高一英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

Two monks of a great master were walking in the garden of the master’s house. They were asked to walk every day, from dawn to dusk. The walking was a kind of meditation（冥想）. They cannot sit in the day--the legs need a little movement and the blood needs a little circulation（循环）.

They both wanted to ask for the permission of the master to sit down, so they both decided, “Tomorrow. At the most, he will say no, but we are going to ask. And it doesn’t seem such an impolite act to sit in the garden.”

The next day they met in the garden. One was furious（狂怒的）---because the other was sitting---and he said, “What happened? I also asked, but he simply flatly refused and said no. And you are sitting! Are you not going against his orders?”

The other one said, “But he has said yes to me.”

“This looked very unjust,” the first said, “I will go and immediately inquire（询问）why he said no to me and yes to you.”

The other one said, “Wait a minute. Please tell me what you had asked.” The first said, “What I had asked? I had asked a simple thing. ‘Can I sit while meditating?’ He said, ‘No!’ and he looked very angry.”

The other started laughing and said, “Now I know what is the matter. I asked, ‘Can I meditate while sitting?’ He said, ‘Yes.’”

It all depends. Just a little difference and life is totally something else. Asking “Can I sit while meditating?” is just ugly. But asking “Can I meditate while sitting?” is perfectly okay. Good! At least you will be meditating.

Life is an empty canvas（油画布）, and one has to be very artistic about it.

1.Why did the master ask the two monks to walk every day?

A. Because siting doesn’t seem a polite deed.

B. Because walking can do good to their health.

C. Because he wanted to give them punishment.

D. Because walking is the only way to meditate.

2.What kind of person is the second monk?

A. wise-minded.　　 B. Easy-going.

C. Hot-headed.　　 D. Warm-hearted.

3.How did the master probably react when the second monk asked him the question?

A. He was disappointed with it.　　 B. He sang high praise for it.

C. He nodded to him peacefully.　　 D. He drove him away furiously.

4.What can we learn from the story?

A. Two heads are better than one.

B. It is easy to be wise after the event.

C. Every man is the architect of his own fortune.

D. It’s not what you say but how you say it that matters.

We are busy talking about and using the Internet, but how many of us know the history of the Internet?

Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer network didn’t work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way computer network system would keep on working on the time.

At first the Internet was only used by the government, but in the early 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks were allowed to use it too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software that made “surfing” in the Internet more convenient.

Today it is easy to get on-line and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending e-mail is more and more popular among students.

The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people’s life.

高一英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

B

When I was about 10 one day, I was walking down the street with my mother. She stopped to speak to Mr. Lee. I knew I could see Mr. Lee anytime around the neighborhood, so I just stood there. After we passed him, my mother stopped and said something unforgettable, “You let that be the last time you ever walk by somebody you know without opening your mouth to speak, because even a dog can wag its tail when it passes you on the street.” That sentence sounds simple but it made me become who I am.

At work, I used to say hello to the president of the company and ask him how our business was doing. But I also spoke to the people in the café and people who cleaned the buildings, and asked them how their children were doing, for every single person deserves to be accepted, no matter how humble(低微的) they are. I remember that after a few years of passing by the president, I had the courage to ask him for a chat. We had a great talk. At some point, when I asked him how far he thought I could go in his company, he said that if I wanted to, I could get all the way to his seat.

I’ve become vice-president, but that hasn’t changed how I treat people. I speak to people wherever I am. Speaking to people creates a pathway into their world, and it lets them come into mine, too.

The day you speak to someone who has his head down and then see him lift it up and smile, you will realize how powerful it is just to open your mouth and say hello.

3. What can we learn from the second paragraph?

A．The writer didn’t say hello to everyone in the company.

B．The writer made a very good impression on the president of the company.

C．The president of the company thought the writer was much better than him.

D．The president of the company actually didn’t like the writer at all.

4. For the writer, saying hello to others_______.

A．is a way to get what he wants

B．has become a habit and a way of life.
