Anthony is 80 years old. He lives by himself in his own home. He spends most of his time in front of the TV      his favorite programs like, football, baseball, and car racing. I’ve        him for about six years and his     breaks my heart. Anthony reminds me of my own grandfather.
Anthonhy is from the isalnd of Malta, a small island in the Mediterranean Sea. He came to the United States, like       of us, to look for a better future for his family. He       eight kids and they live in the United states but     of them live near him in Florida and nor do they visit him. I     him once a day to check on him and spend some     time with him.
I even watch TV with him that I don’t even      , but the       is that he feels someone is there       him company. When he gets sick, or does not feel     enough to cook, I will cross my fence and start      for him.         I will run some errands (跑腿) for him. When he has an appointment with his     _   , I will drive him too. I’ll fix his remote control when it is not       , etc…If something breaks or stops working, he calls me because he knows he can       me anytime.
It is important to care about someone,       it isn’t your own family. You would be      of yourself when you do help someone. I am pretty sure there are many Anthonys out there facing the same loneliness. Please       a difference in someone’s life.

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

Mark Twain has been called the inventor of the American novel.And he surely deserves additional praise：the man who popularized the clever literary attack on racism.
I say clever because anti­slavery fiction had been the important part of the literature in the years before the Civil War.H.B.Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin is only the most famous example.These early stories dealt directly with slavery.With minor exceptions，Twain planted his attacks on slavery and prejudice into tales that were on the surface about something else entirely.He drew his readers into the argument by drawing them into the story.
Again and again，in the postwar years，Twain seemed forced to deal with the challenge of race.Consider the most controversial，at least today，of Twain’s novels，Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.Only a few books have been kicked off the shelves as often as Huckleberry Finn，Twain’s most widely read tale.Once upon a time，people hated the book because it struck them as rude.Twain himself wrote that those who banned the book considered the novel“trash and suitable only for the slums(貧民窟)．”More recently the book has been attacked because of the character Jim，the escaped slave，and many occurrences of the word nigger.(The term Nigger Jim，for which the novel is often severely criticized，never appears in it.)
But the attacks were and are silly—and miss the point.The novel is strongly anti­slavery.Jim’s search through the slave states for the family from whom he has been forcibly parted is heroic.As J．Chadwick has pointed out，the character of Jim was a first in American fiction—a recognition that the slave had two personalities，“the voice of survival within a white slave culture and the voice of the individual：Jim，the father and the man.”
There is much more.Twain’s mystery novel Pudd’nhead Wilson stood as a challenge to the racial beliefs of even many of the liberals of his day.Written at a time when the accepted wisdom held Negroes to be inferior (低等的) to whites，especially in intelligence，Twain’s tale centered in part around two babies switched at birth.A slave gave birth to her master’s baby and，for fear that the child should be sold South，switched him for the master’s baby by his wife.The slave’s light­skinned child was taken to be white and grew up with both the attitudes and the education of the slave­holding class.The master’s wife’s baby was taken for black and grew up with the attitudes and intonations of the slave.
The point was difficult to miss：nurture (養(yǎng)育)，not nature，was the key to social status.The features of the black man that provided the stuff of prejudice—manner of speech，for example—were，to Twain，indicative of nothing other than the conditioning that slavery forced on its victims.
Twain’s racial tone was not perfect.One is left uneasy，for example，by the lengthy passage in his autobiography (自傳) about how much he loved what were called“nigger shows”in his youth—mostly with white men performing in black­face—and his delight in getting his mother to laugh at them.Yet there is no reason to think Twain saw the shows as representing reality.His frequent attacks on slavery and prejudice suggest his keen awareness that they did not.
Was Twain a racist? Asking the questioning the 21st century is as wise as asking the same of Lincoln.If we read the words and attitudes of the past through the“wisdom”of the considered moral judgments of the present，we will find nothing but error.Lincoln，who believed the black man the inferior of the white，fought and won a war to free him.And Twain，raised in a slave state，briefly a soldier，and inventor of Jim，may have done more to anger the nation over racial injustice and awaken its collective conscience than any other novelist in the past century.
小題1:How do Twain’s novels on slavery differ from Stowe’s?
A．Twain was more willing to deal with racism.
B．Twain’s attack on racism was much less open.
C．Twain’s themes seemed to agree with plots.
D．Twain was openly concerned with racism.
小題2:Recent criticism of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn arose partly from its________.
A．target readers at the bottom
B．a(chǎn)nti­slavery attitude
C．rather impolite language
D．frequent use of“nigger”
小題3:What best proves Twain’s anti­slavery stand according to the author?
A．Jim’s search for his family was described in detail.
B．The slave’s voice was first heard in American novels.
C．Jim grew up into a man and a father in the white culture.
D．Twain suspected that the slaves were less intelligent.
小題4:The story of two babies switched mainly indicates that________.
A．slaves were forced to give up their babies to their masters
B．slaves’ babies could pick up slave­holders’ way of speaking
C．blacks’social position was shaped by how they were brought up
D．blacks were born with certain features of prejudice
小題5:What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 7 refer to?
A．The attacks.
B．Slavery and prejudice.
C．White men.
D．The shows.
小題6:What does the author mainly argue for?
A．Twain had done more than his contemporary writers to attack racism.
B．Twain was an admirable figure comparable to Abraham Lincoln.
C．Twain’s works had been banned on unreasonable grounds.
D．Twain’s works should be read from a historical point of view.

