小題2:答案 B [本句中表示老師授課時(shí)表達(dá)出來(lái)的思想,應(yīng)該用present,表示“呈現(xiàn),展示”。]
小題3:答案 A [與上文的Having been a Straight­A student,I believed...形成對(duì)比,當(dāng)知道自己得了77分時(shí),作者無(wú)疑是“震驚的”。]
小題4:答案 C [該句是下句I went to Professor Jayne的原因,故用for,表示原因。]
小題5:答案 D [與下文中的...but wouldn't change his __8__相對(duì)應(yīng),本句中應(yīng)表示Jayne教授并沒(méi)有被打動(dòng),故用unmoved。unchanged不改變;unpleasant不愉快的;unfriendly不友好的;unmoved冷漠的,不被打動(dòng)的。]
小題6:答案 B [mean在此表示“意味著”。]
小題7:答案 B [當(dāng)又得了一個(gè)77分時(shí),“我”去與Jayne教授評(píng)理,表示“評(píng)理”用reason。quarrel爭(zhēng)吵,用在學(xué)生與老師之間明顯不妥;bargain討價(jià)還價(jià),與語(yǔ)境不符;chat聊天,自己在生氣的情況下不可能去與老師“閑聊”。]
小題8:答案 B [change表示“改變”。雖然“我”去與教授評(píng)理,但他并沒(méi)有改變“主意”。故空格處須用mind。]
小題9:答案 C [在沒(méi)法說(shuō)動(dòng)教授的情況下,“我”所能做的只有盡全力提高成績(jī),因而每一次考試都是“我”提高自己成績(jī)的“機(jī)會(huì)”。故應(yīng)使用chance。]
小題10:答案 D [由于自己竭盡全力學(xué)習(xí),“我”領(lǐng)悟到了“一絲不茍”的含義,表示“領(lǐng)悟”用learn。]
小題11:答案 C [but一詞對(duì)于本段中描述的情形進(jìn)行轉(zhuǎn)折,也就是說(shuō),雖然自己付出了巨大的努力,但是考試成績(jī)并沒(méi)有改進(jìn),故應(yīng)使用effort,表示“努力”。]
小題12:答案 B [as before表示“像以前一樣”。由11題解析可知,該空格處用go。]
小題13:答案 A [最后的障礙是期末考試,而由于整個(gè)學(xué)期我的成績(jī)一直是在C等,所以無(wú)論期末考試我得到什么等級(jí),我的三個(gè)C等成績(jī)也不會(huì)取消,所以應(yīng)選擇grade,表示“等級(jí)”。]
小題14:答案 A [既然成績(jī)是C等,那么也就與獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金無(wú)緣了,故應(yīng)選擇A項(xiàng)。]
小題15:答案 C [在對(duì)獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金不抱什么希望且對(duì)所學(xué)的知識(shí)已經(jīng)掌握很好的情況下,“我”在考試前去看了場(chǎng)電影,這里的看電影實(shí)際上是在“獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)”自己,故用treat,表示“款待”。]
小題16:答案 A [for once表示“就此一次”。因?yàn)樽约簩沂艽煺,故而自己決定這次考試不再“鄭重對(duì)待”,故用have fun with。]
小題17:答案 D [由于有了前幾次自己去與Jayne教授的評(píng)理,故而出了成績(jī)后,教授似乎在等著“我”再去見(jiàn)他,也就是教授覺(jué)得“我”會(huì)再去找他。]
小題18:答案 C [句意:如果我給了你所希望的A等,你就不會(huì)繼續(xù)那樣努力學(xué)習(xí)了。value重視;imagine想象;expect期望;welcome歡迎。故C項(xiàng)正確。]
小題19:答案 D [Jayne教授說(shuō)明了給“我”C等的理由,“我”也意識(shí)到了他的分析和策略是正確的,表示“意識(shí)到”用realize。]
小題20:答案 D [work one's head off表示“拼命工作,拼命學(xué)習(xí)”,是固定搭配。]

