高二英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
I was looking out the window that summer afternoon. It was as if the trees were inviting me to join in their impromptu(即兴的) dances as they played hide and seek in the misty fog. A strange stillness surrounded me as I sat in the hotel hall, waiting for the taxi to take me to the music camp site. I had flown for sixteen hours to attend a music camp in Michigan for three weeks. Excited more than I was nervous, I felt ready for new meetings.
A week passed like a breeze, and my cello(大提琴) notes were becoming sweeter. I took a break to the school shop with another Chinese friend. As I picked out my newfound favorite American candy bar, I noticed my friend chatting with another Chinese girl. I soon joined in with natural ease, and discovered that we were the only other Asians at the camp. It felt like a good chance that our friendship was formed forever.
During the orchestra rehearsals(排演), Mr. Lastrapes, a genius at discovering the slightest off-key note(走音的音符), persuaded me to relax my tightened arms with his soft voice and gentle manners, thereby allowing me to release notes that I could never create before. We continued to have two hours of rehearsals every day in a large hall that could hold 4,000 people. What we had instead was an audience of ducks and geese outside that swam so freely and happily to our melody(曲调). How an unusual experience I had!
All things, good or bad, must come to an end, when I waited to board the plane, I was looking out the airport window, thinking back at the heartfelt moment of farewell with my friend, Caroline, at the camp gates. We had promised to meet again, but how and when, she was returning to Kentucky, and I, to China. The cello strings were not long or tight enough to keep us connected.
1.How did the author feel when waiting in the hotel hall?
A.He felt excited to find out the great fun in nature.
B.He felt eager to have some unexpected meetings.
C.He felt worried about whether he would perform well.
D.He felt tired after flying a long journey to the music camp.
2.From para2 we know that ___________
A.the author was happy to find out his favorite snack.
B.the author felt good to have friends to accompany.
C.the author was lucky to make some lifelong friends.
D.the author found it easy to communicate with Asians.
3.Why did the author mention the ducks and geese?
A.He wanted to live a free and happy life like them.
B.He wanted to show he was relaxed and enjoyed the process.
C.He wanted to prove inspiration comes from daily life.
D.He wanted to show their music reached a wide audience.
4.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.They found it hard to say good-bye to each other.
B.They were not sure music could connect each other.
C.They knew maybe they are unlikely to see each other again.
D.They hugged each other without words at the camp gate.

Shortly after the war, my brother and I were invited to spend a few days with an uncle who had just returned from abroad. He had rented a cottage in the country, although he seldom spent much time there. We understood the reason for this after our arrival: the cottage had no comfortable furniture in it, many of the windows were broken and the roof leaked, making the whole house damp.
On our first evening, we sat around the fire after supper listening to the stories which our uncle had to tell of his many adventures in distant countries. I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to bed; but I could not bear to miss any of my uncle's exciting tales.
He was just in the middle of describing a rather terrifying experience he had once had when there was a loud crash from the bedroom above, the one where my brother and I were going to sleep.
''It sounds as if the roof has fallen in! '' cried out my uncle, with a loud laugh.
When we got to the top of the stairs and opened the bedroom door, we could see nothing at first because of the thick clouds of dust which filled the room. When the dust began to clear, a strange sight met our eyes. A large part of the ceiling had fallen down, falling right on to the pillow of my bed. I was glad that I had stayed up late to listen to my uncle's stories, otherwise I should certainly have been seriously injured,perhaps killed.
That night we all slept on the floor in the sitting room downstairs, not wishing to risk our lives by sleeping under a roof which might at any moment fall down on our heads. We left for London the very next morning and my uncle gave up his cottage in the country. This was not the kind of adventure he cared for either!
1.Why did the uncle seldom spend much time in the country cottage?
A.Because he was used to living abroad.
B.Because there was no furniture in it.
C.Because the cottage was in bad condition.
D.Because the roof of the cottage was falling.
2.When they opened the bedroom door, they could see nothing at first because ________.
A.there was too much dust in the air
B.something strange blinded them
C.it was completely dark inside
D.it was too bright inside
3.The writer felt glad that he had stayed up late because ________.
A.he saw a strange sight
B.he did not miss the exciting stories
C.he spent more time with his uncle
D.he had a lucky escape

My daughter recently asked me what a Travel Agency does. There is one located on our street and it has just been completely rebuilt. I told her that they helped people book their trips and vacations. “Why haven’t we ever been in there?” she wanted to know. “Because we do everything ourselves online these days” I explained. “But why do it yourself if other people want to do it for you?” she wondered out loud.
The answer is that the travel agency makes a little bit of money on each ticket you book through them. If you book your ticket yourself, online, you save that money. Saving money sounds great except that when you think about it you typically spend three evenings comparing prices to end up saving $30 on a $300 trip. All those $30 discounts add up of course so I guess we should be happy with that.
Still, how bad is it really to pay someone $30 and trust them to buy you something decent? Wouldn’t you say your free evenings are worth more than $10 a piece?
Consider books for a moment. Buying your book at Amazon saves you maybe 30% to 40% on each book. Add to that the convenience of shopping from home and getting the package delivered to your home address. So far so good.
Unfortunately that does mean you spend way too much time browsing Amazon. com while you could do something fun instead. Like maybe reading an actual book?
Then the package arrives and you aren’t home and end up having to pick it up at the local post- office. All in all I wonder how much time I end up investing in the whole process.
Time sounds free, but to most of us, it is more valuable than money.
The Internet Economy promised to get rid of the middle-men and we loved it. Somehow, I’m starting to get the feeling that we ourselves ended up doing the work of that middle-men we were so eager to get rid of.
In any project you can always pick two of these: fast, cheap or good. We seem to have focused a lot on ‘cheap’ and ‘good’ but the extra time we need to invest to keep it ‘fast’ comes out of our own pockets.
You can always make more money but you can never make more time.
1.What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
| A．It mainly shows the curiosity of the author’s daughter. |
| B．It indicates that the Internet has influenced our daily life. |
| C．It tells us the importance of a travel agency. |
| D．It shows why people need a travel agency. |
2.What’s the author’s attitude towards the Internet Economy?
| A．The author thinks online shopping saves time and is a convenient way to buy products. |
| B．The author worries about sending personal information over the internet. |
| C．The author doesn’t think online shopping is satisfactory in every way. |
| D．The author likes the convenience but is concerned about the e-commerce environment. |
3.What’s the best title for the passage?
| A．The convenience of the Internet Economy. |
| B．How to save money in the Internet Economy. |
| C．The hidden cost of the Internet Economy. |
| D．How to save time in the Internet Economy. |
