完形填空（20小题，30分）江西省宜春市上高二中2013-2014学年高二上学期第二次月考试题in the depths of my memory, many things i did with my father still live. these things have come to represent, in fact, what i call _16_ and love.i dont remember my father ever getting into a swimming pool. but he did _17_ the water. any kind of _18_ ride seemed to give him pleasure. _19_ he loved to fish; sometimes he took me along.but i never really liked being on the water, the way my father _20_. i liked being at the water, moving through it, _21_ it all around me. i was not a strong _22_， or one who learned to swim early, for i had my _23_. but i loved being in the swimming pool close to my fathers office and _24_ those summer days with my father, who _25_ come by on a break. i needed him to see what i could do. my father would stand there in his suit, the _26_ person not in swimsuit.after swimming, i would go _27_ his office and sit on the wooden chair in front of his big desk, where he let me _28_ anything i found in his top desk drawer. sometimes, if i was left alone at his desk _29_ he worked in the lab, an assistant or a student might come in and tell me perhaps i shouldnt be playing with his _30_. but my father always _31_ and said easily, “oh, no, its _32_.” sometimes he handed me coins and told me to get _33_ an ice cream.a poet once said，“we look at life once, in childhood; the rest is _34_.”and i think it is not only what we “look at once, in childhood” that determines our memories, _35_ who, in that childhood, looks at us?16a. desirebjoycanger dworry17a. avoid brefusecpraise dlove18a. boat

every day. a few days ago, my car was not running well. i pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic (机械师) had it fixed in just a few minutes. he knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine（发动机）. i was amazed. the sad truth is: great talent is not enough.i am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn. i heard the other day that less than 5 percent of americans earn more than $100, 000 a year. a business consultant（顾问）who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially. it was th is business consultant who gave me the phrase, “they are one skill away from great wealth.”there is an old saying that goes, “job means just over broke (破产)”. and unfortunately, i would say that the saying ap plies to millions of people. because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence, most workers “live within their means”. they work and they pay the bills. instead i recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn.when i ask the classes i teach, “how many of you can cook a better hamburger than mcdonalds?” almost all the students raise their hands. i then ask, “so if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come mcdonalds makes more money than you?” the answer is obvious: mcdonalds is excellent at business systems. the reason so many talented people are poor is because they focus on building a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems. the world is filled with talented poor people. they focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.1. the author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that_.a. he is just one of the talented people b. he is ready to help othersc. he has a sharp sense of hearing d. he knows little about car repairing2. “live within their means” in the third paragraph can be best replaced by_ .a. spend more than they can afford b. do in their own wayc. live in their own circle d. live within what they earn3. why do talented people earn so little according to the autho r?a. they dont work hard enough. b. they lack financial intelligence.c. they dont make full use of their talents.d. they have no specialized skills.4. the main purpose of the author is to tell us_ .a. how young people can find a satisfactory jobb. what schools should teach studentsc. why so many talented people are poord. how mcdonalds makes much money b河北省正定中学2013-2014学年高二上学期第一次月考试题welcome to your future life!you get up in the morning and look into the mirror. your face is firm and young-looking. in 2035, medical technology is better than ever. many people of your age could live to be 150, so at 40, youre not old

chip.its time to go to work. in 2035, cars drive themselves. just tell your “smart car” where to go. on the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve. such “smart technology ” is all around you.www. .comso will all these things come true? “for new technology to succeed,” says scientist andrew zolli, “it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.” the internet is one example. what will be the next?5. we can learn from the text that in the fut ure _. a. people will never get old b. everyone will look the samec. red will be the most popular color d. clothes will be

