Do you want a bit of an adventure? Would you like to discover all the corners of the UK, or travel abroad? Maybe you have never tried the motorhome lifestyle before. Well, read this article and you will know why a motorhome is a good choice.

Nothing is better than a motorhome. It has so many uses that it is considered the most versatile vehicle and it is also very comfortable. If you are thinking about hiring a motorhome this summer, then the best choice is to book it early, especially if you are considering the school holidays. The motorhome hire service is very seasonal and motorhome hire companies will never have extra vehicles available in the summer months.

There are a lot of companies throughout the UK, and some of the big ones have motorhomes spread all over the country. At present, the largest network for motorhome hire is provided by Motorhome which is based in Cambridge. If you are in the UK, you may phone 0800612-8719 for details of its motorhome hire information. Motorhome has a network of over 500 vehicles all over England, Scotland and Wales.

Most people wishing to hire a motorhome are families that are looking for an alternative to a European package holiday, especially as flying now has become more expensive, and is considered to be environmentally unfriendly. There is no doubt that the idea of no-fly holidays is going to become more popular as fewer people think it is safe to fly. This explains why more and more people are choosing to hire a motorhome for their holidays.

1.The main purpose of this text is to explain why it is a good idea to _________.

A. take an adventure B. travel to England

C. try a new lifestyle D. hire a motorhome

科目:高中英語 來源:吉林省長白山市2017屆高三第二次模擬考試英語試卷(有答案) 題型:閱讀理解

I am a 21-year-old boy, and this is my story.

One month after I graduated from high school in 2009, I was coming home from swim practice and was involved in a car accident. I was so seriously injured that I was in a coma(昏迷) for over two months at Prince Georges Hospital.

I died eight times during my coma and I couldn’t talk or communicate when I woke up. Walking was never going to happen again due to all the extreme injuries. Just like my body, my dreams were almost shattered. But I was not going to let my injuries prevent me from living my dreams.

After 14 operations and blood transfusions, I had to learn how to talk, eat, walk, shower and live independently again. When I was out of hospital, I still had to go to outpatient therapy in Waldorf, Maryland. After spending a few months in a wheelchair, I took baby steps to walk on my own. It was a miracle that I could walk again, but I wanted to prove that I could not only walk, but run. When it came true, I wanted to get back in the pool again. After a few lung tests, I was able to go in the pool a little bit each week. After a few months of swim training, I began my freshman year at St. Mary’s College of Maryland and became a proud member of the swim team.

By telling my story, I want to make a positive influence on the world. I am just trying to live each day to the fullest and inspire other people never to give up their dreams no matter how bad a situation is. I remember when I was still in my hospital bed, I would have my mom and dad push me around in my wheelchair to the other rooms to see the other patients and talk to them and their families. I wanted to let them know that everything was going to be okay. Somehow, things would work out for the best.

1.When the car accident happened, the author ________.

A. was a high school student B. had finished his high school education

C. was a college student D. was returning home from a swim competition

2.What does the underlined word “shattered” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Begun B. Destroyed C. Shared D. Taken

3.It can be inferred that the author ________ after he woke up from his coma.

A. was out of hospital B. was in surprise

C. faced physical and mental challenges D. was worried about his lung

4.What does the author mainly want to show in the last paragraph?

A. His purpose of sharing his story. B. His painful experiences.

C. His influence on students. D. His great achievements.

It was an old apartment building, in which many parts are made of wood. Regardless of the warning of firemen, the residents wouldn’t move out because they were poor and had nowhere to go.

One night, the building was on fire. The residents began to run for their lives. When half of the population had got themselves out, the wooden staircases broke down.

科目:高中英語 來源:河南省安陽市2017屆高三第二次模擬考試英語試卷 題型:閱讀理解

Many of us recognize that familiar feeling of eagerly tearing open a carefully wrapped gift box, only to find a terrible woolen sweater. But what makes a good gift? The answer is very different, depending on whether you ask the gift giver or receiver.

A study published this month in Current Directions highlights the disconnection between the gifts we actually want and the ones we want to give, and offers some insights that may come in handy this holiday shopping season.

Psychologists have long known that we often struggle to predict other people’s preferences, and according to study co-author Elanor Williams, a marketing professor at Indiana University Bloomington, our ego(自我) may be to blame.

As gift givers, we tend to focus on the gift exchange itself, eagerly anticipating(期待)the warm feeling we get when we see the other person’s face light up with joy on opening our present. However, gift receivers focus more on the gift itself: Is it useful? Is it wanted?

Williams says the best strategy may be to simply ask people what they want. “There’s a misconception that the best-received gifts are the ones that are unexpected, but that’s just not true,” he explains. “The best-received gifts are the ones that best match what the receiver actually desires.”

Research on gift giving may feel a little dull, but as Williams points out, gift giving is something we do all the time. He adds that it plays an important social role—giving gifts can help us cater for (迎合) others and strength social bonds. There is also a more practical reason to up our gift-giving game—every holiday season, we shell out(支付) hundreds of billions of dollars on presents. “If we’re dong that,” he says, “We might as well get it right.”

1.What do we know about Current Directions?

A. It may be a magazine about psychological science.

B. It may be an advertisement about holiday shopping.

C. It may be a commercial report about people’s preferences.

D. It may be a wall newspaper in a shopping community.

2.In which case can the gift be regarded as the best-received one?

A. My friend gave me a ticket for a film but I was too busy to see it.

B. I bought a favorite book but a friend sent me another copy of it.

C. My aunt sent me a sweater in summer because it was cheap.

D. My uncle sent me a new mobile phone which I need badly.

3.What does the passage mainly intend to tell us?

A. Different feelings between gift gives and receivers.

B. How and why we should choose well-received gifts.

C. What makes a good gift in different holiday seasons.

D. Best-received gifts are the ones that are unexpected.
