As a teacher, my daily activity involves driving to a new school almost every day.
On one particular day during my lunch break, I drove to a nearby square to get a coffee. Upon returning to the 36, I realized I had locked my phone and my 37 inside! I had about 15 minutes to get back to the 38. So I hurried into a McDonald’s in the same square, and asked the man at the counter, who happened to be the 39, to call a taxi for me. After I 40 explained my situation to him, he rushed inside to make the phone while I waited anxiously in the restaurant. I had less than 10 minutes to 41 to my school at this point.
A moment later, the manager returned only to tell me that the line was 42, and that he had not been able to 43 the taxi yet. I think both 44 and fear could be seen in my face.
Without a thought, he grabbed his coat and 45 to drive me to the school. Without hesitation, I followed him into his car and got back to the classroom with two minutes to 46 before the bell rang!
This experience made me 47 that out of every seemingly hopeless situation, there is the opportunity for acts of kindness to happen, which has an unimaginable influence on those who receive them.

作者需要馬上趕回學(xué)校上課，可是鑰匙和手機(jī)被鎖在車(chē)?yán)锪�。作者讓一個(gè)餐廳經(jīng)理幫忙叫出租車(chē)，可是電話(huà)占線(xiàn)。那位經(jīng)理直接開(kāi)車(chē)把作者送到了學(xué)校。
小題1:考查名詞。根據(jù)上句 I drove to a nearby square to get a coffee 可知，“我”開(kāi)車(chē)去廣場(chǎng)喝咖啡，所以此處是指“作者喝完咖啡后返回自己的車(chē)”。
小題2:考查名詞。根據(jù)下文“作者請(qǐng)麥當(dāng)勞的經(jīng)理幫忙打電話(huà)叫一輛出租車(chē)”的事實(shí)可推測(cè)，作者把鑰匙和手機(jī)都鎖在車(chē)?yán)锪恕?br />小題3:考查名詞。作者是從學(xué)校來(lái)的，下午還要趕回學(xué)校上課，此時(shí)距離上課的時(shí)間還有15分鐘。
小題4:考查名詞。作者急忙來(lái)到同在這個(gè)廣場(chǎng)的一家餐廳，請(qǐng)求柜臺(tái)的一個(gè)人幫忙叫輛出租車(chē)。巧的是，那個(gè)人正好是經(jīng)理。下一段中的 the manager 是提示信息。
小題5:考查副詞。根據(jù)當(dāng)時(shí)時(shí)間的緊迫可推斷作者應(yīng)是“簡(jiǎn)要地 (briefly)介紹了一下情況。
小題6:考查動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)。下文的got back to the classroom 是提示
小題7:考查形容詞。busy電話(huà)占線(xiàn)
小題8:考查動(dòng)詞。片刻之后，經(jīng)理出來(lái)告訴作者出租車(chē)公司的電話(huà)“占線(xiàn)(busy)”，所以他沒(méi)能“叫到(get)出租車(chē)”,only to do something,表示意外的結(jié)果。
小題9:考查名詞。眼看已經(jīng)快到上課的時(shí)間了，可是卻叫不到出租車(chē)，由此可推斷作者當(dāng)時(shí)的心情是既失望又害怕。
小題10:考查動(dòng)詞。不假思索地，那位經(jīng)理抓起了外套，主動(dòng)提出要親自驅(qū)車(chē)送“我”回學(xué)校。offer to do sth.主動(dòng)提出做某事，下句中 followed him into his car 以及“順利回到學(xué)�！钡氖聦�(shí)是提示。
小題11:考查動(dòng)詞。在離上課還有兩分鐘的時(shí)候，with two minutes to go“我”回到了教室. to go此處意為“剩下”
小題12:考查動(dòng)詞�？崭窈竺娴膬�(nèi)容是作者在經(jīng)歷這件事情后的感悟，故選realize

