Along a long path we came to a deep valley, on the far side of which the path led into some very thick bushes. Rather than push through up again and rejoin the path on the far side of the bushes.
As I climbed down into the valley a bird flew off h rock on which I had put my hand. On looking at the spot from which the bird had risen, I saw two eggs. They were the kind that I did not have in my collection, so I placed them carefully in my bag, wrapped in a little dry grass.
As we went further down the valley the sides became steeper and not far from where I had entered. It came to drop of about twelve to fourteen feet. The water that rushed down all these small valleys in the rainy season had worn the rock as glass. As it was too deep to climb down, I handed my gun to one of the men and slid down it. My feet had hardly touched the sandy bottom when the two men jumped down, one on each side of me. They quickly gave me the gun and asked me if I had heard the tiger. In fact, I had heard nothing; possibly because of the noise I made sliding down the rock. The men said they had heard a tiger growling somewhere nearby, but they did not know from which direction the noise had come.
小題1:According to the text we know that __________.
A．the writer decided to push through the thick bushes

C．the men had seen a tigerD．a(chǎn) tiger had seen them
小題4:Which of the following orders is RIGHT about what happened in their travel?
A．hear the sound of tiger→find eggs→push through the bushes→climb down into the valley
B．climb down into the valley→push through the bushes→hear the sound of tiger→find eggs
C．push through the bushes→climb down into the valley→find eggs→hear the sound of tiger
D．find eggs→climb down into the valley→hear the sound of tiger→push through the bushes

小題1:B
小題2:B
小題3:B
小題4:C

小題1:綜合推理題。整篇文章向我們介紹了作者如何穿越山谷的探險(xiǎn)經(jīng)歷。A，C，D三項(xiàng)只是在他旅途過(guò)程中的小插曲，并不是他探險(xiǎn)的最終目的，所以應(yīng)排除。
小題2:句意理解題。答案見(jiàn)第二段最后一句。
小題3:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由最后一段倒數(shù)第三句可知道那兩個(gè)人開始聽到了老虎的聲音，后來(lái)覺(jué)得聲音近了，但是他們始終沒(méi)有看見(jiàn)老虎。
小題4:內(nèi)容排序題。文章第一段提到了穿越灌木叢，然后走到山谷，在山谷中發(fā)現(xiàn)鳥蛋，然后又聽到老虎的叫聲，所以正確的順序應(yīng)是“bushes”、“valley”和“find eggs”，最后是“hear the sound of tiger”。

Interview With God
I dreamed I had an interview with God.“So you would like to interview me?”God asked.“If you have the time,”I said.“My time is eternity.”God smiled,“what questions do you have in mind for me?”“What surprises you most about humankind?”God answered,“That they get bored with childhood,they rush to grow up,and then long to be children again.That they lose their health to make money... and then lose their money to restore their health.That by thinking anxiously about the future,they forget the present,such that they live in neither the present nor the future.That they live as if they will never die,and die as though they had never lived.”God’s hand took mine and we were silent for a while.And then I asked,“As a parent,what are some of life’s lessons you want your children to learn?To learn they cannot make anyone love them.All they can do is to let themselves be loved.To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others.To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness.To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love,and it can take many years to heal them.To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most,but is one who needs the least.To learn that there are people who love them dearly,but simply have not yet learned how to express or show their feelings.To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it differently.To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one another,but they must also forgive themselves.”“Thank you for your time,”I said humbly.“Is there anything else you would like your children to know?”God smiled and said;“Just know that I am here always.”

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

For many years, I was convinced that my suffering was due to my size. I believed that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts, and rejections with it.
Many weight－conscious people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our worst mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved being special, and being cherished. We fantasize about what it will be like when we reach the long－awaited goal. We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at last, we find ourselves there.
But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally fulfill its promise of everlasting happiness, self－worth, and, of course, love.
It took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. Beauty standards vary with culture. In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if it’s happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body? Why not look inside? Many of us strive hard to change our body, but in vain. We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves. When we change our attitudes toward ourselves, the whole world changes.
小題1:The passage tries to highlight the importance of _________.
A．body sizeB．a(chǎn)ttitudes toward life
C．culture differenceD．different beauty standards
小題2:What does the word “everything” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．All the problems.B．All the properties.
C．The whole world.D．The absolute truth.
小題3:What can be inferred about the author?
A．The author is a Samoan.
B．The author succeeded in losing weight.
C．The author has been troubled by her/ his weight.
D．The author probably got wounded in wars or accidents.
小題4:According to the author, what is the common view of those who have lost some weight first and gained it back later?
A．They feel angry about the regained weight.
B．They are indifferent to the regained weight.
C．They feel optimistic about future plans on weight control.
D．They think they should give up their future plans on weight control.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

John H. Johnson was born in a black family in Arkansas City in 1981. His father died in an accident when John was six. He was reaching the high school age, but his hometown offered no high school for blacks.
Fortunately he had a strong—willed caring mother. John remembered that his mother told him many times, “Son, you can be anything you want really to be if you just believe.” She told him not to depend on others, including his mother. “You have to learn success” she said. “All the people who work hard don’t succeed, but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard.”
These words, came from a woman with less than a third grade education. She also knew that believing and hard work don’t mean everything. So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her son, who was then 15, to Chicago.
Chicago in 1933 was not the promised land that black southerners were looking for. John’s mother and stepfather could not find work. But here John could go to school, and here he learned the power of words--as an editor of the newspaper and yearbook at Du Sable High School. His wish was to publish a magazine for blacks.
While others discouraged him, John’s mother offered him more words to live by “Nothing beats a failure but a try.” She also let him pawn（典當(dāng)） her furniture to get the $ 500 he needed to start the Negro magazine.  
It is natural that difficulties and failures followed john closely until he become very successful. He always keeps his mother’s words in mind:” Son, failure is not in your vocabulary!” Now John H. Johnson is one of the 400 richest people in America--worth  $150 million.
小題1: What does the story mainly want to show us?
A．The key to success for blacks.
B．The mental support John’s mother gave him.
C．The importance of a good education.
D．How John H. Johnson became successful.
小題2:Why did John’s mother decide to move to Chicago?
A．Because his father died when John was very young.
B．Because life was too hard for them to stay on in their hometown.
C．Because John needed more education badly.
D．Because there were no schools for Negroes in their hometown.
小題3:Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．John’s mother didn’t believe in or depend on others.
B．John’s mother believed one would succeed without working hard.
C．John’s mother thought one could be whatever one wanted to be.
D．John’s mother thought no one could succeed without working hard.
小題4:What does the underlined sentence “Nothing beats a failure but a try.” in Passage 5 mean?
A．No failure can be beaten unless you try.
B．If you try, you would succeed.
C．A try is always followed by a failure.
D．A failure is difficult to beat, even if you try.
