It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80s came to the hospital. I heard him saying to the nurse that he was in a hurry for an appointment(約會(huì)) at 9:30.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

The nurse had him take a          in the waiting area, __   _him it would be at least 40 minutes        someone would be able to see him. I saw him        his watch and decided, because I was         busy—my patient didn’t appear at the appointed hour, I would examine his wound. While taking care of his wound, I asked him       he had another doctor’s appointment

The gentleman said no and told me that he         to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his        . He told me that she had been         for a while and that she had a special disease. I asked if she would be          if he was a bit late. He replied that she         knew who he was, and that she had not been able to          him for five years now. I was          , and asked him, “And you         go every morning, even though she doesn’t know who you are?”  

He smiled and said. “She doesn’t know me, but I know who she is.” I had to hold back           as he left.

Now I       that in marriages(婚姻), true love is      of all that is. The happiest people don’t      have the best of everything; they just       everything that they have.       Isn’t about how to live through the storm(暴風(fēng)雨), but how to dance in the rain.

試題分析:這是一個(gè)感人的故事,一位老人五年堅(jiān)持去醫(yī)院陪伴他生病的妻子,盡管她已經(jīng)認(rèn)不得他,但他說(shuō):他知道她是誰(shuí)。生活就是不離不棄,婚姻就是白頭到老、共度一生。

1.考查名詞辨析。A.呼吸;B.測(cè)試; C座位;D.洗澡。后面有waiting area,所以這里應(yīng)該是護(hù)士讓老人在休息區(qū)坐下。故選C。

2.考查動(dòng)詞辨析。 A.說(shuō)服;B.承諾;C.理解;D.告訴。護(hù)士請(qǐng)老人坐下,并告訴他至少要等四十分鐘。動(dòng)詞-ing形式表伴隨的動(dòng)作。故選D。

3.考查連詞辨析。A.如果;B.在……之前C.自從;D.在……之后。句意應(yīng)該是:在醫(yī)生給他看病之前要等待。故選B。

4.考查動(dòng)詞辨析。A.起飛;B.固定;C.看;D.繞。一個(gè)焦急的老漢會(huì)做的動(dòng)作,從后面可知 老人要去看望妻子,肯定是一直在看手表。故選C。

7.考查名詞辨析。用排除法。B是“忘記”,他忘記了回去吃飯這樣的事情,不算一個(gè)appointment;C agree to do是“同意做某件事情”,在文中沒(méi)人提要求,所以不存在同意不同意。D. happen to do“碰巧做某事”。所以句意應(yīng)該是:老人需要去護(hù)理之家和妻子一起吃飯。故選A(需要)。

8.考查名詞辨析。A.女兒;B.妻子;C.母親;D.妹妹。第五段的第一句出現(xiàn)了marriage ,可知是和妻子一起吃飯。故選B。

9.考查名詞辨析。A.晚;B.好;C.大約;D. 那里。結(jié)合前文應(yīng)該是:她得了一種特殊的病,在護(hù)理之家(那里)已經(jīng)呆了一段時(shí)間了。故選D。

13.考查動(dòng)詞辨析。A.移動(dòng);B.消失;C.吃驚;D.滿意。選項(xiàng)moved干擾度比較大,需要對(duì)全文的態(tài)度進(jìn)行把握,文中進(jìn)行到這里并沒(méi)有很明顯的作者的正面態(tài)度出現(xiàn),證據(jù)就在于他的那個(gè)問(wèn)句:你知道她不認(rèn)識(shí)你,還是每天早上要去陪她?這句話顯然不是一個(gè)正面態(tài)度的體現(xiàn),而真正的態(tài)度轉(zhuǎn)正的地方在倒數(shù)第二段,他忍住淚水,所以這里不能選moved這個(gè)表示正面態(tài)度的詞語(yǔ)。故選C。

