Maybe you are facing an impossible situation. Maybe you have a habit 7. is driving your family crazy. Possibly you drink too much or don’t know how to control your credit card use. When you face such an impossible situation, don’t you want a quick fix and something to change immediately?

【解析】

試題分析：本文通過借用凱霍加河在以前污染非常嚴(yán)重，經(jīng)過多年的努力，艱苦的工作終于有了回報(bào)，河水變干凈了的事實(shí)告訴我們：當(dāng)你面對(duì)看起來不可能解決的事情時(shí)，要敢于想辦法慢慢解決，不能急躁，因?yàn)楹芏嘧兓际侵饾u發(fā)生的，需要很多努力，我們需要耐心一點(diǎn)。

1.was 考查動(dòng)詞過去時(shí)態(tài)和主謂一致。根據(jù)本段第一句In 1969, the pollution was terrible along the Cuyahoga River near Cleveland, Ohio.可知本段敘述的是過去發(fā)生的事情。the Cuyahoga River near Cleveland, Ohio在過去被污染地如此地嚴(yán)重，所以說過去沒有人能夠想象到這條河被清理干凈。又主語“It”為三單，故填was。

2.actually考查副詞用法。本句中使用副詞actually做狀語修飾謂語動(dòng)詞caught fire，actual是形容詞，不能在句中做狀語，通常只做定語或者表語修飾名詞。故填actually。

3.橫線后是形容詞最高級(jí)most outstanding，形容詞最高級(jí)前要加the,故填the。

4.or 考查連詞。從語境可知這條河流的改變不是幾天或者幾個(gè)月的事情。本句中的or“或者”表示選擇的意思。

5.to reduce考查固定句式。固定句式：It takes sb st to do sth某人做某事花了多少時(shí)間；句中的不定式to reduce the industrial pollution and clean the water是句子真正的主語。前面的it是形式主語。故填to reduce。

6.橫線后面有than，說明橫線上應(yīng)該使用比較級(jí)的形式。故填cleaner。

7.which / that 考查定語從句。本句是一個(gè)定語從句，先行詞是a habit，定語從句中使用關(guān)系代詞that/which指代先行詞，在句做主語，不能省略。故填which / that。

8.考查形容詞不同形式用法。小技巧：凡是－ed結(jié)尾的都是形容人的，表示“人感到……”，－ing結(jié)尾都是形容物的，表示“令人感到……”。此處修飾“stories 故事”，所以要用amazing。故填amazing。

9.　考查名詞復(fù)數(shù)。橫線后面是系動(dòng)詞are，說明橫線處主語應(yīng)該是一個(gè)復(fù)數(shù)形式的名詞，所以用changes。故填changes。change既可以作名詞也可以作動(dòng)詞，在此為名詞。

10.橫線前面有系動(dòng)詞be，說明此處應(yīng)用形容詞，本句是一個(gè)祈使句be patient耐心一點(diǎn)。patient形容詞，意為“耐心的”； patience名詞，意為“耐心”。故填patient。

Every time Lionel Messi breaks a record, it seems appropriate to compare him to the legends that came before him.

In 2012, he rewrote soccer history on multiple occasions, and his latest record came when he scored his 86th goal of the calendar year, breaking Gerd Muller’s previous mark, before wrapping up the year with 91 goals.

All statistics indicate that Messi is currently the best player in the world, and that he will go down in history as the top footballer of his generation. But when he is judged against all-time greats like Pele and Diego Maradona, he still has work to do.

We don’t know whether the Barcelona striker will have another year in which he records more than 90 goals, but he must still sustain(維持)a similar level of production for the next several seasons.

Messi has already taken part in three of Barcelona’s victorious Champions League(冠軍聯(lián)賽)campaigns, and he played an important role in two of them. In order to firmly establish himself as the greatest club football player in history, he must win the tournament a few more times.

Most importantly, the Argentine(阿根廷人)needs to win on the international stage. Regardless of what Messi does for Barcelona, his legacy will be incomplete if he cannot win the World Cup with Argentina.

Both Pele and Maradona led their countries to the top of international soccer during their careers, and Messi’s performances for his country have been severely disappointing.

While he was still a teenager in 2006-and his lackluster(平淡的)showing is excusable due to his youth-he cannot brush off the disappointment that characterized Argentina’s performance in 2010.

