When I was 14, I was hired for an after-school job selling subscriptions (征訂,訂閱) to my hometown paper, the Houston Post. I was sent to some of the city’s worst neighborhoods to “beg” door-to-door. Even though I was often moving around after dark in bad areas __36__ for garage apartments, I was __37__ for the work.
It was a __38__ because people didn’t like a stranger knocking on their door, __39__ a kid trying to get them to buy something. On one ___40__, a man shut his door heavily in my face and __41__, “I don’t want your damn paper.” I __42__ myself to knock again and was able to tell him how great the paper was. I __43__ selling him a subscription. I was soon among the __44__ subscription sellers and, like other successful __45__, was given responsibility for training newcomers.
__46__ this time I started playing the harmonica and guitar. Before long I was playing in a __47__ at barbecues and other events. When I __48__ 18, I focused my __49__ on becoming a professional musician. I never lost ___50___ of this dream. I’m sure my determination came from what I __51___ knocking on strangers’ doors.
That ___52___ helped me in many ways. Early in my music career I was locked in a legal disagreement with a former manager. He ___53__ me to back off, but I refused.
Having all those doors shut in my face as a kid gave me the ___54___to stand up to this frightening figure. Except this time there was one ___55___: I was the one saying no. And I won.

閱讀下列短文, 從每題所給的選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng),并在答題卷上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。
A
One night recently, I was driving down a two-lane highway at about 60 miles an hour. A car approached from the opposite direction at about the same speed. As we passed each other, I caught the other driver’s eye for only a second. I wondered whether he might be thinking, as I was, how dependent we were on each other at that moment. I was relying on him not to fall asleep, not to be put off by a phone conversation, not to cross over into my lane and bring my life to a sudden end. Though we had never spoken a word to each other, he relied on me in just the same way.
Multiplied a million times over, I believe that is the way the world works. At some level, we all depend upon one another. Sometimes that dependence requires us simply not to do something like crossing over the double yellow line. And sometimes it requires us to act cooperatively, with friends or even with strangers.
As technology shrinks our world, the need increases for cooperative action among nations. In 2003, doctors in five nations were quickly organized to identify the SARS virus, which saved thousands of lives. The threat of international terrorism has shown itself to be a similar problem, one requiring team action by police and intelligence forces across the world. We must recognize that our fates are not ours alone to control.
In my own life, I’ve put great stock in personal responsibility. But, as time has passed, I’ve also come to believe that there are moments when one must rely upon the good faith and judgment of others. so, while each of us faces the case of driving alone down a dark road, what we must learn is that the approaching light may not be a threat, but a shared moment of trust.
小題1:The author considers it very important ______.
A.to drive with a companyB.to have personal independence
C.to gain certain responsibilityD.to share trust and cooperation
小題2:The author said that they depended on each other in the same way because ______.
A.the approaching car was very dangerous
B.they both drove their car at a terrific speed
C.he might be killed out of the other’s careless driving
D.it was dark and the road was not wide enough
小題3:From the second paragraph, we know the author drew the important lesson from ______.
A.only one experience B.many similar experiences
C.a(chǎn) driver on a dark road D.many friends and strangers
小題4:The need for cooperation increases because ______.
A.peoples’ fates can’t be controlled by themselves
B.certain viruses can spread in a quick way
C.terrorism can happen everywhere and every day
D.the world has become much more dangerous
小題5: We can infer from the last paragraph that the author has ______.
A.believed in one’s own personal responsibility
B.counted upon himself alone in everything
C.had no trust in others’ good faith and judgment
D.had accomplished a change on his viewpoint of life