When I decided to quit my job as a wedding photographer, I was in my late twenties, fresh from my divorce from Bob who had left me empty and confused. I decided to leave the US and travel. I had no savings, plus more than $5,000 in debt. What I did have were two sponsored tasks as a travel photographer- and with that along, I thought, it would be easy.
My first experience was a road trip from Toronto to Las Vegas, paid for by a car delivery service. Other trips followed and then I started a travel blog (博客). It was intended to be my calling card for assignment travel photography. Yet even with my blog and past experience, email after email I sent to publications, trying to get work, went unanswered. When they did get in touch, editors told me that I had no chance of making a career with travel photography. While I struggled to get on the path that I wanted, and as I expanded my blog to help get me there, I found myself wearing the hat of a full-time blogger.
Luckily, I got in at the right time. It was 2010,and the travel industry was just starting to turn its attention to bloggers. As I never could have predicted, my blogging-not my photography-did take me around the world successfully. At first,I thought it was for personal reasons, but I realized later that it was for free marketing for my blogging.
Within two years, I was being asked to speak at travel blogging conferences, which helped me to raise a network of friends around the world. Even more meaningful, however, was when I saw that my travels were also helping other people. My blog and social media followers saw that I chased my dreams and told me over and over again how they needed that kind of example, which was absent in their lives elsewhere.
小題1:After the author quit her job, she decided to ______.
A.divorce her husbandB.be a wedding photographer
C.pay off all her debtD.go travelling abroad

A.She paid money to a car delivery agency for a road trip.
B.She realised his dream of becoming a travel photographer.
C.She got a job as an editor in a publishing house.
D.She finally became a professional blogger unintentionally.
小題3:The author believed her success mainly resulted from ______.
A.her personal reasonsB.her photographing skills

小題4: What did the author think of her two years' work?
A.Inspiring. B.Appealing. C.Interesting. D.Challenging.

Diana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21­year­old twin sons: a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart.
“I have two kids in college, and I want to say ‘come home',but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education,” says Jacobs.
The Jacobs family did work out a solution: They asked and received more aid from the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (貸款) program. They will each graduate with $20,000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school.
With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobs. More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.
At the same time, tuition(學(xué)費(fèi))continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade.
“If we go on this way for another 25 years, we won't have an affordable system of higher education,” says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center. “The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.”
Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.
小題1:According to Paragraph 1,why did the plan of Jacobs family fail?
A.The twins wasted too much money.
B.The father was out of work.
C.Their saving ran out
D.The family fell apart.
小題2:How did the Jacobses manage to solve their problem?
A.They asked their kids to come home.
B.They borrowed $20,000 from the school.
C.They encouraged their twin sons to do part­time jobs.
D.They got help from the school and the federal government.
小題3:Financial aid administrators believe that ________.
A.more families will face the same problem as the Jacobses
B.the government will receive more letters of complaint
C.college tuition fees will double soon
D.America's unemployment will fall
小題4:.What can we learn about the middle class families from the text?
A.They blamed the government for the tuition increase.
B.Their income remained steady in the last decade.
C.They will try their best to send kids to college.
D.Their debts will be paid off within 25 years

