The sound of Martha's voice on the other end of the telephone always brought a smile to Pastor (牧師) Jim's face. This time,1       ，there seemed to be an unusual tone. He decided to 2        her. When he got to her room,Martha,sick in bed,shared the 3        that her doctor had just told her.

  "He says that I 4        have only six months to live. " Martha's words were naturally serious,yet there was a definite 5 . "I have lived a long life and I'm 6       to go,but I do want to 7        with you about my funeral and about something I want."Martha 8 at Jim with a twinkle in her eye,and then added , " When they 9        me,I want my old Bible in one 10        and a fork in the other."

  "A fork?" Jim was sure that he had heard everything. But this caught him by 11 -  "Why?"

  "I have had so many church 12        these years”，she explained , " but one thing 13        in my mind. At those really 14        gettogether,when the meal was almost finished,a server would come by to 15        the dirty dishes. Somebody 16 always whisper in my ear, 'You can keep your 17       . ，Do you know what that meant? Dessert was 18       !It didn't mean a cup of coffee or something else,because you don't need a fork for that. It meant the good things,like chocolate cake!When they told me I could keep my fork,I knew the 19        was yet to come!At my funeral,people will see the fork and ask why it is in my hand. That's 20       I want you to say. I kept my fork because the best is yet to come!"

1. B把上文的always brought a smile和下文的there seemed to be an unusual tone對比發(fā)現(xiàn),此處應(yīng)為轉(zhuǎn)折,所以用however。

2. D作為牧師他應(yīng)該是去探望有問題的教徒，所以用visit。

3. A當(dāng)牧師到Martha家的時候，發(fā)現(xiàn)她病在床上。她想與牧師share的是她剛從大夫那里獲得的消息，所以用news。

4. C大夫說她還有六個月的時間，生命就要結(jié)束了，但具體時間只能是大概，所以用

probably „

5. A她說這些話的時候很嚴(yán)肅，從"yet"—詞來看，下一句應(yīng)該是轉(zhuǎn)折,而且通過下文看出她把死亡看作一件好事,沒有任何恐県，所以用"鎮(zhèn)定"。

6. C從上文的I have lived a long life來看，她對自己能活到現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)很滿意了，所以她也準(zhǔn)備好離開這個世界了。

11. D從后面的why來看,牧師聽到她要帶著一個fork ,應(yīng)該感到很驚訝，因?yàn)檫@是很少見的選擇，所以對于牧師來說不是興奮、高興等感覺。

12. C從后面的描述來看，都是關(guān)于與大家聚在一起吃飯的內(nèi)容,所以這里選dinners。

13. A從"but one thing"來看，這件事情記憶深刻。stick有"黏住，粘貼"的意思，此處表示

"牢記"。

14. C用nice代表她對每次教堂里的宴會給予好的評價,其他不符合邏輯。

15. A此處表示用完主餐后教堂里的工作人員來清理餐具，所以用collect (收集，集中) ，而不是檢查誰的臟,更不可能當(dāng)場就洗。

16. D would表過去的"總是"，強(qiáng)調(diào)過去經(jīng)常，其他情態(tài)動詞不符合語境。

17. B從上文她提到自己要帶一個餐叉走，以及下文說到要用餐叉吃甜點(diǎn)等來看，這里是想要保留好餐叉。在她看來，這是很美好的事情，因?yàn)檫�有像chocolate cake這樣的好東西。

18. B was coming代表將要來到。其他都要用被動語態(tài)。

19. A The best is yet to come是全文的主題，表示"最好的就要來到了"。此處表達(dá)她面對死亡的樂觀態(tài)度。

科目：高中英語 來源： 題型：

  My good friend Will recently asked for some advice dealing with what he calls" The Rush Hour"：... now between4:00 and5:00 has become the Rush Hour for me: how many proposals,quotes,emails,phone calls can you get out before most people head home? That hour never has enough minutes anymore.

  For many the term" Rush Hour" refers to the mad rush to get home from work and relax,but many people deal with Will's version every day. It's the mad rush to finish everything you need to get done so that you can get into your car and battle the other rush hour.

  Doesn't sound like a very productive way to work or loads of fun now,does it? For me,having anything wait until the last minute can be a major stress and I avoid it whenever possible. So,having trouble with "rush hour" yourself? I've got a few tips that might help.

  A threestep approach can keep tasks from stacking (堆積) up in the last hour of the day.

