The employees themselves fetch their dishes  43  a counter at which they are 44. There they can find a tray on  45  to carry their knives, forks, spoons, plates, cups, saucers, 46, of course, their food.

Some companies that do not run a canteen  50  their staff with luncheon-vouchers (午餐券), which many restaurants will accept in 51  of money.
As there are so many people  52  work in London, there are numerous cafes and restaurants in every area that is not purely residential.

小題1: B。 主句和從句是因果關(guān)系，應選擇表示因果關(guān)系的連詞，即"因為大多數(shù)人離家太遠，所以他們被迫自己安排午餐"。as這里作"因為"講。
小題1:A。 注意as引導從句的too...to結(jié)構(gòu)，句意：“離家太遠無法回家吃午飯”，選擇介詞for符合此意，go back for lunch“ 回家吃午飯”。
小題1:C。make arrangement for是固定搭配，意即："對……作安排"。

小題1:B。 主語是number，謂語動詞應使用第三人稱單數(shù)。
小題1:D。 fetch…from… 意為“從……取……”，是指就餐的人從餐桌自己拿盤子。
小題1: B。 次空前的they指的是前文提到的employees, 此句用的是被動語態(tài)。就餐人員自己從餐桌取飯菜, 因此選擇served。
小題1:A。 簡單定語從句。tray意為“托盤”，就餐的人能在托盤上（on which）放
小題1:C 。and用于連接并列的賓語�？涨傲信e的是餐具，空后列舉的是食物，所列舉的東西都是托盤上所放的東西。
小題1:A。 consist of為固定搭配，意為"由……組成"。餐廳里的食物不貴，而且有湯，魚和土豆條或是肉和蔬菜。
小題1:B。 with fruit，即主食（meat and two vegetables）加上水果。
小題1:A。 此處of與名詞連用，表示具有某種性質(zhì)、狀態(tài)，作后置定語，a pudding of some sort as dessert意為"作為飯后甜點的某種布丁"。some sort意為"某種"。
小題1: D。provide sb. with sth.意為“為某人提供什么東西”，沒有餐廳的公司會為員工提供午餐券。
小題1:D。 in place of意為"代替"，文中的意思是"用餐券代替現(xiàn)金"。
小題1:A。 at work為固定搭配，意為"在工作中的"。為介詞短語作后置定語，修飾主語people。
小題1:B。 這里只表示一種可能性。因此選擇may。一頓飯可能會花掉很少或很多的錢。
小題1:C。depending on除了表示"依賴于"，此處表示"取決于"，這里表示"取決于選擇的飯店和食物"。
小題1: A。 后文說人們看在酒吧里也能吃頓小事。與前文在邏輯上表示遞進關(guān)系，因此選擇moreover“而且”。

Begin doing the work you love as soon as possible, even if you don’t get paid for it, or if you can only work at it part-time. Albert Einstein was unable to get a job as a physics professor. He could have said to himself, “Well, I just don’t have the work relative to physics. I should give up on it and settle for something else.” Instead, he wrote the two most famous papers when he was employed as a patent  clerk. After their publication, there was not a major university in the world that would not have been glad to have him on their staff.
If you want to work as an artist and you are making a living as a waiter, don’t think of yourself as a waiter who hopes one day to become an artist. That puts the work you love somewhere off in the distant future. Rather, think of yourself as an artist, supporting yourself by waiter tables—and paint, or draw as much as you can. It is possible to earn a living wage as a waiter working 24 hours a week. That leaves plenty of time to devote to training or developing your craft（手藝）in the off hours.
While seeking the work you love, it helps to expand your awareness  into the universe of all possibilities. You don’t want to be limited to the ideas of what you should do or what you have done before. Having opened to all possibilities, you can make a final decision and select the work you love as your own.
Doing the work you love requires that you be equally comfortable with the imaginative and the practical. It requires the ability to dream big dreams and the ability to face and master all the little details that make dreams come true.
小題1:According to the passage, perhaps Einstein once said to himself, “_______.”
A．Well, I just don’t have the work relative to physics. I should give up on it and settle for
something else
B．The job is just what I want, I should work very hard at it
C．I have to support myself by working as a patent clerk now, but I won’t give physics up
D．I must wait until I find my favorite job
小題2:If a person works 24 hours a week, he can________.
A．have enough spare time for his hobbies
B．have no time left to make his dream come true
C．do nothing else
D．make a good living
小題3:Which of the following is not implied in the last paragraph?
A．Sometimes the imaginative is different from the practical.
B．We have to take care of a lot of details before we make our dreams come true.
C．We shall do practical things rather than dream.
D．We shall dream big dreams and practice as well.
小題4:According to the passage, the author encourages us to ________.
A．start work quickly B．select job carefully and patiently
C．dream oftenD．make up our minds quickly