I couldn’t go to _37__, partly because of my cold and partly because of my __38__ for the next day. My mum had said that tomorrow was going to be a __39__ .
Sweat stuck to my aching body. Finally, I gathered enough __40__ to sit up. I looked out of my small window into the night. There was a big bright __41__ hanging in the sky, giving off a magic glow.
My sister turned over as though she was as light as air. Why could she sleep soundly? Why wasn’t she __42__ too? Did she know about tomorrow?
I couldn’t stand the __43__ anymore, so I did what I always do to make myself feel better. I went to the __44__ and picked up my toothbrush and toothpaste. Pouring the red paste onto the brush, I cleaned back and forth, up and down.
Then I walked downstairs to look for some __45__of movement, some life. Gladiator, my cat, __46__ me as he meowed(貓叫)his sad song. He was on the old orange couch (長(zhǎng)沙發(fā)), sitting up on his front legs,   47   something to happen. He looked at me as if to say, “I’m __48__, pet me. I need a good hug.” Even the couch begged me to sit on it.
In one movement I settled down onto the soft   49 . This couch represented my birth, my parents’ marriage, and hundreds of other little __50__.
As I held Gladiator, my heart started beating heavily. My mind was __51__ with questions: What’s life? Am I really alive? Are you listening to me? Every time I moved my hand down Gladiator’s body, I had a __52__ thought; each touch sang a different song.
I forgot all about the __53__ and the next day’s surprise. The __54__ was so full of warmth and silence that I sank into its arms. Falling asleep with the big cat in my arms, I felt all my worries __55__ move away.

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:2011-2012學(xué)年遼寧省五校協(xié)作體高一下學(xué)期期中考試英語(yǔ)試卷(帶解析) 題型:閱讀理解

Betty and Harold have been married for years .But one thing still puzzles (困擾) old Harold .How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa ,talking ,go out to a ballgame ,come back three and a half hours later ,and they’re still sitting on the sofa ? Talking ?
What in the world ,Harold wonders ,do they have to talk about ?
Betty shrugs .Talk ? We’re friends .
Researching this matter called friendship ,psychologist Lillian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men .No matter what their age ,their job ,their sex ,the results were completely clear :women have more friendships than men ,and the difference in the content and the quality of those friendships is “marked and unmistakable .”
More than two –thirds of the single men Rubin interviewed could not name a best friend. Those who could were likely to name a woman .Yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend ,and almost always it was a woman .More married men than women named their wife/husband as a best friend ,most trusted person ,or the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress (感情危機(jī)).“Most women ,”says Rubin ,“identified (認(rèn)定) at least one ,usually more ,trusted friends to whom they could turn in a troubled moment ,and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives .”
“In general,”writes Rubin in her new book ,“women’s friendships with each other rest on shared emotions and support ,but men’s relationships are marked by shared activities.” For the most part ,Rubin says ,interactions (交往)between men are emotionally controlled –a good fit with the social requirements of “manly behavior .”
“Even when a man is said to be a best friend ,”Rubin writes ,“the two share little about their innermost feelings .Whereas a woman’s closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage ,it wasn’t unusual to hear a man say he didn’t know his friend’s marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa .”
【小題1】What old Harold cannot understand or explain is the fact that     .

A.he is treated as an outsider rather than a husband
B.women have so much to share
C.women show little interest in ballgames
D.he finds his wife difficult to talk to
【小題2】Rubin’s study shows that for emotional support a married woman is more likely to turn to     .
A.a(chǎn) male friend B.a(chǎn) female friendC.her parentsD.her husband
【小題3】Which of the following statements is best supported by the last paragraph ?
A.Men keep their innermost feelings to themselves.
B.Women are more serious than men about marriage.
C.Men often take sudden action to end their marriage.
D.Women depend on others in making decisions.
【小題4】The research done by psychologist Rubin centers around________ .
A.happy and successful marriages
B.friendships of men and women
C.emotional problems in marriage
D.interactions between men and women .

Every object tells a story. Even the most ordinary objects can present to us powerful images. Sometimes it is the ordinary nature of these objects that actually makes them so extraordinary. Such is the case with an old leather shoe in a museum in Alaska. At first glance it does not look like much. It is a woman’s shoe of a style popular in the 1890s. But what is unique(獨(dú)特的) about this shoe is where it was found. It was discovered on the Checkout Pass, the famous trail used by the people seeking gold in Alaska. Who it belonged to or why it was left there is not known. Was it perhaps dropped by accident as the woman climbed up the 1500 stairs carved outface? Or did she throw away goods that she didn’t need in order to travel lighter?
Over 100, 000 people with “gold fever” made this trip hoping to become millionaires. Few of them understood that on their way they would have to cross a harsh wildness. Unprepared for such a dangerous journey, many died of starvation and exposure to the cold weather.
The Canadian government finally started requiring the gold seekers to bring one ton of supplies with them. This was thought to be enough for a person to survive for one year. They would carry their supplies in backpacks(背包) each weighing up to fifty pounds; it usually took at least 40 trips to get everything to the top and over the pass. Whoever dropped the shoe must have been a brave and determined woman. Perhaps she was successful and made it to Alaska. Perhaps she had to turn back in defeat. No one will ever know for sure, but what we do know is that she took part in one of the greatest adventures in the 19th century.
【小題1】The ordinary woman’s leather shoe is considered unusual because ______. 

