B [2015 •山东省滕州市高三模拟] Hello. I'm Jan from Mrs Lake's class. My class want to work together to help the public. We think we have found a great way to do this. Last month we did a class project on the highways near our town. We learned about the Adopt-a-High?way Programme. This programme brings people together to pick up litter along the roads. We think it would be a great i-dea for all students in our school to join the programme and a-dopt a highway.

Adopting a highway is not like adopting a pet. When a highway is adopted, only part of the highway is cared for by a group of people. The group agrees to work every week to keep its part of the highway clean. Each group gets its own sign that has the name of the group printed on it. The sign is put up at the side of the road. This sign lets drivers know who is keeping that area of the road clean.

The Adopt-a-Highway Programme is a great way for people to help their environment look nicer. Also, the govern?ment does not have to send out many road workers. This saves money. Finally, people may try harder to keep roads clean if they see people, especially teenagers like us, cleaning them up.

We will need helpers to care for our adopted highway. If you want to feel great and keep our roads clean, please come with your parents to the meeting next week. We will meet in Mrs Lake's room on Wednesday at 6:00 pm. At the meeting, we will talk about which roads are the dirtiest as a result of people's unkind acts. Then we'll try to pick an area to adopt and clean.

I look forward to seeing you at the meeting. Remember to keep our roads clean!

5.What is the Adopt-a-Highway Programme about?

 A.     Giving names to the highways.

A [2015 .山东省滕州高三模拟]

  As I grew older, my dad and I grew further apart. We al?ways had totally different opinions. He thought that college was a waste of time, but for me it was important to finish col?lege. He wanted me to work my way to the top as he had done in his field, but I wanted a different life. There was a time when we did not talk with each other.

A few months ago, I heard that my 84-year-old dad was in poor health. When he called and asked whether I could move from Colorado back to Tennessee to help him, I knew he was seriously ill. I am his only child and so it was time to meet my father's requirement.

Two weeks after moving back, we bought a boat and started fishing again. Fishing was one of the few things that we did while I was young and that we both enjoyed. It is strange but true that as we are fishing we are able to put things that have kept us apart for so many years behind us. We are able to talk about things that we have never talked about before. Fishing has been healing the old wounds that have kept us apart.

  It is not important how many fish we catch. It is about enjoying the relationship that we have not had for years. I' m 62 and he is 84. When we are on the lake fishing, it is like two kids enjoying life. It is far better to find a way to put the un?happy past behind. I am so lucky to spend the happy time with my father in his last years. Now my heart is filled with love. A smile always graces my lips.

1. The author and his father became further apart because

 A.     they lived very far from each other

B.     they seldom went to see each other

C.     they only communicated by phone

D.     they had different views on things

2. Why did the author come back to Tennessee?

 A.     Because his father invited him to work there.

B.     Because he decided to live in a different city.

C.     Because his father was ill and needed caring.

D.     Because he regretted being rude to his father.

3.For the author, fishing with his old father___________ .

A. helps cure his father's disease

B. makes him realize the importance of relaxation

C.is a good way to get close to nature

D. provides a chance for them to communicate

4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. Fishing brings us together

B.Forgiving is difficult

C. Memories of old days

D.My beloved father

It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult.

Most do not fully see this truth. 9 . It seems to them that their difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.

10  Problems , depending on their nature , cause us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an end?less series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy. 11 .

12 . When we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. 13  As Benjamin Franklin said, "Those things that hurt, instruct. " It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.

A.Problems are the serious test that tells success from failure.

B.Life is not a trap set for us by God so that he can condemn(责难)us for failing.

C.It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn.

D.Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning.

E. Instead they complain about their problems and dif?ficulties as if life should be easy.

F. We can register to make money and participate in problem-solving collaboration(合作)groups.

G. What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one.

No joke: researchers say we are moving away from per?sonal ? real-world pranks and into a world of media-driven jokes and Internet boredom. Does this spell the end of April Fools' Day as we know it?

    Though pranksters (恶作剧的人)and joke-lovers in many countries now gleefully prepare to trick friends and loved ones on April Fool's Day, no one knows exactly when or why, or even where, this tradition began.

The importance of this day of prank-pulling freedom is no laughing matter. It's integral (完整的)to American cul?ture. A day of funny is important to society, and also helps humans bond. Researchers say our reaction on comedy is changing, though. And that may mean fewer pranks in the future.

"The usual pranks that we would see 50 years ago are much less common," Gary Alan Fine, a sociologist at North?western University in Illinois, told LiveScience. "I think we are seeing the decline of interpersonal pranks.,,

"At one time, pranking played a bigger role in American society. Some of the pranking was also very harmful," Jo?seph Bo skin, a professor retired from history at Boston Uni?versity, told LiveScience.

This type of harmful prank-playing was usually directed towards marginalized(使边缘化)sections of society. "Pranks have played a very big role in this situation, so I'm glad that the prankster part of it has declined, but the making fun of life in general goes on," Boskin said.

"The big problem is knowing where to draw the line be?tween playful pranks and meanness close to bullying," Fine said.

"Practical jokes of a certain sort shade into bullying, they shade into meanness and we are very concerned as a soci?ety about meanness," Fine said. "Finding out what that point is, is difficult for a society. And traditional pranking may be left out in the cold," Fine said.

5. Who will be made fun of on April Fool's Day?

 A.     Strangers.

B.     Friends and loved ones.

C.     Old men.

D.     Neighbours.

6. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 mean?

 A.     Serious affairs.

B.     Boring things.

C.     Funny matters.

D.     Foolish matters.

7. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

 A.     April Fool's Day is part of American culture.

B.     No one knows exactly where the tradition of April Fool's Day began.

C.     Pranksters and joke-lovers usually trick friends on April Fool's Day.

D.     There'll be more pranks in the future.

8.What's Boskin's attitude towards the decline of pranks?
A. Doubtful.                             B. Objective.

C.  Positive.                            D. Indifferent.
