科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源： 題型：

 Many people have seen Harry Potter and The Halfblood Prince since it came out last July. And just like the readers of the Harry Potter books,the theater audience have included children,teenagers,and adults.

  The Halfblood Prince is the sixth Harry Potter movie,and is based on the sixth in the se?ries of seven books written by the author J. K. Rowling. The story of the final book,The Deathly Hallows,is going to be told in not one but two movies,which will come out in 2010 and 2011.

  In some ways,The Halfblood Prince is just like the other stories：Harry is again the hero fighting against the forces of evil,a lot of the action takes place at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry,and there are familiar things such as the game of Quidditch (sort of like soccer,although it is played in the sky and the players ride on broomsticks) .

  One of the differences with this movie is that we see less of the evil wizard Lord Voldemort,but there is still a lot of evil in the story―in fact,most movie critics say The Halfblood Prince feels "darker" than the other movies because you can feel the presence of Voldemort most of the time.

  This is certainly true at the beginning of the movie,when there is an attack on London by Voldemort's followers,the "Death Eaters". Like a few other things in the movie,this was not in the book of The Halfblood Prince,and might therefore be a surprise for many Harry Potter fans.

  Another difference is that the movie spends more time looking at the relationships between the students at Hogwarts. Harry,Ron,Hermione,and the others are now teenagers rather than children―there is even a little romance in the story.

  Daniel Radcliffe,19, Harry Potter in the movie,said he will be "very sad" when the series movies end,but also excited because he will be able to play different roles.

(   ) 1. We can learn from the passage that         .

   A. the focus of the final movie is to be " romance"

   B. Daniel will play different roles in the final movie

   C. There will be eight Harry Potter series of movies in all

   D. J. K. Rowling wrote about an attack on London in the sixth book

(   ) 2. The passage is mainly about         .

   A. the popularity of J. K. Rowling

   B. The Deathly Hallows,the final book

   C. the sixth movie of Harry Potter series

   D. the differences between the sixth movie and the final one

(   ) 3. "The Death Eaters" in Paragraph 5 are         .

   A. part of the evil side   B. heroes against Voldemort's followers

   C. Harry Potter's fans   D. new friends in the Hogwarts School

(   ) 4. What mainly makes the sixth movie of the series different from the others?

   A. The main characters have grown up.

   B. The game of Quidditch can't be seen in it.

   C. The less presence of Voldemort makes viewers feel easier.

   D. Harry Potter develops a friendship with Ron and Hermione.

   Breaking the Code One school night this month I walked quietly up to Alexander,my 15-year-old son,and touched his cheek gently in a manner I hoped would seem casual. A year ago he would have ignored this disturbance but now he reacted impatiently and leaned back to his computer screen.

  I made a mistake：breaking into my teenager's personal space. "The average teenager has pretty strong feelings about his privacy," Lara Fox and her friend Hilary Frankel told me. Ms. Frankel and Ms. Fox,both17,are the authors of Breaking the Code,a new book that seeks to bridge the generational divide between parents and adolescents. It is being promoted by its publisher as the first selfhelp guide by teenagers for their parents,a kind of "Kids Are from Mars,Parents Are from Venus'1 that explains the language and actions of teenagers. The girls dealt with issues including hanging out late,money,school pressures,smoking etc.

  Personally,I welcome their opinions. The most common missteps (失策) in interacting with teenagers arise from the war between parents exercising their rights to know what goes on under their roof and teenagers firmly guarding their privacy. Teenagers can be quick to interpret their parents' remarks and respond with anger that masks their vulnerability (脆弱) . Ms. Fox said," What we want above all is your approval. Don't forget,no matter how much we act as if we don't care what you say,we believe the things you say about us."

  Nancy,a New York childraising expert said she didn't agree with everything the authors suggested but found their arguments reasonable. "When your kids are saying, ' You don't get it,and you never will , ，there are lots of ways to respond so that they will listen and that is what the writers point out."

  "My parents helped me see that,”Ms. Fox told me,"even though they used to stay out late and ride their bicycles to school,times have changed and the way parents educate children is different. These days there is a major fear factor in bringing up kids. Parents worry about their child crossing the street."The writers said they hoped simply to throw light on teenage thinking.

(   ) 1. Why does the author mention the book"Kids Are from Mars,Parents Are from 'Venus17？

   A. It is one of the bestsellers.

   B. It is also written by the two girls.

   C. The two books have the similar theme.

   D. The two books have different opinions.

(   ) 2. The underlined sentence" You don't get it,and you never will" in the 4th paragraph implies that         .

   A. the teenagers don't want to admit their weakness

   B. the teenagers think that their parents will never understand them

   C. the parents do not necessarily force into the world of their children

   D. the generation gap cannot be shortened despite their parents' efforts

(   ) 3. It can be inferred from the last paragraphs that         .

   A. teenagers should guard their privacy

   B. Nancy totally agrees with the two girls' opinions

   C. parents are more concerned about children's safety

   D. the two girls have obtained numerous support from the public

(   ) 4. According to the two girls,teenagers nowadays are         .

   A. independent   B. intelligent   C. sensitive   D. inconsiderate

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源： 題型：

 It is well that young men should begin at the beginning and occupy the most subordinate (下級(jí)的) positions. Many of the leading businessmen of Pittsburgh had a serious responsibility thrust upon them at the very beginning of their career. They were introduced to the broom,and spent the first hours of their business lives sweeping out the office. It does not hurt the newest comer to sweep out the office if necessary. I was one of those sweepers myself.

  My advice to you is "aim high". I would not give advice for the young man who does not already see himself the partner or the head of an important firm. Do not rest content for a moment in your thoughts as head clerk,or foreman,or general manager in any concern. Say to yourself, "My place is at the top. " Be king in your dreams.

