A small family approached. The daughter was young and pretty. Her name was Blair, and she was obviously leaving. Her parents were not. The three gazed at the crowd and began their wait. Blair was twenty-three, fresh from graduate school with a handsome résumé (简历) but not ready for a career. A friend from college was in Africa as a volunteer for Peace Work, which had inspired Blair to devote the next two years to helping others. Her assignment was in eastern Peru, where she would teach primitive little children how to read. She would live in a hut with no modern conveniences, no electricity and no phones, and she was anxious to begin her journey.
The flight would take her to Miami, then to Lima, then by bus for three days into the mountains, into another country. For the first time in her young and sheltered life, Blair would spend Christmas away from home.
Luther, her father, was sad that Blair was leaving. The goodbyes had all been said. “Are you sure this is what you want?” had been asked for the hundredth time. Then, the first announcement was made, the one asking those in first class to come forward.
“I guess we’d better go,” Luther said to his daughter, his only child. They hugged again and fought back the tears. Blair smiled and said, “The year will fly by. I’ll be home next Christmas.”
Nora, her mother, bit her lip, nodded and kissed her once more. “Please be careful,” she said because she couldn’t stop saying it.
“I’ll be fine.”
They released her and watched helplessly as she joined a long line and inched away, away from them, away from home and security and everything she’s ever known. They turned and got inot endless sadness.
1.What’s the reason for Blair’s decision to help others?
A. Her friend’s behaviour.
B. Her successful career.
C. Support from her parents.
D. Her college’s requirement.
2.What were the family waiting for?
A. The flight to Lima.
B. The flight to Miami.
C. The bus to the mountains.
D. The bus to another country.
3.Which words can best describe Luther and Nora’s feelings?
A. Indifferent and cold.
B. Pleased and appreciative.
C. Heartbroken but relaxed.
D. Understanding but concerned.
4.What can we infer about Blair in the passage?
A. She was tired of city life.
B. She was twenty-three years old.
C. She used to spend Christmas in Peru.
D. She would be in first class in the flight.

高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析
Seventy years ago I was quite a small little girl, the baby of the family, with an older brother and sister. My father was very ill at the time, and my mother took in sewing of any kind so we could live. She would sew far into the night with nothing but dim gas mantles and an old treadle sewing machine. She never complained even when the fire would be low and the food very scarce. She would sew until the early hours of morning.
Things were very bad that particular winter. Then a letter came from where her sewing machine was purchased, stating that they would have to pick up her machine the next day unless payments were brought up to date. I remember when she read the letter I became frightened; I could picture us starving to death and all sorts of things that could come to a child‘s mind. My mother did not appear to be worried, however, and seemed to be quite calm about the matter. I, on the other hand, cried myself to sleep, wondering what would become of our family. Mother said God would not fail her, that he never had. I couldn‘t see how God was going to help us keep this old sewing machine.
The day the men were to come for our only means of support, there was a knock at the kitchen door. I was frightened as a child would be, for I was sure it was those dreaded men. Instead, a nicely dressed man stood at our door with a darling baby in his arms.
He asked my mother if she was Mrs. Hill. When she said she was, he said, "I‘m in trouble this morning and you have been recommended by the druggist and grocer down the street as an honest and wonderful woman. My wife was rushed to the hospital this morning, and since we have no relatives here, and I must open my dentist office, I have nowhere to leave my baby. Could you possibly take care of her for a few days?" He continued, "I will pay you in advance." With this he took out ten dollars and gave it to my mother.
Mother said, "Yes, yes, I will be glad to do so," and took the baby from his arms. When the man left, Mother turned to me with tears streaming down a face that looked as though a light was shining on it. She said, "I knew God would never let them take away my machine."
1.The turning point in the story may refer to ______.
A. a letter to the family
B. the time when mother comforted me
C. the man’s coming for help
D. the nicely dressed man’s trouble
2.According to the text all the following are true to the man EXCEPT _____.
A. his wife stayed in hospital
B. he was confused when in trouble
C. he had few men to turn to for help
D. he was a dentist
3.What does mother mean by saying “I knew God would never let them take away my machine.?”
A. God can do everything
B. The sewing machine is my only support
C. Everybody should believe in God
D. Never give up when in trouble

My daughter Alisa was born blind in her right eye and was bullied (欺侮) pretty severely in school. So I quitted my job as a babysitter and then schooled my daughter heart and soul at home.
A year ago a boy of 14 befriended my daughter on Facebook after reading something Alisa wrote about bullying. Today he messaged her and asked if she would like six tickets to a Colorado Rockies baseball game. They have never met in person but she said, “Sure! That would be great.”
Then I received a call from his mother explaining why her son had chosen my daughter. She said he thought my daughter deserved them because of all the good she did in the community. Her son, she explained, had experienced a similar situation and was also home schooled.
What she said is true. Now my daughter Alisa continues to teach groups of girls in trouble in our community how to look within themselves for the positive and how to be their own person.
Everything taken into consideration, we decided to meet the mother and the boy at a local bike shop. After meeting, the boy approached my car and my daughter gave him a hug and thanked him for his generosity. She told him that she had never been to a baseball game and that she was going to take her entire family, including myself, her dad, little sister, her cousin and an aunt who has brain cancer.
We all thanked one another, got in our car, and went our way. As we drove home my daughter opened the envelope. Inside it were the tickets and ＄100 each to buy hot dogs, pay for parking and not have any worries but a great time.
My daughter has always been the giver and now she and our family are the receivers and I can not tell you how incredibly honored we feel to be on the other end. What an incredible young man to have such a kind idea.
1.What did the author once do according to the passage?
A. She was a ticket seller.
B. She was a school teacher.
C. She was a babysitter.
D. She was a social worker.
2.How did the boy get to know the author’s daughter?
A. They met when buying tickets to a baseball game.
B. They got in touch via the Internet.
C. They became familiar when talking face to face.
D. They went to the same school and met each other.
3.Why did the boy want to offer free tickets to Alisa?
A. Because Alisa is a disabled girl.
B. Because he has a lot money to share.
C. Because Alisa often helps those in trouble.
D. Because he has a similar situation with Alisa.
4.Which of the following best describes the passage?
A. Good is rewarded with good.

C. Two heads are better than one.
