When I walked into the house after school, the first thing I noticed was a box with items I recognized from my dad’s office.
“What are you doing at home?” I asked casually.
“Andrew, I was    31    today,” he answered quietly.
I was sure he was joking. “No, you weren’t. Why are you    32    at home?”
Then I noticed his    33    and realized he was telling me the truth. My father has always been a hard worker and prided himself on his career.    34    our family has been his joy, and I guess I have    35    his work for granted.
My father’s unemployment    36   many changes in our lives. For starters, he was at home all the time, which meant my bed had to be    37  , my room cleaned up, and my     38    done right after school. I would come home every day to find him at the computer     39    jobs. I began to notice how    40    he seemed, and how losing his job affected his self-esteem, though he tried to be    41   . For the first time, I    42   my dad as vulnerable (易受傷的). He asked my brother and me to    43    less. I gave up my pocket money,    44    it wasn’t much. I felt I was doing the right. I also found a part-time job.
After several difficult months of searching, my dad    45    to go in a totally different direction. He    46    that he never wanted to be laid off again, so he was going to start his own business. Day by day, I watched him    47    it, and I admired how much time and     48    he expended. I    49   knew he was a hard worker, but watching him in action really affected me.
Although this was one of the    50    experiences for our family, it taught me a lot about dealing with adversity (逆境), and will be my foundations for success.

Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story to their children. And they must have   11  how difficult it is to write a   12  children’s book. Either the author has aimed too   13 , so that the children can’t follow what is in his (or more often, her) story,   14  the story seems to be talking to the readers.
The best children’s books are   15  very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy both the 16  who hears the story and the adult who   17  it. Unfortunately, there are in fact few books like this,   18  the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not   19  to solve. This may be why many of the books regarded as   20  of children’s literature(文學(xué)) were in fact written for   21 . “Alice in wonderland” is perhaps the most obvious of this.
Children, left for themselves, often   22  the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in a bookshop or a   23   and he will more willingly choose the books written in an imaginative way, or have a look at most children’s comics(連環(huán)畫(huà)), full of the stories and jokes which are the objections of teachers and right-thinking parents.
Perhaps we parents should stop   24  to brainwash children into accepting our taste in literature. After all children and adults are so   25  that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the same books. So I suppose we’ll just have to compromise（妥協(xié)） over the bedtime story.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

When a dirty and untidy orange cat showed up in the prison yard，I was one of the first to go out there and pet it．I hadn’t touched a cat or a dog in over 20 years．I spent at least 20 minutes，knelt down behind the kitchen as the cat rolled around，relaxed．What he was expressing outwardly, I was feeling inwardly．It was an amazing bit of grace to feel him under my hand and note that I was reaching a life or another creature with something as simple as my care．
Over the next few days，there were other prisoners responding to the cat．Every yard period，a group of prisoners gathered there．They stood around talking and taking turns petting the cat．These were guys you wouldn’t usually find talking to each other．Several times I saw an officer in the group，not chasing people away, but just watching and seeming to enjoy along with the prisoners．Bowls of milk and water appeared along with bread, wisely placed under the edge of the dustbin to keep the birds from getting it．
The cat was obviously homeless and in pretty bad shape．People said that the cat came to the right place．He's getting treated like a king．This was true．but as I watched I was also thinking about what the cat was doing for us．There was a lot of talk about what's wrong with prisons in America．We need more programs．We need more psychologists or treatment of various kinds．Some may even talk about making prisons more kind．But I think what we really need is a chance to practise our own kindness．Not receive it，but give it．After more than two decades here，I know kindness is not a value that's encouraged．It's often seen as a weakness．
Instead，the culture encourages keeping your head down，minding your own business，and never letting yourself be weak．
The cat did my heart good to see the effect he had on me and the men here．By simply saying，”I need some help here”，he did something important for us．He needed us．And we needed to be needed．I believe we all do．
小題1:From the passage，we can learn that the author was           ．
A．a(chǎn)n animal protectorB．the cat ownerC．a(chǎn) prison officer D．a(chǎn) prisoner
小題2:Which of the following statements is true?
A．The cat was dirty because it was kept in prison．
B．The officer in the prison enjoyed petting the cat．
C．The prisoners prepared food for both the cat and birds．
D．The author realized the importance of practising kindness．
小題3:We can infer from the third paragraph that              ．
A．showing love to others can make prisoners strong
B．the American prison culture will be improved
C．the author is not content with the prison culture
D．caring for others is encouraged in American prisons
小題4:What is the best title for the passage?
A．Caring Makes Us Human．B．Prison Culture is Important．
C．Animals Need Care．D．Everyone Needs to be Cared for．
小題5:In Paragraph 2，the author mentioned that “Several times I saw an officer in the group，not chasing people away, but just watching and seeming to enjoy along with the prisoners．”to              ．
A．show us the officer and prisoners get along well with each other
B．show us the American prison culture does need improvement

