goal of their game was to write the word “shmily” in a surprise place for the other to find. they took turns leaving “shmily” around the house, and as soon as one of them discovered it, it was their turn to hide it once more. they dragged “shmily” with their fingers through the sugar and flour containers to await whoever was preparing the next meal. “shmily” was written in the steam left on the mirror after a hot shower, where it would reappear bath after bath. there was no end to the places where “shmily” would pop up. little notes with “shmily” were found on car seats, or taped to steering wheels. the notes were put inside shoes and left under pillows. “shmily” was written in the dust upon the mantel（壁炉架）and traced in the ashes of the fireplace. this mysterious word was as much a part of my grandparents house as the furniture.it took me a long time before i was able to fully appreciate my grandparents game. skepticism has kept me from believing in true love - one that is pure and enduring (持久的). however, i never doubted my grandparents relationship. it was based on passionate（热情的）affection which not everyone is lucky enough to experience.but there was a dark cloud in my grandparents life: my grandmother had breast cancer. the disease had first appeared ten years earlier. as always, grandpa was with her every step of the way. he comforted her in their yellow room, painted that way so that she could always be surrounded by sunshine, even when she was too sick to go outside. but my grandmother grew steadily weaker until, finally, she could not leave the house anymore. then one day, what we all dreaded finally happened. grandma was gone.“shmily.” it was written in yellow on the pink ribbons of my grandmothers funeral bouquet (花束). as the crowd thinned and the last mourners turned to leave, grandpa stepped up to my grandmothers coffin and, taking a shaky breath, he began to sing to her. through his tears and grief, the song came: s-h-m-i-l-y: see how much i love you.36. according to the passage, where may the word “shmily” be found?a.in the flour containersb. on the mirrorc. on the sheet of toilet paperd. on pillowse.on the furniturea. a, b b. b, c c. a, d d. b, e37. the first paragraph is mainly about _.a. what the word “shmily” meansb. how the authors grandparents played their special gamec. how the author appreciated her grandparents gamed. how the authors grandparents cared for each other38. according to the passage, the author _.a. thought the game was meaninglessb. believes everyone can experience true lovec. sometimes left “shmily” around the house d. doubted the existence of true love at first39.grandpa tried to make grandma comfortable by _.a. singing songs to her every dayb. encouraging her to go outside c. painting the room yellowd. helping her take a hot shower every day屯溪一中2013-2014学年高二上学期期中考试in ancient egypt, the pharaoh(法老）treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. however, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off.shades of that spirit spread over todays conversations. once a friend and i packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. as we walked light heartedly out the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, “oh boy, bad day for a picnic. the weatherman says its going to rain.” i wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. not for his stupid weather report, for his smile.several months ago i was racing to catch a bus. as i breathlessly put my handful of cash across the grey hound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile，“oh that bus left five minutes ago. ” dreams of head-cutting!its not the news that makes someone angry. its the unsympathetic attitude with which its delivered. everyone must give bad news from time to time, and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude. a doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. a boss informing an employee he didnt get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver.unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. when you are tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isnt ready yet? when you had your heart set on the toast beef, has your waiter told you that he just served the last piece? it makes you as traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, i would have appreciated his warming. had the greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, i probably would have said, “oh, thats all right ill catch the next one.” big winners, when they bear bad news，deliver bombs with the emotion the hombarded(被轰炸的）person is sure to have.40. in paragraph l, the writer tells the story of the pharaoh to _a. make a comparison b introduce a topicc. describe a scened. offer an argument41. in the writers opinion, his neighbor was_.a.friendly b.not considerate c warm-hearted d. not helpful42. from “dreams of head-cutting！