A man once said how useless it was to put advertisements in the newspaper.
“Last week, ” he said,  “my umbrella was stolen from a London church. As
it was a present,  I spent twice its worth in advertising,  but didn’t get it back. ”
“How did you write your advertisement? ” asked one of the listeners,  a merchant.
　　“Here it is, ” said the man,  taking out of his pocket a slip cut from a newspaper. The other man took it and read,  “Lost from the City Church last Sunday evening,  a black silk umbrella. The gentleman who finds it will receive ten shillings on leaving it at No. 10 Broad Street. ”
“Now, ” said the merchant,  “I often advertise,  and find that it pays me well. But the way in which an advertisement is expressed is of extreme importance. Let us try for your umbrella again,  and if it fails,  I’ll buy you a new one. ”
　　The merchant then took a slip of paper out of his pocket and wrote:  “If the man who was seen to take an umbrella from the City Church last Sunday evening doesn’t wish to get into trouble,  he will return the umbrella to No. 10 Broad Street. He is well known. ”
　　This appeared in the newspaper,  and on the following morning,  the man was astonished when he opened the front door. In the doorway lay at least twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colors,  and his own was among them. Many of them had notes fastened to them saying that they had been taken by mistake,  and begging the loser not to say anything about the matter.
小題1:The result of the first advertisement was that＿＿＿＿ .
A．the man got his umbrella back
B．the man wasted some money advertising
C．nobody found the missing umbrella
D．the umbrella was found somewhere near the church
小題2:The merchant suggested that the man should＿＿＿ .
A．buy a new umbrella
B．go on looking for his umbrella
C．write another and better advertisement

A．was quite sure of success
B．wanted to buy him a new umbrella
C．didn’t know what to do
D．was rich enough to buy one
小題4:The story is mainly about ＿＿＿＿＿.
A．a(chǎn) useless advertisement
B．how to make an effective advertisement
C．how the man lost and found his umbrella
D．what the merchant did for the umbrella owner

小題1:B

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

Everyone agrees that all the creatures want happiness and are afraid of pain and grief. The question, however, is “What is real happiness?” The desire for happiness has no meaning without understanding the real nature of happiness.
Generally, ordinary beings consider sensual（感覺(jué)的） pleasures as happiness, and their actions are directed toward gaining these. According to them, searching for happiness means searching for pleasures of the senses. The question, “What is happiness?”, does not arise（出現(xiàn)） in their hearts, because in their hearts they think of a life full of sensual joys as a happy life.
Some thinkers say, “Happiness does not lie in the objects of enjoyment; happiness or unhappiness lies in the imagination.” To prove their belief they give examples like the following one. A man has a two-storey house. When he thinks of those who have a house with three storeys or more, he feels unhappy. When he thinks of those who have just a cottage, he feels happy. Such happiness does not lie in possessions（占有物）, but in the imagination. They advise people to take inspiration from those who have few possessions but are quite happy. If you only consider people wealthier than yourself, you will always be unhappy.
If you want to be happy, they say, look at the poor. But it is unreasonable to hold that happiness lies in the imagination. And it is inappropriate to think that someone is happy if he only imagines himself better than the poor and the unhappy. This attitude also satisfies the sense of pride of possession. This can never be called happiness. Unless we find out where happiness lies, we cannot really become happy.
Some ask people to do this or that, and say, “This way your desires will be satisfied. That way you will get what you want and become happy.” People holding these views regard happiness as satisfaction of desires and unhappiness as denial(否定) of such satisfaction.
小題1:What kind of life can make common people feel happy?
A．Life without pain and grief.
B．Life full of sensual pleasures.
C．Life with desire for possessions.
D．Life full of imagination.
小題2:The underlined word “cottage” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to ________.
A．a(chǎn) house in one’s imaginationB．a(chǎn) modern building
C．a(chǎn) desired objectD．a(chǎn) small house
小題3:The author may agree that ________.
A．by comparing themselves with the poor, people will feel happy
B．people won’t feel happy without a desire for happiness
C．possessing wealth may lead to a sense of pride
D．people have to experience pain and grief before finding happiness
小題4:The best title for this passage would be “________”.
A．What Is Happiness?B．How to Get Happiness
C．Happiness and DesireD．Happiness and Imagination