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive(漂亮的) people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal advisors give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants (被告). But in the executive (行政的；管理的) circle, beauty can become
a liability.
While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman. Handsome male executives were considered as having more honesty than plain(平常的，不漂亮的) men; effort and ability were thought to lead to their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck. All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was connected more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of the attractive overnight successes.
Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is considered to be more feminine and an attractive man more manly than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the "manly" qualities required.
This is true even in politics. "When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently," says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.
The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes.
小題1:The word "liability" most probably means __________.        
A．disadvantageB．a(chǎn)dvantageC．misfortuneD．trouble
小題2:In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness ________.       
A．makes women look more honest and capableB．strengthens the qualifies required
C．is of no importance to womenD．often enables women to succeed quickly
小題3:Bowman's experiment shows that when it comes to politics, attractiveness _______.      
A．turns out to be a disadvantage to men
B．is more of a disadvantage than an advantage to women
C．a(chǎn)ffects men and women alike
D．has as little effect on men as on women
小題4:It can be inferred from the passage that people's views on beauty are often _____.      
A．practicalB．supportiveC．old-fashionedD．one-sided
小題5: The author writes this passage to ________________.
A．give advice to job-seekers who are attractive
B．discuss the disadvantages of women being attractive
C．demand equal rights for women
D．state the importance of appearance

Once upon a time, there was an island inhabited by: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all the rest of it, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love.

When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.

Love decided to ask Vanity(虛榮) who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. "Vanity, please help me!"
"I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.
Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go with you."

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

Being able to multitask---doing several things at the same time---is considered a welcome skill by most people. But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen, we should think again.
What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle an ever larger number of electronic devices as they study. While working, they also surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and listen to music on their iPods. In a sense, they are spending a significant amount of time in fruitless efforts as they multitask.
Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people give so much attention to their own worlds, they seem to have no time to spend with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they eat at the family table.
Multitasking also affects young people’s performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinion of the effect of modern gadgets on their performance of tasks, many young people gave a positive response. However, the response from the worlds of education and business was not quite as positive.
Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills. They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over again, as modern gadgets have made it unnecessary for them to learn special skills to do their work.
小題1:What does the underlined word “juggle” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A．Want to buy.
B．Take the place of.
C．Use at the same time.
D．Seek for information from.
小題2:In Paragraph 3, the author points out that  ________.
A．family members do not eat at the family table.
B．family members do not greet each other.
C．young people live happily in their families
D．young people seldom talk with their family members
小題3:What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A．multitasking is harmful to young people’s development.
B．Young people benefit a lot from modern gadgets.
C．Multitasking is an important skill to young people.
D．Yong people must learn skills for future jobs.
小題4:The author develops the passage mainly by ________.
A．providing typical examples
B．following the natural time order
C．comparing opinions from different fields
D．presenting a cause and analyzing its effects
