Steve Sparks was a young successful lawyer when a bruise （挫傷） on one of the legs of his 3-year-old daughter changed his life. The bruise led to a doctor’s visit. The doctor said his daughter was suffering from leukemia (白血病).

That year, the Fort Wayne mayor officially declared December 21st as Amy Jo Hagadorn Day throughout the city. The mayor explained that by daring to make such a simple wish, Amy taught a universal lesson. “Everyone,” he said, “wants to and should be treated with respect, dignity and warmth.”

One of my neighbors used to have a beautiful tree in her front yard. Her dad had planted it for her when it was nothing more than a twig and several years later it started to shoot towards the sky with amazing speed. Soon it blessed her with cooling shade in the summer and glorious, golden leaves in the fall.

When the two-day snowstorm struck our town, heavy snow fell on the tree’s branches that were still full of leaves. The weight split that lovely tree down the middle. It was so sad seeing half of it laying on the ground after the storm. When I talked to my neighbor later, she said that the damage had been too much and that the entire tree would have to be cut down. Thankfully she had saved a few saplings(樹苗) from it that she hoped to replant in the future.

Still, it was a shock to drive by her house the other day and see nothing but a stump in her front yard. I missed that tree. I missed its beauty, its leaves shinning in the afternoon sun. I missed seeing its limbs reach towards the heavens. I thought that the stump would be a sad reminder of its loss for a long time to come. My wonderful neighbor, though, had another plan. When I drove by her home today I saw a tiny bird feeder sitting on that stump and a colorful songbird having its dinner. It was such an affirmation of life. It was such a joy to see. I could feel my heart smile.

Life by its very nature is a mixed bag. It hands us both beauty and tragedy, love and loss, pleasure and pain. What we do with it, however, is up to us. We can let it split us in two, or we can use even its hardest times to make our souls stronger and our hearts more loving. We can spend it complaining or we can use it to help others.

1.We know from the first paragraph that _____．

A. the tree grew very slowly.

B. the tree showed its beauty and benefits.

C. the author’s neighbor was good at planting trees.

D. the tree was so strong that it could bear any weight.

2.The author’s neighbor left a stump in her front yard to use it as_____.

A. a good reminder.

B. a seat after dinner.

C. a place to feed birds.

D. a beautiful sculpture.

3.What does the author mainly want to show in the passage?

A. Life has beauty and tragedy.

B. Life consists of pain and suffering.

C. Life should be pleasant rather than painful.

D. Life is determined by our attitude towards it.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2014-2015學(xué)年湖北省襄陽(yáng)四校高二下學(xué)期期中四校聯(lián)考英語(yǔ)試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They will soil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing. The key to preventing or treating behavior problems is learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior to an outlet that is acceptable in the domestic (馴養(yǎng)的) setting.

One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to train its obedience. Obedience training doesn’t solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Training pens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do.

Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order. When your dog obeys a simple request of “come here, sit,” it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the pack (群) by using extreme measure. You can teach your dog its subordinate (從屬的) role by teaching it to show submission to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you to pleasantly accept that you are in charge.

Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal.

1.Behavior problems of dogs are believed to _________.

A. occur when they go wild

B. be just part of their nature

C. get worse in modern society

D. become a threat to the community

2.The key to solving dogs’ behavior problems is to _________.

A. teach the dog to perform clever tricks

B. make the dog aware of its owner’s authority

C. enable the dog to regain its normal behavior

D. provide the dog with a pattern accepted by its owner

3.Why do pet dogs love performing tricks for their masters?

A. To avoid being punished.

B. To show their affection for their masters.

C. To win leadership of the dog pack.

D. To show their willingness to obey.

4.When a dog has received effective obedience training, its owner _________.

A. can give the dog more freedom

B. will enjoy a better family life

C. can give the dog more rewards

D. will have more confidence in himself

Last fall，beekeepers from states with warm climates began to report a sudden loss of honey bees.Losses were reported in twentyfour states and spread to Canada.Today，some beekeepers say thirty percent to ninety percent of their honey bees are gone.Food price could go up as a result.And some beekeeping businesses have failed.

Many kinds of plants，trees and grasses need bees to pollinate them.Bees gather nectar from flowers during this process.The liquid gives them food and material to make honey.As the bees land on flowers，their bodies pick up and drop off particles of pollen(花粉)．Most flowering plants need pollination to reproduce.

Honey bees can die during the winter.But few dead bees have been found this time.Instead，the bees seem to have disappeared.Experts call the condition “colony collapse disorder”．

Agriculture Department official Caird Rexroad said the colony collapse disorder threatens about fifteen billion dollars worth of the country's farm economy.Mr.Rexroad commented at a hearing of a House of Representatives agriculture subcommittee.

Mr.Rexroad said the cause of the sudden loss of bees was not clear.The number of honey bees had already fallen before the colony collapse disorder began.

Experts say the varroa mite is at least partly responsible for the earlier decrease in honey bees.The mite is a tiny creature that feeds on honey bees.It may play a part in colony collapse disorder by carrying bee viruses.Or the problem may be caused by other disease and weather conditions.

Diana CoxFoster of Pennsylvania State University is part of the scientific group.Ms.CoxFoster says the nation needs honey bees that can defend themselves better against disease and insects.The recent mapping of most of the honey bees' genes offers the hope of a stronger honey bee some day.

1.Some people have failed in beekeeping businesses because ________.

A．they want to make more money by doing something else

B．the climates were too warm to raise bees last fall

2.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to this passage?

A．It is normal that some bees die in the cold season.

B．The plants can't live without bees at all.

C．Many bees have died because of the bad weather.

3.The passage is mainly to tell us that ________.
