科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

Abraham Lincoln was born into poverty 200 years ago. At any other time and place, this lowly origin would have dictated his future, but in Lincoln’s case, his self-determination and force of will made it possible for him to secure his seat in his country's history. He has become a role model in the self-made America.
If you want to learn about somebody who didn’t quit, look no further. Abraham Lincoln had two business ventures failed, and the second one made him bankrupt, so he had to spend the next 17 years of his life paying for the debt. He also lost 8 different elections. It seemed that he had never done things right at the first time: the first time he ran for state legislature for Congress, for land officer, for Senate, all of these failed, and the first time he sought the vice-presidential nomination, he got less than 100 votes nationally. But he never found it too shameful to carry on his mission. Then later in 1860, on such a rough road, he made it to the White House. He lived up to his famous saying, “Always bear in mind that your own determination to success is more important than any other.”
He could have quit many times-—-but he didn’t and because he didn’t quit，he became one of the greatest presidents in the history of America. One important way Lincoln influences present society is that we look back on his lifeas a role model for future generations. Lincoln’s high character influences us because we compare present-day politicians to the example Lincoln set. A major influence Lincoln has on the united States today is simply through the good example he set when it came to honesty, persistence and leadership.
小題1:According to the first paragraph, which of the following statements is true?
A． Lincoln was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
B． Like Lincoln, a poor origin leads to a bright future.
C． America is considered self-made because of Lincoln.
D． Self-determination and will contributed to Lincoln’s success.
小題2:What is Paragraph Two mainly about?
A． How Lincoln made his way to the White House.
B． Lincoln suffered various failures.
C． Lincoln was a man who never quit.
D． Lincoln once lost two business ventures.
小題3:Which is the correct order of what happened to Lincoln?
a. He was paying off his debt.  b. He failed in the run for land officer,
c. He got less than 100 votes nationally. d. he stuck to his mission, e. He went bankrupt.
A．b-c-c-d-aB．e-a-b-c-dC．e-c-a-b-dD．d-c-a-b-c
小題4:What’s the function of Lincoln’s famous saying in Paragraph Two?
A． To tell us that determination is the most important to success.
B． To attract readers1 attention.
C． To show why Lincoln was able to carry on in hard times.
D． To summarize Lincoln’s story.
小題5:Why does the writer consider Lincoln as one of the greatest presidents in America?
A． Because he still influences America as a role model.
B． Because he set a good example to the present politicians.
C． Because of his great personalities.
D． Because he went through diverse difficulties.

Alex Wood began fundraising when he was four years old. He sold lemonade and cookies to raise money for a school in Haiti. Later, Alex sent 15 bags of food he collected from his neighbors to a food store near his home which asked for donations(捐贈(zèng)).
Alex wanted to help more people. He decided to donate to Heifer International, an organization that gives farm animals and farm training to poor people around the world. His goal: $5,000 for a “gift ark”. That amount would mean that 15 pairs of animals would be given to people in need. Those families would agree to give one of their animals’ young to other needy families.
Alex decided that baking was the best way to raise money. He started a business, named it Clean Hands Bakery, and now sells his baked goods year round. In his family’s kitchen, he created all kinds of cookies and cakes. He says his top sellers are lemon pound cakes and chocolate cupcakes. Alex likes the baking as much as the fundraising. “I like it that you can take so many ingredients(原料) that don’t taste good on their own and come up with something amazing,” he says.
In September 2011, Alex reached his goal of $5,000 and bought a gift ark. “I feel absolutely overjoyed that I got to my goal,” he says. “I can’t help everybody by myself, but I can do my part, which I hope will inspire other people to do their part, too.” One of the people Alex has already inspired is his younger brother. “He had people donate to me, instead of giving him a birthday present.” Alex explains. “In the end he donated $200 toward my goal.”
So now that he’s met his goal of a gift ark, will Alex keep baking and fundraising? He says yes. He wants to end world hunger, one cupcake at a time.
小題1:What did Alex Wood donate to Heifer International?
A．$5.000 in cashB．Farm animals
C．A gift arkD．Lemon Hands Bakery
小題2: According to the passage, Clean Hands Bakery ______.
A．was set up in September 2011
B．uses many unusual ingredients
C．belongs to Heifer International
D．sells food cooked by Alex himself
小題3: What’s Alex’ younger brother’s attitude towards his fundraising idea?
A．DoubtfulB．CuriousC．Supportive D．Uncaring
小題4: What would be the best title for the passage?
A．A charity helping the poor.
B．Feeding the world by baking.
C．The best way to raise money.
D．Cooking with different ingredients.

The orderly came back in a few minutes with a rifle（步槍?zhuān)゛nd some Burmans. He told us that the elephant was in the rice fields below, only a few hundred yards away. As I started forward practically the whole population of the quarter flocked out of the houses and followed me. They had seen the rifle and were all shouting that I was going to shoot the elephant. It was fun to them, as it would be to an English crowd; besides, they wanted the meat. It made me a little uneasy. I had no intention of shooting the elephant—I had merely sent for the rifle to defend myself—and it is always uneasy to have a crowd following you. I marched down the hill, looking and feeling a fool, with the rifle over my shoulder and an ever-growing army of people knocking and pushing at my heels. Beyond the huts there was a rice field a thousand yards across, muddy from the first rains. The elephant was standing eight yards from the road. He took not the slightest notice of the crowd. He was tearing up bunches of grass, beating them against his knees to clean them and feeding them into his mouth.
As soon as I saw the elephant I knew with perfect certainty that I ought not to shoot him. It is a serious matter to shoot a working elephant — it is comparable to destroying a huge and costly piece of machinery. There, peacefully eating, the elephant looked no more dangerous than a cow. I thought then and I think now that his attack of “must” was already passing off, in which case he would merely wander harmlessly about. Moreover, I did not in the least want to shoot him.
But at that moment I glanced round at the crowd that had followed me. It was an immense crowd, two thousand at the least and growing every minute. I looked at the sea of the faces above the colorful clothes—faces all happy and excited over this bit of fun, all certain that the elephant was going to be shot. They were watching me as they would watch a magician about to perform a trick. They did not like me. But with the magical rifle in my hands I was momentarily worth watching. And suddenly I realized that I should have to shoot the elephant after all. The people expected it of me and I had got to do it; I could feel their two thousand wills pressing me forward. And it was at this moment that I first felt the hollowness, the uselessness of the white man's control in the East. Here was I, standing in front of the unarmed crowd—seemingly the leading actor; but in reality only a puppet (傀儡). I understood in this moment that when the white man turns ruler of complete power it is his own freedom that he destroys.
小題1:The people were glad to think the elephant was to be shot mainly because ______.
A．it had damaged their homes and crops
B．it would provide them with meat
C．it would make them feel entertained
D．it was spoiling their rice fields
小題2:When the writer saw the elephant he felt       .
A．foolishB．a(chǎn)fraid C．pitifulD．confident
小題3:The writer realized that he had to shoot the elephant because        .
A．shooting elephants is a serious problem
B．everybody expected it of him
C．he did not wish to disappoint the rulers
D．he had to show how guns are fired
小題4:What does the writer intend to tells us when he tells the story?
A．Leading actors are sometimes foolish puppets.
B．Government for white people are useless.
C．Power can sometimes turn people imprisoned.
D．Unarmed crowds are in control of everything.
