A month went by in this manner , but a month was all I could bear .
The memory of Marguerite accompanied me wherever I went . I had loved that woman --- still loved her --- too much for her suddenly to mean nothing to me . Whatever feelings I might have for her now , I had to see her again . At once .

I knew Marguerite . Meeting me so unexpectedly must have thrown her into a state of great confusion . Probably , she had heard of my departure which had set her mind at rest as to the consequences of our sudden parting . But , seeing me back and coming face to face with me , pale as I was , she had sensed that my return had a purpose , and must have wondered what was going to happen .
If , when I saw her again , Marguerite had been unhappy ; if , in taking my revenge (復(fù)仇), there had also been some way of helping her , then I might well have forgiven her , and would certainly never have dreamed of doing her any harm . But when I saw her again , she was happy , at least on the surface . Another man had ensured her the luxury (奢侈)in which I had been unable to keep her . She brought shame both to my pride and my love ; she was going to have to pay for what I had suffered .
I could not remain indifferent (冷漠)to what she did now . It followed that the thing that would hurt her most would be exactly for me to show indifference . Indifference , therefore , was the feeling which I now needed to pretend , not only in her presence but in the eyes of others .
I tried to put a smile on my face , and I went to call on Prudence with whom Marguerite was staying .
Prudence saw me to the door , and I returned to my apartment with tears of anger in my eyes and thirst for revenge in my heart and thought only of finding a way to make the poor creature suffer .
小題1:This passage is most probably _______________ of a love story .
A.the beginningB.the introductionC.a(chǎn) summaryD.a(chǎn) chapter
小題2:According to the passage , the hero(男主角)wanted to _____________ .
A.forgive Marguerite because he found her unhappy
B.stop the relationship with Marguerite because he couldn’t keep her in the luxury
C.make up the relationship with Marguerite because he still loved her
D.give Marguerite sufferings because his pride and his love were hurt
小題3:What kind of feelings did the hero most probably have ?
A.Indifference and love .
B.Indifference and hate .
C.Love and hate .
D.Hate and sadness .
小題4:What would the author most probably write about next ?
A.Why he changed his mind suddenly .
B.How he made up his relationship with Marguerite .
C.How he made Marguerite suffer.
D.Why he wanted Marguerite to pay for what he had suffered .

The Johnson family from England believe they are lucky to be alive after surviving an incredible incident off the coast of Australia. The Johnsons had been      that they might see some whales when they were _    a yacht (帆船)— a large expensive boat for a 10-day sailing      around the Whitsunday Islands.     , they had no clue just how      their viewing would be. Two hours into their journey a nine-meter-long humpback whale      out of the ocean and crashed into their boat before returning to the water.
Mark Johnson,the eldest son,was sailing the yacht when he heard an immense bang and a thud(重?fù)袈?.He     thought the yacht had hit a rock. However, when he looked up, he saw the whale      down the deck of the boat. He told the reporters, “ We were staring into its right eye. It was a very     _ moment. The eye was about the      of a dinner plate. It was huge.”
    for the Johnson family, no one was hurt, but the yacht suffered      damage. The whale had ruined the mast and rigging — the pole and ropes which hold the      ——and so the family was left      at sea, 10 miles from the shore. The      equipment was also damaged, but fortunately they had a cell phone and were able to call for help.
Why the whale jumped onto the yacht is a    ,but the family thinks that maybe the boat had not      sailed between the whale and its baby calf. Perhaps the whale was trying to      its calf when it jumped, hit the yacht by chance.
Whatever the reason, people are completely      that this incident happened. There is over 135 million square miles of ocean , so what are the      of a whale jumping onto a 30-foot-long yacht? The chance of something like this happening is miniscale, but it just shows that life is full of surprises.

Whenever you want to make a decision, just make sure to think twice and confirm it. This is what we learn from the following story.

Every so often, a kind-hearted woman or a small child would drop a few coins in the       which lay in front of them.
As the crowd began to die down, they started to           their things and head for their evening      . Just as they were getting ready to leave, they noticed a man walking toward them. He was obviously a         man—they could tell that from his finely tailored business suit.
The first beggar whispered to the second with          , “He’s coming our way!”
The two tried not to look         at the man as he stepped closer to them, but they couldn’t          gazing up with anticipation         he reached into his pocket and took something out.
“Thunk” was the only sound they heard as what looked like a piece of hard        , wrapped in tissue paper hit each of their waiting hats. The rich man           and continued on his way, not making a backward glance.
“How insulting(侮辱人的)!” said the first beggar. “He could have          left us a few coins or a spare bill, but he mocks us with a piece of rock candy. Who does he think we are?        ? There’s no way we can even eat this—we have no         .” He picked up the object and threw it into the gutter.
“I haven’t had anything like this for ages,” the second beggar thought. “I can’t chew it, but I can suck on it      , and the sugary juices will stay in my          for a long time. How nice of that man to offer me something so sweet!”
With that, he         the white tissue paper, but to his        , there was no hard rock candy inside. However, into his fingers fell a shiny white pearl worth thousands of dollars.