very wealthy parents, who preferred his “clever” older brother. at age 8, anthony was sent away to a boarding school in his native england, even though he screamed and pleaded with（恳求）his parents year after year not to send him. “the thought was it would be good for me,” he recalled.it was not. anthony did badly in his studies, had few friends and was bullied for five years. “my teachers couldnt have had a lower opinion of me,” he said. “i wasnt even smart enough to rebel. the one thing i remember from the very earliest age was the desire to write. when i was 10 years old, i remember asking my parents to get me a typewriter fo r my birthday because i wanted to be a writer.”now, at 55, anthony is one of the worlds most successful childrens book authors. his alex rider series has sold more than 5 million copies, and the eighth book featuring the young spy, crocodile tears, has come out.the alex rider books tell the adventures of 14-year-old alex rider, an agent for the british intelligence agency m16.anthony says he doesnt try to write for kids; it just comes out that way. “i have a feeling that it has something to do with purity and simplicity. i give as little information as is necessary to describe the room, the character in the room, and get on with the action,” he said.the style has also made anthony a successful writer of television shows for adults in britain because, he says, writing books for kids is a lot like writing television for grown-ups: in both cases, its all about entertaining people with a good story.now, anthony couldnt be happier with his life. he sums up his success: “you can be anything you want to be if you just believe in yourself. i do believe it completely.”9. which of the following is true of anthony?a. he was the beloved child of his family.b. although he is successful, he isnt very happy.c. he places more emphasis on the characters behavior in his stories.d. studying in a boarding school proved a good choice for him.10. at boarding school, anthonys teachers_.a. often criticized himb. showed great concern for himc. encouraged him to be a writerd. thought little of his ability11. what would be the best title for the passage?a. anthonys popular booksalex rider seriesb. alex rider, a popular characterc. anthony, a successful childrens book authord. special writing style12. what advice does anthony give to readers?a. confidence is the key to success.b. hardship teaches valuable lessons.c. internet is the best teacher.d. failure is the mother of success. d沈阳二中20132014学年度上学期10月份 阶段验收高二you cant always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. but designer mikhail belvacv doesnt think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. thats why he created lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella. the designer says he come up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in russia. “once, i was driving on a central saint petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. i thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(伞蓬)built into a street lamp.” he said. the lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. it has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. sensors(传感器)then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining. in addition to the rain sensor, theres also a 360motion sensor on the biberglass street lamp which detects whether anyones using the lampbrella. after three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed. according to the designer, the lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lighting strike. each lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. being installed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians. while there are no plans to take lampbrella into production, belyacv says he recently introduced his creation one moscow department, and insists this creation could be installed on many streets where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter. 13. for what purpose did belyacv create the lampbrella?a. to predict a heavy rain b. to check the weather forecast c. to protect people from the rain d. to remind people to take an umbrella 14. which of the following show how the lampbrella works?a. motorcanopysensors b. sensorsmotorcanopy c. motorsensorscanopyd. canopymotorsensors来源:z|xx|k.com15. what does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the lampbrella?a. its moving speed b. its appearance c. its installation d. its safety 16. what can be inferred from the last paragraph?a. the designer will open a company to promote his product.b. the lampbrella could be put into immediate production. c. the designer is confident that his creation is practical.d. the lampbrella would be put on show in moscow. e福建省南平市光泽一中2013-2014学年高二上学期第一次月考试题i was in a terrible mood. two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadnt invited me. i was in my room thinking of ways to make them sorry when my father came in. “want to go for a ride, today, beck? its a beautiful day.”“no! leave me alone!” those were the last words i said to him that morning. my friends called and invited me to go to the mall with them a few hours later. i forgot to be mad at them and when i came home to find a note on the table. my mother put it where i would be sure to see it. “dad has had an accident. please meet us at highland park hospital”. when i reached the hospital, my mother came out and told me my fathers injuries were extensive. “your father told the driver to leave him alone and just call 911, thank god! if he had moved daddy, theres no telling what might have happened. a broken rib（肋骨）might have pierced（穿透）a lung.”my mother may have said more, but i didnt hear. i didnt hear anything except those terrible words: leave me alone. my dad said them to save himself from being hurt more. how much had i hurt him when i hurled (扔)those words at him earlier in the day? it was several days later that he was finally able to have a conversation. i held his hand gently, afraid of hurting him. “daddy i am so sorry”“its okay, sweetheart. ill be okay. ”“no,” i said, “i mean about what i said to you that day. you know, that morning?”my father could no more tell a lie than he could fly. he looked at me and said. “sweetheart, i dont remember anything about that day, not before, during or after the accident. i remember kissing you goodnight the night before, though. ”he managed a weak smile. my english teacher once told me that words have immeasurable power. they can hurt or they can heal(治愈). and we all have the power to choose our words. i intend to do that very carefully from now on.17. why did the author say sorry to hi
