I was looking forward to having five fays off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought Id hitch a ride (搭便车).I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldnt give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured （使放心）me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home. Twenty-five years later, in 2020, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour Id been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water. After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You havent changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.” I couldnt remember where Id met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.36. The author had to hitch a ride one day in 1978 because .

When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice. After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car.She kept thanking me for my kindness. “Its nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”“Oh, youre such a good man.” She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”“Its not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.“Oh, Im in no hurry,” she said. “Im on my way to a hospice(临终医院). I dont have any family left. The doctor says I dont have very long.”I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(计价器).For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.Sometimes shed ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.At dawn, she suddenly said,” Im tired. Lets go now.”We drove in silence to the address she had given me.“How much do I owe you?” she asked.“Nothing.” I said.“You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers,” I answered.Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto e tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”40.

Several weeks later,my sons teacher asked me to meet him at his office.In the teachers office, and exchange of greetings was followed by his questions: “Is your son mentally retarded(弱智的)？Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability?”Was he talking about my wonderful Scola? NO,no,it cant be. What a helpless,lonely moment! I told him that Scola was a quiet,sweet little boy,instead.I asked him why he was asking me all these questions.My son could not follow the teachers directions, he told me,and thus,Scola was disrupting the class,Didt he know my son did not speak English yet?He was angry; “Why hasnt your son been taught to speak English? Dont you speak English at home?”No,I didnt speak English at home,I replied. I was sure my son would learn English in a couple of months,and I didnt want him to forget his native language.Well,wrong answer! What kind of person would not speak in English to her son at home and at all time? “Are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars and send them back to their country, never wanting to be a part of this society?”Needless to say,I tried to tell him I was not one of “those people.” Then he told me the meeting was over,and I left.As I had expected,my son learned to speak English fluently before the school year was over.He went on to graduate from college and got a job,earning close to six figures.He travels widely and leads a well-adjusted, contented life. And he has benefited from being bilingual(双语的)。Speaking more than one language allows people to communicate with others;it teaches people about other cultures and other placessomething very basic and obviously lacking in the “educator” I met in New Jersey.43.The teacher asked the author to his office_.A to discuss Scolas in-class performance B to get Scola enrolled in kindergartenC to find a language partner for Scola D to work out a study plan for Scola44.What does the underlined word “disrupting” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A Breaking B Following C Attending D Disturbing 45.The authors attitude towards being bilingual may best be described as_.A critical B casual C positive D passive 46.This text is likely to be selected from a book of _.A medicine B education C geography D historyDAs the railroads and the highways shaped the American West in the past centuries, a new electhical generating（发电）and transmission（输送）systen for the 21th century will leave a lasting mark on the West, for better or worse. Much of the real significance of railroads and highways is not in their direct physical effect on the scenery, but in the ways that they affect the suurouding community. The same is true of big solar ppants and the power lines that will be laid dowm to move electricity around.The 19th century saw land grants（政府拨地）offered to railroad companies to build the transcontinental railroads ,leaving public land in between privately owned land . In much of the west ,some of the railroad sections were developed while others remained undeveloped ,and in both cases the landownership has presented unique challenges to land management ,with the completion or the interstate highway system ,many of the small towns which sprang up as railway stops and developed well ,have lost their lifeblood and died .Big solar plants and their power lines will also have effects far beyond their direct footprint in the west .this is not an argument against building then ,we need alternative energy badly .and to really take advantage of it we need to be able to move electricity around far more readily than we can now .So trade-offs will have to be made .some scenic sport will be sacrificed .some species (物种)will be forced to move ,or will be carefully moved to special accommodations ,deals will be struck to reduce the immediate effects .The lasting effects of these trade-offs are another matter .the 21st century development of the American west as an ideal place for alternative energy is going to throw off a lot of power and money to do a lot of good .but it is just as likely that they will be spent wastefully and will leave new problems behind ,just like the railroad and the highway .The money set aside in negotiated trade offs and the institution that control will shape the west far beyond the immediate footprint of power plants and transmission lines .so let s remember the effects of the railroad and the highways as we construct these new power plants in the west .47.What was the problem caused by the construction of the railways ?A. Small towns along the railways became abandoned.B. Some railroad stops remained underused.C. Land in the West was hard to manage.D. Land grants went into private hands.48.What is the major concern in the development of alternative energy according to the last two paragraphs ?A. The transmission of power. B. The use of money and power. C. The conservation of solar energy. D. The selection of an ideal place. 49.What is the author s attitude towards building solar plants ?A. Cautious B. Approving C. Doubtful D. Disapproving 50.Which is the best title for the passage ?A. How the Railways Have Affected the West B. How Solar Energy Could Reshape the West C. How the Effects of Power Plants Can Be Reduced D. How the Problems of the Highways Have Been Settled曲沃二中2020学年度第一学期高三年级第二次月考英语试题题号1234567891011121314151617答案题号1819202122232425262728293031323334答案题号35363738394041424344454647484950答案第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）根据短文内容，从下框的A-F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。 选项中有一项为多余选项。51. Pet-keeping is a time-honored tradition. One of the reasons for people to raise dogs or cows was usefulness. While people in the past hunted animals and kept them in their backyards, the civilsed man today is less cruel towards them and is less exploitative(利用的).52. We keep animals as pets because they are attractive. We all have the urge to possess something that has aesthetic（审美的）value, and this is why we treasure paintings or fine furniture. Keeping pets is one form of this urge. A Siamese cat in the house can be a decorative object. Pets are playful animals and they amuse us. A little rabbit amuses us by its playful and lively runs.53.Many parents find it helpful to have pets in the house for their children. Habing pets is an excellent way of developing in children the love of animals and reponsibility. Children get the opportunity to take on full responsibitity for another creatures life. It will be an educational expreience for a child to watch the natural life cycle of an animal. There are psychological benefits for children. Pets are welcome friends for children who are lonely. Pets are excellent companions. Keeping pets means giving love and being loved. We find comfort in giving care and receiving care in return. We get pleasure from their appearance and their behavior.54. As more people move into apartments, there are limitations on keeping of animals like dogs and monkeys. Therefore, caged animals have increased in popularity. Birds fall into this group. We keep them for their beautiful songs and feathers. Fish-
