15．I was as normal as other children，totally exposed to brilliant sunshine and splendid world．However，I became blind at four after falling off a box car in a yard and landing on my head．Now I am thirty-two．I can slightly remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is．It would be wonderful to see again，but a calamity（災難） can do strange things to people．It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadn't been blind．I don't mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes．I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate the more what I had left．
　　Life，I believe，asks adjustments to reality．The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments，the more meaningful his own private world becomes．The adjustment is never easy．I was totally confused and frightened．But luckily，my parents and teacher saw my potential to live，and they made me want to fight it out with blindness．
　　The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself．That was basic．If I hadn't been able to do that，I would have broken down and become a chair rocker on the front porch for the rest of my life．When I say belief in myself，I am not talking about simply the kind of self confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone，but something bigger than that：an assurance that I am，despite imperfections，a real，positive person； that somewhere in the complicated pattern of people there is a special place where I can make myself fit．
　　It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance．It had to start with the simplest things．Once a man gave me an indoor baseball and urged me to roll it around．His words stuck in my head．"Roll it around!"By rolling the ball I could hear where it went．This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible：playing baseball．Later I invented a successful variation of baseball-groundball．
　　I have set a series of goals and tried to reach them，one at a time．It was no good trying for something that I knew at the start was wildly out of reach because that only invited the bitterness of failure．I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress．
28．What attitude does the author take to his blindness？B
A．Pessimistic．
B．Optimistic．
C．Desperate．
D．Shameful．
29．According to the passage，which statement is TRUE？D
A．After struggling，the author discovered his potential on his own and began to live with it．
B．The author invented a baseball with the help and encouragement of a kind man．
C．The author happened to be blind due to a car accident．
D．The author would not appreciate life if the calamity hadn't occurred．
30．What is the greatest challenge for the author？C
A．Attempting to adjust himself to reality．
B．Figuring out his own potential to live on one's own．
C．Building up his own confidence so that he can find his place in society．
D．Setting and reaching a series of goals．
31．What is the best title of the passage？A
A．A Disaster Pushes a man forward
B．A Fateful Accident
C．A Sorrowful Life
D．Fighting Against Difficulties．

解答 BDCA
28．B細節(jié)判斷題．本文作者幼時曾是一個普通孩子，不幸從車上摔下，頭著地，眼睛瞎了．現(xiàn)在長大后反思，他認為這場災難使得自己酷愛生活，在親人老師的幫助下，重新適應生活，找回生活自信．所以作者對待不幸是樂觀的．即Optimistic．故選B．
29．D理解判斷題．根據(jù)第一段a calamity（災難） can do strange things to people．It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadn't been blind．可知災難對人們來說是件奇怪的事，有一天我突然想到，如果我沒有失明，我就不會像現(xiàn)在這樣熱愛生活了．由此可知，如果災難沒有發(fā)生，作者就不會感激生活．故選D．
30．C細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第三段an assurance that I am，despite imperfections，a real，positive person； that somewhere in the complicated pattern of people there is a special place where I can make myself fit．可知我確信，盡管我是個不完美的人，但我是一個真正積極的人；在錯綜復雜的世界里，我認為有一個特殊的地方可以讓自己變得更健康．由此可知，要重建生活的自信，相信自己可以在生活中有自己的一席之地．故選C．
31．A標題選擇題．本文主要介紹了作者幼時曾是一個普通孩子，不幸從車上摔下，頭著地，眼睛瞎了．現(xiàn)在長大后反思，他認為這場災難使得自己酷愛生活，在親人老師的幫助下，重新適應生活，找回生活自信．A項：災難迫使人成長，符合標題的三性：概括性、針對性和醒目性．故選A．

點評 閱讀這類文章時，也應該在整體把握文章結(jié)構(gòu)的前提下，主要注意細節(jié)信息．細節(jié)題題干都是相應原文的變形（如同義改寫、詞性轉(zhuǎn)換等），因此要找到答案一定要找到題干在原文中的出處，再把原文和選項相比較．做題時，根據(jù)所提問題用尋讀、跳讀的方法可達到事半功倍的效果．