Yousuf Karsh,the Canadian portrait artist who photographed many of the most influential figures of the 20th century,died in a Boston hospital on July l3 th,2002.He was 93.
Working from a studio in Ottawa,Karsh produced famous portraits of such subjects as Winston Churchill,John F.Kennedy,Ernest Hemingway and Albert Einstein.Actually he has become almost as famous as his legendary subjects.In the latest edition of Who’s Who,which listed the most notable people of the last century,Karsh was the only Canadian of the 100 famous people listed——51 0f whom Karsh had photographed.
As a master portraitist,often working in black and white.Karsh was famous for talking to his subjects as he was getting the shot’s composition just right,asking them questions and putting them at ease.In preparation,he read as much as he could about the sitters,but avoided having the idea beforehand of how he would photograph them.He sought, as he wrote in Karsh Portfolio in 1967,to capture the “essential element which has made them great,” explaining,“All I know is that within every mall a secret is hidden,and as a photographer, it is my task to reveal it if I can.”
Karsh was born in America in 1908,and his uncle,George Nakash,brought him to John Garo,all outstanding photographer,to teach him in 1928.Four years later,Karsh set up his own studio in Ottawa.
In December of 1941,his memorable portrait of Winston Churchill brought Karsh into international fame.Canada’s Prime Minister Mackenzie King arranged for him to photograph Churchill following Churchill’s speech in the House of Commons.Not told,Churchill lit up a cigar, “Why was I not told of this?’’ Karsh asked him to remove the cigar and,when he didn’t,stepped forward and gently removed it with the comment,“Forgive me,Sir.”Churchill glowered (怒目而視) as the shot was taken,then permitted Karsh to take still another,;jokingly commenting,“You can even make a roaring lion stand still to be photographed.” The Churchill portrait has since appeared in publications all over the world.
Karsh traveled to London in 1943 with his portable studio —— an 8-by-10 view camera and many studio lamps to photograph such notables as George Bernard Shaw and the royal family.All these portraits fully illustrate Karsh’s ability.
小題1:What did Karsh seek to do most in working?
A.Capture the essence and greatness of the character.
B.Present the true and vivid expression of the subject.
C.Make the photograph more colorful and expressive.
D.Reveal the idea he has got in preparing for the shot.
小題2:The underlined word “sitters”in Para 3 probably means __________ .
A.characters seatedB.subjects questioned
C.models photographedD.photographs taken
小題3:The last three paragraphs are mainly developed by __________ .
A.following time orderB.providing examples
C.making comparisonsD.giving causes and effects
小題4:From the passage,we can learn that __________ .
A.Churchill was asked to stand still when Karsh took a photograph of him
B.Churchill’s portrait hanging in the House of Commons gave Karsh great fame
C.Karsh was listed as one of the 100 notables by Who’s Who in the last century
D.Karsh could skilfully adjust the subjects’ mood when photographing them

One Friday morning, Andrew announced to his wife that he finally decided to ask his boss for a salary raise. All day Andrew felt worried --- what if Mr. Larchmont refuses to grant his request? Andrew had worked so hard and of course, he deserves a wage increase.
The thought of walking into Larchmont’s office left Andrew weak in the knees. Late in the afternoon he finally mustered up the courage to approach his superior. To his delight and surprise, the ever-frugal Harvey Larchmont agreed to give him a raise!
Andrew arrived home to a beautiful table set with their best china, and candles lit. His wife, Tina had prepared a fine meal including his favorite dishes. Immediately he figured someone from the office might have broken the good news to her!
Next to his plate Andrew found a lettered note, reading: "Congratulations, my love! I knew you'd get the raise! I prepared this dinner to show just how much I love you. I am so proud of your accomplishments!" He read it and stopped to reflect on how sensitive and caring Tina was.
After dinner, Andrew was on his way to the kitchen when he observed a second card had slipped out of Tina's pocket onto the floor. He picked it up. He read: "Don't worry about not getting the raise! You deserve it anyway! You are a wonderful provider and I prepared this dinner to show you just how much I love you even though you did not get the increase."
Suddenly tears swelled in Andrew's eyes. Total acceptance! Tina's support for him was not conditional upon his success at work.
The fear of rejection is often softened when we know someone loves us regardless of our success or failure.

