高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

If there is one thing that matters in high school－and for your whole life－it is friendships．

My latest novel，THE UNWRITTEN RULE，is about a girl，Sarah，who falls for her best friend Brianna’s boyfriend，Ryan，but it’s more about wrestling with feelings for a guy that you know you shouldn’t have．A lot of the book deals with friendship，the kind of lifelong friendship that means the world to you．．．and what happens when you realize that maybe it isn’t what you think it is．

Maybe your best friend isn’t your best friend．Maybe she isn’t even a friend at all．

Friendships are tricky things．You can he sure everything is fine，and that your friendship is going to last forever．．．and it can just end．No explanation，no anything．And it is not easy．In fact，I think losing a friend is worse than losing a boyfriend，especially when it is a friend you’ve had in your life for a long time．

One of the things that Sarah struggles with in THE UNWRITTEN RULE，beyond her feelings for Ryan，is her friendship with Brianna—how long they’ve been friends，how she understands Brianna in a way no one else does，and what to do when a crack appears in their friend ship，not because of Sarah’s feelings for Ryan，but because Sarah begins to wonder if maybe Brianna isn’t her best friend after all．

Having a friendship end is incredibly painful and one of the things I hated when I was younger—and that I still hate now—is how people say．“Oh，it’ll be okay．You’ll move on，you’ll be fine．”

It is true that you will eventually move on and that you will be fine．But you will also always carry that lost friendship with you．It may not take up all of your heart like it does at first，but it will take part of it．

And that，I think，is something no one ever talks about and that I wish we could — and would．

What do you do when someone you are friends with decides your friendship is over? How do you deal with it?

Maybe my latest novel can provide something for you．

47．From the passage we can infer that_____．

A．it may takes Sarah a long time to recover after she lost Brianna’s friendship

B．Sarah and Brianna are still best friends after a long period of time

C．Sarah does not value Brianna’s friendship at all

D．Ryan would feel puzzled about his real love

48．What do you think the book THE UNWRITTEN RULE is mainly about?

A．Friendship．    B．School life．   C．Love．  D．Wrestling with feelings．

49．What’s the writer’s attitude towards friendship?

A．We will all lose some friends in our life．

B．Ending a friendship is worse than losing a boyfriend．

C．It’s usual when a crack appears．

D．You will eventually move on after you lose a friendship．

50．What do you think is the best title for the passage above?

A．My Latest Novel．    B．Tricky Friends．

C．Sarah and Brianna．    D．Unforgettable Friendship

It may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech. As some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately, such moments are usually not obvious to the listeners. Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser. When such moments occur, don’t worry about them. Just continue as if nothing happened.

Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that don’t really matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther King’s famous speech – “ I have a dream”, you may notice that he stumble（结巴）over his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you don’t remember. Why? Because you were fixing your attention on its message rather than on his way of speech-making.

People care a lot about making mistakes in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication. They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performer. They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that expresses the speaker’s ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speaker’s attractiveness by making him more human.

As you work on your speech, don’t worry about being perfect. Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.

1.The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one will ________.

A. be smarter than you

B. know what you are talking about

C. do better than you

D. notice your mistakes

2.You don’t remember obvious mistakes in a speech because ________.

A. you find the way of speech-making more important

B. you don’t fully understand the speech

C. you don’t know what the speaker plans to say

D. your attention is on the content

3.From the last two paragraphs, the author means that ________.

A. giving a speech is like giving a performance

B. the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is made

C. one to two mistakes in a speech may not be bad

D. the more mistakes a speaker makes, the more attractive he will be

4.What would be the best title of the passage?

A. How to Be a Perfect Speaker

B. Don’t Expect a Perfect Speech

C. Don’t Expect Mistakes in a Speech

D. How to Make a Perfect Speech

One of the things that makes your smart-phone so smart is that if you pull it out in the sun, it senses that—and dials up the screen brightness to compensate. But it’s not a perfect solution.

“First of all, it’s still not bright enough—you have to remember how respectable sunlight is.” Shin-Tson Wu, a physicist at the University of Central Florida. The other problem, he says of the brightened screen, is it kills the battery. So Wu and colleagues have produced a battery-sparing alternative: an anti-reflective screen-coating. Based on the eyes of moths. “Nature is so rich! We can learn a lot from nature. “The thing Wu and others have learned about moth eyes, is that they’re uneven, dotted with tiny projections. That uneven surface reduces the reflection of light off their eyes- thought to help the bugs escape predators (捕食者), and see better in low light. So Wu and his team built a similar surface with tiny dimples (凹), to cut down on glare. He says the dimpled coating could improve the readability of a screen by five to 10 times, compared to a normal smart-phone screen. The details are in the journal Optica.

The tech hasn’t been commercialized yet, and that could take a few years. Which gives researchers time to take advantage of another property of these surfaces: they’re flexible. Meaning the possibility of bendable displays. Combine that with the bendy batteries we reported on in a recent podcast(播客), and it looks the smart-phones of the future could be set for a real transformation.

1.Why do the researchers develop the anti-reflective screen-coating?

A.To brighten the screen. B.To make profits.

C.To take in the sunlight. D.To save the use of battery.

2.What inspired the invention of the screen?

A.The predators. B.The reflection of light.

C.The eyes of moths. D.The smooth surface.

3.How does the screen work?

A.It helps bugs escape.

B.It slows down reading.

C.The smooth surface protects our eyes.

D.The rough surface decreases the reflection of light.

4.What do the researchers expect of the screen?

A.I’ll transform itself. B.I’ll be environment-friendly.

C.I’ll reach consumers soon. D.I’ll be powered by recyclable batteries.
