GreatMartin“12 Years a Slave is a surprisingly underwhelming movieIt is more of a string of picture about several heartless and evil white men(and women)who are just mean without the motivation of running a plantation on their mindsThere is very little character development and most of the film relies on what the audience already knows and feels about slavery” 一一GeminiJefNever have I been stunned into an emotional silence after watching a film in the theaterIve come out of films before thinking” My god，that was unbelievable”，like when I saw The Lord of the Rings for the first time，but this film just hits you on another level entirelyYou sit there after its over，wondering if what youd just experienced was realThe day afteryou feel the same”一一Pauljohnson“This movie is just an average movie about slaveryAre you kidding me，segregation movies are a dime a dozen and this movie beat out Gravity for Golden Globes?

Lucien Lawrences letter to his father for Christmas written after his father had been knifed to death outside his school gate，must have touched everyones heart.Lucien went on to say that without his father he couldnt see the stars in the sky.When those whom we love depart from us，we cannot see the stars for a while.But Lucien，the stars are still there，and one day，when you are older and your tears have gone，you will see them again.And，in a strange way，I expect that you will find your father there，too，in your mind and heart.I find that my parents，who died years ago，still figure in many of my dreams and that I think of them perhaps more than I ever did when they were alive.I still live to please them and Im still surprised by their reactions.I remember that when I became a professor，I was so proud，or rather so pleased with myself that I couldnt wait to cable my parents.The reply was a long time in coming，but when it did，all my mother said was “I hope this means that now you will have more time for the children！” I havent forgotten.The values of my parents still live on.It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care.Would I have been as ready as Philip Lawrence have been to face the aggressors，and to lay down my life for those in my care？How many people would want me back for Christmas？Its a serious thought，one to give me pause.I pray silently，sometimes，in the dead of night，that ancient cry of a poet “Deliver my soul from the sword，and my darling from the power of the dog.” Yet I know the death comes to us all，and sometimes comes suddenly.We must therefore plan to live forever，but live as if we will die tomorrow.We live on，Im sure，in the lives of those we love，and therefore we ought to have a care for what they will remember and what they will treasure.If more parents knew this in their hearts to be true，there might be fewer knives on our streets today.【语篇解读】一个孩子在圣诞节对已经去世的父亲撕心裂肺的呼唤让人情不能已，潸然泪下。孩子，虽然亲人与我们两世相隔，可是他们永远活在我们心中，恍如昨天。虽然世人难免一死，但是如果大家互相关怀，没有了暴力和谋杀，世界岂不更加美好？1According to the whole text we can see that the first paragraph_.Aputs forward

with babies on their backs, buckets balanced on their heads, and in each hand a bright-blue plastic jug. On good days, they will wait less than an hour before a water tanker goes across the dirt path that serves as a road in Kesum Purbahari, a slum on the southern edge of New Delhi. On bad days, when there is no electricity for the pumps, the tankers dont come at all. “That water kills people,” a young mother named Shoba said one recent Saturday morning, pointing to a row of pails filled with thick, caramel (焦糖)-colored liquid.“Whoever drinks it will die.”The water was from a pipe shared by thousands of people in the poor neighborhood. Women often use it to wash clothes and bathe their children, but nobody is desperate enough to drink it.There is no standard for how much water a person needs each day, but experts usually put the minimum at fifty litres. The government of India promises (but rarely provides) forty. Most people drink two or three litresless than it takes to wash a toilet. The rest is typically used for cooking and bathing. Americans consume between four hundred and six hundred litres of water each day, more than any other people on earth. Most Europeans use less than half that. The women of Kesum Purbahari each hoped to drag away a hundred litres that daytwo or three buckets worth. Shoba has a husband and five children, and that much water doesnt go far in a family of seven, particularly when the temperature reaches a hundred and ten degrees before noon. She often makes up the difference with bottled water, which costs more than water delivered any other way. Sometimes she just buys milk; its cheaper. Like the poorest people everywhere, the people of New Delhis slums spend a far greater percentage of their incomes on water than anyone lucky enough to live in a house connected to a system of pipes.1 The underlined word “slum” most likely means _.A. a villageB. a small townC. an area of a town with badly-built, over-crowded buildingsD. the part of a town that lacks water badly2. Sometimes the water tanker doesnt come because _.A. the weather is badB. there is no electricityC. there is no waterD. people dont want the dirty water3. A person needs at least _ litres of water a day.A. a hundred B. four hundred C. forty D. fifty4. Which of the following statements is wrong?A. a hundred litres of water a day is enough for Shobas familyB. Americans uses the largest amount of water each dayC. in Kesum Purbahari milk is cheaper than bottled waterD. Shoba has a family of seven people5. The passage mainly tells us _.A. how women in Kesum Purbahari gets their waterB. how much water a day a person deedsC. that India lacks water badlyD. how India government manages to solve the problem of water【参考答案】15、CBDAC【重庆市南开中学2020高考英语二诊考试】请阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的A，B，C，D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。It is hard to imagine that such a small country，the size of Indiana with the population of Alaska，tucked in the Himalaya Mountains，accessible only by two airplanes，is the “Happiest Country in the world and has one of the fastest growing GDPS in the worldThis country is Bhutan，“Land of the Thunder Dragon”，which is located in South Asia and is encompassed by India，China，and NepalBhutan is the last standing Buddhist Kingdom in the World and，until recently，has preserved much of their culture since the l7th century by avoiding globalization and staying isolated from the worldInternet，television，and western dress were banned from the country up until ten years agoOver the past ten years globalization has begun to change in Bhutan，but things remain perfectly balancedBhutan is the only country in the world that has a GNH，which refers to “Gross National HappinessThe process of measuring GNH began when Bhutan opened up to globalizationIt measures peoples quality of life，and makes sure that “material and spiritual development happen together”Bhutan has done an amazing job of finding this balanceBhutan has continually been ranked as the happiest country in all of Asia，and the eighth Happiest Country in the world according to Business WeekIn 2020，Bhutan had the second fastest growing GDP in the world，at the same time as maintaining their environment and cultural identityIn 2020，in Bhutans first democratic election，28-year-old Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wang Chuck was elected president of BhutanHe promises to “maintain a stance （立场)of protection against the worst aspects of globalization，maintaining the Gross National Happiness”But Jigme himself is no stranger to globalizationHe attended high school at Phillips Academy and university at Wheaton College and then graduated from Oxford44The underlined word “encompassed in the first paragraph most probably means _ .AcoveredBsurroundedCseparatedDguarded45Why is Bhutan regarded as “the happiest country”?ABecause it changes its policy and begins to open upBBecause it uses “GNH” to measure its achievementCBecause it stresses both material and spiritual developmentDBecause it has the second fastest growing GDP in the world46What Can we infer from the last paragraph?AThe election in Bhutan is far from satisfactoryBGlobalization has influenced Bhutans religionCJigmes educational background will cause distrustDPeople in Bhutan will continue living a happy life47Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?【参考答案】4447、ACDD【陕西省西北工业大学附属中学2020第六次模拟】A阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C,D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。OSCAR THEATREBOOKING- in personThe Box Office is open Monday to Saturday, 10 am-8 pm.- by postStating the performance and choice of seats, enclosing a cheque, postal order, or your credit card details to Oscar Theatre Box Office, PO Box 220, Main street.
