As a five-year-old, I didn’t know how poor we were. My father would not be home that Christmas Eve. He was in the Army serving overseas. My mother and I worked all afternoon making tree decorations. The kitchen table was crowded with stars made of shiny paper. We were going to get the Christmas tree in the evening, when the prices for them usually dropped.
After sunset, we walked four blocks to a parking lot where they sold Christmas trees. “How much is your cheapest tree?” My mother asked the man standing at the entrance. He held his gloved hands over the fire. “Thirty dollars, miss.”
Her smile disappeared, “Nothing for less?” The man picked up a small tree branch and dropped it into the fire. “I just work here. I can’t change the price.”
The sudden melancholy（憂郁）in my mother’s face made me sad. The man looked down at me for what felt like a long time; it probably was only moments. He pointed at a pile of branches in the corner. “Behind it is a tree that we can’t sell. You can have it for free.”
“Thank you, sir,” I said.
There it was, a thing just a little taller than me. It had few branches—almost a ghost（幽靈）of a tree. My mother asked, “Can we take some of these branches?” He waved his arm. “Take it all if you want to, miss.”
We headed back home. We set the tree in the living room. I couldn’t imagine how we could hang many decorations on such a tree. She was smiling again, “Go to sleep now, son. Santa will decorate the tree for us.”
I woke at dawn and rushed into the living room. To my amazement, the tree had a beautiful natural shape. The decorations shone in the morning light. My mother had somehow fixed branches to the tree trunk. A few weeks later, my father returned. When I told him about the tree, tears filled the eyes of that strong soldier.
Since then, I have seen many wonderful holidays. That Christmas remains as my favorite.
1.Why did the mother decide to get the tree in the evening?
A. She wanted to buy it at a lower price.
B. She was fully occupied during the day.
C. She was waiting for the father to pick it up.
D. She had made an appointment with the seller.
2.How did the son feel when he spotted the tree behind the branches?
A. Disappointed. B. Delighted. C. Frightened. D. Relieved.
3.What brought the father to tears?
A. The pain of his war wound. B. The efforts his wife put into the tree.
C. The reunion with his family. D. The decorations his son made for the tree.

Cleaning your plate may not help feed hungry children today, but the timeworn advice of mothers everywhere may help reduce food waste from the farm to the fork, help the environment and make it easier to feed the world’s growing population.
Hard data still being collected, but experts in Chicago said about 30% to 50% of the food produced in the world goes uneaten. The average American throws away 33 pounds of food each month—about $40 worth, which means each person throws away almost 400 pounds of food. The US Department of Agriculture says that 23% of eggs and an even higher percentage of produce ends up in the trash.
“We forget we have all these fresh fruits and vegetables, and at the end of the week we have to throw them away”, said Esther Gove, a mother of three young children in South Berwick, Maine. “Now, I don’t buy as much fresh produce as I used to.”
But the effect of food waste arrives far beyond the kitchen. Agriculture is the world’s largest user of water, a big consumer of energy and major emitter of greenhouse gases during production. Experts say reducing waste is a simple way to cut stress on the environment and can ease pressure on farmers, who will be called on to feed an expected 9 billion people around the world in 2050, compared with nearly 7 billion today.
No matter how sustainable (可持續(xù)的) farming is, if the food’s not getting eaten, it’s not sustainable and it’s not a good use of our resources. In richer nations, fruit and vegetables end up in the trash because they aren’t pretty enough to meet companies’ standards, have gone bad in a home refrigerator or aren’t eaten at a restaurant. In developing countries, much food spoils before it gets to market due to poor roads and lack of refrigeration. High food prices are another reason, since some people can’t afford the food that’s produced.
1.From the first paragraph, we know that cleaning your plate ________.
A. is you mother’s best advice for you
B. can solve certain problems for the world
C. can help feed hungry children all over the world
D. helps meet the growing population’s needs
2.The underlined word “emitter” in Paragraph 4 means ________.
A. user B. finder C. protector D. producer
3.What is a sustainable and convenient way for a customer in a restaurant?
A. Ordering enough and packing the leftovers.
B. Ordering more than he or she can eat.
C. Ordering less and feeling hungry after leaving.
D. Ordering more and leaving the untouched alone.
4.Which of the following topics will follow the text?
A. More examples of food waste. B. Ways to reduce food waste.
C. Experts’ idea on the environment. D. Advice for food with high prices.

