题目内容

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项

It was an extremely hot day. My younger brother Walt and I had decided to go swimming in the stream behind Mr Blickez’s house, because it would be the only way to cool ourselves down. Across his farm and through some woods was a deep swimming hole supplied by several cold springs(泉).

The only problem with our plan was that this farm was guarded by a huge mean Hereford bull(公牛). Mr Blickez had told us that Elsie, the animal’s name, was the meanest bull in town, maybe even the county, and we believed in him. But the hotter it got, the more we thought there was reason to doubt about what he said. For one thing, we remembered Mr Blickez liked telling tall tales; for another, Elsie seemed like a strange name for a bull. Finally, I talked Mom into asking permission for us to walk through the farm, and Mr Blickez finally agreed.

On our way across the farm, we stopped at the fence to admire the swimming hole. The sun shone brightly across the cool waters. We couldn’t wait to get there. Suddenly, Walt shouted loudly. Elsie had run to him and was licking(舔) his back. I immediately hid under the fence. However, when I looked up, I saw that Elsie wasn’t a big mean bull at all. She was just a friendly young cow, and she was going to keep licking my brother’s back as long as he stood still.

When we discovered the truth, we were so happy. We then ran to the swimming hole and jumped in. The water was just as wonderful as we had dreamed. After that day, we had many good days and we often visited our secret swimming hole guarded by the so-called “big mean bull”.

A. there was no water to take a shower at home

B. the weather was so hot that they couldn’t stand it

C. Mr Blickez invited them to his house for swimming

D. they wanted to try their newly-found swimming hole

2. What was the problem faced by the author and his brother?

A. They didn’t know where to swim.

B. They had to face a very mean bull.

C. Their mother didn’t want them to swim.

D. They didn’t know how to get to the stream.

3.What can we know about Mr Blickez?

A. He often tells lies.

B. He is very shy.

C. He is an honest man.

D. He is very kind to children.

4.When Elsie saw the author’s brother, she __________.

A. tried to attack him

B. immediately ran away

How to Be a successful person

Gary Hall Jr

Winner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals

“In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes(糖尿病) . Believing my career was over, I felt extremely low. Then one of the specialists said there was no reason why I should stop training and competing. That was it—the encouragement I needed. I could still be a winner if I believe in myself. I am not saying that it isn’t difficult sometimes. But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn’t finished yet. Nothing is to stand in my way.”

Karen Pickering

Swimming World Champion

“I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. I manage that sort of workload by putting it on top of my diary. This is the key to success—you can’t follow a career in any field without being well-organized. List what you believe you can achieve. Trust yourself, write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and you’ll be a step closer to achieving them.”

Kirsten Best

Poet & Writer

“When things are getting hard, a voice inside my head tells me that I can’t achieve something. Then, there are other distractions, such as family or hobbies. The key is to concentrate. When I feel tense, it helps a lot to repeat words such as ‘calm’, ‘peace’ or ‘focus’, either out loud or silently in my mind. It makes me feel more in control and increases my confidence. This is a habit that can become second nature quite easily and is a powerful psychological tool.”

1.What does Gary Hall Jr. mainly talk about?

A. He overcame the shadow of illness to win.

B. Specialists offered him medical advice.

C. Training helped him defeat his disease.

D. Difficulties influenced his career.

2.What does Karen Pickering put on top of her diary?

A. Her achievements B. Her daily happenings

C. Her sports career D. Her training schedule

3.What does the underlined word “distractions” probably refer to?

A. Ways that help one to focus.

B. Words that help one to feel less tense.

C. Activities that turn one’s attention away.

D. Habits that make it hard for one to relax.

4.According to the passage, what do the three people have in common?

A. Courage B. Devotion

C. Self-confidence D. Hard work.

There is no doubt that teens today are extremely busy. Homework piles up and extra-curricular (课外的) activities are time-consuming. Often, teens have to take part in a sport or activity after school, and they are up until 10:00 or later doing homework. Getting teenagers involved in volunteer opportunities can give them a sense of accomplishment that is not connected with sports or school.

Teenagers are often in their own little world. Helping them get involved in volunteering opportunities is the perfect way for them to open up that world and give their time to a good cause.

