My friend Jenny from Germany spent some time traveling in India. She   36  the country so much that she always got attracted to it. While there, she stayed with Leela, her friend who was Indian.   37  the gazes that she got as a foreigner, Jenny always had language problems. It was very difficult for her to   38  in this new environment and culture that had so many subtle (細(xì)微的)  39  from her own country.
One day, a   40  thing happened. Along with Leela, she went to visit an orphanage. All the children there were tiny; each one fell   41  between the ages of fifteen days to one-and-a-half years old.
After some initial(最初的)   42 , Jenny slowly went to the kids and sat beside them. After some time, one of the kids smiled at her. She felt   43  a little, and she was immediately   44  towards that child.
She slowly held the child and started singing a rhyme in   45 . The small child continued to smile and started   46  after her. The words that escaped the little mouth were much different from those that Jenny hummed, but the   47  was the same.      
Wanting to join in the   48 , another kid went up to Jenny and started humming the rhyme. They shared a million   49  together.
  50  Leela's eyes on her, she blurted( 脫口而出) an explanation straight from her heart: “See, I don't have                 
  51  problems here. We speak; we communicate!”
And she continued with her rhyme   52  she didn’t want to disturb the child’s smile.
That day, it was   53  for Leela and the others in the orphanage to see such a heartwarming scene. In that moment, she understood: we're all simply human, and we have the ability to   54 with each other; it's   55 , and comes from deep inside.

Ann was on her first package trip in Rosas, Spain.
At the hotel, she checked in, and then went to her room to change before dinner. She was just ready to go downstairs when she found that her Spanish money wasn’t in her handbag. She carefully looked in all her luggage, but she couldn’t find it. All she had was a small purse with ten English pound notes in it!
Ann found a place to change her English money. She had very few pesetas(西班牙貨幣單位), and she would be here for two weeks. On her way back to the hotel, Ann bought some cheese, some bread and some oranges. When she got back, she told the manager that her doctor had told her not to eat Spanish food; she’d just have breakfast each day, as she knew the price of hotels included breakfast.
For the rest of her holiday, Ann swam in the hotel swimming pool, or lay on the beach and got a sunbath. When the other tourists went to interesting places, she always said she wasn’t well. In fact, her holiday wasn’t bad, except that she was always hungry. After all, a piece of fruit for lunch, and bread and cheese for supper isn’t very much.
Late in the afternoon of their last day, a girl, Jane, asked her why she never ate with them in the hotel restaurant. Ann told her about her money problems. Jane looked at her for a minute, and then said, “But didn’t you know? The price of this holiday includes everything!”
小題1:“A package trip” probably means _________.
A．a(chǎn) free trip
B．a(chǎn) long journey

A．she was afraid that she couldn’t pay for them with her little money
B．her doctor told her not to eat them
C．she wasn’t well
D．she wasn’t hungry
小題3:Why did Ann buy some cheese, some bread and some oranges?
A．Because they were good for her health.
B．Because she planned to eat them instead of lunch and supper.
C．Because she liked them more than dinners in the hotel restaurant.

