Day 1

I first heard of “Show Racism (種族歧視) the Red Card” when my friend Jill asked me to support their work. Basically, it’s an organization which uses professional (職業(yè)的) footballers to help fight racism in sport and society. A few weeks later, he asked me if I wanted to do a bit more for them. I thought he probably meant for me to give money or do some voluntary work. But then he told me that a group of about 20 people were getting sponsored (贊助) to play the highest ever game of rugby (橄欖球) at 5,140 meters on Mount Everest.

Day 4

We’re making our way up to the base camp — that’s where most climbers start their final climb to the top — and then, we’ll play our game. Today we started out at 8 am. We had to cross three suspension bridges (懸索橋). One of them was so high that you couldn’t see the bottom. Then we walked through some beautiful forest areas before we started a two-hour uphill hike to Namche Bazaar.

Day 10

Base camp is basically just a lot of stones and tents. The walk up was really exhausting. Maybe if I was fitter, I wouldn’t find this so hard, but then it was not just me — all of us got very short of breath.

Day 11

Today we played our game. It was supposed to be a “friendly” game, and last night, we had agreed we’d just walk and not run. However, it was a really heated game and two players were even sent off. We only played for 14 minutes. I think someone would have got hurt if we’d played any longer! My team won and I scored the last try! Of course, none of this matters. What’s really important is that we did it and we’ve raised a load of money.

1.The first time the author was asked to do something for Jill’s work, he _____.

A. got a big shock

B. accepted his request

C. looked down upon Jill

D. spread the news to 20 people

2.What can we learn about the game of rugby on Mount Everest?

A. It got little attention.

B. It was a bit competitive.

C. It ended because someone was injured.

D. It was held on the top of Mount Everest.

3.The author’s trip to Mount Everest can be described as _____.

A. frightening and fruitless

B. relaxing and interesting

C. hard but successful

D. short but fantastic

Philo Farnsworth is not a name most people know. But his work changed the way we learn, the way we live, and even the way we think. Philo Farnsworth is responsible for one of the 20th century: television.

Philo Farnsworth was born in America in 1906. He was interested in science and technology at an early age. When he was twelve years old, he built an electric motor for his family’s washing machine. When he was fourteen, he was already giving a lot of thought to electrons（電子）. As he was driving the family’s horse-drawn plowing machine, he noticed the evenly spaced rows of the potato fields. This sight gave him the idea that electrons could scan（掃描） an image one row at a time—an idea that was the key to electronic television.

By the time he was twenty-one years old, Farnsworth had started his own company and had managed to build the world’s first electronic television. It was a very simple device（設備）. But after years of hard work, Farnsworth was able to introduce the kind of television we now use.

Farnsworth was a great inventor, but lived an unhappy life. He had a legal battle with the company, Radio Corporation of America (RCA) over who the real inventor of the TV was. He won the case, but the government stopped companies from making TVs during the war, so Farnsworth didn’t make much money from the invention.

When Farnsworth was young, he imagined television as a convenient way for distant audiences to enjoy lectures by famous professors, or entertainment by the best symphonies（交響樂） and ballets. When he was older, television became much more popular, but he was very disappointed in the silly programs on TV. He even told his own son, “There’s nothing on it worthwhile, and we’re not going to watch it in this household.”

1.What can we learn about Philo Farnsworth?

A. He had a strong physical advantage.

B. He had strong powers of observation.

C. He had a strong interest in journalism.

D. He had a strong sense of responsibility.

2.The underlined sentence showed Farnsworth was legally recognized as ________.

A. the real founder of RCA

B. the real inventor of the TV

C. the greatest inventor of his time

D. the organizer of the battle with RCA

3.The last paragraph mainly tells us that Farnsworth ________.

A. didn’t like to watch TV programs

B. couldn’t afford to buy a TV set

C. couldn’t listen to famous lectures

D. didn’t like what television became

4.What is the best title for the text?

A. How did Philo Farnsworth invent television?

B. What caused Philo Farnsworth to invent television?

C. Philo Farnsworth: the unhappy father of television

D. Philo Farnsworth: a well-known scientist and inventor

Valerie Jarrett, 58, is serving as a top adviser to President Obama and has been close to the first family since the early 1990s. Joe Heim from WashingtonPost had an interview with her.

