But Mary removed the towel and said:“Now arent you ashamed, Tom. You mustnt be so bad. Water wont hurt you.”Tom was a little unsettled. The basin was refilled, and this time he stood over it, took in a big breath and began. When he entered the kitchen presently, with both eyes shut and feeling for the towel with his hands, an honorable testimony of bubbles and water was dripping from his face. But when he came out from the towel, he was not yet satisfactory, for the clean territory stopped short at his chin and his jaws, like a mask; below and beyond this line there was a dark expanse of unirrigated soil that spread downward in front and backward around his neck. Mary took him in hand, and his flooded hair was neatly brushed, and its short curls formed into an elegant and regular general effect. Then Mary got out a suit of his clothing that had been used only on Sundays during two years - they were simply called his “other clothes” - and so by that we know the size of his wardrobe. After he had dressed himself, Mary checked over and over again. Now he looked extraordinarily improved but uncomfortable. He was fully as uncomfortable as he looked; for there was a self-control about whole clothes and cleanliness that annoyed him. When Mary brought out the shoes, he lost his temper and said he was always being made to do everything he didnt want to do. But Mary said, persuasively:“Please, Tom thats a good boy.”So he got into the shoes howling. Mary was soon ready, and the two children set out for Sunday-school - a place that Tom hated with his whole heart; but Mary was fond of it.56. The first time Tom washed his face, he _.A. dipped his face in the waterB. poured water on his faceC. wiped his face on the towelD. moved the towel on his face57.

It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness; amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age.Men often discover their affinity (密切关系) to each other by the mutual love they have for a book just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both entertain for a third. There is an old proverb, “Love me, love my dog.” But there is more wisdom in this: “Love me, love my book.” The book is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other through their favoriteauthor. They live in him together, and he in them.A good book is often the best urn(瓮) of a life enshrining the best that life could think out; for the world ofa mans life is, for the most part, but the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which, if remembered and cherished, become our constant companions andcomforters.Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lasting products of human effort.Temples and statues decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their authors minds, ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page. The only effects of time have been to filter out the bad products; for nothing in literature can long survive but what is really good.【小题1】A good book may be among the best of friends because_.Ait changes over the past of timeBit contains all kinds of knowledgeCit doesnt betray us when we are in troubleDit comforts us in youth and instructs us in age【小题2】“Love me, love my book” in paragraph 3 probably means _?AIf you love me, you must reading books.BThe book can be a bond between friends.CI love books as much I love friends.DIf you love the author, you will love his books.【小题3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?ATime can tell whether a literature is good or bad.BAll books are our constant companions and comforters.CTemples, statues and books cannot stand the test of time.DThe world of a mans thoughts is what his life is all about.【小题4】The best title for this passage can be.AReading BooksBA Good BookCOur Best FriendDCompanionship of Books2020高考英语阅读理解-人生百味类I may not be the wisest person on this planetbut I will tell you a little secret to happiness：Help other，and live lifeIt is that simpleJust help a friend study for a test，or volunteer at a nursing home I learned this after a long，hard searchI was feeling really down because my long4ime friend had diedThen I started a six-week volunteering at a nursing home all day every SaturdayMy routine was to serve the meal and clean upAfter that，I would wait for the head nurse to tell me what to doOne day I was told to go to Room 117 to make sure the patient was all rightIn the room I found a boy of eight sitting in his bed watching a movieI was shocked to see a child in this seemingly forgotten nursing home for the oldHe was so small and weak that you had to look closely to find himHe motioned for me to sit downI grabbed his medical chart from which later I found out he had a terminal illnessWe started to talk，and I found out that his family rarely visited，and all he did ever7 day was watch TVI wanted to cry for him，and for my lost friendAs we talked，he had a smile on his face，and I asked him whyThe entire two hours Ive been here youve never lost that smileWith this horrible disease，how do you still manage to stay happy？He thought for a moment，and then said that too many people are dead even before they dieThey walk around feeling that God has cursed (诅咒) them and that they have nothing to live forThe boy said that he would not be like thatHe wakes every morning thankful to see another sunriseHe keeps his window open so that he can smell the flowers and feel the heat of the sunHe also said that he has hopeToo many people havent seen much of that around here， he said， Life is full of hope and we need to live life before it is goneI dont know what happened to himI assume he passed away，but his lesson lives onI now wake up and live each day to the fullestThe key to life is not money or fame，but the lessons we learn from it【小题1】The nursing home in the passage is mainly for_Athe elderlyBthe homelessCthe disabledDthe abandoned【小题2】The boy stayed happy mainly due to_Awonderful TV programsBhis positive attitudeCgood medical conditionDothers encouragement【小题3】The writer participated in the volunteering job in order to_Afind out the secretBsearch for helpCenrich experiencesDget out of sadness【小题4】What would be the best title for the passage？AA Lesson in HopeBThe Life of a Sick BoyCA Voluntary JobDThe Meaning of Life阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。【2020一模试题】Recently a study, led by Pedro Hallal of the Federal University, suggests that nearly a third of adults, 31%, are not getting enough exercise. That rates of exercise have declined is hardly a new discovery. Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, technology and economic growth have helped to create a world in which taking exercise is more and more an option rather than a necessity. But only recently have enough good data been collected from enough places to carry out the sort of analysis Dr Hallal and his colleagues have engaged in.There are common themes in different places. Unsurprisingly, people in rich countries are less active than those in poor ones, and old people are less active than young ones. Less obviously, women tend to exercise less than men34% are inactive, compared with 28% of men. But there are exceptions. The women of Croatia, Finland, Iraq and Luxembourg, for example, move more than their male countrymen.Malta wins the race for most slothful country, with 72% of adults getting too little exercise, and Swaziland and Saudi Arabia are in close behind, with 69%. In Bangladesh, just 5% of adults fail to exercise enough. Surprisingly, six Americans in ten are active enough according to Dr Hallals study, compared with fewer than four in ten British.These high rates of inactivity are worrying. Human beings seem to have evolved(进化) to benefit from exercise while deliberately avoiding it whenever they can. In a state of nature it would be impossible to live a life that did not provide enough of it. But that is no longer the case. Actually lack of enough activity these days has nearly the same effect on life span(寿命) as smoking.29. We may learn from Paragraph 1 that_.A. the decline of exercise rates is newly discoveredB. the study suggests 31% of female adults get too little exerciseC. the good enough data has been collected from only one countryD. the industrial revolution has changed the way people live to some degree30. According to the study, women of Luxembourg_.A. have little time to exerciseB. hate to get regular exerciseC. take more exercise to lose weightD. exercise more than men in their country31. The underlined word “slothful” in Paragraph 3 most probably means_.A. powerfulB. richC. lazyD. unpopular32. What can be the best title for the text?A. Worldwide Lack of Enough ExerciseB. New Health DiscoveryC. Evolvement of Human BeingsD. Benefits of Taking Exercise【参考答案】29-32 DDCA阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。【2020一模试题】WelcometoArundel Castle which is situated in West Sussex, England.
