My father and I disagreed about curfew (晚間在家的時(shí)間). He'd say I was to be in by 9：30 on weekdays, and 11：00 on weekends, no exceptions without my first asking. I told him it made me ____ like a junior­high kid. He explained that while a curfew ____ sound like a restriction, it's really about people looking out for one another.

The very next Friday after that pretty heated ___， my dad and I had tickets to see our town's professional football game. On that day he was ____ to a nearby city to meet with some major clients and ____ me that his getting home and our leaving for the game would be tight.

To make sure we could ____ off the moment he walked in, I got everything prepared. When a half hour had passed from the time he said he'd be home, I understood that he was a little ____. But then, nearly a whole hour passed. I was getting ____. We were going to miss the kick­off! And why hadn't he ____ me and let me know he was going to be really late? As I anxiously ____ the floor, another half hour passed. That's when I got really angry. How inconsiderate of my father! Now we were going to ____ the whole game! When yet another half hour passed, my anger turned to ____. What if something terrible had happened to my dad, like he had a heart attack or had been in an accident, or something? I began to really ____. I'd already called his cellphone about ten times, but no ____.

I was beside myself, assuming the worst had happened.

Finally, the phone rang, and my dad said ____， “Son, I'm so sorry about the game, but…there was a terrible accident…on the freeway coming home, and I ____ to help… and ended up going to the hospital. I ____ my cellphone in the car, so I couldn't call until now.”

I was so relieved to hear from my father and to ____ that he was safe that I actually cried. That was ____ I “got” the importance of a curfew: Checking in! It's about knowing that someone you love is ____. It was one more proof of my father's loving me as much as he does.

文章大意：父親規(guī)定我在平時(shí)晚上9點(diǎn)30分前回家，周末晚上11點(diǎn)前回家。我對此一直不同意，直到有一次發(fā)生的一件事讓我明白了一個(gè)道理。父親的規(guī)定其實(shí)是為了我的安全出發(fā)而設(shè)立的。父親是愛我的。

1.B　我告訴父親這項(xiàng)規(guī)定讓我“感到”自己像初中的學(xué)生。feel like“感到像……”。

2.2】A　父親解釋說晚間在家的時(shí)間“可能”像是限制，但是它其實(shí)是人們互相照顧。might表示推測，意為“可能”。

3.3】D　經(jīng)過熱烈的思想“交流”后的那個(gè)周五晚上，父親和我有票去看本鎮(zhèn)的職業(yè)足球賽。exchange“交流，交換”；speech“演講”；match“比賽”；description“描寫，描述”。

4.4】B　那一天，父親“駕車”到附近的城市去會見一些主要客戶。drive“駕車”；cycle“騎自行車”；fly“飛”；walk“走”。

5.5】C　父親“告訴”我他回家我們再去看球賽的話，時(shí)間會很緊。inform“告訴，通知”；allow“允許”；advise“建議”；order“命令”。

6.6】D　為了保證他一來我們能立刻“出發(fā)”，我們把一切事情都準(zhǔn)備好了。move off“出發(fā)”；pay off“付清，奏效，成功”；hold off“拖延，抵抗， 抗拒”；cut off“切斷，使隔絕”。

7.7】A　他說好回家的時(shí)間過了半個(gè)小時(shí)后，我知道他會“遲到”。late“遲到”；lazy“懶惰”；forgetful“健忘的，好忘事的”；careless“粗心的”。

8.8】A　然后，一個(gè)小時(shí)過去了。我越來越“心煩”了。upset“心煩的”；sorry“抱歉的”；rude“粗心的”；puzzled“困惑的”。

9.9】C　我們會誤了足球賽了。為什么他不“打電話”告訴我他會遲到呢？phone“打電話”；warn“警告”；signal“向……發(fā)信號，用動作(手勢)示意”；show“展示”。

10.0】B　當(dāng)我焦急地在地上“踱步”時(shí)，半個(gè)小時(shí)又過去了。pace“踱步，走來走去”；hit“擊打”；clear“清除”；measure“衡量”。

12.2】D　當(dāng)又過去了半個(gè)小時(shí)后，我的憤怒變成了“(擔(dān)心)害怕”。后文緊接著說了擔(dān)心：心臟病發(fā)作還是出了意外。fear“害怕”；sadness“悲傷”；surprise“吃驚”；doubt“懷疑”。

13.3】B　此處選詞與上題一脈相承，所以選worry“擔(dān)心”。envy“嫉妒”；regret“后悔”；cry“哭泣”。

14.4】D　我給他打了約十次電話，但是父親沒“接電話”。answer“答復(fù)，接電話”；excuse“借口”；way“方法”；time“時(shí)間”。

15.5】C　最終，電話響了，父親“上氣不接下氣地”說“……”。由后文的內(nèi)容還有標(biāo)點(diǎn)可知，此處選breathlessly，意為“上氣不接下氣地”。strangely“奇怪地”；casually“偶然地，無意地，漫不經(jīng)心地”；angrily“生氣地”。

科目：高中英語 來源：2015年高考人教版選修（6）一輪測試英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Some students get so nervous before a test; they do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock has studied these highly anxious test­takers.

Sian Beilock: “They start worrying about the consequences. They might even start worrying about whether this exam is going to prevent them from getting into the college they want. And when we worry，it actually uses up attention and memory resources. I talk about it as your cognitive horsepower that you could otherwise be using to focus on the exam.”

Professor Beilock and another researcher，Gerardo Ramirez，have developed a possible solution. Just before an exam，highly anxious test­takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test.

Sian Beilock: “What we think happens is when students put it down on paper，they think about the worst that could happen and they reappraise the situation. They might realize it's not as bad as they might think it was before and，in essence(本質(zhì)上)，it prevents these thoughts from popping up when they're actually taking a test.”

