   "Are you going shopping today?" my husband, Roy, asked when I answered the telephone. "I  to," I said. Thanksgiving was only a couple days away. My money was 10  and I knew I had to be creative in my shopping that day.

   For a few seconds, Roy sat 11 on the other end of the line. The nervousness gradually increased under the wordlessness, which I couldn't wait to break through. "Why do you ask?" I whispered,     12 what he might say.

"Nancy, there's a family with six kids that will not have anything to 13 for Thanksgiving. The little one is only five years old. While you're at the store, could you 14 buy something for them?" My head began to spin when I was thinking about the fifty dollars I had 15 for our family's Thanksgiving dinner.

In the back of my mind I 16 the hungry guests who would be coming to our house for dinner. 1 put my head down on my desk, already feeling 17 There was no way possi?ble, 1 thought. But the compassion (怜悯)I heard in my husband's 18  struck a nerve inside me.

I replied, " 19 , but only if God helps."

I finished my work and 20 all the way to the nearest grocery store. I entered the parking lot and noticed a big 21 in the grocery store window : Turkeys―29 cents a pound. "Thank God!" I said to myself.

  I went inside, but when I read the sign my heart 22 . "Limit one." But I needed at least two so I decided to find the manager. I 23 the problem. He made an exception. To my 24 , I had enough money. I was even able to purchase a package of cookies for the five-year-old child who had 25 my heart, even though I had never met her.

Later that afternoon, Roy and I made a special delivery to a home 26 with children of all ages. I will never forget the  27  on the six kids' faces.

A  [2015'东北三校二联] The stories we share with one another are important. They show wisdom and provide inspiration. They are impor?tant to our development. But sometimes people choose not to tell.

Consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news: people are wondering if public health officials are hold?ing back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola.

There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told. Bobette Buster said it like this, "The fact is history has shown us that stories not told can become like dangerous ge-nies(妖怪,精灵)left in a bottle. When they are finally un?corked, their power to destroy is set free."

  There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our stories: they often show our weaknesses or expose our disad?vantages; they require courage and strength to share; and of course, there are some stories that should be kept secret―es?pecially those that embarrass someone else.

Most of us have two selves : the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside. And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others.

Honesty and openness is important : it proves we are trustworthy. It displays we are human. We are not perfect or better. It highlights the importance of hard work and person?al development. Hard work may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completely. But with hard work, we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes.

Does this mean we admit every weakness, every disad?vantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No, of course not. There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in an appropriate manner.

1.What's the function of the example in Paragraph 2?

 

A.     It reflects that people are concerning about the spread of Ebola.

B.     It shows the bad effect caused by sharing a story.

C.     It proves not sharing a story can cause trouble.

D.     It concludes that one should share a story at a proper time.

2.One of the reasons why people are unwilling to share ex?periences is that .

 

A.     sharing stories highlights the importance of hard work

B.     people are used to exposing their weaknesses

C.     people sometimes have no courage to share their sto?ries

D.   some stories make themselves feel uneasy

3.Which is close in meaning to the underlined word "uncork?ed" in Paragraph 3?

 

A.     Freed.

B.     Broken.

C.     Unfolded.

D.     Untouched.

4.The writer aims to convince us to .

 

A.     be open to people close to you by sharing some secrets

B.     share stories appropriately for the good of others and ourselves

C.     remove the dangers that can be caused by untold stories

D.     realize the importance of being honest when making friends

The most important lesson I learned in high school had nothing to do with maths or American history. It came at graduation, several minutes before I left Miramonte High School.

I was rather shy back then, content to 9 around with my few friends and to concentrate on my 10 I was doing so well that by the end of senior year I had perfect scores and enough 11  to go to college.

But my good record soon became a 12 to my well-be?ing. In early June of senior year, the headmaster called me in?to his office. He asked me to give a leave-taking speech at graduation. I looked at him, my heart 13 fast. This was the 14 for my hard work? I said something, but not very clearly, and hurried away from the office.

