Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to earn money in order to pay the 16 tuition(學(xué)費(fèi)) for my brother and me. They don’t 17  in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. My father has a bad temper(脾氣); it’s easy for him to lose his temper.
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt(縫被子). I 18 sat down beside her and looked at her.
“Is there any 19  between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice.My mother stopped her work and raised her head with  20  in her eyes. She didn’t answer immediately. Then she bowed her head and continued to sew the quilt. 21 at last I heard my mother say the following words:“Susan,” she said 22  , “Look at this thread(線(xiàn)). Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable(耐用). If life is a 23  , then love should be a thread. It can 24  be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there. Love is 25.
I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her until the next  26  . At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. After they were 27, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father walk 28 on the country road. My father had never been so 29 . Along the country road, there were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees. The sun gently shone through the leaves. All of these 30  the most beautiful picture in the world. The doctor had said my father would 31 in two months. But after two months he still couldn’t walk alone. We were all worried.
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day. “Susan,” he said gently, “to tell you the truth, I just like 32  with your mom. I like this kind of life.” 33  his eyes, I knew he loved my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. But from this  34  , I understand that love is just a  35  in the quilt of out life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

Rowena and Billy Wrangler are model high school students. They study hard and do extremely well on achievement tests. And next year,Rowena will be attending Harvard University.Billy,her younger brother,hopes to go to Cornell.What makes Rowena and Billy different from most students is that they don't go to school.In fact,they've never been to school.Since kindergarten,they've studied at home.Like many of more than one million people who receive home schooling in the United States, they feel as if they've gotten a good education.
The home-schooling trend began in the U.S.in the 1980s with parents keeping their children out of public schools so they could provide religious education at home. Today,as the home-schooling trend continues to grow,parents are more likely to consider home schooling as an option because they believe schools don't do a very good job of teaching and are occasionally dangerous places.But can parents really do a better job?
The answer in many cases is yes.In many studies,students taught at home ranked average or above average when compared to students who went to public schools.More importantly,these students were often more self-directed and have a greater depth of knowledge.They were well prepared for academic challenges.
One such student,Robert Conrad, now a sophomore at university, claims he really learned how to study and schedule his time during his eight years of home schooling.Still, not every student is as successful as Robert.
“For every home-schooling success story,there are an equal number of failures.”states Henry Lipscomb,an educational researcher.“There are just so many disadvantages that students taught at home have to overcome.” For example,they have fewer chances to get in touch with others of their own age.Consequently,they sometimes lack the usual social skills.“No matter what,though,”states Lipscomb,“home-schooling is a growing trend.I think we'll be seeing more and more of this.”
小題1:Compared with other students, Rowena and Billy are most different in the fact that ___________.
A.they preferred to teach themselves
B.they do extremely well on achievement tests
C.they don't go to school as other teenagers
D.they feel they have gotten a good education
小題2:According to the article, what is NOT the advantage of being educated at home?
A.Home is a safer place for children.
B.Students taught at home are more self-directed.
C.Students taught at home have a greater depth of knowledge.
D.Students taught at home can go to good universities.
小題3:The writer thinks __________ .
A.parents can do a better job than schools
B.home-schooling will be more and more useful
C.home-schooling is good in some aspects
D.students taught at home make greater achievements
小題4:The best title of this text might be ________ .
A.Home-schooling:A Growing Trend
B.Home-schooling:A Better Choice
C.Home-schooling:A Way to Success

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:不詳 題型:閱讀理解

As kids, my friends and I spent a lot of time out in the woods. “The woods” was our part-time address, destination, purpose, and excuse. If I went to a friends house and found him not at home, his mother might say, “Oh, he’s out in the woods, ” with a tone(語(yǔ)氣) of airy acceptance. It is similar to the tone people sometimes use nowadays to tell me that someone I’m looking for is on the golf course or at the gym, or even “away from his desk.” For us ten-year-olds, “being out in the woods” was just an excuse to do whatever we feel like for a while.
We sometimes told ourselves that what we were doing in the woods was exploring(探索). Exploring was a more popular idea back then than it is today. History seemed to be mostly about explorers. Our explorations, though, seemed to have less system than the historic kind: something usually came up along the way. Say we stayed in the woods, throwing rocks, shooting frogs, picking blackberries, digging in what we were briefly persuaded was an Indian burial mound.
Often we got “l(fā)ost” and had to climb a tree to find out where we were. If you read a story in which someone does that successfully, be skeptical: the topmost branches are usually too skinny to hold weight, and we could never climb high enough to see anything except other trees. There were four or five trees that we visited regularly—tall beeches, easy to climb and comfortable to sit in.
It was in a tree, too, that our days of fooling around in the woods came to an end. By then some of us had reached seventh grade and had begun the rough ride of adolescence(青春期). In March, the month when we usually took to the woods again after winter, two friends and I set out to go exploring. We climbed a tree, and all of a sudden it occurred to all three of us at the same time that we really were rather big to be up in a tree. Soon there would be the spring dances on Friday evenings in the high school cafeteria.
小題1:The author and his friends were often out in the woods to _______.
A.spend their free time
B.play golf and other sports
C.a(chǎn)void doing their schoolwork
D.keep away from their parents
小題2:What can we infer from Paragraph 2 ?
A.The activities in the woods were well planned.
B.Human history is not the result of exploration.
C.Exploration should be a systematic activity.
D.The author explored in the woods aimlessly.
小題3:The underlined word “skeptical” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.
A.calmB.doubtfuC.seriousD.optimistic
小題4:How does the author feel about his childhood?
A.Happy but short.B.Lonely but memorable.
C.Boring and meaninglessD.Long and unforgettable.

