility   D. range 

(   ) 7. We can learn from the last but one paragraph that Mohan Munasinghe seems to       .

   A.be blaming the USA for its reaction to global warming

   B.seek more countries to help them fight global warming

   C.be optimistic about reducing the impact of global warming

   D.look for the real reasons why global warming is so severe 

(   ) 8. Marina Silva believes that       

   A.developing nations should learn from developed nations to fight global warming

   B.developed nations have a bigger role to play in solving the problem of global warming

   C.developed nations have made more contribution to reducing the impact of global warming

   D.developing nations are able to do little in solving the problem of global warming
