“Ready. . . set. . . ”The gun popped and we were off. The other girls rushed　　me. I felt　　as I fell farther and farther behind.
“Hooray! ”shouted the crowd. It was the loudest　　I had ever heard at a meet. The first-place runner was two laps(圈)ahead of me when she crossed the finish line. “Maybe I should　　, ”I thought as I moved on. 　　, I decided to keep going. During the last two laps, I ran　　and decided not to　　in track next year. It wouldn’t be　　it, even if my foot did heal.
When I finished, I heard a cheer—　　than the one I’d heard earlier. I turned around and　　enough, the boys were preparing for their race. “They must be cheering for the boys. ”I was leaving　　several girls came up to me. “Wow, you’ve got courage! ”one of them told me.
“Courage? I just　　a race! ”I thought. “I would have given up on the first lap, ”said another girl. “We were cheering for you. Did you hear us? ”
Suddenly I regained　　. I decided to　　track next year. I realized strength and courage aren’t always　　in medals and victories, but in the　　we overcome(戰(zhàn)勝). The strongest people are not always the people who win, 　　the people who don’t give up when they lose.

【文章大意】帶著受傷的腳參加3 000米跑步比賽, 這注定沒(méi)法取勝。可是只要你勇于參賽, 堅(jiān)持到底, 你也會(huì)有所收獲。
小題1:選C。邏輯推理題。又是地區(qū)運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)了, 可作者的腳由于上一次的(earlier)受傷仍然還沒(méi)有痊愈。注意本句中的過(guò)去完成時(shí)態(tài)及still的意義有著明顯的提示意義。slighter更輕微的; worse更糟的; earlier更早的, 上一次的; heavier更沉重的, 巨大的。
小題2:選D。邏輯推理題。根據(jù)上句可知, 作者不是認(rèn)為(supposed), 設(shè)想(imagined), 希望(expected)參加運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì), 而是懷疑(doubted)自己是否應(yīng)該參加運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)。
小題3:選C。邏輯推理題。但是我到了比賽場(chǎng)地, 準(zhǔn)備(ready)參加3 000米跑步。
小題4:選B。前后照應(yīng)題。其他的女孩子不是落到了后面(from behind), 靠近(close to, next to)作者, 而是沖到了作者的前面(ahead of)。后文as I fell farther and farther behind有所暗示。
小題5:選A。背景常識(shí)題。作者越來(lái)越落后, 作者不會(huì)感到驚訝(astonished), 也激動(dòng)(excited)不起來(lái), 而是感到慚愧(ashamed), 當(dāng)然不至于害怕(frightened)。
小題6:選A。詞匯復(fù)現(xiàn)題。這是作者在運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)上聽(tīng)到的最大的歡呼聲(cheer)。前面“Hooray! ”(歡呼的叫聲)也有所暗示, 后文I heard a cheer—　　　than the one I’d heard earlier和They must be cheering for the boys. 也都有明顯提示。
小題7:選B。邏輯推理題。第一名已經(jīng)先我兩圈到達(dá)了終點(diǎn), 作者心想可能自己不該參加比賽, 應(yīng)該放棄(drop out)才對(duì)。slow down(使)慢下來(lái), (使)減速; drop out不參與, 離去, 放棄; go on繼續(xù)下去; speed up加速。
小題8:選D。邏輯推理題。然而我還是決定堅(jiān)持跑下去。注意前后句子之間的轉(zhuǎn)折意義。therefore因此, 所以, 表示因果關(guān)系; otherwise另外, 否則, 表示其他情況的出現(xiàn); besides此外, 還, 表示附加意義; however然而, 可是, 表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。
小題9:選C。前后照應(yīng)題。跑最后兩圈時(shí), 作者無(wú)法輕松(with delight)起來(lái), 也沒(méi)有害怕恐懼(with fear), 當(dāng)然也無(wú)法提前(in advance)到達(dá), 而是在腳疼(in pain)的狀態(tài)中跑著。前文My foot still hadn’t healed from a(n)　　　injury. 已經(jīng)有所提示。
小題10:選C。邏輯推理題。作者在想這一次已經(jīng)沒(méi)有辦法了, 明年就不參加賽跑了。文中一再談到race和track。
小題11:選A。邏輯推理題。由上文作者已落后且腳有傷, 可知作者認(rèn)為這樣做不值得, 故用worth, valuable后不能直接加賓語(yǔ)。
小題12:選D。前后照應(yīng)題。歡呼聲不是更弱(weaker), 更低(lower), 而是更大(louder)。longer缺少比較的對(duì)象或前提。
小題13:選B。邏輯推理題。作者轉(zhuǎn)身看到男孩子正準(zhǔn)備開(kāi)始比賽, 確信(sure)大家是為男孩子歡呼。
小題14:選B。邏輯推理題。作者正準(zhǔn)備離開(kāi), 這時(shí)幾個(gè)女孩子走上前來(lái)。when在此句中作并列連詞, 意思是“正在這時(shí), 就在那個(gè)時(shí)候, 突然”。while作從屬連詞, 表示“當(dāng)……時(shí)候”, 通常強(qiáng)調(diào)兩個(gè)動(dòng)作或情況的同時(shí)發(fā)生; as作從屬連詞, 表示“當(dāng)……時(shí)候”, 通常強(qiáng)調(diào)一個(gè)動(dòng)作或情況伴隨另一動(dòng)作或情況; since作從屬連詞, 表示“自……以后, 自……以來(lái)”。
小題15:選D。邏輯推理題。作者對(duì)女孩的贊揚(yáng)不解, 因?yàn)樗齽倓偱苓^(guò)了終點(diǎn), 結(jié)束了比賽, 但跑在最后沒(méi)有獲勝, 輸(lose)了比賽。
小題16:選B。邏輯推理題。女孩子們的鼓勵(lì)使作者又找回了失去的希望(hope), 而不是歡樂(lè)(cheer), 興趣(interest), 經(jīng)驗(yàn)(experience)。
小題17:選D。詞語(yǔ)辨析題。作者決定明年還要參加(stick with)徑賽比賽。hold on把持住, 不掛斷, 停止, 繼續(xù), 常有hold on to的用法。turn to轉(zhuǎn)向, 求助于, 致力于, 開(kāi)始行動(dòng); begin with首先, 用……開(kāi)頭; stick with與……固定在一起, 堅(jiān)持做(某事)。
小題18:選A。邏輯推理題。作者意識(shí)到力量和勇氣并非總是可以用獎(jiǎng)牌和勝利衡量(measure)的。measure估量, 斟酌, 權(quán)衡; praise贊揚(yáng), 稱贊; test測(cè)試, 檢驗(yàn); increase增加, 增大。
小題19:選B。邏輯推理題。但是在我們戰(zhàn)勝了的“競(jìng)爭(zhēng)”中, 力量和勇氣總是可以估量出來(lái)。sadness悲哀, 悲傷; struggle掙扎, 努力, 奮斗; disease疾病, 弊病; tiredness疲勞, 疲倦。
小題20:選D。邏輯推理題。最堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的人并非總是贏得勝利的人, 而是(but)那些遇到失敗挫折時(shí)決不放棄的人。or或者, 還是, 表示選擇關(guān)系; nor也不, 表示否定關(guān)系; and表示并列關(guān)系; but表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。

