The winds had finally died down,and the rains stopped.Paige and her parents were inside their house,sitting in the living room,which was dark except for a single candlelight.
“Let’s find out what’s going on outside,”Paige’s mom suggested as she turned on the small radio.
“…h(huán)as moved out of the area,”an announcer’s voice boomed. “Winds reaching nearly 100 miles an hour passed through our town this morning. But,the worst is over,and it is safe to go outside.In fact,the sun is now peeking out from behind the…”
Suddenly,the radio went dead.The house was quiet again.
“Well,”Paige’s dad said, “at least we heard some good news,even if it was cut short.Let’s look out of the window and survey the damage.”
Paige ran to the window and looked outside.She saw tree branches lie on the lawn.The mailbox was broken,and some of the address letters and numbers on the mailbox were missing.
“The wind must have ripped(擦)them off,” Paige’s father noted.As he read the remaining letters he began to laugh.
The mailbox dispalyed “_ _RAIN.”
“It says “rain”,”Paige said. “That’s appropriate for a day like today!”

A．a(chǎn)n earthquakeB．a(chǎn) hurricaneC．a(chǎn) floodD．a(chǎn) fire

小題1:B
小題1:C

小題1:C 細(xì)節(jié)題：從第一段的句子：which was dark except for a single candlelight.
可以看出是停電了。
小題1:C 推理題：從倒數(shù)第三段的句子：Paige’s father noted.As he read the remaining letters he began to laugh.看出家人是輕松了。
小題1:A推理題：從文章的最后句子“It says “rain”,”Paige said. “That’s appropriate for a day like today!”看出，郵箱上寫著家庭的姓，只有rain，那可能他們的姓是rain。

One cold night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco．There I was walking home around one o’clock in the morning after a  1 practice at the theatre. With the opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines by heart. I was having   2 handling my part-time job at the bank in the daytime and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about  3 both acting and San Francisco. I had  4 too much of city life.
As I walked down the  5 streets under the tall buildings, I felt very small and cold, so I began  6 both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few homeless people under blankets.
About a block from my  7 , I heard a sound behind me. I   8  quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me  9 ，so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I   10 what the noise had been. It had been my wallet  11 to the sidewalk.
Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk   12 for 15 minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.
Just as I was about to quit the  13 , I heard the garbage truck stop to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice came from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened and out jumped a small blonde man with an  14 look in his eyes. “Is this what you’re looking for?” He asked, holding up a wallet.
It was already 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I couldn’t get much sleep, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some  15 of city life. I realized the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self-respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized(把…歸類) as "honor" help you create this life of good feelings.
Here's an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.
Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk's mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky(卑鄙的) excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.
Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?
In the first case, where we don't tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate(演示) that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk's attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased.  Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility(高尚).
There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it's easy to think and act honorably again when we're happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it's started, it's easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.
小題1:According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our_______.
A．self-respect B．financial rewardsC．a(chǎn)dvertising abilityD．friendly relationship
小題2:The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to_______.
A．lyingB．stealingC．cheatingD．a(chǎn)dvertising
小題3:The underlined phrase "bringing the error to the clerk's attention" means_______.
A．telling the truth to the clerkB．offering advice to the clerk
C．a(chǎn)sking the clerk to be more attentiveD．reminding the clerk of the charged item
小題4:How will we feel if we let the clerk know her mistake?
A．We'll be very excited.B．We'll feel unfortunate.
C．We'll have a sense of honor.D．We'll feel sorry for the clerk.
小題5:Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A．How to Live TruthfullyB．Importance of Peacefulness
C．Ways of Gaining Self-respectD．Happiness through Honorable Actions

Bears and humans often meet in National Parks. Although campers and hikers are warned not to feed the bears, many people ignore these warnings and feed the beasts anyway. When bears are used to people’s food, problems soon arise.
Bears like to eat a large variety of things, both meat and vegetable. Without human assistance, bears live nicely on roots, twigs, leaves of trees, insects and small animals. With people around, the bears’ tastes quickly expand to include sandwiches, hot dogs, hamburgers, and anything else they can temp humans into giving up.
Bears often develop clever strategies for getting people to let go their food supplies. More often than not, an unsuspecting hiker has taken off his or her pack for a rest only to have a bear charge out of the woods, grab the pack and quickly disappear into the underbrush with it. Hanging the pack on a tree branch won’t help. Bears have been known to climb up, jump off, and catch the pack on the way down. One mother bear stretched up with her baby on her shoulders to reach a pack stored on a pole. Many bears threaten people into giving up their supplies. Although a bear is unlikely to attack a person and would probably run away if screamed at, few people are willing to do so. Most people drop the pack and run the other way. This, of course, delights the bear. In some places, the Park Service installed some metal barrels with lids to help campers keep their supplies safe from bears. Although the bears were unable to open these containers, the effort was less than successful. Most campers, unable to tell the metal drums from rubbish cans, never used them for the intended purpose.
小題1:Feeding bears on people’s food         .
A．brings the people a lot of funB．can cause problems
C．often causes injuries and deathsD．helps bears survive
小題2:If people had never fed bears, the bears        .
A．might be satisfied with what they had originally
B．would have starved long before
C．wouldn’t have enough food supply
D．would have hunted for other kind of food
小題3:Which of the following is TRUE?
A．If fed on sandwiches and hot dogs, the bears would no longer eat roots, twigs and insects .
B．It’s likely that bears would hurt people if the people didn’t give up their food.
C．Most people would frighten away the bears that would temp their food.
D．Seeing a pack, the bear would quickly snatch it and run away with it.
小題4:Bear-proof containers didn’t work because         .
A．bears were clever enough to get the food in them
B．they were left open in the open air
C．people were not sure of their use
D．they were once used as rubbish cans