Joe Heim: What do you think of a reporter who interviews you for 25 minutes, then later finds out his recorder stopped working and asks you to do the interview again?

Valerie Jarrett: That he's human. You could have just tried to pretend that it didn't happen.

Joe Heim: You're considered the president's closest adviser. Have you ever given him bad advice since he became president?

Valerie Jarrett: I'm sure that I have. I think one of the reasons why the president's management style is very effective is because all of his advisers feel very comfortable being open about their advice. Finally, there's only one decision-maker. And that's the president.

Joe Heim: What misunderstandings are there of you?

Valerie Jarrett: A little-known fact is that I started my life very shy and remained very shy well into adulthood. Painfully shy, I would call it. And I often share this, particularly with young people, because it's something I really had to work hard to overcome. And for all the shy people out there I say, you, too, can overcome it. But it took a lot of hard work on my part, and I discovered along the way that just because you're nervous and you have butterflies in your stomach doesn't mean that it has to show. My point in sharing it with you is that part of life is pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone (舒適區(qū)). And if you're going to grow, you have to learn how to take on new challenges that you might not be good at.

Joe Heim: Will you stay until the end of his term?

Valerie Jarrett: I serve at the pleasure of the president. If he wants me to stay, I will.

1.From the underlined words “That he's human”, we can learn Valerie Jarrett is _____.

A. warm-hearted B. broad-minded

C. well-educated D. strong-willed

2.Why does Valerie Jarrett share her shyness?

A. To show her hard way to success.

B. To prove shy people can also be great.

C. To show it is easy to overcome shyness.

D. To ask people to face challenges bravely.

3.In which part of a newspaper could we find this text?

A. People. B. Society. C. World. D. Culture.

科目：高中英語 來源：2016-2017學年江西師范大學附中高二上第一次月考英語卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

In the early 1980s, one of our neighbors asked my mom if she would make a few gift baskets for her to give as gifts for the holidays. My mom agreed and news of the unique gift baskets my mum was making spread like wildfire throughout the neighborhood. My mum was busy throughout the holiday season, so she asked a friend to help her. When the orders continued after the holiday season for baby gifts, birthday gifts and more, it occurred to them that maybe this job could be turned into a business and they did it.

My mum went into her business because she had a creative idea. She got orders and filled orders. But there was no purpose and no real strategy(策略). In 1991, my mum' s partner got into financial trouble and there was not enough money to support either my mum or her partner.

So if you are led by your creativity or enthusiasm, make sure you ask yourself what you want out of your business. If you don't set goals, how will you know what direction to go in? Do you want to create jobs and growth in the economy? Are you looking for a hobby? You can't keep scores if you don' t know what game you are playing.

After my mom's partner gave up, she had to abandon(拋棄) her business to support herself. She swore（發(fā)誓）she would run a business again and do it differently the next time. However, there wasn't a "next time" for her. She passed away just after her 51st birthday. She never had someone tell her how important having a goal was. She never had an opportunity to be everything that she could be.

There are no right or wrong goals, only the ones that matter to you. Set them so that you can make progress and achieve success, whatever that may mean to you.

1.The author's mum started her own business after she ________.

A. got continuous orders with her friend

B. cooperated with one of her neighbors

C. advertised her products in the neighborhood

D. designed unique gift baskets for the holidays

2.Which of the following can best describe the author' s mum?

A. Ambitious.B. Imaginative.C. Poor.D. Innocent(天真的).

3.After the author' s mum failed in her business, she _________.

A. hoped to restart it after her 51st birthday

B. wanted to find a different partner

C. reflected on her failure

D. didn' t work any more

4.The author writes the text to stress the importance of _________.

A. creativityB. opportunitiesC. goalsD. partners

Dear David,

Long time no see! I miss you very much.

I’m writing to express my thank for your help during the seven-day summer camp. I have

made a great progress in my English by communicating to you. What is more, while visit some

tourist attractions, you volunteer to be my guide and showed me a lot of American culture, it

has broadened my horizons. Not only have I learn a lot about American culture, but also

I have made good American friends. It was really a wonderful experience!

By the way, would you like to join the summer camp in China the next year? I’d like to your

guide and you can experience any Chinese culture and customs. I am sure you will have a

great time.

I am looking forward to your reply.

Yours sincerely.