But the 4-0 loss to Germany in the 2010 World Cup Quarter Final seems to have sparked Messi. He scored 12 times for Argentina last year, and the next World Cup could finally be Messi’s breakout performance in blue and white stripes.

Due to all of his accomplishments, it is easy to forget that the extraordinary footballer is just 25 years old. If he can avoid injury or lengthy slumps(低潮狀態(tài))until his speed and skills start to decline due to age, he may continue to break records and win trophies.

1.What will Messi have to do in order to be complete in his soccer career?

A. He must win the World Cup with Argentina.

B. He must win the tournament a few more times.

C. He must defeat Pele and Maradona.

D. He must avoid injury or lengthy slumps.

2.How was Messi’s performance in 2010 World Cup?

A. Excellent. B. Inspiring.

C. Disappointing. D. Normal.

3.What can we infer from the passage?

A. Messi has firmly established himself as the greatest club soccer player in history.

B. Messi will try his best to win the next World Cup with Argentina.

C. Messi can avoid injury and lengthy slumps to break records and win trophies.

D. Pele and Maradona led their countries to the top of international soccer during their careers.

4.What is the best title of the passage?

A. Lionel Messi, the Best Soccer Player of All Time

B. Lionel Messi, the Greatest Soccer Player in History

C. Barcelona and Lionel Messi

D. World Cup and Lionel Messi

Does handwriting matter? Not very much, according to many educators. However, scientists say it is far too soon to declare handwriting is not important. New evidence suggests that the link between handwriting and educational development is deep.

Children not only learn to read more quickly when they first learn to write by hand, but they are also better able to create ideas and remember information. In other words, it’s not only what we write that matters — but how.

A study led by Karin James, a psychologist at Indiana University, gave support to that view. A group of children, who had not learned to read and write, were offered a letter or a shape on a card and asked to copy it in one of three ways: draw the image on a page but with a dotted outline（虛線）, draw it on a piece of blank white paper, or type it on a computer. Then the researchers put the children in a brain scanner and showed them the image again.

It was found that when children had drawn a letter freehand without a dotted outline or a computer, the activity in three areas of the brain were increased. These three areas work actively in adults when they read and write. By contrast, children who chose the other two ways showed no such effect. Dr. James attributes the differences to the process of free handwriting: Not only must we first plan and take action in a way but we are also likely to produce a result that is variable. Those are not necessary when we have an outline.

It’s time for educators to change their mind and pay more attention to children’s handwriting.

1.What do scientists mean by saying “it is far too soon to declare handwriting is not important”?

A. Handwriting is not very important to children.

B. Handwriting should not be ignored at present.

C. Handwriting has nothing to do with education.

D. Handwriting can not be learned in a short time.

2.Which is NOT the children’s task in the experiment?

A. Copy the image on a page but with a dotted outline.

B. Draw the image on a piece of blank white paper.

C. Put a brain scanner and show the image again.

D. Type the image directly on a computer.

3.What does “that view” in Para. 3 refer to?

A. How we write is as important as what we write.

B. A group of students should know what to write.

C. Children create ideas and remember information.

D. Children read quickly when they write by hand.

4.According to the passage, the author obviously _______ giving up handwriting.

A. is for B. doesn’t care about

C. is responsible for D. is against

As is known, it is a respectful job to be a teacher serving students heart and soul. And most people also compare a teacher to a gardener who takes great care of various plants. Ever since my high school days, my heart has been set on becoming a teacher. I am now studying at a teacher’s college, and I am making great efforts to study, because there are so many things to learn about education. But I thoroughly enjoy my studies, and every day I am amazed at the great influence education has on the human soul.

I think it is only natural that I have always aspired to become a teacher because my father and his father were also teachers. My father is now retired, following a brilliant career, and it has always been his dream to have me, his only son, follow in his footsteps. Although it sounds like my father’s dream that I will become a teacher, it is also my dream and I am quite willing to realize the dream. I still have one more year to go at university, and after I graduate, I will go to the western part of China to become a teacher at a village school.

I understand a teacher’s job will not make me a millionaire, but it is not the prospect of making a lot of money that has propelled my ambition to become a teacher. Rather, it is my sincere desire to assume a responsible role in society, and make as many people well—educated as possible through my hard endeavors. Education plays an essential and important role in our society. If everyone can receive a good education, it will not only do good to our country but also benefit individuals’ lives.