The key to getting teens involved in volunteer work is to find an opportunity that will fit into their schedule and find something that interests them. Also, keep it close to home. If they have to travel a long distance to volunteer, it’s less likely to be accomplished.

My son has helped with the local library’s reading program for two summers. It is close to home and the schedule is very elastic. We go in and choose days that work with his schedule and he volunteers for about 2 hours at a time. He is responsible for helping kids get signed up for the summer reading program and helping them record the hours they read. It is only a one-week time commitment, but it is very rewarding.

When teens volunteer they often see that there are others more needy than themselves. They also learn time management. Your teen will become a more rounded, less self-centred individual.

Colleges see thousands of students applying for admission every year. If your teen has shown the devotion to volunteer in the community, it can give him the advantage for college admission or scholarship opportunities. So, volunteering is good for their present and their future!

1.What is the text mainly about?

A. The heavy loads faced by teens toady.

B. The benefits of volunteering for teens.

C. The author’s son’s volunteering experience.

D. The requirements of volunteering.

2.The author of the text probably_______.

A. never thought his son would volunteer

B. tries to limit his son’s volunteering time

C. supports his son in volunteering

D. is concerned about his son’s learning

3.We can infer from the last paragraph that_______.

A. colleges show more preference for students with volunteering experiences

B. volunteering can help a teen stand out as an excellent student

C. scholarship opportunities are only offered to excellent students

D. one can’t become an excellent student without volunteering experience

4.The underlined word “elastic” in the fourth paragraph can be best replaced by “ ”.

A. independent B. tight

C. precious D. flexible

Last Saturday, my parents and I paid visit to my grandparents by train. There was a

large number of people in the crowded train, but everyone help those who had lots of

baggage and behaved politely. Along the way, we enjoyed beautifully views. At first, we saw

one hill after another. Then what came into our eye were fields with green crops. In a six-hour

trip, we arrived at my grandparents’ house. Exhausted though I felt, but I was happy to see my

grandparents, which I hadn’t seen for a long time. It’s really an excited trip because it was the

first time I had taken so a long-distance train.

As my dad unwrapped(打开) the new bicycle helmet（头盔）that I got him for his birthday, I realized that a number of people ride their bicycles every day without the protection of a helmet.

Due to cold winters across the country, riding has become increasingly dangerous as many roads have potholes and are torn-up (磨损的). Not everyone realizes that there are laws requiring the wearing of helmets in many places.

Where I live, there has been a law in place since October 1, 1992 stating that cyclists of all ages are required to wear helmets. Unfortunately, accidents can happen to the best of riders. My dad has been a cyclist for many years, and he often rides around my county and to Rockland Lake State Park.

One afternoon, as he was just entering the park, he lost control of his bicycle and flew off and landed on a nearby patch of grass, breaking his helmet into pieces and losing consciousness(知觉). When he was just awakening, a lovely couple found him and brought him back to our house, where he attempted to recap the events leading up to his fall. Later that day, a CAT scan showed that he had a concussion (脑震荡). That evening, while my dad was showing me the pieces of his broken helmet, we both came to a shocking realization.

If he had not worn his helmet, he probably would have cracked his skull and perhaps died. Today, when my dad and I go out cycling, the wearing of our helmets is not even a question. Regardless of age, everyone should wear a helmet whenever they get on a bicycle.

1.In the writer’s opinion, why should people wear bicycle helmets?

A. Because a law requires them to do so.

B. Because many people like wearing bicycle helmets.

C. Because people have realized the importance of wearing helmets.

D. Because the conditions of roads are very poor and it is dangerous to ride on them.

2.The underlined part “we both came to a shocking realization” in Paragraph 4 means “_______”.

A. we understood how lucky the dad was to have worn a helmet

B. we were shocked to see the broken helmet

C. we realized that young people needn’t wear helmets

D. only old people should wear helmets

3.From the accident that happened to the writer’s dad, we can infer that ___________.

A. the cyclists should follow the law

B. his dad was not worried about this accident

C. it is necessary for cyclists to wear helmets

D. everyone should care about life
