When I come across a good article in reading newspapers, I often want to cut and keep it. But just as I am about to do so I find the article on the   1   side is as much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to   2   in good health, or   3   about how to behave and conduct oneself in society. If I cut the front article, the opposite one is likely to   4   damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text   5   the title. Therefore, the scissors（剪刀）would

   6   before they start,   7   halfway done when I find out the   8   result.

　　Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time, both worth your   9   . You can only take up one of them, the other has to wait or be   10   up. But you know the future is unpredictable（不可預料）—the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left   11   . Thus you are   12   in a difficult position and feel sad. How   13   that nice chances and brilliant ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life   14   greatly on your preference of one choice to the other.

　　In fact that is what   15   is like: we are often   16   with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both desirable like a newspaper cutting. It often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only   17   we get into another. The   18   may be more important than the latter and give rise to a divided mind. I   19   remember a philosopher’s remarks: “When one door shuts, another opens in life.” So a casual（不經(jīng)意）  20   may not be a bad one.

答案：D;B;A;A;C;D;A;B;C;A;D;C;B;B;D;A;B;D;A;C
解析：

1．D 因為報紙兩面都有內(nèi)容，當作者想剪下一篇好文章時，卻發(fā)現(xiàn)報紙的另一面的內(nèi)容也很有趣。此處意為報紙的正反面。

　　2．B keep in good health=keep healthy，保持健康。

　　3．A 選擇連詞or后advice與前面的the way并列，意為：在社交中規(guī)范自己的建議。

　　4．A reduce減少；prevent阻止；cause引起；suffer遭受。

　　5．C 譯文：剪去了文章的一半內(nèi)容，或者使文章缺失了標題。

　　6．D use使用；handle處理；prepare準備；stay停滯。

　　7．A but但是；so所以；for為了；or否則。

　　8．B satisfying令人滿意的；surprising令人奇怪的；impossible不可能的；regretful遺憾的，后悔的。譯文：因此，剪刀們在開始工作之前要停留片刻，否則剪到了一半的時候會發(fā)現(xiàn)令人遺憾的結(jié)果。

　　9．C courage勇氣；strength力量；patience耐心；attention注意。

　　10．A hold up堵塞；make up化妝；pick up拾起，摘下；give up放棄。譯文：你只能選擇其一，另一個得稍后去注意或者被放棄。

　　11．D 根據(jù)前文the other has to wait作進一步延伸，left behind為丟在后面。譯文：但是你要知道，未來是不可預料的——不斷變化的局勢可能不允許你把它丟在后面。

　　12．C filled充滿的；attracted吸引；struck撞。此處為caught in a difficult position陷入困境。

　　13．B how come that……句型，表示怎么會?……怎么能?

　　14．B 此句是對前句how comes that nice chances and brilliant ideas should gather around all at once?的問句。譯文：如果你的喜好有巨大的改變，這個情況才會發(fā)生。

　　15．D 此空前句有提示：your life changes greatly，what life is like，生命的真諦。16．A sb．B e faced with sth．面對……，此句轉(zhuǎn)為總結(jié)句：我們經(jīng)常面對著一件事物的兩面作出選擇，就像報紙一樣。其他選項顯然不符合此語境。be supplied with由……提供；be connected with與……相聯(lián)系；be fixed with用……安裝。

　　17．B 此處根據(jù)語境：我們的精力中只有從一件事物中解脫以后，才可能投入到另一件事情上。介詞after在6以后，先后順序很清楚以后即不難選出。

　　18．D 此處former與后面的latter相對應。譯文：選擇的前者比后者更重要。

　　19．A still表示仍然。譯為：我還記得一句諺語。其他選項：因為前文未提及其他諺語，所以用also不合適。almost語氣弱，無說服力，舍去。

　　20．C 此句為全文的中心作進一步闡述，末尾點題。全文皆圍繞選擇，故choice合適。treatment對待；action行為，行動；remark言論，諺語。

My father was 44 and knew he wasn’t　going to male it to 45. He wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help me for  the  rest  of my life.
Since the day 1 was 12 and first read his letter, some of his words have lived in my
beart. One it aways times out. “Right now, you are pretending to be a time-killer. But I know that one hay, you will do something great that will set you among the very best.” Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself. “You will do something great.” He didn’t know what that would be, and neither did I, but at times in my life when I’ve felt proud of myself, I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask. “Is this what you were talking about, Dad?

