B
The trend in everyday conversation is to use grandiose（夸大的）words. “Outstanding” is new “good,” “amazing” is the new “OK”, and “huge” is the new “big.”
I was in a restaurant in Washington D.C. last weekend and every question I asked was answered with exaggeration.
Me: How is the salmon?
Sever: Fantastic!
Me: Does it come with rice?
Sever: Absolutely!
Would a “good” and a “yes” have been enough? Of course!
My father is an average-sized man. He hasn’t gained weight or height for the past 30 years. Therefore, his size remains the same. However, in the same amount of time, his T-shirt size has gone from small to medium to large to extra large.
The reason for the exaggerated word is clear: we are bored with our lives. We want the next –next thing now. Immediately!
And we also want others to think that we still care, that we can still be delighted, that we know that everything is just great. Even when deep inside we know it can’t be. Everything can’t be great.
I’m not a scientist, so many methods of proof leave little to be desired, or a lot to be desired, or an immensity（無(wú)限）.
Listen to the voices around you. Listen to your own voices. There is nothing on the radio that is good or bad , weather is either beautiful or horrible.
Listen, the next time when someone asks you something and you agree, because when you could simply say “yes”, instead you will say “absolutely ” or “without doubt” or “Oh, yeah, unquestionably—absolutely without doubt.”
Have people forgotten what it is like to be OK? Simply OK with what they have and who they are? If everything is outstanding, if everything is the most amazing thing ever, is anything ever amazing at all?
45．By telling his experience in the restaurant, the author intends to_______.
A．show his interest in exaggerated words
B．prove that exaggerated words are widely used
C．blame the restaurant for using exaggerated words
D．tell us the food in the restaurant is extremely good
46．What do we know about the author’s father?
A．He has gained height and is now a tall man.
B．He likes following the fashin in clothing.
C．His weight is getting greater and greater.
D．The size of his T-shirt is described in exaggerated words.
47．So many people like using exaggerated words because________.
A．they are not satisfied with being normal
B．they don’t want to be looked down upon by others
C．they want to be different from others
D．they are brave in telling their true feelings
48．According to the passage, if you approve of something, you’d better say “ ______ ”.
A．fantastic   B．perfect      C．OK   D．Absolutely

As we know, it is common for people to catch a cold in winter and most people believe they know the reason for colds. However, scientists say people have some wrong beliefs about the cause of colds.
Many people think that once you get infected by colds, you will not be easy to be attacked by colds for the rest of your life. That’s not the case. There are about 200 different viruses that cause the common cold. You catch a cold because of one kind of them this time, but you might catch a cold next time because of another.
Others believe that people get sick just because of the cold weather in winter. That is also wrong.
It’s because people tend to stay closer in winter and the cold virus is transmitted from one person to another through handshakes, sneezing, or coughing.
While there is no actual cure for the common cold, scientists say there are still a few things you can do to help you. Some experts say honey and chicken soup are effective against colds. Especially honey. There is increasing evidence that it helps shorten the duration of the common cold sometimes even by two to three days particularly in children. Chicken soup also helps reduce the duration of the cold.
In addition, if you do have a cold and you don’t feel like eating anything, it’s not going to hurt you but you have to drink a lot and you can drink water or tea because doctors say the water cycle in your bodies helps to cure colds. That’s very important. Though there is more than one way to deal with colds, doctors say the best advice is to continue using whatever works best for you.
【小題1】We know from the second paragraph that ______.

A．the common cold is caused by only one virus
B．there are people who never catch a cold
C．colds can be caused by different viruses
D．a(chǎn)ll people are easily attacked by colds
【小題2】 The underlined word “transmitted” in the fourth paragraph means “______”.
A．passedB．changedC．curedD．caused
【小題3】If you have a cold, you can do the following except ______.
A．drinking a lot of waterB．drinking chicken soups
C．eating honeyD．forcing yourself to eat
【小題4】 It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A．now scientists have found out practical treatment for colds
B．different people may have different ways to fight against colds
C．working in freezing weather is the main reason for colds
D．colds can be passed from animals to human beings

Most recently, it’s very common in students who need a parent present for job interviews.