Anti-bird flu contingency (意外事故) measures, including a proposal to separate poultry from humans and a series of traffic and logistics (后勤) measures will be discussed at the Legislative Council's Food Safety and Environmental Hygiene Panel meeting next month. Secretary for Health, Welfare and Food Dr York Chow says the contingency plan would come into force if an outbreak occurred near Hong Kong.
Speaking on a radio talk show this morning, Dr Chow said the separation of poultry from humans policy, which will be determined after a decision whether to set up a central slaughtering (屠宰) house or several regional ones, would be based on the demand for live chickens.
He pointed out that at present there were 30,000 live chickens imported from the Mainland and 30,000 supplied locally. If this demand persisted, there would be no central slaughtering house or wholesale point that could handle such an amount and regional slaughtering houses could be the choice.
He added that building of regional slaughtering houses took time, but stressed the need to study the views of the public and the sector before a final decision was made.
Regarding avian flu vaccination (種痘) for humans, Dr Chow said it was still being developed. He added that it may not be reliable in the case of an outbreak as records show vaccination can only offer 5% protection against a virus.
He said Hong Kong had more experience and expertise than neighbouring territories in the fight against viral outbreaks, and was willing to offer them help. He added there was no “boundary” for infectious diseases and close cooperation among different countries had to be maintained to fight against a possible outbreak.
小題1: It can be inferred from the first paragraph that ______.
A．the government is planning to take strong action to fight against bird flu
B．a(chǎn)n outbreak which happened near Hong Kong made people very frightened
C．a(chǎn)nti-bird flu contingency measures will come into use next month
D．Dr York Chow will organize a meeting to discuss the contingency plan
小題2:According to the passage, the best way to fight against bird flu is to ______.
A．separate poultry from humansB．set up a central slaughtering house
C．set up several regional slaughtering housesD．get avian flu vaccination
小題3:When the final decision will be made mainly depends on ______.
A．the demand for live chickensB．the views of the public
C．the advice from experts
D．the time when regional slaughtering houses will be finished
小題4:Which of the following statements isn’t Dr York Chow’s opinion?
A．Hong Kong is better at dealing with viral outbreaks than its neighbours.
B．Infectious diseases could happen in any country.
C．Other territories should ask Hong Kong for help because it has more experience.
D．Cooperation is quite necessary when danger is coming.