1. Plan your day.

2. Do easy tasks first.

3. Don't procrastinate. Proper Planning Is Key.

  Planning out your day(and your week and your month) can be a real help. If you take a few minutes early in the day to get a handle on what you need to do you can better manage your time and keep tasks from stacking up. Tackle Easy Stuff First.

  Once you've done your planning,do yourself a favor and set aside some time to clear any small stuff off your plate. The things that tend to pile up at the end of days are usually smaller tasks,and there are usually quite a few of them. Knocking things out early on will help you build a productive momentum (推動力) for your whole day. The Early Bird Gets The Worm.

  The best way to avoid" rush hour" is to be sure you've finished everything early. Make sure you're getting an early start on all your tasks. I'm a huge fan of the quick start; it really does work.

  You don't even have to make significant progress on your tasks. Sometimes even the smallest effort at the beginning can make a ton of difference in the long run. Just remember,every little bit you can get done early is a bit you won't have to deal with during your"rush hour".

(   ) 5. A good suggestion to dealing with "rush hour" is that         .

   A. you'd better finish all the tasks as early as you can

   B. you'd better get a handle on what you need to do after the task

   C. you'd better get home from work earlier than usual

   D. you'd better come to the difficult jobs first

(   ) 6. Which of the following words has the same meaning as the underlined word "procrastinate"?

   A. Delay. B. Produce. C. Obtain. D. Hurry.

(   ) 7. In which of the following situations the" Rush hour" will come to you more often?

   A. When you make some arrangement before the tasks begin.

   B. When you finish your jobs step by step.

   C. When you manage to solve your problem before the deadline.

   D. When you keep the easier thing halfdone for a long time.

(   ) 8. According to the passage,what does the author probably prefer to do?

   A. To leave everything undone until the last moment.

   B. To battle one rush hour after another.

   C. To finish his task whenever possible.

   D. To have an extra work more frequently.

  Farmers may not be able to prevent natural disasters,but they can at least try their best to reduce losses.

  For example,they can plant crops that are more likely to survive extreme weather. In northcentral Vietnam,people with small farms do not plant rice between September and December. Seasonal rains might destroy the rice. So instead,they plant lotus seeds on raised beds. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization says the lotus seeds bring a good price in local markets.

  Farmers in the Philippines are showing new interest in crops like winged beans,string beans,arrowroot and cassava. The Asian Disaster Preparedness Center says traditional crops like these can survive the fierce storms that often strike the islands.

  The United Nations says some African farmers grow bambara groundnuts during long dry periods. The seeds of this droughtresistant plant can be boiled for eating or for making flour.

  In some parts of the world,farmers grow vetiver grass. Researchers in Thailand wrote about vetiver in 2007 in the journal Science Asia. They noted that the grass can absorb and control the spread of harmful waste waters,like those from pig farms.

  Agricultural expert and author William Rivera says vetiver resists difficult conditions. It reduces damage from heavy rains. And vetiver planted on earthen dams may strengthen them against breaks and flooding.

  William Rivera also speaks approvingly of alfalfa. Its deep roots can find and take up groundwater. Those roots also help hold the soil against winds. And alfalfa can be a valuable food source for animals.

The deep and extensive roots of sunflowers make them another good candidate for resisting extreme conditions. The tall plants have brightly colored heads that provide seeds and oil.

  North Dakota grows more hectares of sunflowers than any other American state. But North Dakota is better known as a top wheat producing state.

Hans Kandel works at the North Dakota State University Extension Service in Fargo. He says farmers in some parts of North Dakota plant wheat that is ready to harvest in only about one hundred days. That way it can grow before the hot,dry months of July through September.

(   ) 1. The underlined part "bring a good price in local markets" in the 2nd paragraph implies that lotus seeds         .

   A. can bring the local farmers some profit

   B. will satisfy the needs of the local people

   C. are what the local farmers eat every day

   D. don't sell very well because of their high prices

(   ) 2. Vetiver grass is planted because it can         .

   A. be a valuable food source for animals

   B. survive the fierce storms in summer

   C. provide seeds and oil

   D. be useful in many aspects

(   ) 3. From the last paragraph we can see that the farmers in North Dakota         .

   A. are not hardworking so they are suffering from poverty

   B. are good at taking advantage of the weather conditions

   C. don't have enough knowledge of weather and farming

   D. plant more sunflowers than wheat

(   ) 4. From this passage we may safely conclude that         .

