Lightning flashed through the darkness over Donald Lubeck’s bedroom skylight. The 80-year-old retired worker was shaken by a blast of thunder. It was 11 p.m. The storm had moved directly over his two-story wood home in the rural town of Belchertown, Massachusetts. Then he heard the smoke alarm beeping. Lubeck padded down the stairs barefoot and opened the door to the basement, and flames exploded out.

Lubeck fled back upstairs to call 911 from his bedroom, but the phone didn’t work. Lubeck realized he was trapped. “I started panicking(恐慌),” he says.

His daughter and young granddaughters, who lived with him, were away for the night. “No one will even know I’m home, ” he thought. His house was three miles off the main road and so well hidden by pines that Lubeck knew calling for help would be fruitless.

Up a hill about a third of a mile away lived Lubeck’s closest neighbors, Jeremie Wentworth and his wife. Wentworth had been lying down, listening to the radio when it occurred to him that the sound was more like a smoke detector. He jumped out of bed, grabbed a cordless phone and a flashlight, and headed down the hillside toward the noise.

He dialed 911 “Is anyone there?” he called out as he approached the house. Wentworth knew that Lubeck lived in the house.

Then he heard, “Help me! I’m trapped!” coming from the balcony off Lubeck’s bedroom.

“I ran in and yelled, ‘Don, where are you?’ Then I had to run outside to catch my breath.”

After one more attempt inside the house, he gave up and circled around back. But there was no way to get to him. “I shone the flashlight into the woods next to an old shed and noticed a ladder,” says Wentworth. He dragged it over to the balcony and pulled Lubeck down just as the second floor of the house collapsed.

Wentworth and Lubeck don’t run into each other regularly, but Lubeck now knows that if he ever needs help, Wentworth will be there.

Lubeck still chokes up when he tells the story. “I was alone,” he says. “Then I heard the most beautiful sound in my life. It was Jeremie.”

1.According to the text, Lubeck .

A. stayed calm in the fire

B. couldn’t find a safe way out

C. lived on the first floor

D. called for help in the fire

2.How did Wentworth help Lubeck escape?

A. He called 911.

B. He went upstairs and took Lubeck out.

C. He put out the fire.

D. He used a ladder and pulled Lubeck down.

3.Which of the following factors was not mentioned in the text that almost caused Lubeck’s life?

A. He was living in his wood home alone that night.

B. The storm was too heavy and the fire was too fierce.

C. He lived far from the main road and was surrounded by pines.

D. He was too frightened to escape from the danger.

4.What does the text mainly talk about?

A.A near neighbor is better than a distant cousin.

B. A good way to get a narrow escape.

C. God helps those who help themselves.

D. Blood is thicker than water.

科目：高中英語 來源：2016屆河南省洛陽市高三上學期期中聯(lián)考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

London’s newest skyscraper(摩天大樓) is called the Shard and it cost about 430 million pounds to build. At a height of almost 310 metres，it is the tallest building in Europe. The Shard has completely changed the appearance of London. However，not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better.

The Shard was designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano. When he began designing the Shard for London，Piano wanted a very tall building that looked like a spire(尖頂)．He wanted the glass surfaces to reflect the sky and the city. The sides of the building aren’t regular. So the building has an unusual shape. It looks like a very thin，sharp piece of broken glass. And that is how the building got the name：the Shard.Piano says that the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition. The shape reminds him of the spires of the churches of London or the tall masts(桅桿) of the ships that were once on the river Thames.

The Shard has 87 floors. At the top，there is an observatory. At the moment the building is empty，but eventually there will be a five?star hotel. There will also be top quality restaurants，apartments and offices.

Before building work began，a lot of people didn’t want the Shard though the plans were approved. Now they are still unhappy about the Shard. Some critics say that such a tall skyscraper might be good in a city like New York，but not in London. They say that the best thing about the Shard is its spire shape. But that is the only thing. There is no decoration，only flat surfaces. The Egyptians did that 4,500 years ago. They also think the Shard is too big for London. It destroys the beauty of the city.

Other critics don’t like what the Shard seems to represent. They say that the Shard shows how London is becoming more unequal. Only very rich people can afford to buy the expensive private apartments and stay in the hotel. But the people who live near the Shard are among the poorest in London. So the Shard seems a symbol of the division in society between the very rich and the poor.

The Shard now dominates the London skyline. It is not certain，however，that ordinary London citizens will ever accept it as a valuable addition to the city.

1.London’s newest skyscraper is called the Shard because of .

A． its cost

B． its size

C． its shape

D． its height

2.When he designed the Shard，Piano wanted it to .

A． change London’s skyline

B． inherit London’s tradition

C． imitate the Egyptian style

D． attract potential visitors

3.The critics who refer to social division think the Shard .

A． is only preferred by the rich

B． is intended for wealthy people

C． is far away from the poor area

D． is popular only with Londoners

4.Which would be the best title for the passage?

A． The Shard：Cheers and Claps

B． The Shard：Work of a Great Architect

C． The Shard：New Symbol of London?

D． The Shard：A Change for the Better?

科目：高中英語 來源：2016屆河南信陽高級中學高三上第八次大考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

In April 2014，the world's oldest known message in a bottle was discovered floating in the Baltic Sea. It had spent 101 years lost in the ocean！The message was finally sent to the author's granddaughter.

A German fisherman named Konrad Fischer found the brown bottle near Kiel，Germany. He said he nearly threw the bottle back into the water after pulling it out of a fishing net. Then he noticed something inside.

The bottle in good condition contained a Danish postcard with two German stamps，dated May 17，1913. Although dampness had made most of the writing illegible（字跡模糊的），the readable part of the message asked whoever found it to return it to an address in Berlin. It even contained two stamps to pay for postage.

From the address，researchers found that the postcard was written by a man named Richard Platz，who was 20 years old when he wrote the message. While he was hiking on the Baltic coast with a nature appreciation group，he threw the bottle into the sea. Then the researchers began a search for any living relatives of his. Sure enough，they were able to find his 62-year-old granddaughter，Angela Erdmann，who still lives in Berlin.

“It was almost unbelievable，”Erdmann said upon being presented with her grandfather's bottle and message.“That was a pretty moving moment. Tears rolled down my face."

Erdmann never knew her grandfather，who died in 1946，but says that the discovery of the bottle has made her want to learn more about him.

The bottle remained on display at the International Maritime Museum in Hamburg until May 1．After that，the researchers examined the postcard and tried to figure out the meaning of the rest of the message.

Previously，the oldest message found in a bottle spent nearly 98 years at sea and was discovered in April 2012，according to Guinness World Records.

1.When Konrad Fischer picked up the bottle from the sea， ．

A.he thought it would bring him good luck

B.he noticed the postcard inside immediately

C.he decided to uncover the secret of the bottle

D.he wanted to throw it back into the sea at first

2.Why did Richard Platz throw the bottle with the message into the sea?

A．He expected his granddaughter could find the postcard.

B．He wished the finder would send the postcard to his home.

C．He believed his postcard would be kept secret at sea forever.

D．He thought he could make friends with the finder of the bottle.

3. What can be the best title for this passage？

A．The finding of a floating bottle at the sea

B．A one-century-old letter to a granddaughter

C．The world's oldest message in a floating bottle

D．The oldest Danish postcard in a floating bottle