One summer my friend and I decided to go to Italy for a holiday and we decided to travel there without going through a travel agency. You know, you would be submerged (淹沒(méi)) in crowds of tourists and lose lots of opportunities to get familiar with the country more closely. We started to think over our trip and managed to come up with a free tour of Italy.
The trip was not very long but it was still very impressive. We look forward to going there again! Of course, we spent lots of time arranging the trip, but it was well worth it! Of course I was afraid that something would go wrong and I was especially anxious about my visa, but everything went quite smoothly in the end.
The most difficult part was getting a visa without an invitation. In the Italian consulate(領(lǐng)事館), one must hand in some official paper proving that one has a hotel booked for oneself in order to get the visa. Then we had to solve the ticket problem. Airlines often sell cheap tickets and we bought ours far in advance. The next step was to book a hotel. We finally booked a hotel about thirty km away from the heart of Rome and it was the perfect choice for our trip.
Every day we took a train that carried us to the heart of Rome. Our big house, which was surrounded by the forest, was a rare girl for the fresh air and absolute silence, beautiful views, hospitable (好客的) hosts, comfortable living conditions delighted us to no end. Besides this, we were very lucky that our mistress was Russian. She gave us a lot of advice that was of great use. She told us what transport to choose and where the best places to go.
Don’t be afraid to arrange your trip by yourself. It’s not difficult! The only thing I'll say right now is that we really enjoyed traveling by ourselves. We walked with a map and a guide-book to wherever we wanted and we even met some of our fellow countrymen on the way just two or three times. So, if you're also planning a "single" trip, don't forget to take a Russian-Italian phrasebook as people in Italy prefer to speak in their native tongue.
小題1: Why does the author want to go to Italy again?
A.He had a great time there.
B.Italy has a lot of attractions.
C.His friend invited him there.
D.He didn't stay in Italy long enough.
小題2:What does the author think was the hardest in preparing for his Italian trip?
A.Buying cheap airline tickets to Italy before the traveling
B.Getting a visa without an invitation from the Italian consulate.
C.Booking a comfortable hotel on his own in Rome.
D.Solving the ticket problem far in advance.
小題3: In the fourth paragraph the author mainly explains
A.the reason why he chose to live in the center of Rome
B.the reason why the hotel he booked was the right choice
C.what transport they chose to travel in their Italian trip
D.the reason why the mistress gave them some advice
小題4:Which of the following questions has NOT been answered in the passage?
A.Why did the author decide to go to Italy for a holiday for the first time?
B.Why did the author decide not to follow a travel agency?
C.How did the author prepare for his trip?
D.What tools did the author use for his traveling?
小題5: From the text we can know the author
A.enjoys traveling everywhere in the world
B.likes being accompanied by tour guides
C.a(chǎn)dvises us to arrange trips by ourselves
D.met with a lot of his countrymen in Italy

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:不詳 題型:閱讀理解

  The trend in everyday conversation is to use grandiose(夸大的)words.“Outstanding” is the
new “good,”  “amazing” is the new “OK, ” and “huge” is the new “big.”
I was in a restaurant in Washington D.C.last weekend and every question I asked was answered with exaggeration.
Me:How is the salmon?
Sever:Fantastic!
Me:Does it come with rice?
Sever:Absolutely!
Would a “good” and a “yes” have been enough? Of course!
My father is an average-sized man.He hasn’t gained weight or height for the past 30 years. Therefore, his size remains the same.However,in the same amount of time,his T-shirt size has gone from small to medium to large to extra large.
The reason for the exaggerated word is clear:we are bored with our lives. We want the next
—next thing now.Immediately!
And we also want others to think that we still care,that we can still be delighted,that we know that everything is just great.Even when deep inside we know it can’t be.Everything can’t be great.
I’m not a scientist,so many methods of proof leave little to be desired,or a lot to be desired,or an immensity(無(wú)限).   
Listen to the voices around you.Listen to your own voices.There is nothing on the radio that is good or bad,weather is either beautiful or horrible.
Listen,the next time when someone asks you something and you agree,because when you
could simply say “yes”, instead you will say “absolutely’’ or “without doubt ” or “Oh,yeah,unquestionably ---- absolutely without doubt."
Have people forgotten what it is like to be OK? Simply OK with what they have and who they are? If everything is outstanding,if everything is the most amazing thing ever,is anything ever amazing at all?
小題1:By telling his experience in the restaurant,the author intends to ________.
A.show his interest in exaggerated words
B.prove that exaggerated words are widely used
C.blame the restaurant for using exaggerated words
D.tell us the food in the restaurant is extremely good
小題2:What do we know about the author’s father?
A.He has gained height and is now a tall man.
B.He likes following the fashion in clothing.
C.His weight is getting greater and greater.
D.The size of his T-shirt is described in exaggerated words.
小題3:.So many people like using exaggerated words because_________.
A.they are not satisfied with being normal
B.they don’t want to be looked down upon by others
C.they want to be different from others
D.they are brave in telling their true feelings
小題4:According to the passage,if you approve of something,you’d better say “________”.
A.fantasticB.perfectC.OKD.a(chǎn)bsolutely

