江苏省泗阳中学2013届高三定时训练一、阅读理解as we drove along, my spirits went up again, and i turned, with pleasure, to the thought of the new life which i was entering. but though it was not far past the middle of september, the heavy clouds and strong north-easterly wind combined to make the day extremely cold; and the journey seemed a very long one, so that it was nearly one oclock before we reached the place of our destination. yet when we entered the gateway, my heart failed me, and i wished it were a mile or two farther off. for the first time in my life i must stand alone: there was no retreating now. i must enter that house, and introduce myself among its strange people. but how was it to be done? true, i was near nineteen; but, thanks to the protecting care of my mother and sister, i well knew that many a girl of fifteen, or under, was gifted with a more womanly address, and greater ease and self-possession, than i was. yet, anyway. i would do very well, after all; and the children, of course, i should soon be at ease with them.be calm, be calm, whatever happens, i said within myself; and truly i was so fully occupied in steadying my nerves and keeping down the rebellious beat of my heart that when i was admitted into the hall and into the presence of mrs. bloomfield, i almost forgot to answer her polite greeting; and it afterwards struck me that the little i did say was spoken in the tone of one half-dead or half-asleep. with due politeness, however, she showed me my bedroom, and left me there to take a little refreshment for a little while and led me into the dining-room. some beefsteaks and potatoes were set before me; and while i dined upon these, she sat opposite, watching me (as i thought) and trying to keep something like a conversation consisting chiefly of commonplace remarks. in fact, my attention was almost wholly absorbed in my dinner: not from appetite, but from the toughness of the beefsteaks, and the numbness of my hands. “i have had so little time to attend to their education myself, but i think they are clever children, and very willing to learn, especially the little boy; he is, i think, the flower of the flock a generous, noble-spirited boy, one to be led, but not driven, and remarkable for always speaking the truth.” “his sister mary ann will require watching,” continued she, “but she is a very good girl on the whole, though i wish her to be kept out of the nursery as much as possible, as she is now almost six years old, and might acquire bad habits from the nurses. i have ordered her bed to be placed in your room, and if you will be so kind as to look after her washing and dressing, and take charge of her clothes, she needs to have nothing further to do with the nursery maid.”i replied i was quite willing to do so; and at that moment the children entered the room. tom bloomfield was a well-grown boy of seven. mary was a tall girl, for her age of six, somewhat dark like her mother. the second sister was fanny, a very pretty little girl, looking little younger than mary. the remaining one was harriet, a little broad, fat, merry, playful thing of scarcely two, whom i had more desire for than all the rest but with her i had nothing to do.67. which of the following statements best describes how the writer felt when she entered mrs. bloomfields home?

this is a great exercise to help students learn synonyms and expand their vocabulary. if you find your seventh or eighth grade child is struggling with these newspaper activities, it may be an indicator that they have fallen behind in their reading skills. these activities were designed with a seventh or eighth grader in mind; therefore, while they are educational, they should be more of reinforcement (增强) instead of a major reading challenge. outlinesupporting detailsan approach to learning 71 students in seventh and eighth grades to newspapers can be helpful in learning english.newspaper 72 ask students to read the first paragraphs of a news story and write down the important and 73 facts to see if they can understand them. have students read