Naturally, it’s easy to blame the students in these situations, but the bigger problem is us. We—as parents—are so eager to protect our kids that we fail to realize that this in itself is harming them. As the mother of two young sons, I have to remind myself all the time that the biggest responsibility I have as a parent is to help them develop the skills needed to live in, to live without me. So, I’ll let them fail.

I’ll let them fail because as long as they are safe and warm inside their comfort zones, they will never grow. And failure—along with loss, heartbreak, disappointment, etc.—will be part of growth for them. Call me the anti-tiger mom, but leaving them alone is my way of helping them become equipped to fit in this world as we know it today. From terrorism (恐怖主義) and seemingly endless natural disasters, to our national debt and beyond, if we expect the next generation to stand up to the very real problems of our time, we need to stop feeding them and start teaching them how to fish.

My children are faced with hard situations in their own life almost each day, but they try to negotiate (協(xié)商) everything now. It’s a small price to help them learn a skill they’ll use for the rest of their lives, including when I don’t come with them on job interviews. 

1.Why do parents go along with their kids on job interviews?

A．Because they want to protect their kids from difficulties.

B．Because they think they can protect them from being hurt.

C．Because their kids are too shy to attend interviews.

D．Because their kids strongly request them to do so.

2.According to the author, what is helpful to kids’ development?

A．Protecting them.                        B．Keeping them safe.

C．Leaving them alone.                     D．Blaming them.

3.The author believes experiencing failure in life can make kids ___________.

A．become healthier than other kids

B．grow in this challenging world

C．develop all social skills

D．escape from natural disasters

4.If the writer’s boy goes to a job interview, she probably will ___________.

A．go with him to protect her kid from difficulty

B．stay home but give him directions over telephone

C．wait outside and talk with other parents

D．let him go to the interview by himself

5.Which of the following might be the best title of the text?

A．Never help your kids                     B．Let your kids fail

C．Go to the interview with your kids           D．Live without parents

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2010年浙江省高一上學(xué)期期中考試英語(yǔ)卷 題型：閱讀理解

 Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him with wood and other products；they give him shade；and they help to prevent drought and floods.

Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had.

Two thousand years ago, a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became hard and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the country found itself faced by floods and starvation.

Even though a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult for it to persuade the villager to see this. The villager wants wood to cook his food with, and he can earn money by making charcoal(木炭) or selling wood to the townsman（城市居民）. He is usually too lazy or too careless to plant and look after trees. So unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests will slowly disappear.

This does not only mean that the villager’s sons and grandsons have fewer trees. The results are even more serious. For where there are trees their roots break the soil up—allowing the rain to sink in and also hold the soil, thus preventing it being washed away easily, but where there are no trees, the soil becomes hard and poor. The rain falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, causing floods and carrying away with it the rich topsoil, in which crops grow so well. When all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but a worthless desert.

1.The purpose that the writer wrote this article is to _________.

A. tell people the use of wood                                 

B. tell people the function of tree roots

C. warn that man mustn’t destroy forests any more    

D. explain how trees help man live a better life.

2. In the writer’s opinion, _________, or the forests will slowly disappear.

A. measures must be taken          

B. people shouldn’t draw benefit from the tree

C. government must realize the serious results           

D. unless no trees are cut down.

3.According to the article we know it is ________ to prevent the forests from slowly disappearing.

   A. necessary but impossible                                 B. necessary but difficult

   C. impossible and unimportant                                   D. difficult and impossible

4.In the last two paragraphs the writer wanted to make it clear that _________.

   A. where there are no trees, the soil becomes poor but soft

   B. where there are many trees, there are more floods

   C. where there are no trees, the land might become desert slowly

D. floods will make the land become desert