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:不詳 題型:閱讀理解

While the presence of rats in homes may cause anxiety and annoyance, they rarely result in driving out the residents. But that is exactly what happened to the inhabitants of the 10­square­mile Hawadax Island off the coast of Alaska, almost 230 years ago. Now thanks to a five­year effort by scientists, the terribly silent “Rat Island” as it had been called for many years has been returned to its rightful owners ——birds!
Hawadax Island is part of a chain of volcanic islands in the Bering Sea called the Aleutian Islands. The rats that arrived there in 1780, when a Japanese ship carrying them broke down nearby, completely destroyed the native population because the environment of the island was not built to defend its animals from these predators. There isn't any tree on the Island, which meant that the birds were accustomed to building their nests low in the ground, giving the rodents(嚙齒動(dòng)物) easy access to both eggs and baby chicks. As years passed, the birds that had called the island home for thousands of years became endangered and eventually, disappeared completely.
In 2007, the U.S. FWS (Fish and Wildlife Service) started a serious plan to rid the island of the rats and try bringing back the beautiful birds that had once called it home. Given that there were an estimated 10,000 rodents inhabiting “Rat Island” and the fact that they re­produce rapidly, it was not an easy task. But by 2009, the Island was officially declared rat free!
Then slowly but surely, the birds began to return. Unfortunately, some of the pioneers were unintentionally killed from the leavings of the raticide, a poison that had been used to wipe out the rodents. But now it seems things are becoming more stable and the Island is starting to increasingly look like its former self. Before the transformation, “Hawadax”, also known as “Rat Island”, was a silent and ghostly place with bird bones, snail remains and rocks covered in rat feces(糞便).
Today, birds' singing and flying in and out is a common sight. Tufted puffins and song sparrows, which had long disappeared, are gradually making their way back. Scientists have also been observing an increase in ground nesting and shorebirds. Though the Island is still not back to its full glory, the signs are encouraging and things can only get better, as time passes.
小題1:The underlined word “that”in Para.1 probably refers to ________.
A.the presence of rats
B.birds' being driven out
C.birds' returning to the island
D.residents' worrying about rats
小題2:Birds on Hawadax Island became an easy target because ________.
A.this island was treeless
B.they nested randomly
C.they reproduced too rapidly
D.their chicks were extremely weak
小題3:From the passage, we can know the plan of US FWS ______.
A.has helped the island fully recovered
B.cost little but benefited greatly
C.involved poisoning the rats on a large scale
D.a(chǎn)ccomplished its goal after exactly 24 months
小題4:Which would be the best title for the passage?
A.FWS Help Get Rare Birds Back to Alaska Island
B.Japanese Changed a Bird Paradise into Rat Island
C.FWS Plan to Drive Rats Out Of Rat Island
D.Alaska's Rat Island Returns to a Bird Paradise

I still clearly remember that day. I was on the side of the road for almost four hours with my big Jeep. I put signs in the windows that said, “NEED A JACK(千斤頂). ”
Right as I was about to give up, a truck stopped and a man got off. He sized up(對(duì)……做出判斷)the situation and went back to take a jack. After about two hours, we finished the job with sweats. We were both dirty. His wife produced a large water jug for us to wash our hands in.
I tried to put $20 in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it, so instead I went up and gave it to his wife as quietly as I could. I thanked them up one side and down the other. I asked the little girl, their daughter, where they lived, thinking maybe I’d send them a gift. She said they lived in Mexico. They were in Oregon now so Mommy and Daddy could pick cherries for the next few weeks. After that, they were going to pick peaches, and then go back home.
After I said my goodbyes and started walking back to the Jeep, the girl called out and asked if I’d had lunch. When I told her no, she ran up and handed me a tamale(玉米粽子). I thanked them again and walked back to my car. When I opened the tamale, what did I find inside? My $20 bill! I ran to the truck and the guy rolled down his window. He saw the $20 in my hand, started shaking his head smiling, and with what looked like great concentration said in English: “Today you, tomorrow me. ”Then he rolled up his window and drove away, with his daughter waving to me from the back.
This family, working on a seasonal basis where time is money, took a couple of hours to help a stranger while others passed by quietly.
Since then I’ve helped many people like the Mexican family. I didn’t accept money. But every time I was able to help, I felt as if I was putting something in the bank.
小題1: From the passage we know that   .
A.the Mexican man couldn’t speak English
B.the author’s car broke down on the road
C.the Mexican family came to Oregon for a visit
D.$20 was a small amount for the Mexican family
小題2: Why did the author give the money quietly to the man’s wife?
A.Because the man had refused to accept it.
B.Because the man’s wife needn’t wash her hands.
C.Because the author thought the Mexican family was poor.
D.Because the author thought the man’s wife would take it.
小題3: The Mexican man helped the author because he tended to think that   .
A.it was completely wrong for others to pass by quietly
B.it was quite easy to help the author mend the Jeep
C.it was possible that everyone might get into trouble
D.the author was a polite stranger and needed the help
小題4: Which of the following is TRUE about the author?
A.He hated those who didn’t offer help.
B.He would send a present to the family soon.
C.He wondered why they didn’t take the money.
D.He considered helping others as saving money in the bank.
小題5: What can we infer from the passage?
A.The Mexican family lived a richer life than the author.
B.The Mexican family did seasonal work in Oregon each year.
C.The author was inspired to help others by the Mexican family.
D.What made the writer moved was the tamale given by the girl.
