On Christmas Eve, 1944, my grandmother urged my uncle, then 12 years old, to slip out of the concentration camp where they were imprisoned near 15 miles east of Vienna to go to Deutsch-Wagram. “People are charitable around Christmastime,” Grandma Lili said to her son, Gyuri. “Ask for some food. Anything they can spare. Tell them that we’re on the edge of starvation. Tell them that your 3-year-old sister can not get off the bed because she’s outgrown her shoes.”
In the dark of that night, Gyuri secretly left the camp and walked nearly four miles to Deutsch-Wagram, the closest town. He happened upon a house and knocked on the front door. A woman opened that door. She was probably alone, her man far away, fighting in the war, her children asleep in their beds. The 12-year-old pieced together in German exactly what his mother had told him to say.
“Come back tomorrow," whispered the woman. The next day, my uncle returned. The woman opened the door with a smile. She piled his hands with bread, clothing, a pair of shoes that her child had outgrown and a pair of socks. The woman had knitted warm socks for my mother. After putting on the socks and shoes that fit, my mother got off the bed in delight. Her ragged shoes were passed on to a younger child who was also living in the camp. They shared their unexpected harvest with the entire camp. It was a quiet celebration of human kindness around Christmastime.
In April 1945, my mother, uncle and grandmother were liberated. And it was those very socks and shoes that my mother wore as she walked some 28 miles over two days to Bratislava on her walk to a new life.
To the unknown giver, I thank you. In the desperation of a cold and snowy land, when many hearts were closed and death was more likely than life, especially for Jews, you gave them hope and comfort.
1.What did Gyuri manage to do on Christmas Eve?
A. Get permitted to go out.
B. Receive food and clothing.
C. Express what his family needed.
D. Celebrate Christmas in the camp
2.Why does the author mention shoes so many times?
A. To prove the truth of the story.
B. To help the development of the story.
C. To attract readers’ attention to the story.
D. To make clear the background of the story.
3.What feeling did the author write the text with?
A. Desperation. B. Gratefulness.
C. Excitement. D. Sorrow.
4.What is the passage mainly about?
A. Light in darkness. B. Peace to common people.
C. Courage in face of danger. D. The influence of Christmas.

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
In 2010, after six years of training and further six years on the wards, I resigned from my job as a junior doctor. My parents still haven’t forgiven me.
Last year, the General Medical Council wrote to me to say they were taking my name off the medical register. It wasn’t exactly a huge shock, as I hadn’t practiced medicine in half a decade.
It was, however, excellent news for my spare room, as I cleared out box after box of old paperwork, tearing files up fast. One thing I did rescue from the jaws of death was my training portfolio (档案袋). All doctors are recommended to log their clinical experience, in what’s known as reflective practice. On looking through this portfolio for the first time in years, my reflective practice seemed to involve going up to my hospital on-call room and writing down anything remotely interesting that had happened that day.
Among the funny and the dull, I was reminded of the long hours and the huge impact being a. junior doctor had on my life. Reading back, it felt extreme and unreasonable in terms of what was expected of me, but at the time I’d just accepted it as part of the job. There were points where I wouldn’t have stepped back if an entry read “had to eat a helicopter today”.
Around the same time that I was reliving all this through my diaries, junior doctors in the here and now were coming under fire from politicians. I couldn’t help but feel doctors were struggling to get their side of the story across (probably because they were at work the whole time) and it struck me that the public weren’t hearing the truth about what it actually means to be a doctor. Rather than shrugging my shoulders and ignoring the evidence, I decided I had to do something to redress the balance.
So here they are: the diaries I kept during my time in the NHS, verruca’s and all. What it’s like working on the front line, the consequences in my personal life, and how, one terrible day, it all became too much for me. (Sorry for the spoiler of my book beforehand, but you still watched Titanic knowing how that was going to play out.)
Along the way, I’ll help you out with the medical terminology and provide a bit of context about what each job involved. Unlike being a junior doctor, I won’t just drop you in the deep end and expect you to know exactly what you’re doing.
1.Which of the following can be put in the blank in Paragraph 2?
A.But I found it a hard job to pick up my practice of medicine.
B.But I found it an easy task to turn over a new leaf in the long term.
C.But I found it a simple act to get involved in self-reflection as a junior doctor.
D.But I found it a big deal on an emotional level to permanently close this chapter of my life.
2.The author cleared out box after box of old paperwork so fast because .
A.he was disappointed at being dismissed from the NHS
B.being removed from his position served his purpose
C.being rescued from the jaws of death discouraged him
D.he had promised to keep his patients' personal information secret
3.The phrase “had to eat a helicopter today” in Paragraph 4 indicates that a junior doctor has to .
A.work hard for promotion B.equip himself with practical skills
C.look through all the portfolios D.live up to some extreme expectations
4.Which of the following best explains “redress the balance” underlined in Paragraph 5?
A.Argue with politicians. B.Tell the full story of doctors.
C.Collect more solid evidence. D.Win the support of the public.
5.What does the author intend to do by writing this article?
A.Reveal what it means to be a junior doctor.
B.Inform readers of some medical knowledge.
C.Give some background information on a book.
D.Encourage more people to practice medicine.
6.What attitude does the author hold towards the NHS?