5．I was i n a terrible mood．Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn't invited me．I was in my room thinking of ways to make them sorry when my father came in．"Want to go for a ride，today，Beck？It's a beautiful day．"
"No!Leave me alone!"Those were the last words I said to him that morning．
    My friends called and invited me to go to the mall with them a few hours later．I forgot to be mad at them and when I came home to find a note on the table．My mother put it where I would be sure to see it．"Dad has had an accident．Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital"．
    When I reached the hospital，my mother came out and told me my father's injuries were extensive．"Your father told the driver to leave him alone and just call 911，thank God!If he had moved Daddy，there's no telling what might have happened．A broken rib（肋骨）might have pierced（穿透）a lung…"
My mother may have said more，but I didn't hear．I didn't hear anything except those terrible words：Leave me alone．My dad said them to save himself from being hurt more．How much had I hurt him when I hurled those words at him earlier in the day？
    It was several days later that he was finally able to have a conversation．I held his hand gently，afraid of hurting him．
"Daddy…I am so sorry…"
"It's okay，sweetheart．I'll be okay．"
"No，"I said，"I mean about what I said to you that day．You know，that morning？"
    My father could no more tell a lie than he could fly．He looked at me and said．"Sweetheart，I don't remember anything about that day，not before，during or after the accident．But I remember kissing you goodnight the night before．"He managed a weak smile．
    My English teacher once told me that words have immeasurable power．They can hurt or they can heal．And we all have the power to choose our words．I intend to do that very carefully from now on．

3．When I first told people I was going to work in Cameroon，the most common reaction was："Why？"The second was："It's in Africa； you'll die!"The third："Where is that？"So let me give some answers．I was offered a job that looked interesting in a part of the world I'd never been to before．I'd also long had an interest in Africa，so I decided it was time to find out the reality．
A small amount of research showed that in more than 40years since gaining independence，Cameroon has been a peaceful country with no wars．Not only are there no wars，but Cameroon is a food exporter to the region．
Now，after three years，I can say that these have been the healthiest years of my life!No malaria or any of the other frightening diseases you read about when Africa is mentioned．The worst thing that ever happened to me was a bout of food poisoning-once．
So what is it like to teach here？Well surprisingly not so different from teaching anywhere else．
Most students come to us with a bit of English in their heads．Cameroon is a bilingual country with French and English as official languages，while there are also close to 200local ethnic languages in a country of 16million people．French is the dominant language，spoken by about 80% of the population．
The local school system is very traditional and somewhat strict．Perhaps not surprisingly when there can be up to 150students in the classroom （of which maybe 30have the books，and there are probably seats for 70）．
Like anywhere else，students appreciate it if you know a bit about their country，and not just Roger Milla （the top scorer of the 1990World Cup，in case you're wondering）．It helps if you know the names of the ten provinces，know who the first president was，or can say a word in a local language．
So in conclusion：Cameroon isn't just football．Not is it war，poverty and disease．It's just life and people，like anywhere else．

29．On hearing the writer's decision，most peopleA．
A．didn't understand him  
B．considered it as a joke
C．a(chǎn)dmired him
D．laughed at him
30．According to the passage，Cameroon isB．
A．a(chǎn) country full of diseases
B．peaceful after liberation
C．a(chǎn) poor country，especially lack of food
D．quite different from others in education
31．What can we infer from the passage？C
A．Food export may lead to many frightening diseases
B．Most students in Cameroon do not need books
C．Cameroon is not as bad as people commonly believed
D．There must be a lot of people suffering from food poisoning．
32．What does the underlined word in the sixth paragraph mean？A
A．leading  B．easy  C．only  D．wonderful．

20．What time is it？Most people are pretty accurate in their answer．And if you don't know for sure，it's very likely that you can find out．There may be a watch on your wrist； there may be a clock on the wall，desk，or computer screen； or maybe you're riding in a car that has a clock in the dashboard（儀表板）．
Even if you don't have a timepiece of some sort nearby，your body keeps its own beat．Humans have an internal clock that regulates（調(diào)節(jié)） the beating of our heart，the pace of our breathing，the discharge（排出） of chemicals within our bloodstream，and many other bodily functions．
Time is something from which we can't escape．Even if we ignore it，it's still going by，ticking away，second by second，minute by minute，hour by hour．So the main issue in using your time well is，"Who's in charge？"We can allow time to slip by and let it be our enemy（敵人）．Or we can take control of it and make it our ally．
By taking control of how you spend your time，you'll increase your chances of becoming a more successful student．Perhaps more importantly，the better you are at managing the time you devote to your studies，the more time you will have to spend on your outside interests．
The aim of time management is not to schedule every moment so we become all slaves of a timetable that governs every waking moment of the day．Instead，the aim is to permit us to make informed choices as to how we use our time．Rather than letting the day go by，largely without our awareness，what we are going to discuss next can make us better able to control time for our own purposes．