A Love Note to My Mom
When I was a little girl, I would often accompany you as you modeled (T臺(tái)展示) for fashion photographers. It was years later that I finally understood what role modeling   36  in your life. Little did I know you were   37   every penny you earned to go to   38  school.
I cannot thank you enough for   39  you told me one autumn afternoon when I was nine. After finishing my homework, I wandered into the dining room where you were buried   40  piles of law books. I was   41 . Why were you doing what I do—memorizing textbooks and studying for   42  ? When you said you were in law school, I was more puzzled. I didn’t know Moms   43  be lawyers too. You smiled and said, “In life, you can do anything you want to do.”
As young as I was, that statement kept   44  in my ears. I watched as you faced the   45  of completing your studies, starting companies with Dad, while still being a   46   and a Mom of five kids. I was exhausted just watching you       47 . With your words of wisdom in my   48  mind, I suddenly felt unlimited freedom to dream. My whole world  49 . I set out to live my life filled with  50 , seeing endless possibilities for personal and professional achievements.
Your words became my motto. I   51   found myself in the unique position of being either the first (woman doctor in Maryland Rotary)   52   one of the few women (chief medical reporters) in my field. I gained strength every time I said, “Yes, I’ll try that.”
Encouraged by your   53  , I have forged ahead(毅然前行) with my life’s journey, less afraid to make mistakes, and   54   meeting each challenge. You did it, and now I’m   55   it. Sorry, got to run. So much to do, so many dreams to live.

When I first got an e-mail account ten years ago, I received communications only from family, friends, and colleagues. Now it seems that every time I check my e-mail，I have an endless series of advertisements and other correspondence that do not interest me at all. If we want e-mail to continue to be useful, we need specific laws that make spamming（發(fā)送垃圾郵件）a crime.
If lawmakers do not do something soon to prohibit spam, the problem will certainly get much worse. Computer programs allow spammers to send hundreds of millions of e-mails almost instantly. As more and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products，individual e-mail boxes are often flooded with spam e-mails. Would people continue to use e-mail if they had to deal with an annoying amount of spam each time?
This problem is troubling individuals and companies as well. Many spam e-mails contain computer viruses that can shut down the entire network of a company. Companies rely on e-mail for their employees to communicate with each other. Spam frequently causes failures in their local communications networks, and their employees are thus unable to communicate effectively. Such a situation results in a loss of productivity and requires companies to repeatedly repair their networks. These computer problems raise production costs of companies, which are, in the end, passed on to the consumer.
For these reasons, I believe that lawmakers need to legislate（立法）against spare. Spammers should be fined, and perhaps sent to prison if they continue to disturb people. E-mail is a tool which helps people all over the world to communicate conveniently, but spam is destroying this convenience.
小題1:What does the underlined word “correspondence” in the Paragraph l probably mean?
A．messagesB．ideasC．connectionsD．programs
小題2:According to the text, what is the major cause of the flooding spam?
A．Companies rely on e-mail for communications.
B．More people in the world communicate by e-mail.
C．Many computer viruses contain spam e-mail.
D．More advertisers begin to promote sales through spam.
小題3:According to Paragraph 3, who is the final victim of spam?
A．The business.B．The advertiser.C．The employee.D．The consumer.
小題4:What is the purpose of the text?
A．To inform.B．To educate.C．To persuade.D．To instruct.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

People have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviors are formed．It is not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is cooperative （合作的）and another is competitive．
Social scientists are, of course, extremely interested in these types of questions．They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviors．There are no clear answers yet, but two distinct schools of thought （學(xué)派）on the matter have developed．As one might expect, the two approaches are very different from one another, and there is a great deal of debate between proponents of each theory．The controversy（argument) is often referred to as “nature and nurture（教育）”．
Those who support the “nature” side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological and genetic factors．That our environment has little, if anything, to do with our abilities, characteristics, and behavior is central to this theory．Taken to an extreme(走極端）, this theory maintains that our behavior is predetermined to such a degree that we are almost completely governed by our instincts（本能）．
Proponents of the “nurture” theory, or, as they are often called, behaviorists, claimed that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act．A behaviorist, B．F．Skinner, sees humans as beings whose behavior is almost completely shaped by their surroundings．The behaviorists’ view of the human being is quite mechanistic（機(jī)械論的）; they maintain that, like machines, humans’ respond to environmental stimuli（刺激） as the basis of their behavior．
Socially and politically, the consequences of these two theories are far-reaching．In the US, for example, blacks often score below whites on standardized intelligence tests．This leads some proponents to conclude that blacks are genetically lower in status than whites．Behaviorists, on the contrary, say that the differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often robbed of many of the educational and other environmental advantages that whites enjoy, and that, as a result, they do not develop the same responses that whites do．
Either of these theories cannot yet fully explain human behavior．In fact, it is quite likely that the key to our behavior lies somewhere between these two extremes. That the controversy will continue for a long time is certain．
小題1:This passage is mainly concerned with             ．
A．relation between personality and behavior
B．relation between behavior and environment
C．different accounts of patterns of human behavior
D．different theories of the formation of human behavior
小題2:The underlined word " proponents'' in paragraph 2 means          ．
A．creatorsB．a(chǎn)dvisors
C．supportersD．judges
小題3:In paragraph 5 , the author mainly writes about          ．
A．the considerable（值得考慮的） influence of the two theories
B．differences between the blacks and whites
C．racial discrimination in the United States
D．different responds to intelligence tests
小題4:What's the author's purpose in writing the passage?
A．To call our attention to the changes of human behavior．
B．To urge scientists to do more research in social science．
C．To give us a detailed explanation of human behavior．
D．To present an argument in the field of social science．

