高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

It was in October. I was aimlessly wandering down the street, heading into a most gloriously beautiful sunset. I had an urge to speak to someone on the street to share that beauty, but it seemed everyone was in a hurry.

I took the next-best action. Quickly I ducked into a department store and asked the lady behind the counter if she could come outside for just a minute. She looked at me as though I were from some other planet. She hesitated, and then seemingly against her better judgment, she moved toward the door.

When she got outside I said to her, “Just look at that sunset! Nobody out here was looking at it and I just had to share it with someone.”

For a few seconds we just looked. Then I said, “God is in his heaven and all is right with the world.” I thanked her for coming out to see it; she went back inside and I left. It felt good to share the beauty.

Four years later my situation changed greatly. I came to the end of a twenty-year marriage. I was alone and on my own for the first time in my life. I lived in a trailer park which, at the time, I considered a real come-down, and I had to do my wash in the community laundry room.

One day, while my clothes were going around, I picked up a magazine and read an article about a woman who had been in similar circumstances. She had come to the end of a marriage, moved to a strange community, and the only job she could find was one she disliked: clothing sales in a department store.

Then something that happened to her changed everything. She said a woman came into her department store and asked her to step outside to look at a sunset. The stranger had said, “God is in his heaven and all is right with the world,” and she had realized the truth in that statement. From that moment on, she turned her life around.

1.The author asked the woman to go outside to ______.

A. admire the sunset　 B. cheer her up

C. offer some help 　 D. have a chat

2.Four years later, the author ______.

A. found her dream job

B. put an end to her marriage

C. worked in a laundry room

D. lived in the same community

3.After reading the article in the magazine, the author was probably ______.

A. disappointed　　 B. puzzled

C. inspired 　　 　 D. overjoyed

4.Which of the following shows the right order of what happened?

a. I shared a few words and beautiful sunset with the woman.

b. The woman I met years ago got into frustration after divorce.

c. I got divorced and felt lost in my life.

d. I came across a beautiful sunset but had no one to share with.

e. The woman felt astonished by the invitation from a stranger.

f. I recognized the woman I met before in the magazine.

A. b, d, e, f, a, c　　 B. d, e, a, c, f, b

C. d, e, a, f, b, c D. b, d, e, a, c, f

5.What can be the best title for the passage?

A. Sharing Beauty　 B. Never give up

C. Beauty of Life　 D. An Unforgettable experience

The heat was intense as we moved down the long corridor. Not only was it a difficult blaze， but the July heat made things even worse as we struggled to get the best of the flames. As we finally made the turn into the apartment where the fire had started, the words of the young mother outside screamed in my brain, ‘Please help! My baby is in there!’

We moved into the bedroom and I started looking in the usual spots where a child might seek refuge: under the bed, in the corners. As I groped my way through the thick smoke, I suddenly fell forward, tripping over something on the floor. It was the child. Ripping off my mask to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, I grabbed the child and raced for the stairs. When we reached the waiting Rescue Squad members, I collapsed in a heap in the gutter. The ambulance sped off into the night, its siren wailing. Later that evening, we received word that the child had died in the hospital’s emergency room. Another small life lost in the city.

Why do little children such as that one have to pay the price for the neglect of others? During my career as a fire fighter, I have seen this happen many times. You would think that we would become hard and callous, but we don’t. We mourn each person who dies. What bothers me is that many senseless tragedies could have been prevented. An overwhelming number of deaths in fires can be prevented by just one thing – a smoke detector. It is estimated that fewer than 50 percent of all dwellings in the United States are protected by smoke detectors. Why are so many people ignorant about the need for smoke detectors? Smoke detectors save lives. They are easy to install. Their cost is reasonable, and they offer immediate protection.

People must persuade their communities to provide fire education for everyone. The money spent on fire education reaps a reward that cannot be measured. If you do not think so, then consider your reactions if the child I carried out of that flaming apartment had been a member of your own family. You would probably then be willing to do anything at all to undo that tragedy.

1.The author’s main purpose in the passage is to __________.

A. advertise a new brand of smoke detector.

B. persuade readers to become fire fighters.

C. plead for donations from the public.

D. encourage fire safety measures.

2.In the Section About carrying the child from the building, the author is describing

_________.

A. a scene the author saw in a movie

B. a tragedy in a fire fighter’s family

C. a personal experience

D. a training course in fire education

3.According to this reading, which of the following opinions will the author most

agree with?

A. People have received enough fire education provided by their communities.

B. Many deaths in Fires could have been prevented.

C. The fires in apartments are always caused by smoking.

D. Fire Fighters don’t have sympathy for those who die in fires.

4.The author blames the lack of smoke detectors in households on the reason that________.