33．The underlined word"ally"in Para.3most likely means somebody or something that isB．
A．your slave and serves you
B．your friend or supporter and helps you
C．under your control and obeys you
D．under your influence and follows you
34．The author intends to tell us that timeC．
A．could be regulated by a timepiece such as a clock or a watch
B．could be managed by the internal clock of human bodies
C．should be well managed for our own interest
D．should be saved for outside interests
35．In the next part，the author would most probably discuss with youD．
A．how to keep up with the times
B．how to make up for lost time
C．how to have a good time
D．how to make good use of time．

7．Leonardo da Vinci's mother may have been a Chinese slave according to a new research by an Italian historian and novelist-Angelo Paratico，who has spent the last 20years living and working in Hong Kong，researching the links between his homeland and China over the past half century．
Mr Paratico said the documents he has uncovered during two years of research form the basis of his latest book Leonardo Da Vinci，a Chinese scholar lost in Renaissance（文藝復興） Italy．The book，which is due to be published next year，uncovers evidence that there's a link between Da Vinci and the Far East．
Speaking to the South China Morning Post，Mr Paratico said，"I am sure that Leonardo's mother was from the East，but to make her a Chinese，we need to use a deductive method（演繹法）．One wealthy client of Leonardo's father had a slave called Caterina．After Leonardo's date of birth，she disappeared from the documents．She was no longer working there．"
It is believed that his mother was called Caterina，who，according to some reports，was a local peasant．But Mr Paratico's new work claims it is most likely that Da Vinci's mother was a slave．Supporting his theory，he said，"During the Renaissance，countries like Italy and Spain were full of slaves from the East．"
He claimed that there were certain aspects of Da Vinci's life and works which suggest a Chinese link．For instance，he was writing with his left hand from left to right and he was also a vegetarian，which was not common．Mona Lisa is probably a portrait of his mother，as Sigmund Freud said in 1910．On the back of Mona Lisa，there is a Chinese landscape and even her face looks Chinese．
Mr Paratico said he believes the only way to solve the mystery is to dig out some of Da Vinci's relations in Florence and extract some DNA．
43．What is Mr Paratico's latest book based on？A
A．His research findings．
B．His living experience．
C．His final visit to Italy．
D．His interest in Renaissance．
44．What may suggest there is a link between Da Vinci and Chinese？B
A．His working habit．
B．His ways of writing．
C．His birth date．
D．His father's friend．
45．What can we learn about Da Vinci's mother？D
A．She was a slave of Leonardo's father．
B．She quit working after her marriage．
C．She was buried in Florence after death．
D．She was probably the model of Mona Lisa．

科目：高中英語 來源： 題型：閱讀理解

5．It's 2010，outside the gate of a school somewhere in the UK．Some teenagers are talking．One says to another，"I'm tired of jamming after school---it's really vanilla．Let's go for a za，OK？"Two adults are walking past．They hear what the teenagers are saying，but they don't understand a word．（What the teenagers said was，"I'm tired of hanging around after school---it's really boring．Let's go for a pizza．"）
This is nothing new---teenagers always invent new words and phrases．They create words for everyday things---words that mean good or porents or bad or good-looking，and so on．Look at these different ways of saying good in recent decades：
1960s---groovy （or fab）
1970s---neat
1980s---ace
1990s---wicked
2000s---cool
But，of course，the words you use depend on your interests，your friends，the music you listen to and the part of the country you live in．Different groups of teenagers have different likes and dislikes，and so they also have different expressions．
So why do teenagers invent new words，or invent new meanings for old words？Many people think it's because they don't want adults to understand，but that probably isn't true---the real reason is that teenagers like to be creative and play with language，so they have fun creating new words．
And what do parents and old people think about it all？Most of them don't worry about it---after all，they had their own special words when they teenagers too．But，some adults complain about"teen talk"and get quite annoyed by it．But that's all part of the fun for the teenagers!
63．What is the way of teenagers'saying good in the 2000s？（只用一個單詞）
Cool
64．Why do teenagers invent new words？（不多于七個單詞）
Because they have fun creating new words．
65．What is the topic of the passage？（不多于四個單詞）
Teen talk．．