(paragraph 3) ,we learn that the writer_.a.was mad at the sales agentb. was reminded of the cruel pharaohc. wished that the sales agent would have had dreamsd. dreamed of cutting the sales agents head that night.43. what is the main idea of the text?a. delivering bad news properly is important in communication.b. helping others sincerely is the key to business success.c. receiving bad news requires great courage.d.learning ancient traditions can be useful. c福建师大附中2013-2014学年第一学期期中模块测试george gershwin, born in 1998, was one of americas greatest composers. he published his first song when he was eighteen years old. during the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs. many of gershwins songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in new york city. these plays were a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s. many of his songs have remained popular as ever. over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way from jazz to country. in the 1920s there was a debate in the united states about jazz music. could jazz, some people asked, be considered serious music? in 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader paul whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music. gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it. and in that short time, he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called rhapsody in blue. gershwin himself played the piano at the concert. the audiencewere thrilled when they heard his music. it made him world-famous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular. in 1928, gershwin went to paris. he applied to study composition (作曲)with the well-known musician nadia boulanger, but she rejected him. she was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazz-influenced style. while there, gershwin wrote an american in paris. when it was first performed, critics (评论家)were divided over the music. some called it happy and full of life, to others it was silly and boring. but it quickly became popular in europe and the united states. it still remains one of his most famous works. george gershwin died in 1937, just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer. he was only thirty-nine years old. newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages. people mourned the loss of the man and all the music he might have still written. 44. many of gershwins musical works were _ .a. performed in various waysb. composed for paul whitemanc. written about new yorkers d. played mainly in thecountryside45. what do we know about the concert organized by whiteman?a. it attracted more people to theatres b. it caused a debate among jazz musicians.c. it made gershwin leader of the orchestra d. it proved jazz could be serious music 46. what did gershwin do during his stay in paris?a. he changed his music style b. he studied with nadia boulangerc. he created one of his best works d. he argued with french critics47. which of the following best describes gershwin?a. talented and productive b. serious and boring c. popular and unhappy d. friendly and honestd福建师大附中2013-2014学年第一学期期中模块测试i have been consistently opposed to feeding a baby regularly. as a doctor, mother and scientist in child development i believe there is nothing to recommend it, from the babys point of view. mothers, doctors and nurse alike have no idea of where a babys blood sugar level lies. all we know isthat a low level is harmful to brain development and makes a baby easily annoyed. in this state, the baby is difficult to calm down and sleep is impossible. the baby asks for attention by crying and searching for food with its mouth. it is not just unkind but also dangerous to say a four-hourly feeding schedule will make a baby satisfied. the first of the experts to advocate a strict clock-watching schedule was dr. frederic truby king, who was against feeding in the night. ive never heard anything so ridiculous. baby feeding shouldnt follow a timetable set by the mum. what is important is feeding a baby in the best way, though it may cause some inconvenience in the first few weeks. well, at last we have copper-bottomed research that supports demand feeding and points out the weaknesses of strictly timed feeding. the research finds out that babies who are fed on demand do better at school at age 5, 7, 11 and 14, than babies fed according to the clock. by the age of 8, their iq(智商)scores are four to five percent higher than babies fed by a rigid timetable. this research comes from oxford and essex university using a sample(样本)of 10,419 children born in the early 1990s, taking account of parental education, family income, a childs sex and age, the mothers health and feeling style. these results dont surprise me. feeding according to schedule runs the risk of harming the rapidly growing brain by taking no account of sinking blood sugar levels. i hope this research will put an end to advocating strictly timed baby feeding practices.48. according to paragraph 2, one reason why a baby cries is that it feels_.a. sick b. upset c. sleepy d. hungry49. the word copper-bottomed in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _.a. reliableb. basic c. surprisingd. interesting50. what does the research tell us about feeding a baby on demand?a. the baby will sleep well.b. the baby will grow to be wiser by the age of 8.c. the baby will have its brain harmed.d. the baby will have a low blood sugar level.51. the author supports deeding the baby_.a. in the night b. every four hoursc. according to its blood sugar level d. whenever it wants food e余姚中学2013-2013学年高二期中考试have you ever gone to work to find that one of your coworkers is coughing and sneezing all day long? you do your best to keep a safe distance and wonder: why did he or she come to work when they were ill? the reality for many americans is that they do not have enough paid sick time each year to afford them the luxury of staying home because they dont feel well. this problem doesnt just affect the working employees who are sick，though. in an article by james warren for bloomberg business week, a second-grade school teacher, stilli klikizos shares about the sick children that must stay in school all day long because their parents cant get off work to come and get them. in the past school year, she had several children who were unable to be picked up at school who were later diagnosed with h1n1. there is a movement called the healthy families act in congress that would change this situation for