Supermarket Morrisons today announced to launch an online shopping operation within two years in a move to catch up with its web-savvy rivals. The UK's fourth biggest supermarket said Morrisons.com would offer grocery and non-food products but would take time to build from zero.
As part of its online development, Morrisons - the only one of the "Big Four" grocers to have a significant internet business - revealed it had invested £32 million in a 10% stake of a New York-based online grocer. The announcement came as Morrisons posted a 13% increase in underlying pre-tax profits of £869 million in the year to January 30.
Morrisons is implementing a growth strategy which is focused on expanding its e-commerce business and moving into the convenience store market. It has earmarked £3 billion in investment over the next three years. The supermarket floated the idea of launching its own website last year and today is the first firm commitment to realising that goal.
Last month, the company took its first major step to launching an online operation with the acquisition of internet retailer Kiddicare for £70 million. The company said this move, along with the 10% "strategic" stake in American online grocer FreshDirect announced today, would help it launch its own website in the future. FreshDirect was launched in 2002 and serves 600,000 customers in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. The deal will see Morrisons chief executive Dalton Philips join the company's board.
Morrisons also revealed it would open three convenience stores, around 3,000 sq ft in size, in July under the name M Local. The shops will be located in Morrisons' heartland in the north of England, in neighbourhoods around the M62 motorway. The company said the convenience business was the second-fastest growing part of the market. Rival models include Tesco Metro and Sainsburys Local.
小題1:FreshDirect severs 600,000 customers in          .
A.ConnecticutB.New JerseyC.New YorkD.certain states
小題2:Which would help Morrisons launch its own wesbsite in the future?
A.Taking measures to beat its rivals as quickly as it could
B.Offering enough grocery and non-food products from zero
C.Building more convenience stores and market in the United States
D.Launching an online operation with the acquisition of interest retailer
小題3:Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A.Morrisons Has Many Business Rvials

C.Morrisons Switches to Run Online Shopping
D.Morrisons Wants to Establish Branches

Beauty has always been regarded as something admirable. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal consultants (顧問(wèn)) give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive persons. But in the executive circle (政界), beauty can become a liability.
While attractiveness is a positive thing for a man’s rise, it is harmful to a woman. Handsome male executives were considered as having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to be the reasons for their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck. All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives.
Why are attractive woman not thought to be able? An attractive woman is thought to be more feminine (女性的) and an attractive man more masculine (男性的) than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the "masculine" qualities required.
This is true even in politics. Anne Bowman recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates (候選人). She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked lo rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.
The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the woman who had been ranked most attractive always received the fewest votes.
小題1:In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness _____.
A.strengthens the feminine qualities required
B.makes women look more honest and capable
C.is of great importance to women
D.often enables women to succeed quickly
小題2:Bowman’s experiment shows that when it comes to politics, attractiveness _____.
A.turns out to be an obstacle to men
B.a(chǎn)ffects men and women alike
C.has as little effect on men as on women
D.is more of an obstacle than a benefit to women
小題3:It can be inferred from the passage that people's views on beauty are often _____.
A.practicalB.old-fashionedC.prejudiced (偏見(jiàn)的) D.serious
小題4:The author writes this passage to _____.
A.discuss the negative aspects of being attractive
B.give advice to job-seekers who are attractive
C.demand equal rights for women
D.emphasize the importance of appearance

Modern life is impossible without travelling. The fastest way of travelling is by plane. With a modern airline you can travel in one day to places which it took a month or more to get to hundred years ago.
Travelling by train is slower than by plane, but it has its advantages(便利). You can see the country you are travelling through. Modern trains have comfortable seats and dining-cars. They make even the longest journey enjoyable.
Some people prefer to travel by sea when possible. There are large liners and river boats. You can visit many other countries and different parts of your country on them. Ships are not so fast as trains or planes, but travelling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday.
Many people like to travel by car. You can make your own timetable. You can travel three or four hundred miles or only fifty or one hundred miles a day, just as you like. You can stop wherever you wish where there is something interesting to see, at good restaurant where you can enjoy a good meal, or at a hotel to spend the night. That is why travelling by car is popular for pleasure trips, while people usually take a train or plane when they are travelling on business.