A. smoke detectors are too expensive

B. smoke detectors often cannot work properly

C. smoke detectors are difficult to install

D. people are ignorant about the need for smoke detectors.

Do you know the open-air art gallery in London's Blackall Street? Probably -not. Not many  Londoners know it either, but Henri does and he is willing to show it to you.

Henri used to sleep in parks until he met a charity(慈善机构) that helps homeless people get  back on their feet by becoming tour guides.

Rather than show traditional London sights, “Unseen Tours" take people off the beaten track. Henri has been teaching tourists about the history and architecture of Shoreditch, where he slept on public benches for three years.

When he felt separated from the society, contact with the volunteer network "The Sock Mob" gave Henri hope. "Not everyone just looked down on me," he said. The tours aren't the only actions trying to help those who have suffered a misfortune to stand tall again.

An innovative(创新的) college for homeless people in London, the first of its kind in the country, is attracting hundreds of students. The Recovery College, set up by St Mungo's charity, is providing courses designed to improve technical skills and life skills.

According to Andy Williams, who helps to organize the college, the most popular courses have proved to be about raising self-confidence and developing self-pride.

Steve, now in his 50s, told a reporter how much of a difference it makes to "have a bit of confidence". He had difficulty learning to read and had to leave school when he was 12. Because Steve's problem was not recognized at the time, he was "seen to be unable to read or write", and suffered with depression and alcohol addiction. He says the status of "student" is itself important for people who are used to being treated as outcasts（被遗弃者）

Some charities aim not only to help the homeless become independent but also to make them popular. The Homeless World Cup started ten years ago. Today the tournament draws teams from 48 countries made up of players-men and women-who are, or have been, living in the streets.  It gives them a chance to become football heroes.

1.The underlined part "take people off the beaten track" means "take people to______.”

A. famous galleries                          B. traditional sights

C. unusual places                            D. public benches

2.How does the Recovery College help the homeless people?

A. By training them to be guides

B. By offering them different courses.

C. By keeping in contact with them.

D. By asking more students to help them.

3.At the age of 12, Steve _______ .

A. wasn't treated as a normal student

B. had much confidence in himself

C. didn't want to study at school

D. left school because of depression

4.The purpose of the Homeless World Cup is to help the homeless people _______.

A. become football stars                     B. improve life skills

C. gain self-confidence                      D. find proper jobs

5.Which is the best title for the passage?

A. Confidence Back Now.                    B. London Tour.

C. The Popular Homeless.                    D. Football Heroes.

We know that many animals do not stay in one place. Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons: most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded.

When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration(迁移) is probably the migration of the fish, which is called “salmon”. This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies there. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.

Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster(龙虾). Every year, when the season of bad weather arrives, the lobster get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go.

So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another, but at other times we don’t. Maybe living things just like travel.

1.Most animals move from one place to another at a certain time to _____.

A. give birth　　 B. enjoy warmer weather

C. find food more easily　　 D. find beautiful places

2.The mice in northern Europe move when _____.

A. they need fresh water　　 B. the weather is bad

C. the place gets too crowded　　 D. they haven’t enough food

If you look around the streets of London, you’ll see the many methods people use to move around. 1. Now there’s a new addition: electric, or e-scooters (滑板车).

This traditional children’s vehicle has become more complicated over the years. And now,　 with the addition of a small electric motor, it’s become a cheap and easy mode of transport.　 Scooting around town can be fun and doesn’t involve much effort. 2. But considering accidents involving an electric scooter in the UK, questions are being asked about their safety and whether traffic laws should be changed.

Many e -scooter riders in the UK broke the law. Some have been seen on pavements, others on the road jumping red traffic lights, adding to the frustration of motorists stuck in jams. In the　 UK, the law states that riding one on the public highway or pavement is forbidden. But, despite this, it seems the increasing popularity of e-scooters means they can be seen everywhere. 3.

The UK government is looking at how safely they can be used on the road and is ‘reviewing’　　 the law. But its transport minister, Michael Ellis, has told the BBC that: “Micromobility products are appearing in countries across the globe and are an exciting innovation for which we know there is demand. 4. ”

5. Despite the fact that some of them can exceed 30mph, they sometimes only have one brake and no lights. However confident the rider may be, larger vehicles on the road make them unprotected. So it seems more work needs to be done to give e -scooters a safe and legal space to travel in.

A.The roads are already crowded.

B.We are mainly after economic benefits.

C.People seldom see e-scooter accidents in the UK.

D.However, safety must always be our top priority.

E.And now users are calling on regulations to be changed.

F.There’s no doubt there are dangers in riding a two-wheeled scooter.

G.It’s no wonder they’re becoming increasingly popular in cities around the world.
