Last year，I was on a plane with my friend, waiting for it to take off．The pilot's voice was heard throughout the plane “Sorry for the delay, ladies and gentlemen. Our engines don't work．We are going to jump-start them．Once we get them going, we’ll get up in the air and see what happens．"

That was all he said．"See what happens. Shouldn’t we have had a better plan than that？"At that point,I could only laugh nervously. One woman started crying, “OH，no! We are going to crash!”. There are sighs of desperation and anxiety, and we hadn't even taken off yet．

The pilot even seemed unhappy．He told us one engine was working double time and his plan was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did．We got up in the air，and what happened？

Nothing．We arrived in Norfolk, and no sooner had the wheels touched down than applause burst out as everyone on the airplane breathed a sigh of relief．

All too often, people stop achieving their goals just because they don't have a guaranteed result．But success will never be guaranteed. The best thing that you can do is to just get up in the air and see what happens．

If your aim is to build a business, then get up in the air and see what happens! Don't give yourself all the reasons why you can't．Do not wait until you have everything you need．You never will．

If your goal is to start a friendship，say"Hello",get up in the air and see what happens! The results could be very rewarding．If your goal is to learn a new skill, get up in the air and see what happens! It might not be as difficult as you think．It could be fun!

1.How did the author feel when the pilot said the engines didn't work？___

A. Disappointed　　 B. Anxious　　 C. Curious　　 D. Relieved

2.What can be inferred from the passage？___

A. The passengers began crying after the plane took off．

B. The engines often worked double time to get started．

C. The pilot tried to comfort the nervous passengers．

D. The passengers reached the destination safe and sound．

3.The underlined sentences in the last paragraph means"___"．

A. think carefully before you make friends．

B. start to fly the plane to see what will happen．

C. make an effort even if the result is uncertain．

D. get up from the chair and greet somebody．

4.What can be the best title for the passage？___

I was small for my age. I was shy and sometimes it was hard for me to make friends with the others. However, learning came fairly easy for me. I was the best in most of my classes, but PE class was my nightmare (恶梦) and made me feel that I was not as good as the others.

Miss Forsythe was our PE teacher. She was young and energetic. Everyone liked her. She said that we all had to come to her classes. No one could hide from Miss Forsythe!

One day she told me that she wanted me to play a game with another girl in a PE show. I was rather worried that I wouldn’t do a good job when she explained her idea, but she was excited. With her encouragement, I had no choice but to agree. It was a "boy meets girl" game. I played the boy and my classmate, Margaret Ann, played the girl. We were dressed in evening clothes and danced around the floor. According to Miss Forsythe, I had to pick up Margaret Ann when we finished the dance. Since I was not strong enough to pick the tallest girl up, it was she who picked me up. I suddenly felt ten feet tall!

It was a huge success and everybody applauded (鼓掌) for our excellent performance. What a wonderful ending! Afterwards, I smiled confidently (自信地).

Miss Forsythe’s understanding and willingness to create a place for me in her show (which certainly did not need me) gave me some much needed confidence. She was and always will be my favorite teacher.

1.What do we know about Miss Forsythe?

2.How did the author feel about the game at first?

3.What is the best title for the passage?

高一英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

My mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s (老年痴呆症) last summer. Suddenly, it was difficult for me to accept that the roles were now changed — my mother became my child, and I became her mother. I became impatient, argued with her, once I even yelled at her. Gradually, I was used to this kind of life. Now I am able to deal with her and the situation better. I have learned a lot of life lessons from the experience.

My mother reacts very sensitively to my feelings. That is typical of Alzheimer’s patients. When I visit her, feeling hectic and tense, she reacts immediately, takes on my mood, and becomes nervous and negative. But when I appear cheerful and attentive, she is happy. This has taught me to pay more attention to my own feelings when I am with other people.

Through the illness my mother has developed a childlike tactlessness (不得体). Eating out in restaurants, for example, is a bit embarrassing when she shouts at the waiter that the food is so bad or talks about people at the next table in a loud voice. Of course I make sure that my mother doesn’t hurt anyone, but I’ve stopped complaining about others and have become more tolerant.

I have also learned that everything has special value. When my mother got sick I didn’t want to burden my two daughters with it. They are young and have enough going on with their education, and starting their careers. I felt that it was simply my job as my mother’s daughter. The most wonderful discovery I’ve made through my mother’s disease may be that my children not only offer to help me, but that they take care of my mother on their own actively. They visit her often, play cards with her, and look at photo albums together with her. It shows me that it’s all worth it.

1.What does the underlined “hectic” in the Paragraph 2 mean?

A.delighted. B.touched.

C.surprised. D.stressed.

2.Which of the following is the common behavior of Alzheimer’s patients?

A.Being particular about clothes. B.Being curious about feelings.

C.Being afraid of strange people. D.Being sensitive to others’moods.

3.What can we know about the writer’s daughters according to the passage?

A.They are naughty. B.They are considerate.

C.They are traditional. D.They are selfish.

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A.How I Cared for My Sick Mother. B.How I Became More Tolerant.

C.What I Have Learned from Alzheimer’s. D.Why I Am Feeling stressed.

This has taught me to pay more attention to my own feelings when I am with other people.

I always thought I was very tolerant, but in reality, my tolerance ran out as soon as someone turned away from what I considered “right”. With my mother I can now really be tolerant. Through her illness she has developed a childlike tactlessness（不得体）. Eating out in restaurants, for example, is a bit embarrassing when she shouts at the waiter that the food is so bad or talks about people at the next table in a loud voice. Of course I make sure that my mother doesn’t offend（冒犯）anyone, but I’ve stopped complaining about others and have become more tolerant.

I have also learned that everything has special value. When my mother got sick I didn’t want to burden my two daughters with it. They are young and have enough going on with their education, and starting their careers. I felt that it was simply my job as my mother’s daughter. The most wonderful discovery I’ve made through my mother’s disease may be that my children not only offer to help me when they sense that I’m feeling overwhelmed（难以承受）, but that they take care of my mother on their own initiative（主动地）. They visit her often, play cards with her, and look at photo albums together with her. It shows me that it’s all worth it.

1.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

A. How I Cared for My Sick Mother
