Linda Evans was my best friend –like the sister I never had ,We did everything to— gether :piano lessons ,movies, swimming , horseback riding.
When I was 13, my family moved away , Linda and I kept in touch through letters ,and we saw each other on special times – like my wedding and Linda’s. Soon we were busy with childern and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often , One day a card that I sent came back , stamped “Address Unknown”, I had no idea about how to find Linda.
Over the years, I missed Linda very much, I wanted to share happiness of my children and then grandchildren , And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then moth-er died, There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.
One day, I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagman —Linda’s married name.“There must be thousands of Wagmans.”I thought, but I still wrote to her.
She called as soon as she got my letter, “Mrs , Tobin!”she said excitedly, “Linda Ev-ans Wagman is my mother.”
Minutes later I heard a voice that I recognized at once, even after 40 years ,We laughed and cried and caught up on each other’s lives, Now the empty place in my heart is filled, And there’s one thing that Linda and I know for sure; We won’t lose each other again!

試題分析:文章介紹了作者和Linda的兒時的友誼,雖然因為搬家分開,因為忙沒有聯(lián)系,但是彼此還記掛著對方。所以兩人再次聯(lián)系的時候非常高興。
小題1:細節(jié)題:開始的時候作者與Linda總是一起去上鋼琴課、看電影、游泳、騎馬等,但后來在作者13歲的時候,作者一家搬走了,兩人只能通過書信聯(lián)系。比較四個選項,顯然他們一起去上鋼琴課是在搬走前,只能選C。
小題2:細節(jié)題:根據(jù)文章第二段中的“Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes,   and we wrote less often.”可知,她們之所以沒經(jīng)常寫信,是因為她們要忙于照顧孩子,又要搬新家,也就是說,她們沒有時間寫信。選B。
小題3:細節(jié)題:根據(jù)文章第三段內(nèi)容There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.可知作者沒有一個象Linda這樣的朋友,所以總是感到心里空空的,答案是D。
小題4:細節(jié)題:根據(jù)文章最后一段中的Minutes later I heard a voice that I recognized at once, even after 40 years ,We laughed and cried and caught up on each other’s lives,真正讓作者感到高興的是當(dāng)她在電話上聽到老朋友Linda的聲音的時候。而讀到報紙的時候和寫信的時候都還只是在猜測,那時還談不上高興。選B。
小題5:推理題:根據(jù)文章最后一段中的“Minutes later I heard a voice that I knew very much,even after 40 years...”可知他們有40多年不見了,答案選A。

Dear Mr Brown,
“Do you like my dress?" A little girl asked a passing stranger. "My mommy made it just for me." She said with tears in her eyes. "Well, I think it's very pretty.

Midas was a powerful king, both rich and greedy. Once he did a great favor for Bacchus, the god of wine. Bacchus offered Midas his choice of a reward. Midas answered at once. He asked that whatever he touched be turned into gold. Bacchus agreed, though he was sorry that Midas had not made a wiser choice.
Midas was eager to put his newly gained power to the test. He pulled a branch from a tree. The branch became gold in his hand. He picked up a stone; it turned to gold. He touched the grass, it, too, turned to gold.
Midas was overjoyed. Returning home, he ordered his servants to prepare a magnificent meal. But when he picked up some bread, it turned to gold. He lifted a glass of wine to his lips. But before he could taste it, it turned to gold.
Midas wished to free himself of his power. He hated the gift he had so recently hoped for. He raised his arms and begged and prayed for Bacchus to take away his deadly gift.
Bacchus showed pity. “Go,” he said. “to the River  Pactolus. There dip yourself in. Wash away your greed and its punishment. ”Midas did so. Hardly had he touched the waters, before the gold-making powers passed into them. The river sands changed into gold. And they remain golden to this day.

At midnight, several hours after she had left Newfoundland, she ran into bad weather. To make things worse, her altimeter(高度表) failed and she didn’t know how high she was flying.

