    When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate（照亮）me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share.

     When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say:“Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.

   When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend, He was in despair(失望)and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.

     For almost four years I have had remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think:“Yes, I must tell….”We have never met.

    It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist（心理學(xué)家），who will only fill up the healing（愈合的）silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.

1.In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to ______.

A. become serious about her study          B. go to her friend’s house regularly

C. learn from her classmates at school       D. share poems and stories with her friend

2.In Paragraph 3, “We gave London to each other” probably means ______.

A. our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of us

B. we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from London

C. our unpleasant feeling about London disappeared

D. we parted with each other in London

3.According to Paragraph 4, the author and her friend _______.

A. call each other regularly          B. have similar personalities

C. enjoy writing to each other        D. dream of meeting each other

4.In the darkest moments, the author would prefer to ______.

A. seek professional help            B. be left alone

C. stay with her best friend           D. break the silence

5.What is the best title for the passage?

A. Unforgettable Experiences          B. Remarkable Imagination

科目：高中英語 來源：2011-2012學(xué)年福建省三明一中高一下學(xué)期第二次月考英語試卷（帶解析） 題型：閱讀理解



One of my most unforgettable experiences is the day I finished my tough rowing and keep myself free of loneliness.
As the youngest female ever to row alone across the Atlantic Ocean, I was often asked the same question: How did you, a only 20-year old youngster row a 18-foot boat for 70 days through those strong winds and violent waves and survive?
Frankly speaking, for me, the physical challenge was not the greatest one. Before I made my mind to row across the Atlantic, I had already cycled 3,300 miles, run all by myself across the Mojave Desert, and swum the 325-mile length of the Allegheny River. No, the hardest part would be mental: How would I cope with the terrible loneliness and the boredom on the vast sea for such a long time?
I set out on January 1 and my first object was to swim past the quarter-way mark, which would take about 20 days. I made it on January 20, a gray and cloudy day. I had thought to do something to celebrate my first goal such as treating myself to a chocolate bar or something else. But I didn’t. I was suffering from unbearable boredom and loneliness of the long sea journey. I hadn’t seen any landing at least more than two weeks. It seemed to feel the same every day. Eating, rowing, sleeping, staring at the sky, watching the ocean.
Then that day came! It was around dusk, I noticed something move on the horizon. Yes, some dolphins! They approached me and circled my boat. Suddenly I felt so blessed. They had arrived to accompany me and helped to celebrate, just when I needed them so badly! For the next 15 minutes, I did row at full speed with all my strength with those lovely dolphins around. By the time they were to leave me and we went our separate ways, I was no longer lonely.
After 70 days and five hours at sea, I finally reached my final destination. I was proud that I made it, all 2,817 miles, which helped to raise $70,000 for the Blue Planet Run Foundation, an organization for funding drinking water. I’ve been told some athletes struggled to get through just by imagining the end during the whole process. But for me, what makes miracle is to focus your mind on the moment, where you experience the personal growth—those moments of awareness of being connected to the sun, the weather, and the waves. And, on the best day of my life, I had to admit those dolphins really freed myself from terrible loneliness.
【小題1】Which of the following belongs to part of preparation for the row?

A．Answering the same question raised by people
B．Swimming the 325-mile length of the river
C．Running 3,300 miles cross-country
D．Biking across the Mojave Desert
【小題2】The underlined part means ___________.
A．I wasn’t in the mood to celebrate my first goal
B．I didn’t have any chocolate bar for energy
C．It’s a pity not to celebrate my passing the quarter
D．It’s a pity not to treat myself to a chocolate bar
【小題3】What can be implied from the last two paragraphs?
A．The Blue Planet Run Foundation helped me a lot.
B．The dolphins accompanied me to reach my destination
C．The unexpected dolphins swept away my loneliness
D．Imagination was a useful way to help me get through
【小題4】Which can be the best title of the passage?
A．The only challenge for a 20-year old
B．Tips on handling loneliness at sea.
C．How to row alone across the Atlantic
D．The day I stopped being lonely

科目：高中英語 來源：2015屆湖北省高二上學(xué)期期中考試英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

I spend a lot of time backpacking and hiking the outdoors and there are two pieces of equipment that are with me on each trip: an Adventure Medical Kits Weekender and an Adventure Medical Kits Suture Syringe Kit. Both proved very helpful on my most recent adventures to the Wrangell in Alaska.

On that day, we were “blessed” with rain, making our water crossing on the Dixie Pass very difficult. Our party of 12 had almost reached our destination when I slipped, severely gashing(劃傷) my knee open in the process. While I could not see the wound at first because of the rain pants I was wearing, I knew it was severe.

  Blood was running freely and I made those standing nearby aware of the damage. They quickly came over to assist, pulled my pack off and removed the Weekender First Aid Kit and Suture Kit from it. Fortunately, one of my partners is a doctor called William, who has often performed this type of work in the operating room, not out in the wild.

  I seriously think he was more nervous about all this than me! I, of course, was more than happy that I did not have to stitch(縫合) myself up. As a marine, I’ve had to do it before. Fortunately, the sky had cleared up about two hours before, so we had great sunlight to work with. The doctor worked quickly with the assistance of another fellow camper acting as a nurse and placed seven stitches into my knee once the wound had been cleaned up.

  Later that evening we used a syringe(注射器) we set aside loaded with Iodine(抗炎藥) to clean the wound and then bandaged it again. The doctor was very impressed with the kits contents!

  I’ve already ordered another Suture Syringe Kit. I have to say the kits are worth their weight in gold! Thanks for the contents in the kits!

1.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 probably refer to?

A. the wound              B. the rain                 C. the kit                               D. the knee

2.Why did the author think that William was more nervous while performing the first aid than himself?

A. Because William didn’t know how to use the kits.

B. Because the author didn’t trust William.

C. Because the author hurt himself severely.

D. Because William had no experience of doing it in the wild.

3.From the passage, we can infer that the kits are__________.

A. useless                 B. extremely useful   C. troublesome             D. not essential

4.What is mainly discussed in the passage?

A. How first aid kits saved a backpacker in Alaska.

B. How a doctor did the operation in the wild.

C. How the author with 12 fellow campers hike the outdoors.

D. How the author hurt himself.
