科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

I had an experience some years ago, which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves．One January, I had to hold two funerals on successive days for two elderly women in my community．Both had died “full of years”, as the Bible would say．Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence （吊唁） calls on the two families on the same afternoon.
At the first home, the son of the deceased （已故的） woman said to me, “If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today．It’s my fault that she died.” At the second home, the son of the other deceased woman said, “If only I hadn’t insisted on my mother’s going to Florida, she would be alive today．That long airplane ride, the sudden change of climate, was more than she could take．It’s my fault that she’s dead.”
You see that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty．Because the course of action they took turned out badly, they believe that the opposite course — keeping Mother at home, putting off the operation — would have turned out better．After all, how could it have turned out any worse?
There seem to be two elements involved in our willingness to feel guilty．The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens．That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds.
The second element is the view that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen．It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault．The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood.
A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it．He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to its tasks．He cries, and someone comes to attend to him．When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him．Very often, we do not completely outgrow that childish view that our wishes cause things to happen.
小題1:The author had to hold the two women’s funerals probably because __________________.
A．he wanted to comfort the two families
B．he was an official from the community
C．he had great pity for the deceased
D．he was priest of the local church
小題2:People feel guilty for the deaths of their loved ones because _______________________.
A．they couldn’t find a better way to express their sorrow
B．they believe that they were responsible
C．they had neglected the natural course of events
D．they didn’t know things often turn out in the opposite direction
小題3:According to the passage, the underlined part in paragraph 4 probably means that ______.
A．everything in the world is predetermined
B．the world can be interpreted in different ways
C．there’s an explanation for everything in the world
D．we have to be sensible in order to understand the world
小題4:What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．Life and death is an unsolved mystery.
B．Every story should have a happy ending.
C．Never feel guilty all the time because not every disaster is our fault.
D．In general, the survivors will feel guilty about the people who passed away .

It is a matter of common observation that although money income keeps going up over the years, we never seem to become richer. Prices are rising continuously. This condition is what we call inflation: the money supply is becoming inflated so that each unit of it becomes less valuable. We have got used to higher and higher rates of inflation in recent years. What could be bought twenty years ago for one pound now costs well over 2 pounds. And at present this rate of inflation seems to be rising rather than falling. If in the real world our money incomes go up at the same rate as prices do. One might think that inflation doesn’t matter. But it does ------.When money is losing value it also loses one of the qualities of a good money—stability of value. It is no longer acceptable as a store of value; and it becomes an unsuitable means of delayed payment. Nobody wants to hold a wasting possession, so people try to get rid of money as quickly as possible. Inflation therefore simply stimulates（刺激）our spending and discourages saving.
小題1:From the passage we can know that inflation is a situation in which________.
A．everyone’s incomes rise
B．money will hold its value
C．we can watch our money grow
D．money constantly loses its value
小題2:．In the writer’s view, if incomes and prices rise at the same rate, ________.
A．inflation maybe still be a problem
B．we have nothing to worry about
C．inflation is no longer a problem
D．we will become richer and richer
小題3:．Under inflation people are likely to ________.
A．go to the bank more often than usual
B．save more money since their incomes rise
C．spend money quickly rather than to save it
D．keep money at home instead of going to banks
小題4:．We can conclude according to the passage that ________.
A．the writer is a government official
B．the writer is worried about inflation
C．the writer encourages people to spend money
D．the writer has become richer because of inflation
小題5:. Which of the following words is omitted at the end of the underlined sentence “But it does”?
A．matter,B．goes.C．risesD．fall

