It’s easy to see how to help some people, but what about those whose needs are not so obvious? This story may have happened a while back ---but it was a　 36　

which has stayed with me and helped me ever since.

It was Thanksgiving Day and I was 37　 with my parents at a shelter centre for the needy. Standing behind the counter, we 38　 hot food to whoever came in. Most of the people who came here looked like they had been　 39　 hard times. Their clothes were so worn-out, and they were so dirty. In short, they looked needy!

Then, a man came in , who looked 40 but needy. He was well dressed, for he wore an expensive suit. I wondered what he was doing there and my jaw dropped in 41　 when he joined the line for food. The closer he came to my service station, the more I 　42　 in a low voice. I wanted to know what this man was doing. 43　

he wasn’t going to take food 44　 for those who were really in need!

　 Then my mother 45　　 took me to one side. She said, “You have 　46　　

that the needs of the people who come here must be purely physical: hunger, lack of

47　 , clothing and so on. And this gentleman doesn’t seem to have any of those

48　 . But what if his needs are 49　 ? What if he needs comfort, friends, or just to be among other human beings?” Her words 50　 me like a ton of bricks! I felt like I should 　51　 to the man ---but I didn’t .

About a week later the shelter centre received a large 　52　 from an anonymous(匿名)source. I can’t help but 　53　 if it came from that man.

Now, whenever I meet someone I remember my mother’s lesson and try to send

kindness and blessings 　54　 what they look like. Needs aren’t always 　55　 .　 But kindness always makes a difference.

A story from the Bible tells of old Babylon, where the men decided to build a tower that would touch the sky．But God was unhappy, and he made them speak different languages．They couldn’t understand each other, so their dream never came true．

Yet the dream remains alive: if all men speak the same language, they can do anything．L．L．Zamenhof from Poland was among the men who pursue this dream．He developed Esperanto（世界語(yǔ)）between 1877 and 1885．

As the most successful man-made world language, it is spoken by over two million people around the world．Last month, the World Esperanto Congress（大會(huì)）, dealing with language rights, ended in Sweden．The 2004 conference will be held in Beijing．Most Esperanto speakers are in Central and Eastern Europe and in East Asia, particularly Chinese mainland．

Esperanto has two advantages．First, it’s easy．Each letter has exactly one sound and there are just 16 basic grammar rules．The second advantage is that it belongs to no one country．But Esperanto has only reached a small number of people compared with natural languages widely used around the world-such as English or Chinese．While these languages are deeply connected with their nations and cultures, Esperanto doesn’t have this background．

Will Esperanto really become a global language? It remains a question．

The writer tells us a story at the beginning to          ．

           A．explain why men have been making the effort to create a language shared by all

              B．explain why men now speak different languages

              C．show the relationship between man and God

              D．prove that language is very important

What does the underlined word “pursue” in the second paragraph mean?

              A．“Realize”．     B．“Work for”．   C．“Be against”． D．“Follow”．

What is the basic difference between Esperanto and English?

              A．More people speak English than Esperanto．

              B．Esperanto words are easier to spell．

              C．Esperanto has fewer grammar rules．

              D．Esperanto is not supported by any country or culture．

What does the story mainly talk about?

              A．Advantages and disadvantages of Esperanto．

              B．Men’s dream of sharing the same language．

              C．The most successful planned language-Esperanto．

              D．Comparison of Esperanto and other languages like English and Chinese．

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2015屆廣東廣州六中高一下期期末學(xué)業(yè)水平測(cè)試英語(yǔ)卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

I’m glad to find this comment which has some sort of support in this quest（尋求）I have to eat raw（未煮熟的）foods. I’m an unhealthy 49 years old and have come to the conclusion that it’s now or never, so I am taking a dive into the raw eating lifestyle.

I have to cook for my family and prepare what they want to eat. I’m trying to plan out this better so I have some of these unusual foods ready for myself.

I’ve read several books written by Ann Wigmore and like her approach to the living foods.

Last week I attempted fasting（禁食）and failed. I lasted five days by having carrots, spinach, apples and other vegetarian diets I could get my hands on. I was doing fine until I drank some coffee. I kind of proved it in my mind to have the coffee but it only made me excited and then I couldn’t sleep well and felt hungry and weak. So I stopped and went back to the old way of eating with the family.

This week I started to make a drink called rejuvelac made of sprouted wheat（芽麥）. This is fairly new to do for me and the drink smelled sort of musty（發(fā)霉的）and tasted kind of like a musty lemon. The kids tasted it and almost threw up but surprisingly it tasted good to me. It is supposed to help in digestion（消化）.

I’ve made some attempts to grow wheat grass. I think I have figured that out as long as I keep it away from birds and our horses. I have two habits to get rid of, drinking coffee and smoking. I quit smoking last month but something happened, so I started up again. I’m very frustrated(受挫的) with the smoking and really have a desire to quit for good. Anyhow I will keep this updated on my progress.

1.The author must have ________ before she wrote this article.

A. hesitated at whether she should eat raw foods

B. never eaten raw foods

C. made up her mind to eat raw foods instead of cooked ones

D. been discouraged by her family from fasting

2.The books written by Ann Wigmore which the author has read are probably about ________.

A. fasting

B. losing weight

C. how to be on a diet

D. approaches to eating raw foods

3.To the author, the drink made of sprouted wheat ________.

A. might help in digestion

B. might make people who drank it throw up

C. tasted good to anybody

D. was welcomed by the whole family

4.We can learn from the passage that ________ smoking.

A. the author has given up

B. the author will never give up

C. it’s hard for the author to quit

D. it’s easy for the author to quit

5.The author’s biggest worry at present is most probably ________.

A. that she can’t eat with her family

B. that she can’t get rid of drinking coffee and smoking

C. how to get used to raw foods

D. that she doesn’t know whether she should eat raw foods

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2014屆山東省高二上學(xué)期期末模擬英語(yǔ)試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

When we think about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, a pinnacle (頂點(diǎn)) of sheer (純粹的) delight. And those pinnacles seem to get rarer the older we get.

 1   I remember playing police and robbers in the woods, getting a speaking part in the school play. Of course, kids also experience lows, but their delight at such peaks of pleasure as winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved.

For teenagers, or people under 20 the concept of happiness changes.   2   I can still feel the pain of not being invited to a party that almost everyone else was going to. I also remember the great happiness of being invited at another event to dance with a very handsome young man.

In adulthood the things that bring great joy—birth, love, marriage—also bring responsibility and the risk of loss.   3   For adults, happiness is complex.

 4   But I think a better definition of happiness is “ the ability to enjoy something”. The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. It's easy to overlook the pleasure we get from loving and being loved, the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, even good health.

While happiness may be more complex for us, the solution is the same as ever. Happiness isn't about what happens to us; it’s the ability to find a positive for every negative, and view a difficulty as a challenge.   5  

A．Love may not last; loved ones die.

B．For a child, happiness has a magic quality.

C．Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life.

D．Being happy doesn’t mean that everything is perfect.

E. The dictionary defines “happy” as “l(fā)ucky” or “ fortunate”.

F. It's not wishing for what we don't have, but enjoying what we do possess.

G. Suddenly it’s conditional on such things as excitement, love, and popularity.