I was 15 about the decision, finally agreeing to com?promise. I wasn't the only speaker―I would 16 the hono?ur with five other students. Still, it was doubtful whether the task was 17 me. How in the world would I give a speech to hundreds of people?

Graduation day soon arrived and, as 18 ,1 was nerv?ous. I'd been practising my speech for days, and I had it

19 But I had never been so 20 in my life. The first half hour of the ceremony passed, and then my 21 came. My name was announced. I managed to reach the platform without falling down. But within minutes, I was 22 , heading back to my seat.

Now I still have the 23 of that speech. My voice trembled a little,but 24 it was clear and strong. I'm proud of that tape. I achieved something I'd never 25 I spoke in front of hundreds of people. 26 I didn't realize it at that time, the successful completion of that speech gave me the 27 to participate in class at college, to give oral reports, and to eventually  break free of my 28

I never would have chosen to give a speech at graduation. But I'm glad I did. I know it may well turn out to be one of my shining moments.

Could city living be making you crazy? A new re?port says that weak social ties may be to blame for the higher rate of mental disorders in cities, for people are too occupied to connect with others. Thus, cities packed with people can actually make people feel disconnected, nameless and socially isolated.

Dr Stanley Zammit of Cardiff University in Wales led the study published in Archives of General Psychia?try ,where the goal of the research was to determine whether individual, school or area characteristics had a specific link to mental disease. Living in a city was asso?ciated with a 41 per cent higher chance of mental disease compared to rural living. The team gathered data from more than 200,000 people living in Sweden. Those indi?viduals were all born between 1972 and 1977.

The team analyzed factors related to the individuals, including the schools they attended and the neighbourhoods

they lived in. Out of all the factors examined, a weak social connection at the school level was the most significant. Kids who were immigrants, who changed cities between ages 8 and 16 or who were raised in a single-parent home suffer from a higher risk of mental disease.

The finding suggests inviting a few friends to get out of the city for a walk in nature can reduce stress. Other studies have shown getting outdoors for some "green exercise" may help stop depression, too. It has also been shown that social networks provide support to improve mental health. In fact, a recent research showed happy people talk more.

1. What do we learn about cities packed with people from the text?

A.They make people feel separate from others.

B.They have led to mental disease.

C.They strengthen social ties.

D.They get rid of people's names.


2.The underlined word "chance" in Paragraph 2 may be

close to "    in meaning.

A. opportunity B. possibility

C. luck D. accident

3.Which of the following people may least have mental disease?


A.People who moved to another country while they were young.

B.People who kept moving homes from one city to another when they were in middle school.

C.People who lived only with a father or a mother in childhood.

D.People who were regular visitors to their school friends.

4.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .


A.going outdoors for some exercise will surely make you relaxed

B.inviting friends to walk in nature can reduce stress

C.good social relationship is helpful for mental health

D.talkative people are always happy

A [2015 •河南开封高三模拟]

In America, parents tend to encourage their children to develop their potential (潜能)to the fullest extent. Fathers and mothers frequently teach their children both ambition and the confidence necessary to work towards their goals. Ameri?can parents are always active in concentrating on what their kids can do, not what they can't. As a result, millions of American boys and girls grow up hoping to become actors and athletes, diplomats and doctors. Many of them even want to become president.

American parents often encourage their children to be?come involved in extra activities of all types at school, such as student government, sports and music. They believe that on?ly through taking part in these activities can their children be?come mature young adults.

As we all know, schoolwork is important. But parents should realize that the social skills their children learn from natural conversations with each other are as important as schoolwork and the skills they will need in the future work. What's more important in their work is that their children should have a sound knowledge of physics or the ability to communicate effectively.

As a rule, Chinese parents don't educate their children about the same kind of ambition and confidence as Americans do, nor do they encourage the same level of participation in extra activities. Children are typically advised to study hard and pass exams. They have to spend a lot of time in doing much schoolwork every day. It is a great waste of time to do so.

