Reporter: Why did you start this new website for Alcott Middle School?

Sarah: Three months ago, my mom was complaining about how she never hears about the days our school ends early until after the fact. She works late and sometimes she has to ask our neighbor at the last minute to pick me up after school. It happened several times, and she was frustrated that there wasn’t better notification (通知) from the school.

Reporter: Didn’t your school already have a website with that information?

Sarah: We had a website. But there wasn’t much information on it, and nobody was in charge of keeping it up to date (包含最新信息的). I asked my teacher if our class could update the school calendar. That seemed pretty easy.

Reporter: Was it?

Sarah: Yeah, and it was kind of fun. So then we asked the principal (校長) if we could redo the whole site. He said okay, so we went to work. We discovered websites that taught us how to make our site look better and added more hot links that people could click to get more information about a subject. We posted photos from basketball games. Our class even started a blog about what’s going on at school. Then we persuaded the teachers to create their own pages.

Reporter: So what’s next?

Sarah: A few friends and I started a small Web design business. We’re asking other schools if they’ll employ (雇用) us to set up a site like the one we created.

Reporter: Wow! That’s pretty enterprising (有事業(yè)心的) for a 13-year-old.

Sarah: I guess so. But it doesn’t seem like work when you’re doing something you enjoy.

1.How did Sarah’s mom feel about her school three months ago?

A. Hopeful. B. Thankful.

C. Dissatisfied. D. Uninterested.

2.The underlined part “in charge of” is closest in meaning to _____.

A. in keeping with B. in touch with

C. in need of D. in control of

3.Sarah set up the new school website _____.

A. with the help of her teachers

B. by researching on other websites

C. in order to please her principal

D. to make her school more famous

4.What can we learn about Sarah?

A. She doesn’t like working at all.

B. She dreams of being a boss.

C. She enjoys what she does now.

D. She wants to make lots of money.

科目：高中英語 來源：四川省瀘州市2017屆高三四診（臨考沖刺模擬）英語試卷（有答案） 題型：閱讀理解

A bite from a tsetse fly is an extremely unpleasant experience.To make matters worse,several species of tsetse fly can transmit diseases.One of the most dangerous is a parasite（寄生蟲）that causes "sleeping sickness".

After the initial bite,sleeping sickness symptoms often start with a fever,headaches and aching muscles.As the illness goes on,those infected become increasingly tired,which is where it gets its name.

It is worth noting that sleeping sickness is no longer as deadly as it once was.In the early 20th Century several hundred thousand people were infected each year.By the 1960s the disease was considered "under control" and had reached very low numbers,making its spread more difficult.But in the 1970s there was another major infection,which took 20 years to control.Since then,better screening programs and earlier treatments have reduced the number of cases dramatically.In 20is this figure dropped to fewer than 3,000.The World Health Organization (WHO) hopes the disease will be completely removed by 2020.More problematically,a series of new studies have shown that the parasite is more complicated than previously believed.

Sleeping sickness has always been considered—and analyzed—as a blood disease,because the parasites can readily be discovered in the blood of its victims.However,in a recent study found that the parasite can stay in the skin and fat,as well as in the blood.There may even be a higher density（密度）of the parasite in the skin than in the blood. That means a person can have no symptoms but still both harbor the disease and spread it.The finding could explain the mysterious 1970s infection,and why the disease can spring up in areas that had previously been cleared.

1.What's the danger of a tsetse fly bite?

A. It makes people sleepy. B. It causes skin disease.

C. It brings about deaths. D. It transmits deadly parasites.

2.What can we infer about sleeping sickness from Paragraph 3?

A. It's still a threat to human health. B. It's not that dangerous at present.

C. It's incurable in the early 20th century. D. It's completely under control in the 1960s.

3.What does the underlined "harbor" most probably mean?

A. carry B. resist C. exchange D. hide

4.What does the latest research indicate according to the passage?

A. Sleeping sickness is a blood disease. B. Skin is more suitable for the parasite to grow.

C. Sleeping sickness can be spread with no signs. D. Parasites in the skin caused the 1970s infection.

科目：高中英語 來源：湖北省黃岡市2016-2017學年高二下學期期末考試英語試卷 題型：閱讀理解

Growing up in Wyoming,everyday life was an adventure—I spent my time camping,and exploring mountains. When I was little,my mom became the state's first female U.S. Marshall.I'll never forget how the local newspaper praised her for her success in a field that's traditionally run by men.Under her influence,I made up my mind to achieve something great.Now,I've become famous for sailing,a sport often considered "a man's world".

Sailing is considered a hard-to-break-into sport.And,generally,there are only two ways to get into it—either through a strict sailing education that leads to experience or by growing up on the water and racing in the Olympics. Most of my teammates became professional sailors in one of these two ways but I skipped both.

In the summer of 2008,I went to St.Croix through a college internship（實習）program focusing on educating locals about HIV and AIDs.There,I discovered my love for sailing.Then,SCA,a global hygiene（衛(wèi)生保健）company, made the decision to support an all-female team,and when they began accepting applications,I knew it was the chance of a lifetime.I made it my task to become a part of the team.Even when it seemed like there were no positions left,I never gave up.

After a stressful,two-year application process,I finally got the call.I moved to Lanzarote in the Canary Islands and began training with the team immediately.The process was physically,mentally and emotionally exhausting,but I finally achieved my goal.I sailed in the "Everest of sailing" with only six years' experience.Later,there was an all-female team competing,and I was lucky enough to be a part of it.

As women,we need to approach our dreams as if we deserve to achieve them as much as men,because we do. There are plenty of professions,including sailing,in which women are absent or have a minor presence—but that's not because they shouldn't be there.We need to push the boundaries and focus on obtaining our goals and passions,no matter how unobtainable and challenging they may seem.