I was the youngest of five boys and also had four sisters who had to pull together and take care of each other. Dad wasn't around, so I never knew him well. He killed himself when I was three years old, leaving mom with the job of raising nine kids. She was a very hard worker, and in order to make ends meet, she hardly ever rested. With my mom as my example, I learned that hard work is the best way to get what you want.
Even as a little boy, I knew I was going to be successful. Regardless of what I chose, I wanted to make my brothers, sisters and mom proud of me—not only by being successful in what I chose to do, but also as a person who could be looked up to for the right reasons.
Surprising as it might seem, basketball wasn't in my plans. One day, my mom cut a rim(邊緣) off an old water barrel(水桶) and then held it up for me to throw an old rubber ball through. By junior high, I started playing basketball on a team. I loved to compete. For me, it paid off. I always put the effort in, every day.
I am grateful for the life I've enjoyed as a basketball star. Basketball is not life. It can be exciting. But the most important thing about basketball is that it gives me a way to do good things for others as I move through this journey called life.
小題1:It can be inferred that the author's________.
A．brothers were more famous than him
B．mother had a great influence on his career
C．father loved his children and wife very much
D．family was rich and happy when he was a child
小題2:Why did the author's father kill himself?
A．Because the family was poor.
B．Because he often quarreled with his wife.
C．Because he was seriously ill.

小題3:From the second paragraph, we can infer that________.
A．the author was respected as a brave boy
B．the author's family didn't like his career
C．the author got on well with his mother, brothers and sisters
D．the author helped his brothers and sisters succeed
小題4:What does the author get from basketball?
A．How to do good things for others.
B．Life is as hard as playing basketball.
C．Cooperation with others is important.
D．Two heads are wiser than one.

In 1956 Phoenix, Arizona, was a city with boundless blue   1 . One day as I walked around the house with my sister Kathy’s new parakeet （小鸚鵡）on my finger, I wanted to show Perky what the sky looked like.

When I learned that my 71-year-old mother was playing Scrabble—a word game—against herself, I knew I had to do something. My husband suggested we give her a computer to play against. I wasn’t sure my mother was ready for it. After all, it had taken 15 years to persuade her to buy an electric cooker. Even so, we packed up our old computer and delivered it to my parents’ home. And so began my mother’s adventure in the world of computers.
It also marked the beginning of an unusual teaching task for me. I’ve taught people of all ages, but I never thought I would be teaching my mother how to do anything. She has been the one teaching me all my life; to cook and sew; to enjoy the good times and put up with the bad. Now it was my turn to give something back.
It wasn’t easy at the beginning. There was so much to explain and to introduce. Slowly but surely, my mother caught on, making notes in a little notebook. After a few months of Scrabble and other games, I decided it was time to introduce her to word processing(文字處理). This proved to be a bigger challenge(挑戰(zhàn)) to her, so I gave her some homework. I asked her to write me a letter, using different letter types, colors and spaces.
“Are you demanding this with your kindergarten pupils?” she said.
“No, of course not,” I said. “They already know how to use a computer.”
My mother isn’t the only one experiencing a fast personal growth period. Thanks to the computer, my father has finally got over his phone allergy(過(guò)敏反應(yīng)). For as long as I remember, and time I called, my mother would answer, Dad and I have had more phone conversations in the last two months than we’ve had in the past 20 years.
小題1:What does the author do?

A．to let her have more chances to write letters
B．to support her in doing her homework
C．to help her through the bad times
D．to make her life more enjoyable
小題3:The author asked her mother to write her a letter__________.
A．because her mother had stopped using the telephone
B．because she wanted to keep in touch with her mother
C．so that her mother could practice what she had learned
D．so that her mother could be free from housework
