We were on the way from Hutchinson to Chicago for a short spring break. For many years I had wanted to take my family on the train. We all had been to Chicago four years ago, and the kids loved it. Chicago is one of my favorite cities, too, so the thought struck me again last fall to ride the train to Chicago. Of course, flying would have been faster. But I don’t think flying is easier, especially these days, with all the security and waiting in lines at airports.
Though we were tired in the middle of the night, the kids got on the train with the exhilaration of this adventure. “We’re moving,” my son William shouted happily with big eyes as the train began to pull away from the Hutchinson station.
I removed my shoes and lay down to try to finish my night’s sleep. The sleeper car would have better enabled that, but the ordinary train seats were not too bad. An airline flight is a more miserable experience for me: not enough room, two hours of pain with my knees almost touching my chin, the hard seatback in front cracking my kneecaps (膝蓋) with every move of the body planted in front of me. On the train I could almost outstretch all of my 6-foot-2-plus body in the generous legroom.
The journey didn’t feel at all as long as it was. We all found the train ride a joy. The car ride would have felt every minute of 13 hours. But on the train you are free to walk around, sit in the observation carriage for a while and enjoy the scenery out the windows, have a nice meal in the dining car, read a book, or play a board game.
In short, the train is all about enjoying the trip, which isn’t something I do so much when traveling by airline or by car, when the trip seems more of a mission (任務(wù)) to get there than an experience to enjoy along the way.
Chicago offers much to do for a family. This time, getting there was half the fun.
小題1:We can learn from the first paragraph that _____.
A．the kids love the train journey
B．Chicago is one of the kid’s favorite cities
C．the author didn’t enjoy the long train journey
D．it was the first time that the kids were taken on the train
小題2:What does the underlined word “exhilaration” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Excitement.B．Relaxation.C．Tiredness.D．Worry.
小題3:In the third paragraph, an airline flight experience is mentioned to show _____.
A．a(chǎn)n airline flight is easierB．a(chǎn) train ride is too long
C．a(chǎn)n airline flight is miserableD．a(chǎn) train ride is more comfortable
小題4:Which of the following words best describes the whole family’s feeling about the train journey?
A．Moved.B．Delighted.C．Disappointed.D．Nervous.

Researchers questioned nearly 9,800 people over the age of 50 about their lives and found women were happier than men and enjoy life more in old age.
Dr Elizabeth Breeze, one of the researchers, said that women could become happier as they get older as they no longer have to worry about looking after their families.
She said:“There is a difference between the way men and women view their quality of life and they are influenced by slightly different things. Women are affected negatively by caring for someone else or if they are not in employment but if they see their children and family more they are positively affected.”
“A strange thing happens to male actors, especially movie stars, in my experience,” said Helen Mirren, a 62-year-old Hollywood actress.“A young male actor feels that all the girls want him-he’s a star. As actors get older they bad-tempered for they have lost that sense of being in control of their destiny(命運(yùn)).”
Wealth also helps you live longer with the poorest people more than twice as likely to die earlier than the richest, researchers at University College London discovered. In some age groups. the difference was even greater. The poorest women between 60 and 74 are six times more likely to have died than the richest women of the same age.

A．Why Women Are Happier Than Men in Old Age .
B．How to Live Longer.

D．The Difference between Women and Men in Old Age

A．Men should not worry about looking after their family any more in old age
B．Male actors, especially movie stars are easy to get bad—tempered when they get older and older.
C．The poorest women about the age of 50 can’t live longer than the richest women at the same age.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

If you like bicycling as much as you like playing ball and can’t seem to decide between the two sports, you may want to consider cycle ball—a fun sport that adopts the key attributes from both activities and transforms it into a totally new game..
Also known as red ball, the game was invented in 1893 by German laborers who wished to play polo(馬球), but could not afford horses. While the sport has not caught on in North America, it is very fashionable in Europe and even Japan.
Played in an indoor court, cycle ball is similar to soccer in many ways—the aim is to score as many goals as possible, and only the goalkeeper is allowed to touch the ball.
The one big difference? Use of legs is forbidden. Instead, players have to guide the ball across the court, using the front wheels of their bicycles or with their heads. In fact, if a player even touches the floor with his feet during the 14-minute game, it is considered a foul(犯規(guī)) and the opposing team gets a free kick.
While the game was initially(最初) played with normal bikes, things are a little different now. The seats of these specialized bikes are positioned over the back tire and they sport a single fixed gear, making it easier for the rider to control the constant back and forth movement required for the game. The handlebars(車把) also point straight up so that the competitors can sit upright while playing and they are about twice the weight of normal bikes, which helps with the stability.
While cycle ball may sound a little strange, it is a fast-paced sport that requires much training, skill, and, is also really fun to watch.
小題1:What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．The origin and development of soccer
B．The differences between cycle ball and soccer.
C．The most popular sports game in the world.
D．A new and fun sports game—cycle ball
小題2:What does the underlined phrase “caught on” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．turned upB．hung upC．come aboutD．become popular
小題3:What can we know about cycle ball?
A．It is a fast-paced game played in an indoor court
B．It was invented in 1893 by poor British people.
C．It is another name of soccer played by many people.
D．It is a strange game played with normal bikes.
小題4:It can be known from the passage that __________.
A．every player who is playing cycle ball is allowed to touch the ball.
B．the aim of playing cycle ball is to score as many goals as possible.
C．if a player touches the floor with his feet, the opposing team will win
D．heads are not allowed to be used to guide the ball across the court.
小題5:Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A．Cycle ball is popular both in Japan and other Asian countries.
B．The cycle ball game is popular all over the world.
C．A cycle ball game takes 14 minutes.
D．Cycle ball has to be played with heads, legs or the front wheels.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

