My sister and I grew up in a little village in England. Our father was a struggling   16 , but I always knew he was   17 . He never criticized us, but used   18  to bring out our best. He’d say, “If you pour water on flowers, they flourish. If you don’t give them water, they die.” I   19  as a child I said something   20  about somebody, and my father said, “   21  time you say something unpleasant about somebody else, it’s a reflection of you.” He explained that if I looked for the best   22  people, I would get the best   23 . From then on I’ve always tried to   24   the principle in my life and later in running my company.
Dad’s also always been very   25 . At 15, I started a magazine. It was   26  a great deal of my time, and the headmaster of my school gave me a   27 ：stay in school or leave to work on my magazine.
I decided to leave, and Dad tried to sway me from my decision,   28  any good father would. When he realized I had made up my mind,  he said, “Richard, when I was 23, my dad   29   me to go into law. And I’ve   30  regretted it. I wanted to be a biologist,   31  I didn’t pursue my   32 . You know what you want. Go fulfill it.”
As   33  turned out, my little publication went on to become Student, a national   34  for young people in the U.K.  My wife and I have two children, and I’d like to think we are bringing them up in the same way Dad   35  me.

解析【小題1】考查名詞。根據(jù)第三段my dad 49  me to go into law. And I’ve 50 regretted it. I wanted to be a biologist, 51 I didn’t pursue my  52.可推測(cè)作者接受父親的要求law，沒(méi)有追求自己的夢(mèng)想biologist. 故答案為C.
【小題2】考查形容詞。根據(jù)He never criticized us, but used 38 to bring out our best.“他不是批評(píng)我們，而是用表?yè)P(yáng)顯示出我們是最好的”可知他是“特別的”。故選C.
【小題3】考查名詞。根據(jù)If you pour water on flowers,……及41 time you say something ……及……if I looked for the best 42 people, I would get the best 43.可知“你在別人身上發(fā)現(xiàn)最好的，你才能得到最好的”，學(xué)會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)和學(xué)習(xí)別人的優(yōu)點(diǎn)。所以此處應(yīng)是praise贊揚(yáng)。應(yīng)選A。
【小題4】考查動(dòng)詞。根據(jù)作者的父親說(shuō)as a child I said something……可知是回想，所以應(yīng)選C remember
【小題5】考查形容詞。根據(jù)you say something unpleasant about somebody else, it’s a reflection of you可知，說(shuō)了某人不友好的事情，故選B 項(xiàng)unkind。
【小題6】考查形容詞。根據(jù)from then on I’ve always tried to ……由always可知無(wú)論何時(shí)（any time）故答案選C。
【小題7】考查介詞。身上的優(yōu)點(diǎn)是內(nèi)在的。所以“在身上”應(yīng)用in 而不是on (外在的，身上攜帶的東西，用on)。故選B。
【小題8】考查介詞短語(yǔ)。根據(jù)后文“我總是試圖遵循這個(gè)原則”可知look for the best in people才能get the best“作為回報(bào)”。所以選D。
【小題9】考查動(dòng)詞。習(xí)慣搭配。
【小題10】考查形容詞。根據(jù)下文作者leave to work on my magazine意識(shí)到作者下定決心了，并沒(méi)有象他父親那樣阻止，而是讓作者Go fulfill it�？芍莡nderstanding理解人的。故選A。
【小題11】考查動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)。根據(jù)下文the headmaster gave me a choice: stay in school or leave to work on my magazine可知started the magazine占用大量時(shí)間。故選A taking up。Make up 構(gòu)成，組成; pick up撿起，拿起；接收等；keep up維持，保持。
【小題12】考查名詞。根據(jù)stay in school or leave to work on my magazine中的or 可知是做出選擇。故選D。
【小題13】考查連詞。此處as“正如，正像”指代前面整句話的內(nèi)容，引導(dǎo)非限制性定語(yǔ)從句。
【小題14】考查動(dòng)詞。根據(jù)后文的51 I didn’t pursue my dream和前文的regretted it可知作者的祖父說(shuō)服了作者的父親學(xué)法律。而suggest應(yīng)是suggest sb. doing sth.（注：許多學(xué)生很易選此答案）。故選C。
【小題15】考查副詞。作者父親的“一直”后悔，才讓作者做自己愿意做的事情。如果不后悔，就不會(huì)出現(xiàn)Go fulfill it的結(jié)果。故應(yīng)該肯定得說(shuō)是后悔的，而其它選項(xiàng)都是否定。所以選A。
【小題16】考查副詞。 I wanted to be a biologist與后面的didn’t pursue可知是轉(zhuǎn)折，故選B.
【小題17】考查名詞。 wanted to be a biologist只能稱為dream，而不是promise（諾言）和belief（信仰）
【小題18】考查代詞。As it turned out接Go fulfill it（dream），兩者中的it 都指開(kāi)辦雜志的夢(mèng)想。“正如我的夢(mèng)想所實(shí)現(xiàn)的結(jié)果那樣，我的出版物后來(lái)命名為student，一個(gè)國(guó)家級(jí)雜志”故選C。
【小題19】考查名詞。根據(jù)前文作者的dream是start a magazine可知本題應(yīng)選B。
【小題20】考查動(dòng)詞。raise等同于bring sb up“養(yǎng)育”�！拔覀冋谟酶赣H養(yǎng)育我的方式來(lái)養(yǎng)育我們的孩子。故本題選D。

