We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money, but most mistakes are about people.“Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?”“When I got that great job,did Jim really feel good about it，as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad.But when we look back,it’s too late.

Why did we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don’t really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you,“You’re a lucky dog.” Is he really on your side? If he says,“You’re a lucky guy！”that’s being friendly. But“l(fā)ucky dog”? There’s a bit of envy in those words. What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.

“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for”is another noise that says one thing and means another.It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem.But this phrase contains the thought that your problem isn’t important.

How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says shown by the tone of voice? The look in his eyes? Stop and think.The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.

1.By saying“You’re a lucky dog,”the speaker_______.

A. is just being friendly

B. expresses the same meaning as “You’re a lucky guy”

C. may has a hidden jealous feeling behind the words

D. is humorous to apply the word“dog”to people

2.In listening to a person,the important thing is______.

A. to notice his tone,his posture,and his clothes

B. to listen to how he pronounces his words

C. to check his words against his manner,his tone of voice.

D. not to believe what he says

3.This passage tries to tell you how to______.

A. avoid mistakes about both money and people

B. say things elegantly

C. keep people friendly without trusting them

D. avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you

One of the Queen’s closest relatives and oldest friends was allowed to give a deep description into the family life of the Royals. Although there have been hundreds of other books declaring to offer a quick look behind the Palace doors, this is the first written by someone who is closely related to the Royal Family and has shared their lives—not only throughout the Queen’s reign (統(tǒng)治) but also through that of her father, King George VI.

The Final Curtsey was written by her Majesty’s cousin and childhood playmate the Honorable Margaret Rhodes. It tells in details the story of Mrs. Rhodes’s relationship with the Royal family over eight decades. The book, with delightfully informal and never-before-seen pictures, has been written with the full knowledge of the Queen, who has read and approved parts of it.

Born in 1925, the Honorable Margaret Rhodes has led an extraordinary life. She was the childhood playmate of her cousin, the Queen; a wartime M16 spy; and she was a lady-in- waiting (宮女) to her aunt, the Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, from 1991 until the latter’s death in 2002. At the Queen’s 80th birthday in April 2006, Margaret gave an interview to the BBC which she proved that, in her own opinion and despite several false reports, the Queen would not abdicate(退位).

In this charming autobiography (自傳)，she told how she was offered a house to live in the Royal farm in Windsor Great Park unexpectedly. One day when she and the Queen were out riding outside, she suddenly returned and said, “Could you bear to live in the suburb?” “I think it should be OK.” Therefore Mrs. Rhodes is now still living there.

1.Compared with other books about the Royal Family, the biggest advantage of The Final Curtsey is that _______.

A. its author is very famous

B. its author knows the Queen well

C. it presents reader a very different Queen

D. it has pictures that have never been seen

2.When Mrs. Rhodes was offered to live in the Royal farm, she was _______.

A. unhappy B. surprised

C. sad D. disappointed

3.We can learn from Paragraph 3 that Mrs. Rhodes ________.

A. has lived quite a long life

B. was so famous that BBC interviewed her

C. has a close relationship with the royal family

D. has been very busy and kept on changing jobs

4.The passage is mainly about________.

A. a book about royal family

B. the Queen’s life

C. the life of Margaret Rhodes

D. the Queen’s abdication

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2015-2016學(xué)年四川雅安天全中學(xué)高二下期中考試英語(yǔ)試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

On my first day of high school, I asked an eleventh-grader where my class was. And he told me it was “on the fourth floor, next to the pool.” I found out five minutes later that we don’t even have a fourth floor and there’s no pool either! Besides that, I didn’t have any trouble with the older kid.

I think the biggest difference between middle and high school is the homework load (工作量) and size of the school. I went from maybe fifteen minutes of homework a night to several hours, so I had to learn how to make full use of time! Our class size is around 550, but joining in clubs, sports, music, and other activities at school makes it easier to get to know people in every grade.

