高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

Once I spoke at a high school. After the speech, I was asked to see a special student. An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me, and it would mean a great deal to him. I agreed.

He was Matthew. When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to see five, then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal weight lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles(障碍) and going for my dreams.

I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain. He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously, he knew what he was talking about. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weight with me.

When we finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”

Last summer I got the news that Matthew had passed away and a letter Matthew had written me a few days before:

Dear Rick,

My mom said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. The doctors tell me that I don’t have long to live any more. But I still smile as much as I can.

I told you some day I was going to the Olympics and win a gold medal. But I know now I’ll never make it. But I know I’m a champion, and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you.

Thank you for loving me.

Your friend,

Matthew

高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

Mr. Omorogbe was originally set to graduate in 2014. But after a fight with his dad, he was “tossed out” on the street. Eventually, his grandmother took him in for a while, but with her working during the day, Omorogbe needed to care for his seriously ill grandfather. School eventually became too much, so he dropped out.

For many students across the country, circumstances like Omorogbe’s can derail (使偏离轨道) them the high-school-to-college track. In his case, Boston Public School’s Re-Engagement Center was able to connect him with EDCO Youth Alternative, a school that provides extra support to nontraditional and struggling students. He started in September 2016 and will have his diploma in hand by May.

“I have my counselor (指导教师) who calls me every day. If I miss school for two or three days, she’ll call me, and ask, ‘Are you OK?’ ” says Omorogbe. “During the vacations, she’ll call me; for my birthday, she’ll bake me a cake.”

Ten years ago, Boston high school students like Omorogbe were far less likely to get their diploma. In 2007, the city’s graduation rate was 59 percent. This year, in 2017, the number of Boston students who graduated in four years hit a record high of 72.4 percent. Statewide, the graduation rate inched up to a record 87.5 percent from 87.3 percent last year, according to state figures.

“You’re seeing gradual progress,” says Paul Reville, a professor at Harvard’s Graduate School of Education and former Secretary of education for Massachusetts. “We’re dealing with one of the most important problems that we have in education these days, which is people dropping out without a high school education and having no place to go in our economy.”

Education experts say Boston’s record graduation rate was particularly encouraging because of the gains by the city’s African-American and Latino students in the last decade – 13.6 and 16.5 percentage points respectively.

But with roughly 5,500 kids across the state still dropping out of high school every year, professor Reville and others admit that Massachusetts, widely recognized as having the nation’s leading education system, still has a long way to go.

1.Why did Omorogbe drop out of school?

A. He had a poor family.　　 B. He had no interest in his studies.

C. He was seriously injured in a fight.　　 D. He had to take on the role of a carer.

2.What does Omorogbe think of his counselor?

A. She’s strict.　　 B. She’s kind-hearted.

C. She’s open-minded.　　 D. She’s knowledgeable.

3.Which of the following is TRUE about Boston’s high school graduation rate?

A. It reached a record 87.5 percent this year.

B. There has been a rise of over 10 percent in 10 years.

C. This year’s figures show a sharp increase over last year’s.

D. Less than half of the students could graduate 10 years ago.

4.What’s the best title for the text?

A. The success story of Mr. Omorogbe

B. Boston students are regaining their confidence

C. The important role high school education plays

D. Reforms have given fresh hope to struggling students