Lying in the sun on a rock, the cougar（美洲豹）saw Jeb and his son, Tom, before they saw it. Jeb put his bag down quickly and pulled his jacket open with both hands, making himself look big to the cougar. It worked. The cougar hesitated, ready to attack Jeb, but ready to forget the whole thing, too.
Jeb let go of his jacket, grasped Tom and held him across his body, making a cross. Now the cougar’s enemy looked even bigger, and it rose up, ready to move away, but unfortunately Tom got scared and struggled free of Jeb.
“Tom, no!” shouted his father.
But Tom broke and ran and that’s the last thing you do with a cougar. The second Tom broke free, Jeb threw himself on the cougar, just as it jumped from the rock. They hit each other in mid-air and both fell. The cougar was on Jeb in a flash, forgetting about Tom, which was what Jeb wanted.
Cougars are not as big as most people think and a determined man stands a chance, even with just his fists. As the cougar’s claws（爪子）got into his left shoulder, Jeb swung his fist at its eyes and hit hard. The animal howled and put its head back. Jeb followed up with his other fist. Then out of the corner of his eye, Jeb saw Tom. The boy was running back to help his father.
“Knife, Tom,” shouted Jeb.
The boy ran to his father’s bag, while Jeb started shouting as well as hitting, to keep the cougar’s attention away from Tom. Tom got the knife and ran over to Jeb. The cougar was moving its head in and out, trying to find a way through the wall Jeb was making out of his arms. Tom swung with the knife, into the cougar’s back. It howled horribly and ran off into the mountains.
The whole fight had taken about thirty seconds.
小題1:Why did Jeb pull his jacket open when he saw the cougar?
A．To get ready to fight.B．To frighten it away.
C．To protect the boy.D．To cool down.
小題2:What do we know about cougars?
A．They are afraid of noises.
B．They hesitate before they hit.
C．They are bigger than we think.
D．They like to attack running people.
小題3:Which of the following happened first?
A．The cougar jumped from the rock.
B．Tom struggled free of his father.
C．Jeb asked Tom to get the knife.
D．Jeb held Tom across his body.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

Throughout this long, tense election, everyone has focused on the presidential candidates and how they’ll change America. Rightly so, but selfishly, I’m more fascinated by Michelle Obama and what she might be able to do, not just for this country, but for me as an African-American woman. As the potential First Lady, she would have the world’s attention. And that means that for the first time people will have a chance to get up close and personal with the type of African-American woman they so rarely see.
　　Usually, the lives of black women go largely unexamined. The prevailing theory seems to be that we’re all hot-tempered single mothers who can’t keep a man. Even in the world of make-believe, black women still can’t escape the stereotype of being eye-rolling, oversexed females raised by our never-married, alcoholic (酗酒的) mothers.
　　These images have helped define the way all women are viewed, including Michelle Obama. Before she ever gets the chance to commit to a cause, charity or foundation as First Lady, her most urgent and perhaps most complicated duty may be simple to be herself.
　　It won’t be easy. Because few mainstream publications have done in-depth features on regular African-American women, little is known about who we are, what we think and what we face on a regular basis. For better or worse, Michelle will represent us all.
　　Just as she will have her critics, she will also have millions of fans who usually have little interest in the First Lady. Many African-American blogs have written about what they’d like to see Michelle bring to the White House—mainly showing the world that a black woman can support her man and raise a strong black family. Michelle will have to work to please everyone—an impossible task. But for many African-American women like me, just a little of her poise (沉著), confidence and intelligence will go a long way in changing an image that’s been around for far too long.
小題1:Why does Michelle Obama hold a strong fascination for the author?
A．She serves as a role model for African women.
B．She possesses many admirable qualities becoming a First Lady.
C．She will present to the world a new image of African-American women.
D．She will pay closer attention to the interests of African-American women.
小題2:What is the common stereotype of African-American women according to the author?
A．They are victims of violence.
B．They are of an inferior violence.
C．They use quite a lot of body language.
D．They live on charity and social welfare.
小題3:What do many African-Americans write about in their blogs?
A．Whether Michelle can live up to the high expectations of her fans.
B．How Michelle should behave as a public figure.
C．How proud they are to have a black woman in the White House.
D．What Michelle should do as wife and mother in the White House.
小題4:What does the author say about Michelle Obama as a First Lady?
A．However many fans she has, she should remain modest,
B．She shouldn’t disappoint the African-American community.
C．However hard she tries, she can’t expect to please everybody.
D．She will give priority to African-American women’s concerns.
小題5:What do many African-American women hope Michelle Obama will do?
A．Help change the prevailing view about black women.
B．Help her husband in the task of changing America.
C．Outshine previous First Lady.
D．Fully display her fine qualities.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

