There was once a lonely girl who longed so much for love.One day while she was walking in the woods she found two starving songbirds.She took them home and put them in a small cage，caring them with love.Luckily，the birds grew strong little by little.Every morning they greeted her with a wonderful song.The girl felt great love for the birds.
One day the girl left the door to the cage open accidentally.The larger and stronger of the two birds flew from the cage.The girl was so frightened that he would fly away so as he flew close，she grasped him wildly.Her heart felt glad at her success in capturing him.Suddenly，she felt the bird go limp，so she opened her hand and stared in horror at the dead bird.It was her desperate love that had killed him.
She noticed the other bird moving back and forth on the edge of the cage.She could feel his strong desire－needing to fly into the clear，blue sky.Unwillingly，she lifted him from the cage and tossed him softly into the air.The lucky bird circled once，twice，three times.
The girl watched delightedly at the bird.Her heart was no longer concerned with her loss.What she wanted to see was that the bird could fly happily.Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder.It sang the sweetest tune that she had ever heard.
Remember，the fastest way to lose love is to hold on it too tight；the best way to keep love is to give it wings!
小題1:After the girl found the two birds，she________．
A．became delighted at once
B．treated them for a long time
C．took them to their home
D．fed them and raised them
小題2:Why did the girl grasp the stronger bird wildly?
A．Because the girl disliked the bird any longer.
B．Because the bird wanted to fly alone.
C．Because the girl loved the bird deeply.
D．Because the bird intended to found some food.
小題3:The underlined word “tossed” in the passage means________．
A．throw someting with slightly force
B．give up something happily
C．hold something fast
D．cast something without patient
小題4:What can we learn from the passage?
A．Catch what you can catch on your way to success.
B．Going too far is as bad as not going far enough.
C．The best things come when you least expect them to.
D．A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

小題1:D
小題2:C
小題3:A
小題4:B
愛(ài)需要空間，缺乏空間的愛(ài)只會(huì)讓愛(ài)窒息。
小題1:D　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章首段中的第二句“she found two starving songbirds.She took them home and put them in a small cage，caring them with love.”可知小鳥(niǎo)是餓的要死，然后她把他們帶回家養(yǎng)了起來(lái)。
小題2:C　推理判斷題。從第二段的第三句“The girl was so frightened that he would fly away”可推知，她怕心愛(ài)的鳥(niǎo)兒飛走了，因此才用力的抓住了它。
小題3:A　詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)劃線詞所在的段落可知，女孩雖然不情愿，但是已經(jīng)意識(shí)到了小鳥(niǎo)對(duì)天空的向往，因此她把鳥(niǎo)兒從籠中取出并輕輕地把它拋向了天空。
小題4:B　歸納概括題。從文章過(guò)程及文章的主旨段(最后一段)可知：要給愛(ài)以空間，否則會(huì)過(guò)猶不及。

Some time ago，I was diagnosed with breast cancer and reacted in the way most people would.The first thing came to mind was a “death sentence”.  However，I found out later it was truly “an awakening” for me，especially after being diagnosed with colon cancer a few years later，but still alive to tell about them both.I began to question God.Why was I chosen to suffer this double challenge？What had I done in life so bad to have this placed upon me？I was unhappy with the way I look and the intolerant pain I had to experience each day，but instead of sighing over my fate，I decided to look on the positive sides of it.
I knew that I was about to face a new beginning，new hope，do and see more with a whole new perspective on life.I also began thinking of the individuals that are no longer among us and how there will always be someone worse off than I am.Who am I to complain？I still have my life.
During my treatments，I experienced something of a miracle that I had to write down.I took that experience and turned it into a poem and I called it “Peace”．I took that poem along with many others I had composed during my breast cancer period and submitted them for publication.The book of poems was accepted and published under the title “True Simple Poems of Life，F(xiàn)aith and Survival”．
I continue to write and hope that my poetry may encourage other unfortunate people and my writing continues to give me strength.I've had another inspirational children's book published called “If Only I Could Fly，Said Mattie­bee”．
I would never have become a writer，producing inspirational stories，if I had not gone through all that I did.I'm a true example that you can survive cancer，not once，but twice，providing that you catch it in time.It won't all be easy，but you must have faith and allow that faith to direct your path.
I truly believe when you survive a terrible tragedy or a horrible disease like cancer，it's for a reason—you have a purpose，and I want to live and find out exactly what that is for me.
小題1:How did the author feel about her disease at first?
A．Optimistic.　B．Pessimistic.
C．Confident.D．Discontented.
小題2:When did the author begin to notice the positive sides of her tragedy?
A．After she was diagnosed with colon cancer.
B．After she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
C．After she wrote her first poem.
D．After she became a writer.
小題3:In the author's opinion，________.
A．no one is luckier than her
B．God doesn't treat everyone fairly
C．writing poetry is the best way to deal with cancer
D．being alive is lucky for her
小題4:We can know from the passage that ________.
A．the author developed breast cancer a few years after colon cancer
B．writing only helped the author alone
C．the author wrote stories as well as poems
D．If Only I Could Fly，Said Mattie­bee is a poem

