解析:

1.A．separate和divide都含“分開”的意思。 separate指“把原來在一起的人或物分開”, 如:

S-those two boys who are fighting, will you? (你)把那兩個(gè)打架的孩子拉開, 好嗎?

divide 指“施加外力或自然地把某人或某物由整體分成若干部分”, 如: divide the candies among the children 給孩子們把糖塊分開。

2.C．根據(jù)17空后…with puzzlement about the uncertain future and…可以判斷出答案，其它選項(xiàng)不符合情景。

3.D。woke up“醒來”；stood up 和got up “站起來”；stayed up“熬夜，不睡覺”。本題易誤選B。

4.D。從第一段末及空后可以看出答案。描述心情不愉，常用gray。本題易誤選BC。

5.B。wore“穿、戴”，后接衣服等。Dress“給…穿衣”，后面跟sb.，構(gòu)成dress sb.。女兒穿著新裙子在….。本題易誤選A。

6.B。根據(jù)…around the departure hall（(飛機(jī)場的)候機(jī)室）看出應(yīng)填airport.

7.C。supply（有目的提供），have a good [large] supply of 備有許多 ；offer（無目的提供），offer常與make搭配，構(gòu)成“make an offer (of) 提議; 出價(jià); 提供 ”； number和amount意思是大量的，后面分別跟可數(shù)和不可數(shù)名詞。本題易誤選A。

8.A．include表示一個(gè)整體由幾個(gè)部分組成，側(cè)重包括者只是整體的一部分。如：The bill includes tax and service．contain指一個(gè)整體包括的內(nèi)容，側(cè)重“內(nèi)有”的意思。如：Try to avoid foods which contain a lot fat．換句話說：include的賓語總是整體中的部分?jǐn)?shù)量或部分組成部分,而countain的賓語總是不涉及數(shù)量的內(nèi)含元   素,如有數(shù)量詞則往往是全部數(shù)量.本題易誤選B。

17.B．be filled with…結(jié)構(gòu)；be full of       。CD后加with表示“對…滿意”，不和句意。

18.D A.think about“想起”；set about“出發(fā)、開始”；B.set out（to do）；thought over“仔細(xì)考慮”。

One year our family decided to have a special celebration of Mother’s Day, as a token of appreciations for all the sacrifices that Mother had made for us. After breakfast we had arranged, as a surprise, to hire a car and take her for a beautiful drive in the country. Mother was rarely able to have a treat like that, because she was busy in the house nearly all the time.

    But on the very morning of the day, we changed the plan a little, because it occurred to Father that it would be even better to take Mother fishing. As the car was hired and paid for, we might as well use it to drive up into the hills where the streams are. As Father said, if you just go driving without object, you have a sense of aimlessness, but if you are going to fish there is a definite purpose that heightens the enjoyment.

So we all felt it would be nicer for Mother to have a definite purpose . Father had just got a fishing rod the day before, which he said mother could use if she wanted to. Only Mother said she would much rather watch him fish than try to fish herself.

    So we got her to make up a sandwich lunch in case we got hungry, though we were to come home again to a big festive dinner.

    Well, when the car came to the door, it turned out that there was not as much space in it as we had supposed. It was plain that we couldn’t all get in.

    Father said that he could just stay home and put in the time working in the garden. He said that there was a lot of rough dirty work that he could do, like digging a trench for the garbage, which would save hiring a man, and so he said that he’d stay home; he said that we were not to let the fact that he had not had a real holiday for three years stand in our way. He wanted us to go right ahead and not to mind him.

    But of course we all felt that it would never do to let Father stay home, especially as we knew he would make trouble if he did. The two girls, Anne and Mary, would have stayed and helped the maid get dinner, only it seemed such a pity,for the two girls were eager to show their new hats on a lovely day like this. But they said that Mother had only to say the word and they’d gladly stay home and work. Will and I would have dropped out, but unfortunately we wouldn’t have been any use in preparing the dinner.

1.The author’s family decided to celebrate Mother’s Day specially to _______.

A. show love for their mother                     

B. show gratitude to their mother

C. show respect for their mother                  

D. to make up for a previous appointment

2.According to Paragraph 2, we know that the plan was changed because________.

A. Father proposed to go fishing out       

B. we thought that driving out is boring

C. we failed to hire a car to go out         

D. the car was not big enough

3.What problem did we find when the car arrived?

A. The car was too old to drive on mountain roads.          

B. The car was larger than we expected.

C. The car was too small to accommodate us all.                 

D. The car was too plain looking.

4.Why didn’t the author drop out of the activity?

A. Because his sisters didn’t join in.                                       

B. Because he needed to have dinner.

C. Because he couldn’t cook the dinner.                                                 

D. Because he hadn’t had a real holiday for three years.

5.Which of the following proverbs describes the text best?

