試題分析：文章大意：文章主要講述珍妮通過(guò)自身的努力去買一輛新的自行車。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第一段It was a lot smaller than she remembered．When she sat on it and put her feet on the pedals，her knees nearly touched her chin.可知舊自行車對(duì)她來(lái)說(shuō)太小了。故D正確。

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

Like most Oregonians, Stephanie McRae was used to driving in bad weather. Although rain still beat the window of her car, the worst of the day’s storm seemed to have passed as she drove her 11-year-old daughter, Maggie, home from a church at 8:30 p.m. Two little children sat into their car seats in back.
When crossing over Fawcett Creek (小河), McRae found the road just ahead had been washed away. The storm had turned Fawcett Creek into a 100-feet-wide river. Water began to go into the car and the four of them had to climb onto the car’s roof. The car was floating about and was being swept toward the Tillamook River only a few miles ahead. Suddenly it stopped when hitting a logjam (浮木阻塞).The water swept over them, rising higher and higher. Stephanie screamed into the rainy night, almost crying.
“Mom, I have to go and get help,” her 11-year-old daughter Maggie cried.
Stephanie realized if she went by herself, Maggie couldn’t hold on to the other two babies. But Maggie was still recovering from foot surgery. How could she manage? Finally she shouted, “I’m proud of you. Be careful!”
As Maggie McRae struggled to reach the shore, she was all wet. The sixth grader started running to the nearest house. Inside, the neighbors immediately called 911 and were told that firefighters were making their way toward another trapped car. Maggie joined the neighbors, and helped the rescue team point out where her mother was. The firefighters saved McRae and her children by using a 35-foot-long ladder.
When Stephanie reached land in safety, Maggie raced into her mother’s arms. “She hugged me for five minutes,” Maggie remembers. Maggie accepted an award for her heroism, but she’s happier to get back to her sports team and her family. 
小題1:What can we infer from the passage?
A．Without the logjam, McRae’s car would have been swept into the Tillamook River.
B．The rain became heavier when McRae drove home.
C．McRae’s car was the only vehicle that was blocked in the Fawcett Creek that night.
D．Most of the time the weather in Oregon is quite good.
小題2:Stephanie McRae’s screaming on the car’s roof suggested that she felt ______.
A．surprisedB．helplessC．disappointedD．careless
小題3:According to the passage, we can infer that Maggie ______.
A．was strong enough to hold the two children in the water
B．tried to swim to the bank in order to get help
C．stopped her sports activities due to her foot injury
D．rescued her family using a ladder
小題4:Which of the following is in the correct order of events?
①Firefighters rescued McRae and her children from the river.
②Firefighters were sent to the broken road.
③The neighbors Maggie found called 911.
④The rescue team had got informed of the trouble at Fawcett Creek.
⑤Another trapped car was found in the river by the firefighters.
A．④②③⑤①B．④③②①⑤C．③④②①⑤D．③④②⑤①
小題5:What is the passage mainly about?
A．A heavy storm that damaged a road and killed lots of drivers.
B．A brave young girl who helped save her family from flood.
C．Firefighters who rescued a family late at night from flood.
D．Great neighbors who saved people swept away into a river.

My mother and I started our morning by rushing into the local grocery store. I waited in line at the Starbucks counter while she        around to pick up a few things. 
As I was        there I noticed an elderly woman, wearing layers (層)        layers of old torn clothing, moving behind me in line.
She had a few toiletries(化妝品)and seemed to want the Starbucks cashier to       since our queue was shorter than the grocery store queues were. 
At some point I became       of her moving closer behind me –it was         than I was comfortable with! I instinctively (本能地)      a hand over my purse and drew it closer to me. My fear and imagination raced creating wild         about this homeless woman who might try to          from me.
Then it was my         to order. As the cashier rang up my total I discovered I was 37 cents        . I called to my mother but she is hard of hearing. She asked me to         what I said but she still couldn't          me out.
At that point, a long grey arm, with         in its sleeves,          over from behind me. She laid 37 cents out on the counter, saying, "Here, We all need some        sometimes."
I was         ! Here was a woman who clearly had very little to         and in great need herself. I had judged her         and she had reached out, voluntarily, to help me! 
What an amazing gift and lesson this woman gave me about         others. Thank You, God!!

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

Mom’s birthday present? It may be a difficult thing for some people, but for me, it is an easy thing. Mom loved flowers, so every year I sent her flowers. Actually she had a bed of irises (鳶尾花) in the backyard of her small, Indiana farm. They were beautiful. “Take some,” she said, “Dig some up and plant them on the side of your own house.”
But in my yard they became lacking in energy. A year passed, then two, but not one flower appeared. I cut back all their green leaves. I was tired of seeing them so lonely. Finally, I dug the irises up and threw them away.
About that time Mom died unexpectedly. My sister and I sold the farm. I never went back to see the irises. I just couldn’t bear seeing another family living in our home—Mom’s home. Autumn came, then winter. The following spring, as Mom’s birthday approached, I struggled with the question of how to remember her. I stared out the window and saw a few stubborn irises in my side yard sprouting (發(fā)芽), —tall, thin but flowerless. Because of seeing them, I decided to order flowers as I always did on Mom’s birthday, and send them to my sister. I wished so badly I could still send flowers to Mom. But that was impossible.
In the morning of Mom’s birthday, I was in my car ready to work. Something in the yard caught my eye. The irises! One had bloomed with flowers, big, showy and purple, as lovely as they ever had been on Mom’s farm. I smiled and turned my eyes upward. I could no longer send flowers to Mom. But somehow, she’d been able to send them to me.

A．a(chǎn)ll died quickly
B．didn’t bloom at all
C．grew as well as on Mom’s farm
D．grew better than those on Mom’s farm
小題3:What troubled the author?
A．She didn’t know how to grow irises.
B．She regretted they had sold Mom’s farm.
C．She didn’t know what to do in memory of Mom.
D．She couldn’t bear others living in Mom’s home.
小題4:After seeing the irises sprouting, the author________.
A．decided to send flowers to her sister on Mom’s birthday
B．dug them out because they were flowerless
C．decided to send them to Mom after they bloom
