Dear son,
The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to understand me.
If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, have patience and remember the hours I   36  teaching it to you. If, when I speak to you, I   37  the same things thousand and one times, do not   38   me, listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story   39   you got to sleep. When I do not want to have a   40 , neither shame me nor scold me. Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I   41 , in order that you wanted to bathe. When you see my   42  little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking(嘲弄) smile. I taught you   43  to do so many things: to eat good, to dress well, to confront life…. When at some moment I lose the memory or the   44   of our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember, and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you   45   to me.
If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well   46   I need to and when not. When my   47  legs do not allow me to walk, give me your   48  , the same way I did when you gave your first   49 . And when someday I say to you that I do not want to   50  any more ---- that I want to rest forever, do not get angry. Someday you will understand.
Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover that,  51  my mistakes, I always wanted the   52  thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you. You must not feel sad, angry or impotent(無(wú)可奈何) for seeing me   53  you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you   54  living. Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and   55 . I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.
I love you, Son.
Your father

Temperature is part of my married romance.   36  to New York from Baltimore——where there is just one small snowstorm each year——I was seated by a fireplace in my new home, with fires   37  all day, just as what ancient people did at a wedding.
My husband, Peter, comes from northern Ontario(加拿大的安大略。, where winter   38  from September to May and cold wind is   39 . “When Canadians have -30℃, they   40  it bravely,” he says, “Cold wind is for crybabies.(愛(ài)哭的人)”
So to marry this man I had to learn to   41  for serious cold. To get me from Baltimore’s Inner Harbor to Albany’s frozen Hudson, Peter piled me   42  jackets and sweaters, scarves and gloves, even a hat with earflaps. The gift of Sorel boots——comfortably warm at Canada’s 30 below, was a   43  meaning getting serious.
That first winter together, living in upstate New York, I thought I’d   44 . My boots were good below freezing, but my fingers could   45  tie them. Physical adaptation is real, but it came slowly. And there is also emotional   46  to cold. Some days I tell myself that I have enough beach memories to stick to on   47   days and other days I am reminded that living cold does indeed build   48 .
49 , having a warm house is important. After my first marriage ended, for years I   50  went on a second date with a man whose response to my “I’m cold.” was, “Put on a sweater.” Now I’m married to a man who   51  that cold hands do not mean a warm heart, and that a big oil bill is better than roses. But surprisingly, I’ve grown, too. I am   52  , in this new life and climate, to go and look for that cost-saving sweater.
The word comfortable did not   53  refer to being satisfied. It’s from Latin, comfortare, meaning to strengthen. The Holy Spirit is Comforter;not to make us comfortable, but to make us   54  . We   55  not be warm but we are indeed comforted.

People do not analyze every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a   21  problem. They often accept the opinion or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without   22 ;they try to find a solution by trial and error.   23  .,when all of these methods   24  ,the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six    25  in analyzing a problem.
   26  the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam's bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle.
Next the person must   27   the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work. For example, he must determine the parts that are wrong.
Now the person must look for   28  that will make the problem clearer and lead to  possible solutions. For example, suppose Sam   29   that his bike does not work because there is some thing wrong with the brakes(剎車).   30  , he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes,   31  his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully.
After studying the problem, the person should have   32  suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an example   33 ,his suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones.
In the end, one   34  seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the __35__ idea comes quite   36  because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a   37   way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum(口香糖)stuck to a brake. He   38   finds the solution to his problem :he must___39___the brake.
Finally the solution is tested .Sam finds that his bicycle   40  perfectly. In short he has solved the problem.

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:不詳 題型:閱讀理解

If you look for a book as a present for a child, you will be spoiled for choice even in a year when there is no new Harry Potter. J.K. Rowling’s wizard is not alone: the past decade has been a harvest for good children’s books, which has set off a large quantity of films and in turn led to increased sales of classics such as The Lord of the Rings.
Yet despite that, reading is increasingly unpopular among children. According to statistics, in 1997 23% said they didn’t like reading at all. In 2003, 35% did. And around 6% of children leave primary school each year unable to read properly.
Maybe the decline is caused by the increasing availability(可利用性)of computer games. Maybe the books boom(繁榮)has affected only the top of the educational pile. Either way, Chancellor Gordon Brown plans to change things for the bottom of the class. In his pre-budget(預(yù)算) report, he announced the national project of Reading Recovery to help the children struggling most.
Reading Recovery is aimed at six-year-olds, who receive four months of individual daily half- hour classes with a specially trained teacher. An evaluation earlier this year reported that children on the scheme made 20 months’ progress in just one year, whereas similarly weak readers without special help made just five months’ progress, and so ended the year even further below the level expected for their age.
International research tends to find that when British children leave primary school they read well, but read less – often for fun than those elsewhere. Reading for fun matters because children who are keen on(熱衷) reading can expect lifelong pleasure and loving books is an excellent indicator(指示物)of future educational success. According to the OECD, being a regular and enthusiastic reader is of great advantage.
小題1:Which of the following is true of Paragraph 1?
A.Many children’s books have been adapted from films.
B.Many high-quality children’s books have been published.
C.The sales of classics have led to the popularity of films.
D.The sales of presents for children have increased.
小題2:Statistics suggested that ___.
A.the number of top students increased with the use of computers.
B.a(chǎn) decreasing number of children showed interest in reading.
C.a(chǎn) minority of primary school children read properly.
D.a(chǎn) large percentage of children read regularly.
小題3:What do we know about Reading Recovery?
A.An education of it will be made sometime this year.
B.Weak readers on the project were the most hardworking.
C.It aims to train special teachers to help children with reading.
D.Children on the project showed noticeable progress in reading.
小題4:Reading for fun is important because book-loving children ____.
A.takes greater advantage of the project.
B.shows the potential to enjoy a long life.
C.is likely to succeed in their education.
D.would make excellent future researchers.
小題5:The aim of this text would probably be ____.
A.to overcome primary school pupils’ reading difficulty.
B.to encourage the publication of more children’s books.
C.to remind children of the importance of reading for fun.
D.to introduce a way to improve early childhood reading.