And here is the prime condition of success,the great secret：concentrate your energy,thought,and capital exclusively (專有地) upon the business in which you are engaged.

  The concerns which fail are those which have distributed their capital,which means that they have distributed their brains also. They have investments in this,or that,or the other,here there,and everywhere. "Don't put all your eggs in one basket" is all wrong. I tell you to " put all your eggs in one basket,and then watch that basket."Look round you and take notice,men who do that not often fail. It is easy to watch and carry the one basket. It is trying to carry too many baskets that breaks most eggs in this country. He who carries three baskets must put one on his head,which is easy to fall and trip him up. One fault of the American businessman is lack of concentration.

  To summarize what I have said: aim for the highest;never enter a bar room; do not touch alcohol drinks,or if at all only at meals;never risk; never indorse ( = endorse,簽名于票據(jù)的背面，贊同) beyond your surplus (盈余的) cash fund; make the firm's interest yours;break orders always to save owners;concentrate;put all your eggs in one basket,and watch that basket;expense always within income;lastly,be not impatient,for as Emerson says , " No one can cheat you out of final success but yourselves."

(   ) 1. In the second paragraph "aim high" means that         .

   A. expand your business no matter how much it will cost

   B. you don't need to begin your career with the basic position

   C. don't be satisfied with the achievements you've already got

   D. only devote your money to those which can bring you a lot of profits

(   ) 2. Which is not suggested by the writer?

   A. Ambition. B. Generosity.

   C. Concentration. D. Patience.

(   ) 3. What does "eggs" here refer to?

   A. Money. B. Energy. C. Brains. D. All above.

(   ) 4. The best title of the passage should be         .

   A. The Road to Success

   B. Tips on Investigation

   C. Keep Your Money Properly

   D. Be King in Your Dreams

  Having visited my two children,I left the hospital and headed for the grocery store,truly exhausted. Today I had passed CPR(嬰兒心肺復(fù)蘇術(shù)) exam required before I could take 8-week-old Joel home from the hospital. However,I still worried about performing CPR in a moment of crisis.

  For the past several days,I'd been trying to accept my 6-year-old daughter Jenna's diagnosis,juvenile diabetes (兒童糖尿病) .In addition to the CPR exam,I'd spent the day reviewing how to test Jenna's blood and give her insulin (豉島素) shots. Now I was buying the food to balance the insulin that would sustain Jenna's life.

  I grabbed my purse,locked the car and went into the store. The first thing I needed to pick up was a grain box,but it had to be "sugar free"，so I chose a box of Kellogg's Corn Flakes and continued shopping.

  Eventually,I walked down the canned fruit and juice section looking for apple juice. I wasn't sure how much I would need to keep Jenna's sugar up. I grabbed a couple sixpacks and placed them in my cart. Frustrated by feelings of total inadequacy,I crumpled up (揉鈹) my grocery list,and started crying.

  "Honey,are you all right?" a gentle voice asked. Absorbed in my own thoughts,I hadn't even noticed the woman shopping alongside of me. "Honey,are you a little short of cash?" she asked me.

  I slowly dropped my hands from my face and looked into eyes of the silvery haired woman. "I have enough money. I'm here shopping for groceries so that I can bring my children home from the hospital tomorrow. " I said.

"Home from the hospital!What a celebration,you should have a party！”

  This stranger took my grocery list,smoothed it out,and became my personal shopper. She stayed by my side until each item on my list was checked off. Then with a hug and a smile,she sent me on my way.

  While dragging the groceries into my house I realized the lesson this woman had taught me. "My kids are coming home from the hospital！" I shouted with joy. "Joel is off life support. Jenna and I can learn how to manage her diabetes and give her shots properly. " I giggled (唂唂地笑) to myself. "I have a reason to celebrate！"

(   ) 5. Why did the author cry while shopping?

   A. She had no money to buy groceries for her children.

   B. She was so tired that she couldn't continue shopping.

   C. She felt herself unable to meet life's challenges.

   D. With no family to accompany her,she felt extremely lonely.

(   ) 6. Which of the following is true about the author and her family?

   A. Jenna was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes some years ago.

   B. To please Jenna's,she bought a box of Kellogg's Corn Flakes.

   C. Passing the CPR exam,she was totally relieved with nothing to fear.

   D. She feared that she couldn't attend to her children after they came home.

(   ) 7. What did the lady do when she noticed the author was crying?

   A. She provided the author with financial support.

   B. She comforted and inspired the author to think differently.

   C. She gave the author some advice on how to throw a party.

   D. She accompanied the author to do the shopping and drove her home.

(   ) 8. What lesson has the author probably learned from the woman?

   A. Kindness can make a big difference.

   B. Every tear has a smile behind it.

   C. Look at the positive things in life.

   D. Be brave enough to face life's challenges.

  It was a bitter,cold evening in northern Virginia years ago. An old man was waiting for a ride across the river. The wait seemed endless. His body became stiff from the cold wind.

He heard the faint,steady 1       of approaching hooves (馬蹄) coming along the frozen path. 2      ,he watched as several horsemen 3        the bend. He let the first one pass by,then another and another. Finally,the last rider neared the spot where the old man sat like a snow 4       . As this one drew near,the old man 5        the rider's eye and said, "Sir,would you mind giving an old man a 6       to the other side? There appears no passageway by foot."

The old man 13        himself slowly down from the horse,looked the rider straight in the eyes,and replied, "I've been around here for some time. I 14       I know people pretty good.

  Those heartwarming comments 19        the horseman deeply.

  "I'm most grateful for what you have said," he told the old man. "May I never get too 20        in my own affairs that I fail to respond to the needs of others with kindness and compassion."