科目：高中英語 來源：江西省贛州市2017屆高三英語周考試卷二 題型：閱讀理解
This brief book is aimed at high school students, but speaks to anyone learning at any stage of life.
Its formal, serious style closely matches its content, a school-masterly book on schooling. The author, W. H. Armstrong, starts with the basics: reading and writing. In his opinion, reading doesn’t just mean recognizing each word on the page; it means taking in the information, digesting it and incorporating it into oneself just as one digests a sandwich and makes it a part of him. The goal is to bring the information back to life, not just to treat it as dead facts on paper from dead trees. Reading and writing cannot be completely separated from each other; in fact, the aim of reading is to express the information you have got from the text. I’ve seen it again and again ：Someone who can’t express an idea after reading a text is just as ineffective as someone who hasn’t read it at all.
Only a third of the book remains after that discussion, which Armstrong devotes to specific tips for studying languages, math, science and history. He generally handles these topics thoroughly and equally, except for some weakness in the science and math sections and a bit too much passion(激情）regarding history to his students, that was a hundred times more than my history teachers ever got across. To my disappointment, in this part of the book he ignores the arts. As a matter of fact, they demand all the concentration and study that math and science do, though the study differs slightly in kind. Although it’s commonly believed that the arts can only be naturally acquired, actually, learning the arts is no more natural than learning French or mathematics.
My other comment is that the text aged. The first edition apparently dates to the 1960s—none of the references(參考文獻(xiàn))seem newer than the late 1950s. As a result, the discussion misses the entire computer age.
These are small points, though, and don’t affect the main discussion. I recommend it to any student and any teacher, including the self-taught student.
1.According to Armstrong, what is the goal of reading?
A. gain knowledge and expand one’s view
B. express ideas based on what one has read
C. understand the meaning between the lines
D. gets information and keeps it alive in memory
2.The author of the passage insists that learning the arts_________.
A. is as natural as learning a language B. demands real passion C. is less natural than learning maths
D. requires great efforts
3.What can this passage be classified as?A. an advertisement B. a book review C. a feature story D. a news report

As the train started to move, I looked around in the car from my seat. Small bags hung from the luggage shelves, swinging from side to side along with the moving of the train. The lights were weak. The smells of oils, sweat, tobacco, socks and toilets filled the car. The window curtains seemed to have been picked up from a garbage can. Black and yellow marks dotted them. The wooden edge of the window by my seat had come. Black and yellow marks dotted them. The wooden edge of the window by my seat had come off and was oily like a butcher’s counter. Brown and dry apple bites, bread bits and melon seeds mixed with beer out of the can lay on the small table in front of me, so was a used newspaper beside one used chopstick.
I looked down. Five or six passengers sat on the floor, and one child even lay under a seat, sticking his feet out. Moving around the car would become a disaster. Even a brilliant ballet dancer on her tiptoe might find it hard to put her feet on. Most of those sitting on the floor were asleep, or half-sleep. From time to time they opened their eyes, taking a look at their luggage, and moved their bodies to keep their territory (領(lǐng)地) inviolate.
There were also noses. There was laughter and arguments of four men in their poker game. Two women, standing beside quarreled. A boy, excited, blew his whistles hard. An old lady seemed to lecture her grandson, who tore a hole in his trousers.
Suddenly, the train came to a stop. An apple flew away from a hanging bad, bounced off a woman’s shoulder, and hit the head of a man sitting on the floor. Bottles were broken. Swearing, crying and shouting all came into an explosion.
1.Which of the following can best describe the environment on the train?
A. Warm, comfortable but noisy.
B. Messy, dirty and crowded.
C. Quiet, harmonious but smelly.
D. Bright, busy and pleasant.
2.What did the author see on the coach?
A. A ballet dancer standing on the floor.
B. A table shaped like a butcher’s counter.
C. A newspaper and a chopstick lying on the table.
D. The train curtains picked up from a trash can.
3.How does the author develop the passage?
A. By describing real scenes.
B. By following space order.
C. By comparing different behaviors.
D. By following time order.