A. Everything comes to him who waits.                        

B. Changes always go beyond plans.

C. Better late than never.                                         

D. Once on shore, one prays no more.

 Even before my father left us, my mother had to go back to work to support our family. Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining, “Mom, I can’t peel potatoes. I have only one hand.”

    Mom never looked up from sewing. “You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes,” she told me. “And don’t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”

    In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.

    That night I told Mom about it. She hugged me, and I saw her “we’ll see about that” look. The next afternoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars.

    “Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hook the bar with my other elbow. Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every, rung I reached. I’ll never forget the next time, crossing the rungs, I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.

    One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing. I could hear Mom come into my room. “Mom,” I said, weeping, “none of the boys would dance with me.”

    For a long time, I didn’t hear anything. Then she said, “Oh, honey, someday you’ll be beating those boys off with a bat.” Her voice was faint and cracking. I peeked out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks. Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf. She had never let me see her tears.

1.Which of the following expressions can be used most suitably to describe Mom’s attitude when she made the child peel potatoes?

A. Cruel.         B. Serious.          C. Strict.            D. Cold.

A. the skill to throw and catch things

B. the speed of one’s hand movement

C. the strength and skill to hang and sway

D. the bodily skill to rotate round a bar

3.What does the sentence “I saw her ‘we’ll see about that’ look” imply?

A. Mom believe every aim could be achieved if you stuck to it.

B. The race across monkey bars was not difficult enough for a child to give up.

C. Mom was determined to prove she herself was better than the teacher.

D. What the child had said brought Mom great attraction and curiosity.

4.When the child looked down at the kids, they were standing with their mouths open because          .

A. they felt sorry for what they had done before

B. they were afraid the author might fall off and get hurt

C. they wanted to see what the author would do on the bars

D. they were astonished to find the author’s progress

5.The most probable conclusion we can draw after reading the passage is _________.

科目：高中英語 來源：2012屆度甘肅省高三9月月考英語題 題型：閱讀理解

People say teenagers are no good．They make too much noise in shopping malls; they drive recklessly up and down America’s main streets; they carry chips on their shoulders as big as the Sears Tower．And at least some of the time those things are true．But we shouldn’t forget that there are hard moments in the life of a teenager too．

    I watched such a moment not long ago at a woman’s funeral（葬禮）．I didn’t expect the event to affect me．Through much of the ceremony, in fact, I remained unmoved．

    Then her teenage grandson stepped forward．With his very first deep breath, every heart in that church was achingly reminded of something we had all forgotten．Softly he began: “I want to share a few values that Nana taught me．She never failed to see light in any situation．When our family dog would literally attact her, what would Nana say? ‘Oh, what beautiful markings that dog has．’ That was Nana．

    “She was a strong woman who often lived in the shadow of my grandpa, who was a successful businessman in this city．But she was the one behind the scenes who provided the strength and support for Grandpa’s career,” he said, with a voice now trembling．“That was Nana’s way．”

    Through a muffled sob, he continued．“Whenever she did anything worth recognition, you’d have to hear about it from a different source, because she was never one to brag．”

    Finally, in a voice breaking free of sorrow, he looked up and said, “Nana taught me courage．She put up an incredible fight to the end, when she died peacefully, which is how she lived her life．That was Nana’s way, and I hope I can carry on in the same manner．”

    There are no hearts as sensitive as those of teenagers, because everything is happening to them for the first time．The trouble with teenagers is that they haven’t learned to be controlled．

    When that boy rose to speak about the woman who surely had been his truest ally and est friend, his honest voice dragged each of us out into the open where we could no longer hide in the calm ritual．He exposed us to the truth about this very real woman who believed in a boy who probably tried the patience of many adults．He reminded us that his grandmother was more than another dot on the chart of life and death．

    All over again we felt those powerful losses crisscrossing our own hearts, and we knew that when you say good-bye to a beloved grandparent, you say good-bye to something happy, something young in yourself．And that something never really returns, and the pain never really goes away．

1.From the boy’s speech, we know his grandmother ____________．

    A．was a weak woman living in the shadow of his grandpa

    B．liked dogs very much even if they often attacked her

    C．could see everything around her though she was old

    D．had great influence over the boy when she was alive

2.According to the first paragraph, _____________．

    A．young people should keep quiet before the public

    B．people don’t think highly of the teenagers

    C．people shouldn’t forget the young people

    D．young people are living a hard life

3.The writer wanted to tell the readers ____________．

    A．the young people were too weak to face the fact

    B．the young people had to learn to control themselves

    C．the adults could learn something valuable from the young

    D．the adults should teach the young how to deal with the death

4.We can infer from the passage that the boy ___________．

    A．was filled with sadness and gave up finishing his talk

    B．was always very good at expressing himself

    C．practiced a lot in order to give a moving speech

    D．had great difficulty in accepting the loss of Nana
