高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
Holiday was over. The school bus was due to pick up my daughters in four minutes, and they were doing their last minute gathering of shoes, water bottles, lunches, and backpacks.
“Don’t forget it’s Tuesday,” I called to my eight-year-old daughter as she headed for the boots lying next to the door. “Tennis shoes for P.E.,” I added.
My child suddenly stopped and turned to face me, grasping her right arm with her left. “Mama, my arm hurts today. Could you write me a note that says my arm is sore?”
“You want me to write a note now? You should have thought of it sooner.”
“Sore arm? Let me guess — too much Nintendo Wii (一种电子游戏)?”
“You will be fine. Come on, we need to go. The bus is coming.”
I thought of those responses.
But I didn’t say them.
From past experiences, I could see how this situation would play out if I chose sarcasm (讽刺), unfriendliness, and annoyance over understanding, responsiveness, and respect.
Choosing unfriendliness in a moment of conflict had once resulted in breaking into pieces my husband’s coffee pot in the kitchen sink.
And then came regret.
Anger was the reason I lost all control one day when I was unable to locate my car in a sea of vehicles.
And then came regret.
Despite the years that have passed since those incidents, I can still see my children’s faces, staring at me in horror wondering what had become of me in those moments.
I disliked myself in those moments. I wanted to run away and hide. But most of all, I didn’t want to be that changeable person anymore.
Facing one of those situations, I knew my response could either make or break the situation. So I took a 3-second pause before opening my mouth.
I noticed there were real tears welling in my daughter’s eyes…real tears she didn’t want to fall… real tears she was actually pushing back with her fingers.
That 3-second pause was just long enough for me to realize this sadness, this pain, this worry of my child’s was real. And a note to the P.E. teacher was very important to her.
I wrote the quick note, and handed it to my child. I never knew I had the power to hand someone a little bit of peace, comfort…
“Thank you, Mama,” she said quietly, color coming back to her face.
I thought of my child’s sore arm throughout the day. And although I don’t always make the right choice with my words, I knew I had that time.
“When I got to P. E., I saw they were doing something I could do, even with a sore arm. So I kept the note in my pocket and played,” my daughter told me later.
Thank goodness, things are different now. The goal of each tough situation is to speak in a way I can be heard … to listen in a way that the other person can be heard … and to walk away feeling at peace with the way the situation was handled.
I’ve started a new list — a list of thoughtful responses that I’ve offered. This list inspired me to write a hopeful reminder — 3-second pauses have the power to save a morning, spare some pain, and prevent regret from being a lifelong companion. May it bring someone else hope too!
1.Why did the author’s daughter want a note?
A. She wanted to ask for a one-day sick leave.
B. She was unable to exercise for a sore arm.
C. She didn’t feel like attending a P.E. lesson.

2.Instead of responding instantly, the author paused for a while, because _________.
A. she was wondering how the arm was hurt
B. she doubted if her daughter was telling a lie
C. she was angry for her daughter’s skipping P.E.
D. she was seeking a better solution to the situation
3.How did the children feel when the author lost control of herself?
A. Disappointed and frightened. B. Confused and scared.
C. Painful and regretful. D. Unfriendly and annoyed.
4.Why did the author decide to write a note?
A. She wanted to make up for her past overreactions.
B. She didn’t want to make her daughter disappointed.
C. She thought it was proper to do so after consideration.
D. She didn’t want to start a conflict with her daughter.

高三英语完形填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
A year ago Michelle was looking forward to all the joys—and challenges—that being a young mother can bring. Instead the 26-year-old victim of a stroke (中风), was left trapped in her own body—able to see, think and hear perfectly but unable to speak or move a muscle. She was a victim of the devastating “locked-in syndrome”, －sometimes described as “like being buried alive”－a type of brain damage usually caused by a stroke, a bleed or a tumour. This means the only way she could communicate with her husband Rick and their two young children was through moving and blinking (眨眼) her eyes.
Before the tragedy, Michelle was an active mother. She suffered the stroke while bathing her baby daughter, Holly. The only warning Michelle had of the stroke was a series of splitting headache in the months before.
Following the attack, the only part of her body she could move was her eyes, meaning all she could do was look up to say ‘yes’ or close an eyelid for ‘no’. Her family have a board with the alphabet (字母表) arranged on different colored backgrounds. They painstakingly work out which letter she wants by indicating each letter on the board. It allows Michelle to explain how she is feeling and whether she is cold or warm. She sends messages to her family and even tells if her son Ryan has been naughty, giving instructions about which toys he can play with.
Rick, 24, has given up his job as a mechanic to look after their children Ryan, three, and Holly, one, and is now training to be Michelle’s full-time carer. Ryan was old enough to know his mummy was unwell but Holly was too young to understand. But she responds really well to Michelle.
To keep her involved in family life, when one of the children needs new clothes Rick will ask for her opinion using the alphabet board. Although it can take minutes to spell out each word the family and nurses wait patiently as it is her only means of communication.
Last month her best friends organized a sponsored running, which raised almost £17,000.
She has been in hospital for almost a year and has left twice, once for her brother’s wedding and once for a fund-raising event.
Doctors say it is hard to predict her future but she is showing slight signs of improvement. She has started to gain control of her mouth and tongue and can now move her head slightly.
1.The devastating “locked-in syndrome” must be a disease caused by _________.
A. being buried alive B. a kind of cancer
C. sudden brain damage D. the problem of blood
2.It is true that Michelle ________.
A. can no longer express herself B. used to be a woman in poor health
C. can manage her own message D. is good at talking with her eyes
3.Arrange the time order of the following events.
a. Rick gave up his job as a mechanic.
b. Michelle suffered a series of splitting headache.
c. Michelle’s best friends organized a running.
d. The tragedy happened while bathing Holly.
e. Michelle showed her yes and no by blinking
A. a-b-c-d-e B. b-e-c-a-d C. d-b-e-a-c D. b-d-e-a-c
4.The author tells the story of Michelle in order to ______.
A. inform of a rare disease and draw attention to its victim
B. describe the terrible life condition of a patient’s family
C. show the wonderful results of family love to a patient
D. tell about the ever-lasting truth: health is above wealth
