B [2015 •长春普通高中三检]

Raised in a motherless home, my father was extremely tight-fisted towards us children. His attitude didn't soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in severe 

weather. If I grumbled, he'd say in his loudest father-voice, "That's what your legs are for!"

The walk didn't bother me as much as the fear of walk?ing alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didn't seem concerned about my safety. But that feeling was cancelled one spring evening.

It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached the stop, I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.

A row of hedge (树篱)edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when I saw something grey moving along the top of the hedge, moving towards the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my father's head. Then I knew, each time I'd come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely.  I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care, after all.

On later visits* that spot of grey became my watchtow-er. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair. "So! My son, it's you!" he'd say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise.

I replied, "Yes, Dad. It's me. I'm home.,,

My heart beat with that feeling, pumping it like blood to my body as my fingers flew across the piano keys. As the piece neared the end, I 9 up to take my final bow. For a second, the room was 10 Yet, even in that one second, I had enough time to 11 whether I had done perfectly. Then, 12 , the applause(掌声)came.

"Thank you... so much," I said, 13 to the person standing on my other side. Olga, my piano teacher for six years? smiled back at me. "You've been an 14 student all these years," she said. "I hope that whatever you do, you never stop 15 "

Ⅱ.阅读七选五【2015 郑州一检〗

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Although most games have winners and losers, the goal of sports is not to win every game. The real goals include get?ting exercise , having fun , and learning important social skills, like sportsmanship.

Good sportsmanship is all about respect. Good sports re?spect the other players on their teams. They respect the play?ers on opposing teams. They respect coaches, and they also respect the referees or other officials involved in their games.

9 They yell at their teammates and they talk back to coa?ches or referees.

Kids usually learn sportsmanship―good and bad―from the adults in their lives. 10 If parents and coaches show disrespect to other fans, referees, or each other, kids will likely act the same way on the field.

11 Some of them are very basic and easy to do, like shaking hands with other players before a game. Other exam?ples may take a little more courage, such as acknowledging a great play made by the opposing team.

Learning good sportsmanship is important because it helps you develop an attitude of graciousness (礼貌)and re?spect that will carry over into all the other areas of your life!

12 Being a good sport in the classroom will eventually lead to being a good sport in the workplace.

So be a good sport in whatever you do! 13 When others see you acting in a way that makes it clear that winning isn't the most important thing, you can move on to focusing on the important things, like having fun, getting exercise, and improving your skills.

A.     Good sportsmanship can be shown in many ways.

B.     On the contrary, bad sportsmanship is all about disre?spect.

C.     The example you set can be a powerful teaching tool for others.

D.     Players' parents and coaches set examples that kids tend to follow.

E.     We can be good sports by encouraging others but not laughing at them.

F.      Starting as a good sport earlier will help you be a good sport as you get old.

G.     If you're a good sport on the field, you'll also likely be a good sport in the classroom.

A recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that kids spend an average of 1 hour and 29 minutes online each day.Many kids like to use that time to chat with friends, play games or check e-mails.But next time you get on the Web, try exploring the world instead.“With the Internet, you can go back 11,000 years in time, or go 11,000 kilometers across the planet,” said Russell, Web search expert of Google.“The whole scope of history and the world is open to you.”

There is a wealth of information to be found online.For example, if your family is going on vacation somewhere, do a quick online search on the area before you even get in the car.“What’s the background of the place; what’s the history?” says Russell.“I like to tell my kids, ‘Whenever you have a question, whenever you have a doubt, search it out.’”