But trust my That elic will be more comlece, that love will be more real, and their belief in the nelces whi be greater if you write the words on their hearts; “Don’t worry; you’ll do something great.” Not having that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back.

When I opened my e-mail the other day, a pretty woman named Rachel appeared on my computer screen. She greeted me by name and started talking enthusiastically. Every now and then she stopped to smile at me or blow a kiss. She was reading to me an e-mail from my brother, and a lot of it was about his getting the phone company to give him a high="speed" Internet connection. It was pretty cool.
Rachel was there thanks to a new technology called Facemail. Facemail lets you send an e-mail that gets read to the receiver by an attractive male or female form or by a clown. The software, which is free, can be downloaded at www. Facemail.com.
Facemail faces are lifelike, and they copy emotions based on the ones that you put in your text. For example, type in X, and Rachel blows a kiss.
Life FX, the company that develops the Facemail is sure there are broad business uses. The reason e-business is not popular, the company says, is that buying over the Internet lacks the human touch. But what if you went to the Nike website and Michael Jordan greeted you by name, waited on you and personally closed the sale? And the company is talking with Whirlpool about using the technology in a computer screen on a fridge. Then if Mom can’t be home when the kids get back from school, she can leave a note with voice and image telling them what there is to eat.
Facemail could get hot fast. Personally, I’m a fan. But Facemail should be used with words in an e-mail and add angry emotions when you’ve got a psycho-mail.

科目：高中英語 來源：2012屆遼寧省葫蘆島市五校協(xié)作體高三8月模擬考試英語卷 題型：填空題

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, and you are speaking quite fluently. _ _【小題1】
First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. The most important thing is to listen as often as possible. _【小題2】  The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia.com. The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.
Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated （受阻）by limited understanding. __【小題3】__
Here is some of the advice I give my students:
●Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.
●Stay relaxed when you do not understand, and try listening to the material for more times.
● Do not translate everything into your native language.
●__【小題4】___ Don’t concentrate on details before you have understood the main ideas.
● Listen to something you enjoy.
I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when I didn’t understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. This method usually resulted in confusion.  【小題5】 Firstly, translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I didn’t pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said.

A．But you can’t follow a native English speaker at all!
B．What should you do?
C．But listening is a problem for most of the beginners!
D．However, after several weeks, I got used to the new environment in Germany.
E. So, what you need to do is to find listening resources.
F. Then, after the first six months, I discovered two extremely important facts.
G.  Listen for the general idea of the conversation.

閱讀理解。
     When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was badly crippled (跛腳),
and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare and I would be
ashamed of the unwanted attention. If ever noticed or bothered, he never let on.
     It was difficult to walk together-and because of that, we didn't say much as we went along. But as we
started out, he always said, "You set the pace. I will try to follow you."
     Our usual walk was to or from the subway, which was how he got to work. He went to work even in
bad weather. He almost never missed a day, and would make it to the office even if others could not. It was
a matter of pride for him.
     When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk, even with help...Such times
my sister or I would pull him through the streets of Brooklyn, N. Y., on a child's sleigh to the subway entrance.
Once there, he would try to grasp handrail until he reached the lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept
ice free. In Manhattan the subway station was the basement of his office building, and he would not have to
go outside again until we met him in Brooklyn on his way home.
     When I think of it now, I am surprised at how much courage it must have taken for a grown man to suffer
from shame and disability. And I am also surprised at how he did it-without bitterness or complaint.
     He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able. What he looked for in others was a "good heart", and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him.
     Now that I am older, I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people, even though I still don't
know exactly what a "good heart" is. But I know the times I don't have one myself.
     He has been away for many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my reluctance to
be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how unworthy I
was, how I regretted it. I think of him when I com- plain about my troubles, when I am envious of another's
good for-tune, when I don't have a "good heart".
1. How did the man treat his father when he was young?
A. He helped his father happily.
B. He never helped his father.
C. He helped his father, but not very happily.
D. He only helped his father take a walk after supper.
2. As a disabled man, his father ____. 
A. didn't work very hard
B. didn't go to work from time to time
C. hated those who had good fortune
D. was happy and satisfied, and never lost hope
3.What does the underlined word "reluctance" mean in the article? It means ____.
A. anger
B. sadness
C. happiness
D. unwillingness
4. How did the father get to work usually?
A. By subway.
B. By bus.
C. By wheelchair.
D. By bike.