She is quiet, soft-spoken and has a kind face and a strong heart. She is my mom, Lili.
When I was nine, Lili quitted her job and started her own business. She said she didn’t want to stay at home and work as a housewife: “It’s a waste of life.” Lili became so busy that she spent less and less time with me. She didn’t help me with my schoolwork. It was, in her words, “so that you can develop your independence”. We quarreled because she rarely showed up at parents’ meetings.
Like mother, like daughter. I have many things in common with Lili. I want everything to be under control. I want to be perfect and I don’t expect other people to help me. I push myself hard to achieve my goals.
After I started to go to high school, Lili and I were too busy to communicate much with each other.
In biology class I began to be depressed. When the teacher showed us a picture of a butterfly, I was scared and screamed. I had a vision of thousands of butterflies flying toward me.
That night I told Lili about it. The next morning, I saw that she had red eyes with black circles around them.
She took me to see a therapist (治療師). Three hours later, the therapist told Lili that my life was like a wheel spinning (旋轉(zhuǎn)) faster and faster and that was the reason for what had happened to me. I only realized it when my body couldn’t stand the pressure anymore. At these words, Lili burst into tears. “It’s all my fault, she’s just a kid and I didn’t have time to take care of her….”  To be honest, I had never seen Lili cry before.
After that, Lili began to spend more time at home, cooking and dragging me to do sports. I realized she was the one who would always be there when I was in real trouble. No mom is perfect, but she is the one who really cares about her kid.

It seems that some people go out of their way to get into trouble．That’s more or less what happened the night that Nashville Police officer Floyd Hyde was on duty.
“I was on the way to a personal-injury accident in West Nashville．As I got onto  Highway 40，blue lights and sirens(警笛)going.I fell in behind a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seemed to take off quickly down the highway．The driver somehow panicked at the sight of me．He was going more than a hundred miles an hour and began passing cars on the shoulder．”
But Hyde couldn’t go after him．Taking care of injured people is always more important than worrying about speeders，so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident．But he did try to keep the Firebird in sight as he drove，hoping another nearby unit would be able to step in and stop the speeding car．As it turned out，keeping the Firebird in sight was not that difficult．Every turn the Pontiac made was the very turn the officer needed to get to the accident scene.
Hyde followed the Pontiac all the way to his destination(目的地)．At that point he found another unit had already arrived at the accident scene．His help wasn’t needed.Now he was free to try to stop the driver of the Firebird，who by this time had developed something new to panic about．
“Just about that time，” Hyde said，“I saw fire coming out from under that car，with blue smoke and oil going everywhere.He’d blown his engine．Now he had to stop．”
“After I arrested him．I asked him why he was running．He told me he didn’t have a driver’s license(執(zhí)照)．”
That accident cost the driver of the Firebird plenty---a thousand dollars for the new engine---not to mention the charges for driving without a license，attempting to run away，and dangerous driving．
小題1:The underlined word“panicked”in Paragraph 2 means       .
A．fearedB．hatedC．excitedD．satisfied
小題2:The driver of the Firebird suddenly speeded down the highway because         .
A．he was racing with another driver on the road

You probably know you should say “please” and “thank you” at restaurants. You probably know the rules of a library. You know you should respect and be nice to your classmates. But do you have music manners?
Keep It Down! You have to notice the volume of your music. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, when you play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people can’t hear the words of the song. They just hear a loud sound. No one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your ears. So even if you are alone when listening to our MP3 players, you shouldn’t turn it up too high.
Take Them Off! You need to know when to turn your MP3 off and put it away. Libraries, and schools don’t allow MP3 players. There are other places, like museums, that don’t have rules, but it would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Sometimes, it doesn’t make sense to listen on your MP3 player at event. Why would you listen to music at a play, a movie or a sporting event? You would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came.
Take One Out! Once in a while it’s okay just to take out one earphone and not other. Imagine you are listening on your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone and it’s not for you.
It’s Your Choice! There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people can listen to music on their MP3 players when reading books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you.
小題1:The underlined word “volume” in Paragraph Two probably means “_________.”
A．the type of musicB．the amount of a sound
C．the length of a songD．the colour of an MP3 player
小題2:No one wants to listen to_________from others’ MP3 players.
A. a loud sound     B. sad stories    
C. a long movie      D. the words of a song
43. We should turn down the music when we are alone because loud music_________.
A. is not enjoyable      B. makes us tired  
C. is bad for MP3 players  D. hurts our ears
小題3: If we listen to our MP3 player at a play, _________.
A．the theatre won’t allow itB．the actors will get angry
C．others won’t hear the play wellD．we will miss part of the play
小題4:We can take one earphone out when we _________.
A．show others the wayB．talk to friends on the phone