What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red?  小題1:Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings.  小題2: If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly
 小題3: A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day.  小題4: A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自殺) than any other bridge in the area-until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.
小題5: It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or gray.
A.On the other hand, black is depressing.
B.They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favorite color as grow up—we are born with our preference.
C.The rooms are pained in different colors as you like.
D.If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement.
E. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active.
F. Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colors.
G. Colors do influence our moods-there is no doubt about it.

In most of the time, I am devoted to my research in the lab with my friend Dave, who loves traveling very much. To make our life colorful and relax ourselves, in July, my friend and I are taking a camping trip. We will travel for four weeks and will tour the United States and part of Canada. We have decided to camp because it does not cost as much as vacationing (度假) in hotels.
We have to plan very carefully in advance. First, the car we are going to drive is very small, so we have decided to take only one small suitcase each and as few camping things as possible. We will take some medicine with us to prevent insects (昆蟲) from hurting us, and also food for picnics. Second, there is a lot to see in the United States and Canada, so we have to decide on the direction (方向) we want to drive.
The date we are leaving is July 2, from which day we will have two months off.  We want to see and do many things on our camping tour. We want to climb in the mountains, visit famous caves, and swim in cool mountain rivers. We want to visit many cities and talk to many people, which I am sure can enrich our experience greatly. We also want to find a hotel room if it rains at night. We expect to have an exciting trip.

At one time, people used to travel to foreign countries because they thought they would be different from home—the building, the food, the national dress. Nowadays, however, one large city is very like another. They all have their Hilton or Sheraton Hotels which look Hilton or Sheraton Hotels everywhere. They all have their McDonald’s, their KFCs, their Pizza Huts. Office buildings look the same everywhere, and most city centers are full of office buildings. And, of course, people are driving the same brands of Japanese or European cars, usually wearing the same kinds of clothing and the world’s airlines are all flying the same aircraft, Boeings or Airbuses.
What, therefore, is the purpose of foreign travel for people who are not on business? What do tourists hope to experience in a foreign country that they cannot experience at home? Why travel to foreign countries at all? The answer could be that people are very interested in the past. It is a nation’s history that is its main attraction. Most of today’s tourists travel overseas to find out what foreign countries and cultures used to be like, not what they are like today. The words “cultural tourism” are now part of the language of tourism, and it is the museums and works of art in many countries that are their main attractions.
If they are lucky—and have had sensible, strong governments—many countries also usually have at least a few beautiful places for tourists to visit.
Finally there is perhaps a nation’s greatest attraction: its people. A nation is not just its historical buildings, its works of art or beautiful places, it is also the people who live in it. This is why a country such as Thailand attracts millions of people every year. They come mainly because of the friendliness of the Thai people. It is why the Pacific Islands are also so popular. There may not be much to see or do in Fiji, but there are lots of friendly, smiling people to make visitors feel welcome.
小題1:The passage is mainly about      .
A.the importance of tourismB.different foreign cultures
C.how to plan an overseas tripD.why people travel to foreign countries
小題2:The writer thinks that large cities in foreign countries       .
A.a(chǎn)re similar to one anotherB.share the same aircraft
C.do not have good hotelsD.do not offer a warm service to foreigners
小題3:The writer believes that many tourists are interested in foreign        .
A.hotelsB.historyC.carsD.programs
小題4:The underlined phrase “cultural tourism” means        .
A.visiting lots of museumsB.traveling overseas
C.studying the history of a foreign countryD.tourists being interested in a nation’s past and ideas

In the United States 84 colleges now accept just women. Most of them were established in the 19th century; they were designed to offer women the education they could not receive anywhere else. At that time major universities and colleges accepted only men. In the past 20 years many young women have chosen to study at colleges that accept both men and women. As a result some women’s colleges decided to accept men students too. Others, however, refused to change. Now these schools are popular again
The president of Trinity College in Washington, D. C. said that by the end of the 1980s women began to recognize that studying at the same school with men did not mean women were having an equal chance to learn. The president of Smith College in Massachusetts says a women’s college permits women to choose classes and activities freely. For example, she says that in a women’s college a higher percentage of students studies mathematics than in a college with both men and women.
Educational experts say men students in the United States usually speak in class more than women students do. In a women’s college, women feel free to say what they think. Women’s schools also bring out leadership capabilities in many women. Women are represented everywhere. For example, at a women’s college every governing office is held by a woman. Recent studies reportedly show this leadership continues after college. The studies show that American women who went to women’s colleges are more likely to hold successful jobs later in life. 
小題1:Some women’s colleges decided to accept men students because_______.
A.teaching women is more difficult than teaching men
B.many young women chose to study at colleges with both men and women
C.study with men is more challenged.
D.women and men can have equal chances of competition.
小題2:From the passage we know that_______.
A.more and more women’s colleges are being established now
B.more and more women like to study in colleges with both men and women
C.there are more women’s colleges than colleges with both men and women in the USA
D.it is better for American women to study in women’s colleges
小題3:According to this passage, if a woman wants to hold successful jobs, she’d better_______.
A.study in colleges with both men and women
B.study in Trinity College
C.learn from the president of Smith College
D.study in women’s colleges
小題4:Most of women’s colleges were established_______.
A.to give women the education they could not receive anywhere else.
B.to separate women from men.
C.to offer women special chances for work.
D.to help women have more study opportunities.