We have met the enemy, and he is ours. We bought him at a pet shop. When monkey-pox, a disease usually found in the African rain forest, suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest, it’s hard not to wonder if the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings. “Most of the infections (感染) we think of as human infections started in other animals,” says Stephen Morse, director of the Center for Public Health Preparedness at Columbia University.
It’s not just that we’re going to where the animals are; we’re also bringing them closer to us. Popular foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country. A strange illness killed Isaksen’s pets, and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea. “I don’t think it’s fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them,” says Isaksen.
“Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need changing,” says Peter Schantz. Monkey-pox may be the wake-up call. Researchers believe infected animals may infect their owners. We know very little about these new diseases. A new bug (病毒) may be kind at first. But it may develop into something harmful. Monkey-pox doesn’t look a major infectious disease. But it is not impossible to pass the disease from person to person.
56. We learn from Paragraph 1 that the pet sold at the shop may _________.
A. come from Columbia            B. prevent us from being infected
C. enjoy being with children         D. suffer from monkey-pox
57. Why did Isaksen advise people not to have foreign pets?
A. They attack human beings.         B. We need to study native animals.
C. They can’t live out of the rain forest.  D. We do not know much about them yet.
58. What does the phrase “the wake-up call” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A. a new disease           B. a clear warning   C. a dangerous animal     D. a morning call
59. The text suggests that in the future we _______.
A. may have to fight against more new diseases   B. may easily get infected by diseases from dogs
C. should not be allowed to have pets           D. should stop buying pets from Africa
60. The last paragraph means _________.
A. we should have laws to stop having pets at home 
B. wild animals shouldn’t adopted as pets
C. laws should be passed to avoid pets’ diseases spreading 
D. people with pets should be stayed at home

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box car in a goods yard in Atlantic City and landing on my head. Now I can dimly remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is. It would be wonderful to see again, but a calamity(大災(zāi)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 believe in life now. I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so deeply, otherwise. 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 a continuous series of adjustments to reality. In spite of the fact the adjustment is never easy, I had my parents and teachers to help. The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself. If I hadn't been able to do that, I would have collapsed 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. That is part of it. But I mean something bigger than that: an assurance that I am, despite imperfections, a real, positive person; that 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 most elementary things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was laughing at me and I was hurt. “I can't use this.” I said. “Take it with you，” he urged me, “and roll it around.” The 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.
All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them, one at a time. I had to learn my limitations. It was no good to try 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.
小題1:We can learn from the beginning of the passage that ________.
A．the author lost his sight because of a car crash
B．the author wouldn't love life if the calamity didn't happen
C．the calamity made the author appreciate what he had
D．the calamity strengthened the author's desire to see
小題2:What's the most difficult thing for the author?
A．How to adjust himself to reality
B．Building up assurance that he can find his place in life
C．Learning to manage his life alone
D．To find a special work that suits the author
小題3:For the author, the baseball and encouragement offered by the man ________.
A．hurt the author's feeling
B．made the author puzzled
C．directly led to the change of the author's career
D．inspired the author
小題4:According to the passage, the author ________.
A．set goals for himself but only invited failure most of the time
B．thought that nothing was impossible for him
C．was discouraged from trying something out of reach for fear of failure
D．suggested not trying something beyond one's ability at the beginning

