高二英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

A little boy always thought of himself as the most unfortunate child in the world because polio (小儿麻痹症) made his leg lame and his teeth uneven. He seldom played with his classmates; when the teacher asked him to answer questions, he always lowered his head without a word.

One spring, the boy’s father asked for some seeds from the neighbor. He wanted to plant them in front of the house. He told his children to plant a seed each. The father said to them, “Whose seed grows best, I will buy him or her a gift.” The boy also wanted to get his father’s gift, but seeing his brothers and sisters watering the trees joyfully, anyhow, he hit upon an idea: he hoped the tree he planted would die soon. So watering it once or twice, he never attended to it.

A few days later, when the little boy went to see his tree again, he was surprised to find it not only didn’t become weak, but also grew some fresh leaves, and compared with the trees of his brothers and sisters, his tree appeared greener and more vital. His father kept his promise, bought the little boy his favorite gift and said to him, “From the tree you planted, you would become an outstanding botanist (植物学家) when you grew up.”

Since then, the little boy gradually became optimistic. One day, the little boy lay on the bed but couldn’t sleep. Looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, he suddenly recalled what the biology teacher once said, plants generally grow at night. Why not go to see the tree? When he came to the courtyard on tiptoe, he found his father was splashing something under his tree with a large spoon. All of a sudden, he understood: his father had been secretly fertilizing his small tree! He returned to his room, tears running down his face. Even if it is just a spoon of clear water, it can make the tree of life thrive.

1.It can be learned from paragraphs 1-2 that the little boy ______ .

A.was ambitious in spite of his disability

B.was disabled and therefore less confident

C.showed no interest in plants and quit watering the tree

D.felt lonely and unlucky due to the prejudice against him

2.Why did father help the little boy in the competition?

A.He intended to offer him a gift.

B.He believed that he is gifted in botany.

C.He attempted to give him more encouragement.

D.He wanted to help him adapt to his disability.

3.Which of the following might be the best title for the text?

A.The Best Nutrition of Life

B.A Precious Gift from Father

C.An Unforgettable Competition in Life

D.The Most Powerful Support for the Disabled

James Watt was an English boy. He was very clever and liked to ask questions.

One day, the boy was sitting in his grandmother’s kitchen. Above the fire an old-fashioned teakettle was hanging. The water within it was beginning to bubble. A thin cloud of steam was rising from the spout(壶嘴). Soon the lid(盖子)began to rattle and shake. The hot vapor puffed(冒出)out at a fast rate. Yet when the boy glanced under the lid he could see nothing.

“Grandma, what’s in the kettle?” little Watt asked. “Water, my child-nothing but water.” his grandma answered.” But I know there is something else. There is something under the lid and makes it rattle.” Grandmother laughed. “Oh, that is only steam,” she said. “You can see it coming out of the spout and puffing up under the lid.” “But you said there was nothing but water in the kettle. How did the steam get under the lid?” “Why, my dear, it comes out of the hot water. The hot water makes it.”

James lifted the lid and glanced inside again. He could see nothing but the bubbling water. The steam was not visible until it was fairly out of the kettle. “How strange!” he said. “The steam must be very strong to lift the heavy iron lid. Grandma, how much water did you put into the kettle?” “About a quart, James.” “Well, if the steam from so little water is so strong, why would not the steam from a great deal of water be a great deal stronger? Why couldn’t it be made to lift a much greater weight? Why couldn’t it be made to turn wheels?” Grandmother made no reply. These questions were more puzzling than profitable, she thought. She went about her work silently, and James sat still in his place and studied the teakettle.

So many years later, James Watt tried hard to make steam work for people. Finally he became very famous because he invented the first steam engine.

1.What can we conclude from the passage?

A.The steam comes from the hot water but can not be seen.

B.The grandmother laughed because James Watt was stupid.

C.The boiled water in the kettle made the lid rattle and shake.

D.The more water there is ,the more powerful the steam will be.

2.Why didn’t the grandmother reply to Watt’s questions?

A.Because she desired to work silently. B.Because she was very busy at that time.

C.Because she was tired of these questions. D.Because she found them difficult to answer.

3.James Watt can be described as　　　

A.clever but stubborn B.smart and observant

C.determined but rigid D.hardworking and cautious

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A.James Watt was inspired by the power of steam.

B.James Watt always made his grandmother puzzled.

C.James Watt made great contributions to our society.

D.James Watt liked to ask questions when he was young.