C.Ambiguous. D.Doubtful.

On the 3rd of July,about six in the morning,I was watering my flowers.A young man entered the garden.He was blonde,beardless;he wore a German cap and gold glasses in a proud way.A long,loose woolen coat hung down in a sad way around his body.He wore no gloves;his leather shoes had huge soles.I put down my watering-pot, and greeted him in German with:"Guten Morgen!”＂Monsieur,"he said to me in French, but with a very unpleasant accent,"my name is Hermann Schultz;I have come to pass some months in Greece,and I have carried your book with me everywhere."
That praise filled my heart with sweet joy;the stranger's voice seemed more beautiful than Mozart's music,and I directed a swift look of gratitude toward his gold glasses.You would hardly believe how much we love those who have taken the trouble to understand our jargon(行业术语)。
I took him by the hand and seated him beside me on the garden-bench.He told me that he was a botanist and that he had a commission from the"Jardin des Plantes"in Hamburg.In order to complete his herbarium(植物标本馆)，he was studying the country,the animals,and the people.He expressed himself uneasily,but with frankness which inspired confidence.He questioned me,if not about every one in Athens,at least about all the principal persons in my book.In the course of the conversation,he made some statements on general subjects,which seemed to me quite insightful.Therefore, they motivated me to think more deeply and get a more reasonable opinion.At the end of an hour we had become good friends.
1.How did the author find the young man at first?
A.Fashionable.
B.Unfavorable.
C.Easy-going.
D.Indifferent.
2.Why did the author feel grateful to the young man?
A.Because he brought the author a good pair of glasses.
B.Because he thought highly of the author's achievements.
C.Because he delighted the author with Mozart's music.
D.Because he took the time to read the author's work.
3.What can we infer about the young man from the last paragraph?
A.He was good at public speaking.
B.He was lacking in self-confidence.
C.He was slow in learning German culture.
D.He was enthusiastic about studies of plants.
4.What's the author's purpose in writing the text?
A.To introduce a young botanist's achievements.
B.To show the start of his friendship with a stranger.
C.To describe the benefits of doing gardening.
D.To explain the beauty of studying biology.

Thousands of dead red-winged blackbirds fell from the sky in an Arkansas town on New Year’s Eve after massive injuries, tests by Arkansas officials concluded on Monday. Some 5,000 birds mysteriously fell from the sky in Beebe, Arkansas after dark on New Year’s Eve. “The birds suffered from acute physical injuries leading to internal hemorrhage（大量出血） and death. There was no sign of infectious disease,” the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission said in a statement. The birds were otherwise healthy, it said.
One theory is that birds were frightened by New Year's fireworks and flew into buildings or other objects. “Loud noises were reported shortly before the birds began to fall from the sky,” the statement said, adding that blackbirds have poor night vision and seldom fly at night.
Another theory was that severe weather such as lightning accounted for the loud noises but this was discounted because the violent weather had already left the area. “We’re leaning more toward a stress event," said Arkansas Game and Fish Commission spokesman Keith Stephens.
The commission also is trying to determine what caused the deaths of up to 100,000 fish over a 20-mile stretch of the Arkansas River near a dam in Ozark, 125 miles west of Beebe. The fish were discovered on December 30. Stephens said the commission expected results on the fish tests in probably a month. Since almost all the fish were one species -- bottom-feeding drum, Stephens said, the test was very important. Stephens also said: “The events do not appear related.” Both that section of the river and the air at the site of the bird deaths were tested for toxins(毒素). Beebe is a town of about 4,500 people located 30 miles northeast of the state capital.
1.What is NOT the probable reason why the dead red-winged blackbirds fell from the sky?
A. Internal hemorrhage B. Fireworks
C. Lightning weather D. Murder
2.In the third paragraph, the underlined word discounted probably mean________.
A. not to reduce cost B. not to believe
C. to make up a part D. to explain mystery
3.According to Stephens, we can infer the probable cause of the dead fish is _________.
A. cold weather B. poor management
C. disease D. lack of food
4.The passage is mainly developed by __________.
A. analyzing causes B. making comparisons
C. examining differences D. following the time order