It does not have to be January 1st to give yourself a chance to make the most out of your day — and your life. Every day is a new day and a fresh start to learn, grow, develop your strengths, heal yourself from past regrets or hurts, and move forward older and wiser. Every day gives you a chance to reinvent yourself, to fine-tune who you are, and build on lessons of what you have learned. It is never too late to change things that are not working in your life and switch gears, instead of thinking in the same old ways, hoping for a different outcome.
Be intelligent, be flexible, and keep and open mind to start each day anew! Flexibility is the key!
Ask yourself: How do you wake up each day? Do you start your day going already feeling pressured and rushed? Do you go through the morning routine without much thought at all, doing what you "have to do" to start your day?
How about starting each new day with a moment to stop, breathe and think of a positive intention for the day.
Think not just what you want to DO, but how you want to BE today?
Each day is a new beginning and a blank slate. How would you like to create your day? Think of it as a blank canvas — what would you like to paint on it. What can you create? If you wake up in a negative mindset, you are more likely to paint a dark picture throughout the day, and your canvas will not reflect hope, happiness and joy.
If you take each day to think positively, and have a positive intention for how you would like to create your day, how would your life be different? What positive outcome can reflect your positive intention?
What can daily positive intentions do for you? Every day you will give yourself the gift of an "attitude of gratitude."
Visualizing how you would like your day will help release positive energy from within you and you will attract more positive energy from those around you. Instead of spinning your wheels in an old way of thinking, each day is a chance to reframe and re-look at things in a different way.
You can experience each day an awe （敬畏）in the beauty and creation of the world — and the beauty of you who is in it!
You find yourself shifting from an "I can't mindset" to an "I can" mindset.
With a focus on positive intentions, you feel more empowered and more like a "victor" than a "victim."
You are more mindful of the present, and will be more likely to live fully in the present each moment of each day. After all, the past is a great place to visit, but you don't want to live there!
So how about starting each day taking a moment to think of a positive intention for the day? Each morning, write it down and reflect each evening on how you did!
Here are examples of Positive Intentions:
"Today I would like to replace my feelings of annoyance towards my co-worker to feelings of acceptance."
"I am looking forward today to focusing on what I am grateful for in my life, rather than what is missing, and express gratefulness to others."
"Today I want to slow my life down and take time to savor the moment, especially with my children".。
Using each day to recommit yourself to positive thinking and intention will help you create the life you want and that you deserve!
小題1:According to the writer, which is the most important?
A．changeableB．positiveC．forgettableD．a(chǎn)ctive
小題2:When you get up, what is the right way to start?
A．Just do as you do regularly
B．Brushing teeth and washing as quickly as possible
C．Stopping for a short while and planning some active things
D．Doing morning exercise to build up your body
小題3:Which of the followings is considered to be positive intention?
A．The boss told me to finish the task, so I have to hurry today
B．Mr. Smith treated me to dinner, so I’d like to send him a card.
C．I have finished all the tasks ,so I’m free today.
D．I didn’t sleep well last night, but it’s time to go to work..
小題4:What can daily intention do for you ,except______?
A．You can live fully
B．You will become mindful everyday
C．You will feel powerful
D．You can spend your day happily

It was clearly        to get out, but couldn’t see the way out was not up, but        and and out through the garage door. So the bird continued flapping its wings and bumping its little head        the ceiling.
I tried to terrify it out, but only succeeded in driving it into the        open space between the door and the ceiling. Then I tried to show the bird how to fly down a few feet         it could get outside, but that only seemed to        it more.
“Why don’t we just leave for a few minutes,” Anita        .“I’m sure he’ll figure it out eventually.”
We went back into the house, where we        to hear the ongoing struggle between the sparrow and the ceiling. Then suddenly, it was        and our uninvited guest was gone.
I’ve        that little sparrow through the years, and I’ve decided that birds are not different much from people. We think we were        to fly ever upward, and we don’t even consider the        that something good might happen if we just fly down a little bit. Once we figure out that we can make        without banging（碰）our heads against ceilings, we can usually save ourselves much        .

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：完形填空

In 1972, I returned to Miami Beach High School to speak to the drama class. Afterward I asked the drama teacher       any of my English teachers are still there. Irene Roberts, he tells me, is in the class        down the hall.
　　I was no one special in Miss Roberts’ class — just another student who did okay work. I don’t recall any one special bit of wisdom she passed on. Yet I cannot forget her        for language, for ideas and for her students. I        now, many years later, that she is the perfect example of a        teacher. I’d like to say something to her, I say, but I don’t want to        her from a class. Nonsense, he says, she’ll be        to see you.
　　The drama teacher       Miss Roberts into the hallway where stands this 32-year-old man she last saw at 18. “I’m Mark Medoff,” I tell her. “You were my 12th-grade English teacher in 1958.” She       her head to one side and looks at me, as if this angle might remember me in her       . And then, though armed with a message I want to        in many words, I can’t think up anything more memorable than this: “I want you to know,” I say, “you were        to me.”
　　And there in the hallway, this lovely woman, now nearing        age, this teacher who doesn’t remember me, begins to weep; and she encircles me in her arms.
　　        this moment, I begin to sense that everything I will ever know, everything I will ever pass to my students, is an inseparable part of a legacy(遺產(chǎn)) of our ancestors.
　　Irene Roberts holds me        in her arms and through her tears whispers        my cheek, “Thank you.” And then, with the briefest of looks into my forgotten face, she         back into her classroom,        to what she has done thousands of days through all the years of my       .
On reflection, maybe those were,       , just the right words to say to Irene Roberts. Maybe they are the very words I would like to speak to all those teachers through my life, the very words I would like spoken to me one day by some returning student: “I want you to know you were important to me.”