The other day when I was passing a clothing store, I fell in love with a skirt. I knew it would suit me best at first sight. But when I looked at the price tag (標(biāo)簽), I knew I had to give it up.
The love for beautiful clothes has been planted in my heart the day when I was born to be a woman. Several years ago I read an article in a magazine. The article stated that when a woman is at her best time, she is usually poor or tasteless, so she can’t get the right clothes; when she can afford to buy the clothes she likes, she often finds that they do not suit her anymore.
On the way home, I was quite disturbed by such thoughts. It was just a pity, like many other pities. I thought to myself this way. But when I was about to enter the building where I was living, I saw the big mirror placed in the entrance. I saw a girl in it who was in cheap but cleanly washed sweater and jeans. She was rather young, healthy and energetic. For quite a while I was touched by what I had seen in the mirror.
Then I almost forgot the tale: A person without shoes cried until he saw a man without feet. Being young without good clothes is like the person without shoes. I should have felt grateful that I haven’t lost my feet.
小題1:How did the author feel when she decided not to buy the skirt?
A．Embarrassed.B．Wise. C．Regretful.D．Relieved.
小題2:The underlined word “She” in Paragraph 3 refers to       .
A．the author’s friend B．a(chǎn) stranger
C．the author’s roommateD．the author
小題3:Why was the author touched by what she saw in the mirror?
A．She came to realize what she really possessed.
B．She was reminded of her devotion to beauty.
C．She didn’t feel at ease when looking into a mirror.
D．She never thought over the other side of a person.
小題4:We can learn from the text that the author considered her love for beautiful clothes as       .
A．funnyB．naturalC．sillyD．simple

I’d meant to go to Miros that day. I’d packed my bag and was ready. The motor-boat       in on time. The sky was cloudy, but the wind wasn’t too strong for the two-hour        . I stood at my window, staring at the boat. Then I lost        of her, an old light-house partly blocked my view of the harbor. A dozen passengers were          their way there. I was about to join them --- when a man’s face          at the light-house window.
This was strange, because the light-house had been empty, unused and         for thirty years. It was stranger still --- because I’d seen that        before. I couldn’t place it but it was, or had once been, familiar to me. I opened my window and        across. “I know we’ve met before, but I can’t remember where.”
I        him to open his if he could and answer me. He did neither. The face behind the glass        motionless (靜止). Seeing him more clearly now, I knew he was not looking at me. He seemed to be looking upwards,        the clouds. How well I’d known that face, sometime, somewhere!
I         again. “We met years ago. Was it in Athens in the 1950s? I used to live in Plaka.”
He didn’t reply nor give any         that he’d heard. I went back further, to        I was in the navy. “Perhaps we met at sea during the war,” and that thought at once         him to mind. Commander Leftis! He was Commander Leftis of course! How could I have forgotten? I’d saved his life once. But surely he …
The motor-boat        her bell. I turned my eyes. The wind had risen, but she was pulling      . Laughing, I called, “Now I’ve missed her, and it’s your        , Commander!”
As the boat drew away, the face at the window faded.        minute it was there. Looking up, I could see the whites of the eyes. The       minute it was gone.
Well, I didn’t rush to the light-house. I knew that Leftis was dead. He died at sea in 1963 or 1964. But there’s one other thing I ought to tell you: the motor-boat never reached Miros. It was lost in a storm, with all the passengers.

A high school history teacher once told us, “If you make one close friend in school, you will be most fortunate. A true friend is someone who stays with you for life.”      teaches that he is right. Good friendship is just not easily   .
It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place long enough for a true friendship to    . However, there can be      disagreement in the need for each of us to think carefully about what kind of friendship we want.
To most of us,     are considered very important, but we need to make it clear in our minds what kind of friendship we want. Are they to be close or      at arm’s length? Do we want to     ourselves or do we want to walk on surface(表面)? For some people, many friendships on the surface are      enough and that’s all right. But at some point we need to make sure that our      are the same as our friends’ expectations. The sharing of     experiences including our tears as well as our dark dreams is the surest way to       friendships. But it must be done slowly and     only if there are signs of interest and action     .
What are some of the    of friendship? The greatest is the attraction to expect too much too soon. Deep relationships     time. Another “main difficulty” is the selfishness to think one “      ” the other, including his time and attention.   , friendships require actions in return. In other words, you must give as      as you take. Finally, there is a question of taking care of. Unless you spend      time together, talking on the phone, writing letters, doing things together, friendships will die     .

