14．Norm lives in a rural area some distance from the nearest city and a much longer distance from the nearest big hospital so when his wife got cancer several years ago Norm was faced with a four and a half hour drive to where she could be treated．That meant lots of expense for meals，fuel，hotels and so on but in the end the cancer took his wife anyway．
Norm was obviously very stricken by his wife's passing but he was also very angry because he realized that other people were facing the same sorts of hardships．He wanted to do something but he didn't want to give money to the charities（慈善機構(gòu)）that support cancer research because he didn't know how much of it would actually get to the researchers．What he did was start to hold parties．
About every three weeks on Saturday evenings there is a party in Norm's garden．Neighbours，friends and relatives come and bring snacks and drinks；many bring instruments，there is music and lancing and at some point during the evening Norm tells about a family he has found who are having difficulties meeting the cost of supporting a cancer patient undergoing treatment far from home．Then a honey-pail is passed around and the money collected，every cent of it，goes directly to that family．
Norm's passion to help the families of other cancer patients was born out of his grief but Norm's personal loss has resulted in an act of kindness that honours the memory of the wife he has lost．He makes the world a better place．

24．What do we know about Norm's wife？C
A．She died for lack of money．   
B．She worked in a distant hospital．
C．She lost the battle against cancer．
D．She took good care of her family．
25．How does Norm help others？D
A．By giving money to charities．    
B．By supporting cancer researchers．
C．By telling stories to his friends．
D．By raising money through parties．
26．At Norm's party，the"honey-pail"is used to containD．
A．snacks    B．drinks    
C．honey     D．money
27．Through what he does，Norm probably wants toA．
A．remember his wife    
B．hide his anger
C．regain his personal loss 
D．change the world．

分析 本文屬于記敘文，介紹了Norm的妻子因患癌癥治療無效死亡，使他認(rèn)識到世界上有很多人受癌癥困擾，想要幫助他們但是不想直接捐錢到慈善機構(gòu)，因此決定在家中舉辦聚會為其他癌癥患者籌集治療所用資金的故事．

解答 24．C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．第一段最后 but in the end the cancer took his wife anyway可以知道他的妻子與癌癥的斗爭輸了．故選C
25．D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．由第二段可知Norm不知道慈善的錢最終會不會到患者手中，因此他自己舉辦派對為癌癥患者籌集資金What he did was start to hold parties．故選D
26．D 推理判斷題．Then a honey-pail is passed around and the money collected，every cent of it，goes directly to that family．由這句話可知 honey-pail 是籌集錢用得，并且籌到的錢可以直接交到癌癥家庭手中．故選D
27．A 推理判斷題．文中寫Norm因為他的妻子去世，因而想到要幫助那些得了癌癥的病人，想讓這個世界變得更美好，因此他是在借這個懷念自己的妻子．故選A

點評 考點：考察記敘文閱讀，考查學(xué)生對文中細(xì)節(jié)理解以及根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容所作出的推斷推斷答案

Are Sweeteners （甜味劑） Safe and Healthy？
For many of us，the relationship we have with sugar is love at first taste，and that love usually lasts a lifetime．But what price do we have to pay for this truly addictive，sugary love？Type 2 diabetes （糖尿�。�？Heavier bodies？Raised blood sugar levels？Or even（41）Gteeth？

3．After a terrible electrical accident，which caused him to become both blind and deaf，the whole world became completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years．The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life．His family，especially his wife，did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live．
One hot summer afternoon，he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once．He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet，but he was struck by the lightning．Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree．He was trembling badly，but when he opened his eyes，he could hardly believe what he saw：a plough and a wall．When Mrs．Edwards came running up to him，shouting to their neighbors to call for help，he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years．
The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread，and many doctors came to examine him．Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning．However，none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened．The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that，since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock，perhaps，the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock．

科目：高中英語 來源：2016-2017學(xué)年山東省煙臺市高一下學(xué)期期中考試英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

I am not a girl who will scream “Hello” across the street if I see someone familiar, nor will I meet with a complete stranger and begin a conversation. Instead, I will just laugh lightly. I would rather the other person spoke while I listen attentively. I can’t face the fact that I’m such a girl.

After a week---long vacation, we the tenth grade students returned to school. I reached the center of the hallway where my friend was waiting for me. Coming across a bulletin(公告), I saw some letters—Poetry Slam(詩歌朗誦賽). I told my friend how interesting the event sounded. I had heard of the event before, but I knew I couldn’t do it alone. Soon my friend and I , along with twenty other brave ones, planned to take part in the poetry slam.

When the day finally arrived, I still thought I couldn’t do this. As the lights dimmed(變暗), students all sat down. I crossed my arms over my chest as my feet shook. Poets, seated in the first two rows, all held their heads high and were practicing words for he poetry slam.

“Next is Katrina with Unspoken.” Shocked back into reality, I couldn’t move. I had to gather courage and remember I had chosen what to say, how to say it, and most importantly why I was saying it.

Taking a deep breath and looking at an unfamiliar crowd, I began. “Words can’t replace fear. One can’t live with sentences alone.” Words began jumping into the minds of others.

That was my voice jumping into the ears of those who cared. Yes, I spoke and they finally listened-there is no greater reward than pouring your heart out to those who will gently hold it. Slowly but surely, my nerves turned into courage. From now on I can refer to myself as a shy, but not so quiet, girl.

1.From Paragraph 1 we can know that the author is ________.

A. brave B. smart

C. shy D. lonely

2.Why did the author go to the center of the hallway?

A. To meet her friend

B. To look at the bulletin

C. To join in the poetry slam

D. To tell her friend of the poetry slam

3.How did the author feel at the beginning of the poetry slam?

A. Hopeful B. Nervous

C. Excited D. Confident

4.What can we conclude from the passage?

A. The author is crazy about poetry

B. The audience praised her highly

C. No rewards were offered to the winners

D. The author changed a lot after the poetry slam
