On receiving my learner driver license a couple of months ago, I started driving lessons straight away. In New Zealand, the __33__driving age is 15.
However it wasn’t __34__ two days ago that Dad finally allowed me to drive on the motorway. Our __35__ was Orewa, a seaside town about 60 kilometers away from my home in Auckland. That morning I __36__ sure I had enough to drink and went to the toilet (廁所) about three times __37__ we left. I thought I was totally __38__ for the journey, but nothing could have prepared me for my family’s __39__. "Relax! Don’t hold the steering wheel(方向盤(pán)) so __40__. The car is going zigzag (彎彎曲曲的)," called a nervous voice from the __41__. "Speed up. 70km/h isn’t fast enough. You are holding up the traffic," another voice ordered from the seat next to mine.
How __42__ ! My parents were really starting to get on my nerves. To satisfy them I sped up and within a second, an angry voice began to yell again. "Stop! __43__! Are you crazy? ” Everything did not go fine until I pulled off the motorway and drove into the city, __44__ the speed limit was only 50km/h.
My family seemed relieved (放心的) and __45__ telling me what to do. They all looked out of the windows and enjoyed the scenery .  __46__, that silence didn’t last very long. My mum suddenly cried out, "Look at those birds above us. __47__ they lovely?"
How did she expect me to look up in the __49__? As the driver I had to __48__ . Who knows what would have happened if I had taken my eyes off the __50__? Four hours later we drove home. This time the journey was much __51__ than before as everyone else __52__ fast asleep. So, I just took my time and enjoyed the drive.

It was a cold winter’s night when I stopped for gas on my way home from work. I was tired and had a slight   36 .
I worked in a   37  doctor’s office and this was one of those days when the unexpected happened, making the schedule run   38  than usual.

Tight-lipped elders used to say, "It's not what you want in this world, but what you get．"
Psychology teaches that you do get what you want if you know what you want and want the right things．
You can make a mental blueprint of a desire as you would make a blueprint of a house, and each of us is continually making these blueprints in the general routine of everyday living．If we intend to have friends to dinner, we plan the menu, make a shopping list, decide which food to cook first, and such planning is an essential for any type of meal to be served．
Similarly, If you want to find a job, take a sheet of paper, and write a brief account of yourself．In making a blueprint for a job, begin with yourself, for when you know exactly what you have to offer, you can intelligently plan where to sell your services．
This account of yourself is actually a general description of your working life and should include education, experience and references．Such an account is valuable．It can be referred to in filling out standard application blanks and is extremely helpful in personal interviews．While talking to you, your could-be employer is deciding whether your education, your experience, and other qualifications will pay him to employ you and your abilities must be displayed in an orderly and reasonably connected manner．
When you have carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires, you have something tangible to sell．Then you are ready to look for a job．Get all the possible information about your could-be job．Make inquiries about the details concerning the job and the firm．Keep your eyes and ears open, and use your own judgment．Spend a certain amount of time each day seeking the position you wish for, and keep in mind: Obtaining a job is your job now．
小題1:What do the elders mean when they say, “It’s not what you want in this world, but what you get．”?
A．You’ll certainly get what you want．
B．It’s no use dreaming．
C．You should be dissatisfied with what you have．

A．a(chǎn)n illustration of how to write an application for a job
B．a(chǎn)n indication of how to obtain a good job
C．a(chǎn) guideline for job description
D．a(chǎn) principle for job evaluation
小題3:According to the passage, one must write an account of himself before starting to find a job because ________．
A．that is the first step to please the employer
B．that is the requirement of the employer
C．it enables him to know when to sell his services

While in Banff, make time for a walk around town. A special treat is to go up the mountainside on the Banff Gondola for a surprising view of the valley below. Here is The Pines, whose cook has developed a special way of mixing foreign food such as caribou, wild boar, and reindeer with surprising sauces.
Best time to visit is during the off-season, from early May to mid-June, or in October. This way you can avoid sharing the highway with mobile homes which can be pulled by cars. But whatever the season, take some lunch with you from Banff, because there are only a few food stops on the road.
Forty minutes north of Banff, side by side with the Banff National Park, sits world-famous Lake Louise. This surprisingly small body of water is attractive with towering mountains around it. Glaciers, huge masses of ice, moving very slowly against rocks, produce what is called glacier rock flour, making its water dark to see. It is worth taking a walk around the grounds of the Chateau Lake Louise, another beauty, proud of its early 20th century history.
Back on the road, and it’s time to continue north past the astonishing Columbia Icefield, then turn off the highway and take the short road to the base of the Athabaska Glacier. You can rent ice cleats (夾板) and do some climbing or do a more pleasant snowmobile tour. Either way, you can enjoy endless beautiful sights.
Finally you’ll reach Jasper, the usual turning around the place for the Banff-Jasper loop (回路). It’s worth riding the Jasper Skytram, and be sure to visit the wonderful Jasper Park Lodge, also dating back to the 1920s. If you can have lunch there, do it. The restaurant has an adventurous menu and their wine list would put a smile on any visitor’s face.
小題1:According the passage, The Pines is a                                .
A．place in which you can see many mobile homes
B．mountain where you can get a good view of the valley
C．town which happens to be near the Banff National Park
D．restaurant where you can ask for some special kinds of food
小題2:What will probably happen when visitors come at the end of June?
A．They may have trouble finding a restaurant.
B．They may come across traffic jams.
C．They may travel more easily with cars.
D．They may do much more sightseeing.
小題3:Similar to the Chateau Lake Louise,                           .
A．the Banff National Park is to the west of Banff
B．the Columbia Icefield lies between Lake Louise and the Banff National Park
C．the Jasper Skytram has a history of more than 80 years
D．the Jasper Park Lodge was built in the 1920s
小題4:Besides the beautiful sights in Jasper Park Lodge, visitors to Jasper can enjoy themselves by                                   .
A．taking the Jasper Skytram and eating in the restaurant
B．taking the Banff-Jasper loop and Jasper Skytram
C．having a lot of food to order in the restaurant
D．taking the Jasper Skytram back to Banff