Among the more colorful characters of Leadville’s golden age were H. A. W. Tabor and his wife, Elizabeth McCourt, better known as “Baby Doe”. Their history is fast becoming one of the legends of the Old West.
Horace Austin Warner Tabor was a school teacher in Vermont. Then he moved west to the small Colorado mining camp known as California Gulch, which he later renamed Leadville when he became its leading citizen. “Great deposits of lead are sure to be found here.” he said.
As it turned out, it was silver, not lead, that was to make Leadville’s fortune and wealth. Tabor knew little about mining himself, so he opened a general store, which sold everything from boots to salt, flour, and tobacco. It was his custom to “grubstake” prospective miners, in other words, to supply them with food and supplies, or “grub”, while they looked for ore(礦石), in return for which he would get a share in the mine if one was discovered. He did this for a number of years, but no one that he aided ever found anything of value.
Finally one day in the year 1878, so the story goes, two miners came in and asked for “grub”. Tabor had decided to quit supplying it because he had lost too much money that way. These were persistent, however, and Tabor was too busy to argue with them. “Oh help yourself. One more time won’t make any difference,” He said and went on selling shoes and hats to other customers. The two miners took $17 worth of supplies, in return for which they gave Tabor a one-third interest in their findings. They picked a barren place on the mountain side and began to dig. After nine days they struck a rich vein of silver. Tabor bought the shares of the other two men, and so the mine belonged to him alone. This mine, known as the “Pittsburgh Mine,” made $1,300,000 for Tabor in return for his $17 investment.
Later Tabor bought the Matchless Mine on another barren hillside just outside the town for $117,000. This turned out to be even more fabulous than the Pittsburgh, yielding $35,000 worth of silver per day at one time. Leadville grew. Tabor became its first mayor, and later became lieutenant governor of the state.
小題1:Leadville got its name for the following reasons EXCEPT that
A.Tabor became its leading citizen.
B.great deposits of lead is expected to be found there.
C.it could bring good fortune to Tabor
D.it was renamed
小題2:The underlined word “grubstake” in Paragraph 3 means
A.to supply miners with food and supplies
B.to open a general stores
C.to do one's contribution to the development of the mine
D.to supply miners with food and supplies and in return get a share in the mine, if one was discovered
小題3:We can infer that Tabor’s life career is.
A.purely lucky
B.based on his managing theory of “grubstake’
C.through the help from his wife
D.because he planned well and accomplished targets step by step
小題4:Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A.Tabor’s Life.B.A legend of the Old West
C.Lead Makes Leadville’s FortuneD.The Best Investment

科目:高中英語 來源:不詳 題型:閱讀理解

Robert Owen was born in Wales in 1771. At the age of ten he went to work. His employer had a large private library so Owen was able to educate himself. He read a lot in his spare time and at nineteen he was given the job of superintendent(監(jiān)工) at a Manchester cotton mill. He was so successful there that he persuaded his employer to buy the New Lanark mill in Scotland.
When he arrived at New Lanark it was a dirty little town with a population of 2,000 people. Nobody paid any attention to the workers' houses or their children's education. The conditions in the factories were very bad. There was a lot of crime and the men spent most of their wages on alcoholic drinks.
Owen improved the houses. He encouraged people to be clean and save money. He opened a shop and sold the workers cheap, well-made goods to help them. He limited the sale of alcoholic drinks. Above all, he fixed his mind on the children's education. In 1816, he opened the first free primary school in Britain.
People came from all over the country to visit Owen's factory. They saw that the workers were healthier and more efficient than in other towns. Their children were better fed and better educated. Owen tried the same experiment in the United States. He bought some land there in 1825,but the community was too far away. He could not keep it under control and lost most of his money.
Owen never stopped fighting for his idea. Above all he believed that people are not born good or bad. He was a practical man and his ideas were practical. "If you give people good working conditions," he thought, "they will work well and, the most important thing of all, if you give them the chance to learn, they will be better people."
小題1:For Owen, his greatest achievement in New Lanark was _____________.
A.improving worker's houses
B.helping people to save money
C.preventing men from getting drunk
D.providing the children with a good education
小題2:From the passage we may infer that Owen was born ___________.
A.into a rich familyB.into a noble family
C.into a poor familyD.into a middle class family
小題3:Owen's experiment in the United States failed because _______.
A.he lost all his money
B.he did not buy enough land
C.people who visited it were not impressed
D.it was too far away for him to organize it properly
小題4:We may infer form the passage that no children in Britain could enjoy free education until ____.
A.1771 B.1816 C.1825 D.1860