(2013·江西九校高三聯(lián)考)One fine afternoon I was walking along Fifth Avenue，____ I remembered that it was necessary to buy a pair of socks. Why I wish to buy only one pair is ____. I turned into the first sock shop that ____ my eye, and a boy clerk who could not have been more than seventeen years old ____. “What can I do for you, sir？”“I wish to buy a pair of socks.”His eyes glowed. There was a note of ____ in his voice.“Did you know that you had come into the finest place in the world to buy socks？” I had not been aware of that, as my entrance had been ____. “Come with me，” said the boy，excitedly. I followed him to the back part of the shop, and he began to haul down from the shelves box after box，____ their contents for my enjoyment.
“Hold on, young man, I am going to buy only one pair！”“I know that，” said he，“but I want you to see ___ beautiful these are. Aren't they wonderful？” ____ was on his face an expression of solemn and holy pleasure，____ he were revealing to me mysteries of his religion. I became far ____ interested in him than in the socks. I looked at him in amazement. “My friend，” said I, “if you can keep this up, if this is not ____ the enthusiasm that comes from novelty, from having a new job, if you can keep up this enthusiasm and excitement day after day, in ten years you will own every ____ in the United States.”
My amazement ____ his pride and joy in salesmanship will be easily understood by all who read this article. In many shops the ____ has to wait for someone to wait upon him. And when ____ some clerk does notice you, you are made to feel as if you were interrupting him. Whether he is ____ in deep thought in which he hates to be disturbed or he is chatting with a girl clerk, you feel like ____ for “being too rude”．
He displays no interest either in you or the goods he ____ to sell. Yet possibly that very clerk who is now so apathetic began his career with hope and ____. The daily grind was too much for him; the novelty wore off; his only pleasures were found outside of working hours. He became mechanical, he became incompetent, and then he saw younger clerks who had more zest in their work, promoted over him. He became sour. That was the last stage. His usefulness was over.

Brenda Bongos was a happy, artistic girl. She had one big dream—to play the drums in a band. But one big problem lay in her way. To be good enough to play in a band, Brenda had to practice a lot, but she lived next-door to a lot of old people. Many of them are sick. She knew that the sound of beating drums would really get on their nerves. So, she had tried playing in the strangest places: a basement, a kitchen, and even in a shower. But there was always someone it would annoy.
One day, while watching a science documentary on TV, she heard that sound cannot travel in space, because there's no air. At that moment, Brenda Bongos decided to become a sort of musical astronaut.
With the help of a lot of time, books and work, Brenda built a space bubble. This was a big glass ball connected to a machine which sucked out all the air inside. All that would be left inside was a drum kit（成套設備） and a chair. Brenda got into the space suit she had made, entered the bubble, turned on the machine, and played those drums like a wild child.
It wasn't long before Brenda Bongos came very famous. Many people came to see her play in her space bubble. Shortly afterwards she came out of the bubble and started giving concerts. Her fame spread so much that the government suggested that she be part of a unique space journey. Finally, Brenda was a real musical astronaut, and had gone far beyond her first ambition of playing drums in a band.
Years later, when asked how she had achieved all this, she thought for a moment, and said: ''If those old people next–door hadn't mattered so much to me, I wouldn't have found a solution, and none of this would have ever happened.''
小題1:Why did Brenda try to play in the strangest places?
A．Because she didn't want others to hear her play
B．Because she didn't mean to disturb others.
C．Because she didn't have her own room
D．Because she didn’t like her neighbors.
小題2:Brenda started to give concerts _______.
A．a(chǎn)fter she practiced in her space bubble
B．when she became part of the unique space journey
C．a(chǎn)fter she became a real musical astronaut
D．when people came to see her in the space bubble
小題3:Brenda became famous because _______.
A．she was good at music and science
B．she became a real musical astronaut
C．she invented a special way of practice
D．she played well and had a talent
小題4:It can be inferred from the text that: " _______".

But when it came to      of their problems, things got a little strange. They all claimed to have headaches, but the headaches weren’t        by the normal body language of holding the head or trying to keep it still.
Something was wrong. Our hospital policy,       , was not to turn away any patient. I explained it might be a little while      a doctor saw her. She responded immediately, even a bit      “Take your time,” and then added, “It’s warm in here.”
Then, I checked their registration form out of curiosity. No address—they were     .The waiting room was warm. I went back to the nurses’ station and mentioned we had a homeless     in the waiting room. The nurses, complaining of      on Christmas, turned to sympathy for a family just trying to get     on Christmas. The team went into action, much as we do when there’s a      emergency. But this was a Christmas emergency.
We were all      a free meal on Christmas Day, so we took back that meal and prepared a big dinner for our     .We needed presents. We      from different departments candies, fruits and other things      that could be presents. As seriously as we met the     needs of the patients, our team worked to meet the needs of a family who just wanted to be warm on Christmas.

Noah Webster, born on October 16, 1758 , is known for The American Dictionary of the English Language. He has been called the " Father of American Scholarship and Education. " His " Blue-Backed Speller" books were used to teach spelling and reading to five generations of American children. But how much .do you know about him beyond that?
At the age of 16, Noah Webster began attending ,Yale College. Unfortunately, he spent his four years at Yale during the American Revolutionary War, and, because of food shortages, many of his college classes were held in Glastonbury, Connecticut. Later, he served in the army.
Having graduated from Yale in 1778, Webster wanted to continue his education in order to earn his law degree. He had to teach school in order to pay for his education. He set up many small schools that didn't survive, but he was a good teacher because instead of forcing his students to learn, like most teachers did, he rewarded them. He earned his law degree in 1781, but did not practice law until 1789. Once he started he found the law was not to his liking.
Webster did not have much money. In 1793 , Alexander Hamilton lent him $ 1500 to move to New York City to edit a newspaper. In December, he founded New York ' s first daily newspaper, American Minerva, and edited it for four years. For decades, he published . textbooks, political essays, a report on some diseases, and newspaper articles for his party, He wrote so much that a modern list of his published works required 655 pages .Noah Webster died on May 28, 1843 and was buried in the Grove Street Cemetery.