Ten years from now, therefore, I hope to be established as an excellent teacher with hundreds of thousands of students who have benefited from me and carry on the family tradition with efficiency and honour.

Rodd and Todd were lucky children chosen to see Santa Claus himself up at the North Pole. Some elves(精靈) come in and said, "Santa Claus is very busy. You'll only be able to see him for a short while, so make the most of it."

Santa Claus appeared, carrying all the toys the two boys had ever wanted. While Todd ran to hug Santa Claus, Rodd went over to the bicycle he had always dreamed of having. Santa was only there for a few seconds, and disappeared before Rodd had even looked at him. He cried and complained, but within a few hours the two boys had been returned to their homes.

From that day on, every time Rodd saw a toy he felt the excitement of receiving a present, but he would instantly look around to see what else of importance he was missing. And in this way, Rodd helped those who had nothing, giving love to those who almost never received it, and putting smiles on the faces of the unhappy. All by himself, he managed to change the atmosphere of his town, and no one could know him without being grateful to him.

One Christmas, while he was sleeping, he felt someone pulling his leg. Rodd opened his eyes and saw the long white beard and the soft red suit. "Forgive me. I didn't know how to choose what was most important," said Rodd. But Santa Claus answered with a smile. "I chose to spend some time with the best boy in the world, just before I leave you the great gift you've earned for yourself. Thank you!” And the next morning, there were no presents under the Christmas tree. That Christmas, the gift had been so big that it couldn't fit down the chimney; the only place it could fit was in Rodd's heart.

科目：高中英語 來源：2015屆北京市海淀區(qū)高三上期中練習(xí)英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Cheerleading is the fastest growing girls' sport, yet more than half of Americans do not believe it is a sport. Actually, competitive cheerleading is a sport.

A sport is a “physical activity against/with an opponent, governed by rules and conditions under which a winner is declared, and the primary purpose of the competition is a comparison of the relative skills of the participants. "Because cheerleading follows these guidelines, it is a sport.

Competitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activities. Like gymnasts, cheerleaders must learn to tumble (翻滾) . They perform lifts and tosses. This is where the "flied' are thrown in the air, held by "bases" in different positions that require strength and cooperation with other teammates.

Just as basketball and football have guidelines for competitive play, so does competitive cheerleading. The whole routine has to be completed in less than 3 minutes and 15 seconds and the cheerleaders are required to stay within a certain area.

Competitive cheerleaders' goal is to be the best. Just like gymnasts, they are awarded points for difficulty, creativity and sharpness. The more difficult a mount, the sharper the motions, the better the score. Cheerleading is a team sport so without cooperation, first place is out of reach.

Cheerleading is the number-one cause of serious sports injuries to women. Emergency room visits for cheerleading are five times the number of those for any other sport, partially because they do not wear protective gear. While many athletes are equipped with hip pads or helmets, smiling cheerleaders are tossed into the air and spiral down into the arms of trusted teammates. The fliersmust remain tight at all times so that their bases can catch them safely. Also, because cheerleading is not yet recognized as a sport by many schools, neither proper matting nor high enough ceilings are provided to ensure safety. Instead, the girls use whatever space is available. More recognition of competitive cheerleading as a sport would decrease the number of injuries.

So why do many Americans not think cheerleading is a sport? Some people argue that cheerleaders are just "flirts in skirts" with their only job to entertain the crowd, but cheerleaders today work just as hard as other athletes.

Hopefully, cheerleading will become as well-known a sport as football and basketball, and even appear in the Olympics since cheerleaders are just as athletic and physically fit as those involved in the more accepted sports.

1.What does the underlined word "bases" in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Strength and cooperation.

B. Lifts and tosses.

C. Supporting teammates.

D. Physical activities

2.Gymnasts are mentioned in the passage to _

A. explain the dangers of cheerleading

B. show their similarities with cheerleaders

C. suggest cheerleaders learn to do gymnastics

D. present the guidelines of gymnastic movements

3.It can be learned from the passage that cheerleading

A. is a good sport for all people

B. lacks necessary guidelines to follow

C. is more than a form of entertainment

D. enjoys greater popularity than other sports

4.This passage is written mainly to

A attract more girls to cheerleading

B draw people's attention to cheerleading

C call for more recognition of competitive cheerleading as a sport

D criticize some Americans who do not think cheerleading as a sport