It’s a Friday night. Your girl friends are out at a bar and your boyfriend is playing soccer with his mates. Two text messages later, you’re eating pizza and watching action movies with three guy friends. Perfect.
“Guy friends” have the potential to enrich your life in ways that female friends and boyfriends just can’t. For starters, they provide an insider’s perspective on how men think, feel and behave. When dealing with male relatives, coworkers and even boyfriends, another man’s point of view can be incredibly useful. Three hours spent analyzing a situation in a café with your girlfriends can’t compete with a quick chat to a guy friend.
Many women find that time spent with male friends can be a liberating and somewhat refreshing break from spending time with the girls. Without the judgmental gaze of other females, there is less pressure to dress up and compete for attention.
Traditionally, girl-guy friendships are seen as hard to maintain. Most relationships between males and females that we come across in our day-to-day lives, whether in movies or books, are romantic by nature. These cultural images make girl-guy friendships seem impossible.
Yet in reality, as gender roles loosen and equality becomes a norm in the workplace, it has become much more common for platonic friendships to blossom.
“The belief that men and women can’t be friends comes from another era in which women were at home and men were in the workplace, and the only way they could get together was for romance,” explains psychologist Linda Sapadin to Psychology Today magazine. “Now they work together and share sports interests and socialize together.”
“My boyfriend has met all of my guy friends so he’s quite accepting of me hanging out with them,” says Nellie. “Because we’ve been dating so long, there’s a level of trust where he knows I will make the right decision when choosing who to be friends with.
“He understands that the kind of time that I spend differs between guys and girls. When I’m out with the girls, we’re gossiping or talking about clothes but when I’m spending time with the guys, it’s different. I think their carefree and ‘whatever goes’ attitude can sometimes be exactly what I need.”
小題1:  What is the best title of the passage?
A．Platonic friendship can be fun and liberating.
B．Platonic friendship can take the place of boy-or-girl friendship.
C．Man friendship is far more exciting than woman friendship.
D．Both man friendship and woman friendship are necessary forgirls.
小題2:  In writer’s opinion, girl-guy friendships_________
A．a(chǎn)re hard to maintain in modern society.
B．a(chǎn)re impossible for most boys and girls.
C．a(chǎn)re quite reasonable and thought highly of by most people.
D．a(chǎn)re quite interesting and accepted by more and more and moregirls.
小題3: Why did people think men and women can’t be friends in the past?
A．Becausemen were at home and women were in the workplace.
B．Becauseboth men and women are too shy to make friends.

Are you the type of person who always says“yes”？I’ve come to learn that it is very im-portant to learn to say NO！It’s okay. People are still going to like you. They may even respect you more because they know you are honest.
I，m not saying to say“no" to someone who really needs your help. I’m talking about re-fusing that meeting that you really do not want to attend or that birthday party that you don’t want to be a guest at.
Think for a moment how you feel when you say YES to something that you really don’t want to do. If you’re like I once was，you can’t sleep at night and you think about it too much. It weighs on your mind. You try to find ways out. Whatever you’re saying to yourself，if you really wanted to go，you wouldn’t have all of these thoughts.
So，why not just say NO from the beginning? Maybe you feel like if you don’t show up at the meeting（by the way，it is not one you must attend) your boss isn’t going to like you or your co-workers won’t respect you. Maybe you feel as if your mom，dad or sisters won’t love you as much if you don’t do everything for them that they ask every occasion.
If these people are your true friends，family members，or a good boss，they will like or love you the same no matter what. People treat you the way you teach them to，and if you’re some-one who always says“yes" then that’s what they，re expecting.
You need to do what is right for you. Of course we do have real obligations in life to ful-fill，but we do not have to do everything others want us to do.
