高二英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

Larry Ritsema was out for an early morning jog around his neighborhood one day. On a quiet street, he began to feel weak. Suddenly, everything went black. Larry fell to the ground.

Less than a minute later, Tom Alguire passed by on his bicycle. He caught sight of a man lying on the roadside, so he jumped off his bike and ran over. He recognized Larry immediately, because he had been Larry’s doctor for nearly 20 years.

Dr. Tom felt for a pulse (脉搏) at first. Finding none, he began to give Larry first aid. It wouldn’t restart Larry’s heart, but it would keep the blood flowing until someone else arrived. Tom could only hope someone would come by soon, at around six o’clock in the morning on a holiday weekend. Tom couldn’t stop pressing Larry’s chest to run for help — Larry’s brain cells would die without the blood. And Tom didn’t have a cell phone with him.

Soon, a car did drive by. But the driver ignored Tom’s appeal for help. What was he going to do? Tom was very worried. Finally, another car came down the road, driven by Michael Saliot, a U.S. Coast Guard Officer. Michael wasn’t one to pass up a chance to help a person in need. He quickly dialed 911.

Doctors then found that Larry had suffered a heart attack and there were severe blockages in two of Larry’s major arteries (动脉). Only the timely arrival of Dr. Tom saved his life.

How did Dr. Tom happen to be bicycling that morning, down that quiet street? It turned out that as Tom rode, his bike chain fell off. He spent about eight minutes fitting it back; otherwise, he would have seen nothing of Larry’s problem.

1.Doctor Tom gave Larry first aid in order to _____.

A. wake up Larry

B. keep Larry’s blood flowing

C. restart Larry’s pulse

D. stop Larry from bleeding

2.Why didn’t Tom call 911 for help?

A. He couldn’t stop pressing Larry’s chest.

B. He didn’t take a cell phone with him.

C. He was so nervous that he forgot to do it.

D. He was waiting for someone else for help.

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?

A. Larry Ritsema went to work early by bike that morning.

B. Tom Alguire saw Larry when Larry fell to the ground.

C. Michael Saliot was a man always ready to help others.

D. Tom fitted his bike chain back after Larry was sent to hospital.

4.According to the last paragraph, which of the following words can be used to describe Larry in his incident?

A. Surprising　　　　　　 B. Tragic　　　　　　 C. Smart　　　　　　　　 D. Lucky

A couple who held hands at breakfast every morning even after 70 years of marriage have died 15 hours apart. Helen Felumlee, died at 92 on April 12. Her husband, 91-year-old Kenneth Felumlee, died the next morning.

The couple’s eight children say the two had been inseparable since meeting as teenagers, once sharing the bottom of a bunk (双层) bed on a ferry rather than sleeping on night apart.

They remained deeply in love until the very end, even eating breakfast together while holding hands, said their daughter, Linda Cody. “We knew when one went, the other was going to go,” she said. According to Cody, about 12 hours after Helen died, Kenneth looked at his children and said, “Mon’s dead.” He quickly began to fade, surrounded by 24 of his closest family members and friends when he died the next morning. “He was ready,” Cody said, “He just didn’t want to leave her here by herself.”

Son Dick said his parents died of old age, surrounded by family.

The pair had known each other for several years when they eloped（私奔）in Newport across the Ohio River from Cincinnati, on Feb. 20, 1994. At two days shy of his 21st birthday, Kenneth-who went by Kenny-was too young to marry in Ohio. “He couldn’t wait.’ son Jim said.

Kenneth worked as a railroad car inspector and mechanic before becoming a mail carrier for the Post Office. He was active in the church as a Sunday teacher.

Helen stayed at home, not only cooking and cleaning for her own family but also for other families in need in the area. She taught Sunday school, too, but was known more for her greeting card ministry, sending cards for birthdays, sympathy and the holidays to everyone in her community, each with a personal note inside. “She kept Hallmark in business,” daughter-in-law Debbie joked.

When Kenneth retired in 1983 and the children began to leave the house, the Felumlees began to explore their love of travel, visiting almost all 50 states by bus. “He didn’t want to fly anywhere because you couldn’t see anything as you were going,” Jim said.

Although both experienced declining health in recent years, Cody said, each tried to stay strong for the other. “That’s what kept them going,” she said.

1.From the second paragraph we can infer ______.

A. Helen and Kenneth have two children

B. Helen and Kenneth have eight children

C. Helen and Kenneth once stayed on a ferry together

D. Helen and Kenneth loved each other since teenage times

2.From what Cody said, we can learn the children _____.

A. were not in front of their father

B. don’t look after their father

C. foresaw their father would go

D. surrounded their father

3.What can we learn from the fifth paragraph?

A. Helen and Kenneth got married when they didn’t reach the demanded ages.

B. Helen and Kenneth got married after they had known for 2 days.

C. Helen didn’t wait for Kenneth.

D. Kenneth was 22 years old when they got married.

4.How many jobs did Kenneth get?

A. Four.　　　　 B. Three.　　　　　　　 C. Two.　　　　　　 D. One.

We set off early ____ next morning and came to ____ unknown valley after about an hour.

高二英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

Every hour spent in watching TV, DVDs and videos as an adult reduces life expectancy by almost 22 minutes, a study suggests. And viewing TV for an average of six hours a day can cut short your life by five years.

The research claims that a sedentary(久坐的) lifestyle is as bad for health as smoking and obesity, because of the dangers caused by inactivity and the greater opportunities it offers for unhealthy eating.

The academics conducting the study set out to calculate the overall risk to life expectancy from watching television. Their research involved more than 11,000 people over the age of 25.

Writing in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, they concluded. "TV viewing time may be associated with a loss of life, which is similar to other major chronic disease risk factors such as physical inactivity and obesity."

The researchers, from the University of Queensland, used information from the Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle Study, together with population and death rate data.

But they said: "Although we used Australian data, the effects in other industrialized and developing countries are likely to be similar, considering the large amounts of time spent watching TV and similarities in disease patterns." In the United Kingdom, the average amount of time spent watching TV is four hours a day, compared with five hours in the United States.

Earlier this year, a separate study suggested the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and heart disease, or dying early, rises by as much as 20 percent after just two hours a day in front of the box.

England's Chief Medical Officer, Sally Davies, said: "Physical activity offers huge benefits and these studies back what we already know - that a sedentary lifestyle carries additional risks. We hope these studies will help more people realize that there are many ways to get exercise."

1.We can learn from the passage that_______

2.The word "it" in the second paragraph refers to

3.What do we know from the last three paragraphs?

4.The passage is intended to _______.