A.it was an important clue to life in the past
B.it was found on a famous trail
C.it at one time belonged to a VIP
D.it was a fashionable shoe at that time
【小題2】According to this passage, many people who went to Alaska ______. 
A.eventually became millionaires
B.brought with them many shoes
C.had conflicts with the Eskimos
D.were not properly equipped
【小題3】The Canadian government made gold seekers bring one year’s supplies with them so that ______.
A.they would not die of hunger and cold
B.the army would have enough food for fighting a war
C.they would change these goods with the Eskimos
D.the supplies would make Alaska rich
【小題4】No matter what happened to the woman who owned the shoe, ______. 
A.she must have lived a happy life
B.she certainly dropped the shoe on purpose
C.her adventurous spirit is definitely admired
D.her other shoes were equally fashionable

E
Research on the human brain has been attracting more and more scientists in recent years, just like the booming hi-tech industry. One of the latest research topics is how to change the human brain or combine the computer and the human brain, i.e. to transplant a chip into a human brain. This idea may make everyone’s dream come true. If we compare a human brain to a hard disc(硬盤), what the scientists are doing is to enlarge the capacity of the hard disc. For the time being, there are some difficulties in such transplant experiments, but scientists never give up.
Experiments have started on animals. In 1996, a transplant experiment performed at the Defense and Military Physiology Research Institute in the U.S. turned a bear into a dolphin.
The dolphin was named Ted, and the bear was named Tallin. Using the most advanced technology available, deep and detailed images were made of the memory area in Ted’s brain containing information about swimming by the scientists. They obtained a series of useful information, the signals transferred by the nervous system. Such information was saved into a button-sized chip, which was then transplanted into the action memory area in Tallin’s brain. The information saved on the chip was released by means of electric power.
Recently, another comprehensive memory transplant was performed at the Motor Nerve Research Institute of the University of California. The comprehensive memory transplanted in the experiment included actions, moods, logic, words, images, etc. The experiment involved an entire transplant of the memory area. This was the largest such experiment done so far.
The transplant was performed making a transfer from a dog named “Genius” to a dog named “Idiot”. “Genius” could understand and follow up to 100 gestures and orders made by its master. It was a real genius in memorizing. “Idiot” was the younger brother of “Genius”. It had no contact with people at all since its birth. It became an animal with nothing in its brain, without any memory.
The operation was a complete success. When the two dogs woke up, “Idiot” had grasped all the abilities “Genius” possessed; it was good at memorizing and sensible. It could follow every gesture and any command given by its master. But “Genius” gave no response to its master, and in fact did not recognize him at all.
57. The purpose of the experiment is _____.
A. to combine the computer and the human brain    
B. to enlarge the capacity of human brain
C. to make some stupid dog turn clever          D. to make bear swim
58. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The scientists transferred a button-sized chip with useful information in Tallin’s brain.
B. The first comprehensive memory transplant was performed at the Motor Nerve Research University.
C. The second experiment wasn’t an entire transplant of the memory area.
D. The Idiot was an animal with memory before brain experiment
59. What does the underlined word “success” refer to?
A. The two dogs woke up.
B. They were both good at memorizing.
C. The Idiot grasped all the abilities of Genius.
D. The Genius grasped all the abilities of Idiot.
60. According to the text, we can infer _____.
A. a person can know more after the experiment
B. a bear can swim after being transferred a chip with related useful information
C. a dog can become clever after entire transplant of the memory area
D. it is really good for animals to have been involved in the transplant experiment

B
How does a place become a World Heritage Site ( 世界遺產(chǎn) ) ? It takes a lot of people to decide.
1 )  If a country wants one of its places to be on the World Heritage List, it has to ask UNESCO ( 聯(lián)合國(guó)教科文組織 ) . The place must be important and special. UNESCO put the Great Wall on the list in 1987 because, it said, it was a great part of Chinese culture and beautifully made to go with the land. When a country asks, it must also make a plan for taking care of the place.
2 )  The World Heritage Committee of UNESCO talks about different places and decides whether to put them on the list. The committee meets every June. Many experts help the committee to decide.
3 )  After a new place goes on the list, UNESCO gives money to help keep it looking good. If a place is in serious danger, it may be put on the list of World Heritage Sites in Danger. UNESCO gives special care and help to those places.
4 )  Countries have to give UNESCO regular reports about places on the list. If UNESCO thinks a country isn’t taking good enough care of a place, the site will be taken off the list.
45.The passage implies that ________.