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box car in a freight yard in Atlantic City and landing on my head. Now I am thirty two. I can slightly remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is. It would be wonderful to see again, but a calamity(災(zāi)難) can do strange things to people. It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadn't been blind. I believe in life now. I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so deeply, otherwise. I don't mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate the more what I had left.
Life, I believe, asks a continuous series of adjustments to reality. The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments, the more meaningful his own private world becomes. The adjustment is never easy. I was totally confused and afraid. But I was lucky. My parents and my teachers saw something in me--a potential to live, you might call it--which I didn't see, and they made me want to fight it out with blindness.
The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself. That was basic. If I hadn't been able to do that, I would have collapsed (崩潰) and become a chair rocker on the front porch for the rest of my life. When I say belief in myself I am not talking about simply the kind of self confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone. That is part of it. But I mean something bigger than that: an assurance（確信） that I am, despite imperfections, a real, positive person; that somewhere in the sweeping, intricate（錯(cuò)綜復(fù)雜的） pattern of people there is a special place where I can make myself fit.
It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance. It had to start with the simplest things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was making fun of me and I was hurt. "I can't use this." I said. "Take it with you," he urged me, "and roll it around." The words stuck in my head. "Roll it around! "By rolling the ball I could hear where it went. This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible: playing baseball. At Philadelphia's Overbrook School for the Blind I invented a successful variation of baseball. We called it ground ball.
All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them, one at a time. I had to learn my limitations. It was no good to try for something I knew at the start was wildly out of reach because that only invited the bitterness of failure. I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress.
小題1:We can learn from the beginning of the passage that _______
A．the author lost his sight because of a car crash.
B．the author wouldn't love life if the disaster didn't happen.
C．the disaster made the author appreciate what he had.

A．How to adjust himself to reality.
B．Building up assurance that he can find his place in life.
C．Learning to manage his life alone.
D．How to invent a successful variation of baseball.
小題3:According to the context, "a chair rocker on the front porch" in paragraph 3 means that the author __________
A．would sit in a rocking chair and enjoy his life.
B．would be unable to move and stay in a rocking chair.
C．would lose his will to struggle against difficulties.
D．would sit in a chair and stay at home.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father,“But,Dad,you can’t be healthy if you’re dead?”
Dad,in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run,had forgotten to wear his safety belt——a mistake 75% of the US population make every day.The big question is why.
There have been many myths about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago.The following are three of the most common.
Myth Number One:It’s best to be“thrown clear”of a serious accident.
Truth:Sorry,but any accident serious enough to “throw you clear”is also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing.And chances are you’ll have traveled through a windshield(擋風(fēng)玻璃)or door to do it.Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater in cases where people are“thrown clear.”
Myth Number Two:Safety belts“trap”people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.
Truth:Sorry again,but studies show that people knocked unconscious(昏迷)due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents,People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situations,not to be trapped in them.
Myth Number Three:Safety belts aren’t needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour(mph).
Truth:When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other,an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters.
小題1:Why did Elizabeth say to her father,“But Dad,you can’t be healthy if you’re dead”?
A．He didn’t have his safety belt on.
B．He was running across the street.
C．He was driving at great speed
D．He didn’t take his medicine on time.
小題2:The reason Father was in a hurry to get home was that he____.
A．wasn’t feeling very well
B．wanted to take some exereise
C．hated to drive in the dark
D．didn’t want to be caught by the police
小題3:According to the text,to be “thrown clear”of a serious accident is very dangerous
because you_____.
A．may be knocked down by other cars
B．may get caught in the car door
C．may find it impossible to get away from the seat
D．may get seriously hurt being thrown out of the car
小題4:Some people prefer to drive without wearing a safety belt because they believe__.
A．they will be unable to think clearly in an accident
B．the belt prevents them from escaping in an accident
C．they will be caught when help comes
D．cars catch fire easily
小題5:What is the advice given in the text?
A．Never drive faster than 30 miles an hour.
B．Never forget to wear the safety belt while driving.
C．Try your best to save yourself in a car accident.
D．Drive slowly while you’re not wearing a safety belt.

As educators, we often never know the influence we have on our students. It is always wonderful to have ___35___ students visit us and share the successes they have achieved. And those glorious moments, when we can instantly see the influence we have on a student, fuel us to continue making connections hoping to ___36___ in the life of every child.
As a music teacher for twenty-seven years, I have always known that music ___37___ the soul. It can ___38___ all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way. It can be the ___39___ for each child to find their light. I would like to share a story about it.

One of my most ___41___ students was a five-year-old girl called Vanessa, who had difficulty walking, and could not speak. We ___42___ sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to sit on my lap. One of her favorite songs was “John the Rabbit.” It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students ___43___ twice while singing the repeating phrase, “Oh, yes!” Vanessa liked to ___44___ her hands together with mine and clap with me. We probably performed that song during every class, Vanessa and I clapping together. But she ___45___ said or sang a word.
One day late in the school year, when the song was finished, Vanessa turned around, looked me dead in the eye, clapped her tiny hands twice and said the words “Oh, yes!” I opened my mouth in ___46___ and for that moment I was the one who could not speak. When my heart ___47___ started beating again, I looked over at the assistant teacher to find her also ___48___. Through music, we had made an awesome connection.
Several years later, I passed Vanessa on the street in town. I stopped my car and waved to say hello. She waved back with a big ___49___ on her face and then clapped her hands twice, imitating the song we had ___50___ so many times in our music class. This precious little girl, ___51___ her connection with music, left an impression on me that will last forever. Every child has the ___52___ to learn and grow. It is up to us as educators to ___53___ the way to reach each and every one of our students. We all must find each child’s ___54___.