It's such a happy­looking library, painted yellow, decorated with palm­tree stickers and sheltered from the Florida sun by its own roof. About the size of a microwave oven, it's pedestrian­friendly, too, waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach Country Estates, along the northern boundary of Palm Beach Gardens.
It's a library built with love.
A year ago, shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the Little Free Library organization, a Wisconsin­based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available, she announced to her family of four, “That's what we're going to do for our spring break!”
Son Austin, now a 10th­grader, didn't see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox. But Janey insisted, and husband Peter unwillingly got to work. The 51­year­old owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that he'd built years earlier for daughter Abbie's toy horses, and made a door of glass.
After adding the library's final touches(裝點(diǎn)), the family hung a signboard on the front, instructing users to “take a book, return a book,” and making the Henriksen library, now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2,500 in the world, the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach County.
They stocked it with 20 or so books they'd already read, a mix of science fiction, reference titles, novels and kids' favorites. “I told them, keep in mind that you might not see it again,” said Janey, a stay­at­home mom.
Since then, the collection keeps replenishing(補(bǔ)充) itself, thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers. The library now gets an average of five visits a day.
The project's best pay­off, says Peter, are the thank­you notes left behind. “We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular.”
小題1:In what way is the library “pedestrian­friendly”?
A.It owns a yellow roof.
B.It stands near a sidewalk.
C.It protects book lovers from the sun.
D.It uses palm­tree stickers as decorations.
小題2:Janey got the idea to build a library from ________.
A.a(chǎn) visit to Brian Williams
B.a(chǎn) spring break with her family
C.a(chǎn) book sent by one of her neighbors
D.a(chǎn) report on a Wisconsin­based organization
小題3:The library was built ________.
A.by a ship supply company
B.on the basis of toy horses
C.like a mailbox
D.with glass
小題4:What can we infer from the signboard?
A.It was made by a user of the library.
B.It marked a final touch to the library.
C.It aimed at making the library last long.
D.It indicated the library was a family property.
小題5:The passage tells us that the users ________.
A.donate books to the library
B.get paid to collect books for the library
C.receive thank­you notes for using the library
D.visit the library over 5 times on average daily

科目:高中英語 來源:不詳 題型:閱讀理解

There are two things I can count on my dad asking every time he calls me: “Is there anything I can do for you?” and “How’s the car?” I guess he asks what he can do for me because his dad (an air force officer) was never really there for him, and he’s determined to provide me with the support he lacked. During my youth he never missed a school play or softball game. In fact, he was so supportive that I sometimes longed for one of those dads who dressed better and cared less. But my dad would forever be the guy wearing shorts with dress shoes and black socks, cheering me on, expecting greatness.
His other standard question—How’s the car? -- used to strike me as a waste of long-distance dollars from a man who once suggested making a list of what you want to talk about before calling someone out of state. What I now realize is that “How’s the car?” is not about the car. It’s a father’s way of asking his adult daughter how she is doing. The advantage is that if there’s something wrong with the car, he knows what to do about it and how much it will cost, whereas if you’re having problems about marriage or doubting a career choice, he might have to act Mom on the line.
At age thirty I finally took the plunge(跳進(jìn)) into adulthood by renting a car without my dad’s help or advice. I’m sure my dad was hurt rather than proud. Though a daughter’s independence is evidence of a job well done, it still implies the job’s done, and many fathers are unwilling to retire. Even when my dad was overworked, he’d happily jump on a plane if I said I needed help. His frequent question “Is there anything I can do for you?” underlines the fact that he wishes there was still something he could provide. It’s interesting: Even though we’re tied by blood and I love him no matter what, he still seems to need a concrete function -- suggesting stocks, finding the cheapest plane fare -- to feel he has a role in my life.
小題1:In the author’s opinion, her father always attended her school plays or softball games to_____.
A.satisfy any demand she made to him
B.show his interest and watch them for fun
C.make up what he was previously short of
D.expect his daughter would be great in games
小題2:The author has learned that by asking “How is the car?”, her father is actually_____.
A.reminding her not to waste money
B.a(chǎn)sking how his daughter is getting along
C.expressing his concern for her daughter’s safety
D.a(chǎn)sking his daughter if the car breaks down or not
小題3:According to the author, her father, like many other fathers, is unwilling to retire probably because_____.
A.he wants to continue to earn money
B.he is doubtful of children’s independence
C.he won’t put an end to caring for his children
D.he is afraid of losing connection with children
小題4:We can safely draw a conclusion from the story that in the author’s eye her father_____.
A.has a strong passion for his work
B.has the deepest love for his children
C.has great interest in his daughter’s car
D.has too much control over his children
