As prices and building costs keep rising, the "do-it-yourself" (DIY) trend（趨勢）in the U.S. continues to grow. "We needed furniture（家具）for our living room, "says John Ross, "and we just didn’t have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs." John got married six months ago, and in common with many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Rosses took a 2-week course for $280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.

Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $420. "I was deeply upset about it. Now I’ve finished a car repair course, I should be able to fix the car by myself."

John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a "do-it-yourselfer", you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don’t have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.

1.We can learn from the text that many newly married people _____.

A. find it hard to pay for what they need

B. have to learn to make their own furniture

C. take DIY courses run by the government

D. seldom go to a department store to buy things

2.Jim Hatfield decided to become a do-it-yourselfer when _____.

A. his car repairs cost too much

B. the car repair class was not helpful

C. he could no possible do two jobs

D. he had to raise the children all by himself

3.What would be the best title for the text?

A. The Joy of DIY

B. You Can Do It Too!

C. Welcome to Our DIY Course!

D. Ross and Hatfield: Believers in DIY.

科目：高中英語 來源：2017屆高一輪總復(fù)習(xí)模塊沖關(guān)評價(jià)練2英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

Every Wednesday, I go to Cantata Adult Life Services，a local retirement community in Brookfield, Illinois, US, with my classmates to do community service.

After my very first visit to Cantata，my life changed forever.That may sound a bit dramatic, but volunteering with the elderly has changed my views on life.

Our visits last about an hour, and we bring 25?30 students every time. We play board games and cards with the residents while we're there.

You can watch all the movies and TV shows you want about “l(fā)ife back then”， but nothing compares to talking to the people who were actually there. Just hearing their stories has touched me in a way I never thought possible.

Whether it was talking to 98?year?old “Hurricane Hilda” about her glory days as a roller skater or chatting with Lou about the times she danced with a famous actor, I was completely attracted by every single memory the residents wanted to share with me.

Even the residents who don't have amazing memories make the experience satisfying.I remember visiting Mrs. Robinson. She couldn't recall much about her past, but she told me she'd never forget how kind I was just to listen to her “rambling(漫談)”. It made me realize that it's the little things that make life worth living. That's something I won't forget anytime soon.

If there's one thing I've realized in my three years of visiting Cantata, it's that presence—just being there—means more than anything to many of the residents. And despite how busy our lives are, there's always time to make someone's day.

For me, it feels great to be a source of happiness, a smile on a bad day or a listening ear for old memories. And at the end of the day, that's all that matters.

It's easy to feel like you don't have anything in common with the elderly—especially when you're a teenager. But that's not true at all.

I hate to be overly clichéd(陳詞濫調(diào)的) here, but age really is just a number. As young adults, it's important for us to realize this sooner rather than later.We can learn a lot from the elderly, and they can often benefit from teenagers too.

1.What do the volunteers do according to the passage?

A．They share everything with the residents.

B．They play board games and cards with the residents.

C．They watch the residents play games.

D．They buy gifts for the residents.

2.According to the writer, what is the most important thing that volunteers can do for the elderly?

A．Playing with them.

B．Benefiting from them.

C．Helping them.

D．Being there with them.

3.What does the writer want to tell us by writing this passage?

A．We don't have anything in common with the elderly.

B．Age is just a number.

C．It is important to help the elderly.

D．Young adults and the elderly can benefit from each other.

假定你是李華，你校攝影俱樂部（photography club）將舉辦國際中學(xué)攝影展。請給你的英國朋友Peter寫封信，請他提供作品。信的內(nèi)容包括：

1．主題：環(huán)境保護(hù)；

2．展覽時(shí)間；

3．投稿郵箱：intlphotoshow@gmschool.com.

注意：

1．詞數(shù)100左右；

2．可以適當(dāng)增加細(xì)節(jié)，以使行文連貫。

假設(shè)你是新華中學(xué)的學(xué)生李華，你和在上海上學(xué)的英國朋友Tom約好下周末去北京旅游，但你因故不能赴約。請根據(jù)以下要點(diǎn)用英語給他寫一封電子郵件：

1. 表示歉意;

2. 解釋原因;

3. 另約時(shí)間。

寫作指導(dǎo)：這是一篇應(yīng)用文，要求寫一封道歉信。寫作要求只給出了大體的框架，因此具有很大的開放性。道歉信主要是向收信人表明歉意，請求對方諒解自己的過失。寫道歉信時(shí)要明確不是找借口為自己辯護(hù)，而是承認(rèn)自己的過錯(cuò)并提出彌補(bǔ)過錯(cuò)的具體建議和方法。此類信件的關(guān)鍵是用詞準(zhǔn)確，表達(dá)真誠。在寫作時(shí)可以根據(jù)提示的要求按照三段式的模式布局謀篇。

首段：重述自己做錯(cuò)的事，表示歉意。

主體段落：說明道歉的具體原因，應(yīng)盡量詳細(xì)描述做錯(cuò)事的經(jīng)過。寫信時(shí)應(yīng)該注意在申述理由時(shí)要照顧讀信人的感受，切忌強(qiáng)詞奪理。

結(jié)尾段：再次表明承認(rèn)錯(cuò)誤的態(tài)度，請求收信人的諒解。也可以提出補(bǔ)救的辦法。