I start to wonder what else had changed since I’d been gone. My parents are in an awkward puzzle, wondering how to treat me now----whether to treat me—still their daughter—as one of them, an adult, or as the child they feel they sent away months earlier.
I run into two of my best friends from high school; we stare at each other, expressionless. We ask the simple questions and give simple answers. It’s as if we have nothing to say to each other. I wonder how things have changed so much in such a small amount of time. We used to laugh and promise that no matter how far away we were, our love for each other would never change. Their interests don’t interest me anymore, and I find myself unable to relate my life to theirs.
I had been so excited to come home, but now I just look at it all and wonder: Is it me? Why hadn’t the world stood still here while I was gone?  My room isn’t the same, my friends and I don’t share the same promise, and my parents don’t know how to treat me—or who I am, for that matter.
I get back to school feeling half-satisfied, but not disappointed. I sit up in my bed in my dorm room, surrounded by my pictures, dolls. As I wonder what has happened, I realize that I can’t expect the world to stand still and move forward at the same time.  I can change and expect that things at home will stay the same. I have to find comfort in what has changed and what is new; keep the memories, but live in the present.
A few weeks later, I’m packing again, this time for winter break. My mom meets me at the door. I have come home accepting the changes, not only in my surroundings, but most of all in me.
小題1:What can we infer about the writer?
A．She is a high school student.B．She is a college student.
C．She is a clerk in a school.D．She is a traveler.
小題2:What surprises the writer most?
A．The living conditions of her parents.B．The decorations in her room.
C．The meeting with her best friends.D．The things still staying the same.
小題3:What is this passage mainly about?
A．The writer’s curiosity about the changes.
B．The changes in the writer’s surroundings and in herself.
C．The writer’s disappointment about the changes.
D．The writer’s refusal to accept the changes.

Too many people wander through life like sleepwalkers．Each day they follow familiar routines，never asking，“What am I doing with my life?’’and they don’t know what they’re doing because they lack goals．
Goal-setting is a focusing of the will to move in a certain direction．Begin with a clear conception of what you want．Write down your goals and date them—putting them into words clarifies them．Rather than concentrating on objects to acquire and possess，focus on fulfilling your desires to do，to produce，to contribute—goal-setting that yields the true sense of satisfaction we all need．
It’s important to visualize(想象)yourself accomplishing your goal．While losers visualize the penalties(不利)of failure，winners visualize the rewards of success．I’ve seen it among athletes，statistics contrasting air and highway safety，but it made no difference．I had read too many articles describing crash scenes and imagined these scenes vividly．I had programmed myself，without realizing it，to stay off planes．
Then one summer I had the opportunity to fly on a private plane with friends to a resort；I didn’t want to miss out on a great vacation．So I spent two weeks imagining a smooth flight on a beautiful sunny day and an easy landing．
When the day arrived，I was eager to go．To everyone’s surprise，I got on the plane and I loved every minute of it，and I still use the techniques I employed that day．
小題1:According to the passage，if you want to be successful，the first thing for you to do is         .
A．find the right methodsB．be careful about everything
C．know your ability D．have a clear goal
小題2:If you have a target，you will         .
A．wander like a sleepwalkerB．know well what you are doing
C．do the same work every dayD．put it into words
小題3:The problem with the author before he overcame his fear of air travel is that         .
A．he didn’t know air travel is safer than highway travel
B．he couldn’t imagine himself accomplishing his goal
C．he read too much about plane crashes and tried to avoid flying
D．he wanted to take a private plane instead of a public one
小題4:What would be the best title for this passage?
A．Define Your Coal
B．Visualize Rewards of Success
C．Overcome The Fear of Air Travel
D．Sleepwalking Through Life

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child — things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his parents. He is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong.
When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.
小題1: According to the second paragraph, the writer thinks that __.
A．life for a child is comparatively easy
B．a(chǎn) child is always loved whatever he does
C．if much is given to a child, he must do something in return
D．only children are interested in life
小題2:Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A．People are often satisfied with their life.
B．Life is less interesting for old people.
C．Adults are free to do what they want to do.
D．Adults should no longer rely on others.
小題3:The underlined word "responsibilities" in the second paragraph means__________.
A．dutiesB．jobsC．suggestionsD．desires
小題4:The main idea of the passage is _________ .
A．life is not enjoyable since each age has some pains
B．young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hard
C．childhood is the most enjoyable time in one's life
D．one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life