Starting a new book is a risk, just like falling in love. You have to ____ to it. You open the pages knowing a little bit about it, maybe from the back or from a blurb（宣傳信息）on the front. But who ____, right? Those bits and pieces aren’t always right.
Sometimes people ____ themselves as one thing and then when you get deep into it you realize that they’re something completely different. Either there was some good marketing ____ to a terrible book, or the story was only explained in a(n) ____ way and once you reach the middle of the book, you realize there’s so much more to this book than anyone could ever have told you.
You start off slow. The story is beginning to ____. You’re unsure. It’s a big commitment reading this tome(巨著). Maybe this book won’t be that great but you’ll feel ____ about putting it down. Maybe it’ll be so awful you’ll set it down immediately and never pick it up again. Or maybe you’ll come back to it some night, drunk or lonely—needing something to ____ the time, but it won’t be any better than it was when you first started reading it.
Maybe you’re ____. You’ve read tons of books before. Maybe you’ve taken some time off from reading because the last few books you read just weren’t ____ it. Do they even write new, great works of literature anymore? Maybe it’s a once in a lifetime feeling and you’re never going to find it again.
Or something ____ could happen. Maybe this will become your new favorite book. There’s always a possibility, right? That’s the ____ of risk. You ____ your time and your brain power in the words and what you get back is a new understanding and pure wonder.
How could someone possibly know you like this? Some stranger, some author, some character. It’s like they’re seeing inside your ____. This book existed inside some book store, on a shelf, maybe handled by other people and really it was just ____ for you to pick it up. It was waiting to speak to you. To say, “You are not ____.”
You just want more of the story. You want to keep reading, maybe everything this author has ever ____. You wish it would never end. The closer it gets to the smaller side of the pages, the  ____ you read, wanting to savor(品味) it all. This book is now one of your favorites forever. You will always wish you could go back to ____ having read it and pick it up fresh again, but also you know you’re better for having this close, inside you, ____ your heart and mind.
Reading a book is just like falling in love. Once you get in deep enough, you know you could never put this book down.

How many of us have heard that question, "Where was GOD when the World Trade Center(世貿(mào)中心) and the Pentagon(五角大樓) were attacked?" Well, I know where my GOD was the morning of September 11, 2001, and He was very busy!
He was trying to discourage anyone from taking these flights. Those four flights together held over 1000 passengers and there were only 266 aboard.
He was on 4 commercial flights giving frightened passengers the ability to stay calm. Not one of the family members who were called by a loved one on one of the hijacked(被劫持的) planes said that passengers were screaming in the background. On one of the flights he was giving strength to passengers to try to overtake the hijackers.
He was busy trying to create obstacles(阻礙) for employees at the World Trade Center. After all, only around 20,000 were at the towers when the first jet hit. Since the buildings held over 50,000 workers, this was a Miracle in itself. How many of the people who were employed at the World Trade Center told the media that they were late for work or they had traffic delays.
He was holding up 2-110 story buildings so that 2/3 of the workers could get out. I was so amazed that the top of the towers didn't fall when the jets crashed. And when they did fall, GOD made them fall inward, as many more lives would have been lost.
So when anyone asks, "Where was your GOD on September 11," you can say "everywhere"! And yes, although this is without a doubt the worst thing I have seen in my life, I see God's miracles in every bit of it. I can't imagine going through such a difficult time and not believing in GOD – life would be hopeless. So shines a good deed in a weary world!
小題1:In what way the author tried to prove his point in the passage?
A．By telling a story.B．By giving examples.
C．By answering questions.D．By performing experiments.
小題2:Which one of the following is TURE according to the passage?
A．There were three planes together hijacked in the attack.
B．The passengers on the planes were not frightened at all.
C．Many people working at WTC were delayed by traffic jams on Set. 11.
D．Many more people were killed in the buildings than we could imagine.
小題3:What’s the meaning of the underlined word “Miracle” in the context?
A．something funnyB．something important
C．something reliableD．something unbelievable
小題4:Which of the following can serve as the best title of the passage?
A. Everyone has a GOD.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

During my high school years, the most important thing was what I was wearing to the Friday night dance and who I was taking. Although college was talked about, it was the least of my worries. 
When I was graduating eighth grade and starting high school, my older brother was graduating twelfth grade and going onto college. For my graduation, he gave me a card in which he wrote, “Enjoy your four years…, they go by fast.” I remember not believe him then, but looking back…, he was right. Those four years shaped who I was as a person, pushed me to my limit and encouraged me to become an adult. 
However, I was so completely absorbed in my junior and senior years of high school, that when someone spoke of college I brushed it off. I wasn't ready to leave my comfort zone of having all of my closest friends together and knowing what every single day was going to be like . Studying was something I did only AFTER I nailed my half-time dance performance. I knew my parents wanted me to go to college, so I told them I would go to commuity college (社區(qū)學(xué)院)and I didn’t worry about my SAT（美國(guó)大學(xué)入學(xué)考試）scores. 
When my senior year passed and everyone graduated and went off to their own college ,I started to wish I had done the same. My friends were living away, meeting new people, discovering new places, and I was living at home and driving to and from class every day. It seemed exactly like high school. I hated it! I thought college was supposed to be different! Why didn’t I take more time to research colleges and do the same? I ended up loving college and wishing I had four years to enjoy the campus(大學(xué)校園)atmosphere instead of two. 
My advice to anyone thinking about attending college is to think about it very seriously and look into all of your choices well ahead of time. Now I have graduate and I am working full time and I would do anything to go back to my high school days for a second chance!
小題1:Why didn’t the author worry about his SAT scores? 
A．He wanted to go to community college.

小題2:When in high school, the author          .
A．drove to and from class every day