The researchers tested the idea on a group of twenty anxious college students. They gave them two short math tests. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test.

The researchers added to the pressure. They told the students that those who did well on the second test would get money. They also told them that their performance would affect other students as part of a team effort.

Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of twelve percent worse on the second test. But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of five percent.

Next, the researchers used younger students in a biology class. They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the test.

Prefessor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of B＋，compared to a B－ for those who did not.

Sian Beilock: “What we showed is that for students who are highly test­anxious，who'd done our writing intervention(排解)，all of a sudden there was no relationship between test anxiety and performance. Those students most likely to worry were performing just as well as their classmates who don't normally get nervous in these testing situations.”

But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam or presentation? Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance.

1.Which of the following is TRUE?

A．The result in the math test agrees with that in the biology test.

B．In the first math test, students who sat quietly performed better.

C．In the second math test, students who wrote about their feelings did worse.

D．Some college students are highly anxious test­takers while others are not in the tests.

2.What may happen if students have the problem of test anxiety?

A．Test anxiety is sure to cause students to fail the test.

B．Test anxiety can improve students' performance to some degree.

C．Students' attention and memory resources run out when worried.

D．Students may not be admitted into their favorite college if worried.

3.The result of the research suggests that ________.

A．proper amount of burden may turn out to be a good thing

B．facing the fears bravely may help one to achieve more

C．a(chǎn)voiding facing the problem may contribute to relaxation

D．taking no action before difficulty may result in success

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A．It is important for students to overcome test anxiety.

B．Anxious students overcome test anxiety by writing down fears.

C．It is a common practice for students being worried before a test.

D．Being worried before tests does harm to students' performance.

Sweetest Day in America is always the third Saturday in October. This holiday is much more important in some regions than in others (Detroit, Cleveland and Buffalo being the biggest Sweetest Day cities). It is a holiday that is gaining in popularity every year throughout the country.

Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in October as a day to make someone happy. It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick, aged, and orphaned, but also friends, relatives and associates whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed.

Over 60 years ago, a man in Cleveland, believing that the city's orphans and shut­ins (臥病在床的人) too often felt forgotten and neglected, thought of the idea of showing them that they were remembered. He did this through the distribution of small gifts. With the help of his friends and neighbors, he distributed these small remembrances on a Saturday in October. During the years that followed, other Clevelanders began to participate in the celebration ceremony, which came to be called “Sweetest Day”. In time, the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the underprivileged was broadened to include everyone, and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small remembrance. And soon the idea spread to other cities all over the country.

Sweetest Day is not based on any single group's religious affection or on a family relationship. It is a reminder that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it meaning.

Because for many people remembering takes the form of gift­giving, Sweetest Day offers us the opportunity to show others that we care, in a practical way.

1.We can learn from the first paragraph that Sweetest Day is ________.

A．sometimes the third Saturday in October

B．hardly celebrated in Detroit

C．of equal importance in every part of the USA

D．getting increasingly popular in the USA

2.Sweetest Day was intended to remember ________.

A．the young and disabled

B．friends and relatives

C．orphans and shut­ins

D．the sick and aged

3.We can infer from the passage that the birthplace of Sweetest Day is ________.

A．Detroit　　　　 　　　B．Cleveland

C．Buffalo D．Washington

4.Now on Sweetest Day gifts are given to those ________.

A．we care B．we admire

C．in need of help D．in trouble

科目：高中英語 來源：2015屆黑龍江省高二下學(xué)期四月月考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Is it ever a good idea admitting a teenager to carry a credit card?

My kids watch closely as I swipe the card through the register. They’ve seen me do it hundreds, thousands of times. Cool. They are itching to swipe it through the machine themselves. When we walk out of the store with our groceries or pet food, or whatever, it’s almost as though money has not changed hands, painless, easy.

So it shouldn’t be shocking to discover that teenagers are becoming card carrying consumers in their own right. The question is, should they?

While some argue it’s best to teach kids how to use a credit card while still living under the family roof, not everyone agrees. Dave Ramsey, financial expert says getting credit card for your teenager is actually “an excellent way to teach him or her to be financially irresponsible.”

Now parents are required to co-sign on credit cards for children under 21. “If their name is on the credit card, then the parent may say, Hey, my name is on this. Don’t get me into trouble,” says Mary Beth Pinto, a marketing professor. “When parents were the co-obligors (共同借貸人), the children caused less debt. If the parents are the co-obligors, the tendency is that the parents were explaining how to use the cards.” Still, Pinto believes parents should start the process much earlier. “Yes, there has to be teaching going on and it has to start when they’re younger. You’re not going to get rid of credit cards. They are here to stay. You have to have them. You can’t fight progress,” Pinto said.

Ramsey, however, disagrees. “Throwing teens into a pool of (credit) sharks is a sure way to guarantee a life-time of heartache.” he said, “You can make online purchases and rent a car with a credit card. Of course, you must have money in your bank account before you can make a purchase with a credit card. But paying for things with money is what you are supposed to do.”

1.The author mentioned her experience in Para 2 mainly to _____.

A. prove the convenience of using credit cards

B. tell what impression credit cards leave on kids

C. give advice on using credit cards wisely

D. explain the pleasure credit cards bring to customers

2.The underlined word “itching” in Para 2 can be replaced by _____.

A. eager B. afraid C. embarrassed D. thankful

3.What’s Ramsey’s attitude towards teens’ using credit cards?

A. He feels it is worth a try.

B. He is very supportive.

C. He is strongly against it.

D. He considers it as a pleasant experience.

4.Pinto will most likely agree that _____.

A. parents should let teens own their credit cards earlier

B. you shouldn’t be in control of credit cards

C. it is never good for anyone to get a credit card

D. learning to use credit cards is practical