My basketball coach at Princeton used to say, "On the court, you can tell who is selfish(自私的)."
  　When my sister Michelle brought Barack Obama home to meet the family, she said to me, "I want you to take him out to play, to see what type of man he is when he’s not around me." So I invited Barack to play basketball with a few friends of mine.
  　I was very nervous although I had already met Barack a few times. I was thinking this guy seemed like a good guy. We played a hard five-on-five. He was thin but not weak. He played extremely left-handed. He dealt with everything perfectly. He wasn’t the best guy out there or the worst guy. I liked the fact that he was confident but wasn’t proud. Barack was very team-oriented (有團隊精神的), very unselfish. He played as if he was one of us —he wasn’t trying to be president of Harvard Law Review. But the best part about it was that when we were on the same team, he did not pass me the ball each time. He wasn’t trying to suck up to my sister through me. I was glad to give my sister the good news, "Your boy is straight."
  　He isn’t selfish, which is the greatest praise you can give both a player and a leader. America has got a guy who is running a government in an efficient (有效率的) manner. That’s the same guy I got to know playing basketball when he was visiting my family.
小題1: Why does the author begin the passage with his coach’s words?
A．He wants to remember and thank his coach.
B．He wants to show that he is a basketball player.
C．He wants to tell his sister about the words.
D．He wants to use the words to test a person.
小題2:Why did Michelle ask the author to take Barack to play basketball?
A．To see whether he was confident.
B．To see whether he was good at sports.
C．To see whether he was selfish or not.
D．To see whether he could get along with others.
小題3:During the basketball game, Barack ______.
A．played best all the timeB．was strong enough to play
C．was not confidentD．wanted to be the team leader
小題4: The underlined phrase in the third paragraph can be replaced by "______".
A．please （使?jié)M意）B．know aboutC．helpD．look for

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

When you do some minor image editing (修正) on your computer screen, you may make some mistakes, so from time to time you’d click undo (撤消).
There are things in life we cannot undo as easily and completely as we would with our computer files. A wrong turn, a hurtful word said to a loved one, a bad move — these we all commit as we walk our life’s journeys, no matter how careful we are in our steps. Once committed, we can no longer undo many of these mistakes, especially because unlike with our computer documents, each thing we do and say has vast impact as they involve not just us — the file that we are working on — but also others, the unopened files and computer programs in our system.
So I guess our life’s mistakes are not like our pencil scrawls (潦草書寫) that can be effectively corrected with an eraser, or errors on our computer works that can be undone with an undo button. But there are effective and reliable tools we can use—APOLOGY and FORGIVENESS. Simply click the APOLOGY button when you have committed a mistake that has hurt a loved one and the words “I’m Sorry” will flash on the other person’s screen. But, you have to be truly sorry and you must be prepared not to commit the same mistake again for your APOLOGY to work. Sincerity is definitely a necessary part.
When someone clicks the APOLOGY button and the words “I’m sorry” flash on your screen, all you have to do is click back the FORGIVENESS (原諒) button. It means that you have wholeheartedly accepted the other person’s APOLOGY. But not only that. You also have to click it when someone has sent you back the message “It’s okay. Forget about it.”. It means that you are also forgiving yourself for your mistake; that you won’t keep feeling so bad having committed it.
And lastly, don’t forget to keep clicking the SAVE button. Going through the whole process of editing—of doing and undoing, of apologizing and forgiving — is useless if you fail to save the LESSON for future use. Let the saved file be a reminder of the healing process you once went through to make yourself better; for you not to forget the lesson; and for others to access and learn from.
小題1:Which of the following is TRUE?
A．However careful we are, we still make mistakes in life.
B．Things we do and say can affect computer programs in our system.
C．We can undo life’s mistakes if we are careful enough.
D．An eraser is an effective tool for our computer works.
小題2: The APOLOGY button should be clicked when ________.
A．one wants to make the computer work perfectly
B．one’s mistakes won’t influence others any more
C．one is actually saying “I’m sorry”
D．one won’t make the same mistake again
小題3:What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A．The UNDO button.B．The APOLOGY button.
C．The SAVE button.D．The FORGIVENESS button.
小題4:We need to click the SAVE button in life because ________.
A．we want to go through the whole process of editing
B．we need to learn a lesson from the past mistakes
C．we want to make the healing process faster
D．we need to use the computer properly