The best advice I can give about the years you spend in high school is to learn things for yourself, not just to get a good grade. There have been so many tests that I’ve prepared for the night before, gotten an A, and not remembered anything later. I’ve changed that this year, and I enjoy school so much more. Don’t take easy classes just to have a simple year. If you have a choice between chemistry and sports, the first will prove to be a lot more useful!

While drinking and smoking might be present in some middle schools, they’re also around in high school. I have a lot of friends who promised they’d never drink or smoke, but are now partying every weekend. If you have “fun”and spend your nights wasted instead of studying, you will regret it when you’re applying for (申請(qǐng)) college. The “friends” who say you’re a loser for not partying are really not your friends at all. It’s hard to see your closest friends grow apart and go in different directions, but don’t follow their footsteps. Create your own path in life and make your own decisions.

1. What happened to the author on his first day of high school?

A. He had a fight with an eleventh-grader.

B. He fell into a pool on the fourth floor.

C. He was five minutes late for class.

D. He was fooled by a schoolboy.

2.The author advises high school students to _____.

A. choose useful classes

B.give up sports

C. try their best to get good grades

D. get ready for tests the night before

3. The last paragraph mainly tells us _____.

A. not to lose ourselves in high school

B. about the importance of making friends

C. not to go to any party in high school

D.about the trouble caused by drinking and smoking

D. Different views on the topic are presented.

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

Everyone gathered around and Paddy read out loud, slowly, his tone growing sadder and sadder. The little headline said: BOXER RECEIVES LIFE SENTENCE.

Frank Cleary, aged 26, professional boxer, was today found guilty of the murder of Albert Cumming, aged 32, laborer, last July. The jury (陪審團(tuán)) reached its decision after only ten minutes, recommending the most severe punishment the court could give out. It was, said the judge, a simple case. Cumming and Cleary had quarreled violently at the Harbour Hotel on July 23rd and the police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the unconscious Cumming. When arrested Cleary was drunk but clear-thinking…

Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour. Asked if he had anything to say, Cleary answered, “Just don’t tell my mother.”

“It happened over three years ago,” Paddy said helplessly. No one answered him or moved, for no one knew what to do. “Just don’t tell my mother,” said Fee numbly. “And no one did! Oh, God! My poor, poor Frank!”

Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said. “Fee dear, pack your things. We’ll go to see him.”

She half-rose before sinking back, her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead. “I can’t go,” she said without a hint of pain, yet making everyone feel that the pain was there. “It would kill him to see me. I know him so well— his pride, his ambition. Let him bear the shame alone, it’s what he wants. We’ve got to help him keep his secret. What good will it do him to see us? ”

Paddy was still weeping, but not for Frank, for the life which had gone from Fee’s face, for the dying in her eyes. Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune, always stood between Fee and himself. He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children.

Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away. But Paddy’s love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank.

So he said, “Well, Fee, we won’t go. But we must make sure he is taken care of. How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank?”

The eyes didn’t liven, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks. “Yes, Paddy, do that. Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out. Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don’t know.”

1.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Frank was found guilty of murder because he was a professional boxer.

B. The family didn’t find out what happened to Frank until three years later.

C. The jury and the judge disagreed on whether Frank had committed murder.

D. Frank didn’t want his family to find out what happened because Paddy disliked him.

2.Paddy didn’t cry for Frank because he thought ________.

A. Frank did kill someone and deserved the punishment

B. Frank should have told Fee what had happened

C. what had happened to Frank was killing Fee

D. Frank had always been a man of bad moral character

3.Which of the following suggests that Fee was deeply shocked by what happened to Frank?

A. “Her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead.”

B. “Let him bear the shame alone, it’s what he wants.”

C. “Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away.”

D. “The eyes didn’t liven, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks.”

4.“She half-rose before sinking back …” (in Paragraph 6) shows that ________.

A. Fee was so heart-broken that she could hardly stand up

B. Fee didn’t want to upset Paddy by visiting Frank

C. Fee couldn’t leave her family to go to see Frank

D. Fee struggled between wanting to see Frank and respecting his wish