In an age dominated （控制的） by new media and the Internet, there are so many alternative ways of learning．Gone are the days when, if we couldn't make it into a classroom, the only real option was to pick up a book, or when audio materials consisted of bad quality cassettes or sporadic（時(shí)有時(shí)無的） radio and TV programmes．With the appearance of broadband access to the web, we have a whole new learning domain （統(tǒng)領(lǐng)） at our fingertips．Sophisticated learning materials in the form of text or high-quality audio are now available at the touch of a button, and tests and assignments can be submitted （進(jìn)行） and marked online．Questions and learning, studying away from the classroom has never seemed easier．Yet many teachers would argue that face-to-face contact between teachers and students is an essential part of the language learning experience．Enter the concept of blended （融合的） learning, an approach to education which seeks to combine the best of new technology and actual human contact．
Advocates of blended learning argue that an approach to study which combines the benefits of new technology with the best aspects of face-to-face （often abbreviated to F2F） teaching, will achieve better results．For example, there are some aspects of study, like practical sessions, dealing with more subjective questions, or meeting the needs of an individual student, which require face-to-face human interaction, whereas the more mechanical aspects of learning, such as answers to clear-cut questions, can be managed simply and effectively in a remote environment using new technology．
Blended learning approaches have proven especially appropriate in language learning．For example, in an ELT （English Language Teaching ） environment, a simple scenario （劇情概要） might be a classroom session where a teacher asks a group of students to use a wiki to create a text． Students then go away and compose and edit the text remotely．During the next F2F session, the teacher express his opinion about their work．
小題1:What is the main idea of this passage?
A．Blended learning is an effective learning approach．
B．More and more people will use Internet-based learning materials,
C．There are so many different ways of learning for people to choose in today's world．
D．Blended learning methods have proven to be effective except in language learning．
小題2:Which of the following aspects of study doesn't require face-to-face interaction between teachers and students?
A．Practical sessions．
B．Tackling the needs of an individual student．
C．Dealing with more subjective questions．
D．Providing answers to clear-cut questions．
小題3:It can be inferred from the passage that ______．
A．the radio and TV in the past were of poor quality
B．people do not get audio materials through cassettes nowadays
C．it was not convenient for people to leam outside a classroom in the past
D．it was difficult to find a classroom with good learning conditions in the old days
小題4:Which of the following can be best describe the writer's attitude towards blended learning?
A．Critical．B．Objective （客觀的） ．
C．Supportive．D．Neutral （中立的） ．

Rowena and Billy Wrangler are model high school students. They study hard and do extremely well on achievement tests. And next year，Rowena will be attending Harvard University．Billy，her younger brother，hopes to go to Cornell．What makes Rowena and Billy different from most students is that they don't go to school．In fact，they've never been to school．Since kindergarten，they've studied at home．Like many of more than one million people who receive home schooling in the United States, they feel as if they've gotten a good education．
The home-schooling trend began in the U.S．in the 1980s with parents keeping their children out of public schools so they could provide religious education at home. Today，as the home-schooling trend continues to grow，parents are more likely to consider home schooling as an option because they believe schools don't do a very good job of teaching and are occasionally dangerous places．But can parents really do a better job?
The answer in many cases is yes．In many studies，students taught at home ranked average or above average when compared to students who went to public schools．More importantly，these students were often more self-directed and have a greater depth of knowledge．They were well prepared for academic challenges．
One such student，Robert Conrad, now a sophomore at university, claims he really learned how to study and schedule his time during his eight years of home schooling．Still, not every student is as successful as Robert．
“For every home-schooling success story，there are an equal number of failures．”states Henry Lipscomb，an educational researcher．“There are just so many disadvantages that students taught at home have to overcome.” For example，they have fewer chances to get in touch with others of their own age．Consequently，they sometimes lack the usual social skills．“No matter what，though，”states Lipscomb，“home-schooling is a growing trend．I think we'll be seeing more and more of this．”
小題1:Compared with other students, Rowena and Billy are most different in the fact that ___________.
A．they preferred to teach themselves
B．they do extremely well on achievement tests
C．they don't go to school as other teenagers
D．they feel they have gotten a good education
小題2:According to the article, what is NOT the advantage of being educated at home?
A．Home is a safer place for children．
B．Students taught at home are more self-directed．
C．Students taught at home have a greater depth of knowledge．
D．Students taught at home can go to good universities．
小題3:The writer thinks __________ .
A．parents can do a better job than schools
B．home-schooling will be more and more useful
C．home-schooling is good in some aspects
D．students taught at home make greater achievements
小題4:The best title of this text might be ________ .
A．Home-schooling：A Growing Trend
B．Home-schooling：A Better Choice
C．Home-schooling：A Way to Success
D．Home-schooling：A New Method of Education