   A. weather conditions are always decisive factors in agriculture

   B. some crops can help farmers to fight against disasters

   C. the species of the world are changing quickly

   D. agriculture is developing fast in the world

  Although women lead healthier,longer lives,the cruel perception that they reach their sellby date and become "old" sooner than men is widespread in the workplace,research shows.

  A survey of more than 2 ,600 managers and personnel professionals showed that age discrimination is not only popular in the workplace,but is shot through with inconsistencies (不協(xié)調(diào)) .

  Six in ten managers reported being a victim of age discrimination―usually because they were turned down for a job for being too old or too young. Yet more than a fifth admitted that they used age as a standard for the new.

  Although the survey found widespread agreement that older workers were better than younger colleagues when it came to reliability,commitment,loyalty and customer service,these qualities were not necessarily considered to be deserving of advancement.

  More than half of respondents believed that workers between 30 and 39 had the best promotion chances,with only 2 percent citing 50-year-olds or above.

Dianah Worman of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development said that there was unpublished evidence that people were considered old at different ages in different sectors.

  "We heard of one man working in IT who said he was considered too old by the age of 28, ”she said.

  There was no evidence to suggest that older workers were less valuable to companies than younger workers,in fact the opposite was often true because older workers often brought experience,she added.

  The findings also suggested that the Government's ideas on age in the workforce may also be out of step with reality.

(   ) 1. According to the passage,in most people's minds,women         .

   A. can live longer than men

   B. have the same chance in promotion as men

   C. become old sooner than men

    D. can't work well as long as men do

(   ) 2. What is the purpose of the writer to write the third paragraph?

   A. To prove there is age discrimination.

   B. To tell us some people's experiences.

   C. To tell us age is very important when people look for jobs.

   D. To tell us not to care about your age wherever you are.

(   ) 3. Compared with younger workers,the older workers         .

   A. are better in reliability,quicker in customer service

   B. have fewer chances to get higher positions in the workplace

   C. are less valuable to companies

   D. are too old to work well

(   ) 4. The underlined sentence quoted by the writer means that         .

   A. it is easy for people working in IT to get old

   B. IT business develops too fast

   C. people working in IT are most young people

   D. the man is tired of his job in IT

People just naturally associate kangaroo,koala and fine beaches with Australia. Yes,you can find many fine sand beaches,white or brown,to enjoy the sunshine and seaside breeze. However,in Queensland,the eastern state of Australia,a night beach tour at this time of year may bring you a more exciting sight of the miracle of life：You can watch hatching baby turtles making their first steps in a natural environment.

On Mon Repos beach,about 14 kilometers east of the city of Bundaberg in Queensland,Australia,lies Mon Repos Conservation Park.

By day,Mon Repos beach is a sweeping bay of brown sand,a quiet spot for people to sunbathe,surf and fish.

By night,it's home to the largest concentration of endangered marine turtles on the eastern Australian mainland. And the miracle of egglaying and hatching occurs from around mid October to the end of April every year. 

In order not to disturb the turtles,tourists have to follow the instruction of the guides. But this may make the tour more like an adventure：Tourists are usually told to huddle (crowd) close together,hold hands and walk close to the shoreline in the dark.

At the start of the season (October and November) ，tourists can view turtles laying their eggs. Nature turtles first use all four flippers to dig a body pit in the sand and then lay eggs in it. It's not uncommon for a turtle to lay more than 100 eggs at a time. And her mission isn't done until she uses her flippers to flick sand and cover the nest.

If you go there at the end of the season (March to April) ，you can see groups of hatchings walk down to the water. It is an astonishing sight as the small creatures,barely two minutes old,race instinctively to the sea.

If they survive,the same hatchings will return in 50 years' time to lay eggs on the very beach where they first emerged (出現(xiàn)) .

(   ) 5. The first paragraph is intended to         .

   A. recommend the readers to have a holiday in Australia

   B. give the readers an idea of the different sceneries of Australia

   C. draw the readers' attention to the topic of this article

   D. show that Australia has a variety of animals

(   ) 6. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

   A. A turtle can usually lay 100 eggs at a time.

   B. If you go to the beach in October,you can see turtles lay eggs.

   C. Turtles usually lay eggs when they are 50 years of age.

   D. It's quite dangerous for the tourists to watch the turtles at night by the seashore.

(   ) 7. Which of the following shows the correct relationship of the three places?

(M = Mon Repos Conservation Park; Q = Queensland;B = Bundaberg)

(   ) 8. Which of the following words may be used to replace the underlined word "flick" in the 6th paragraph?