Sitting by her Pinocchio lamp, she smiled at me as her tiny hands' shadow danced on the bedroom wall."A rabbit!" she laughed with all the delight of a four-year old.Her blue eyes shone with pride as she showed me the animated image she had created."Daddy, will you show me how to make a tiger?" she asked."Sure," I said, "and then we'll read a story and tell your angels goodnight."To my youngest daughter, that meant her bedtime prayer.
Today my daughter is seven, and I no longer get to read the story.She reads it to me, complete with expressive accents for the story characters.
To say I'm proud of our relationship would be an understatement.We have shared days of joy as well as tragedy.Our time together has strengthened the relationship of love and special "life stuff" that is all our own.
I am richer for having planted the spirit of trust in this gentle little person; we have grown together spiritually, learning much from each other.The special times we spend together, like nights by a Pinocchio lamp, create memories that we will treasure for the rest of our lives.
So it is with all of our relationships.The trust factor is vital for relationships to develop.Think of one of your fondest memories, and you will no doubt find a remarkable relationship at its center--one with a spiritual quality that shines outward from the heart.
Time together, caring acts, and unconditional love build trust.I suggest that we each spend plenty of time with our personal "Pinoechio lamps"--those special ways that we choose to strengthen our relationships.
Relationships take time to develop and maintain.It is not always easy, but the results are priceless."Nights by a Pinoechio lamp", wherever those might be for you, will create enduring relationships of golden "life stuff", spiritual gifts that no one can take away.
小題1:The underlined words in the third paragraph refer to all EXCEPT ______.
A.hands' shadow dancing on the wall
B.reading bed stories
C.sharing each other's tragedy
D.praying to the angels for goodnight
小題2:Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A.The author thinks the relationship with his daughter is so simple that he can't describe with plenty of words.
B.If you take time to attempt to build relationship, you will find it easy to get the satisfactory results.
C.Plant the spirit of trust into others and you will create valuable memories for each other.
D.It's not worth spending time developing relationship if you meet the failure at last.
小題3:Why does the author write the passage?
A.To recall his fondest memories.
B.To stress the importance of trust in building relationships.
C.To explain how to create valuable memories.
D.To tell the readers how to educate children.
小題4:Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A.Life Stuff Of Your Own
B.Nights by a Pinocchio Lamp
C.Unconditional gifts---Love
D.A spiritual quality shining outward from the heart

To tell you the truth, I’m not interested in owning a cellular (網(wǎng)絡(luò)) phone. Except for use in an emergency (緊急情況), for ordinary cellular phone service is very expensive. How would I get help if I were in trouble or in danger? A good friend said about a product she thought would settle my problem. It’s the SOS phone—a cellular phone service designed for emergency use.
With the touch of a button, the SOS phone will connect me to a roadside emergency service, a 911 service or a trained SOS operator, 24 hours a day. If I ever need help. I know it’s just a phone call away.
By pressing the “Tow” button, I’ll bc connected with my emergency roadside service provider. Or, if I don’t have one, the SOS operator can suggest one to me and get in touch with them immediately.
The “911” button would connect me to 911 emergency service in my area------best of all, the call is completely free!
If I just want to call home to tell my husband and children something necessary, I can, by pressing the “Call” hutton, I’ll reach an operator. When I ask the operator to call home, I’ll be connected automatically (自動(dòng)地). And because the Call Center has my 10 most-used phone numbers, I don’t even have to recite the numbers.
Unlike ordinary cellular phone plans, the SOS phone doesn't have any minimum usage requirements (底價(jià)) or other promises that could change the price
Why not try it yourself!
