The morning for our snowmobiling (雪上汽車) adventure finally arrived, and we set off on the hour-and-a-half drive to the resort. A fresh powder had fallen the night before, and everything was frosted white. We couldn’t have asked for more perfect conditions. The sun sparkled (閃光) on the snow, and the trails (路線) were completely empty – not another person or snowmobile in sight. We were thrilled at being the only people for miles around … until we got going.
As we drove through the deserted wilderness (荒野), my excitement became stone-cold fear. I had no idea what I was afraid of, or why I was afraid, but suddenly every turn, every hill, every steep (陡峭的) side of the mountain scared me to death. I kept picturing us crashing headlong into a tree or falling off the side of a drop. ?
But after lunch things changed. We were the only humans who had been there since the snowfall. The peaceful place, the incredible beauty of the landscape, and the almost sacred experience of sharing a mountain with the wildlife touched my very core (核心).  My mind cleared and quieted and my muscles relaxed.
As we drove the last leg of the run, I began to resent being afraid to drive. Deep down, I wanted to be in charge of the thing that scared me. It made me angry that fear was keeping me from something I really wanted to do. The day was coming to an end, and the resort was only a few miles away. I knew that if I didn’t take my chance now, I would regret it.
I signaled for my husband to pull over. I wanted to drive, although my heart pounded (重擊). I stared off slowly and felt the wind in my face. I smiled and sped up a little. I let out a “Yee-haw!” and went full out, taking my husband on the best ride of the day.
We ended the day on that breathless, carefree, and I felt proud of myself – proud of overcoming my fear.
小題1:What is the story mainly about?
A．What the author loves about snowmobiling.
B．What difficulties the couple faced during their adventure.
C．What interested the author during her time snowmobiling.
D．How the author overcame her fear during her adventure.
小題2: What can be concluded from the article?
A．The author was confident as she was driving in the deserted wilderness.
B．The author didn’t get worried until they started to drive through the deserted wild.
C．Aware that she and her husband were the only people around, the author became anxious.
D．The author was so nervous that she almost crashed into a big tree.
小題3:According to the article, after lunch the author _____.
A．gradually calmed down
B．stopped to enjoy the beautiful scenery
C．saw some wildlife on the mountain
D．was afraid to continue her journey
小題4:The underlined word “resent” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _______.
A．consider B．a(chǎn)ppreciateC．hate D．recognize
小題5:What message does the story convey?
A．A person’s biggest enemy is his or her inner self.
B．It’s no use crying over the spilt milk.
C．Take time to enjoy the beauty of nature.
D．Respect and take pride in yourself.

The measure of a man’s real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out. ---Thomas Macaulay
Some thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York. One day, Mrs Nanette O’Neill gave an arithmetic   36  to our class. When the papers were   37  she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the same mistakes throughout the test.
There is nothing really new about   38 in exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs O’Neill didn’t even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to   39  after class. I was one of the twelve.
Mrs O’Neill asked   40  questions, and she didn’t   41  us either. Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the   42  words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to   43  these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.
I don’t know about the other eleven boys. Speaking for   44  I can say:it was the most important single   45  of my life. Thirty years after being introduced to Macaulay’s words, they   46  seem to me the best yardstick(準繩), because they give us a way to _47____ourselves rather than others.
 48  of us are asked to make   49   decisions about nations going to war of armies going to battle. But all of us are called   50  daily to make a great many personal decisions.   51  the wallet, found in the street, be put into a pocket or turned over to the policeman? Should the   52  change received at the store be forgotten or   53 ? Nobody will know except   54 . But you have to live with yourself, and it is always   55  to live with someone you respect.

There are many ways to find a job. It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board.

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.
As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man's name embossed in gold. Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible?" He then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.
Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realizing his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make the arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.
When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father's important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words. "PAID IN FULL".
How many times do we miss blessings because they are not packaged as we expected? Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.
Sometimes we don't realize the good fortune we have or we could have because we expect "the packaging" to be different. What may appear as bad fortune may in fact be the door that is just waiting to be opened.
小題1:According to the passage we can infer that _________.
A．the author’s father was once very rich.
B．the author’s father didn’t love him.
C．the author’s father had not enough money to buy a run car.
D．the author’s thought was wildly unrealistic.
小題2:When author graduated from his school, his father sent him _________.
A．a(chǎn) beautiful run carB．a(chǎn) new leather-bound Bible
C．a(chǎn) gift he hoped forD．only an empty box
小題3:After graduation, author _________ before his father died.
A．often went to see his fatherB．had never gone home
C．went home once in the whileD．a(chǎn)lways contacted his father by phone
小題4:The passage can imply that _________.
A．Good fortune lies within bad, bad fortune lurks within good.
B．The author’s father didn’t understand his child.
C．where there is a will, there is a way.
D．Every man is the son of his own works.

When I stepped out the plane from Miami into Charlotte, North Carolina, airport for a connecting flight home, I immediately knew something was wrong. Lots of desperate people crowded the terminal. I quickly learned that flights headed to the Northeast were called off because of a storm. The earliest they could get us out of Charlotte was Tuesday. It was Friday. A gate agent stood on the counter and shouted, “Don’t ask us for help! We cannot help you!”
I joined a crowd that ran from terminal to terminal in search of a flight out. Eventually, I found six strangers willing to rent a van with me. We drove through the night to Washington, where I took a train the rest of the way to Providence.
The real problem, of course, is that incidents like this happen every day, to everyone who flies, more and more often. It really gets to me, though, because for eight years I was on the other side, as a flight attendant for Trans-World Airlines (TWA).
I know the days are gone when attendants could be written up if we did not put the lines napkins with the TWA logo in the lower right-hand corner of the first-class diners’ trays. As are the days when there were three dinner options on flights from Boston to Los Angeles in economy class. When, once, stuck on a tarmac（機場停機坪）in Newark for four hours, a planeload of passengers got McDonald’s hamburgers and fries by thoughtfulness of the airline. I have experienced the decline of service along with the rest of the flying public. But I believe everything will change little by little, because I remember the days when to fly was to soar (翱翔). The airlines, and their employees, took pride in how their passengers were treated. And I think the days are sure to come back one day in the near future.
小題1:Many people crowded the terminal because _______.
A．they were ready to board on the planes
B．something was wrong with the terminal
C．the flights to the Northeast were canceled
D．the gate agent wouldn’t help the passengers
小題2: How did the writer get to Providence at last?___
A．by airB．by van
C．by trainD．by underground
小題3:Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?______
A．Incidents happened to those who fly quite often.
B．The writer used to be a flight attendant for Trans-World Airlines.
C．Even a small mistake might cause complaints from passengers in the past.
D．McDonald’s hamburgers and fries were among regular dinner options.
小題4:What can be implied from the passage?____
A．The writer lived in Charlotte, North Carolina.
B．The writer thought the service was not as good as it used to be.
C．The writer with other passengers waited to be picked up patiently.
D．Passengers would feel proud of how they were treated on the plane.