   Now more and more Chinese parents have recognized that they should pay attention to developing the potential of their children. I hope that leaders in Chinese educational circles should take some measures to develop the potential of their children. I am very confident about it.

1. From the passage, we know the American parents pay much more attention to______________ .

A.     the social skills than Chinese parents

B.     their children's studying hard and well

C.     what their children want but they can't

D.     extra activities than schoolwork

 2. According to the passage, Chinese parents .

 A.     know more than American parents to educate their children

B.     owning ambition and confidence is necessary and im?portant

C.     pay much more attention to their children's fine future

D.     don't encourage their children to participate in extra activities

3.From the passage, we can infer .

 A.     American children are brave and adventurous

B.     American children are more active in their studies

C.     Chinese children have the ability to communicate ef?fectively

D.     something should be done to develop the potential of the children in China

4.What's the writer's attitude towards Chinese education re?form?

A. Neutral.                               B. Indifferent.

C.  Positive.                            D. Negative.

B [2015 •湖北八校高三第二次联考〗Imagine a house that keeps itself warm in the winter?time. Think of the savings in terms of fuel bills and unfriend?ly emissions. Such houses in fact exist, called "passive hou?ses". The concept of these highly energy-efficient buildings took root in the 1990s, before slowly consolidating as a niche construction (生态位构建)concept in the 2000s. Are passive houses now actively moving into the mainstream as sustain?able buildings?

For Brian McGarry, an economics lecturer who built a family house based on passive housing criteria in the Pyrenees this year, the arguments look convincing. As his first full winter in the low energy house draws in, we asked him to keep us informed. Do passive houses work?

I had never heard of a passive house in February 2012, when I purchased a plot of land. Nor did I expect that I would be persuaded to build a pre-constructed , custom-designed house based on energy-efficient passive house criteria. It promised to be easier and quicker to build, cheaper to run, and more comfortable to live in. The objective was to incor?porate the fundamental concepts of passive energy manage?ment into my project: an airtight and highly insulated build?ing envelope; large south-facing double or triple-glazed win?dows (if possible, filled with argon gas) that passively cap?ture the energy of the sun; a heat recovery ventilation(通风设备)system to provide fresh air; and a simple, low-cost heat?ing system consisting of a modern wood-burning stove, a bathroom heater and a portable radiator backup for when the sun doesn't shine and temperatures decline. No significant limitations were placed on the design, and it had excellent en?vironmental credentials (认证).Moreover, the cost was no more than a conventional build.

After six months in use, the house is proving to be both cheap to run and remarkably comfortable—staying cool in the hot summer was effortless, as long as the windows were shuttered or shaded from the sun. Now staying warm in the cold, high-altitude December climate also seems easy, so far.

Winter arrived in force in the Pyrenees in November, with abundant snowfalls and temperatures as low as minus 8° Celsius. Though early days, the house has responded well : the stove is lit during cold evenings but the portable radiator has not yet been needed. This type of construction seems not only to make economic and environmental sense, but to en?hance our quality of life, too.

5.We can learn from Paragraph 1  that passive houses

 A.     consume extra energy to keep warm in winter and cool in summer

B.     had been introduced for a decade before the birth of the theory

C.     appeal to both the self-builders and those constructors

D.     refer to a certain house comfortable, costly and also pleasing

6.Regarding the passive energy management, the houses have characteristics EXCEPT •

 A.     using south-facing windows to take in solar energy

B.     providing energy for taking a shower when it's rainy

C.     supplying fresh air with a special heat recovery system

D.     placing more demands and restrictions on the design

7. How did Brian McGarry find his self-built passive house? 

A. Very unaffordable.       B. Energy-consuming.

C. Comfortable to live in.      D. Awkward to use.

8. What is the writer's attitude towards the passive house?
A. Supportive.                B. Critical.

C.  Oppositive.               D. "Doubtful.