I wasn’t surprised when I read that actress Helen Hunt recently stated that she would never allow her young daughter to become a child star. Ms Hunt is the daughter of a Hollywood technical director, and grew up in Hollywood. Now in her late 40s, she started acting and modeling when she was eight and has probably seen a lot over those years in show business.
She has had a successful career. She earned four Golden Globes and four Emmys. She also attained the top honor of her profession when she won the Best Actress Academy Award for her role in the 1992 movie, As Good As It Gets. Given those accolades, Ms Hunt is successful. There is no doubt that her early experiences as a child star prepared her for what has been an outstanding adult career. Given those achievements, why would this star declare she’ll never allow her daughter, now at the age of six, to follow in her footsteps?
Everyone familiar with the entertainment scene is aware of the reasons for her attitude. Recent tabloid (小報(bào)) news headlines featuring the troubles of former child stars, among them Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears and the late Gary Coleman, may answer the question. Although Ms Hunt managed to become a successful grown-up star, she apparently believes she’s an exception.
What Ms Hunt may be suggesting is that many very young stars go through unnatural childhoods on movie and TV sets. While they’re earning big incomes, they’re so pampered (縱容) by directors and praised by fans; they may get false impressions that their lives will always be that way. Then, within a few years, when faced with reality, they’re hurt and confused. After all the overwhelming affection, they find they can’t deal with the problems. That’s often when drugs and alcohol take over their lives.
Helen Hunt has some other reasons why she doesn’t want her daughter to be in the entertainment business. Many child stars can never make a successful transition to meaningful adulthood. However, as with many Hollywood movies, I believe there are both good and bad scenes about how it can be played out in real life.
小題1:According to the passage, Ms Hunt _________.
A．started acting and modeling when she was a little girl
B．has been acting for about 30 years
C．is the daughter of a famous actor
D．started singing when she was eight
小題2:The underlined word “accolades” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_________”.
A．difficultiesB．a(chǎn)wardsC．salariesD．opinions
小題3:The author thinks Helen Hunt’s success is mainly due to _________.
A．her hard workB．the help of a technicaldirector
C．her experiences as a child starD．her talent and good luck
小題4:Helen Hunt wouldn’t allow her daughter to become a child star because she thinks _________.
A．child stars often take drugs and alcohol
B．being a child star may ruin her future
C．child stars aren’t able to solve their problems
D．it is difficult to succeed as a child actor
小題5:From the passage we can conclude that _________.
A．few child stars will succeed in the future
B．there is no way to save the entertainment business
C．the author has a different opinion about child stars

My eighth grade consisted of 28 classmates. We knew each other so well that most of us could distinguish each other's handwriting at a glance. Although we grew up together, we still had class outcasts．From second grade on, a small group started harassing （騷擾） two or three of the others．I was one of those two or three, though I didn't know why．In most cases when children get picked on, they aren't good at sports or they read too much or they wear the wrong clothes or they are of a different race．But in my class, we all read too much and didn't know how to play sports．We had also been brought up to carefully respect each other's race．This is what was so strange about my situation．Usually, people are made outcasts because they are in some way different from the larger group．But in my class, large differences did not exist．It was as if the outcasts were invented by the group out of a need for them．
The harassment came in the form of laughter when I talked, and rolled eyes when I turned around．If I was out on the playground and approached a group of people, they often fell silent．Sometimes, someone would not see me coming and I would catch the tail end of a joke at my expense．
There was another girl in our class who was perhaps even more rejected than I．She provided the group with a lot of material for jokes．One day one popular girl came up to me to show me something she said I wouldn't want to miss．We walked to a comer of the playground．Three or four girls there were reading aloud from a small book, which I was told was the girl's diary．
I sat down and, laughing till my sides hurt, heard my voice finally mixed with the others．Often being accepted by others is more satisfying than being accepted by oneself, even though the satisfaction does not last．Looking back, I wonder how I could have participated in making fun of this girl when I knew perfectly well how it felt．If I were in that situation today I would react differently, but I can't honestly be sure．
小題1:The author was made an outcast because ____．
A．she couldn't play sports as well as others
B．her classmates needed to find an outcast her
C．her classmates found her clothes funny

C．She stopped the others from hurting the girl．

I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in (旁聽生）   for another l8 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?
It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unmarried college graduate student, and she decided to, put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course. " My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers, She only gave in a few months later when my parents promised that would someday go to college.
And 17 years later I did go to college. But I artlessly chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and ail of my working class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.
It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the $ 5 deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on.