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源： 題型：閱讀理解

I had the meanest mother in the whole world．While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal, eggs or toast．When others had cokes and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich．As you can guess, my supper was different from the other kids' also．But at least, I wasn't alone in my sufferings．My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did．

My mother insisted upon knowing where we were at all times．She had to know who our friends were and where we were going．We had to wear clean clothes and take a bath everyday．

The worst is yet to come．We had to be in bed by nine each night and up at eight the next morning．We couldn't sleep till noon like our friends．So while they slept --- my mother actually had the nerve to break the Child Labor Law．She made us work．We had to wash dishes, make beds, learn to cook and all sorts of cruel things．I believe she lay awake at night thinking up mean things to do to us．

Through the years, things didn't improve a bit．We could not lie in bed, "sick" like our friends did, and miss school．Our marks in school had to be up to par．Our friends' report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing．My mother, being as different as she was, would settle for nothing less than ugly black marks．With our mother behind us, talking, hitting and demanding respect, none of us was allowed the pleasure of being a drop-out．

My mother was a complete failure as a mother．Out of four children, a couple of us attained some higher education．None of us have ever been arrested or divorced．Each of my brothers served his time in the service of this country．She forced us to grow up into God-fearing, educated, honest adults．Using this as a background, I am now trying to raise my three children．I am filled with pride when my children call me mean．Why? Because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the whole world．

What can we infer from the passage?

       A．The author is not happy to have such a mean mother．      

       B．The author's mother broke the Child Labor Law to make money．

       C．The author's mother failed to educate her children to be honest adults．

       D．The author is strict with her children．

Why couldn’t the author eat candy for breakfast?

     A．Because she preferred cereal, eggs or toast to candy．

     B．Because her mother couldn’t afford for candy．

     C．Because her mother thought it not good to eat candy for breakfast．

     D．Because her mother had to give candy to the author’s sister and two brothers．

The author’s mother made her children work because _________ ．

     A．she had trouble falling into sleep．

     B．she could not keep such a big family without her children’s help．

     C．she was teaching her children to live by themselves．

     D．she had no time to do the housework．

Last winter, when I was heavily pregnant, I was visiting my sister and brother-in-law's house and had to park in a nearby parking lot because they didn't have accessible parking. The snow was extremely heavy and there was lots of ice on the ground --- not many people had ventured out that evening!

When I returned to my car around 11pm, I noticed that I was the only car left. Nervously, I hopped into the car and let it warm up a bit. When I finally tried to drive away, my wheels began to spin. I was stuck! I spun and spun and wondered what to do.

All of a sudden, in my rear view mirror, I saw four teen-aged boys approaching my car. They were walking side by side in a line and dressed a bit like gang members --- at least I thought that's what they looked like. My car was in a very isolated area and I began to panic. I was certain they were coming to my car to harm me. Terrified, I just froze. One of the young men tapped on my window and said "Excuse me, Ma'am, can we help you? You seem stuck." Still afraid and fearing the worst, I said "I am stuck." And the young man said "It's okay, stay in your car and we'll push you out of the snow." And they did!

When they finally got me out of the snow, they smiled and waved. I rolled down my window and thanked them, embarrassed to have judged them so poorly.

1.Why did the author just freeze when the four young men walking toward her car?

A．Because she was afraid of being harmed.

B．Because she sat in her car for too long a time.

C．Because she was cold indeed in that freezing evening.

D．Because she knew they would rob her of the car.

2.Which of the following words can best describe the four young men?

A．Impolite.

B．Ill-mannered.

C．Unfriendly

D．Warm-hearted.

3.Which of the following is true according to the text?

A．One of the four teenagers was a gang member.

B．The kids wanted to help the author out of trouble.

C．The author would have a baby in her car.
