4.【2013•福建龙岩一中期中】 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A A woman saw three old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard, hungry. She did not know them but invited them in. “ We do not go into a house together,” they replied. And she asked why. One of the old men explained: “His name is Wealth,” pointing to one of his friends, “and he is Success, and I am Love.” Then he added, “ Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home.” The woman went in and told her husband what had happened. Her husband was overjoyed. “How nice!” he said. “Since that is the case, let Wealth come in and fill our home with wealth!” His wife disagreed, “My 中学, why not invite Success?” Their daughter-in-law gave her own suggestion: “Wouldn’t it be better to invite Love? Our home will be filled with love then.” “Let’s heed our daughter-in-law’s advice,” said the husband to his wife. “Go out and invite Love to be our guest.” Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other two also got up and followed him. Surprised, the woman asked Wealth and Success: “I only invited Love, why are you coming in?” The old men replied together. “If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would have stayed out. But since you invited Love, wherever he goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!” 61. The underlined word “heed” means “ ”. A. give B. refuse C. follow D. offer 62. What’s the best title of the passage? A. The importance of Love. B. An old couple and Love. C. Which one is the best choice? D. Wealth, success and love. 63. From the story, we can know that the daughter-in-law is full of . A. care B. imagination C. love D. cleverness B Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time. In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get a success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you. Happiness doesn’t mean money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转的)door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person. 65. When you do something wrong, people around you will . A. quarrel with you B. help you correct it C. do something wrong like you D. laugh at you 66. What will your friends say when you make great progress? A. Oh, so do I B. Congratulations! C. Good luck! D. Just so-so 67. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. People who have cars would never like to walk in the open air. B. You can get help from others when you are in trouble. C. You can still be a happy person even if you have little money. D. Happiness is always around you though difficulties come towards you. 68. The passage mainly tells us . A. parents always care for our life and health B. we’re not happy if we meet with difficulties C. happiness is always around us D. life is colorful C Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Sure, there are times when we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend. No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don’t get along well. That doesn’t mean they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named in this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places. There is more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people who don’t have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares. If someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself. 69. The first paragraph tells us . A. what is the feeling of having no friends B. we always need friends around us C. making friends is a need in people’s life D. we need to be alone in our life 70. Which of the following places people name after their friendly people is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. A town. B. A room. C. A school. D. A library. 71. Why do people who have friends live longer? A. They feel happier and healthier. B. They know more about friendship. C. They take less care of themselves. D. They care more about their friends. D There is no excuse for not doing your assignments(作业). If you can’t come to school, you should call your teacher or your classmate and ask about homework. It is your responsibility(责任)to find out what homework you have missed. It is not the teacher’s job to remind you of the missed assignments. You must not be absent on a test day. If you are seriously ill, call and let the teacher know you will not be there for the test. If your teacher allows a make-up test(补考)，you should take the test within one or two days after you return to class. Serious illness is the only reason for missing a test. Be on time! It is impolite to be late. Also, it bothers other students. If you must come in late, be sure to do it quietly. Have your books and papers out of your bag before you come into the room. Then go to your seat and sit down quietly. In the USA, it is not necessary to knock before you enter the classroom. Most teachers will give you a low grade if you are often late. In America, you should call your teacher by his or her last name instead of “teacher”. Also you should use Mr., Miss, Ms or Mrs. before the last name (such as Mrs. Smith or Mr. Jones). This is polite. The teacher will tell you the title that he or she likes. It is impolite in the USA to eat, drink or chew gum during class. Don’t do these until the break. Also, removing your shoes in the classroom is not polite. 72. What should you do if you miss a class? A. Give an excuse for missing the assignments. B. Tell the teacher you can’t come to school or do the assignments. C. Ask your teacher to remind you of the missed assignments. D. Call your teacher or your classmate to find out what assignments were given. 73. When can a student miss a test according to the passage? A. When he / she is late for the test. B. When he/ she is really sick. C. When he / she failed another test. D. When he / she doesn’t want to have the test. 74. In America, if your teacher’s name is Susan Black, what should you call her politely? A. Ms Black B. Ms Susan C. Susan Black D. Teacher Black 75. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. A student is thought to be impolite when he / she takes off his / her shoes in the classroom. B. A student is thought to be impolite when he / she eats and drinks in class. C. When a student is late for class, he / she must knock before he / she enters the classroom. D. A student is thought to be impolite when he/she doesn’t come for class on time. E Let us begin by saying what causes our dreams. Our dreams do not come from another world. They are not messages from some outside source (来源).They are not a look into the future, either. All our dreams have something to do with our feelings, fears, longings, wishes, needs and memories. If a person is hungry, or tired, or cold, his dreams may include a feeling of this kind. If the covers on your body, such as a quilt or a blanket, have slipped off your bed, you may dream that you are sleeping on ice or in snow. The material for the dream you will have tonight is likely to come from the experience you have today. So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has effect on you while you are sleeping(feeling of cold, a noise, a discomfort, etc.)and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and the interests you have now. This is why children are likely to dream of fairies, older children of school examinations, hungry people of food, home-sick soldiers of their families and prisoners of freedom. To show you how this is happening while you are asleep and how your needs and wishes can all be joined together in a dream, here is the story of the experiment. A man was asleep and the back of his hand was rubbed with a piece of absorbed cotton. He would dream he was in hospital and his charming girlfriend was visiting him, sitting on the bed and feeling gently his hands! (责任编辑：admin) |
